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

involving the distribution without consideration of Restricted Securities by the
Investor to any of its partners, or retired partners, or to the estate of any of

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: (i) an unqualified 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 (ii) a "no action" letter from the
Commission to the effect
-4-
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

delivered by the holder to the Company. Each certificate evidencing the
Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate

5. REGISTRATION.
------------
5.1 Requested Registration.
----------------------
(a) Requested Registration. In case the Company shall receive
----------------------
from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any
registration, qualification or compliance with respect to not less than twenty-
five percent (25%) of the outstanding shares of the Registrable Securities, or
any lesser number of shares if the anticipated aggregate offering price, before
underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed five million dollars
($5,000,000), 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, 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 twenty (20) days after receipt
of such written notice 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 May 31, 1999 or one
hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the Company's first
registered pubic offering of its stock;
-5-
(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 ninety (90) days of receipt of such request (other than a registration of
securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit
plan);
(D) During the period starting with the date of
filing of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days immediately
following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to
securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145
transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), 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 two (2) such
registrations pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), and such registrations have been
declared or ordered effective; or
(F) 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 of the Company it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for a registration
statement to be filed in the near future, 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 ninety (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 per twelve (12)
month period.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (F), 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), that 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 Initiating Holders, but subject to the Company's
reasonable approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1,
if the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders 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 requesting
-6-
registration 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; provided, however, that the number of shares of
-------- -------
Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration
shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first
entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. 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 one hundred (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, 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 one hundred eighty (180) days
after the effective date of such registration, or such other shorter period of
time as the underwriters may require.
5.2 Company Registration.
--------------------
(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time
----------------------
the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities, 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 twenty-five percent (25%) of all
shares to be
-7-
included in such offering; provided, however, that (x) any such limitation or
-------- -------
"cut-back" 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, and (y) notwithstanding clause (x), in no event shall any shares
being sold by a shareholder exercising a demand registration right similar to
that granted in Section 5.1 be excluded from such offering. The Company shall so
advise all Holders and other holders distributing their securities through such
underwriting, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities or other
securities that may be 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 to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.
If any Holder or 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 one hundred eighty (180) days
after the effective date of the registration statement relating 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 who in the aggregate hold not less
than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Registrable Securities 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 five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), 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 (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 5.3
in any twelve (12) month period. 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:
-8-
(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 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
ninety (90) days of receipt of such request (other than a registration of
securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit
plan);
(iii) during the period starting with the date of filing
of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days immediately following
the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of
the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction
or with respect to an employee benefit plan), 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 of the Company it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for registration
statements to be filed in the near future, 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 ninety (90) days from 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 per twelve (12) month
period.
5.4 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after
---------------------------------------------
the Closing Date, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any
holder, or prospective holder of any securities of the Company, registration
rights with respect to such securities without the written consent of the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, unless:
(i) such other registration rights are subordinate to the registration rights
granted to the Holders hereunder; and (ii) the holders of such rights are
subject to market standoff obligations no more favorable to such persons than
those contained herein.
5.5 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in
------------------------
connection with: (i) two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 5.1; (ii) all
registrations pursuant to Section 5.2; and (iii) all registrations pursuant to
Section 5.3, shall be borne by the Company. Unless otherwise stated, all Selling
Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be
borne by the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of
shares so registered.
5.6 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:
-9-
(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 occurs first;
(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 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 underwriters 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 light of the circumstances then existing;
and
(f) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable
Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are
being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold
through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect
to such securities become effective: (i) an opinion, dated as of 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 reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the
Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to
the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities; and (ii) a
"comfort" letter dated as of 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 and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the
Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to
the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
-10-

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

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

indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any underwriter, if a copy
of the Final Prospectus 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 the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect
giving rise to the loss, liability, claim or damage.

the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such
Holders, such directors, officers, partners, persons, underwriters or
controlling 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
5.7(b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the net proceeds of the shares
sold by such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section
5.7 (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 unreasonably be
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 Section 5.7 unless the failure to give such notice is
materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action,
in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligations under
this Section 5.7 to the extent of such prejudice, 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
with respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.7 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
herein, 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
-12-
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties'
relevant intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission; 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 of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by
such Holder 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.
5.8 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.
5.9 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
registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of
the Company, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times
after the effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act;
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements); and
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, to
furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: (i) a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144
(at any time after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to
the general public) and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); (ii) a copy of the
most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and (iii) 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 (at any time after the Company
has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act).
5.10 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
-------------------------------
Company to register securities granted to Investors under Sections 5.1, 5.2 and
5.3 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer
or assignment of Preferred Stock or Registrable Securities by the Investor
provided that: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with
-13-
applicable securities law; (ii) such assignee or transferee acquires at least
one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Stock
held by the assignor or transferor (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock
splits and the like) or such lesser number, if it constitutes all such shares
held by the assignor or transferor; (iii) written notice is promptly given to
the Company; and (iv) such transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to cause the Company
to register securities may be assigned to: (A) any affiliated partnership or
constituent partner or retired partner of an Investor which is a partnership;
(B) an officer, director or shareholder or a subsidiary, parent or affiliated
corporation of an Investor which is a corporation; or (C) a spouse, lineal
descendant or ancestor or trust for the benefit of an Investor who is an
individual, without compliance with item (ii) above, provided that written
--------
notice thereof is promptly given to the Company and the transferee agrees to be
bound by the provisions of this Agreement.
5.11 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights granted pursuant
----------------------------------
to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement shall terminate as to any Holder
upon the earliest of: (i) such time as such Holder can sell all of its
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities
Act; or (ii) five (5) years after the effective date of the Company's first
registered public offering of its stock (other than a registration of securities

