liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether absolute, accrued,
contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, other than

consistent with past practice that individually and in the aggregate are not
material to the business, operations, assets, liabilities, properties,
condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects (collectively, "Condition") of
PRT. Since December 31, 1996, there has not been any material adverse change
in, or, to the knowledge of PRT, any event that with the passage of time could

governmental investigation or claim (collectively, "Actions") pending or, to
the knowledge of PRT, threatened against PRT or any officer, director or key

individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a
8

is there any basis for any such Action. PRT is not in violation in any
material respect of any applicable Law (including, without limitation, matters
relating to securities, loans, employment and improper payments), and no
notice has been received by PRT or any of its officers or directors alleging
any such violation. There is no existing violation or default by PRT or, to
the knowledge of PRT, by any other party to (nor to the knowledge of PRT does

or both would constitute a default under or breach of) any contract,
agreement, instrument, license, permit or obligation to which PRT is a party
or by which PRT or any of its properties or assets is bound, which,
individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the
Condition of PRT.

and operations.

SECTION 4.1. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Restrictions on Transfers of Securities. JPMVC agrees
not to sell any of the Securities except in accordance with Sections 4.5, 4.9,
and 4.10 of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, which Sections shall be
deemed incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and, in the case of
Section 4.5(c) of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended by
Section 4.1(b), below.
(b) Amendment to Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement Section
4.5(c). For the purposes of this Exchange Agreement and the PRT Warrant,
Section 4.5(c) of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to
include (after clause (iv) but immediately preceding the semicolon before the
proviso in such Section) the clause, "or (v) a transfer by JPMVC or any of its
assignees to any affiliate of JPMVC (which shall include, without limitation,
any limited partnership the general partner of which is an affiliate of
JPMVC)".
(c) Restrictions on Transfer by Regulation Y Investors.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 4.1(a) and (b) above, no
"Regulation Y Investor" (as defined below) may sell, assign, pledge, encumber
or otherwise transfer (x) any non-voting common stock of PRT (or, if created
and acquired by such Regulation Y Investor, non-voting Preferred Stock of PRT)
or (y) any portion of the PRT Warrant that, at the time of such transfer, is
exercisable by such Regulation Y Investor only for non-voting securities of
PRT (the securities referred to in (x) and (y) are sometimes referred to
herein as "Non-Voting Securities"), except (i) to PRT; (ii) to any
10
stockholder or group of stockholders that, immediately prior to such sale or
other transfer, control a majority (a "Controlling Investor") of PRT's voting
common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Voting Common Shares"); (iii) to the
ultimate parent corporation (a "Parent") of such Regulation Y Investor or any
wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of such Parent (a "Controlled
Subsidiary"); (iv) in connection with any merger, consolidation or
reorganization of PRT (a "Reorganization"); (v) pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.5 of this Exchange Agreement; (vi) in a registered public offering
or an open market sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any
successor rule or regulation); (vii) in a private sale (otherwise than to PRT,
to a Controlling Investor, to a Parent or Controlled Subsidiary of such
Parent, in a Reorganization or pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.5),
provided that the Regulation Y Investor (A) shall have first offered to PRT
the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Non-Voting
Securities being sold pursuant to a written offer which shall have been open
to acceptance for a period of at least ten days, for cash at a price which did
not exceed the price obtained in the private sale and (B) shall not knowingly
sell or otherwise transfer to any single person or group of persons acting in
concert a number of Non-Voting Securities which, if converted into Voting
Common Shares, would represent more than 2% of the Voting Common Shares then
outstanding; or (viii) upon the advice of counsel to such Regulation Y
Investor that such sale or other transfer is permitted under the laws and
regulations applicable to such Regulation Y Investor. The foregoing
restriction will not apply at any time at which the Voting Common Shares held
by such Regulation Y Investor (treating Non-Voting Securities held by it as
having been converted into or exercised for Voting Common Shares) would in the
aggregate represent less than 5% of the outstanding Voting Common Shares. As
used in this Exchange Agreement, "Regulation Y Investor" means (i) JPMVC and
(ii) any transferee of JPMVC's Non-Voting Securities that is subject to the
provisions of Regulation Y of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (12 C.F.R. Part 225) or any successor to such regulation ("Regulation
