IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement,

purposes of Section 1.2.
1.2 Sale of the Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
-----------------
Company will issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor will purchase from

offices of LaSalle National Bank, 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx
00000, on July 30, 1999, or at such other time and place upon which the Company
and Investor shall agree (which time and place shall be referred to as the

(b) On the date of the Closing (the "Closing Date"), subject to
the conditions stated herein, the Company will deliver to Investor stock
certificates representing the Shares to be purchased by Investor against payment

SECTION II
Representations and Warranties of the Company
---------------------------------------------
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that:
2.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualifications. The Company has
----------------------------------------------
been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has full corporate
power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as
currently conducted, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good
standing in all jurisdictions in which the character of the property owned or
leased or the nature of the business transacted by it makes qualification
necessary except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material
adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition or results of
operations of the Company (a "Material Adverse Effect").
2.2 Valid Issuance, Authority. The Shares, when issued and sold to the
-------------------------
Investor as provided herein, and the Class B Common Stock of the Company (the
"Class B Common Stock") issuable upon conversion of the Shares and the Common
Stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") issuable upon conversion of the Class
B Common Stock when issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and the Certificate of Designation will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Company and, no other proceedings are necessary to
authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by
(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general
application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights
generally, and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of
equitable remedies. The sale of the Shares and the subsequent conversion of the
Shares into Class B Common Stock or Common Stock are not and will not be subject
to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or rights of participation
that have not been properly waived or complied with.
2.3 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
-----------
Company does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with
or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation under
(i) any provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the
Certificate of Designation and Bylaws of the Company, (ii) any mortgage,
indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession,
franchise or license to which the Company or any of its properties or assets are
subject, or (iii) any judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company or its properties or assets, except in the
case of (ii) and (iii) for any of the foregoing that in the aggregate would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.

commitments or agreements of any character, written or oral, to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound obligating the Company to issue,
deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold,
repurchased or redeemed, any shares of the capital stock of the Company.
2.5 Intellectual Property. To the knowledge of the Company, the
---------------------
Company owns and possesses or is licensed under all patents, patent
applications, licenses, trademarks, trade secrets, trade names, brand names,
inventions and copyrights or other proprietary rights ("Intellectual Property")
employed in the operation of its business as currently conducted, and, to the
knowledge of the Company, with no infringement of or conflict with the rights of
others respecting any of the same. The Company has not received any
communications alleging that the Company has violated any of the Intellectual
Property of any other person or entity. Reasonable security measures have been
taken by the Company to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of the
Company's trade secrets, including know-how, technology, concepts and other
technical data for the development, processing, manufacture and sale of its
products. Each employee of and consultant to the Company has executed an
invention assignment and confidentiality agreement with the Company.
-3-

----------
information that Investor has requested for deciding whether to purchase the
Shares. Neither this Agreement, nor any other statements or certificates made or
delivered in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein
not misleading.
2.7 Registration Rights. Except for the registration rights granted
-------------------

the Company, Investor, and certain other investors (the "Stockholders
Agreement"), there are no other stockholders of the Company that have been
granted registration rights, including piggyback rights, and the Company has not
agreed to grant any registration rights, to any person or entity.

