----------------
provided, however, the Company shall deliver the Income Statement to the
Purchaser on or before January 31, 2002. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Business Day" shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the

Company's net revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 to be less

unless otherwise agreed by the parties, have the option to require the Purchaser
to purchase an additional 2,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase
price of $1,000 per share. Full payment of the purchase price for the Third

interest pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Note divided by
$1,000, together with a cash payment by the Company for the value of any
fractional shares and (ii) by delivering $750,000 in cash by wire transfer to
▇▇▇▇, in accordance with ▇▇▇▇'▇ written wiring instructions, against delivery of
duly executed Series A-1 Preferred Stock certificates.
(b) At the Second Closing (if any), in the sole discretion of the
Purchaser, the Purchaser shall either (i) convert the remaining principal amount
and accrued and unpaid interest under the Convertible Promissory Note
(approximately $100,000) into Series B Stock and purchase an additional 1,750
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share; or
(ii) purchase 1,750 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of
$1,000 per share, without converting the remaining balance of the Convertible

by such amount.

to the Company's knowledge, threatened inquiry, investigation or administrative
or legal proceeding by the Internal Revenue Service, the taxing authorities of
any state or local jurisdiction, the Commission or any state securities

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.8.4 Except as described on Schedule 3.8.4, there is no claim,

litigation or administrative proceeding pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened or contemplated, against the Company, or against any officer,
director or employee of the Company in connection with such person's employment

3.9 Intellectual Property. The Company owns or possesses sufficient legal
---------------------
rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade
secrets, information and other proprietary rights and processes (collectively,
"Intellectual Property") used in or for its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted, without any infringement of the rights of others. The
Company has at all times, and will continue to, take all actions necessary
-8-
and desirable to maintain and protect each of the items of Intellectual Property
owned or used by the Company. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule 3.9
-------- ---
attached hereto, there are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any
kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company bound by or a party to any
options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the Intellectual
Property of any other person or entity other than such licenses or agreements
arising from the purchase of "off the shelf" or standard products with a retail
license value of less than $500. The Company has not received any communications
alleging that it has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would
violate any of the Intellectual Property rights of any other person or entity.
The Company is not aware of any violation or misappropriation, or threatened
violation or misappropriation, or any allegation of invalidity by any other
person or entity of the Company's Intellectual Property rights. The Company is
not aware that any of its employees are obligated under any contract (including
licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that
would interfere with their duties to the Company or that would conflict with the
Company's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor the
delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by the
employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's business as proposed,
will, to the Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any employee is now obligated. The Company
does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions, trade
secrets or proprietary information of any of its employees made prior to the
employment by the Company, except for inventions, trade secrets or proprietary
information that have been assigned to the Company. Each of the Company's prior
and current employees and independent contractors who have contributed to the
Company's proprietary products have executed non-disclosure and assignment of
intellectual property rights agreements ("IP Assignment Agreements"), all of
which agreements are valid and fully enforceable. The Company's proprietary
products include, without limitation, those software programs identified in
Schedule 3.9, with respect to which software programs the Company is currently
-------- ---
seeking copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office (collectively, the
"Proprietary Software"). The Company's Proprietary Software has been developed
entirely by the Company's employees and independent contractors, all of whom
have executed IP Assignment Agreements vesting in the Company all Intellectual
Property rights in the Proprietary Software. The Company developed the
Proprietary Software independently and separately from the Company's other
proprietary software programs that are "open source". There is no overlap in the
programming between, nor any code sharing between, nor any other intellectual
property rights that are embodied in both, the Company's Proprietary Software
and its "open source" software. The Company's acquisition of the "JABBER"
trademark, including the registration therefor with United States Patent and
Trademark Office, with registration number 2148182, is fully valid and binding.
The Company acquired from the original registrant of such trademark all goodwill
associated with the trademark, and the Company's trademark rights in "JABBER,"
including the registration therefor, is fully enforceable. Schedule 3.9 attached
-------- ---
hereto further identifies each registration issued with respect to, and pending
application for the registration of, the Company's Intellectual Property.
3.10 Registration Rights; Rights of Participation. Except as described on
------------------- -----------------------
Schedule 3.10 hereto, (a) the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any
-------------
person or entity any rights (including "piggy-back" registration rights) to have
any securities of the Company to be
-9-
registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority and (b) no
person or entity including, but not limited to, ▇▇▇▇ and current or former
stockholders of the Company, underwriters, brokers, agents or other third
parties, has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of
participation, anti-dilutive right or any similar right to participate in, or to
receive securities of the Company or other consideration as a result of, the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
which has not been waived or will not be waived or otherwise satisfied as of the
respective Closing Date.
3.11 Solicitation; Other Issuances of Securities. Neither ▇▇▇▇ nor any of
------------ -----------------------------
its subsidiaries (including the Company) or affiliates, nor any person acting on
its or their behalf, (a) has engaged in any form of general solicitation or
general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the
offer or sale of the Preferred Shares, (b) has, directly or indirectly, made any
offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security,

