SECTION 6.4. Solvency Letter. Prior to the sale, assignment,
---------------
transfer, pledge, distribution or other conveyance (a "Distribution") of any or
all of the InfoTouch Membership Interests by InfoTouch to any of the
stockholders of InfoTouch, and provided such Distribution shall occur prior to
December 31, 2000, InfoTouch shall: (a) Obtain an opinion letter (containing
customary assumptions, qualifiers and disclaimers), satisfactory to NetSelect in
its sole and absolute discretion, from a nationally recognized independent
investment banking or solvency firm substantially to the following effect:
(i) InfoTouch is not insolvent and will not be rendered insolvent as a
result of the consummation of the Distribution. The present fair saleable value
of the assets of InfoTouch, and the assets of InfoTouch at fair valuation,
exceed InfoTouch's existing debts and other liabilities.
(ii) The property of InfoTouch does not, and shall not, following the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, constitute unreasonably
small capital, for InfoTouch to carry out its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted following consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including the capital needs of InfoTouch, taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by InfoTouch, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof.
(iii) InfoTouch has not incurred and does not intend to incur debts beyond
its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and
amounts of cash to be received, and of amounts to be payable on or in respect of
the debts of InfoTouch). The cash flow of InfoTouch, after taking into account
all anticipated uses of the cash of InfoTouch, will at all times be sufficient
to pay all amounts on or in respect of the debts of InfoTouch when such amounts
are required to be paid; and
(b) Represent to NetSelect that (i) InfoTouch does not believe that
any final judgments against InfoTouch or any actions against InfoTouch for money
damages will be rendered at a time when, or in an amount such that, InfoTouch
would be unable to satisfy such judgments promptly and in accordance with their
terms (taking into account the maximum reasonable amount of such judgments in
such actions at the earliest reasonable time at which such judgments might be
rendered); and (ii) the cash flow of InfoTouch, after taking into account all
other anticipated uses of the cash of InfoTouch (including the payments on or in
respect of the debt referred to above in Section 6.4(c)), will at all times be
sufficient to pay all such judgments promptly and in accordance with their
terms.
SECTION 6.5. Additional Capital Contributions of NetSelect. On or

$1,400,000 equity investment in NetSelect, Xxxxx & Co. shall make a $700,000

investment in NetSelect. On February 1, 1997, CDW Internet shall make a $666,667
equity investment in NetSelect, Xxxxx & Co. shall make a $466,667 equity
investment in NetSelect, and Whitney shall make a $933,333 equity investment in

