3.1. Issuance of Preferred Shares and Reservation of Reserved Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Corporation has authorized the

aggregate of 4,371,582 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and on the Subsequent
Closing Dates (as defined below) of an aggregate of up to
1,639,347 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (such shares of Series D Preferred
Stock being sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Preferred Shares"), and

3.2. Agreement to Sell and Purchase Preferred Shares. Subject to the
-----------------------------------------------
terms and conditions hereof, the Corporation shall issue to each Investor and
each Investor, severally and not jointly, shall acquire from the Corporation at

3.5. Subsequent Sales of Series D Preferred Stock. It is anticipated
--------------------------------------------
that certain purchasers may not purchase Series D Preferred Stock at the Initial
Closing, but may acquire Series D Preferred Stock in an aggregate amount not to
exceed 1,639,347 shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the Purchase Price at no
more than three additional closings (each, a "Subsequent Closing" and together
with the Initial Closing, the "Closings") no later than December 22, 1999. Any
purchaser at a Subsequent Closing shall be acceptable to TWP (as defined in the
Stockholders Agreement); provided that up to 546,450 shares of Series D
Preferred Stock may be sold to one or more strategic investors or other persons
(as identified by a majority of the Corporation's Board of Directors) at a
Subsequent Closing without TWP's consent and, provided, further, that 273,224
-------- -------
shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be sold to Science Applications Research
Inc. and/or Science Applications International Corporation without TWP's
consent. Any such sales of Series D Preferred Stock shall be made on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement and shall be considered to have been
issued pursuant hereto. Any Series D Preferred Stock sold pursuant to this
Section 3.5 shall be deemed to be "Preferred Shares" for all purposes under this

Securities" for all purposes of the Stockholders Agreement. Upon execution and
delivery of a counterpart to this Agreement, the purchasers thereof shall be
deemed to be "Investors" for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed
to be "Qualified Offerees" and "Stockholders" as of the date of this Agreement
for all purposes of the Stockholders Agreement and Schedule I hereto shall be
amended to add such parties.
SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties of the Corporation. As of the
---------- -------------------------------------------------
date hereof, the Corporation hereby represents and warrants to each Investor,
except as and to the extent set forth in a disclosure schedule (the "Corporation
Disclosure Schedule") attached hereto setting forth exceptions specified therein
to the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4, as follows:

or lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as
it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign
corporation to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the conduct or nature of the business conducted by it or the character or
location of the properties owned or leased by it makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed
would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As used herein the term "Material
Adverse Effect" means any change or effect that, individually or in the
aggregate, is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the business,

of the Corporation taken as a whole or on the ability of the Corporation to

requiring the Corporation to perform research and development activities with
respect to any product or proposed product or to develop or market any product
or proposed product; or (viii) any arrangement under which the consequences of a

the granting to any third party of any rights in or to any material assets of
the Corporation. Each Material Contract is in full force and effect except as
the same may have expired in accordance with its terms, the Corporation has not
received any written assertion of default under any Material Contract, and the
Corporation has not received any notice related to any termination or material
change to, nor is there any right or consent under, any of the Material
Contracts as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or

giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any material respect of any
of the Material Contracts (provided, however, that nothing in this sentence is
intended to constitute a representation with respect to any of the matters
addressed by Section 4.12(c)(i), and to the extent that there is a conflict
between this sentence and Section 4.12(c)(i), Section 4.12(c)(i) shall control).
The Corporation has not received any notice of the intention of any party to the
Material Contracts to terminate any such contract. The Corporation is not a
party to, nor has it any obligation under, any contract or agreement, written or

to enter into any new line of business.
4.14. Certain Agreements and Employee Benefit Plans.

which are contingent, or the terms of which are materially altered, upon the

employment or compensation guarantee extending for a period longer than one
year, or (C) providing

