THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE
OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL OF THE HOLDER REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY
STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE
4
REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.
COPIES OF THE AGREEMENTS COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND
RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN
REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE
CORPORATION.

the Common Stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established
in this Agreement.
4. Notice of Proposed Transfer. The holder of each certificate
---------------------------
representing Restricted Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all
respects with the provisions of this Section 4. Prior to any proposed sale,
assignment, transfer or pledge of any Restricted Securities (other than (i) a

involving the distribution without consideration of Restricted Securities by the

to the estate of any of its partners, retired partners, members or retired
members, (iii) in transactions involving the transfer without consideration of
Restricted Securities by the Investor during his lifetime by way of gift or on
death by will or intestacy, (iv) in transactions involving the transfer or
distribution of Restricted Securities by a corporation to any Related Party, or
(v) in transactions in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act), unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities
Act covering the proposed transfer, the holder thereof shall give written notice
to the Company of such holder's intention to effect such transfer, sale,
assignment or pledge. Each such notice shall describe the manner and
circumstances of the proposed transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient
detail, and shall be accompanied, at such holder's expense by either (A) a
written opinion of legal counsel who shall be, and whose legal opinion shall be,
reasonably satisfactory to the Company addressed to the Company, to the effect
that the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, or (B) a "no action" letter from the
Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without
registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission
that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the
Company. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for
transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances. Each
certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided
shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the
appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 3 above, except that such
certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel
for such holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to
establish compliance with any provision of the Securities Act.

