Reorganization, dated as of November 24, 1999, as amended (the "Merger

1. By executing this Joinder Agreement, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, (a) you will become a party to the Existing
Registration Rights Agreement as a holder of "Apex Restricted Stock" (as defined
below), (b) the Common Stock received by you pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
including the Buyer Shares, Holdback Shares, and Additional Buyer Shares (each
as defined in the Merger Agreement) received by you thereunder (the "Apex
Restricted Stock") shall be treated as "Restricted Stock" as that term is used
in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement for all purposes thereof, and (c)
you will be entitled to all of the benefits of and subject to all of the
obligations of a holder of "Restricted Stock" under the Existing Registration
Rights Agreement as if you had been an original party thereto.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 1
above, the Company and each of the Apex Stockholders acknowledge and agree that
neither the Apex Stockholders nor the Apex Restricted Stock are subject to,
limited by, or entitled to the benefits under, the Stockholders' Agreement
referred to in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement (the "Stockholders'
Agreement"). Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the
Company acknowledges and agrees that the registration of shares of Apex
Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 4, 5 or 6 of the Existing Registration
Rights Agreement is not subject to the transfer restrictions and other
provisions of Section 2 of the Stockholders' Agreement.
2
3. For purposes of Section 4 of the Existing Registration
Rights Agreement, it is understood that in measuring the 25% threshold, all
shares of Restricted Stock currently outstanding and subject to the Existing
Registration Rights Agreement (including the Preferred Stock as provided
therein) and all shares of Apex Restricted Stock shall be taken into account.
4. For purposes of Section 5 of the Existing Registration
Rights Agreement, the following Apex Stockholders shall be treated as
"Institutional Investors": Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx Media Partners, L.P., Mellon Ventures,
Inc., and Spectrum Equity Investors, L.P.
5. The Company represents and warrants to the undersigned as
follows:
(a) The Company has full corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Joinder Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder. This Joinder Agreement constitutes the valid and
legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its
terms and conditions, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors'
rights generally. The Company does not need to give any notice to, make any
filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any other
party in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Joinder
Agreement other than such notices, filings, authorizations, consents and
approvals as have been obtained.
(b) Neither the execution and the delivery of
this Joinder Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, (i) violate any injunction, judgment, order, decree,
ruling, charge, or other restriction of any governmental authority to which the
Company is subject or any provision of its charter or bylaws or (ii) other than
such notices, filings, authorizations, consents and approvals as have been
obtained and after giving effect to them, violate, result in a breach of,
constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party
the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice
under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its
assets is subject.
6. Consistent with the Lock-Up Agreement that you will be
required to execute in connection with the Company's "initial public offering"
(which Lock-Up Agreement will contain terms no less favorable to you than the
terms of the lock-up agreements signed by the other holders of the Company's
common stock in connection with the Company's "initial public offering"), your
incidental registration rights under Section 6 of the Existing Registration
Rights Agreement may not be exercised in connection with the Company's "initial
public offering" or at any time during the lock-up period.
7. Notices, requests, consents and other communications mailed
pursuant to Section 13(c) of the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, if
mailed to the Apex Stockholders, shall be mailed to them at