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or (iv) any stock option plan,
stock appreciation right plan, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan or
other plan or agreement, the benefits of which would be increased, or the
vesting of benefits of which will be accelerated, by the occurrence of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the value of any of the
benefits of which will be calculated on the basis of any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Section 4.14 of the Corporation Disclosure Schedule contains a
true and complete summary or list of, or otherwise describes, (i) all employee
benefit plans (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")) and all bonus, stock option,
stock purchase, restricted stock incentive, deferred compensation, retiree
medical or life insurance, supplemental retirement, severance or other benefit
plans, programs or arrangements, and all employment, termination, severance or
other contracts or agreements to which the Corporation is a party, with respect
to which the Corporation has any obligations which are material in amount and
which are maintained, contributed to or sponsored by the Corporation for the
benefit of any current or former employee, officer or director of the
Corporation and (ii) each employee benefit plan for which the Corporation could
incur liability under Section 4069 of ERISA, in the event such plan were
terminated, or under Section 4212(c) of ERISA, or in respect of which the
Corporation remains secondarily liable under Section 4204 of ERISA
(collectively, the "Material Plans"). Each Material Plan is in writing and the
Corporation has previously provided to the Investors a true and complete copy of
each Material Plan and a true and complete copy of each material document
prepared in connection with each such Material Plan including, to the extent
applicable, (i) a copy of each trust or other funding arrangement, (ii) the most
current summary plan description and summary of material modifications, (iii)
the most recently filed Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 5500, (iv) the
most recently received IRS determination letter for each such Material Plan, and
(v) the most recently prepared actuarial report and financial statement in
connection with each such Material Plan. The Corporation has no commitment (i)
to create, incur liability with respect to or cause to exist any other employee
benefit plan, program or arrangement, other than the Material Plans, (ii) to
enter into any contract or agreement to provide compensation or benefits to any
individual, or (iii) to modify, change or terminate any Material Plan, other
than with respect to a modification, change or termination required by ERISA or
the Code. To the extent applicable, the Material Plans comply with the
requirements of ERISA and the Code, and any Material Plan intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal
Revenue Service to be so qualified and nothing has occurred with respect to such
Material Plan which could be reasonably expected to cause the loss of such
qualification. The Corporation has no liability (contingent or otherwise) with
respect to any employee benefit plan covered by Title IV of ERISA whether or not
such plan is maintained, contributed to or sponsored by the Corporation.
Neither the Corporation nor, to the Corporation's knowledge, any officer or
director of the Corporation or any fiduciary of any Material Plan has incurred
any liability or penalty under Sections 4975
through 4980 of the Code or Title I of ERISA. Each Material Plan has been
maintained and administered in all material respects in compliance with its
terms and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders,
rules and regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code, which
are applicable to such Material Plans. There are no pending or, to the
Corporation's knowledge, threatened claims which have been asserted or
instituted against or otherwise involving any of the Material Plans and no suit,
action or other litigation (excluding claims for benefits incurred in the
ordinary course of Material Plan activities) has been brought or, to the
knowledge of the Corporation, is threatened against or with respect to any such
Material Plan. No Material Plan is under audit or investigation by any
governmental agency or authority. All material contributions, reserves or
premium payments required to be made or accrued as of the date hereof to the
Material Plans have been made or accrued.
(c) Operating Company. Immediately following each Closing, the

commitment by the Corporation to be issued, any Stock Option pursuant to the
Stock Option Plan as of the date hereof, together with (i) the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option, (ii) the date of grant or
anticipated grant of such Stock Option, (iii) the extent to which such Stock
Option is currently vested or scheduled to vest, (iv) the exercise price of such
Stock Option, (v) whether such Stock Option is intended to qualify as an
incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code (an

Corporation Disclosure Schedule also sets forth the aggregate number of ISO's
and nonqualified stock options outstanding as of the date hereof.