-10-
LLC prior to or on February 1, 1997, NS LLC shall cancel that number of Units
(as defined in the LLC Agreement) held by NetSelect determined by dividing (i)
the amount not contributed by NetSelect by (ii) $2.83.
SECTION 6.6. Merger of NetSelect and InfoTouch. Prior to May 1, 1997,
---------------------------------
InfoTouch shall terminate its operating activities and its sole activity
thereafter shall be to own the InfoTouch Membership Interest. Except as may
otherwise be provided below in this Section 6.6, NetSelect agrees that its sole
activity shall be to own the NetSelect Membership Interest. In the event that
(a) the Board of Directors of NetSelect shall determine that NetSelect shall
file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the sale of shares of capital stock of NetSelect in a public offering, (b) the
Board of Directors of NetSelect shall resolve to enter a Merger (as defined
below), consolidation or sale of NetSelect or all or substantially all of the
assets of NetSelect, (c) the stockholders of NetSelect upon the issuance of all
of the NetSelect Shares contemplated by this Agreement shall own equity
securities of NetSelect possessing less than 50% of the voting power of
NetSelect, or (d) the Board of Managers of NS LLC shall resolve to sell the
Membership Interests in a public offering, then NetSelect shall promptly notify
InfoTouch thereof. Upon receipt of notice from NetSelect (the "Notice Date"),
InfoTouch shall have thirty (30) days to request that NetSelect merge InfoTouch
with NetSelect and NetSelect shall have thirty (30) days to request that
InfoTouch merge with NetSelect, and, if either party so requests, the parties
shall enter into such merger subject to the satisfaction of all of the following
within ninety (90) days following the Notice Date: (v) InfoTouch shall have
terminated all of its operating activities by May 1, 1997 and its sole activity
shall be to own the InfoTouch Membership Interest in NS LLC; (w) InfoTouch shall
have a full audit of its financial statements for its three prior fiscal years
conducted and certified by a "Big 6" accounting firm (the "Full Audit"), and
shall deliver the certified financial statements, together with the accountants'
unqualified opinion (which may contain a "going-concern" reservation) thereon
(such Full Audit to be paid by NS LLC), to NetSelect; (x) the Full Audit shall
show as of the date of the most recent balance sheet included in its financial
statements that the stockholders' equity of InfoTouch shall be greater than zero
and the total liabilities of InfoTouch (including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities) shall not exceed $100,000 (either of the foregoing
results set forth in clause (x), a "Qualified Audit"). If any of the foregoing
conditions are not satisfied, neither NetSelect nor NS LLC shall be obligated to
merge with InfoTouch and neither NetSelect nor NS LLC shall be precluded from
commencing a public offering at such time, and furthermore, InfoTouch (not NS
LLC) shall pay the expenses of the "Big 6" accounting firm in preparing such
Full Audit. InfoTouch shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to "cure" any
Qualified Audit rendered, for example, by paying money or posting another form
of security, reasonably satisfactory to NetSelect, to settle any contingent
liability, and to have a Full Audit which is not a Qualified Audit rendered. If
InfoTouch is able to obtain a Full Audit which is not a Qualified Audit,
InfoTouch shall pay the expenses of the "Big 6" firm in connection therewith,
and NetSelect shall merge with InfoTouch.
Any merger shall be pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably approved by InfoTouch and NetSelect. In the case of a merger prior
to a public offering of
-11-
NetSelect, the agreement shall provide that the shareholders of InfoTouch shall
receive a combination of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
of NetSelect (in the same ratio as owned by InfoTouch in NS LLC) equal to the
(i) Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares of NetSelect outstanding as of the date of the
merger divided by (ii) one minus the InfoTouch LLC Percentage minus (iii) the
number of Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares outstanding as of such date. In the
event of any public offering of NetSelect prior to any merger between NetSelect
and InfoTouch, upon any such merger, the parties shall invoke the valuation
procedures set forth in Section 3.5 of that certain RealSelect, Inc.
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, to determine the relative
equity interests of the InfoTouch Stockholders and the NetSelect Stockholders in
the surviving entity. For purposes of this Section 6.6, the following terms
shall have the meaning set forth below:
"ADJUSTED FULLY DILUTED SHARES" of NetSelect outstanding at any date
shall mean (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of NetSelect
outstanding on such date, plus (ii) the maximum number of shares of Class A
Common Stock of NetSelect which are issuable pursuant to convertible securities,
options, warrants or other rights outstanding on such date, excluding, for this
purpose, any outstanding options granted to officers and employees of NetSelect
in their capacities as such, which grants have been approved by the Board of
Managers of NS LLC.
"INFOTOUCH LLC PERCENTAGE" at any date shall mean a fraction, the
numerator of which is the aggregate membership interests of InfoTouch in NS LLC
at such date and the denominator of which is the aggregate membership interests
of all Members in NS LLC outstanding at such date.
"MERGER" shall mean any consolidation of NetSelect with, or merger of
NetSelect with or into, another corporation or reorganization of NetSelect,
other than a consolidation, reorganization or merger in which NetSelect is the
surviving corporation. NetSelect shall be the "surviving corporation" in any
merger if NetSelect, or its stockholders immediately before the transaction,
shall own (immediately after the transaction) equity securities, other than
warrants, options or similar rights to subscribe to or purchase equity
securities, of the surviving or acquiring corporation, or its parent
corporation, possessing more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or
acquiring corporation or its parent corporation; and in making the determination
of ownership by the stockholders of a corporation, immediately after the
transaction, of equity securities pursuant to the preceding clause, equity
securities which they owned immediately before the transaction as shareholders
of another party to the transaction shall be disregarded. For the purposes
hereof, voting power of a corporation shall be calculated by assuming the
conversion of all then outstanding convertible equity securities (including
those convertible at some future date), but not assuming the exercise of any
warrants, options or other rights to subscribe to or purchase voting shares.
SECTION 6.7 InfoTouch Public Offering and NetSelect Capital Stock
-----------------------------------------------------
Issuance. InfoTouch hereby agrees that it shall not commence any public offering
--------
(regardless of the
-12-
aggregate value established for the InfoTouch capital stock at such time)
without first merging with NetSelect pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6
hereof.
SECTION 6.8. NetSelect Options. Except as contemplated on the
-----------------
Closing Date, NetSelect agrees not to issue any equity securities of NetSelect
without the prior approval of the Board of Managers of NS LLC.
SECTION 6.9. InfoTouch Audit. Promptly following the Closing Date,
---------------
InfoTouch shall have a pre-Closing balance sheet audit conducted and certified
by a "Big 6" accounting firm (the "Balance Sheet Audit") and shall deliver the
balance sheet, together with accountant's unqualified opinion thereon (which may
contain a "going concern" qualification), to NetSelect. To the extent that the
Balance Sheet Audit confirms that InfoTouch contributed an amount to NS LLC in
excess of $50,000 more than that represented by InfoTouch on Exhibit A hereto
----
(the "Excess"), NetSelect shall then transfer to InfoTouch at NetSelect's
option, (i) cash in the amount of such Excess, or (ii) that number of Units of
the NetSelect Membership Interest as shall equal such Excess divided by $2.83.
To the extent that the Balance Sheet Audit confirms that InfoTouch contributed
an amount to NS LLC in excess of $50,000 less than that represented by InfoTouch
----
on Exhibit A hereto (the "Deficit"), InfoTouch shall promptly transfer to
NetSelect at InfoTouch's option, either (i) cash in the amount of such Deficit,
or (ii) that number of Units of the InfoTouch Membership Interest as shall equal
such Deficit divided by $2.83.
SECTION 6.10. RIN Restriction on Transfer. (a) Prior to making any
---------------------------
proposed Transfer (as hereinafter defined), other than to a Member or a
Permitted Transferee (as hereinafter defined) that would result in such
transferee (a "Transferee") becoming the owner, whether of record or
beneficially, of more than five percent (5%) of the Units in NS LLC, the
transferring Member shall first obtain the written approval of RIN, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In seeking such approval, a Member
must identify the proposed Transferee and the number of Membership Interests
proposed to be Transferred, and provide such additional publicly available
information regarding the proposed Transferee as RIN may reasonably request. Any
decision by RIN pursuant to this Section 6.10, whether to approve or not approve
such Transfer, shall be set forth in writing and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis of such decision; provided, however, that in the event RIN
-------- -------
shall fail to approve or not approve such Transfer within thirty (30) days after
the date of the receipt of such request, RIN shall be deemed to have approved
such Transfer. For purposes hereof, "Transfer" shall mean any transfer, pledge,
sale, assignment, hypothecation, creation of a security intent or a lien on,
placing in trust (voting or otherwise), or any other way encumbrance or
disposal, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions.
(b) Prior to making any proposed Transfer hereunder that shall result
in the ownership of Membership Interests, whether of record or beneficially, by
a Transferee whose primary business is "real estate related", the transferring
Member shall first obtain the written approval of RIN, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. In seeking such approval a Member must identify the
proposed Transferee and the number of Membership Interests proposed to be
Transferred, and provide such additional publicly available information
regarding
-13-
the proposed Transferee as RIN may reasonably request. Any decision by RIN
pursuant to this Section 6.10, whether to approve or not approve such Transfer,
shall be set forth in writing and shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
of such decision. For purposes of this Agreement, "real estate related" shall
mean any person, entity or group whose primary business is comprised of real
estate brokerage, real estate management, mortgage financing, appraising,
counseling, land development and building, title insurance, escrow services,
franchising, operation of an association comprised of real estate licensees,
operation of a multiple listing service, and entities that own or are owned by
firms engaged in any of the foregoing.
(c) The approval rights of RIN described in Sections 6.10(a) and (b)
above shall (a) cease upon the termination of that certain Operating Agreement,
dated as of November 26, 1996 (the "Operating Agreement"), by and between RIN
and RealSelect, (B) be suspended upon the occurrence of, and during the
continuance of, any breach by the NAR of that certain (i) Joint Ownership

