and the Series C Purchasers desire to amend the Prior Agreement to grant such

1.1 DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement the following terms shall
have the following respective meanings:
"HOLDER" means any person owning of record Registrable Securities that
have not been sold to the public or any assignee of record of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof. Solely for purposes of
Section 2.3 (and Sections 2.5 through 2.10, 2.13 and 2.14 as such Sections
relate to a public offering under Section 2.3), the Founder shall be deemed to
be a Holder and the Common Stock held by the Founder shall be deemed to be
Registrable Securities.
"REGISTER," "REGISTERED," and "REGISTRATION" refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with
the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
registration statement or document.
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means (i) Common Stock of the Company issued or
issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of the Shares;
and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued
as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in
replacement of, such above-described securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Registrable Securities shall not include any securities (i) sold by a person to
the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144, or (ii)
sold in a private transaction in which the transferor's rights under Article II
of this Agreement are not assigned.
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES THEN OUTSTANDING" shall be the number of shares
determined by calculating the total number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock that are Registrable Securities and either (1) are then issued and
outstanding or (2) are issuable pursuant to then exercisable or convertible
securities.
"REGISTRATION EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company
in complying with Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 hereof, including, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, reasonable fees and disbursements of
a single special counsel for the Holders (provided that such expenses do not
exceed $30,000 without the consent of the Company), blue sky fees and expenses
and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such
registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the
Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company).
"SECURITIES ACT" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
"SELLING EXPENSES" shall mean all underwriting discounts, selling
commissions and stock transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the sale.

Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock and the Warrants issued to the Investors.
"FORM S-3" means such form under the Securities Act as in effect on the
date hereof or any successor registration form under the Securities Act
subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or incorporation of
substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company
with the SEC.
"SEC" or "COMMISSION" means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. REGISTRATION; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
2.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a) Each Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any
portion of the Registrable Securities (or the Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exercise thereof) unless and until the transferee has agreed in
writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 2.1, provided
and to the extent such Section is then applicable and:
(i) There is then in effect a registration statement
under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition
is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) (A) Such Holder shall have notified the Company of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (B) if
reasonably requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that
such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the
Securities Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of
counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual
circumstances.
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and
(ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be
necessary for a transfer by a Holder which is (A) a partnership to its partners
or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation
to its shareholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation or (C)
to the Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder,
provided the transferee will be subject to the terms of this Section 2.1 to the
same extent as if he were an original Holder hereunder.
(b) Each certificate representing Shares or Registrable
Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this
Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar
to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state
securities laws or as provided elsewhere in this Agreement):
3
7
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS
AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS
COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(c) The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly
unlegended certificates at the request of any holder thereof if the holder shall
have obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the
Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities
proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration,
qualification or legend.
(d) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable
state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such
securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the
appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.
2.2 DEMAND REGISTRATION.
2.2.1 Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if the
Company shall receive at any time a written request from the Holders of at least
forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the
"Initiating Holders") that the Company file a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering the registration of not less than twenty percent (20%)
of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (or any lesser percentage if the
anticipated aggregate offering price to the public of such Registrable
Securities is not less than $5,000,000), then the Company shall, within thirty
(30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all
Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2, shall use its best
efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities
Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered.
2.2.2 If the Company shall receive at any time during the "Market
Stand-Off" period described in Section 2.13 a written request from a Series C
Holder that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering the registration of Registrable Securities held by such Series C Holder
(other than Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants), then the
Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the date thereof, give written notice
to the Series C Holders that the Company will file a registration statement
under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities
(other than Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) held by such
Series C Holders. The Series C Holders shall, within thirty (30) days of the
receipt thereof, inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities
(other than Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) held by such
Series C Holder, to be included in such registration. The Company shall, within
thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, and in no event later than the date of
expiration of any portion of the "Market Stand-Off" period described in Section
2.13, use its best efforts to effect the registration
4
8
under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities (other than Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) that such Series C Holders request to be
registered. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Underwriting
Agreement entered into by the Company in connection with its Initial Offering
(as defined in Section 2.2.4(iii)) prohibits the filing by the Company of a
registration statement during the "Market Stand-Off" period described in Section
2.13, the Company shall file such registration statement immediately following
the expiration of such "Market Stand-Off" period and shall effect the
registration of all such Registrable Securities (other than Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) requested to be registered as soon as
reasonably practicable.
2.2.3 If the Initiating Holders or Series C Holders intend to
distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an
underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made
pursuant to this Section 2.2 and the Company shall include such information in
the written notice referred to in Section 2.2.2, as applicable. In such event,
the right of any Holder or Series C Holders to include its Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by
a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders or Series C Holders, as
applicable, and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders or Series C Holders, as applicable (which underwriter or
underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriter advises the Company in
writing that marketing factors make advisable a limitation of the number of
securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the
Company shall so advise all Holders or Series C Holders of Registrable
Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number
of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the
Holders or Series C Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis
based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders or Series
C Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities
excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the
registration.
2.2.4 The Company shall not be required to effect a registration
pursuant to Section 2.2.1:
(i) prior to the earlier of December 22, 1999 or the
Company's Initial Offering (as defined in clause (iii) below); or
(ii) after the Company has effected three (3)
registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registrations have either
(A) been declared or ordered effective or (B) the request for such registrations
have been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders (and such withdrawal
is not based on materially adverse information concerning the Company of which
the Initiating Holders were not reasonably aware at the time of such request);
or
5
9
(iii) during the period starting with the date of filing
of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of the registration statement pertaining to the initial public offering of
the Company's Common Stock (the "Initial Offering"), provided that the Company
is making reasonable and good faith efforts to cause such registration statement
to become effective; or
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a
registration statement pursuant to Section 2.2.1, a certificate signed on behalf
of the Board of Directors by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer
such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the
request of the Initiating Holders; provided that, so long as such request by
Initiating Holders is provided not more than once in any ninety (90) day period,
such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company no more than
twice in any one-year period.
2.3 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall notify all Holders of
Registrable Securities in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing
of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public
offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to,
registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the
Company, but excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit
plans, business acquisitions, and corporate reorganizations) and will afford
each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or
part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to
include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities held by it shall, within ten (10) days after the above-described
notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall
state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such
Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in
any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall
nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in
any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed
by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein.
2.3.1 UNDERWRITING. If the registration statement under which the
Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, the
Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event,
the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors
make advisable a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the
number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated,
first, to the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the
total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and
6
10
third, to any shareholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata
basis. No such reduction shall reduce the securities being offered by the
Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting,
and in no event will shares of any other selling shareholder be included in such
registration which would reduce the number of shares which may be included by
Holders without the written consent of Holders of not less than a majority of
the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering.
2.3.2 RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. The Company shall
have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under
this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not
any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The
Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the
Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
2.4 FORM S-3 REGISTRATION. In case the Company shall
receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request
or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor
to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related
qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
2.4.1 promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders
of Registrable Securities; and
2.4.2 as soon as practicable, effect such registration and
all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would
permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such
Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request,
together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other
Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request
given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 (or such successor or similar
form) is not available for such offering by the Holders; or
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of
any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration,
propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an
aggregate price to the public of less than $2,000,000; or
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders
for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the
Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration
statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the
request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4, provided that, so long
as such request by Holders is provided no more than once in any
7
11
ninety (90) day period, the Company may exercise such right only twice in each
12-month period; or
(iv) if the Company has already effected three (3)
registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4; or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.
2.4.3 Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a
Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other
securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of
the request or requests of the Holders.
2.5 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to
Section 2.2 or any registration under Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 herein shall be
borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any
registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so
registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. The
Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration
proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.4, the request of which has been
subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders or Series C Holders, as
applicable, unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information
concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders or Series C Holders, as
applicable, were not reasonably aware at the time of such request or (b) for
registration proceedings begun pursuant to Section 2.2.1, the Holders of a
majority of Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one requested
registration pursuant to Section 2.2.1 (in which event such right shall be
forfeited by all Holders). If the Holders are required to pay the Registration
Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including
Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number
of shares for which registration was requested.
2.6 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its best
efforts, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, to:
2.6.1 Prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request
of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered
thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to one hundred
eighty (180) days or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the
distribution related thereto. In addition, in the event that all Series C
Holders have not completed the distribution of Registrable Securities registered
pursuant to Section 2.2.2 by such time as Form S-3 (or such successor or similar
form) is available to the Company, the Company shall continue to maintain
registration of such Registrable Securities on a registration statement on Form
S-3 (or such successor or similar form), or if not available, such other
registration statement form as is available, for an additional one hundred
eighty (180) day period or, if earlier, until each Series C Holder has completed
the distribution related thereto.
8
12
2.6.2 Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement.
2.6.3 Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.
2.6.4 Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent
to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
2.6.5 In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each
Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
2.6.6 Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.
2.6.7 Furnish, at the request of a majority of the Holders
participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities
are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold
through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such
securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the
counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form
and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders
requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the
Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter
dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the
Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified
public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and
reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting
registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by
applicable accounting standards, to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities.
2.7 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All registration rights
granted under this Article II shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect seven (7) years after the closing of the Company's Initial Offering.
9
13
2.8 DELAY OF REGISTRATION; FURNISHING INFORMATION.
(a) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result
of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Article II.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling
Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the
Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their
Registrable Securities.
2.9 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:
2.9.1 To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of
each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder
and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (the "1934 Act"), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act,
the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
"Violation") by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the 1934 Act, any state
securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act,
the 1934 Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered
by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder,
partner, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9.1 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished for use in connection with such
registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or
controlling person of such Holder.
2.9.2 To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities
under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners,
10
14
directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company
or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such
Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder
may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an
instrument duly executed by such Holder for use in connection with such
registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling
person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or
controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially
determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9.2 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any
indemnity under this Section 2.9 exceed the gross proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder.
2.9.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.
2.9.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such
loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
11
15
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a
Holder hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering received by a Holder.
2.9.5 The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and
Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any
Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the
amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement
in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement
shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus
was furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person
asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such
action is required by the Securities Act.
2.9.6 The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise.
2.10 ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the Company
to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article II may be assigned
by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (i) is a
subsidiary, parent, shareholder, general partner, limited partner or retired
partner of a Holder upon the dissolution or liquidation of a Holder, (ii) is a
Holder's family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, or
(iii) acquires at least one million (1,000,000) shares of Registrable Securities
(as adjusted for stock splits and combinations); provided, however, (A) the
transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the
Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee
and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
assigned and (B) such transferee shall agree in writing to be subject to all
restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
2.11 AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Any provision of this Article II
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in
a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Holders of not less than a majority of
the outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be binding upon each Holder and the
Company. By acceptance of any benefits under this Article II, Holders of
Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.
2.12 LIMITATION ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS. After the date of
this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities,
enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities
of the Company that would grant such holder registration rights senior to those
granted to the Holders hereunder.
12
16
2.13 "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT. If requested by the Company or a
representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company, each Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder or Founder
(other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the
representative of the underwriters, not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days
following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed
under the Securities Act (the "Effective Date"), provided that such agreement
shall apply only to the Company's Initial Offering. The obligations described in
this Section 2.13 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee
benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated
in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145
transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.
The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of
Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until
the end of said one hundred eighty (180) day period.
2.14 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available to the Holders
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule
promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of
the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to
the general public;
(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish
to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the
Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject
to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may
reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC
allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated under this Section 3.2 with respect to a competitor of