of such Purchaser Indemnified Party's pro rata portion of such Losses, arising
--------
out of (a) any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company or ▇▇▇▇
contained in this Agreement, which breach is caused by the act(s) or failure(s)
to act of ▇▇▇▇ and (b) any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the
Company or ▇▇▇▇ contained in this Agreement and in any document, certificate or
other instrument or writing delivered by or on behalf of the Company or ▇▇▇▇ in
connection
-20-
with this Agreement. Any Loss for which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is
entitled to payment under this Section 6.2 may be paid to the Purchaser
-----------
Indemnified Party, at the Purchaser Indemnified Party's option, either (x) in
cash or immediately available funds within 10 business days of receipt by ▇▇▇▇
of notice of such Loss by Purchaser Indemnified Party or (y) by a contribution
by ▇▇▇▇ to the Company of the amount of such Loss. For purposes of this Section
-------
6.2, pro rata portion of such Losses shall equal the percentage of Company
--- --------
securities owned by the Purchaser Indemnified Party, on a fully diluted basis.
By way of example only, if the Company incurs a Loss of $100,000 which Loss
arises out of a breach of any matter referenced in clause (a) or (b) above, and
the Purchaser Indemnified Party owns 15% of the Company on a fully diluted
basis, then ▇▇▇▇ shall either pay the Purchaser Indemnified Party $15,000 or
make a contribution to the Company of $15,000, at the direction of the Purchaser
Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum liability of ▇▇▇▇
pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall not exceed $7,000,000 in the aggregate.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF
SERIES OF PREFERRED STOCK
JABBER, INC.
FIRST AMENDMENT TO STATEMENT OF DESIGNATION
OF
RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND LIMITATIONS
OF
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The undersigned, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Secretary of Jabber, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies that the following resolutions
amending the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the
Corporation were duly adopted: (i) unanimously at a meeting of the directors of
the Corporation on July 3, 2001; (ii) unanimously by the holders of the total
outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation on July 3, 2001; and (iii) by a majority of the
holders of the total outstanding shares of capital stock at a meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation on July 3, 2001:
RESOLVED, that the Designation of Rights, Preferences and Limitations of Series
A Preferred Stock filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 9, 2000
shall be amended in the manner attached hereto as Exhibit A:
RESOLVED, that the Secretary of the Corporation is hereby authorized and
directed to make, execute and file with the Delaware Secretary of State in the
manner required by law, a First Amendment to Designation of Rights, Preferences
and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock, and to take all other action he may
deem necessary or advisable to carry into effect the foregoing resolution.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have subscribed my name this ____ day of July, 2001.
________________________________
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Secretary
EXHIBIT A
DESIGNATION OF RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES
OF PREFERRED STOCK OF
JABBER, INC.
------------
A. The Corporation has authority to issue two classes of shares designated
"Preferred Stock" and "Common Stock" respectively. The total number of
shares of capital stock that the Corporation has authority to issue is
75,000,000. The total number of shares of Common Stock the Corporation has
authority to issue is 55,000,000. The total number of shares of Preferred
Stock the Corporation has authority to issue is 20,000,000. The Preferred
Stock has a par value of $.01 per share and the Common Stock has a par
value of $.01 per share.
B. 10,200,000 shares of Preferred Shares are hereby designated Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The Series A
Preferred Stock shall consist of two classes: (i) Series A-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series A-1 Preferred Stock") and Series A-2
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A-2 Preferred Stock"). 8,800,000
shares of Series A Preferred Shares are hereby designated Series A-1
Preferred Stock; and 1,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Shares are
hereby designated Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The powers, preferences,
rights, restrictions, and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred
Stock are as follows:
1. Dividends.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
dividends only when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors and such
dividends shall be noncumulative. No dividends (other than those payable
solely in the Common Stock of the Corporation) shall be paid on any Common
Stock of the Corporation during any fiscal year of the Corporation unless a
dividend is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock in an amount for each such share of Series A Preferred
Stock equal to or greater than the aggregate amount of such dividends for
all shares of Common Stock into which each such share of Series A Preferred
Stock could then be converted.
2. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock 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 thereof,
the amount of $0.50 per share, (as adjusted for any stock dividends,
combinations or splits with respect to such shares) plus all declared but
unpaid dividends on such share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock
then held by them (the "Preferred Liquidation Amount"). The Designation
for any other series of the Corporation's Preferred
Stock may provide that the liquidation preference for such stock is prior
to and may be paid before the payment of the liquidation preference for the
Series A Preferred Stock. If the funds available upon liquidation are
insufficient to satisfy in full the Preferred Liquidation Amount of all
series of Preferred Stock, then the entire assets of the Corporation
available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably first among
the holders of Series B Preferred Stock of the Corporation and then
distributed ratably among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any
other outstanding series of Preferred Stock (other than Series B Preferred
Stock), based on the number of shares held by each multiplied by the
applicable Preferred Liquidation Amount per share. Immediately after the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series C Preferred Stock") and any other outstanding series of
Preferred Stock other than Series B Preferred Stock shall have been paid in
full their respective Preferred Liquidation Amount, the holders of the
Common Stock shall share ratably with the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock (as if such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C
Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock in accordance with the
terms thereof); provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock from converting their shares of Series
A Preferred Stock to Common Stock prior to such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4 below.
(b) Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section B.2 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.
3. Voting Rights.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, or as required by law, the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the
Common Stock and all other classes and series of stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on all
actions to be taken by the shareholders of the Corporation. Each share of
Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to such number
of votes per share on each such action as shall equal the largest number of
whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A-1 Preferred
Stock could be converted, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 4 herein,
at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote
on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such
vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited. Each
share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to
such number of votes per share on each such action as shall equal ten times
the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares
of Series A-2 Preferred Stock could be converted, pursuant to the
provisions of paragraph 4 herein, at the record date for the determination
of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date
is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of
shareholders is solicited.
-2-
4. Conversion.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as
follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
initially convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time
after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation
or any transfer agent for such stock, into one fully paid and nonassessable
share of Common Stock (the "Series A Conversion Rate").
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall
automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then
effective Series A Conversion Rate immediately prior to the closing of a
firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the
Corporation to the public for which the gross proceeds are at least
$30,000,000 (a "Qualified Public Offering"). In the event of the automatic
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock upon a public offering as
aforesaid, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be given written notice
of such conversion and be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred
Stock effective upon the closing of such sale of securities.
(c) Automatic Conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock. Each share
Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of
Common Stock at the then effective Series A Conversion Rate, and the Series
A-2 Preferred Stock shall theretofore cease to exist, upon the occurrence
of any of the following: (i) the termination of the Pledge Agreement dated
July 6, 2001 by and among the Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ Interactive Services, Inc.,
and French Telecom Technologies Investissements ("FT"); (ii) FT's failure
to cure timely a breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Investor Rights
Agreement or Stockholders Agreement, all of which are dated July 6, 2001;
or (iii) immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.
-3-
(d) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, the
holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for
such stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office
that the holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name
or names in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as
practicable thereafter but in no event later than 10 days thereafter, issue
and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be
deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the
date of surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be
converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on
such date.
(e) Adjustments to Conversion Prices for Stock Dividends and for
Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock. In the event that this
Corporation at any time or from time to time after June 9, 2000, shall
declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock
payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no
consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock
split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in
Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or 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, then the Series A Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to
such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be
proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that
this Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend
on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no
consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend
payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number
of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.
-4-
(f) Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred 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
in Section B.4(e) above) the Conversion Rate then in effect shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or
reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Series A
Preferred Stock 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 A Preferred
Stock immediately before that change.
(g) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, 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 B.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 Series A Preferred Stock against
impairment.
(h) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to this Section
B.4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish
to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the
Corporation's President, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary 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 A Preferred Stock,
furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting
forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Series A 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 of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(i) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion
of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and
if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation
-5-
will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to
such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including,
without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite
stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate.
(j) Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the
conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares
of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of
more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall
be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would
result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the
aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of
a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of
issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such
fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on
the date of conversion (as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion).
(k) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section B.4 to
be given to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and
addressed to each holder of record at the holder's address appearing on the
books of the Corporation.