of, the Transfer by RIN of eighty percent (80%) or more of the shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "RealSelect Shares"), of RealSelect owned
by RIN as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event that RIN
-------- -------
shall transfer greater than eighty percent (80%) of the RealSelect Shares owned
by RIN as of the Closing Date, and RIN shall not, within forty-five (45) days
from the date of such Transfer, increase its ownership in RealSelect Shares so
that RIN shall own at least twenty percent (20%) of the RealSelect Shares owned
by RIN as of the Closing Date, RIN's rights pursuant to Section 6.10(a) and (b)
shall terminate, and (D) be suspended upon the execution of a memorandum of
understanding, letter of intent, or such other binding understanding or
agreement in connection with the sale of RIN to any person, entity or group
other than a Member or a Permitted Transferee (as hereinafter defined);
provided, however, that such right shall terminate upon the closing of any such
-------- -------
sale contemplated by such memorandum of understanding, letter of intent, or such
other binding understanding or agreement.
(d) A "Permitted Transferee" shall mean, with respect to a Member:
(i) the spouse of such Member, any lineal descendant of a grandparent
of such Member, or of the spouse of such Member, and any spouse of such lineal
descendant (which lineal descendants, their spouses, the Member, and his or her
spouse are herein collectively referred to as the "Member's Family Members");
(ii) the trustee of a trust (including a voting trust) principally for
the benefit of such Member's Family Members; provided, that such trust may also
--------

other obligations of the trust or of the estates of one or more of such Member's
Family Members payable by reason of the death of any of such Member's Family
Members;

of InfoTouch and NetSelect set forth in this Agreement, together with each of
the InfoTouch Disclosure Schedule, delivered by InfoTouch, and the NetSelect

(collectively, the "NetSelect Affiliates"), from and against any and all costs,

and expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party actions), including,

specifically set forth and described on Exhibit A hereto) not disclosed herein
and on the InfoTouch Disclosure Schedule arising, or based on acts, omissions or
conditions occurring or failing to occur, prior to or on the Closing Date; (ii)
any breach of any covenant or agreement by InfoTouch, not waived in writing by

as the case may be, for any Damages unless and until the aggregate amount of all
Damages subject to indemnification by NetSelect or InfoTouch, as the case may
be, hereunder exceeds $100,000, and then only to the extent that such Damages
shall exceed $100,000. In addition, NetSelect's and InfoTouch's respective
indemnification obligations hereunder shall commence on the Closing Date and
terminate upon the earlier of (i) the IPO or (ii) three months following the
completion of the audit of the 1998 fiscal year of NetSelect. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, any claims for indemnification shall survive the time at
which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to such sentence if notice of the
inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such indemnity shall have been given
to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time. For
purposes of this Agreement, "IPO" shall mean the initial public offering,

Note: the above assets and liabilities are indicated as of October 31, 1996, as
of the closing date November 26, 1996, these accounts have changed in the normal
course of business of InfoTouch and therefore the actual assets and liabilities
to be transferred should be those relating to the above in effect as of the
closing date November 26, 1996. InfoTouch will provide a closing balance sheet
as of November 26, 1996 indicating the actual assets and liabilities transferred
to NS LLC. Attached are the Financial Statements of InfoTouch Corporation
(unaudited) as of October 31, 1996 and the related notes. Also attached is an
analysis of the balance sheet that adjusts certain accounts and allocates the
balances between InfoTouch and NS LLC.
The above assets transferred to NS LLC include all of InfoTouch's Intellectual
Property and fixed assets, except those that are predominately used in the kiosk
business.
The following material unusual transactions occurred in November 1996 and will
be included in the transferred liabilities as of the November 26, 1996:
1. Loan from Xxxx Xxxxxxxx $150,000
(this loan will be offset against planned investment by
"InfoTouch Investors" that InfoTouch has committed to be
invested in NetSelect, Inc. by December 6, 1996.)
2. Legal Fees by Troop Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP. TBD

Notes Regarding Allocation of Assets and Liabilities
to NetSelect L.L.C and lnfoTouch as of 10131/96
1. Accounts Receivable- RIN receivable written off as part of new agreement
--------------------
with RIN and NAR $262,504. Remaining balance includes $71,739 in billed
Internet fees to Toronto Franchisee, see note 2 below and $8,494 is
miscellaneous Internet receivables.
2. Toronto Unbilled Software License Fees: This $90,000 is unbilled license
---------------------------------------
fees per unsigned agreement with Toronto Franchisee. This amount and the
receivable above will be offset against a purchase of the Toronto
Franchisee that is currently under discussion.
3. Internet Hardware Purchased by InfoTouch for RIN: This was not included on
-------------------------------------------------
the books of InfoTouch because under our operating agreement this hardware
was to be paid for by RIN. The $60,022 (see attached schedule) was
Internet hardware purchased by InfoTouch for RIN but never paid for by RIN
and therefore should be capitalized as fixed assets on the balance sheet.
The $45,777 (see attached schedule) is Internet hardware purchased by
InfoTouch for RIN and paid for by RIN. However, as part of the agreement
to forgive the receivable due to InfoTouch by RIN, RIN agreed to provide
this equipment to us at no cost. Therefore this should be capitalized as a
fixed asset on the books of NetSelect.
4. Accrued Vacation: he amount of accrued vacation over one years vacation
-----------------
was transferred as a liability to InfoTouch and not included as a
liability of NetSelect.
5. Officer Loans and Warrants: The InfoTouch Board voted to convert these
---------------------------
shares to InfoTouch stock at the price that InfoTouch's financing round
will come in at. This will only dilute InfoTouch shareholders and have no
effect on NetSelect.
6. For Analysis of Other-Balances: See October 31, 1997 balance sheet and