extension of time within which to file) all federal income Tax Returns and all
other material Tax Returns that are required to be filed by it and all such Tax
Returns are true and correct in all material respects. The Corporation has
paid, or adequately provided for on its Financial Statements, all Taxes that are
due from the Corporation. No material tax liens have been filed and no material
deficiencies or claims are being proposed or asserted in writing with respect to
any Taxes. All Taxes which the Corporation is obligated to withhold from
amounts owing to any employee, creditor or third party have been withheld and
timely paid over to the appropriate taxing authority.
(b) The income Tax Returns of the Corporation have not been examined
by the IRS or any other taxing authority, and no such examination is pending or,
to the knowledge of the Corporation, threatened. No waivers, extensions or
comparable consents of the time to assess any Income Taxes of the Corporation
are currently outstanding.
(c) The Corporation has never been a member of an affiliated group
filing
consolidated returns for federal income Tax purposes. The Corporation is
not a party to any Tax allocation, Tax indemnity or Tax sharing agreement and is
not liable for the Taxes of any other Person by operation of law.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement: (i) "Tax" or "Taxes" means any
and all taxes, fees, levies, duties, tariffs, imposts and other charges of any
kind (together with any interest, penalties, additions to tax or additional
amounts imposed by any taxing authority with respect thereto), imposed by any
government or taxing authority, including, without limitation, taxes or other
charges on or with respect to income, franchises, windfall or other profits,
gross receipts, property, sales, use, capital stock, payroll, employment, social
security, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, or net worth; taxes

stamp, transfer, value added or gains taxes, license, registration and
documentation fees; and customs' duties, tariffs and similar charges; (ii)
"Income Tax" means federal income Tax and state and local income and franchise
Taxes imposed on or measured by net income; and (iii) "Tax Return" means all

representations and warranties of the Investors set forth in Section 5, the
offer, sale and issuance of the Preferred Shares as contemplated by this
Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of any applicable state
and federal securities laws, subject to any post-Closing filings required by
state "blue sky" laws.
4.17. Insurance. All the insurable properties of the Corporation are
---------
insured for the benefit of the Corporation in such amounts, with such
deductibles and against such risks and losses as are reasonably deemed adequate
by the Corporation with respect to risks usually insured against by persons
operating similar properties in the localities in which such properties are
located under policies in effect and issued by insurers of recognized
responsibility.
4.18. Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any certificate, instrument
----------
or written statement furnished or made to the Investors by or on behalf of the
Corporation in connection with this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or, taken as a whole with all other statements, omits to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and
therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made. The financial projections prepared by the Corporation and included in
Section 4.18 of the Corporation Disclosure Schedule have been prepared by the
Corporation in good faith based on assumptions that the Corporation believes to
be reasonable, although no representation or warranty is made that the results
set forth in such projections will be achieved or realized.

containing embedded microchips (including systems and equipment supplied by
others or with which the systems of the Corporation or interface) and the
testing of all such systems and equipment, as so reprogrammed, was materially
complete by October 31, 1999. The cost to the Corporation of such reprogramming
and testing and of the reasonably foreseeable consequences of the occurrence of
the year 2000 to the Corporation (including reprogramming errors and the failure
of others' systems or equipment) is not reasonably expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except for the reprogramming referred to in the
preceding sentence as may be necessary, the computer and management information
systems of the Corporation is and, with ordinary course upgrading and
maintenance, will continue for the term of this Agreement to be, sufficient to
permit the Corporation to conduct its businesses without Material Adverse
Effect.
4.21. Suppliers and Customers. The Corporation has no knowledge of any
-----------------------
termination, cancellation or threatened termination or cancellation or
limitation of, or any material modification or change in, or expressed material
dissatisfaction with the business relationship between the Corporation and any
supplier, vendor, customer or client of the Corporation, in each case, in which
termination, cancellation or material adverse modification would have a material
adverse effect on any material business relationship.
4.22. Affiliate Matters. Except as set forth in Section 4.22 of the
-----------------
Corporation Disclosure Schedule, no affiliate of the Corporation and, to the

provided that such public knowledge was not the result of any act attributable

accounting period, with an explanation of any material differences between
them;

