the "Holders"). The Series A Holders, the Series B Holders and the Series C

each individually as an "Investor."

 

                                    RECITALS

 

      WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell and issue up to two hundred ten

thousand three hundred thirty-six (210,336) shares of its Series C Preferred

Stock ("Series C Stock") pursuant to that certain Series C Preferred Stock and

Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Purchase Agreement");

 

      WHEREAS, the Company and certain of the Holders have entered into that

certain Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of September 8,

2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to such agreement dated April 16, 2001 (the

      WHEREAS, as a condition of entering into the Purchase Agreement, the

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations,

warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the

Purchase Agreement, the parties mutually agree as follows:

 

                                    AGREEMENT

 

      1.     REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company and the Investors covenant and

agree as follows:

 

            1.1    DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section 1:

 

                  (a)    The terms "register," "registered," and "registration"

refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration

statement or similar document in

 

                                       1.

<PAGE>

 

compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),

and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement

or document;

 

                  (b)    The term "Registrable Securities" means (i) the shares

of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Company's

Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Stock, and

the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock

Company issued as (or issuable upon the 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 in replacement of, the shares listed in

(i); provided, however, that the foregoing definition shall exclude in all cases

any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which his or her

rights under this Agreement are not assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Common Stock or other 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(l) thereof so that all

transfer restrictions, and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are

removed upon the consummation of such sale;

 

                  (c)    The number of shares of "Registrable Securities then

outstanding" shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock

outstanding which are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable

pursuant to then exercisable or convertible securities which are, Registrable

Securities;

 

                  (d)    The term "Holder" means any person owning or having the

right to acquire Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance

with Section 1.10 of this Agreement;

 

                  (e)     The term "Form S-3" means such form under the Securities

Act as in effect on the date hereof or any successor form under the Securities

Act;

 

                  (f)    The term "SEC" means the Securities and Exchange

Commission; and

 

                  (g)     The term "Qualified IPO" means a firm commitment

underwritten public offering by the Company of shares of its Common Stock

pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, the

public offering price of which is not less than $12.00 per share (appropriately

adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination or other recapitalization)

and which results in aggregate cash proceeds to the Company of $20,000,000 (net

of underwriting discounts and commissions).

 

      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 Holders) any of its stock 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 or a transaction covered by

Rule

145 under the Securities Act, a registration in which the only stock being

registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are

also being registered, or any 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 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 twenty (20)

days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3,

the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.6, cause to be

registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each

such Holder has requested to be registered.

 

            1.3    OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required under this

Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company

shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

                   (a)    Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement

with respect to such 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 up to one hundred twenty (120) days.

 

                  (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 Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all

securities covered by such registration statement for up to one hundred twenty

(120) days.

 

                  (c)    Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a

prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the

requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may

reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable

Securities owned by them.

 

                  (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

Holders, 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)    In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter

into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and

customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder

participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its

obligations under such an agreement.

 

                  (f)    Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by

such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is

required to be delivered under the Securities 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

 

                                       3.

<PAGE>

 

the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then

existing, such obligation to continue for one hundred twenty (120) days.

 

                  (g)    Cause all such Registrable Securities registered

pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar

securities issued by the Company are then listed.

 

                  (h)    Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all

Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all

such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of

such registration.

 

                  (i)    Use its best efforts to furnish, at the request of any

Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this

Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the

underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section

1, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such

securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the

registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an

opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the

purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to

underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,

if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and

(ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants

of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent

certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering,

addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting

registration of Registrable Securities.

 

            1.4    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.

 

            1.5    EXPENSES OF COMPANY REGISTRATION. All expenses other than

underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with

registrations, filings or qualifications of Registrable Securities pursuant to

Section 1.2 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section

1.10), including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and

qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of

counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements (not to exceed

$10,000) of one counsel for the selling Holder or Holders selected by them with

the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,

shall be borne by the Company.

 

            1.6    UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS. In connection with any offering

involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company

shall not be required under Section 1.2 to include any of the Holders'

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

 

                                       4.

<PAGE>

 

the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including

Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders 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 such securities, including Registrable Securities,

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 according to the total amount of securities

entitled to be included therein owned by each selling shareholder or in such

other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling shareholders)

but in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included

in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of

securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the initial public

offering of the Company's securities.

 

             1.7    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 Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 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, 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 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 to

any Holder, underwriter or controlling person 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 Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

 

                                       5.

                  (b)    To the extent permitted by law, each selling 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, 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) 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

Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such

Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by

any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.8(b), in