20% of all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock and Preferred
Stock (on an as-converted fully diluted basis) of the Corporation
immediately after such sale; (2) the right to designate one or more

-2-
voting rights separate from those granted to holders of Common Stock
other than those provided by the Delaware Corporation Law.
(C) Notwithstanding subsection (B) above, the separate voting
rights provided to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock by this
paragraph 1(b) shall not apply if the Board of Directors of FTTI
grants the authorization referred to in Section 5.2.10 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement, date July 6, 2001, among the Corporation, ▇▇▇▇,
France Telecom Technologies Investissements, a French corporation
("FTTI"), and DiamondCluster International, Inc. ("DiamondCluster"),
and ▇▇▇▇ intends either: (i) to make any Transfer (as that term is
defined in the Stockholders Agreement, dated July 6, 2001, among the
Corporation, ▇▇▇▇, FTTI and DiamondCluster (the "Stockholders
Agreement")) on Category II Terms (as that term is defined in the
Stockholders Agreement) or (ii) to make any Transfer which represents
20% of the Corporation's then outstanding Capital Stock (as that term
is defined in the Stockholders Agreement) (on an as-converted basis)
to a party which is not a Category I or Category II Company, then:
(1) At least 45 days prior to making any such Transfer,
▇▇▇▇ shall deliver a written notice (the "▇▇▇▇ Notice") to FTTI,
specifying in reasonable detail the proposed number and class of
Stockholder Shares (as that term is defined in the Stockholders
Agreement) to be transferred by ▇▇▇▇, the identity of the
proposed transferee(s) of such shares, and the proposed terms
(including price and whether paid in one lump sum or in
installments) and conditions of the Transfer (the "▇▇▇▇ Minimum
Sale Terms").
(2) FTTI may elect to purchase the Stockholder Shares
specified in the ▇▇▇▇ Notice at the price and on the terms
specified therein by delivering written notice of such election
to ▇▇▇▇ as soon as practical but in any event within 10 days
after the delivery of the ▇▇▇▇ Notice.
(3) If FTTI elects to purchase the Stockholder Shares
specified in the ▇▇▇▇ Notice, then the transfer of such shares
shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of
the election notice. If FTTI has elected not to purchase all of
the Stockholder Shares being offered, then ▇▇▇▇ may, within 120
days after the delivery of the ▇▇▇▇ Notice, and subject to
Section 4(c) of the Stockholders Agreement, transfer such
Stockholder Shares to one or more third parties at a price no
less than the price per share specified in the ▇▇▇▇ Notice and on
other terms no more favorable to the transferees than offered to

holders shall have the right to redesignate up to two (2) Category II
Companies on an annual basis.
1(c) Board of Directors. For so long as shares of Series B Preferred
------------------
Stock remain outstanding: (i) the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as
a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporation's
Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the
Corporation's stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from
office such director and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or
removal of such director; and (ii) the holders of the Common Stock and all

holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be entitled to

1(e) Restrictions on Transfer of Stockholder Shares. A Stockholder
----------------------------------------------
(defined as a party to the Stockholders Agreement) may freely sell, transfer,
assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any interest in any Stockholder Shares (a
"Transfer") except as provided in this Section 1(e) and the Stockholders
Agreement.
(i) First Refusal Right. A Stockholder other than ▇▇▇▇ may only
-------------------
Transfer Stockholder Shares to a Category I or Category II Company if the
following conditions are met:
(A) At least 45 days prior to making any Transfer of any
Stockholder Shares to a Category I or Category II Company, the
transferring Stockholder (the "Transferring Stockholder") shall
deliver a written notice (the "Offer Notice") to the Corporation, FTTI
and the Other Stockholders (as that term is defined in the
Stockholders Agreement), specifying in reasonable detail the proposed
number and class of Stockholder Shares to be transferred, the identity
of the proposed transferee(s) of such shares, and the proposed terms
(including price and whether paid in one lump sum or in installments)
and conditions of the Transfer (the "Minimum Sale Terms").
(B) The Corporation may elect to purchase up to all of the
Stockholder Shares specified in the Offer Notice at the price and on
the terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such
election to the Transferring Stockholder as
-4-
soon as practical but in any event within 10 days after the delivery
of the Offer Notice.
(C) If the Corporation has not elected to purchase all of the
Stockholder Shares within such 10-day period, FTTI and the Other
Stockholders may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the
applicable class(es) of such Stockholder Shares not purchased by the
Corporation at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer
Notice by delivering written notice of such election to the
Transferring Stockholder as soon as practical, but in any event within
30 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. If FTTI and the Other
Stockholders have in the aggregate elected to purchase more than the
number of Stockholder Shares being offered by the Transferring
Stockholder and not being purchased by the Corporation, the shares
shall be allocated among FTTI and the Other Stockholders electing to
purchase shares according to such Person's (as that term is defined in
the Stockholders Agreement) pro rata share. Each Person's pro rata
share for this Section 1(e)(i)(C) shall equal the product of (x) the
quotient determined by dividing the percentage of Stockholder Shares
(on an as converted basis) owned by such Person by the aggregate
percentage of Stockholder Shares (on an as converted basis) owned by
FTTI and such Other Stockholders who have elected to participate in
such Transfer and (y) the number of Stockholder Shares (on an as
converted basis) to be sold in the contemplated Transfer.
(D) If the Corporation, FTTI or any Other Stockholders have
elected to purchase Stockholder Shares from the Transferring
Stockholder, the transfer of such shares shall be consummated as soon
as practical after the delivery of the election notices, but in any
event within 45 days after the delivery of the Offer Notice. If the
Corporation, FTTI and the Other Stockholders have not elected to
purchase all of the Stockholder Shares being offered, the Transferring
Stockholder may, within 120 days after the delivery of the Offer
Notice, transfer such Stockholder Shares to one or more Category I or
Category II Companies at a price no less than the price per share
specified in the Offer Notice and on other terms no more favorable to
the transferees than offered to the Corporation, FTTI and the Other
Stockholders in the Offer Notice.
(E) The purchase price specified in any Offer Notice shall be
payable solely in cash at the closing of the transaction or in
installments over time, and no Stockholder Shares may be pledged
without the prior written consent of the Corporation, which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld.
(ii) Participation Rights. A Stockholder other than ▇▇▇▇ may make a
--------------------
Significant Transfer (as that term is defined in the Stockholders
Agreement) of Stockholder Shares if the following conditions are met:
(A) At least 60 days prior to offering to make a Significant
Transfer of any Stockholder Shares to a Person, a Stockholder shall
deliver a written notice of the Stockholder's intention to offer such
shares to the Corporation, FTTI and the Other Stockholders. At least
30 days prior to any Significant Transfer of
-5-
Stockholder Shares, the Stockholder proposing to make such Significant
Transfer (the "Selling Stockholder") shall deliver a written notice
(the "Sale Notice") to the Corporation, FTTI and the Other
Stockholders specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the
prospective transferee(s), the number and class of Stockholder Shares
being transferred and the terms (including price and whether paid in
one lump sum or installments) and conditions of the Significant
Transfer.
(B) FTTI and the Other Stockholders may elect to participate in
the proposed Significant Transfer by delivering written notice to the
Selling Stockholder within 20 days after delivery of the Sale Notice.
If FTTI and any Other Stockholders have elected to participate in such
Significant Transfer, the Selling Stockholder, FTTI and such Other
Stockholders shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated Significant
Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms with respect to each
class of Stockholder Shares to be sold, a number of Stockholder Shares
equal to the product of (x) the quotient determined by dividing the
percentage of Stockholder Shares (on an as converted basis) owned by
such person by the aggregate percentage of Stockholder Shares (on an
as converted basis) owned by the Selling Stockholder, FTTI and such
Other Stockholders who have elected to participate in such Significant
Transfer and (y) the number of Stockholder Shares (on an as converted
basis) to be sold in the contemplated Significant Transfer.
(C) Each Selling Stockholder shall use reasonable best efforts
to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the
participation of FTTI and/or the Other Stockholders in any
contemplated Significant Transfer under this Section 1(e)(ii), and
each Stockholder shall not transfer any of its Stockholder Shares to
the prospective transferee(s) if the prospective transferee(s)
declines to allow the participation of FTTI and/or the Other
Stockholders.
(D) No Stockholder Shares may be pledged without the prior
written consent of the Corporation, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld.
(E) For purposes of this Section 1(e), only Stockholder Shares
from the class or classes of Stockholder Shares to be sold in the
Significant Transfer may participate in the Significant Transfer.
(iii) Continuation and Termination of Restrictions. Except as
--------------------------------------------
provided in the following sentence, the restrictions contained in this
Section 1(e) shall continue to be applicable to the Stockholder Shares
after any Transfer. The restrictions set forth in this Section 1(e) shall
terminate with respect to each Stockholder Share on the earlier of the date
on which such Stockholder Share has been transferred in a Public Sale or
upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.
1(f) Participation Rights. If there is an offer received by ▇▇▇▇ that
--------------------
is not prohibited by the terms of Section 4(a) of the Stockholders Agreement or
is not on Category II Terms, then ▇▇▇▇ may make a Transfer of Stockholder Shares
if the following conditions are met:
-6-
(i) At least 45 days prior to any Transfer of Stockholder
Shares, ▇▇▇▇ shall deliver a written notice (the "▇▇▇▇ Sale Notice") to
FTTI specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective
transferee(s), the number and class of Stockholder Shares being transferred
and the terms (including price and whether paid in one lump sum or
installments) and conditions of the Transfer.
(ii) FTTI may elect to participate in the proposed Transfer by
delivering written notice to ▇▇▇▇ within 10 days after delivery of the ▇▇▇▇
Sale Notice. If FTTI elects to participate in such Transfer, FTTI shall be
entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the
same terms with respect to each class of Stockholder Shares to be sold by
▇▇▇▇, a number of Stockholder Shares of each class equal to the product of
(x) the quotient determined by dividing the percentage of Stockholder
Shares of such class owned by FTTI by the aggregate percentage of
Stockholder Shares (on an as converted basis) owned by ▇▇▇▇ and FTTI and
(y) the number of Stockholder Shares (on an as converted basis) to be sold
in the contemplated Transfer.
(iii) ▇▇▇▇ shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the
agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of FTTI in
any contemplated Transfer under this Section 1(f), and ▇▇▇▇ shall not
transfer any of its Stockholder Shares to the prospective transferee(s) if
the prospective transferee(s) declines to allow the participation of FTTI.
4(a)(i) General. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this
-------
Section 4, any shares of Series B Preferred Stock together with any unpaid
Series B Accruing Dividends may, at the option of the holder, be converted at
any time or from time to time into fully-paid and non-assessable shares
(calculated as to each conversion to the nearest smaller whole share) of Common
Stock (except that upon any liquidation of the Corporation the right of
conversion thereof shall terminate at the close of business on the last business
day next preceding the date fixed for payment of the amount distributable with
respect to such shares of Series B Preferred Stock). The number of shares of
Common Stock to which a holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled
upon conversion shall be the sum of (x) the product obtained by multiplying the
Applicable Conversion Rate for Series B Preferred Stock (as determined in
paragraph 4(c)) by the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being
converted, plus (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the aggregate amount of
such unpaid Series B Accruing Dividends by the Applicable Conversion Value.
4(d) Applicable Conversion Value. The Applicable Conversion Value for
---------------------------
the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $1.00. The Applicable Conversion Value
shall be subject to adjustment for any stock splits, combinations, stock
dividends, reclassifications or other events as provided in paragraph 4(e)
herein.
4(e)(i)(A) Sale or Issuance of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall,
--------------------------------
while there are any shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, issue or
sell shares of its Common Stock at a price per share less than the Applicable
Conversion Value for Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such
issuance or sale, or if ▇▇▇▇ shall sell shares of the Corporation's Common
Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock at a price per
share less
-7-
than the Applicable Conversion Value for Series B Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to such sale, then upon each such issuance or sale, except as
hereinafter provided, the Applicable Conversion Value shall be lowered so as to
be equal to the price per share of Common Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock or
Series C Preferred Stock so issued or sold; provided, however, in no event will
any adjustment be made to the extent it would result in any shares of Common
Stock being issued for an amount which is less than the par value of such
shares; provided, however, that this paragraph 4(e) shall not apply to sales by
▇▇▇▇ of shares of the Corporation's Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C
Preferred Stock (or sales by ▇▇▇▇ of derivative securities with respect to the
Corporation's Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock) upon the
earlier to occur of: (x) the receipt by the Corporation of at least $5,000,000
in consideration of sales of its capital stock (whether individually or in the
aggregate from any number of equity investors) after July 6, 2001, and other
than pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July 6, 2001, among the
Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ and FTTI, or (y) July 6, 2002.
(B) Sale or Issuance of Warrants, Options or Purchase Rights with Respect
---------------------------------------------------------------------
to Common Stock. For the purposes of this paragraph 4(e)(i), the issuance by
---------------
the Corporation of any warrants, options, subscriptions or purchase rights with
respect to shares of Common Stock or the issuance by ▇▇▇▇ of any warrants,
options, subscriptions or purchase rights with respect to shares of Series A-1
Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, and the issuance by the Corporation
of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock,
or the issuance by ▇▇▇▇ of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock (or the
issuance of any warrants, options or any rights with respect to such convertible
or exchangeable securities) shall be deemed an issuance of such Common Stock or
a sale of such Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock at such
time if the Net Consideration Per Share (as hereinafter determined) which may be
received by the Corporation for any such Common Stock or ▇▇▇▇ for any such
Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall be less than the
Applicable Conversion Value for Series B Preferred Stock at the time of such
issuance. Any obligation, agreement or undertaking to issue warrants, options,
subscriptions or purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities at
any time in the future shall be deemed to be an issuance at the time such
obligation, agreement or undertaking is made or arises. No adjustment of the
Applicable Conversion Value shall be made under this paragraph 4(e)(i) upon the
issuance of any shares of Common Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C
Preferred Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants,
options, subscriptions or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any
conversion or exchange rights in any convertible securities if any adjustment
shall previously have been made upon the issuance of any such warrants, options
or subscriptions or purchase rights or upon the issuance of any convertible
securities (or upon the issuance of any warrants, options or any rights
therefor) as above provided. Any adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value
pursuant to this paragraph 4(e)(i)(B) which relates to warrants, options,
subscriptions or purchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock, Series
A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall be recomputed if, as, and
when such warrants, options, subscriptions or purchase rights expire or are
canceled without being exercised, so that the Applicable Conversion Value
effective immediately upon such cancellation or expiration shall be equal to the
Applicable Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to the time of the
issuance of the expired or canceled warrants, options, subscriptions or purchase
rights, adjusted as if the expired or canceled warrants, options, subscriptions
or purchase rights had not been issued.
-8-
For purposes of this paragraph 4(e)(i)(B), the "Net Consideration Per
Share" which may be received by the Corporation or ▇▇▇▇ shall mean the amount
equal to the total amount of consideration, if any, received by the Corporation
or ▇▇▇▇ for the issuance of such warrants, options, subscriptions or other
purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the minimum
amount of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation or ▇▇▇▇ upon
exercise or conversion thereof, divided by the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as the
case may be, that would be issued if all such warrants, options, subscriptions
or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities were
exercised, exchanged or converted. The "Net Consideration Per Share" which may
be received by the Corporation or ▇▇▇▇ shall be determined in each instance as
of the date of issuance of warrants, options, subscriptions or other purchase
rights or convertible or exchangeable securities without giving effect to any
possible future price adjustments or rate adjustments which may be applicable
with respect to such warrants, options, subscriptions or other purchase rights
or convertible or exchangeable securities.
(C) Consideration: Non-Cash Property. For purposes of this paragraph
---------------------------------
4(e)(i), if a part or all of the consideration received by the Corporation or
▇▇▇▇ in connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, Series
A-1 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or any of the securities described
in this paragraph 4(e)(i) consists of property other than cash, the Board of
Directors of the Corporation shall in its good faith discretion value such
property, whereupon such value shall be recorded on the books of the Corporation
as consideration for the property so received.
This paragraph 4(e)(i) shall not apply and no adjustment in the Applicable
Conversion Value shall be made hereunder upon an Extraordinary Common Stock
Event (as hereinafter defined in paragraph 4(e)(iii).
RESOLVED, that the Secretary of the Corporation is hereby authorized and
directed to make, execute and file with the Delaware Secretary of State in the
manner required by law, the Designation, and to take all other action he may
deem necessary or advisable to carry into effect the foregoing resolution.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have subscribed my name this ____ day of July, 2001.