adjusted for recapitalizations, stock splits and the like) (each such holder
referred to herein as a "QUALIFIED INVESTOR") the right to have a non-voting
representative attend all meetings of the Company's Board of Directors (the
"BOARD"), subject to the Company's right to request in good faith that such
representative excuse himself from executive sessions of the Board where a
conflict of interest might be present and from any Board meeting or any part
thereof if such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-
client privilege, and, upon request, to receive copies of all notices for and
materials distributed at such meetings, as well as any proposed written actions
by the Board concurrently with the distribution of such items to the Board.
7.2 The Company will afford to each Qualified Investor the right,

For purposes of this right of first offer, "PRO RATA SHARE" shall mean the ratio

Holder and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock then held by such Holder or the Preferred Stock issuable upon

the voting power of the surviving or successor corporation; (iv) up to 1,584,486
shares (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock splits and the like, and net of

directors of, and consultants to, the Company, pursuant to arrangements approved
by the Board of Directors of the Company; (v) stock issued pursuant to any
rights, agreements or convertible securities, including without limitation
options and warrants, provided that (x) such rights, agreements or convertible

initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights, agreements or convertible
securities; (vi) stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend
or other recapitalization by the Company; (vii) the issuance of stock or

which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Holder 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 of the Company and
stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
8.4 In the event all of the New Securities are not elected to be
purchased by the Holder pursuant to Section 8(c) above, the Company shall have

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 one hundred
and twenty (120) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any
New Securities without first offering such securities in the manner provided

Purchase Agreement), the Company shall not issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company or any option, warrant or right to acquire such shares
to any of its employees, officers, directors or consultants which vest on a

year of the holder's employment or services with the Company and the remaining
seventy-five percent (75%) vesting on a monthly basis over the following thirty-
six (36) months, with unvested shares repurchasable by the Company or its
assignee, at cost, upon termination of the holder's employment or services with
the Company for any reason. No shares of Common Stock or other securities of the

shall be transferable other than to the Company or the Holders prior to vesting,
and all such shares shall be subject to market standoff agreements at least as

initial public offering of the Company's securities. All such shares shall be

held by each.
10. TERMINATION OF COVENANTS. The covenants set forth in Sections 6, 7,
------------------------
8, 9 and 13 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the

as amended, whichever shall occur first.
11. STANDOFF AGREEMENT. In connection with the initial public offering of

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 and directors of the Company who own stock of, or hold options to
purchase stock of, the Company and all other persons who hold one percent (1%)
or more of the then outstanding 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.
12. DETERMINATION OF SHARE AMOUNTS AND PERCENTAGES. For the purpose of
----------------------------------------------
determining the minimum holdings set forth in this Agreement, including without
limitation the minimum holdings pursuant to Sections 5.10, 6(b), 7(a) and 15(b),
the following rules shall govern:
-17-
12.1 All shares held by entities affiliated with the holder shall be
deemed held by such holder, and any holder which is a partnership shall be
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, but which have not been resold by such partners.
12.2 When shares of Preferred Stock are counted together with shares
of Conversion Stock or shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock shall
be counted on an as converted into Common Stock basis, and the term "CONVERSION
STOCK" shall mean only the shares of Common Stock which have been issued
pursuant to conversion of Preferred Stock.

Series B Purchase Agreement, or a Series C Investor under the Series C Purchase
Agreement; (ii) sale or exclusive license, to any third party, of any
intellectual property material to the Company; or (iii) repurchase of its Common

that may be required by the Company's Bylaws and Restated Articles, also obtains
the approval of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Company who have been elected by the holders of Preferred Stock (either as a
single class or together with the holders of Common Stock).
14. YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES. The Company will use all commercially
-------------------------
reasonable efforts: (a) to assure that any software, hardware, or firmware
product, including, without limitation, embedded microcontrollers ("COMPUTER

and (b) to seek assurances that the Computer Systems of third parties on which
the Company's business is dependent or with which the Company has a significant
business relationship (including, without limitation, vendors, service
providers, landlords, and strategic relationship co-parties) are Year 2000
Compliant (and take appropriate action if any Computer Systems of such third
parties may not be Year 2000 Compliant), except to the extent that the failure

adverse affect on the Company or its business, financial condition or prospects.

applicable Computer System accurately processes date/time data, including, but
not limited to, recording, storing, calculating, functioning, operating,

instead of September 9, 1999) falling before, on, during and after (and, if
applicable, spans of time including) January 1, 2000. "YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT"
shall also mean that the applicable Computer System will process any information
depending on or relating to such dates without loss of functionality, data
integrity, or performance.