5. Registration Rights.
-------------------
5.1 Demand Registration.
-------------------
(a) Demand for Registration. In case the Company shall receive
-----------------------
from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company file a registration
statement on Form S-1 pursuant to the Securities Act covering the registration
of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding, or any lesser number of shares if the anticipated aggregate
offering price net of underwriting discounts and commissions would exceed Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000), the Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect
such registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation,
filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable
blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with
applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other
governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would
permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such
Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or
such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in
such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company
within 20 days after receipt of the notice described in clause (i) above from
the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take
any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant
to this Section 5.1:
(A) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company
would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Securities Act;
(B) prior to the earlier of June 30, 2001 or six months
after the effective date of the Company's first registered public offering of
its stock;
(C) if the Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt
of the request of the Initiating Holders, gives notice of its bona fide
intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission
within sixty (60) days of receipt of such request, in which case Holders shall
have the registration rights specified in Section 5.2 hereof subject to any
limitations set forth in such Section 5.2;
(D) during the period starting with the date of filing
of, and ending on the date 180 days immediately following the effective date of,
any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company, provided
that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective;
(E) after the Company has effected three such
registrations pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) and such registrations have been
declared effective;
6
provided, however, that if, in any such registration, as a result of limitations
-------- -------
imposed by the underwriters pursuant to Section 5.1(b) hereof, the Holders are
required to reduce the number of shares included in such registration below 75%
of the amount of Registrable Securities originally requested to be included in
such registration by the Holders participating in such registration, the Company
shall be obligated to effect an additional registration pursuant to this Section
5.1(a);
(F) within six (6) months after the Company has
effected a registration pursuant to this Section 5.1(a); or
(G) if the Company shall furnish to such Initiating
Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental
to the Company or its shareholders for a registration statement to be filed at
the date filing would be required, in which case the Company's obligation to use
its best efforts to register, qualify or comply under this Section 5.1 shall be
deferred for a period not to exceed 90 days from the date of receipt of written
request from the Initiating Holders, provided that the Company may not exercise
this deferral right more than once during any twelve (12) month period.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (G), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of
the Initiating Holders.
(b) Underwriting. In the event that a registration pursuant to
------------
Section 5.1 is for a public offering involving an underwriting, the Company
shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section
5.1(a)(i), and the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 5.1
shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting
arrangements, and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided
herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute
their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting
by a majority in interest of the Holders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting, but subject to the Company's reasonable
approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, if the
managing underwriter advises the Holders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so
advise all Holders of Registrable Securities, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to
the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the
time of filing the registration statement. No Registrable Securities excluded
from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation shall
be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in
accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round
the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of
the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice
to the Company,
7
the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities
and/or other securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration,
and such Registrable Securities shall not be transferred in a public
distribution prior to 180 days after the effective date of such registration, or
such other shorter period of time as the underwriters may require. If the
underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be
underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account (or for the
account of other shareholders) in such registration if the underwriter so agrees
and if the number of Registrable Securities that would otherwise have been
included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
5.2 Company Registration.
--------------------
(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time
----------------------
the Company shall determine (but without any obligation to do so) to register
any of its equity securities, including a registration pursuant to Section 5.1
hereof, either for its own account or for the account of a security holder or
holders, other than (A) a registration relating solely to employee benefit
plans, or (B) a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, the
Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof;
and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
or requests, made within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice
from the Company by any Holder.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives
------------
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting, and the inclusion of Registrable Securities
in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein.
All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing
their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting
by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, if the
managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the
Registrable Securities to be included in such registration (i) in the case of
the Company's initial public offering, to zero, and (ii) in the case of any
other offering, to an amount no less than 33-1/3% of all shares to be included
in such offering; provided however, that any such limitation or "cutback" shall
----------------
be first applied to all shares proposed to be sold in such offering other than
for the account of the Company which are not Registrable Securities. The
Company shall so advise all Holders and other holders distributing their
securities through such underwriting, and the number of shares of Registrable
Securities or other securities that may be
8
included in the registration and underwriting shall be first allocated among all
the Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts
of Registrable Securities held by such Holder at the time of filing the
Registration Statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance
with the above provisions, the Company may round the number of shares allocated
to any Holder or holder to the nearest 100 shares.
If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he
may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be
transferred in a public distribution prior to 180 days after the effective date
of the registration statement thereto, or such other shorter period of time as
the underwriters may require.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have
-------------------------------
the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 5.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
5.3 Registration on Form S-3.
------------------------
(a) If any Holder or Holders request that the Company file
a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a
public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities the reasonably
anticipated aggregate price to the public of which would equal or exceed Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000), and the Company is a registrant entitled to use
Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the
Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be
registered for the offering on such form and to cause such Registrable
Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as such Holder or Holders may
reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
effect more than two registrations pursuant to this Section 5.3 in any twelve
(12) month period. The Company shall, after its initial public offering, use
commercially reasonable efforts to become entitled to use Form S-3. The Company
shall inform other Holders of the proposed registration and offer them the
opportunity to participate. In the event the registration is proposed to be part
of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the substantive provisions of
Section 5.1(b) shall be applicable to each such registration initiated under
this Section 5.3.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.3:
(i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Securities Act;
(ii) if the Company, within ten (10) days of the
receipt of the request of the initiating Holders, gives notice of its bona fide
intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission
within sixty (60) days of receipt of such request;
9
(iii) during the period starting with the date of
filing of, and ending on the date 180 days immediately following the effective
date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company,
provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to such Holder or
Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental
to the Company or its shareholders for registration statements to be filed at
the date filing would be required, in which case the Company's obligation to use
its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a period
not to exceed 90 days from the receipt of the request to file such registration
by such Holder or Holders, provided that the Company may not exercise this
deferral right more than once during any twelve (12) month period.
5.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses
------------------------
incurred in connection with (i) two registrations pursuant to Section 5.1 and
two registrations pursuant to Section 5.3 and (ii) all registrations pursuant to
Section 5.2 shall be borne by the Company. Unless otherwise stated, all other
expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Section 5.3 of
this Agreement and all other Selling Expenses relating to securities registered
on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the Holders pro rata on the basis of
the number of shares so registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not be required to effect or to pay any Registration Expenses of any
registration begun pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.3, the request of which has
been subsequently withdrawn by Holders of a number of shares of Registrable
Securities such that there are no Holders of Registrable Securities intending to
participate in the registration sufficient to request such a registration, in
which case such expenses shall be borne by the Holders of securities (including
Registrable Securities) requesting or causing such withdrawal; provided further,
however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a
material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company
from that known to the Holders at the time of their request, then the Holders
shall not be required to pay any of such Registration Expenses and shall retain
their rights pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.3.
5.5 Registration Procedures. In the case of each
-----------------------
registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the
initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the
completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a
registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least
one hundred twenty (120) days or until the distribution described in the
registration statement has been completed, whichever first occurs; and
(b) Furnish to the Holders participating in such
registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such
reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as
10
such Holders and underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
public offering of such securities.
(c) Use its best efforts to register and qualify
the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions.
(d) In the event of any underwritten public
offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into
and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(e) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing, and at the request of any such Holder, prepare and furnish to
such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of
such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchaser of Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(f) Prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration
statement.
(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for
all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement
and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later
than the effective date of such registration.
(h) Furnish, at the request of any Holder
requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on
the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection
with a registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated such date,
of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration,
in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent
certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is
customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in
an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters.