---
1.2 Request for Registration.
------------------------
(a) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i)
July 6, 2004 or (ii) six months after the effective date of the first
registration statement for a public offering of securities of the Company (other
than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to
employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar
plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), a written request from Holders of at least
a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding ("Initiating
Holders"), requesting that the Company file a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering the registration of a portion of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding (having an aggregate offering price to the public of
at least $10,000,000), then the Company shall:
(i) within 10 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice
of such request to all Holders; and
(ii) effect as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60
days of the receipt of such request, or, in the event that the request is made
within the first month of a fiscal period, 90 days after the receipt of such
request, the registration of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request
to be registered, subject to the limitations of subsection 1.2(b), within 20
days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section
3.5.
(b) 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 subsection 1.2(a)
and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to
in subsection 1.2(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall
be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders.
In such event, the right of any Holder or other holder of securities of the
Company to include securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon
such Holder's or Holders' participation in such underwriting and the inclusion
of such Holder's or Holders' securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise
mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such
Holder or holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders and other holders
of securities of the Company proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for
such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section 1.2, if
the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the
Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities and
other holders of registration rights that would otherwise be underwritten
pursuant hereto, and the number of securities that may be included in the
underwriting on behalf of each Holder or other
-2-
holder shall be allocated pro-rata among the selling stockholders according to
--------
the total number of securities held by each such selling stockholder and
entitled to inclusion therein on the basis of a registration rights agreement
with the Company. For purposes of allocation of securities to be included in any
offering, for any selling stockholder that is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder (and in the case of a
partnership, any affiliated partnerships), or the estates and family members of
any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of
the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling stockholder," and
any pro-rata reduction with respect to such selling stockholder shall be based
--------
upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all
entities and individuals included in such selling stockholder, as defined in
this sentence.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to
Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2, a
certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer 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 stockholders for such registration
statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action
with respect to such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt
of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company
may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month period.
(d) In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to
take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) After the Company has effected two registrations pursuant
to this Section 1.2 and such registrations have been declared or ordered
effective;
(ii) During the period starting with the date 90 days prior to
the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date
90 days after the effective date of, a registration subject to Section 1.3
hereof; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all
reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or
(iii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant
to a request made pursuant to Section 1.4 below.
1.3 Piggyback Registration Rights.
-----------------------------
(a) Registration Rights. If the Company proposes to register any of
-------------------
its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the
public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration
relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock
plan, a registration effected pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or a
registration on any form that does not include substantially the same
information as would be required to be included in a registration statement
covering the sale of the Registrable Securities) the Company shall, at such
time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the
written request of each Holder given within 15 days after
-3-
mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 4.6, the
Company shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) below, cause to be
registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each
such Holder has requested to be registered.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives
------------
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the written notice given pursuant
to Section 1.3(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration
pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities
in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with
the Company and other holders of registration rights proposing to distribute
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by
the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3, if the
Company and the managing underwriter determine that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter
may limit or exclude entirely the Registrable Securities to be included in such
registration. The Company shall so advise all Holders and other holders
distributing Registrable Securities and other securities through such
underwriting, and the number of Registrable Securities and other securities that
may be included in the underwriting on behalf of each selling Holder and each
other holder distributing securities in such underwriting shall be allocated
pro-rata among all selling Holders and all such other holders according to the
--------
respective amounts of Registrable Securities and other securities entitled to
registration rights under an agreement with the Company held by such selling
Holders or holders at the time of filing the registration statement. To
facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the
Company may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest
100 shares.
1.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from the
---------------------
Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on
Form S-3 or any successor form and any related qualification or compliance with
respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or
Holders, then the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and
any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and 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 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 1.4: (1) if Form S-3 is
not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the Company shall furnish
to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3
Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have
the right to defer
-4-
the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than
90 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section
1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than
twice in any 12 month period; or (3) 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.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a 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. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not
be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to
Sections 1.2 or 1.3.
1.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
-------------------
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities
as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable
Securities.
1.6 Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses
------------------------
incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of
Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to this
Section 1 for each Holder, which right may be assigned only as provided in
Section 1.10, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and
qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable
thereto and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and no more
than one counsel for all the selling Holders, but excluding underwriting
discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
1.7 No Delay of Registration. 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 1.
1.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
---------------
in a registration statement under this Section 1:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless 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"): (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
-5-
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; and the
Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action,
as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
-------- -------
contained in this subsection 1.8(a) 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 case for
any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises
out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by any such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has
signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder
selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of
any such underwriter or other Holder, severally but not jointly, against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the
foregoing persons 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) arising 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; and each such Holder will pay any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this subsection 1.8(b), in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.8(b) 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). In no event shall any indemnity by any
Holder under this subsection 1.8(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
1.8 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 1.8, 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 one counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate 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
-6-
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 1.8 unless the failure to deliver notice is
materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action. Any omission to so
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 1.8.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.8 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 therein,
then the indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
provided that in no event shall any Holder be required to contribute under this
subsection 1.8(d) an aggregate amount in excess of the gross proceeds from the
offering received by such Holder less any amounts paid by the Holder pursuant to
subsection 1.8(b). 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.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict
with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement
shall control.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.8
shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.9 Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to
------------------------------
the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and
any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to
sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to
a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Securities Act Rule 144, at all times after the
effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the
offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act (at any
-7-
time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); (ii) a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports
and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be
reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC
that permits the selling of any such securities without registration.
1.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to
---------------------------------
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but
only with all related obligations) by a Holder to (i) constituent partners and
affiliates of a Holder or (ii) a transferee or assignee of such securities who,
after such assignment or transfer, holds at least ten thousand (10,000) shares
of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits,
dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations); provided: (a) the Company
is, within a reasonable time before such transfer, furnished with written notice
of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such
transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions
of Section 1.11 and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately
following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.
1.11 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date
--------------------------------------------
of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company
which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such
securities in any registration filed under Section 1.2 hereof, unless under the
terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such
securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of his
securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Securities of the Investors
which is included or (b) to make a demand registration which could result in
such registration statement being declared effective prior to the earlier of
either of the dates set forth in subsection 1.2 (a) or within ninety (90) days
after the effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.12 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, during
----------------------------
the period specified by the Company or any underwriter of common stock or other
securities of the Company, following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, the Holder shall not,
to the extent requested by the Company or such underwriter, directly or
indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation,
any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose
of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the
Company held by it as of the effective date except Registrable Securities
included in such registration; provided that:
(a) all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar
agreements; and
(b) such market stand-off time period shall not exceed 180 days
except as may be agreed by Holders of a majority of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities.
-8-
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-
transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder
(and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing
restriction) until the end of such period.
1.13 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to
----------------------------------
include Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2, 1.3,
or 1.4 shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) such date as a public trading
market shall exist for the Company's Common Stock and all shares of Registrable
Securities beneficially owned by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule
144 (without regard to Rule 144(k)) during any 90-day period, and (ii) the date
that is three years following the date of the Company's initial underwritten
public offering.
2. Covenants of the Company.
------------------------
2.1 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to
--------------------------------
each Investor, so long as such Investor shall be a Holder:
(a) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 120 days
after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an income statement for such
fiscal year, a balance sheet of the Company and statement of stockholders'