3.3.1 Each Investor agrees not to use Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) of the Company for any purpose except to evaluate and
enforce its equity investment in the Company. Except as permitted under
subsection 3.3.2 below, each Investor shall undertake to treat such Confidential
Information in a manner consistent with the treatment of its own information of
such proprietary nature and agrees that it shall protect the confidentiality of
the Confidential Information in the same manner which it protects its own
confidential information. Each transferee of any Investor who receives
Confidential Information shall agree to be bound by such provisions. For
purposes of this Section, "Confidential Information": means any information,
technical data, or know-how, including, but not limited to, the Company's

technical data or know-how which (i) is in the Investor's possession at the time
of disclosure as shown by Investor's files and records immediately prior to the
time of disclosure; (ii) before or after it has been disclosed to the Investor,
it is part of the public knowledge or literature, not as a result of any action
or inaction of the Investor; (iii) is disclosed to an Investor on a
non-confidential basis by a third party having a legal right to make such
disclosure, or (iv) is approved for release by written authorization of Company.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply (i) to the extent that an
Investor is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to any law,
statute, rule or regulation or any order of any court or jurisdiction process or
(with written notice to the Company) pursuant to any direction, request or
requirement (whether or not having the force of law but if not having the force
of law being of a type with which institutional investors in the relevant
jurisdiction are accustomed to comply) of any self-regulating organization or
any governmental, fiscal, monetary or other authority; (ii) to the disclosure of
Confidential Information to an Investor's employees, counsel, accountants or
other professional advisors to the extent necessary for the performance of their
duties; (iv) to the extent that an Investor needs to disclose Confidential
Information for the protection of any of such Investor's rights or interest
against the Company, whether under this Agreement or otherwise; or (v) to the
disclosure of Confidential Information to a prospective transferee of securities
which agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section in connection with
the receipt of such Confidential Information.
3.4 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. The Company shall require all employees of
and consultants to the Company who have access to proprietary information of the

vest at the end of the first year following the earlier of the date of issuance
or such person's services commencement date with the Company, and (ii) eighty
percent (80%) of such stock shall vest ratably on a quarterly basis over the
remaining four (4) years. With respect to any shares of stock purchased by any
such person, the Company's repurchase option shall provide that upon such
person's termination of employment or service with the Company, with or without
cause, the Company or its assignee (to the extent permissible under applicable
securities laws and other laws) shall have the option to purchase at cost any
unvested shares of stock held by such person.
3.6 KEY MAN INSURANCE. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors, the Company shall obtain and carry a policy of "key man" term life
insurance for Xx. XxXxxxxx so long as he remains a director or employee of the
Company, payable to the Company, in the amount of $2,000,000.
3.7 RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company will at all times reserve
and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the
Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants, all Common Stock issuable from
time to time upon such conversion or exercise, as the case may be.
3.8 USE OF PROCEEDS. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of
Directors, the Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of Series E
Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Warrants sold pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement to (i) support the Company's acquisition of Oxford Health Plan's New
Jersey Medicaid business or (ii) such other purposes as determined by the