5.6 Indemnification.
--- ---------------
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder of
Registrable Securities included in a registration pursuant to this Agreement,
each of its officers and directors and partners, and each person controlling
such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect
to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to
this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all
expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any
litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration,
qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under such
laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder,
each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such
Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter,
for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are
incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by any Holder, controlling person or underwriter and stated to be
specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity
agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such
untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in
a preliminary prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the
benefit of any underwriter, or any Holder, if there is no underwriter, if a copy
of the final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to its Rule 424(b)
was timely delivered to such underwriter, or to any Holder, if there is no
underwriter, and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability,
claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the
Securities Act, and if such final prospectus cured the untrue statement, alleged
untrue statement, omission of alleged omission giving rise to the loss,
liability, claim or damage.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by
such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration,
qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of
its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's
securities covered by such registration statement, each person who controls the
Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners
and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement
(or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any
omission (or
12
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, partners, persons,
underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably
incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be
specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of
each Holder under this Section 5.6(b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the
net proceeds of the shares sold by such Holder. In no event will any Holder be
required to enter into any agreement or undertaking for the benefit of the
Company in connection with any registration under this Section 5 providing for
any indemnification or contribution obligations on the part of such Holder
greater than such Holder's obligations under this Section 5.6 (b).
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Section 5.6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to
provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any
such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation,
shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to
give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to
defend such action, and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not
assume the defense for matters as to which representation of both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, but
shall instead in such event pay the fees and costs of separate counsel for the
Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
5.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim damage, or expense
referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or
expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information
13
supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
5.7 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of
---------------------
Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities
held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the
Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any
registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.
5.8 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available
------------------
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any
time permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without

the general public) and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and
documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or
reasonably obtainable by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in
availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Holder
to sell any such securities without registration.
5.9 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to
-------------------------------
cause the Company to register securities granted Investors under Sections 5.1,
5.2 and 5.3 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any

the like), (iii) written notice is promptly given to the Company, (iv) such
transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and (v) such
assignee or transferee is not a direct or indirect competitor of the Company.

securities may be assigned to (A) any affiliated partnership or constituent
partner or retired partner of an Investor which is a partnership or any
affiliated member or retired member of an Investor which is a limited liability

prior written consent of Holders holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the
Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective

prospective holder to (i) require the Company to effect a registration, prior to
the date set forth in Section 5.1 (a) (ii) (B) or (ii) include any securities in
any registration filed under Section 5.1 hereof, unless, under the terms of such
agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any
such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will
not diminish the amount of Registrable Securities which are included in such
registration and includes a market standoff agreement substantially in the form
of Section 11 hereof as a term.
5.11 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights

securities to the general public.

Investor"), the right of first refusal to purchase its Pro Rata Share (as
defined in this Section 9) of New Securities (as defined in this Section 9)
which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A "Pro Rata
Share," for purposes of this right of first refusal, is the ratio that (i) the

Preferred Stock then held by such Qualified Investor bears to (ii) the sum of
the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and the number of

(as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) beginning on the Initial
Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Covia Subsequent Closing does not
occur on or prior to November 30, 1999, then Covia shall no longer be considered
a `holder' or to hold such securities for purposes of this Section 9 after
November 30, 1999.
(b) Except as set forth below, "New Securities" shall
mean any shares of capital stock of the Company, including Common Stock and any
series of preferred stock, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or
warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, and
securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or
exchangeable for said shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. Notwithstanding

Company's Common Stock or related options, warrants or other rights to purchase
such Common Stock issued on or after inception of the Company to employees,
officers and directors of, and consultants to, the Company, pursuant to
arrangements approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (v) any
securities previously or subsequently issued pursuant to any rights, agreements,