-------------
quarterly and other report, registration statement and definitive proxy
statement required to be filed (other than preliminary material) by the Company
with the SEC since January 1, 1999 (the "SEC Documents"). As of their respective
filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as the case may be, and
none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading, except to the extent corrected by any subsequently
filed SEC Documents.
2.9 Investment Company. The Company is not an "investment company"
------------------
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
SECTION III
Representations and Warranties of the Investor
----------------------------------------------
The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
3.1 Investment Representations and Covenants. Investor represents that
----------------------------------------
the Shares to be received will be acquired for investment for its own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of
any part thereof, and that it has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in or otherwise distributing the same.
(a) Investor understands and acknowledges that the offering of the
Shares pursuant to this Agreement will not, and any issuance of Class B Common
Stock or Common Stock on conversion thereof will not, be registered under the
Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and
the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act, and that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated
in part on the Investor's representations set forth herein.
(b) Investor represents that it is experienced in evaluating
companies such as the Company, is able to fend for itself in transactions such
as the one contemplated by this
-4-
Agreement, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective
investment in the Company and is able to afford a complete loss of its
investment. The Company acknowledges that the foregoing representation shall not
limit the right of the Investors to rely on the representations of the Company
set forth in Section 2 hereof.
(c) Investor acknowledges and understands that the Shares and any
Class B Common Stock and Common Stock acquired upon the conversion thereof, must
be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, and that,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company is under no
obligation to register either the Shares or Class B Common Stock and Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof.
(d) Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of
securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions. Investor understands that before the Shares, or any Class B
Common Stock and Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, may be sold under
Rule 144, the following conditions must be fulfilled, except as otherwise
described below: (i) certain public information about the Company must be
available; (ii) the sale must occur at least one year after the later of the
date the Shares were sold by the Company or the date they were sold by an
affiliate of the Company; (iii) the sale must be made in a broker's transaction;
and (iv) the number of Shares sold must not exceed certain volume limitations.
(e) Investor acknowledges that in the event the applicable
requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or
compliance with another exemption from registration will be required for any
disposition of its stock. Investor understands that although Rule 144 is not
exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that
persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering
other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who
participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
(f) Investor covenants that, in the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the stock in question, it will sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the Shares and any Class B Common Stock and Common Stock
issued on conversion thereof only in a manner consistent with its
representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement. In connection
therewith such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company shall make a notation on
its stock books regarding the restrictions on transfer set forth in this
Agreement and shall transfer shares on the books of the Company only to the
extent not inconsistent therewith.
(g) Investor represents that it is an "accredited investor" as
such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(h) Each certificate or instrument representing Shares or any
Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof shall bear legends in substantially
the following form:
-5-
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER THE 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 OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION.
The Company need not register a transfer of any Shares of any Common
Stock issued upon conversion thereof unless the conditions specified in the
foregoing legends are satisfied to the extent applicable.
3.2 Authority. Investor has all requisite right, power and authority
---------
to enter into this Agreement, to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
All partnership action on the part of Investor and its partners necessary for
(i) the execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by, this Agreement, and (ii) as of the Closing, the performance of
all obligations of Investor under this Agreement, has been taken and, no other
proceedings are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Investor and constitutes legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors rights generally, and (ii) the effect of rules of law
governing the availability of equitable remedies.
3.3 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
-----------
Investor do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with
or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation under
(i) any provision of the organizational documents of the Investor, (ii) any
mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument, permit,
concession, franchise or license to which the Investor or any of its properties
or assets are subject, or (iii) any judgment, order, decree, statute, law,
ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Investor or its properties or
assets, except in the case of (ii) and (iii) for any of the foregoing that in
the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on Investor.

who holds such Registrable Securities.
(b) "Initiating Holder or Holders" shall mean any Holder or
Holders requesting registration of its Shares pursuant to Section 4.2.

their intention to offering Registrable Securities.
(d) "Registrable Securities" shall mean (i) any and all shares of
Common Stock of the Company issued in exchange for the Shares issued pursuant to
this Agreement or issued or issuable in exchange for the Class B Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Shares, (ii) stock issued or issuable in respect

disbursements of counsel for the Company, fees and expenses of one counsel for
all the Holders in an amount not to exceed $20,000, blue sky fees and expenses

(f) "Selling Expenses" shall mean all underwriting discounts and
selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and all

