registered pursuant to the Securities Act or which have been sold to the public
pursuant to Rule 144 of the Commission under the Securities Act. For purposes of
this Agreement, a Person will be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Shares
whenever such Person has the right to acquire such Registrable Shares, whether
or not such acquisition actually has been effected.
"SECURITIES ACT" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
similar federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time.
2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
2.1 PIGGY BACK REGISTRATIONS.
If at any time the Company shall determine to register for its own account
or the account of others under the Securities Act (including pursuant to an
Initial Public Offering or a demand for registration of any stockholder of the
Company any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or
their then equivalents relating to Common Stock to be issued solely in
connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or Common Stock
issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), it
shall send to each holder of Registrable Shares, including each holder who has
the right to acquire Registrable Shares, written notice of such determination
specifying the form and manner and the other relevant facts involved in such
proposed registration (including, without limitation, whether or not such
registration will be in connection with an underwritten offering of its Common
Stock and, if so, the identity of the managing underwriter and whether such
offering will be pursuant to a "best efforts" or "firm commitment" underwriting)
and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, such holder shall
so request in writing, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Shares such holder
requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of Common Stock to be issued by the Company, the
managing underwriter may impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be included in the registration statement because, in its
judgment, such limitation is necessary to effect an orderly public distribution,
then the Company shall promptly advise each such holder of Registrable Shares of
such advice and may require by written notice that, to the extent necessary to
meet such limitation, all holders of Registrable Shares proposing to sell Common
Stock in such public offering (after elimination of all shares to be included
therein held by any officer or director of the Company, in the case of a
registration initiated pursuant to Section 2.2), shall share PRO RATA in the
number of Registrable Shares to be excluded from such offering, such sharing to
be based on the respective numbers of Registrable Shares as to which
registration has been requested. No incidental right under this
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 2 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Section 2.1 shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section
2.2. The Company shall be required to effect no more than five (5) registrations
pursuant to this Section 2.1.
2.2 REQUIRED REGISTRATION.
If at any time, either or both of MSIT or Household shall notify the
Company in writing that it or they intend to offer or cause to be offered for
public sale at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Shares (or any lesser
percentage if the anticipated aggregate offering price before calculation of
underwriting discounts and commissions would exceed $2,000,000), the Company
will so notify all holders of Registrable Shares, including all holders who have
a right to acquire Registrable Shares. Upon written request of any holder given
within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by such holder from the Company of
such notification, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such of the
Registrable Shares as may be requested by any holder thereof (including the
holder or holders giving the initial notice of intent to offer) to be registered
under the Securities Act as expeditiously as possible. The Company shall not be
required to effect more than one registration for each of MSIT and Household
pursuant to this Section 2.2. Shares held by any officer or director of the
Company shall not be included in any such registration if the requesting
stockholder is unable to sell all of the Registrable Shares initially requested
for inclusion in such registration statement. If the Company determines to
include shares to be sold by it or by other selling shareholders in any
registration request pursuant to this Section 2.2, such registration shall be
deemed to have been a "piggy back" registration under Section 2.1, and not a
"demand" registration under this Section 2.2 if the holders of Registrable
Shares who requested the shares to be registered pursuant to this Section 2.2
are unable to include in any such registration statement eighty-five percent
(85%) of the Registrable Shares initially requested by such holders for
inclusion in such registration statement.
2.3 REGISTRATIONS ON FORM S-3.
In addition to the rights provided the holders of Registrable Shares in
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above, if the registration of Registrable Shares under the
Securities Act can be effected on Form S-3 (or any similar form promulgated by
the Commission), then, upon the written request of one or more holders of
Registrable Shares, the Company will so notify each holder of Registrable
Shares, including each holder who has a right to acquire Registrable Shares, and
then will, as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to effect
qualification and registration under the Securities Act on Form S-3 of all or
such portion of the Registrable Shares as the holder or holders shall specify;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to effect a
registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 unless the market value of the
Registrable Shares to be sold in any such registration shall be estimated to be
at least $1,000,000 at the time of filing such registration statement, and
PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to effect more
than five (5) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3.
2.4 EFFECTIVENESS.
The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness for
such time as the underwriters need to complete the distribution of the
registered offering (or one year in the case of a "shelf" registration statement
on Form S-3) of any registration statement pursuant to which any of the
Registrable Shares are being offered, and from time to time will amend or
supplement