Y").
SECTION 4.2. Assistance in Sales. Anything in this Exchange
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it becomes
unlawful for JPMVC to con-
11
tinue to hold all or some portion of the PRT Shares held by it, or
restrictions are imposed on JPMVC by any law, rule, regulation or governmental
authority which, in the reasonable judgment of JPMVC, make it unduly
burdensome to continue to hold all or some portion of such PRT Shares, JPMVC
may sell or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its PRT Shares, and PRT
shall use reasonable efforts to assist JPMVC in disposing of such interest in
a prompt and orderly manner and, at the request of JPMVC, shall provide (and
authorize JPMVC to provide) financial and other information concerning PRT to
any prospective purchaser of such interest.
SECTION 4.3. Restriction on Certain Repurchases. PRT shall
not directly or indirectly redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any PRT
Shares or Voting Common Shares (i) if the effect of such action would be to
increase JPMVC's holdings of PRT Shares or Voting Common Shares to more than
24.9% of the then issued and outstanding PRT Shares and Voting Common Shares,
in the aggregate; and (ii) without first giving JPMVC an opportunity to
convert such of its Voting Common Shares or shares of Preferred Stock into
Non-Voting Securities, as it may wish, if the effect of such action would be
to increase the holdings of Voting Common Shares or shares of Preferred Stock
of JPMVC and its affiliates to more than 4.9% of the then issued and
outstanding Voting Common Shares or Preferred Stock of PRT, respectively.
SECTION 4.4. Preemptive Rights.
(a) PRT and the Shareholders covenant and agree that JPMVC
shall have the preemptive rights of an Investor granted pursuant to Section
3.18 of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, and such Section 3.18 is
deemed incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.
(b) In the event that any new securities to be issued by PRT
are voting securities, a Regulation Y Investor shall have the right under this
Section 4.4 to purchase, in lieu of such voting securities, an identical
number of non-voting securities that have the same dividend, liquidation and
other economic rights as such voting securities and that are convertible, in
whole or in part, on a share-for-share basis, into such voting securities at
the option of such Regulation Y Investor in
12
the same manner, and subject to the same restrictions, that Non-Voting
Securities are convertible into Voting Common Shares.
SECTION 4.5. Tag-Along and First Offer Rights.
(a) PRT and the Shareholders covenant and agree that JPMVC
shall have the co-sale and first offer rights of an Investor granted pursuant
to Sections 3.20 and 3.23 of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, and such
Sections 3.20 and 3.23 are deemed to be incorporated by reference herein,
mutatis mutandis.
(b) If the consideration to be received on account of the
sale, transfer or other disposition pursuant to this Section 4.5 is in a form
other than cash, and the acquisition or ownership of such consideration by
JPMVC could, in the reasonable judgment of JPMVC, result in violation of
applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Selling Founder(s) (as defined in
the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement) shall cause the prospective purchaser
to take such steps as JPMVC may reasonably request (including, by way of
example and not of limitation, to issue nonvoting stock convertible into
voting stock in lieu of consideration in the form of an equal number of shares
of voting stock and/or to enter into agreements limiting the disposition of
such consideration) in order to avoid such a violation of law, rule or
regulation.
(c) JPMVC shall not be required to make any representation
in connection with any such sale, transfer or other disposition (other than as
to title, due authorization and due execution relating solely to JPMVC);
provided, that if all Selling Founders shall be required to provide any
indemnification in any agreement relating to such sale, transfer or other
disposition, JPMVC shall be required to bear its proportionate share of any
such indemnification, provided that the liability of JPMVC shall be limited to
an amount equal to the net proceeds from such sale, transfer or other
disposition received by JPMVC.

information and access provided to an Investor or a Qualifying Investor
pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.7 of the Preferred Stock Purchase

and shall cause its employees and advisors to, keep confidential any

of PRT or PRT Barbados,and not to disclose such confidential information to

of this Exchange Agreement or JPMVC's investment in PRT.
SECTION 4.9. Indemnification. PRT agrees to indemnify JPMVC
and each officer, director, employee and affiliate of JPMVC (the "Indemnified
Parties") for, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any
and all damages, losses and other liabilities of any kind, including, without
limitation, judgments and costs of settlement, and any and all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Parties (all of which
expenses shall be periodically reimbursed as incurred), in each case, suffered
or incurred in connection with (A) any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding or claim brought or threatened relating to or arising out
of this Exchange Agreement, the PRT Warrant or the transactions contemplated