InfoTouch Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE I- THE COMPANY AND A SUMMARY OF ITS SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
InfoTouch Corporation (hereinafter "InfoTouch" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was incorporated in July 29, 1993. The Company specializes in
developing and operating high traffic Internet sites with content related to
real estate and other areas traditionally seen in classified sections of
newspapers. In addition to creating Internet sites, the Company's technology
allows it to help newspaper and other similar organizations create
electronically generated print advertisements directly from its Internet
advertising database. The Company's significant accounting policies are set
forth below.
Product Development
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", requires
capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. Based upon the Company's product
development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of
a working model. At October 31, 1996, all costs associated with the development
of the Company's software site have been expensed.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment, consisting of computer equipment, software, furniture
and mixtures, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization and net of a reserve of $225,000 (associated with the writedown of
certain of the Company's kiosk assets to net realizable value recorded in
September 1995). Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated lives of the assets, generally from two to five years, or the life
of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Income taxes
Income taxes are computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, " Accounting for Income Taxes." ("SFAS 109"). Under the
asset and liability method per SFAS 109, deferred income taxes represent the
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws.
Management estimates and assumptions and interim financial statements
10
The Company's fiscal and tax years both end on December 31. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim
financial statements at October 31, 1996 include all adjustments consisting only
of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position at October 31, 1996.
NOTE 2- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

November 1, 1996, the amount of the operational listing fees earned for November

be $366,103 (see 'Monthly Accounting Statement-Distribution and Web Site
Development Agreement as of November 1, 1996").

HomeSelect Kiosk System with TouchTech Corporation, an Ontario Canada company

kiosks but all computer actuated systems and mediums that HomeSelect and/or
InfoTouch markets. All computer actuated systems will be subject to a 5%
royalty fee generated from such system (gross revenues) and $.40 per active
property listing. As of October 31, 1996, the Company is owed $71,739, such
amount for listing fees billed and unpaid as of October 31, 1996. The Company

Network calling for the Company to design, develop and operate XXXXXXX.XXX, with
RIN responsible for all data acquisition, sales and marketing efforts for the
site, including, home page sales, third party banner advertising sales and other
forms on revenue to be potentially derived from the site. The agreement also
called for RIN to pay the Company a minimum of $95,000 per month ("Guaranty
Payment") until such time as the Company's portion of the cash flow from the
site was sufficient to provide it with at least $95,000 a month. In late June,
RIN notified the Company of the financial difficulties that it was experiencing
and ceased paying the $95,000 monthly guaranteed amount. Subsequent to this
notification, RIN made two payments to the Company, $42,422 in July and $50,000
in August. RIN also notified the Company that it could retain RIN's portion of
any and all sales of agent and broker home pages collected by InfoTouch.
Effective July 24, 1996, the Company notified RIN that during June and July
1996, RIN had discontinued making the Guaranty Payments as called for in the
Agreement and that the Company accepted the failure to pay as the equivalent of
the 60 day prior written notice of RIN's intent to discontinue such payments and
that RIN was relieved of its obligation to make such payments as of August 1,
1996. The Company also notified RIN that as a result of RIN's discontinuance of
payments, the Company exercised its option to purchase exclusive, full, complete
and unencumbered ownership of the software associated with the domain site for
$1. By letter dated July 29, 1996, RIN stated that it disagreed with the
characterization of the current status of the financial payments between it and
the Company and that RIN had not provided InfoTouch with notice of its intent to
discontinue the guarantee payments and that in light of the foregoing, does not
believe that InfoTouch may exercise the option to purchase the software
associated with the domain site for $1. Assuming the $1 option is not
available, the buyout price would be $457,000 on October 31, 1996 and is
$366,000 on November 1, 1996.
In connection with the Merger and the related agreements, it is anticipated that
all amounts owed to and from RIN will be eliminated.

of the Preferred Stock, dividends may be paid on the Class A Common
Stock at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors
shall determine; provided, however, that in the case of dividends or
-------- -------
other distributions payable in stock of the Corporation, including
distributions pursuant to stock splits or divisions of capital stock
of the Corporation (other than a split or division of the Preferred
Stock), only shares of Class A Common Stock shall be distributed with
respect to Class A Common Stock and only shares of Class B Common
Stock shall be distributed with respect to Class B Common Stock (with
no dividend or distribution payable in Corporation Common Stock being
paid on any shares of either class of Corporation Common Stock unless
a dividend or distribution of the same number of shares of Corporation
Common Stock is paid simultaneously on the shares of the other class
of Corporation Common Stock) and that, in the case of any combination
or reclassification of either the Class A Common Stock or the Class B
Common Stock, the shares of the other class of Corporation Common
Stock shall also be combined or reclassified so the number of shares
of each class of Corporation Common Stock outstanding immediately
following such combination or reclassification shall bear the same
ratio to the number of shares of such class of Corporation Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such combination or
reclassification as the number of shares of the other class of
Corporation Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
combination or reclassification bears to the number of shares of such
class of Corporation Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such combination or reclassification; provided, further, that no
-------- -------
dividend or distribution may be declared or paid in cash or property
on shares of either Class A Common Stock nor Class B Common Stock
unless the same dividend or distribution per share is paid
simultaneously on the other class of Corporation Common Stock.
(iii) Rights on Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding-up. Upon any
-------------------------------------------------
duly authorized voluntary or any involuntary liquidated, dissolution,
or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment in full
or reasonable provision for payment in full of all claims and
obligations of the Corporation, in accordance with Section 281 of the
GCL, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, or with the
provisions of any successor statute, shall have been made, and subject
to any preferential or other rights of holders of outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to shares ratably, in
accordance with the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by

distribution among the holder of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock, whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings.