4.2 Requested Registration.
----------------------
-7-
(a) At any time after nine months from the Closing Date, in case
the Company shall receive from an Initiating Holder a written request that the
Company effect any registration with respect to all, and not less than all, of
the Registrable Securities, the Company shall:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration
to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable use its best efforts to register
(including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file
post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky
or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with federal
government requirements) the sale and distribution of the Registrable Securities
as specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the
Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders as are specified in a
written request given within ten (10) business days after receipt of such
written notice from the Company; provided that the Company shall not be
obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration
pursuant to this Section 4.2:
(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 or applicable rules or regulations thereunder; or
(B) After the Company has effected one (1) such
registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 and such registration has been
declared or ordered effective and the sales of such Registrable Securities shall
have closed.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as is practicable after receipt of the request or requests of
the Initiating Holder(s); provided, however, that if the Company shall furnish
to such Holder(s) a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating
that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be
detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore appropriate to defer the filing of such
registration statement, provided that during such time the Company shall be
permitted to defer for not more than ninety (90) days the filing of such
registration statement; provided that the Company may not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
(b) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holder intends to distribute the
------------
Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it
shall so advise the Company as part of its request made pursuant to this Section
4.2. In such event, the Company shall include such information in the written
notice referred to in Subsection 4.2(a)(i). In such event, if so requested in
writing by the Company, the Initiating Holder shall negotiate with an
underwriter selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Investor
with regard to the underwriting of such requested registration; provided,
however, that if the Initiating Holder has not agreed with such underwriter as
to the terms and conditions of such underwriting within twenty (20) days
following commencement of such negotiations, the Initiating Holder may select an
underwriter of its choice reasonably acceptable to the Company. The right of any
Holder to registration pursuant to
-8-
this Section 4.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. In the event an underwriter is used,
the Company shall (together with the Holders proposing to distribute their
Registrable Securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for
such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.2, if
the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holder in writing that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten (an
"Underwriter's Cutback"), the Company shall so advise all Holders, and the
number of shares of Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock of other
participating security holders ("Other Holders") that may be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders and such
Other Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock held by such
Holders and Other Holders. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, he or she may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the
Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holder. If, by the
withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater number of Registrable
Securities and shares of Common Stock held by non-withdrawing Holders and Other
Holders, respectively, may be included in such registration (up to the limit
imposed by the underwriters) the Company shall offer to all such Holders and
Other Holders who have included Registrable Securities and shares of Common
Stock, respectively, in the registration the right to include additional
Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock in the same proportion used in
determining the limitation as set forth above. Any Registrable Securities or
shares of Common Stock which are excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
underwriter's marketing limitation or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from such registration, except to the extent otherwise permitted or
allowed under existing registration rights agreements.
4.3 Piggyback Registration.
----------------------
(a) If at any time or from time to time, the Company shall
determine to register any of its securities, for its own account or the account
of any of its shareholders, other than a registration relating solely to the
stock option plans and the employee stock purchase plans or an acquisition on
Form S-4 or a registration on any form (other than Form X-0, X-0 or S-3, or
their successor forms) which does not include substantially the same information
as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the
sale of Registrable Securities, the Company will:
(i) give to each Holder written notice thereof as soon as
practicable prior to filing the registration statement; and
(ii) include in any such registration and in any underwriting
involved therein, all Registrable Securities specified in a written request or
requests, made within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from
the Company, by any Holder or Holders, except as set forth in Subsection (b)
below.
(b) If the registration 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 Subsection 4.2(a)(i). In such event the
right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this
-9-
Section 4.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting 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 underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 4.3, 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 number of Registrable
Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting on a pro rata
basis to not less than 25% of the registration. In such event, the Company shall
so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be
registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated among the Holders and any Other Holders in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities and
shares of Common Stock held by each of the Holder and Other Holders,
respectively, seeking to register shares under this Section 4.3. 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. If, by
withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater number of Registrable
Securities and shares of Common Stock held by Holders and Other Holders,
respectively, may be included in such registration (up to the limit imposed by
the underwriters) the Company shall offer to all such Holders and Other Holders
who have included Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock,
respectively, in the registration the right to include additional Registrable
Securities and shares of Common Stock in the same proportion used in determining
the limitation as set forth above. Any Registrable Securities and shares of
Common Stock excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn
from such registration, except to the extent otherwise permitted or allowed
under existing registration rights agreements.
4.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in
------------------------
connection with any registration, qualification of compliance pursuant to this
Section 4 shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses shall be borne
