A. Certain of the Holders have purchased or will purchase shares of

Amended and Restated Rights Agreement dated as of July 13, 1998 (the "Existing
Rights Agreement"), and wish to amend and restate the Existing Rights Agreement,
upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1
Certain Definitions
-------------------
Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following
-------------------
terms shall have the following respective meanings:
1.1 "SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act.
<PAGE>
1.2 "Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, as the
same shall be in effect from time to time.
1.3 "Initial Public Offering" or "IPO" means the Company's sale of its
Common Stock in a bona fide, firm commitment underwriting pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act yielding gross proceeds to the
Company of at least $25,000,000.00 and a per share offering price of at least
$7.00 (as adjusted for stock splits and the like).
1.4 The terms "register", "registered" and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Securities Act (as defined below), and the declaration or
ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement.
1.5 "Registrable Securities" means (i) the shares of Common Stock of
the Company issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series
B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred of the
Company (such shares of Common Stock, the "Stock"), and (ii) any other shares of
the Company's Common Stock issued as (or issuable upon conversion or exercise of
any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other
distribution with respect to or in exchange for or replacement of the Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred of the Company or the Stock, excluding in all cases, however, any
Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which a Holder's
rights under this Agreement are not assigned; provided, however, that
Registrable Securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and so
long as, they have not been (A) sold to or through a broker or dealer or
underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction or (B)
sold in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all
transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect thereto are removed
upon the consummation of such sale.
1.6 "Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, as the same
shall be in effect from time to time.
1.7 An "Affiliate" of an entity referenced herein shall mean (i) any
entity who controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such
entity, (ii) any constituent partner or shareholder of such entity, (iii) all

or adopted), any spouses of such siblings, ancestors and descendants, any
siblings of such ancestors and descendants, and any trust established solely for
the benefit of one or more of such individual's spouse, siblings, ancestors
and/or descendants.

Section 2
PIGGYBACK RIGHTS
----------------
2.1 Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time, the
----------------------
Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities for its own
account in an underwritten public offering, the Company will:
(i) promptly give to the Holders written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification
under blue sky laws or other compliance), and underwriting, all the Registrable
Securities (subject to cutback as set forth in Section 2.2) specified in a
written request or requests made within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
written notice from the Company by any Holder.
2.2 Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant
------------
to this Section 2 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. If any Holder proposes to distribute its securities
through such underwriting, such Holder shall (together with the Company and any
other shareholders distributing their 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 2, if the managing underwriter determines that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities to
be included in such registration. The Company shall so advise the Holder and
the other shareholders distributing their securities through such underwriting
pursuant to piggyback registration rights similar to this Section 2, and the
number of shares of Registrable Securities and other securities that may be
included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among the
Holder and any other participating shareholders in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such
Holder and other securities held by other shareholders and entitled to
registration rights at the time of filing the registration statement, provided
that the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by selling Holders
included in the offering shall not be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the
total amount of securities included in that offering unless the offering is the
Initial Public Offering of the Company's securities, in which case all
Registrable Securities held by Holders may be excluded. In the event the
managing underwriter does determine that marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten (the "Cutback"), such Cutback shall
be applied first to any participating shareholders other than Holders of
Registrable Securities before it shall be applied to Holders of Registrable
Securities, subject to the above mentioned twenty percent (20%) reduction limit,
if at all. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above
provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares
allocated to each Holder or other shareholder to the nearest 100 shares. If any
Holder or other shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting,
he or she may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and
the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be
transferred in a public distribution prior to one-hundred eighty (180) days
after the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto.

<PAGE>
2.3 Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the
-------------------------------
right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
2.4 Definition of Holder. Solely for purposes of this Section 2 and
--------------------
for so long as he remains employed by the Company, Ron Higgins shall be deemed
to be a "Holder" and all shares of the Company's capital stock held by him shall
be deemed to be "Registrable Securities."