------
entitled to vote.
(ii) Dividends. Subject to the provisions of law and the rights of
---------
the Preferred Stock, dividends may be paid on the Class B Common Stock
at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors shall
determine; provided, however, that in the case of dividends or other
-------- -------
distributions payable in stock of the Corporation, including
distributions pursuant to stock splits or divisions of capital stock
of the Corporation (other than a split or division of the Preferred
Stock), only shares of Class B Common Stock shall be distributed with
respect to Class B Common Stock and only shares of Class A Common
Stock shall be distributed with respect to Class A Common Stock (with
no dividend or distribution payable in Corporation Common Stock being
paid on any shares of either class of Corporation Common Stock unless
a dividend or distribution of the same number of shares of Corporation
Common Stock is paid simultaneously on the shares of the other class
of Corporation Common Stock) and that, in the case of any combination
or reclassification of either the Class B Common Stock or the Class A
Common Stock, the shares of the other class of Corporation Common
Stock shall also be combined or reclassified so that the number of
shares of each class of Corporation Common Stock outstanding
immediately following such combination or reclassification shall bear
the same ratio to the number of shares of such class of Corporation
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such combination or
reclassification as the number of shares of the other class of
Corporation Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
combination or reclassification bears to the number of shares of such
class of Corporation Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such combination or reclassification: provided, further, that no
-------- -------
dividend or distribution may be declared or paid in cash or property
on shares of either Class B Common Stock nor Class A Common Stock
unless the same dividend or distribution per share is paid
simultaneously on the other class of Corporation Common Stock.
(iii) Automatic Conversion. (A) Promptly upon the occurrence of a
--------------------
Triggering Event (as hereinafter defined), each outstanding share of
Class B Common Stock shall, by virtue of, and simultaneously with, the
consummation of such offering and without any action on the part of
the holder thereof, be deemed automatically converted into one fully
paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock.
"Triggering Event" means that time at which the Board of
----------------
Directors of the Corporation shall effect a qualified public
offering (a "Qualified Public Offering") of any or all of the
shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of shares of Class
A Common Stock which (A) yields proceeds to the Corporation
4
of at least $10,000,000 (net of underwriting discounts and
commissions) and (B) would establish an aggregate value for the
shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the consummation of such offering of at least $40,000,000.
(B) Promptly upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
such that shares of Class B Common Stock are converted automatically
into shares of Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall deliver
written notice to each of the holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B
Common Stock and Preferred Stock, and the certificate or certificates
that represented such shares of Class B Common Stock immediately prior
to the occurrence of the Triggering Event shall upon conversion
represent that number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which
such shares of Class B Common Stock theretofore represented by such
certificate shall have been automatically converted, and the holder of
such shares of Class B Common Stock shall surrender such certificate
of certificates, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper
instruments of transfer, at the principal office of the Corporation or
of any transfer agent for shares of the Class A Common Stock.
Delivery of such certificates shall obligate the Corporation to issue
such shares of Class A Common Stock, and thereupon the Corporation or
its transfer agent shall promptly issue and deliver at such stated
address to such holder of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such
holder is entitled by reason of such conversion, and shall cause such
shares of Class A Common Stock to be registered in the name of such
holder.
(C) The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or
other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of
shares of capital stock of the Corporation upon conversion of any
shares of Class B Common Stock; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or
delivery of any certificate for such shares in a name other than that
of the holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock in respect of
which such shares are being issued.
(D) The Corporation shall reserve, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
shares of Class B Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.
(E) All shares of Common Stock which may be issued in
connection with the conversion provisions set forth herein will, upon
issuance by the Corporation, be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership
thereof, and free from all taxes, liens or charges with respect
thereto.

236,470 validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of Class A Common
Stock authorized by Section 3 hereof. Each certificate that theretofore
represented a share of shares of Old Common Stock shall thereafter represent

Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified;
provided, however, that each record holder of a stock certificate or
-------- -------
certificates that theretofore represented a share or shares of Old Common Stock
shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate or certificates, a new
certificate or certificates evidencing and representing the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock to which such record holder is entitled pursuant to the
foregoing reclassification.
5. Ranking. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Class A Common
-------
Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights and privileges and

liability of each member of its Board of Directors to the Corporation for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director to the Corporation;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate the stockholders, (ii)
-------- -------
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the GCL or (iv) for
any transaction from which such Director derived an improper personal benefit.

