Company, Goldman and the Investors enter into this Agreement in order to provide
Goldman with certain rights of co-sale with respect to sales of shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("COMMON STOCK").
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the
parties agree as follows:
1. CO-SALE RIGHTS.
1.1 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER. At least five business days before an
Investor (a "SELLING HOLDER") may sell or transfer any shares of Common Stock
(the "OFFERED SHARES") into which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("SERIES A STOCK") have been
converted (the "SUBJECT SHARES"), such Selling Holder shall deliver to Goldman
and the Company a written notice (the "TRANSFER NOTICE") stating: (i) the
Selling Holder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer Offered
Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (each, a
"PROPOSED TRANSFEREE"); (iii) the number of Offered Shares to be transferred to

sale or transfer of the Subject Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Selling
Holder is not required to deliver a Transfer Notice pursuant to this Section
1.1, if the proposed transfer is permitted pursuant to Section 1.4.
1.2 RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. If a Selling Holder intends to sell any
Offered Shares to a third party, Goldman shall have the right to participate in
any sale to a Proposed Transferee upon the same terms and conditions as set
forth in the Transfer Notice (the "CO-SALE RIGHT"), subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. Goldman may exercise its Co-Sale Right
by delivering to the Selling Holder proposing to sell or transfer Offered
Shares, within five business days after receipt of the Transfer Notice, written
notice of its intention to participate, specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock Goldman desires to sell to the Proposed
CO-SALE RIGHTS AGREEMENT

result of, or may acquire, upon exercise of the New Warrant (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) or such other warrant that has been issued to Goldman upon
partial exercise or transfer of the New Warrant divided by (b) the sum of the
----------
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then held by the Investors (assuming
full conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities)
plus the number of shares of Common Stock then held by Goldman (assuming full
----
exercise of the New Warrant or such other warrant that has been issued to
Goldman upon partial transfer or exercise of the New Warrant) multiplied by (y)
-------------
the number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the Proposed Transferee
(the "TRANSFERRED SHARES"), rounded down to the nearest whole number. At the
closing of the purchase and sale of the Transferred Shares, as determined by the
Selling Holder and the Proposed Transferee, Goldman shall deliver to the Selling
Holder or a designated agent one or more certificates representing the number of
shares of Common Stock Goldman elects to sell hereunder, duly endorsed for
transfer to the Proposed Transferee.
1.3 CONTINUING RIGHTS. The exercise or non-exercise of Xxxxxxx'x
Co-Sale Rights with respect to a particular sale of Transferred Shares by a
Selling Holder shall not adversely affect Xxxxxxx'x Co-Sale Rights with respect
to subsequent sales of Subject Shares.

Co-Sale Rights with respect to: (i) any pledge of Subject Shares made by an
Investor in a bona fide loan transaction with a commercial bank that creates a

FAMILY"); (iii) the transfer to a trust established by the Selling Holder for
the benefit of one or more members of such Selling Holder's Immediate Family;
(iv) sales or other transfers by an Investor which when aggregated together do
not exceed 1,000,000 Subject Shares; or (v) the transfer of any Subject Shares
in the event of a Complete Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement the
term "COMPLETE CHANGE OF CONTROL" means a merger of the Company with or into any
entity that is not an affiliate of the Company or the acquisition of all of the
outstanding capital stock by any person or entity that is not an affiliate of
the Company. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to waive
any obligations of Goldman under the New Warrant, including without limitation
the conditions and procedures for exercise thereunder.

than 200,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming full exercise of the New Warrant

exercise of the New Warrant); (ii) the filing by or against the Company of any
petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or the appointment of any receiver or
trustee over the Company's assets; (iii) immediately prior to the consummation
of a public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with the