by the Holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the
number of their shares so registered; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to pay any Registration Expenses if, as a result of the
withdrawal of a request for registration by any of the Holders, as applicable,
the registration statement does not become effective, in which case each of the
Holders and Other Holders requesting registration shall bear such Registration
Expenses pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so included in the
registration request, unless such withdrawal is based on material adverse
information or developments regarding the Company not known to the Holder at the
time the registration was requested.
4.5 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected
-----------------------
by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder
participating therein advised in writing as to the initiation of each
registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:
-10-
(a) keep such registration pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 effective
for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or until the Holder or Holders
have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating
thereto, whichever first occurs; provided that if the Company is a registrant
entitled to use Form S-3 and the Initiating Holder requests pursuant to Section
4.2 that the registration be effected in such manner that the Registrable
Securities may be offered on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
of the Securities Act, the Company shall keep such registration effective until
the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the
registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act; and to keep such registration statement effective for that period of time
specified in Section 4.5(a)(i); and
(c) furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents
incident thereto as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request.
4.6 Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Company will indemnify each of the Holders, as applicable,
each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling each
of the Holders, with respect to each registration which has been effected
pursuant to this Section 4, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who
controls any underwriter, against all 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 prospectus,
offering circular or other document (including any related registration
statement, notification or the like) 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 or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company
and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with
any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each of
the Holders, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person
controlling each of the Holders, each such underwriter and each person who
controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating and 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 based upon written
information furnished to the Company by the Holders or underwriter and stated to
be specifically for use therein.
(b) Each of the Holders will, if Registrable Securities held by it
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 and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by
such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, each Other Holder and each of their officers, directors,
and partners, and each person
-11-
controlling such Other Holder against all 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
made by such Holder, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
by such Holder therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such
Other Holders, directors, officers, partners, persons, underwriters or control
persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating 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 such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein;
provided, however, that the obligations of each of the Holders hereunder shall
be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds such Holder of securities sold as
contemplated herein.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.6
(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 with counsel which 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
(unless the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
in such action, in which case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party), 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 4 unless the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. Each Indemnified Party
shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably
required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting
therefrom.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.6 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
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 which 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 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.
-12-
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with any underwritten public offering
contemplated by this Agreement are in conflict with the foregoing provisions,
the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall be controlling.
(f) The foregoing indemnity agreement of the Company and the
Holders is subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any loss,
claim, liability or damage made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or
remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the
registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Commission Rule 424(b) (the "Final
Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any
underwriter if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the 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.
4.7 Information by the Holders. Each of the Holders and each Other
-----------
Holder holding securities included in any registration shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding such Holder or Other Holder and the
distribution proposed by such Holder or Other Holder as the Company may
reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection
with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section
4.
4.8 Transfer of Registration Rights.
-------------------------------
The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted Holders
under Sections 4.2 or 4.3 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in
connection with the transfer or assignment of at least 100 shares of Registrable
Securities (as appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, consolidations or
the like), provided that (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in
accordance with applicable securities laws, and (ii) the Company is given
reasonably promptly written notice of such assignment.
4.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits
------------------
of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of
the restricted securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees
to:
(a) use its best efforts to 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; and
(b) so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish
to the Holder upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its
compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of
the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed 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.
4.10 Termination
-----------
-13-
If Holder has not made a request for registration or Holder's piggyback
rights have not come into effect within three years after the Closing Date
pursuant to this Section 4, the Company agrees that it will effect a
registration with respect to all Registrable Securities subject to the
provisions of this Section 4, provided that the registration rights in this
Section 4 shall terminate as to any Holder at such time as such Holder may sell
all Registrable Securities held by such Holder in a three month period under
Rule 144 (without giving effect to Rule 144(k)).