Section 3
Demand Registration
-------------------
3.1 Demand Registration. Beginning on the earlier of (i) February 19,
-------------------
2001, or (ii) one year after the Company's Initial Public Offering, if Holders
of more than 66-2/3% of the Registrable Securities request that the Company file
a registration statement for the lesser of 50% of the outstanding Registrable
Securities or a number of shares yielding gross aggregate proceeds in excess of
$15,000,000, then the Company will (x) promptly give written notice of the
proposed registration to all other Holders, and (y) use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such shares to be registered (together with any Registrable
Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in
a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt
of such written notice from the Company); provided, however, that (a) the
Company shall not be required to effect any such registration within one-hundred
eighty (180) days prior to its good faith estimate of the date of the filing of,
and one-hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of, a
registration statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of the
Company's securities, (b) such registration obligation shall be deferred for not
more than sixty days if the Company furnishes the requesting holders with a
certificate of the President of the Company stating that in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors it would be detrimental to the Company or its
shareholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, but
the Company shall not be entitled to such deferral more than twice in any 12-
month period and (c) the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than a
total of two such demand registrations. Any such registration shall be firmly
underwritten by an underwriter of nationally recognized standing which shall be
mutually agreeable to the Company and a majority in interest of the Holders
requesting the registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company, the managing underwriter and the Holders making the request. The
Registrable Securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration,
and such Registrable Securities shall not be transferred in a public
distribution prior to ninety (90) days after the effective date of such
registration; provided, however, that, if by the withdrawal of such Registrable
Securities, a greater number of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may
be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by
the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included
Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include additional
Registrable Securities. Holders shall be so entitled to include additional
Registrable Securities in the registration upon written notice within 10 days of
such offer being made.
3.2 Underwritten Public Offering. The Company shall enter into an
----------------------------
underwriting agreement with an investment banking firm or firms containing
representations,
4
<PAGE>
warranties, indemnities and agreements then customarily included by an issuer in
underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions. The Company
shall not cause the registration under the Securities Act of any other shares of
its Common Stock to become effective (other than registration of an employee
stock plan, or registration in connection with any Rule 145 or similar
transaction) during the effectiveness of a registration requested hereunder for
an underwritten public offering if, in the judgment of the underwriter or
underwriters, marketing factors would adversely affect the price of the
Registrable Securities subject to such underwritten registration.
3.3 Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of
-----------
any request to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3, the
Company is engaged, or has fixed plans to engage within one-hundred eighty (180)
days of the request, in a registered public offering or any other activity that,
in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, would
be adversely affected by the requested registration to the material detriment of
the Company, then the Company may, at its option, direct that such request be
delayed for a period not in excess of one-hundred eighty (180) days from the
effective date of such offering, or the date of commencement of such other
material activity, as the case may be. Such rights to delay a request to be
exercised by the Company may not be exercised more than once in any twelve month
period.
Section 4
FORM S-3 REGISTRATION
---------------------
4.1 Registrations on Form S-3. Holders shall be entitled to request
-------------------------
(an "S-3 Registration Request") an unlimited number of registrations of
Registrable Securities then owned by such requesting Holders on a Form S-3
registration statement or any successor form under the Securities Act (an "S-3
Registration"). The S-3 Registration Request must be made in writing and the S-3
Registration Request shall: (i) specify the number of shares intended to be
offered and sold; (ii) express the present intention of the requesting Holders
to offer or cause the offering of such shares for distribution; and (iii)
contain the undertaking of the requesting Holders to provide all such
information and materials and take all such action as may be required in order
to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of the SEC and
to obtain any desired acceleration of the effective date of such registration
statement. The Company shall, as soon as practicable, (a) promptly give written
notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders, and (b) file an S-3
Registration and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all such
qualifications and compliance as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of the requesting
Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in the S-3 Registration Request
(together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in
such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company
within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company),
within 45 days after receipt of such written notice by the Company; provided,
--------
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
-------
registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 4 if: (i)
Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the requesting Holders; (ii) the
requesting Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the
Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable
Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate gross price to the
public of less than $1,000,000; or (iii) the Company has, within the twelve (12)
month period preceding
5
<PAGE>
the date of such request, already effected two registrations on Form S-3 for any
Holder pursuant to this Section 4.
4.2 Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of
-----------
any request to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4, the
Company is engaged, or has fixed plans to engage in any activity that, in the
good faith determination of the Board of Directors, would be adversely affected
by the requested registration to the material detriment of the Company, then the
Company may, at its option, direct that such request be delayed for a period not
in excess of forty-five (45) days from the effective date of such material
activity. Such rights to delay a request to be exercised by the Company may not
be exercised more than once in any twelve month period.