(c) as soon as practicable, but in any event 30 days prior to the

(d) Within 10 days after the end of each month, an unaudited

----------
such Investor shall be a Holder, at such Investor's expense, to visit and audit
the Company's properties, to examine its books of account and records and to
discuss the Company's affairs, finances and accounts with its officers.
2.3 Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements. The Company
-------------------------------------------------
will cause each person now or hereafter employed by it or any subsidiary with
access to confidential information to enter into a proprietary information and
inventions agreement substantially in the form approved by the Board of
Directors. In addition, the Company will cause consultants now
-9-
or hereafter employed by the Company or any subsidiary with access to
confidential information to enter into such proprietary information and
inventions agreement, as appropriate.
2.4 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in this
------------------------
Section 2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when the sale of
securities to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed by
the Company under the Securities Act is consummated or when the Company first
becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or
15(d) of the 1934 Securities Act, whichever event shall first occur.
2.5 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions
--------------------
specified in this paragraph 2.5, the Company hereby grants to each Investor a
right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares
(as hereinafter defined). An Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right
of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its partners and affiliates in
such proportions as it deems appropriate.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities
convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital
stock (for purposes of this Section 2.5 only, "Shares"), the Company shall first
make an offering of such Shares to each Investor in accordance with the
following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by certified mail ("Notice")
to the Investor stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (ii)
the number of such Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any,
upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.
(b) Within 30 calendar days after giving of the Notice, the Investor
may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the
Notice, up to that portion of such Shares that equals the proportion that the
number of shares of common stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock then held, by such Investor bears to the total number of
shares of common stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion
and exercise of all outstanding convertible or exercisable securities, options
or warrants).
(c) If all Shares referred to in the Notice that Investors are
entitled to obtain pursuant to subsection 2.5(b) are not elected to be obtained
as provided in subsection 2.5(b) hereof, the Company may, during the 60-day
period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 2.5(b)
hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Shares to any person or
persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the
offeree than those specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into
an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement
is not consummated within 45 days of the execution thereof, the right provided
hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered
unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance herewith.
(d) The right of first offer in this paragraph 2.5 shall not be
applicable (i) to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock approved by the
Company's Board of Directors to officers, directors, employees or consultants
for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services; (ii) to or
after consummation of a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering of shares
of Common Stock, registered under the Act pursuant to a registration
-10-
statement on Form S-1 or Form SB-2; (iii) to the issuance of securities pursuant
to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities (provided
the original convertible or exercisable securities were subject to the right of
first offer); (iv) to the issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide
business acquisition of or by the Company approved by the Board of Directors,
whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or
otherwise; or (v) to the issuance of securities in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company.
(e) The right of first offer set forth in this Section 2.5 may
not be assigned or transferred, except by each Investor to any wholly owned
subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation or entity that is, within the
meaning of the Securities Act, controlling, controlled by or under common
control with, any such Investor.
(f) Termination of Rights of First Offer. This right of first
------------------------------------
offer shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when the sale of
securities to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed by
the Company under the Securities Act is consummated.