3.9 REAL PROPERTY HOLDING CORPORATION. The Company covenants that it
will operate in a manner such that it will not become a "United States real
property holding corporation" as that term is defined in Section 897(c)(2) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder
("FIRPTA"). The Company agrees to make determinations as to its status as a
USRPHC, and will file statements concerning those determinations with the
Internal Revenue Service, in the manner and at the times required under Reg.
Section 1.897-2(h), or any supplementary or successor provision thereto. Within
30 days of a request from an Investor or any of its partners, the Company will
inform the requesting party, in the manner set forth in Reg. Section 1.897-
2(h)(1)(iv) or any supplementary or successor provision thereto, whether that
party's interest in the Company constitutes a United States real property
interest (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 897(c)(1) and the
regulations thereunder) and whether the Company has provided to the Internal
Revenue Service all required notices as to its USRPHC status.
16
20
3.10 TERMINATION OF COVENANTS. All covenants of the Company contained in
Article III of this Agreement (except for those set forth in Section 3.3) shall
expire and terminate as to each Investor upon the later of (i) the Effective
Date of the Company's first firm commitment underwritten public offering
registered under the Securities Act and (ii) the date the Company first becomes
subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
4. RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFER AND FIRST REFUSAL
4.1 SUBSEQUENT OFFERINGS. Each Series C Holder shall have a right of
first offer and first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of up to an
aggregate of the first $5,000,000 of Equity Securities, as defined below, that
the Company proposes to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement, other
than the Equity Securities excluded by Section 4.6 hereof (the "Defined
Issuance"). Subject to the foregoing sentence, each Investor shall have a right
of first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of the remaining portion of any
such issuance of Equity Securities, as defined below, that the Company may, from
time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement, other
than the Equity Securities excluded by Section 4.6 hereof. Each Series C
Holder's pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (A) the number of shares of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or Registrable Securities issued upon
conversion of such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Series C
Holder to (B) the total number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
or Registrable Securities issued upon conversion of such Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock. Each Investor's pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (A) the
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock (including all shares of Common
Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares) which such Investor is
deemed to be a holder immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity
Securities (including shares which such Investor has elected to purchase upon
exercise of the rights granted the Series C Holders pursuant to the first
sentence of this paragraph) to (B) the total number of shares of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock (including all shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion of the Shares or upon the exercise of any outstanding
warrants or options) immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities
(including shares which such Investor has elected to purchase upon exercise of
the rights granted the Series C Holders pursuant to the first sentence of this
paragraph). The term "Equity Securities" shall mean (i) any Common Stock,
Preferred Stock or other security of the Company, (ii) any security convertible,
with or without consideration, into any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other
security (including any option to purchase such a convertible security), (iii)
any security carrying any warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase any
Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other security or (iv) any such warrant or
right.
4.2 EXERCISE OF RIGHTS. If the Company proposes to issue any Equity
Securities, it shall give each Series C Holder and Investor written notice of
its intention, describing the Equity Securities and the aggregate dollar amount
of investment sought by the Company, pursuant to a term sheet approved by the
Company's Board of Directors. Each Series C Holder shall have fifteen (15) days
from the giving of notice to offer to purchase its pro rata share of the Defined
Issuance by providing written notice to the Company, stating therein the
quantity of Equity Securities to be purchased; provided that if the Company has
not complied with the information delivery requirements specified in Section
3.1, such period shall be extended until fifteen (15)
17
21
days after the Company has complied with such requirements. Each Investor shall
have fifteen (15) days from the giving of such notice to agree to purchase its
pro rata share of any Equity Securities offered in excess of the Defined
Issuance, for the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the term
sheet by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity
of Equity Securities to be purchased; provided that if the Company has not
complied with the information delivery requirements specified in Section 3.1,
such period shall be extended until fifteen (15) days after the Company has
complied with such requirements.
4.3 ISSUANCE OF EQUITY SECURITIES TO OTHER PERSONS. If not all of the
Series C Holders elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Defined Issuance,
then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Series C Holders who do so
elect and shall offer such Series C Holders the right to acquire the
unsubscribed portion of the Defined Issuance. The Series C Holders shall have
five (5) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Company of their
election to purchase all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares. If
such Series C Holders fail to exercise in full their right to purchase the
Defined Issuance, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the
participating Investors and offer such Investors the right to acquire the
unsubscribed portion of the Defined Issuance. If the Series C Holders or
Investors fail to exercise in full their rights under this Section 4, the
Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the Equity Securities in
respect of which the Series C Holders' or Investors' rights were not exercised,
at a price and upon general terms and conditions (including, but not limited to,
coupons, dividends, minimum return, conversion rights, preferences, warrants,
seniority and covenants) materially no more favorable to the purchasers thereof
than specified in the Company's notice to the Investors and the Series C Holders
pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. If the Company has not sold such Equity
Securities within ninety (90) days of the initial notice provided by it pursuant
to Section 4.2, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity
Securities, without first offering such securities to the Series C Holders and
Investors in the manner provided above.
4.4 TERMINATION OF RIGHTS. The rights established by this Article IV
shall not apply to, and shall terminate upon the effective date of the
registration statement pertaining to the Company's Initial Public Offering.
4.5 TRANSFER OF RIGHTS. The rights of each Series C Holder and Investor
under this Article IV may be transferred to the same parties, subject to the
same restrictions as any transfer of registration rights pursuant to Section
2.10.
4.6 EXCLUDED SECURITIES. The rights of first refusal established by
this Article IV shall have no application to any of the following Equity
Securities:
(a) shares of Common Stock (and/or options, warrants or other
Common Stock purchase rights issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other
rights) issued or to be issued to employees, officers or directors of, or
consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary, pursuant to stock
purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the
Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors designated by holders
of Preferred Stock of the Company;
18
22
(b) (i) stock issued pursuant to any rights or agreements
outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, options and warrants outstanding
as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) stock issued pursuant to any such
rights or agreements granted after the date of this Agreement, provided that the
rights of first refusal established by this Article IV applied with respect to
the initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights or agreements;
(c) any Equity Securities issued for consideration other than
cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business
combination approved by the Board of Directors;
(d) shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company;
(e) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise,
as applicable, of the Shares; and
(f) any Equity Securities issued pursuant to any equipment
leasing arrangement, or debt financing from a bank or similar financial
institution which is approved by the Board of Directors.

upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the
parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each

provided, however, that prior to the receipt by the Company of adequate written

and address of the transferee, the Company may deem and treat the person listed
as the holder of such shares in its records as the absolute owner and holder of
such shares for all purposes, including the payment of dividends or any

5.6 SEPARABILITY. In case any provision of the Agreement shall be
