--------
Partnership (the "Investor").
--------
WHEREAS, the Investor has indicated a desire to purchase shares of
Common Stock from the Company and the Company has indicated a desire to sell
shares of Common Stock to the Investor on the terms set forth herein.

agrees to purchase from the Company that number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock that is the lesser of (X) 400,000/1/ and (Y) $4,950,000 divided by
the initial public offering price less the underwriting discount in the IPO (as

-----------
the Company's offices concurrently with the closing of the Company's initial
public offering (the "IPO") or, if later, upon satisfaction or waiver of each of
the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 (the "Closing"). At the Closing,
-------
the Company will deliver the Stock to the Investor against payment of the
purchase price therefor by check payable to the order of the Company or by wire

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby
---------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Investor that:
------------------
/1/ The 400,000 shares have been calculated assuming the Company effects a

the event that the Company does not effect this three-for-one stock split, the

Statement"), there are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or, to
---------
the best of Company's knowledge, any basis therefor or threat thereof, against
or affecting the Company, that, either in any case or in the aggregate, would

2.6 Compliance with Other Documents. The execution and delivery of
-------------------------------
this Agreement, consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and
compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will not conflict with or result
in a breach of the terms and conditions of, or constitute a default under the
Restated Certificate or Bylaws of the Company or of any contract or agreement to

condition or results of operations.

represents and warrants that:

-----------------------------------------
6.1 Agreement Not to Transfer.
-------------------------
(a) Prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, the Investor
shall not, directly or indirectly, Transfer or offer to Transfer any shares of
the Stock unless the Company consents to such Transfer and the transferee agrees
to be bound by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transfers may be
made by Investor to any other member of the Andersen Consulting worldwide
organization, provided such Transfers are in compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations.
(b) In order to enforce transfer restrictions under applicable
securities laws, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to the Stock until the end of the applicable Rule 144 holding period.
(c) As used in this Agreement, the term "Transfer" shall mean any
sale, transfer, assignment, hypothecation, encumbrance or other disposition,
whether voluntary or involuntary, of shares of the Stock. In the case of a
hypothecation, the Transfer shall be deemed to occur both at the time of the
initial pledge and at any pledgee's sale or a sale by any secured creditor or a
retention by the secured creditor of the pledged shares of the Stock in complete
or partial satisfaction of the indebtedness for which the shares of the Stock
are security.
6.2 Market Stand-Off. In addition to the transfer restrictions
----------------
(which shall in no way be limited by the following), in connection with any
underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to
an effective registration statement filed under the Act, the Investor shall not
Transfer or offer to Transfer any shares of the Stock, other than pursuant to
such registration statement, without the prior written consent of the Company
and its underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in
----------------
effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final
prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such
underwriters; provided, however, that (i) such Market Stand-Off shall not
-------- -------
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, and (ii) the Investor shall be subject to
the Market Stand-Off only if the officers, directors and other stockholders of
the Company are also subject to similar restrictions. In order to enforce the
Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to the Stock until the end of the applicable stand-off period.
6.3 Notice of Intention to Transfer. In the event the Investor plans
-------------------------------
to Transfer shares of the Stock in one or more transactions, the Investor shall
inform the Company
4
<PAGE>
of such intention to Transfer such shares five (5) days prior to such Transfer.
An announcement of any such Transfer shall be at the discretion of the Company
through a joint press release which is reasonably acceptable to the Company.
Investor shall agree that any transfer, sale or other disposition of the
Company's Common Stock shall be through an orderly disposition.
6.4 Voting Agreements. The Investor agrees to vote all shares of
-----------------
Voting Securities owned by it on the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or a merger in which the Company is not the surviving
entity and take action with respect to any third party tender offer (a "Change
in Control Proposal"), in accordance with the direction of Portal's Chief
Executive Officer. The Investor, as a holder of Voting Securities, shall be
present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of shareholders of the Company
at which a Change in Control Proposal is brought before the shareholders so that
all shares of Voting Securities beneficially owned by it may be counted for the
purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings. For purposes
of this Agreement, (i) the term "Voting Securities" shall refer to all
securities of the Company entitled to vote generally for the election of
directors, and (ii) the term "beneficial ownership" shall have the meaning set
forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the voting agreements set forth in this
Section 6.4 shall terminate immediately if an unrelated third party has publicly
announced and is actively pursuing the purchase of all or substantially all of
the assets or capital stock of the Company or a merger in which the Company
would not be the surviving corporation.
6.5 Registration of Stock. The Company agrees that the Investor will
--------------------
be entitled to have the Stock registered in accordance with the provisions
contained in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Investor understands and agrees that
---------
(i) the Stock will be characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as it is being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Act only in certain limited circumstances, and (ii) each certificate
representing the Stock and any other securities issued in respect of the Stock
upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event
(unless no longer required in the opinion of counsel for the Company) shall be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with appropriate legends mandated by federal and
state securities laws.