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 3 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
such registration statement and the prospectus contained therein to the extent
necessary to comply with the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
statute or regulation. The Company will also provide each holder of Registrable
Shares with as many copies of the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained
in any such registration statement as it may reasonably request.
2.5 INDEMNIFICATION OF HOLDER OF REGISTRABLE SHARES.
(a) In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable
Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless
each holder, its officers, directors, managers, affiliates and partners and each
underwriter of the Registrable Shares (including their officers, directors,
managers, affiliates and partners) so registered (including any broker or dealer
through whom such shares may be sold) and each Person, if any, who controls such
holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them become subject under
the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or under any other statute
or at common law or otherwise, as incurred, and, except as hereinafter provided,
will reimburse each such holder, its officers, directors, managers, affiliates
and partners and each such underwriter and each such controlling Person, if any,
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them in
connection with investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting
in any liability, as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or
in the final prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from
time to time amended or supplemented by the Company) or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or any state securities laws
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with such registration, unless (i) such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such
registration statement, preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Company in connection therewith by such holder of Registrable
Shares (in the case of indemnification of such holder), any such underwriter (in
the case of indemnification of such underwriter) or any such controlling Person
(in the case of indemnification of such controlling person) expressly for use
therein, or unless (ii) in the case of a sale directly by such holder of
Registrable Shares (including a sale of such Registrable Shares through any
underwriter retained by such holder of Registrable Shares to engage in a
distribution solely on behalf of such holder of Registrable Shares), such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final or amended
prospectus, copies of which were delivered to such holder of Registrable Shares
or such underwriter on a timely basis, and such holder of Registrable Shares
failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior to the
confirmation for the sale of the Registrable Shares to the person asserting any
such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case where such delivery is
required by the Securities Act. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or
any such director, officer,
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 4 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of Registrable
Shares by such holder.
(b) Promptly after receipt by any holder of Registrable Shares, its
officers, directors, managers, affiliates and partners or any underwriter or any
controlling Person of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of
which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such holder of Registrable
Shares, its officers, directors, managers, affiliates and partners or such
underwriter or such controlling person, as the case may be, will notify the
Company in writing of the commencement thereof (provided that failure to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability it may have
hereunder) and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall
be entitled to assume the defense of such action (including the employment of
counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to such holder of
Registrable Shares, such underwriter or such controlling Person, as the case may
be), and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to any
alleged liability in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the
Company.
(c) Such holder of Registrable Shares, its officers, directors,
managers, affiliates and partners and any such underwriter or any such
controlling Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of
such counsel subsequent to any assumption of the defense by the Company shall
not be at the expense of the Company unless the employment of such counsel has
been specifically authorized in writing by the Company or counsel to the holder
of Registrable Shares, its officers, directors, managers, affiliates and
partners, the underwriter or any controlling Person has determined that defenses
not available to the Company exist for such party or the interests of such party
and the Company may be adverse. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any
Person for any settlement of any such action effected without the Company's
written consent. The Company shall not, except with the approval of each party
being indemnified under this Section 2.5, consent to the entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement provides solely
for the payment of damages, costs or expenses by the Company to any claimant or
plaintiff and includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or plaintiff to the parties being so indemnified of a release from all
liability with respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which any holder of
Registrable Shares exercising rights under this Section 2, or any controlling
person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 2.5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or
decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal
or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.5 provides
for indemnification in such case, then the Company and such holder of
Registrable Shares will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Shares on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
holder of Registrable Shares on the other shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 5 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
on the one hand or by the holder of Registrable Shares on the other; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, in any such case, (i) no such holder will be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price, less underwriters'
