3.1 AUTHORIZATION. When executed and delivered by the
Investor, and assuming the execution and delivery by the Company, this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement,

enforceable in accordance with its terms except as certain indemnification
provisions may be limited by principles of public policy, enforceability may be
limited by applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally and except as such enforceability is subject to general principles of

the Registration Rights Agreements and the Stockholders' Agreement.
3.2 NO CONFLICT WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Stockholders'
-13-
Agreement will not result in any violation of, be in conflict with, or
constitute a default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving
of notice: (i) any provision of any of charter documents of any Investor;
(ii) any provision of any judgment, decree or order to which any Investor is
a party or by which any Investor or its property is bound; or (iii) any

(a) This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Stockholders' Agreement, are made with the Investors in reliance upon
each Investor's representation to the Company, which by each Investor's
execution of this Agreement each Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares to be
received by each Investor will be acquired for investment for such Investor's
own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the direct or
indirect sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that each Investor has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, each Investor further
represents that such Investor has no contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares. Each of the
Investors represents and warrants to the Company that each office of such
Investor in which its investment decision was made, and the principal place of
business of such Investor (or principal residence if such Investor is an
individual), is located at the address or addresses set forth beneath its name
on EXHIBIT A hereto.
(b) Each Investor understands and acknowledges that
the Shares it is acquiring hereunder are deemed to be "restricted securities"
under the Securities Act as the offering of the Shares pursuant to this
Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state
securities or "blue sky" laws on the grounds that the offering and sale of
securities contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from registration pursuant
to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and such state securities or "blue sky"
laws, and that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is predicated upon
the Investors' representations set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Unless the Shares are registered under the
Securities Act, each Investor covenants that in no event will such Investor
dispose of any of the Shares other than pursuant to Rule 144 ("Rule 144") or
Rule 144A promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
under the Securities Act (or any similar or analogous rule), if available,
unless and until (i) the Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested
-14-
by the Company, the Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion
of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and the
Company's counsel to the effect that (x) such disposition will not require
registration under the Securities Act and (y) appropriate action necessary
for compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable state, local or
foreign law has been taken. Each certificate evidencing the Shares
transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend
set forth in Section 4.2 below, except that such certificate shall not bear
such legend if the transfer was made in compliance with Rule 144 (pursuant to
a provision of such rule not requiring such legend) or if the opinion of
counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not
required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the
Securities Act.
(d) Each Investor represents that: (i) the Investor is
an "Accredited Investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by
the Commission under the Securities Act and has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the Investor's prospective investment in the Shares. If other than an
individual, such Investor also represents that, if it has been organized for the
purpose of acquiring the Shares, all of the equity owners of the Investor are
"Accredited Investors"; (ii) the Investor has received all the information
requested by it from the Company and considered necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to purchase the Shares and has had an opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the offering and sale of the Shares and the other transactions
contemplated herein; (iii) the Investor has the ability to bear the economic
risks of such Investor's prospective investment in the Shares; and (iv) the
Investor is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold
the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer complete loss on its
investment.
4.2 LEGENDS.
(a) All certificates for the Shares shall bear the
following legends:
The securities represented by this certificate were issued in a
transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933 (as then in effect), and in reliance upon the holder's
representation that such securities were being acquired for
investment and not for resale. No transfer of such securities
may be made on the books of the Company unless accompanied by an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such
transfer may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or that such securities have
been so registered under a registration statement which is in
effect at the date of such transfer.
-15-
The sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other transfer of
the securities represented by this certificate is subject to the
provisions of an Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement,

first make an offering of such New Shares to each Investor holding more than
300,000 shares of Preferred Stock (for purposes of this Section 7.12, a "Major
Holder"), subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits,
reclassifications and the like, in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall give notice (the "Notice") to all Major
Holders stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Shares, (ii) the

after the giving of the Company's Notice, a Major Holder may elect to purchase
or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that
portion of such New Shares which equals the proportion that the number of shares
of Common Stock issued and held and issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock then held by such Major Holder bears to the total number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion of all
convertible securities) ("Pro Rata Share").
(c) If all New Shares referred to in the Notice which Major
Holders are entitled to obtain pursuant to Subsection 7.12(b) are not elected to
be obtained as provided in Subsection 7.12(b) hereof, the Company may, during
the 60-day period following the expiration of the 15-day period provided in
Subsection 7.12(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New
Shares to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more
favorable than, those specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter
into an agreement for the sale of the New Shares within such 60-day period, the
rights provided to Major Holders hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and
such New Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Holders
in accordance herewith.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 7.12 shall not
be applicable to:
(i) shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to
employees, advisors, consultants or outside directors of the Company
directly or pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company;
(ii) securities issued or issuable upon conversion of
the securities set forth in Section 2.2 hereof; or
(iii) securities issued or issuable in connection with a
merger, acquisition or consolidation.
(e) The right of first offer set forth in this Section 7.12
may not be assigned or transferred, except that such right is assignable by each
Major Holder to any wholly-owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation
or entity that is, within the meaning of the Securities Act, controlling,
controlled by or under common control with, any such Major Holder.
(f) All rights of first offer granted under this Section 7.12
shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the closing of the Company's
initial public offering of securities (and such right of first offer shall not
apply to such offering).
(e) For purposes of this Section 7.12, "Preferred Stock"
means the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock,
-20-
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