---------
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCE AND RIGHTS OF SERIES B PREFERRED
STOCK OF IA CORPORATION I
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCE AND RIGHTS OF SERIES B
PREFERRED STOCK OF IA CORPORATION I
We, Xxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, being the President and the
Secretary, respectively, of IA Corporation I, a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of Delaware (the "Corporation"), DO HEREBY CERTIFY that,
pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Section 151 of the Corporation Law of
Delaware, the Board of Directors, at a meeting duly called and held on July 29,
1999, adopted the following resolution providing for the issuance of a series of
Preferred Stock:
RESOLVED that, pursuant to authority vested in the Board of Directors
by Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this
Corporation, a series of Preferred Stock is hereby established, the distinctive
designation of which shall be "Series B Preferred Stock" (such series being
hereinafter called "Series B"), and the preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of Series B, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof (in addition to the relative powers,
preferences and rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof,
set forth in Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation which are applicable to shares of Preferred Stock of all
series) shall be as follows:
1. Number of Shares. The number of shares which shall constitute Series
----------------
B shall be Four Hundred (400) which number of shares may be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) from
time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.
2. Dividends.
---------
(a) Dividend Preference. The holders of outstanding shares of Series
B shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets at the time legally
available therefor, prior in preference to any declaration or payment of any
dividend on the Common Stock of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") at the rate
of $700.00 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series B (as
appropriately adjusted for any subsequent stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations reclassifications and the like), when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation. Such dividends shall be cumulative and
are payable semi-annually in cash or, at the option of the Corporation, in kind
in shares of the Corporation's Class B Common Stock (the "Class B Common") (as
appropriately adjusted for any subsequent stock splits, stock dividends,
reclassifications and the like) on the last day of June and December, commencing
December 31, 1999; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not, without
prior stockholder approval, pay such dividends in kind if the aggregate number
of shares of Class B Common paid as a dividend is exchangeable into twenty (20)
percent or more of the Common Stock or voting power of the Corporation
outstanding immediately before the closing date of the Series B Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Closing Date"). If the Corporation pays a dividend in
shares, the semi-annual dividend on each outstanding share of Series B (as
appropriately adjusted for any subsequent stock splits, stock dividends,
reclassifications and the like) will be that number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Class B Common that is equal to $350.00 divided by
the then effective Dividend Conversion Price. The Dividend Conversion Price
shall be equal to the average closing
-2-
price of the Common Stock (the "Common Stock") over the ten (10) trading days
prior to the dividend payment date.
(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class B Common shall
issued upon payment of a dividend in kind. In lieu of any fractional shares to
which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash
equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Dividend Conversion
Price.
3. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or
------------------
winding up of the Corporation (or the deemed occurrence of such event pursuant
to subsection 3(d) below), either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the
stockholders of the Corporation shall be made in the following manner:
(a) Amount of Liquidation Preference. The holders of Series B shall
be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of
the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common
Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, the Liquidation Preference (as
defined herein) specified for each share of Series B then held by them and, in
addition, an amount equal to all cumulated and declared but unpaid dividends on
the Series B. The "Liquidation Preference" shall mean an amount per share equal
to the sum of (i) the Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per share (the "Original
Issue Price") for each outstanding share of Series B (as appropriately adjusted
for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications or the
like) and (ii) any cumulated and declared but unpaid dividends on such share.
If the assets and funds thus available for distribution among the
holders of the Series B shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such
holders of their full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire amount of
the assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall
be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B in proportion to the
aggregate Liquidation Preference for the shares of such Series B owned by such
holder.
(b) Distribution after Payment of Liquidation Preference. After
payment has been made to the holders of the Series B of the full preferential
amount set forth in Section 3(a) above, the entire remaining assets and funds of
the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of the Class B Common and the Common Stock.
(c) Shares not Treated as Both Preferred Stock and Common Stock in
any Distribution. Shares of Series B shall not be entitled to be converted into
shares of Class B Common or Common Stock in order to participate in any
distribution, or series of distributions, as shares of Class B Common or Common
Stock, without first foregoing participation in the distribution, or series of
distributions, as shares of Series B pursuant to paragraph (a) above.
(d) Deemed Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 3, a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or
corporations, unless the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to
any such transaction are holders of a majority of the voting power of the
surviving corporation or acquiring corporation or such corporation's parent
immediately thereafter (and for purposes of this calculation equity securities
which any stockholder of the
-3-
Corporation owned immediately prior to such merger or consolidation as a
stockholder of another party to the transaction shall be disregarded), or a sale
or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation
(or any series of related transactions resulting in the sale or other transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation), shall be treated
as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
(e) Non-Cash Distribution. Whenever the distribution provided for in
this Section 3 shall be payable in securities or property other than cash, the
value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such securities or
other property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any
securities shall be valued as follows:
(i) Securities not subject to investment letter or other
similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (ii) below:
(1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq
Stock Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices
of the securities on such quotation system over the thirty (30) day period
ending three (3) days prior to the closing;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is
applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the
closing; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be
the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors
and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then
outstanding shares of Series B.
(ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment
letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions
arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former
affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value
determined as above in (i)(1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market
value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors and the holders
of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of
such Series B.
4. Conversion. The holders of Series B shall have conversion rights as
----------
follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series B shall be convertible,
at the option of the holder thereof, at any time at the office of the
Corporation, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Class B Common that is equal to Original Issue Price divided by the then
effective Conversion Price. The initial Conversion Price per share of the Series
B shall be $1.9125. The number of shares of the Class B Common into which each
share of Series B may be converted is hereinafter referred to as the "Conversion
Rate" for such series. Upon any decrease or increase in the Conversion Price or
the Conversion Rate for the Series B as described in this Section 4, the
corresponding Conversion Rate or Conversion Price, as the case may be, shall be
appropriately increased or decreased. Cumulative dividends shall be cancelled
upon conversion of the Series B.
-4-
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series B outstanding five
years from the Closing Date shall automatically be converted into that number of
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class B Common that is equal to the then
effective Conversion Rate for such share.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Class B Common
shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B. In lieu of any fractional
shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall
pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Conversion
Price. Before any holder of Series B shall be entitled to convert the same into
full shares of Class B Common, and to receive certificates therefor, he shall
surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office
of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series B, and shall give
written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the
same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant
to paragraph 4(b) above, the outstanding shares of Series B shall be converted
automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and
whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the
Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, further, that the Corporation shall
