Rata Shares. The aggregate amount of accounts and notes receivable to be

Section 10.01. Prohibited Activities. Each Stockholder severally agrees
---------------------
that he will not during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on
the second anniversary of the IPO Closing Date, directly or indirectly, for any
reason, for his own account or on behalf of or together with any other Person:
(a) engage as an officer, director or in any other managerial
capacity or as an owner, co-owner or other investor of or in, whether as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant or advisor, in any business in

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Stockholder may own and hold as a passive
investment up to 1% of a class of the outstanding Capital Stock of a competing
Entity if that class of Capital Stock is publicly traded.
Section 10.02 Damages. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic
-------
losses to WORK as a result of any breach by a Stockholder of his covenants in
Section 10.01, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be
caused to WORK for which it would have no other adequate remedy, each
Stockholder agrees that WORK may enforce the provisions of Section 10.01 by
injunctions and restraining orders against the Stockholder if he breaches any of
those provisions.
Section 10.03 Reasonable Restraint. The Parties each agree that Sections
--------------------
10.01 and 10.02 impose a reasonable restraint on the Stockholders in light of
the activities and business of WORK on the date hereof, the current business
plans of WORK and the investment by each Stockholder in WORK as a result of the
Merger.
Section 10.04 Severability; Reformation. The covenants in this Article X
-------------------------
are severable and separate. The unenforceability of any specific covenant in
this Article X is not intended by any Party to, and shall not, affect the
provisions of any other covenant in this Article X. If any court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set
forth in Section 10.01 are unreasonable as applied to any Stockholder, the
Parties, including the Stockholder in question, acknowledge their mutual
intention and agreement that those restrictions be enforced to the fullest
extent the court deems reasonable, and thereby shall be reformed to that extent
as applied to that Stockholder and any other Stockholder similarly situated.
Section 10.05 Independent Covenant. All the covenants in this Article X
--------------------
are intended by each Party to, and shall, be construed as an agreement
independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any
claim or cause of action of any Stockholder against WORK, whether predicated on
this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement
by WORK of any covenant in this Article X. It is specifically agreed that the
period specified in Section 10.01 shall be computed in the case of each
Stockholder by excluding from that computation any time during which that
Stockholder is in violation of any provision of Section 10.01. The covenants
contained in this Article X shall not be affected by any breach of any other
provision of this Agreement by any Party.
Section 10.06 Materiality. The Company and each Stockholder, severally
-----------
and not jointly with any other Person, hereby agree that this Article X is a
material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Treatment of Confidential Information.
-------------------------------------
(a) Each of the Company and the Stockholders, severally and not
jointly with any other Person, acknowledges that it has or may have had in
the past, currently has and in the future may have access to Confidential
Information of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, the Other Founding
Companies and their Subsidiaries and WORK and its Subsidiaries. Each of the
Company and the Stockholders, severally and not jointly with any other
Person, agrees that it will keep confidential all such Confidential
Information furnished to it and, except with the specific prior written
consent of WORK will not disclose such Confidential Information to any
Person except (a) Representatives of WORK, (b) its own Representatives,
provided that these Representatives (other than counsel) agree to the
confidentiality provisions of this Section 11.01; and provided, further,
that Confidential Information shall not include (i) such information which
becomes known to the public generally through no fault of any Stockholder,
(ii) information required to be disclosed by law or the order of any
governmental authority under color of law, provided, that prior to
disclosing any information pursuant to this clause (ii), each Stockholder
shall, if possible, give prior written notice thereof to WORK and provide
WORK with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, or (iii) information
with respect to which the disclosing party reasonably believes disclosure
is required in connection with the defense of a lawsuit against the
disclosing party. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by any
Stockholder of the provisions of this Section 11.01 with respect to any
Confidential Information, WORK shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining such Stockholder from disclosing, in whole or in part, that
Confidential Information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
WORK from pursuing any other available remedy for such breach or threatened
breach, including the recovery of damages.
(b) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses as a result
of the breach of the foregoing covenants in Section 11.01(a), and because
of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to WORK for
which it would have no other adequate remedy, each of the Company and the
Stockholders agrees that WORK may enforce the provisions of Section
11.01(a) by injunctions and restraining orders against each of them who
breaches any of those provisions.
(c) The obligations of WORK set forth in Section 6.01(d) are
incorporated in this Section 11.01 by this reference.
(d) The obligations of the parties under this Section 11.01 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

appoint or otherwise dispose of (A) any shares of WORK Common Stock
received by any Stockholder in the Merger or (B) any interest in (including
any option to buy or sell) any such shares of WORK Common Stock, in whole
or in part, and WORK will have no obligation to, and shall not, treat any
such attempted transfer as effective for any purpose; or (ii) engage in any
transaction, whether or not with respect to any shares of WORK Common Stock
or any interest therein, the intent or effect of which is to reduce the
risk of owning the shares of WORK Common Stock acquired pursuant to Section

similar market transactions); provided, however, that this Section 11.02
shall not restrict any transfer of WORK Common Stock acquired by a

solely:
(i) by the mutual written consent of WORK and the Company;
(ii) by the Majority Stockholders or the Company, on the one
hand, or by WORK, on the other hand, if the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement to take place at the Closing shall not have been
consummated by September 30, 1998, unless the failure of such
transactions to be consummated results from the willful failure of the
Party (or in the case of the Stockholders and the Company, any of
them) seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or adhere to any
agreement required hereby to be performed or adhered to by that Party
prior to or at the Closing or thereafter on the IPO Closing Date;
provided, however, that the date September 30, 1998, set forth above
shall be extended to October 31, 1998, unless, on or before September
15, 1998, Founding Companies which are to receive a majority of the
initial merger consideration (valuing shares of WORK Common Stock at
$12 per share) to be received by all the Founding Companies on the IPO
Closing Date notify WORK that they have elected not to extend such
date beyond September 30, 1998;
(iii) by the Majority Stockholders or the Company, on the one
hand, or by WORK, on the other hand, if a material breach or default
shall be made by the other Party (or in the case of the Stockholders
and the Company, any of them) in the observance or in the due and
timely performance of any of the covenants, agreements or conditions
contained herein and such breach or default continues for fifteen days
after written notice from the Majority Stockholders or the Company, on
the one hand, or from WORK on the other hand; or
(iv) by WORK if it is entitled to do so as provided in Section
6.06.
(b) This Agreement may be terminated after the Closing solely:
(i) by WORK or the Company if the Underwriting Agreement is
terminated pursuant to its terms after the Closing and prior to the
consummation of the IPO; or
(ii) automatically and without action on the part of any party
hereto if the IPO is not consummated within 15 Business Days after the
date of the Closing.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.01,
the Merger will be deemed for all purposes to have been abandoned and of no
force or effect. If this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.01 after the
Certificate of Merger has been filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of California, but before the IPO has been consummated, WORK (at
WORK's expense) will take all actions that Counsel for the Company and the
Stockholders advises WORK are required by the applicable laws of the State
of California to rescind the Merger.
Section 12.02 Liabilities in Event of Termination. If this Agreement is
-----------------------------------
terminated pursuant to Section 12.01, there shall be no liability or obligation
on the part of any Party except (a) as provided in Section 11.07, or (b) to the
extent that such liability is based on the breach by that Party of any of its or
his representations, warranties or covenants set forth in of this Agreement.