Certificate of Designations for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
--------------------------------------------------------------------
and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
----------------------------------------
Pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Board of Directors
of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, two series of the Preferred Stock, par value $.001
per share, of the Corporation are hereby established (A) one, consisting of
1,647,059 shares, to be designated "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock"
(hereinafter "Series A Preferred Stock"), and (B) one, consisting or 352,941
shares, to be designated "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" (hereinafter,
"Series B Preferred Stock", and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the
"Convertible Preferred Stock"). The Board of Directors hereby is authorized to
issue such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock from time to time and for such
consideration and on such terms as the Board of Directors shall determine; and
subject to the limitations provided by law and by the Certificate of
Incorporation as amended, the designations, powers, preferences and relative
participating, optional and other special rights of, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions upon, the Convertible Preferred Stock are as
follows:
(1) Dividends.
---------
The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
participate with the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in
any dividends paid or set aside for payment (other than dividends payable solely
in shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock) so that the holders
of Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive with respect to each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock an amount equal to (x) the dividend payable with
respect to each share of Class A Common Stock multiplied by (y) the number of
shares (and fraction of a share, if any) of Class A Common Stock into which such
share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible as of the record date for
such dividend.
(2) Voting Rights.
-------------
Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers, and they
shall be entitled to vote on all matters as to which holders of Class A Common
Stock shall be entitled to vote, voting together with the holders of Class A
Common Stock as one class. Each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class
A
2
Common Stock into which such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock could be
converted, Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional
voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares
into which shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by each holder could be
converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being
rounded upward).
(3) Rights on Liquidation.
---------------------
(a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (any such event being hereinafter
referred to as a "Liquidation"), before any distribution of assets of the
Corporation shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Class A Common
Stock or Class B Common Stock, the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive payment out of such assets of the Corporation in the
following amounts: (i) with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock,
the sum of (A) $2.83, plus (B) an amount equal to $0.18 per annum accruing on a
quarterly basis on the last day of each calendar quarter for the period from the
date of issuance of such share to the date of Liquidation, plus (C) any declared
and unpaid dividends on such share; and (ii) with respect to each share of
Series B Preferred Stock, the sum of (A) $6.19, plus (B) an amount equal to
$0.40 per annum accruing on a quarterly basis on the last day of each calendar
quarter for the period from the date of issuance of such share to the date of
Liquidation, plus (C) any declared and unpaid dividends on such share. The
amount payable with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series
B Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above is referred to as the
"Preferred Stock Liquidation Preference" for such share. If the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall not be sufficient to make in full the payments herein required, such
assets shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Convertible Preferred
Stock based upon the aggregate Liquidation Preferences of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock held by each such holder.
(b) If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
stockholders exceed the aggregate amount payable pursuant to paragraph (a)
above, the remainder of such assets shall be distributed to the holders of
Convertible Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a
pro-rata basis, with the amount distributable to the holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock to be computed on the basis of the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock which would be held by them if immediately prior to the Liquidation
all of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted
into shares of Class A Common Stock.
(c) A merger or consolidation including the Corporation and a sale,
lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation
shall be deemed a Liquidation, unless in connection with such transaction, the
Convertible Preferred Stock remains unchanged or the holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock receive a stock having terms and condition which are no less
favorable than the terms and conditions of the Convertible Preferred Stock;
provided, however, that any such event shall not be deemed a Liquidation if so
-------- -------
determined by action of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.
3
(4) Conversion.
----------
(a) Right to Convert. The holder of any share or shares of
----------------
Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time, as such holder's
option, to convert all or a portion of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
held by such holder into such number of fully paid nonassessable shares of Class
A Common Stock at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Initial
"Conversation Rate" shall be one share of Common Stock for each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall issue any
shares of Class A Common Stock (i) by stock dividend or any other distribution
upon any stock of the Corporation payable in Class A Common Stock or securities
convertible into Class A Common Stock or (ii) its subdivision of its outstanding
Class A Common Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, the Conversion Rate then
in effect shall be increased proportionately, and, in like manner, in the event
of any combination of shares of Class A Common Stock, by reclassification or
otherwise, the Conversion Rate in effect shall be issued upon the conversion of
any Convertible Preferred Stock. With respect to any fraction of a share of a
Convertible Preferred Stock called for upon any conversion (after multiplying
the Conversion Rate in effect by the total number of Conversion Shares, as
defined below), the Corporation shall pay to the holder an amount in cash equal
to such fraction multiplied by the current market value of a share, determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Such right of conversion shall be
-----------------------
exercised by the holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock by giving prior
written notice to the Corporation (the "Conversion Notice") that such holder
elects to convert a stated number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock(the
"Conversion Shares") into shares of Class A Common Stock on the date specified
in the Conversion Notice (which date shall not be earlier than the date of the
Conversion Notice), and by surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing such Conversion Shares. The Conversion Notice shall also contain a
statement of the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or
certificates for Class A Common Stock shall be issued. Promptly after the
receipt of the Conversion Notice and surrender of the Conversion Shares, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the holder of
the Conversion Shares or his nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates
for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
such Conversion Shares. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
as of the close of business on the date specified in the Conversion Notice, and
the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of
holders of record of such shares of Class A Common Stock as the close of
business of such date.
(c) Stock Reserved. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and
--------------
keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock, solely
for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock as
herein provided, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from
time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all of the shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.
(d) Reorganization. If any capital reorganization or
--------------
reclassification of the Class A Common Stock of the Corporation, or
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with
4
or into another corporation, shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, lawful or adequate
provision shall be made whereby the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall
thereafter have the right to receive, in lieu of the shares of Class A Common
Stock of the Corporation immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of
the conversion rights, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be
issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of outstanding
shares of such Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Class
A Common Stock immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of such
rights had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger not
taken place, and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with
respect rights and interests of the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock to
the end that such conversion rights (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustment of Conversion Rate) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Corporation shall not
effect any such consolidation or merger to which this paragraph (d) is
applicable, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the
successor corporation (of other than the Corporation) resulting from such
consolidation or merger shall assume by written instrument, executed and mailed
or delivered to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the obligation
to deliver to such holders such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to
receive upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
(e) Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
--------------------
this Section 4:
(i) If the Corporation shall effect a public offering of shares of
Class A Common Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933 at a price per
share of Class A Common Stock which (A) yields proceeds to the Corporation of at
least $10,000,000 (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) and (B) would
establish an aggregate value for the Corporation's Class A Common Stock
(assuming the conversion of all Convertible Preferred Stock and Class B Common
Stock) outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such offering of at
least $40,000,000, the Corporation, by action of its Board of Directors, shall
have the right to require that each share of Convertible Preferred Stock be
converted into Class A Common Stock. Following any such action by the Board of
Directors, all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall, by
virtue of, and simultaneously with, the consummation of such transaction and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be deemed automatically
converted into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A
Common Stock into which such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are
convertible at such time pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof.
(ii) Upon the approval, set forth in a written notice to the
Corporation, of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock, of an election to convert the Convertible Preferred
Stock into Class A Common Stock, all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be automatically converted into the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock which such shares of Convertible
Preferred
5
Stock are convertible on the date of such approval without any further action by
the holders of such shares.
(f) Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon
--------------------
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to
the converting holder for any tax in respect of such issue. The Corporation
shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other
than that of the holder of any of the Convertible Preferred Stock converted, and
the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate
unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have
paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
(g) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
-----------------------------
adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Corporation, at its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Convertible
Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of
Convertible Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a
like certificate setting forth the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and
the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon
the conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock owned by such holder.
(h) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
----------------------
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any shares of Class
A Common Stock or other securities, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire, or any option for the purchase of, any shares of stock of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the
Corporation shall mail to each holders of Convertible Preferred Stock at least
thirty (30) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the
date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or rights, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distributions or right.
(i) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4
-------
to be given to the holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
deemed given if deposited in the United States mall, postage prepaid, and
addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the
Corporation.
(5) Negative Covenants.
------------------
In addition to any other rights provided by law, neither the
Corporation nor any subsidiary of the Corporation shall, without first obtaining
the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3%
of the then outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock:
6
(a) Amend or repeal any provision, or add any provision to, the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, if such action would
adversely affect the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or the
restrictions provided for the benefit of, Series A Preferred Stock or the Series
B Preferred Stock;
(b) Authorize or issue any additional shares of any existing class or
series of capital stock or any shares of any new class or series of capital
stock (except for (i) shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock and Class B Common Stock and (ii) up to an
aggregate of 400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the NetSelect,
Inc. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan).
(c) Recapitalize or reclassify any class or series of capital stock;
(d) In the case of the Corporation, pay or declare any dividend or
distribution on any shares of its capital stock (except dividends, pursuant to
Section 1(a) above), or apply any of its assets to the redemption, retirement,
purchase or acquisition, directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries or
otherwise, of any shares of its capital stock;
(e) Merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation or other
entity, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets;
(f) Provide for any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up;
(g) Effect any material change in its business as such business was
proposed to be conducted or operated on the date this Certificate of Designation
became effective;
(h) Enter into any transaction with any employee, consultant, officer
or director of the Corporation or any subsidiary or holder of 5% of any class of
capital stock of the Corporation, or any member of their respective immediate
families or any corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlled by
one or more of such employees, consultants, officers, directors or 5%
stockholders or members of their immediate families, on terms less favorable to
the Corporation or the subsidiary than it would obtain in a transaction between
unrelated parties.
(6) Purchase Rights.
---------------
If at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any options,
securities convertible into Class A Common Stock or rights to purchase stock,
warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Class A
Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then each holder of Convertible Preferred
Stock will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if
such holder had held the number of shares of Class A Common Stock acquirable
upon conversion of such holder's Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before
the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such
Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is
7
taken, the date as of which the record holders of Class A Common Stock are to be
determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