respect to the transactions contemplated hereby by or any of the terms thereof
without the prior consent of each of the Investors holding at least 10% or more
of the then outstanding Class D Preferred Stock (or shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof), which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, or (ii) use in advertising or publicity the name of any party hereto,
or any partner or employee of such party hereto or any of its respective

maintain, as soon as practicable after the hiring of a new CEO, with financially
sound and reputable insurers, "key man" term life insurance on the life of the
CEO in the amount of $5,000,000, in form reasonably satisfactory to TWCP. Such
"key man" term life insurance policy shall be owned by the Corporation and the
Corporation shall be named as the payee of all benefits thereunder. The
Corporation shall cause to be maintained, provided the same is available at
reasonable cost, directors' and officers' liability insurance covering all
directors and officers of the Corporation and covering the Non-Voting Observer
providing coverage in an amount of at least $10 million.
(i) Employee Nondisclosure and Secrecy Agreements. The Corporation
---------------------------------------------
shall use its best efforts to obtain a confidential information/non-competition
agreement in substantially the form previously provided to Investors, which form
may be subject to modifications made upon recommendation of counsel, from future
officers, key employees and other employees who will have access to confidential
information of the Corporation upon their employment by the Corporation.
7.3. Non-Voting Observer.
-------------------
(a) So long as the TWCP Investors (as defined in the Stockholders
Agreement) own shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued upon
conversion of such Preferred Shares), the Corporation shall cause the
establishment of one person designated by TWCP as a non-voting observer to the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (a "Non-Voting Observer") it being
understood that TWCP may from time to time change the designation of such Non-
Voting Observer. In the event of a vacancy caused by the resignation or other
cessation of service of any Non-Voting Observer, upon nomination by TWCP, the
Corporation shall cause the appointment of a new Non-Voting Observer nominated
by TWCP at least seven (7) days prior to the date of the next regular or special
meeting of the Board. The Non-Voting Observer shall be permitted to attend
meetings of the Board or each such other board or committee in person or
telephonically.
(b) The Non-Voting Observer shall be entitled to be present at all
meetings of the Board and such observer shall be notified of any meeting of any
such board of directors or a committee thereof, including such meeting's time
and place, in the same manner and to the same extent, if any, as directors of
the Corporation (and with respect to committees, who are not
members of such committee) and shall have the same access to information
(including any copies of all materials distributed to members of the Board)
concerning the business and operations of the Corporation and at the same time
and to the same extent, if any, as directors of the Corporation (and with
respect to committees, who are not members of such committee) and shall be
entitled to participate in discussions of the Board and consult with, and make
proposals and furnish advice to, the board of directors or members of the
committee without voting; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
-------- -------
under any obligation to take any action with respect to any proposals made or
advice furnished by the Non-Voting Observer. The Non-Voting Observer shall have
a duty of confidentiality and a duty of good faith to the Corporation comparable
to the analogous duties of a director of the Corporation.
(c) The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest
extent permitted under the applicable law, the Non-Voting Observer to the same
extent as all other directors and on terms no less favorable than under the
Corporation's articles of incorporation and by-laws on the date hereof.
7.4. Qualified IPO. Notwithstanding Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 above,
-------------
the rights of the Investors and the obligations of the Corporation under such
Sections, except those contained in Section 7.2(d)(i) (which shall survive),
shall terminate upon the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten public
offering of the Corporation's Common Stock under the Securities Act, which
results in gross proceeds to the Corporation of not less than Fifty Million
Dollars ($50,000,000) at an offering price per share of not less than $22.88 (as
adjusted for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar recapitalizations).
SECTION 8. Restriction on Transfer.
---------- -----------------------
(a) Preferred Shares held by an Investor and/or any Reserved Shares
issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by an Investor shall not be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (each,
a "Transfer") except upon the conditions specified in this Section 8, which
conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the
Securities Act.
(b) Each certificate for shares of the capital stock of the
Corporation held by an Investor and each certificate for any such securities
issued to subsequent transferees of any such certificate shall (unless otherwise
permitted by the provisions of Sections 8(c) and 8(d)) be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE
OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT.
ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE
CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8 OF A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMONG
TELLIUM, INC. AND THE OTHER PARTIES
THERETO, AND NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE VALID OR
EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. UPON THE
FULFILLMENT OF CERTAIN SUCH CONDITIONS, THE SECRETARY OF TELLIUM, INC.
HAS AGREED TO DELIVER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF A NEW CERTIFICATE, NOT
BEARING THIS LEGEND, FOR THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY REGISTERED
IN THE NAME OF THE HOLDER HEREOF. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE
OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF
THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF TELLIUM, INC.
(c) Each Investor agrees, prior to any Transfer of such shares, to
give written notice to the Corporation of such Investor's intention to effect
such Transfer and to comply in all other respects with the provisions of this
Section 8. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the
proposed Transfer and shall be accompanied by the written opinion, addressed to
the Corporation, of counsel for the holder of such shares, stating that in the
opinion of such counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation) such proposed Transfer does not involve a
transaction requiring registration or qualification of such shares under the
Securities Act or the securities "blue sky" laws of any relevant state of the
United States; provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel shall be
-------- -------
necessary for a Transfer by an Investor to an Affiliate or by an Investor that
is a partnership to a liquidating trust for the benefit of its partners or to a
partner of such Investor, or a retired partner of such Investor who retires
after the date hereof, or the estate of any such partner or retired partner if
the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 8 to
the same extent as if such transferee were originally a signatory to this
Agreement or by a TWCP Investor (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) to
the Persons identified in Section 1.11 of the Stockholders Agreement. Such
Investor shall thereupon be entitled to Transfer such shares in accordance with
the terms of the notice delivered by it to the Corporation. Each certificate or
other instrument evidencing the securities issued upon the Transfer of any such
shares (and each certificate or other instrument evidencing any untransferred
balance of such shares) shall bear the legend set forth in Section 8(b) unless
(x) in such opinion of counsel registration of any future Transfer is not
required by the applicable provisions of the Securities Act or (y) the
Corporation shall have waived the requirement of such legends; provided,
--------
however, that such legend shall not be required on any certificate or other
-------
instrument evidencing the securities issued upon such Transfer in the event such
Transfer shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the
transferee is not an affiliate of the Corporation. No Investor shall Transfer
any shares until such opinion of counsel has been given (unless waived by the
Corporation or unless such opinion is not required in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8(c)).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, the
restrictions imposed by this Section 8 upon the transferability of any shares of
the capital stock of the Corporation held by an Investor shall cease and
terminate when (i) any such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
as otherwise contemplated by Section 8(c) and, pursuant to Section 8(c), the
securities so transferred are not required to bear the legend set forth in
Section 8(b) or (ii) the holder of such shares has met the requirements for
Transfer of such shares pursuant to subparagraph (k) of Rule 144. Whenever the
restrictions imposed by this Section 8 shall terminate, as herein provided, each
Investor holding shares as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be
entitled to receive from the Corporation, without expense, a new certificate not
bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 8(b) and not containing any
other reference to the restrictions imposed by this Section 8.
SECTION 9. Transfer Taxes.
---------- --------------
The Corporation agrees that it will pay, and will hold the Investors
harmless from, any and all liability with respect to any stamp, transfer or
similar taxes which may be determined to be payable in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, or any modification,
amendment or alteration of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and that
it will similarly pay and hold the Investors harmless from all issue taxes in
respect of the issuance of the Reserved Shares to the Investors.
SECTION 10. Exchanges; Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Certificates. Upon
----------- -------------------------------------------------
surrender by any Investor to the Corporation of any certificate representing
Preferred Shares or Reserved Shares, the Corporation at its expense will issue
in exchange therefor, and deliver to such Investor, a new certificate or
certificates representing such shares, in such denominations as may be requested
by such Investor. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate representing any
Preferred Shares or Reserved Shares purchased or acquired by an Investor upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares, and in case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon delivery of any indemnity agreement satisfactory to the