Section 5
OBLIGATIONS OF COMPANY
----------------------
Whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement
to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall: (i) prepare and, as soon as possible, file with
the SEC a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities, and
use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective and to remain effective until the earlier of the sale of the
Registrable Securities so registered or one hundred twenty (120) days subsequent
to the effective date of such registration provided, however, that if the
-------- -------
Holders requesting a demand registration pursuant to an S-3 Registration
pursuant to Section 4 state in their request that they desire a shelf
registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a "Shelf
Registration"), then the Company shall, solely in the first such instance, cause
such registration statement to be a Shelf Registration and shall cause such
registration statement to become effective and to remain effective until the
earlier of the date of the sale of the Registerable Securities so registered or
nine (9) months subsequent to the effective date of such registration statement;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to make and to keep such registration statement effective and to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or
other disposition of all securities proposed to be registered in such
registration statement until the earlier of the sale of the Registrable
Securities so registered or one hundred twenty (120) days subsequent to the
effective date of such registration statement, or, in the case of a Shelf
Registration, until the earlier of the sale of the Registerable Securities so
registered or nine (9) months subsequent to the effective date of such
registration statement; (iii) furnish to any Holder such number of copies of any
prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus and any amended or supplemented
prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, as such
Holder may reasonably request in order to effect the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities to be offered and sold, but only while the Company shall
be required under the provisions hereof to cause the registration statement to
remain current; (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or blue sky laws of such states as Holder shall reasonably request,
maintain any such registration or qualification current until the earlier of the
sale of the Registrable Securities so registered or one hundred twenty (120)
days subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement, or, in the
case of a Shelf Registration, until the earlier of the sale of the Registrable
Securities so registered or nine (9) months subsequent to the effective date
6
<PAGE>
of such registration statement and, take any and all other actions either
necessary or reasonably advisable to enable Holders to consummate the public
sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities in jurisdictions where
such Holders desire to effect such sales or other disposition; (v) cause all
Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each
securities exchange on which the same class of securities of the Company are
then listed; and (vi) take all such other actions either necessary or reasonably
desirable to permit the Registrable Securities held by a Holder to be registered
and disposed of in accordance with the method of disposition described herein,
including causing the Company's senior management to use their commercially
reasonable efforts in the marketing of any securities pursuant to any
underwritten public offering so registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be required to register or to qualify an offering of the
Registrable Securities under the laws of a state if as a condition to so doing
the Company is required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent
to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction, unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction.
Section 6
EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION
------------------------
Except with respect to the Demand Registrations and the S-3
Registrations set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof for which the Company shall
pay for only the first two Demand Registrations and the first two S-3
Registrations initiated pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay all of
the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any registration statement
that is initiated pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all
SEC and blue sky registration and filing fees, printing expenses, transfer agent
and registrar fees, the fees and disbursements of the Company's outside counsel,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Holders and
independent accountants (the "Registration Expenses"). If a registration
proceeding is begun upon the request of Holders pursuant to Section 3 or 4 but
such request is subsequently withdrawn, then the Holders of Registrable
Securities to have been registered may either: (i) bear all Registration
Expenses of such proceeding, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares to
have been registered, in which case the Company shall be deemed not to have
effected a registration pursuant to Section 3 or 4, as applicable, of this
Agreement; or (ii) require the Company to bear all Registration Expenses of such
proceeding, in which case the Company shall be deemed to have effected a
registration pursuant to Section 3 or 4, as applicable, of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if at the time of the withdrawal, the
Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or
prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their
request, then the Holders shall be required to pay one-half (1/2) of any of said
Registration Expenses, unless the Company shall have failed to perform any of
its obligations with respect to such registration proceeding in which case the
holders shall bear none of the Registration Expenses. In such case, the Company
shall be deemed not to have effected a registration pursuant to Section 3 or 4,
as applicable, of this Agreement. The Holders shall pay all of the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration or S-3 Registration
initiated pursuant to this Agreement after the filing of the first two Demand
Registrations and the first two S-3 Registrations. In addition, any
underwriting discounts, fees and disbursements of any additional counsel to the
Holders, selling commissions and stock transfer or other taxes applicable to the
Registrable Securities registered on behalf of Holders shall be borne by the
Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.

Section 7
INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
7.1 The Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
-----------
indemnify Holders and each person controlling Holders within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each underwriter if any, of the Company's
securities, with respect to any registration, qualification or compliance which
has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of
the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened,
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of
a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to
any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the
Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance,
and the Company will reimburse Holders and each person controlling Holders, and
each underwriter, if any, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or
controlling person or underwriter seeking indemnification expressly for use
therein; and provided further, that the indemnity provided in this Section 7.1
with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, arising
from a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration hereunder,
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in any preliminary or
final prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) of the Company shall not
inure to the benefit of or be available to the Holders or any other person if a
copy of the prospectus, as further amended or supplemented, in which such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was
corrected is sent or given to those persons asserting such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions within the time required by the Act and the
Rules and Regulations thereto.
