RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company, the Founders and the holders of Series A Stock

Purchasers have requested that the Company extend to them registration rights,
information rights and other rights as set forth below; and

that the Prior Agreement shall terminate upon the closing of the sale and

is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

bound by this Section 2, (B) such Holder shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed

such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the

necessary for a transfer by a Holder which is (A) a partnership to its partners
or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation
to its shareholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation, (C) a
limited liability company to its members or former members in accordance with

an original Holder hereunder.
(b) Each certificate representing Shares or Registrable
Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of the Agreement)
be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the
following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities
laws or as provided elsewhere in this Agreement):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND
UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT
SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(c) The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly
unlegended certificates at the request of any holder thereof if the holder shall
have obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the
Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities
proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration,
qualification or legend.
(d) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to
applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect
to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of
the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.
SECTION 3. REGISTRATION.
3.1 DEMAND REGISTRATION.
3.1.1 Subject to the conditions of this Section 3.1, if the
Company shall receive a written
3
request from the Holders of more than twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding (the "Initiating Holders") that the Company file a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of at
least twenty percent (20%) of their Registrable Securities or a lesser
percentage if the Registrable Securities to be registered will have an aggregate
offering price to the public in excess of $2,000,000, then the Company shall,
within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such
request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 3.1,
effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all
Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered.
3.1.2 If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
this Section 3.1 and the Company shall include such information in the written
notice referred to in Section 3.1.1. In such event, the right of any Holder to
include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned
upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually
agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to
the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities
through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which
underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.1, if the underwriter
advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of
securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the
Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would
otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be
included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such
Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable
Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any
Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from the registration.
3.1.3 The Company shall not be required to effect a
registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 prior to the earlier of:
(i) August 15, 2001; or
(ii) after the Company has effected two (2)
registrations pursuant to this Section 3.1, and such registrations have been
declared or ordered effective; or
(iii) during the period starting with the date of
filing of, and ending on the date one (1) year following the effective date of,
the registration statement pertaining to the Initial Offering; or
(iv) if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a
written request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 3.1.1, the Company
gives notice to the Holders of the Company's intention to make its Initial
Offering within ninety (90) days; or
(v) if the Company shall furnish to Holders
requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.1, a certificate
signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be detrimental to the Company
and its shareholders for such registration statement to be effected at such
time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a
period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the
Initiating Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be
exercised by the Company no
4
more than twice in any one-year period.
3.2 PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall notify all Holders of
Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing
of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public
offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to,
registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the
Company, but excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit
plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under
Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity
to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable
Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it
shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the
Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended
method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder
decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration
statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless
continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any
subsequent such registration statement or registration statements as may be
filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein.
3.2.1 UNDERWRITING. If the registration statement under which
the Company gives notice under this Section 3.2 is for an underwritten offering,
the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such
event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to
this Section 3.2 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. All Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall 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 the Agreement, if the underwriter determines that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of
shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to
the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total
number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any
shareholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis. No such
reduction shall reduce the securities being offered by the Company for its own
account to be included in the registration and underwriting.
3.2.2 RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. The Company shall have
the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated or withdraw any
registration initiated by it under this Section 3.2 prior to the effectiveness
of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities
in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration
shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof.
3.3 FORM S-3 REGISTRATION. In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that
the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or
any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or
compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by
such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
3.3.1 promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders
of Registrable Securities; and
3.3.2 as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all
such qualifications and
5
compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale
and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion
of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such
request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of such written notice from the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.3:
(i) if Form S-3 (or any successor or similar form) is
not available for such offering by the Holders, or
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any
other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration,
propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an
aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000, or
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors 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 and its shareholders
for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the
Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration
statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the
request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 3.3, provided, that such
right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company no more than twice in
any one-year period, or
(iv) if the Company has already effected two (2)
registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.3, or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.
3.3.3 Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form
S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other
securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of
the request or requests of the Holders.
3.4 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. Except as specifically provided
herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 3.1 or any registration under
Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling
Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne
by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the
number of shares so registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to
pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 3.1 or
3.3, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating
Holders unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information
concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the
time of such request or (b) the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities
agree to forfeit their right to one requested registration pursuant to Section
3.1 or Section 3.3, as applicable, in which event such right shall be forfeited
by all Holders. If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses,
such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable
Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares
for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the
Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then
the
6
Holders shall not forfeit their rights pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.3 to
a demand registration.
3.5 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible:
3.5.1 Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder,
keep such registration statement effective for up to sixty (60) days or, if
earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related
thereto.
3.5.2 Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement.
3.5.3 Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.
3.5.4 Use all reasonable 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.
3.5.5 In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
3.5.6 Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.
3.5.7 Furnish, at the request of a majority of the Holders
participating in the registration, on the date that such Registrable Securities
are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold
through underwriters, (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 (ii) a 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 addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if permitted by
applicable accounting standards, to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities.
7
3.6 TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All registration rights granted
under this Section 3 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect five
(5) years after the date of the Company's Initial Offering. In addition, a
Holder's registration rights shall expire if (i) the Company has completed its
Initial Offering and is subject to the provisions of the Exchange Act, (ii) such
Holder (together with its affiliates, partners and former partners) holds less
than 1% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (treating all shares of
convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Preferred Stock") on an as
converted basis) and (iii) all Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be
sold under Rule 144 during any one hundred eighty (180) day period.
3.7 DELAY OF REGISTRATION; FURNISHING INFORMATION.
3.7.1 No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result
of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Section 3.
3.7.2 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 that the
selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration
of their Registrable Securities.
3.8 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3:
3.8.1 To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers, directors and
legal counsel of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act)
for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation") by the Company: (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the
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
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in
connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the
Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director,
underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 3.8.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case
for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter
or controlling person of such Holder.
8
3.8.2 To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if
Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to
which such registration, qualifications or compliance is being effected,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers,
and legal counsel and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling
securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's
partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the
Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other
such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other
Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be
specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder
will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or
any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or
partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a
Violation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 3.8.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 3.8
exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
3.8.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 3.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.8, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 3.8, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 3.8.
3.8.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.8
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability 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 Violation(s) that resulted in such
loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
9
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; provided, that in no event shall any
contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder.
3.8.5 The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 3.8 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities
in a registration statement. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation. In the event any offering of Registrable Securities is
underwritten, and the underwriting agreement provides for indemnification and/or
contribution by the Company and the Holders offering securities thereunder, the
indemnification and/or contribution obligations of the Company and the Holders
hereunder shall in no event exceed the obligations of the parties set forth in
such underwriting agreement.
3.9 ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the Company
to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 may be assigned by
a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities which (i) is a
subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner or retired partner of a
Holder, or an employee of a partner or shareholder of a Holder or, if such
partner or shareholder of Holder is a partnership or corporation, a partner or

written consent of the Company and the Holders of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the Registrable Securities which are not held by the Founders, unless such
amendment or waiver adversely affects the Founders differently than the other

under this Section 3, Holders of Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound
by the provisions hereunder.

this Agreement, if the Company shall enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder
registration rights senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder, then the

representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company, each Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
shares of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder
(other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the

hundred eighty (180) day period.