not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class B Common
issuable upon such automatic conversion unless either the certificates
evidencing such shares of Series B are delivered to the Corporation or its
transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its
transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and
executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the
Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery,
or after such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to
such holder of Series B, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares
of Class B Common to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable
to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a
conversion into fractional shares of Class B Common, plus any declared and
unpaid dividends on the converted Series B. Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of the shares of Series B to be converted, and the person or persons
entitled to receive the shares of Class B Common issuable upon such conversion
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares
of Class B Common on such date; provided, however, that if the conversion is in
connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation
(or deemed occurrence of such event pursuant to subsection 3(d) above) (a
"Liquidation Event"), the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering
Series B for conversion, be conditioned upon the consummation of the Liquidation
Event, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Class B Common
issuable upon such conversion of the Series B shall not be deemed to have
converted such Series B until immediately prior to the consummation of the
Liquidation Event.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Prices. The Conversion Price of the
Series B shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation
of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided (by stock
-5-
split, or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price for the Series B then in effect shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event
the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
the Conversion Price for the Series B then in effect shall, concurrently with
the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately
increased.
(ii) Adjustments for Other Distributions. In the event the
Corporation at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for
the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any
distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of
Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the
holders of Series B shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the
number of shares of Class B Common receivable thereupon, the amount of
securities of the Company which they would have received had their Series B been
converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter,
during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of
conversion, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such
period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under
this Subparagraph 4(d) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series
B.
(iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and
Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B and
subsequent exchange of the Class B Common for Common Stock shall be changed into
the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock,
whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a
subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), the Conversion Price
then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization
or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such that the Series B shall be
convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the
holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of
such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon
conversion of the Series B immediately before that change.
(iv) Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations, or Sales of
Assets. Subject to Section 3 hereof, if at any time or from time to time there
shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision,
combination, reclassification, or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in
this Section 4) or a merger or consolidation of this Corporation with or into
another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of this
Corporation's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, provision shall be made so that
the holders of the Series B shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
conversion of the Series B held by them, the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of this Corporation, or of the successor Corporation
resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled upon such capital
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4
with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B after the
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end
-6-
that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion
Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the
Series B) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.
(e) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of assets, merger, consolidation, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4,
the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of
Series B a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing
in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The
Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series
B, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting
forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the
time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount,
if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the
conversion and subsequent exchange into Common Stock of the Series B.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event the Corporation shall
propose at any time:
(i) To declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common
Stock whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a
regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any
class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or
series or any other securities or property, or to receive any other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of
its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
(iv) to merge with or into any other corporation, or sell,
lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to
liquidate, dissolve or wind up;
then, in connection with each such event, this Corporation shall send to the
holders of the Series B at least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on
which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters
referred to in (iii)
-7-
and (iv) above. With regard to the matters referenced in (iii) and (iv) above,
such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of the
proposed transaction.
(h) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Class B Common and Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting
the conversion of the shares of the Series B and subsequent exchange of the
Class B Common into shares of Common Stock, such number of its shares of Class B
Common and Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B and subsequent
exchange of Class B Common into Common Stock; and if at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Class B or Common Stock, as the case may be,
shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion and exchange of all then
outstanding shares of the Series B, the Company will take such corporate action
as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized
but unissued shares of Class B or Common Stock, as the case may be, to such
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including without
limitation using its best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval
for any necessary amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation.
5. Redemption.
----------
(a) Redemption Right. Shares of Series B (as appropriately adjusted
for any subsequent stock splits, stock dividends, combinations,
reclassifications and the like) shall be redeemable in whole or in part, pro
rata, at the option of the Corporation (the "Redemption Right") by resolution of
its Board of Directors at any time, or from time to time, upon 30 days' notice
to the holder (the "Notice Date"), if the closing price of the Common Stock is
greater than or equal to $2.8688. The redemption price (the "Redemption Price")
shall equal a percentage (the "Applicable Percentage") of the Original Issue
Price plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon up to and including the date for
redemption. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the one
year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Applicable Percentage shall be 110%;
for the period beginning from the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and
ending on the two year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Applicable
Percentage shall be 115%; and for the period beginning from the two year
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Applicable Percentage shall be 120%.
(b) Mechanics of Redemption. The Redemption Right shall be
exercisable by written notice delivered to the holder of the Series B. The
notice shall indicate the number of Series B shares to be redeemed and the date
on which the redemption is to be effected. The holder shall, prior to the close
of business on the date specified for redemption, deliver the certificate or
certificates to be redeemed, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or
of any transfer agent for the Series B. The Corporation shall, as soon as
practicable after such delivery, deliver a check to the holder an amount equal
to the Redemption Price, provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be
obligated to pay the holder unless either the certificates evidencing the shares
of Class B are delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided
above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such
certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and
-8-
executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the
Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.
6. Voting. The holders of Series B shall not be entitled to notice of,
------
or to vote at, any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation nor to vote
upon any matter relating to the business affairs of the Corporation.
The shares of Series B shall not have any relative powers, preferences
and rights, nor any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other
than as set forth herein or in the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set out hands as President and
Secretary, respectively, of the Corporation this July 29, 1999 and we hereby
affirm that the foregoing Certificate is our act and deed and the act and deed
of the Corporation and that the facts stated therein are true.

