(c) Any Shareholder making a Transfer shall promptly notify the

of the name of each transferee and the date of such Transfer.
2.2. Restrictions on Transfer - All Shareholders. Each
Shareholder agrees that such Shareholder shall not Transfer any Securities owned
by such Shareholder prior to the first anniversary of the Series A-1 Closing.
2.3. Restrictions on Transfer - Principal Shareholders. In
addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2, each Principal
Shareholder agrees that during the term of his employment by the Company such
Principal Shareholder shall not Transfer Securities owned by such Principal
Shareholder as follows:
(a) from and after the first anniversary of the Series A-1
Closing to but not including the second anniversary of the Series A-1 Closing,

of the Securities owned by such Principal Shareholder;
(b) in addition to any Securities that such Principal Shareholder

Closing, from and after the second anniversary of the Series A-1 Closing to but
not including the third anniversary of the Series A-1 Closing, each Principal

third anniversary of the Series A-1 Closing, the Principal Shareholders may

2.4. Right of First Refusal.
(a) During the term of each Principal Shareholder's employment by
the Company and for a period of two years following the termination of such
Principal Shareholder's employment with the Company, for any reason or without
reason, each Principal Shareholder (the "Transferring Shareholder") shall give
the Company and the Pequot Shareholders notice of the terms of any proposed bona
fide sale of Offered Securities, including (i) the number of shares that are
proposed to be Transferred, (ii) the anticipated date of the proposed Transfer,
(iii) the name and
4
address of each Person to whom the Transfer is proposed to be made and (iv) the
material terms of the proposed Transfer, including the cash and/or other
consideration to be received in respect of such Transfer, at least twenty (20)
days prior to any proposed Transfer (a "Transfer Notice"); provided, however,
that in connection in connection with a Transfer pursuant to a Public Sale, the
Transferring Shareholder shall deliver the Transfer Notice to the Company and
each Pequot Shareholder at least three (3) business days, or any other time
period as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, prior to any such
proposed Transfer. Any such Transfer Notice shall be deemed an irrevocable bona
fide third party offer to sell such shares to the Pequot Shareholders on such
terms as set forth in such Transfer Notice and shall be deemed a representation
by the Transferring Shareholder that the Transfer is a bone fide transaction.
(b) The Pequot Shareholders shall have a period of (i) in
connection with a Transfer pursuant to a Public Sale, five (5) business days and
(ii) in connection with any other Transfer, ten (10) business days, from the
receipt of the Transfer Notice from the Transferring Shareholder within which to
elect to purchase their respective pro rata shares of the Offered Securities at
the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as
described in the Transfer Notice. Each Pequot Shareholder may exercise such
purchase option, and thereby purchase all or any portion of its pro rata share
of the Offered Securities, by notifying the Transferring Shareholder in writing,
before the expiration of such five (5) or ten (10) business day period, as the
case may be, as to the number of such shares that it wishes to purchase. For the
purpose of the preceding sentence, each Pequot Shareholder's pro rata share
shall be a fraction of the Offered Securities, the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) owned by such Pequot Shareholder on
the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) held by all Pequot Shareholders on the
date of the Transfer Notice. Each Pequot Shareholder shall have a right of
reallotment such that, if any other Pequot Shareholder fails to exercise the
right to purchase its full pro rata share of the Offered Securities, the other
participating Pequot Shareholders may exercise an additional right to purchase,
on a pro rata basis, the Offered Securities not previously purchased. If a
Pequot Shareholder gives the Transferring Shareholder notice that it desires to
purchase its pro rata share of the Offered Securities and, as the case may be,
its allotment, then payment for the Offered Securities shall be in cash, by
check or wire transfer or in such other consideration as set forth in the
Transfer Notice, against delivery of the Offered Securities to be purchased at a
place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing
therefor.
(c) If all the Offered Securities are not so purchased, and
subject to the right of co-sale set forth in Section 2.5 herein below, the
Transferring Shareholder shall be free for a period of sixty (60) days after
expiration of the time periods referred to above to consummate the proposed
transaction upon terms not less favorable to the Transferring Shareholder than
those set forth in the Transfer Notice with respect to any Offered Securities
not sold to any Pequot Shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.4. Promptly upon
the consummation of any such transaction, the Transferring Shareholder shall
confirm in writing to the Company and the Pequot Shareholders the terms of the
transaction as so consummated, including the number of shares involved, the
consideration received, and the name of the party to whom the Transfer was made.