Chancery of Delaware, or such other court shall deem proper.

Securities Act, the Corporation may require the contemplated
transferee to furnish it with an investment letter,
substantially similar to this Letter, to insure compliance by
such transferee with the Securities Act.

approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In seeking such approval, the
Stockholder must identify the proposed Transferee and the number of Shares
proposed to be Transferred, and provide such additional publicly available

obtain the written approval of RIN, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In seeking such approval, the Stockholder must identify the proposed
Transferee and the number of Shares proposed to be Transferred, and provide such
additional publicly available information regarding the proposed Transferee as
RIN may reasonably request. Any decision by RIN pursuant to this section 1.1,

(c) From and after the date of any Qualified Public offering (as such
term is defined in Section 2.2 of Article 2 of this Agreement), no approval of
RIN pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or Section 1.1(b) hereof shall be required with
respect to any Transfer made by or on behalf of the Stockholder other than a
Transfer made pursuant to a Long-Form Registration Statement or a Short-Form
Registration Statement on a nationally recognized securities exchange or

following any Qualified Public offering, such approval; right of RIN pursuant to
Section 1(a)and Section 1(b) hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

closing of the Stock and Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Closing Date");
provided, however, that in the event that RIN shall transfer greater than eighty
percent (80%,) of the RealSelect Shares owned by RIN as of the Closing Date, and

its ownership in RealSelect Shares so that RIN shall own at least twenty percent
(20%) of the RealSelect Shares owned by RIN as of the Closing Date, RIN's rights
pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall terminate, and (D) be suspended upon the
execution of a memorandum of understanding, letter of intent, or such other
binding understanding or agreement in connection with the sale of RIN to any
person, entity or group other than a member of NS LLC or a Permitted Transferee
of RIN; provided, however, that such right shall terminate upon the closing of
any such sale contemplated by such memorandum of understanding, letter of
intent, or such other binding understanding or agreement.
(e) If at any time, the RIN Approval Rights contained in the NetSelect
Stockholders Agreement are amended or revised in such a manner as to benefit the
NetSelect stockholders subject to the RIN Approval Rights, then simultaneously
with such amendment or revision, the terms of this Article 1 shall be similarly
amended or revised so that the restrictions on the Transfer of the Shares held
by the Stockholder are never more burdensome than the restrictions on the shares
of stock held by the stockholders of NetSelect.
(f) A "Permitted Transferee" shall mean, with respect to the
Stockholder:
(i) the spouse of such Stockholder, any lineal descendant of a
grandparent of such Stockholder, or of the spouse of such Stockholder, and any

Agreement.