OPINION OF COUNSEL
July 30, 1999
Warburg, Xxxxxx Investors, L.P.
000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement,
dated as of even date herewith, (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), complete with
all listed exhibits thereto, by and between IA Corporation I, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and Warburg, Xxxxxx Investors, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Investor"), which provides for the issuance by the Company
to the Investor of 400 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock (the
"Shares"). This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used
in this opinion have the meaning given to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the
negotiation of the Stock Purchase Agreement and issuance of the Shares. As such
counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as we
have deemed advisable or necessary for the purposes of rendering this opinion.
In addition, we have examined originals or copies of documents, corporate
records and other writings that we consider relevant for the purposes of this
opinion. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures
on original documents, the conformity to original documents of all copies
submitted to us and the due execution and delivery of all documents by any party
other than the Company where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to
the effectiveness thereof.
As used in this opinion, the expression "to our knowledge" or "known to
us" with reference to matters of fact means that, after an examination of
documents made available to us by the Company and after inquiries of officers of
the Company but without any further independent factual investigation, we find
no reason to believe that the opinions expressed herein are factually incorrect.
Further, the expression "to our knowledge" with reference to matters of fact
refers to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have
worked on matters for the Company solely in connection with the Stock Purchase
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Except to the extent
expressly set forth herein or as we otherwise believe to be necessary to our
opinion, we have not undertaken any independent
Warburg, Xxxxxx Investors, L.P.