EXHIBIT A
---------
1. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
-------------------
1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit A, capitalized
----------- ---------
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Company
and the Investor to which this Exhibit A is attached. In addition, the following
---------
terms used herein shall have the following meanings:
(a) The term "Form S-3" means such form under the Act as in
effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Act subsequently
adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial
information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
(b) The term "1934 Act" means the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
(c) The term "register", "registered," and "registration" refer
to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such registration statement or document.
1.2 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the
--------------------
Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected
by the Company for shareholders other than the Investor) any of its stock or
other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such
securities solely for cash occurring not later than two years from the Closing
(other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to
participants in a Company stock plan, a registration on any form which does not
include substantially the same information as would be required to be included
in a registration statement covering the sale of Stock or a registration in
which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), the Company
shall, at such time, promptly give the Investor written notice of such
registration. Upon the written request of the Investor given within twenty (20)
days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 7.5
of the Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.6,
cause to be registered under the Act up to all of the Stock that Investor has
requested to be registered.
1.3 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1
--------------------------
to effect the registration of any Stock, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such securities to be included in the registration statement
including the Stock (the "Registrable Securities"), and use its best efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of
the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder,
keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred
twenty (120) days or until the distribution contemplated in the Registration
Statement
A-1
<PAGE>
has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120)
day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the holder
of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such
registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company; and (ii) in the case of any registration of
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a
continuous or delayed basis, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be
extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all
such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor
rule under the Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and
provided further that applicable rules under the Act governing the obligation to
file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective
amendment which (A) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Act or (B) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the
incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (A) and (B)
above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 of 15(d)
of the 1934 Act in the registration statement.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements
to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Investor such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Stock.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor;
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) Notify the Investor covered by such registration statement at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
Securities the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(f) Cause all such Stock registered pursuant hereunder to be
listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed.
(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all of the Stock
registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Stock, in each
case not later than the effective date of such registration.
A-2
<PAGE>
1.4 Investor Obligation to Furnish Information. It shall be a
------------------------------------------
condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action
pursuant hereto with respect to the Stock that the Investor shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding itself, the Stock, and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration
of such Stock.
1.5 Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection with
------------------------
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant hereto, including (without
limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and
accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (including
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in its capacity as counsel to
the Investor hereunder but excluding the fees and disbursements of any other
counsel for the Investor) shall be borne by the Company.
1.6 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
-------------------------
involving an underwriting of hares of the Company's capital stock, the Company
shall not be required under Section 1.2 to include any of the Investor's
securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting
as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by
other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such
quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of
securities, including Stock requested by the Investor to be included in such
offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that
the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the
success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the
offering only that number of Registrable Securities and shares of Stock which
the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the
success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata
among the selling shareholders (including the Investor) according to the total
amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling
shareholder (including the Investor) or in such other proportions as shall
mutually be agreed to by such selling shareholders (including the Investor)) but
in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling shareholder (including
the Investor) included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of
the total amount of securities included in such offering.
1.7 Delay of Registration. The Investor shall not 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 Stock is included in a
---------------
registration statement under Section 1.2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless the Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for the
Investor and each person, if any, who controls the Investor or underwriter
within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Act, the 1934 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
---------
A-3
<PAGE>
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein,
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any
state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the
1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to the Investor,
or such underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (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 such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that
it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by any such Investor, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Investor 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 Act, any underwriter, and any controlling
person of any such underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become
subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto)
arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use
in connection with such registration; and each such Investor will pay, as
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection (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 (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
Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in
no event shall any indemnity under this subsection (b) exceed the gross proceeds
from the offering received by the Investor.
(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 counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which 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
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
1.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 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, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall 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. 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 an 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 the Investor under this
Section 1.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of the Stock in a
registration statement pursuant hereto, and otherwise.
1.9 Termination. The Company's obligation to register the Stock
-----------
pursuant to this agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the second
anniversary of the Closing and (ii) the date on which all shares of the Stock
held by the Investor may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day
period.