1. Board of Directors.
------------------
(a) Until the provisions of this Section 1 cease to be
---------
effective, each Stockholder shall vote all of his, her or its Stockholder
Shares and any other voting securities of the Company over which such
Stockholder has voting control and shall take all other necessary or
desirable actions within his control (whether in his capacity as a
stockholder, director, member of a board committee or officer of the
Company or otherwise, and including, without limitation, attendance at
meetings in person or by proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum and
execution of written consents in lieu of meetings), and the Company shall
take all necessary and desirable actions within its control (including,
without limitation, calling special board and stockholder meetings), so
that:
(i) the authorized number of directors on the Board shall
be determined by, and may be increased or decreased by, the Board,
provided, however, that the authorized number of directors on the Board
-------- -------
shall initially be established at five;
(ii) the following persons shall be elected to the Board:
(A) One member of the Board shall be designated by
the majority of the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Director");
provided, however, that such person shall
-------- ------
initially be elected within 30 days after the
First Closing contemplated by the Equity Purchase
Agreement;
(B) Two members of the Board shall be designated by
▇▇▇▇ (the "▇▇▇▇ Directors"); and
(C) the remaining members of the Board shall be
designated by ▇▇▇▇ (so long as no Event of
Default, as defined below, has occurred)
following consultation with and good faith
consideration of the stated interests of the
Investor, it being understood that these two
nominees are intended to be good, capable and
independent.
(iii) the removal from the Board (with or without cause) of
the Series B Director or the ▇▇▇▇ Directors shall be made only upon the written
request of the person or persons originally entitled to designate such director
pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii) above;
----------------
(iv) in the event that any person ceases to serve as a
member of the Board during his or her term of office, the resulting vacancy on
the Board shall be filled by a representative designated by the person or
persons originally entitled to designate such director pursuant to Section
-------
1(a)(ii) above; and
--------
(v) In the event that the Investor elects not to designate
any Investor Director in accordance with Section 1(a)(ii)(A) above, the
Stockholders and the Company agree not to vote to fill such vacancy other than
with an individual designated by Investor.
-2-
(B) The Company shall pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
each director in connection with attending regular and special meetings of the
Board and any committee thereof.
2. Conflicting Agreements. Each Stockholder represents that he, she or
----------------------
it has not granted and is not a party to any proxy, voting trust or other
agreement that is inconsistent with or conflicts with the provisions of this
Agreement, and no holder of Stockholder Shares shall grant any proxy or become
party to any voting trust or other agreement that is inconsistent with or
conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement.
3. Restrictions on Transfer of Stockholder Shares. A Stockholder may
----------------------------------------------
freely sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any interest in
any Stockholder Shares (a "Transfer") except as provided in this Section 3 and
---------
the other provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 3 only
"Stockholder" means any Stockholder other than ▇▇▇▇.
---------------
(a) First Refusal Right. A Stockholder may only Transfer
-------------------
Stockholder Shares to a Category I or Category II Company if the following
conditions are met:
(i) At least 45 days prior to making any Transfer of
any Stockholder Shares to a Category I or Category II Company, the transferring
Stockholder (the "Transferring Stockholder") shall deliver a written notice (the
"Offer Notice") to the Company, the Investor and the Other Stockholders,
specifying in reasonable detail the proposed number and class of Stockholder
Shares to be transferred, the identity of the proposed transferee(s) of such
shares, and the proposed terms (including price and whether paid in one lump sum
or in installments) and conditions of the Transfer (the "Minimum Sale Terms").
(ii) The Company may elect to purchase up to all of
the Stockholder Shares specified in the Offer Notice at the price and on the
terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to the
Transferring Stockholder as soon as practical but in any event within 10 days
after the delivery of the Offer Notice.
(iii) If the Company has not elected to purchase all
of the Stockholder Shares within such 10-day period, the Investor and the Other
Stockholders may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the applicable
class(es) of such Stockholder Shares not purchased by the Company at the price
and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice by delivering written notice of
such election to the Transferring Stockholder as soon as practical, but in any
event within 30 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. If the Investor and the
Other Stockholders have in the aggregate elected to purchase more than the
number of Stockholder Shares being offered by the Transferring Stockholder and
not being purchased by the Company, the shares shall be allocated among the
Investor and the Other Stockholders electing to purchase shares according to
such Person's pro rata share. Each Person's pro rata share for this Section
--- ---- --- ---- -------
3(b)(iii) shall equal the product of (x) the quotient determined by dividing the
---------
percentage of Stockholder Shares (on an as converted basis) owned by such Person
by the aggregate percentage of Stockholder Shares (on an as converted basis)
owned by the Investor and such Other Stockholders who have elected to
participate in such Transfer and (y) the number of Stockholder Shares (on an as
converted basis) to be sold in the contemplated Transfer.
-3-
(iv) If the Company, the Investor or any Other
Stockholders have elected to purchase Stockholder Shares from the Transferring
Stockholder, the transfer of such shares shall be consummated as soon as
practical after the delivery of the election notices, but in any event within 45
days after the delivery of the Offer Notice. If the Company, the Investor and
the Other Stockholders have not elected to purchase all of the Stockholder
Shares being offered, the Transferring Stockholder may, within 120 days after
the delivery of the Offer Notice, transfer such Stockholder Shares to one or
more Category I or Category II Companies at a price no less than the price per
share specified in the Offer Notice and on other terms no more favorable to the