Page 2
investigation to determine the existence or absence of any fact, and no
inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any fact should be
drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinion set
forth below.
For purposes of this opinion, we are assuming that you have all
requisite power and authority, and have taken any and all necessary partnership
(or other) action, to execute and deliver the Stock Purchase Agreement and we
assume that the representations and warranties made by you in the Stock Purchase
Agreement and pursuant thereto are true and correct. We also assume that you
have purchased the Shares for value, in good faith and without notice of any
adverse claims within the meaning of the California Uniform Commercial Code.
The opinions hereinafter expressed are subject to the following
qualifications:
A. We express no opinion as to the effect of rules of law governing
specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (regardless
of whether any such remedy is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
B. We express no opinion as to the effect of applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar federal or state laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally.
C. We express no opinion as to compliance or non-compliance with the
anti-fraud provisions of state and federal laws, rules and regulations
concerning the issuance of securities.
D. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the
indemnification provisions of Section 4.6 of the Stock Purchase Agreement to the
extent the provisions thereof may be subject to limitations of public policy and
the effect of applicable statutes and judicial decisions.
E. We are members of the Bar of the State of California and we are not
expressing any opinion as to any matter relating to laws of any jurisdiction
other than the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the
State of California and the general corporate laws of the State of Delaware. In
particular, we express no opinion as to the state securities or blue sky laws of
any state other than California. As you are aware, we are not licensed to
practice law in the State of Delaware, and our opinions as to the general
corporate laws of the State of Delaware are based solely upon review of standard
compilations of the Delaware General Corporation Law and without reference to
its conflicts of law rules.
F. In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 1 below as to the
qualification and good standing of the Company in Delaware, we have relied
exclusively on a certificate of the Delaware Secretary of State.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and as except as set forth in
the Reorganization Agreement, we are of the opinion that:
1. Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
2. Corporate Power. The Company has full corporate power and authority
to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as currently conducted.
3. Valid Issuance; Authority. The Shares, when issued and sold to the
Investor as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement, and the Class B Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon
exchange of the Class B Common Stock when issued pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designation will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The execution and
delivery of the Stock Purchase Agreement by the Company, and the consummation by
the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary action on the part of the Company and, no other proceedings are
necessary to authorize the Stock Purchase Agreement or to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereby. The Stock Purchase Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, and (ii) the effect of
rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.
4. No Conflict. The execution and delivery of the Stock Purchase
Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or
default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise
to a right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any
obligation under any provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the Certificate of Designation and Bylaws of the Company.
5. Capitalization. Immediately prior to the Closing, the authorized
capital stock of the Company will consist of 40,000,000 shares of authorized
Common Stock, $.01 par value, of which 5,000,000 are designated Class B Common,
and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, 400 of which are
designated Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Company Capital Stock").