on Form S-3 under the Securities Act. In the event that the managing underwriter
advises the Corporation in writing that the number of shares of Registrable
Stock requested to be included exceeds the number which can be sold in such
offering, the Corporation shall include in such registration, prior to any
shares held by Additional Requesting Holders, the Registrable Stock requested to
be included which in the opinion of the managing underwriters can be sold, among
the Requesting Holders on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of
Registrable Stock then held by each holder; provided that if any such holder
--------
would thus be entitled to include more shares of Registrable stock than such
holder requested to be registered, the excess will be allocated among the other
holders on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Stock then held by
each holder. For purposes of making any such reduction, each Stockholder and the
Permitted Transferees shall be deemed to be a single "holder" of Registrable
Stock, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "holder" shall be based
--- ----
upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Stock owned by all entities and
individuals included in such "holder," as defined in this sentence (and the
aggregate amount so allocated to such "holder" shall be allocated among the
entities and individuals included in such "holder" in such manner as such
Stockholder may reasonably determine.) If any holder of Registrable Stock
disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Corporation, the managing underwriter and the
Initiating Holders. The Registrable stock so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn
from registration. Only securities which are to be included in the underwriting
may be included in the registration.
(c) The Corporation shall not be required to prepare and file a
registration statement pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof (x) which would become
effective within 270 days following the effective date of a registration
statement (other than a registration statement filed on Form S-8) filed by the
Corporation with the Commission pertaining to an underwritten public offering of
securities for cash for the account of the Corporation or its other shareholders
or (y) if the Corporation in good faith gives written notice to the holders of
Registrable Stock that the Corporation has determined to prepare a Corporation-
initiated registration statement in which, on the terms and subject to the
conditions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 hereof, holders of Registrable Stock may
participate, and the Corporation is actively employing in good faith reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to he filed and thereafter to
become effective.
15
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation shall
furnish to Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive
officer of the Corporation stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board
of Directors of the Corporation it would be seriously detrimental to the
Corporation and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and
it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement,
then the Corporation shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to
such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request
of the Initiating Holders. Additionally, if such a registration statement is
currently in effect and if the corporation shall furnish to all Prospective
Sellers (as defined below) a certificate signed by the Chief Executive officer
of the Corporation stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation it would be seriously detrimental to the
Corporation and its stockholders for sales to continue under such registration
statement, then the Prospective Sellers shall cease to sell the Registrable
Stock for a period of up to 90 days following the date of the certificate of the
Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The Corporation may not utilize its
rights contained in this Section 2.3(d) to defer or stop an offering more than
once in any twelve month period.
Section 2.4 Incidental Registration.
-----------------------
(a) If the Corporation at any time proposes to register on a
firmly underwritten public offering basis any of its shares of Class A Common
Stock to be offered for cash for its own account pursuant thereto (other than a
registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof), it shall give written
notice (the "Corporation's Notice"), at its expense, to all holders of
Registrable Stock of its intention to do so at least 15 days prior to the filing
of a registration statement with respect to such registration with the
Commission. If any holder of Registrable Stock desires to dispose of all or part
of such stock, it may request registration thereof in connection with the
Corporation's registration by delivering to the Corporation, within ten days
after receipt of the Corporation's Notice, written notice of such request (the
"Holder's Notice") stating the number of shares of Registrable Stock to be
disposed. The Corporation shall use good faith reasonable efforts to cause all
shares of Class A Common stock specified in the Holder's Notice to be registered
under the Securities Act so as to permit the sale or other disposition by such
holder or holders of the shares so registered, subject however, to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.5 hereof.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 2.4, no person (as defined, for these purposes, in Rule 144 (a) (2) of
the Commission under the Securities Act) who then beneficially owns one percent
(it) or less of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (including the
Registrable Stock) may request that any of its shares of Registrable Stock be
included in any registration statement filed by the Corporation pursuant to this
Section 2.4 unless, in the opinion of counsel for such person, such person's
intended disposition of Registrable Stock could not be effected within 90 days
of the date of said opinion without registration of such shares under the
Securities Act (assuming, for this purpose, that if "current public information"
(as defined in Rule 144(c) of the Commission under the Securities Act) is
available with respect to the Corporation as of the date of such opinion, it
will remain so available for such 90-day period).
16
Section 2.5 Limitations on Incidental Registration.
--------------------------------------
(a) The Corporation shall have the right to limit the aggregate
size of the offering or the number of shares of to be included therein by
stockholders of the Registrable Stock corporation if requested to do so in good
faith by the managing underwriter or agent of the offering. Only securities
which are to be included in the underwriting may be included in the
registration.
(b) Whenever the number of shares of Registrable Stock which may
be registered pursuant to Section 2.4 is limited by the provisions of Section
2.5(a) hereof, the Corporation will include in such registration, (i) first, the
securities the Corporation proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the securities
requested to be sold pro rata among the holders of Registrable Stock and all
--- ----
other stockholders of the Corporation who have the contractual right to include
all or a portion of their Shares in the registration allocated on the basis of
the number of Shares owned by each such holder; provided, that, if, at level
--------
(ii) above, any such holder would thus be entitled to include more Shares than
such holder requested to be registered, the excess will be allocated among the
other requesting holders pro rata based upon the number of Shares owned by such
--- ----
holders of Registrable Stock and other stockholders. For purposes of making any
such reduction, each Stockholder and the Permitted Transferees shall be deemed
to be a single "holder" of Registrable Stock, and any pro rata reduction with
--- ----
respect to such "holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable
Stock owned by all entities and individuals included in such "holder," as
defined in this sentence (and the aggregate amount so allocated to such "holder"
shall be allocated among the entities and individuals included in such "holder"
in such manner as such Stockholder may reasonably determine.)
(c) The Corporation shall not grant any Person registration rights
which shall have priority over the registration rights granted to the
Stockholders by this Agreement, but may xxxxx xxxx passu rights to additional
---- -----
purchasers of the Corporation's securities.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article 2, the Corporation may decide, in its sole and absolute discretion, not
to proceed with or to discontinue any registration commenced or proposed to be
commenced under Section 2.4 hereof.

--------------------------
initiated by the holders of Registrable Stock pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.2 hereof which is proposed to be effected pursuant to a firm
commitment underwriting, the Corporation shall have the right to designate the
managing underwriter (which underwriter shall be acceptable to the Initiating
Holders), and all holders of Registrable Stock participating in the registration
shall sell their shares of- Registrable Stock only pursuant to such
underwriting.

a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document
incident to the offering, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state a
material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements
contained in any such document not misleading, or any violation by the
Corporation of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act
applicable to the Corporation, and shall reimburse such selling Stockholder (and
each person, if any, who controls such Selling Stockholder) for any legal and
any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the Corporation shall not be liable to the extent that any claim, loss,
damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement
or
19
omission based upon written information furnished to the Corporation by such
Selling Stockholder specifically for use in such document.
(b) Each Selling Stockholder shall indemnify the Corporation
and its officers and directors against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and
liabilities arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or
other document incident to the offering or any omission (or alleged omission) to
state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements
contained in any such document not misleading, and shall reimburse the
Corporation and its officers and directors for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, or defending any such

-------- -------

specifically for use in such document, In no event shall the liability of a
Selling Stockholder exceed the net amount received by such Selling Stockholder

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is
unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any claims, losses, damages,
expenses or liabilities referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such claims,
losses, damages, expenses or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Corporation, on the one hand, and the Selling
Stockholder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well
as any other relative equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Corporation, on the one hand, and of such Selling Stockholder, on the other
hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the

opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of the claims, losses, damages, expenses and
liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees
or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. The Corporation and Stockholders agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
2.9(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
--- ----
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred.
to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.9(c), no Selling
Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount
by which the net price at which the shares of Registrable Stock sold by such
selling Stockholder and distributed to the public or offered to the public
exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged commission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