7.2 Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if
-------
Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to
which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected (the
"Indemnifying Holder"), indemnify the Company, each of its directors and
officers and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act, and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's
securities with respect to any registration, qualification or compliance which
has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), arising out of
or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular
or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by
such Indemnifying Holder of any rule or regulation
8
<PAGE>
promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to such Indemnifying Holder in
connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the
Indemnifying Holder will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers and
each person controlling Company and each underwriter, if any, for any legal or
any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration,
qualification or compliance, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Indemnifying Holder expressly for
use therein, provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section
7.2 exceed the gross proceeds of the offering received by such Indemnifying
Holder; and provided further, that the indemnity provided in this Section 7.2
with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, arising
from a sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration hereunder,
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in any preliminary or
final prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) of the Company shall not
inure to the benefit of or be available to the Company or any other person if
the Holder corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission and sent it to the Company for inclusion in the
prospectus within the time required by the Act and the Rules and Regulations
thereto.
7.3 Defense of Claims. Each party entitled to indemnification under
-----------------
this Section 7 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required
to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any
such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation,
shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party
-------- -------
shall pay such expense if representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel
retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding, and provided further that the
-------- -------
failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 unless
the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying
Party's ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of
any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified
Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be
required to indemnify any Indemnified Party with respect to any settlement
entered into without such Indemnifying Party's prior written consent.
Section 8
RULE 144 REPORTING
------------------
9
<PAGE>
With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and
regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable
Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from
and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the IPO;
(b) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other

Section 12
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
----------------------
The Company hereby grants to each Holder the right of first refusal to
purchase, pro rata, a portion of "New Securities" (as defined in this Section
12) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. Each
Holder's pro rata share, for purposes of this right of first refusal, is the
ratio of (X) the number of shares of Common Stock owned (or issuable upon the
conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred,
Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred held) by such Holder immediately after
the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to (Y) the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (or issuable upon the conversion of all
outstanding Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D
Preferred and Series E Preferred) immediately after the Closing, provided,
however, that in the event that any Holder elects not to purchase its pro rata
share in accordance with the above (a "Non-Participating Holder"), then each
participating Holder purchasing New Securities may purchase, on a pro rata basis
among the participating Holders, such Non-Participating Holder's pro rata share.
This right of first refusal shall be subject to the following provisions:
(a) "New Securities" shall mean any Common Stock and Preferred
--------------
Stock of the Company whether or not authorized on the date hereof, and rights,
options or warrants to purchase such Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and
securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said
Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that "New Securities" does
not include the following:
(i) shares of Common Stock, or options to purchase shares of
Common Stock, issued or granted to directors, employees, vendors or consultants
of the Company pursuant to option plans or other employee benefit plans or
arrangements approved by
13
<PAGE>
a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, including the Option Plan
(as that term is defined in Section 2.2(c) of the Purchase Agreement);
(ii) shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon
conversion of the Company's Preferred Stock;
(iii) securities of the Company offered to the public pursuant
to a bona fide public offering;
(iv) securities of the Company issued pursuant to an
acquisition of or by the Company whether by merger, consolidation or purchase or
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or another entity,
or other reorganization;
(v) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in
connection with any stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization by the
Company; or
(vi) securities of the Company that are purchased pursuant to
the rights provided in this Section 12.
(b) In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of
New Securities, it shall give each Holder written notice of its intention,
describing the type of New Securities, the price, and the general terms upon
which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Holder shall have ten (10)
business days from the date such notice is given to agree to purchase its pro
rata share of such New Securities or any portion thereof at the price and upon
the general terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the
Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
(c) In the event that the Holders' aggregate pro rata exercised portion
is less than the amount of New Securities proposed to be issued in the notice
referred to above, the Company shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to sell (or
enter into an agreement pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered
thereby shall be closed, if at all, within thirty (30) days from the date of
such agreement) the New Securities respecting which the Holders' rights were not
exercised at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchaser
thereof than specified in the Company's notice. In the event the Company has not
sold the New Securities within such sixty (60) day period (or sold and issued
New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the
date of such agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New
Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Holders in the
manner provided above.
(d) The right of first refusal granted under this Agreement shall
terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the effective date of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation in which fifty percent (50%) or more of
the voting power of the Company is disposed of, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company unless the Company's
shareholders, as of the date of this Agreement, control more than fifty percent
(50%) of the surviving entity; (ii) the closing date of an IPO; or (iii) the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