discounts and commissions (the "Net Proceeds"), of all such Registrable Shares
offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (ii) no person or
entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
2.6 INDEMNIFICATION OF COMPANY.
(a) In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable
Shares under the Securities Act, each holder of the Registrable Shares so
registered will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who have signed or otherwise participated in the
preparation of the registration statement, each underwriter of the Registrable
Shares so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom such of the
shares may be sold) and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any
of them may become subject under the Securities Act, applicable state securities
laws or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as
hereinafter provided, will reimburse the Company and each such director,
officer, underwriter or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them or any of them in connection with investigating or
defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended
preliminary prospectus or in the final prospectus (or in the registration
statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented) or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as any such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such holder of Registrable
Shares expressly for use therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such holder's
obligations hereunder shall be (i) limited to an amount equal to the Net
Proceeds received by such holder of Registrable Shares sold in such registration
and (ii) extinguished if the alleged misstatement or omission was contained in a
preliminary prospectus or amended preliminary prospectus and was corrected in
the final prospectus.
(b) Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any
action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such holder of
Registrable Shares, the Company will notify such holder of Registrable Shares in
writing of the commencement thereof (provided that failure to so notify such
holder shall not relieve such holder from any liability it may have hereunder),
and such holder of Registrable Shares shall, subject to the provisions
hereinafter stated, be entitled to assume the defense of such action (including
the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company) and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to the
alleged liability in respect of which indemnity
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 6 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
may be sought against such holder of Registrable Shares. The Company and each
such director, officer, underwriter or controlling Person shall have the right
to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel subsequent to any assumption
of the defense by such holder of Registrable Shares shall not be at the expense
of such holder of Registrable Shares unless employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized in writing by such holder of Registrable Shares. Such
holder of Registrable Shares shall not be liable to indemnify any Person for any
settlement of any such action effected without such holder's written consent.
(c) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which the Company exercising
its rights under this Section 2, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Section 2.6, but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final
judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding that this
Section 2.6 provides for indemnification, in such case, then, the Company and
such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Shares on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
holder of Registrable Shares on the other shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the holder of
Registrable Shares on the other; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in any such case, (i)
no such holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Net
Proceeds of the sale of all such Registrable Shares offered by it pursuant to
such registration statement; and (ii) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.
2.7 EXCHANGE ACT REGISTRATION.
If the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of either
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will use its best
efforts to timely file with the Commission such information as the Commission
may require under either of said Sections; and in such event, the Company shall
use its best efforts to take all action as may be required as a condition to the
availability of Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any successor
exemptive rule hereinafter in effect) with respect to its Common Stock. The
Company shall furnish to any holder of Registrable Shares forthwith upon request
(i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company as filed with the Commission, and (iii) such other reports
and documents as a holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule
or regulation of the Commission allowing a holder to sell any such Registrable
Shares without registration. After the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering,
the Company agrees to use its best efforts to facilitate and expedite transfers
of the Registrable Shares pursuant to
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 7 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which efforts shall include timely notice to
its transfer agent to expedite such transfers of Registrable Shares.
2.8 DAMAGES.
The Company recognizes and agrees that the holder of Registrable Shares
will not have an adequate remedy if the Company fails to comply with this
Section 2 and that damages may not be readily ascertainable, and the Company
expressly agrees that, in the event of such failure, it shall not oppose an
application by the holder of Registrable Shares or any other Person entitled to
the benefits of this Section 2 requiring specific performance of any and all
provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to commit any such
breach of this Section 2.
2.9 FURTHER OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
Whenever under the preceding Subsection of this Section 2 the Company is
required hereunder to register Registrable Shares, it agrees that it shall also
do the following:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission on any appropriate form a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Shares and use its best
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including

other securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of (i)
such time as all such Registrable Shares and other securities have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the holder or
holders thereof set forth in such registration statement and (ii) the expiration

conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, such documents
incorporated by reference in such registration statement or prospectus, and such
other documents, as such holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the sale or disposition of such Registrable Shares;
(d) Use best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares
covered by said registration statement under the applicable securities or "Blue
Sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any selling holder may reasonably request and
do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary to enable such holder
to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of its Registrable Shares
covered by such registration statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company
shall not be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdictions where it
is
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 8 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to the
service of process in suits other than those arising out of the offer or sale of
the securities covered by the registration statement in any jurisdiction where
it is not then so subject;
(e) Furnish to each selling holder a signed counterpart, addressed to
the selling holders, of

any prospectus thereto, and
(ii) "comfort" letters as well as an audit opinion and consent
to be named in the registration statement or any prospectus relating thereto

Certified Public Accountants, covering substantially the same matters with
respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and

subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as are customarily covered
in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' "comfort" letters delivered
to the underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities, to the
extent that the Company is required to deliver or cause the delivery of such
opinion or "comfort" letters to the underwriters in an underwritten public
offering of securities;
(f) Give the holders of Registrable Shares on whose behalf such
Registrable Shares are to be so registered and their underwriters, if any, and
their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the
preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or
filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and
will give each of them such access to its books and records, and will give them
the right to copy such books and records, and such opportunities to discuss the

who have issued a report on its financial statements as shall be necessary, in
the opinion of such holders and such underwriters or their respective counsel,
to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act;

holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earning statement covering the
period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning
with the first month after the effective date of the registration statement
covering an Initial Public Offering, which earning statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and
KANBAY INTERNATIONAL, INC. - 9 - SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
(j) Immediately notify each holder of Registrable Shares 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 any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing or if it is necessary to amend or supplement such prospectus to comply
with law, 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
purchasers of such Registrable Shares or 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing and shall otherwise
comply in all material respects with law and so that such prospectus, as amended

attributable to the Registrable Shares being offered and sold by the holders of
the Registrable Shares, or the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for

the Registrable Shares. The Company shall pay all expenses of the holders of the
Registrable Shares in connection with any registration initiated pursuant to
this Section 2 which is withdrawn, delayed or abandoned at the request of the
Company, except if such withdrawal, delay or abandonment is caused by the fraud,
material misstatement or omission of a material fact by a holder of Registrable
Shares to be included in such registration.
2.11 APPROVAL OF UNDERWRITER.
Any managing underwriter engaged in any registration made pursuant to
Section 2.2 shall be a nationally recognized firm requiring the approval in
writing of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requesting such

The rights to register securities granted by the Company under this Section
2 may be assigned by any holder of the Registrable Shares provided that such

and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, not to
sell, grant any option or right to buy or sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose
of in any manner, whether in privately-negotiated or open-market transactions,
any Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by it during the 10 day
period immediately preceding, and the 180-day period following, the effective
date of a registration statement filed pursuant to an Initial Public Offering,
provided that:
(i) Such agreement shall apply only to an Initial Public
Offering; and
(ii) All holders of 2% or more of the fully diluted equity, and
all officers and directors, of the Company shall also enter into similar
agreement.
Such "Lock-Up" Agreement shall be in writing and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company and such underwriter. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares subject to the foregoing
restrictions until the end of said period. No holder of Registrable Shares shall
be so restricted unless all holders are similarly and proportionately
restricted.
(b) LOCK-UP AFTER INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING.
Each holder of Registrable Shares agrees that in the event the Company
proposes to offer for sale to the public any of its equity securities after an
Initial Public Offering, and (1) if such holder of Registrable Shares is an
"affiliate" of the Company (for example, because a general partner of an
Investor is a director of the Company) or otherwise holds beneficially or of
record ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding equity securities of the
Company; and (2) if requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock
or other securities of the Company; and (3) if all other "affiliates" and such
10% stockholders similarly situated are requested by the Company and such
underwriter to sign, and actually do sign, any "Lock-Up Agreement" (as described
herein), then it will not sell, grant any option or right to buy or sell, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of in any manner, to the public in open market
transactions, any Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by it
during the 90-day period following the effective date of the registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. The Company agrees that
it will sign a "Lock-Up" Agreement upon substantially similar terms and
conditions in the event of a registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 or
2.3 hereof. Such "Lock-Up" Agreements shall be in writing and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the holder of Registrable Shares, the
Company and such underwriter and pursuant to customary and prevailing terms and
conditions.

2.14 MERGERS, ETC.
The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into any merger,
consolidation or reorganization in which the Company shall not be the surviving
entity unless the proposed surviving entity shall, prior to such merger,
consolidation or reorganization, agree in writing to assume the obligations of
the Company under Section 2 of this Agreement, and for that purpose references

require the Company to initiate any registration of any securities of the
Company unless such agreement contains terms and conditions that are identical
to this Agreement. Any right given by the Company pursuant to this section to
any holder or prospective holder of the Company's securities in connection with
the registration of securities shall be subordinate to the rights of any holder
under this Agreement. This Section 2 shall not limit the right of the Company to
enter into any agreements with any holder or prospective holder of any
securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder the right to
require the Company, upon any registration of any of its securities, to include,
among the securities which the Company is then registering, securities owned by
such holder if such rights are subordinate to the rights of a holder of
Registrable Shares.