4. Restrictions on Transfer of Stockholder Shares by ▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ may
------------------------------------------------------
freely Transfer Stockholder Shares except as provided in this Section 4.
---------
(a) Consent Right.
-------------
(i) Subject to Section 4(c), ▇▇▇▇ shall not transfer
any Stockholder Shares to either a Category I or Category II Company (in one
transaction or any series of transactions) without the prior written consent of
the Investor if such Transfer represents more than 20% of the Company's then
outstanding Capital Stock (on an as-converted basis); provided that in the case
of a sale to a Category I Company, such Category I Company shall be entitled to
purchase Stockholder Shares representing less than 20% of the Company's then
outstanding Capital Stock (on an as-converted basis) and only if such Category I
Company does not obtain a seat on the Board of Directors of the Company and such
Category I Company does not obtain any of the rights or privileges set forth in
Section 1(b) of that certain Statement of Designations of Rights, Preferences
and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
(ii) Notwithstanding the preceding subparagraph (i)
of this Section 4(a), if ▇▇▇▇ receives an offer from a Category II Company to
purchase (in one transaction or any series of transactions) Stockholder Shares
owned by ▇▇▇▇, which Stockholder Shares constitute greater than 20% of the
Company's then outstanding Capital Stock (on an as-converted basis) following
such sale, and such offer is at a price per Stockholder Share greater than three
times the price Investor paid for its Stockholder Shares (on an as-converted
basis) (the "Category II Terms"), then the Investor's prior written consent
shall not be required for such Transfer; provided that the Investor shall have a
right of first refusal to purchase all of such shares as set forth in paragraph
(b) of this Section 4 and provided, further, that in the event of a sale on
Category II Terms, the purchaser of such shares shall not be entitled to any of
the rights or privileges set forth in Section 1(b) of that certain Statement of
Designations of Rights, Preferences and Limitations of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock.
(b) Right of First Refusal. If the Board of the Investor grants
----------------------
the authorization referred to in 5.2.10 and ▇▇▇▇ intends either (i) to make any
Transfer on Category II Terms, or
-5-
(ii) to make any Transfer which represents more than 20% of the Company's
then outstanding Capital Stock (on an as-converted basis) to a party which
is not a Category I or Category II company, then, at least 45 days prior to
making any such Transfer, ▇▇▇▇ shall deliver a written notice (the "▇▇▇▇
Notice") to the Investor, specifying in reasonable detail the proposed
number and class of Stockholder Shares to be transferred by ▇▇▇▇, the
identity of the proposed transferee(s) of such shares, and the proposed
terms (including price and whether paid in one lump sum or in installments)
and conditions of the Transfer (the "▇▇▇▇ Minimum Sale Terms").
(i) The Investor may elect to purchase the Stockholder
Shares specified in the ▇▇▇▇ Notice at the price and on the terms specified
therein by delivering written notice of such election to ▇▇▇▇ as soon as
practical but in any event within 10 days after the delivery of the ▇▇▇▇
Notice.
(ii) If Investor elects to purchase the Stockholder Shares
specified in the ▇▇▇▇ Notice, then the transfer of such shares shall be
consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice.
If the Investor has elected not to purchase all of the Stockholder Shares
being offered, then (x) ▇▇▇▇ may, within 120 days after the delivery of the
▇▇▇▇ Notice, and subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 4, transfer such
-------------
Stockholder Shares to one or more third parties at a price no less than the
price per share specified in the ▇▇▇▇ Notice and on other terms no more
favorable to the transferees than offered to the Investor in the ▇▇▇▇
Notice and (y) the terms of paragraph (d) below shall apply.
(c) Participation Rights. If there is an offer received by ▇▇▇▇ that
--------------------
is not prohibited by the terms of paragraph (a) of this Section 4 or is not
on Category II Terms, then ▇▇▇▇ may make a Transfer of Stockholder Shares
if the following conditions are met:
(i) At least 45 days prior to any Transfer of Stockholder
Shares, ▇▇▇▇ shall deliver a written notice (the "▇▇▇▇ Sale Notice") to the
Investor specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective
transferee(s), the number and class of Stockholders Shares being
transferred and the terms (including price and whether paid in one lump sum
or installments) and conditions of the Transfer.
(ii) The Investor may elect to participate in the proposed
Transfer by delivering written notice to ▇▇▇▇ within 10 days after delivery
of the ▇▇▇▇ Sale Notice. If the Investor elects to participate in such
Transfer, the Investor shall be entitled to sell in the contemplated
Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms with respect to each
class of Stockholder Shares to be sold by ▇▇▇▇, a number of Stockholder
Shares of each class equal to the product of (x) the quotient determined by
dividing the percentage of Stockholder Shares of such class owned by the
Investor by the aggregate percentage of Stockholder Shares (on an as
converted basis) owned by ▇▇▇▇ and the Investor and (y) the number of
Stockholder Shares (on an as converted basis) to be sold in the
contemplated Transfer.
(iii) ▇▇▇▇ shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the
Investor in any contemplated Transfer under this paragraph (d), and ▇▇▇▇
shall not transfer any of its Stockholder Shares to the
-6-
prospective transferee(s) if the prospective transferee(s) declines to allow the
participation of the Investor.
5. Legend. Each certificate evidencing Stockholder Shares and each
------
certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Stockholder
Shares (if such shares remain Stockholder Shares as defined herein after such
transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY ___, 2001, AMONG THE ISSUER OF
SUCH SECURITIES AND CERTAIN OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS. A COPY OF SUCH
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY
TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST."
The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Stockholder
Shares outstanding prior to the date hereof. The Company shall cause the legend
set forth above to be removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which
cease to be Stockholder Shares.
6. Public Offering. In the event that the Board and the holders of a
---------------
majority of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock (voting on an as converted
basis) approve an initial public offering and sale of Capital Stock for cash (a
"Public Offering") pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, the Stockholders shall take all reasonably necessary or
desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering. In
the event that such Public Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the Company's
capital structure shall adversely affect the marketability of the offering, each
Stockholder shall consent to and vote for a recapitalization, reorganization
and/or exchange of Capital Stock into securities that the managing underwriters,
the Board and holders of a majority of the Stockholder Shares find acceptable
and shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the
consummation of the recapitalization, reorganization and/or exchange; provided,
--------
however, that (i) the resulting securities reflect and are consistent with the
-------
relative rights and preferences among the outstanding classes of securities set
forth in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation as in effect immediately
prior to such Public Offering and such recapitalization, reorganization or
exchange is otherwise fair and reasonable to the Company and the holders of each
class of the Company's equity securities taking into account each of the
relative rights and preferences and (ii) the Company shall reimburse each
Stockholder for the reasonable expenses incurred by such Stockholder in taking
such actions.
7. Sale of the Company.
-------------------
(a) If the Board and the holders of the outstanding shares of Capital
Stock approve a Sale of the Company, each holder of Capital Stock shall vote
for, consent to and raise no objections against such Sale of the Company. If the
Sale of the Company is structured as a: (i) merger or consolidation, each holder
of Capital Stock shall waive any dissenters' rights, appraisal rights or similar
rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of
-7-
stock, each holder of Capital Stock shall agree to sell all of his, her or its
Capital Stock and rights to acquire Capital Stock on the terms and conditions
approved by the Board and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Capital Stock. Each holder of Capital Stock shall take all necessary or
desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as
requested by the Company.
(b) The obligations of the holders of Capital Stock with respect to
the Sale of the Company are subject to the satisfaction of the following
conditions: (i) upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company, each share of
a class of Capital Stock shall receive the same form of consideration and the
same amount of consideration as the other shares of that class of Capital Stock;
(ii) if any holders of a class of Capital Stock are given an option as to the
form and amount of consideration to be received, each holder of such class of
Capital Stock shall be given the same option; (iii) each holder of then
currently exercisable rights to acquire shares of a class of Capital Stock shall
be given an opportunity to either (A) exercise such rights prior to the
consummation of the Sale of the Company and participate in such sale as holders
of such class of Capital Stock or (B) upon the consummation of the Sale of the
Company, receive in exchange for such rights consideration equal to the amount
determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per share of a
class of Capital Stock received by holders of such class of Capital Stock in
connection with the Sale of the Company less the exercise price per share of
such class of Capital Stock of such rights to acquire such class of Capital
Stock by (2) the number of shares of such class of Capital Stock represented by
such rights; and (iv) no holder of Capital Stock shall be obligated to make any
representations or warranties in connection with such Sale of the Company (other
than representations as to itself and its ownership of the Capital Stock held by
such holder) or to provide indemnities with respect to such Sale of the Company
to the extent the maximum obligations of such holder in respect of such
indemnities would exceed the consideration received by such holder in such Sale
of the Company.