Corporation, or in case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of such certificate, the Corporation at its expense will issue and deliver to
such Investor a new certificate for such shares of like tenor, in lieu of such
lost, stolen or mutilated certificate.
SECTION 11. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements, Etc.
----------- -----------------------------------------------------------
All representations and warranties hereunder shall survive the Closing and
expire on the date that is two years after the Closing Date, and all agreements
contained herein shall survive indefinitely until, by their respective terms,
they are no longer operative.
SECTION 12. Indemnification.
----------- ---------------
(a) The Corporation shall defend, indemnify and hold each Investor and
its Affiliates harmless from all damages, costs (including reasonable attorney's
fees), liabilities and penalties (collectively, "Losses") incurred by or awarded
against such Investor or its Affiliates arising out of or incident to any breach
of the representations and warranties made by the Corporation in or pursuant to
Section 4 of this Agreement, but only to the extent that the Losses incurred by
each such Investor in connection with all such breaches exceed $250,000 in the
aggregate (in which case the Corporation's liability shall extend to all such
Losses); provided, however, that the Corporation's liability to any Investor for
Losses which are limited to the diminution in the value of the Preferred Shares
purchased by the Investor hereunder shall in no event exceed the product of
$9.15 multiplied by the number of Preferred Shares purchased by such Investor
hereunder; provided further that the Losses of affiliated Investors shall be
aggregated for purposes of the $250,000 threshold.
(b) Each Investor shall severally defend, indemnify and hold the
Corporation and its Affiliates harmless from all damages, costs (including
reasonable attorney's fees), liabilities and penalties incurred by or awarded
against the Corporation or its Affiliates arising out of or incident to any
breach of the representations and warranties made by such Investor in or
pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement.
SECTION 13. Remedies. In case any one or more of the covenants and/or
----------- --------
agreements set forth in this Agreement shall have been breached by a party
hereto, the other parties may proceed to protect and enforce its or their rights
either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including, but not limited to,
an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an action for
specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement.
SECTION 14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure
----------- ----------------------
to the benefit of the Corporation, the Investors and the respective successors
and assigns of the Corporation and the Investors. The rights and duties of an
Investor as set forth herein may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by the
Investor without the prior written consent of the Corporation; provided,
--------
however, that an Investor may assign its rights and duties hereunder to its
-------
Affiliate or in the case of a TWCP Investor to the Persons identified in Section
1.11 of the Stockholders Agreement without the consent of the Corporation,
provided that any such assignment shall not release such Investor from any of
its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section
12(b). Any transferee (other than an Investor) to whom rights under Section 7.1
or 7.2 are transferred shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the
Corporation a written instrument by which such transferee identifies itself,
gives the Corporation notice of the transfer of such rights, identifies any
securities of the Corporation owned or acquired by it and agrees to be bound by
the obligations imposed hereunder and under the Stockholders Agreement upon
Stockholders (as defined therein) to the same extent as if such transferee were
an Investor hereunder and a Stockholder thereunder. A transferee to whom rights
are transferred pursuant to this Section 14 may not again transfer such rights
to any other person or entity, other than as provided in this Section 14.
SECTION 15. Entire Agreement. Subject to the following sentence, this
----------- ----------------
Agreement and the other writings referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto
which form a part hereof contain the entire agreement among the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous
arrangements or understandings with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as between the Corporation and TWCP, that certain letter agreement
dated October 21, 1999 shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with
its terms.
SECTION 16. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other

dispatch and (c) in the case of mailing, on the third business day after the
posting thereof.

----------- -------
be modified or amended, nor may any of the provisions hereof be waived,
temporarily or permanently, except pursuant to a written instrument executed by
the Corporation and Investors, if such parties are holding at least 66-2/3% of
the Preferred Shares (or shares issued upon conversion thereof) then outstanding
and then held by the Investors.
SECTION 18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
----------- ------------
of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an
original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one