After the expiration of said sixty (60) day sale period, subject to the time
period set forth in Section 2.4(a), if such Transferring
5
Shareholder again wishes to Transfer any shares of Securities, such Transferring
Shareholder shall again offer the shares in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 2.4.
(d) Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be
payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Pequot
Shareholders shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash
equal in amount to the value of such property. If the Transferring Shareholder
and the Pequot Shareholders cannot agree on such cash value within five (5) or
ten (10) business days, as the case may be, after the receipt of the Transfer
Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing
selected by the Pequot Shareholders and the Transferring Shareholder. The cost
of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Pequot Shareholders and the
Transferring Shareholder (with the half of the cost borne by the Pequot
Shareholders borne pro rata by each based on the number of shares each such
Pequot Shareholder was interested in purchasing pursuant to this Section).
2.5. Co-Sale Rights. Except in connection with a Transfer
pursuant to a Public Sale, during the term of each Principal Shareholder's
employment by the Company and for a period of two years following the
termination of such Principal Shareholder's employment with the Company, for any
reason or without reason, at least ten (10) days prior to any proposed Transfer
by a Principal Shareholder, such Principal Shareholder shall give a Transfer
Notice to the Pequot Shareholders (which Transfer Notice may be the same
Transfer Notice as that described in Section 2.4 above). Upon receipt of a
Transfer Notice, if the Pequot Shareholders have not exercised to the full
extent their rights of first refusal pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, such Pequot
Shareholders may elect to participate in the proposed Transfer by delivering
written notice to the Transferring Shareholder within ten (10) business days of
the date of receipt of such Transfer Notice. The Pequot Shareholders shall have
the right to sell to the proposed transferee(s), as a condition to such Transfer
by the Transferring Shareholder(s), at the same price per share of Securities
and on the same terms and conditions as are specified in the Transfer Notice,
the lesser of (x) two shares (on an as converted basis including shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) for every one
share owned by the Principal Shareholders or (y) that number of Securities equal
to the Offered Securities (on an as converted basis including shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) owned by the Pequot
Shareholders, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Pequot
Securities and the denominator of which is the number of Securities (on an as
converted basis including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock). The Transferring Shareholder will be entitled to sell
in the proposed Transfer the balance of the Offered Securities proposed to be so
sold. If the Pequot Shareholders elect to participate in such Transfer, the
Transferring Shareholder shall use his, her or its best efforts to obtain the
agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the Pequot
Shareholders in any proposed Transfer and shall not Transfer any shares of the
capital stock of the Company to such prospective transferee(s) unless such
prospective transferee(s) allow(s) the participation of the Pequot Shareholders
on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Subject to the foregoing, the
Transferring Shareholder(s) may, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of
the ten (10) business day period referred to above, Transfer the Offered
Securities (reduced by the number of shares of Securities with respect to which
the Pequot Shareholders have elected to participate, if any) to the
transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice at a price and on the terms no
more favorable to the Transferring Shareholder(s) than specified in the Transfer
Notice; provided, that, prior to any Transfer such transferee(s) shall first
execute and deliver to the Company a written agreement to be bound by all of the
provisions of this Agreement
6
applicable to the transferor(s). However, if such Transfer is not consummated
within such sixty (60) day period, the Transferring Shareholder(s) shall not
Transfer any shares of the Offered Securities as have not been purchased within
such period without again complying with all of the provisions of Sections 2.4
and 2.5 hereof. Any attempt by a Transferring Shareholder to Transfer shares of
Securities in violation of Section 2.4 or 2.5 hereof shall be void and the
Company agrees that it will not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any
alleged transferee as the holder of such shares of Securities without the
consent of the Pequot Shareholders.
2.6. Termination of Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Rights.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2 to the contrary, the rights
granted to the Pequot Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.4 and 2.5 shall
terminate on the earlier of (x) the date that the Pequot Shareholders own less
than 10% of the Pequot Shares and (y) the date that the Principal Shareholders
own less than 10% of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such
Principal Shareholders on the date hereof.