of such rights, agreements, exchangeable securities or convertible securities,
(vi) any stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or
recapitalization by the Company, (vii) up to 250,000 shares of stock or related
warrants or other securities or rights, issued after the date of this Agreement,
to persons or entities with which the Company has business relationships,
including without limitation banks and equipment lessors, provided such
issuances are for other than primarily equity financing purposes and such
issuances have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors, (viii) the
Shares, the Warrant, the Option, the Option Warrant, and any Subsequent Shares
issued pursuant to the Series C Agreement (each as defined in the Series C
Agreement), (ix) any Exchange Warrant (as defined in that certain Amended and
Restated Shareholders Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between the
Company and the shareholders of the Company who are signatories thereto (the
"Restated Shareholders Agreement")) or the shares of Preferred Stock or Common
Stock issued or issuable upon exercise thereof or (x) the Shares, the Warrants
and the Conversion Shares (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(c) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an
issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Qualified Investor written notice
of its intention, describing the amount and type of New Securities, and the
price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each
Qualified Investor shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of any
such notice to agree to purchase up to its respective Pro Rata Share of such New
Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving
written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities
to be purchased. If any Qualified
17
Investor fails to agree to purchase its full Pro Rata Share within such twenty
(20) day period, the Company will give the Qualified Investor(s) who did so
agree (the "Electing Qualified Investor(s)") notice of the number of New
Securities which were not subscribed for. Such notice may be by telephone if
followed by written confirmation within two days. The Electing Qualified
Investor(s) shall have ten (10) days from the date of such second notice to
agree to purchase their Pro Rata Share of all or any part of the New Securities
not purchased by such other Qualified Investor(s). For the purpose of this
second election under this Section 9(c), shares held by Qualified Investor(s)
other than Electing Qualified Investor(s) shall be excluded from clause (ii) for
the definition of "Pro Rata Share" contained in Section 9(a).
(d) In the event all of the New Securities are not
elected to be purchased by the Qualified Investor(s), or any of them, within ten
(10) days after the second notice pursuant to Section 9(c) above, the Company
shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities not elected to
be purchased by the Qualified Investor(s) at the price and upon the terms no
more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified in the
Company's notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities
within said ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or
sell any New Securities without first offering such securities in the manner
provided above.
(e) The right of first refusal hereunder is not
assignable except by each of such Qualified Investor(s) to any party who
acquires at least 250,000 shares of the Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Stock
(appropriately adjusted for recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends and
the like).
10. Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in
------------------------
Sections 6, 7, 9, 12.1 and 12.3 shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect upon the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten public offering
with aggregate offering proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discounts
and commissions, of at least $15,000,000 or at such time as the Company is
required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as
amended, whichever shall occur first.
11. Standoff Agreement. In connection with the initial firm
------------------
commitment public offering of the Company's securities, each Investor and Holder
agrees, upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any
underwritten offering of the Company's securities, not to sell, make any short
sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any
securities of the Company (other than those included in the registration)
without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the
case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)
days) from the effective date of such registration, as may be requested by the
underwriters, provided that all officers, directors and shareholders of the
Company who own, or hold options exercisable for, an aggregate of at least one
percent (1%) of the capital stock of the Company also agree to such
restrictions. The Investors and Holders agree that the Company may instruct its
transfer agent to place stop-transfer notations in its records to enforce the
provisions of this Section 11.
18
12. Additional Covenants of the Company.
-----------------------------------
12.1 Reserved Employee Shares. The 12,491,190 shares of Common
------------------------
Stock currently reserved for management and employees under the Stock Plan (as
defined below), and any additional shares of Common Stock hereafter reserved for
management and employees under an amendment to the Stock Plan approved by the
Board of Directors and/or the shareholders of the Company, if necessary (the
"Employee Shares"), shall be issued from time to time pursuant to the 1996 Stock
Incentive Plan approved and adopted by the Board of Directors on July 2, 1996,
as amended (the "Stock Plan") or such other arrangements, contracts or plans as

Unless otherwise agreed to by a majority of the Directors who are not then

each option grant, one-eighth of such shares at the end of six (6) months of
service from the vesting commencement date (unless more favorable vesting terms
are required by law or regulatory agency) and one-forty-eighth of such shares on
a monthly basis thereafter. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors,
all officers, directors and employees of or consultants to, the Company
acquiring Employee Shares after the date of this Agreement other than pursuant
to an option will execute a stock restriction agreement with the Company under
which the Company will retain the right to repurchase the unvested shares, over
a four-year vesting period which shall lapse on terms no more favorable than,
for each stock grant, one-eighth of such shares at the end of six (6) months of
service from the vesting commencement date and one-forty-eighth of such shares
on a monthly basis thereafter, for the original purchase price in the event the
holder's employment with or service to the Company terminates for any reason.
Pursuant to the option agreement or restricted stock agreement, as the case may
be, the Company shall retain a right of first refusal with respect to all such
Employee Shares subject to such agreement (which right shall terminate and be of
no further force or effect upon the consummation of a firm commitment
underwritten public offering or at such time as the Company is required to file
reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whichever shall
first occur), and the holder shall agree to a market standoff provision
substantially identical to the market standoff provision contained in Section 11
hereof.

deemed to hold any shares of Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Stock originally
purchased by such holder and subsequently distributed to partners of such
holder, which have not been resold by such partners.
19
(b) When shares of Preferred Stock are counted together with
shares of Conversion Stock or shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock

issued pursuant to conversion of Preferred Stock.
