Venture Vehicle of the Company. All of the Voting Shares of each Subsidiary and
Joint Venture Vehicle shown in Schedule 4.1 as being owned by the Company and
its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and
are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien

Schedule 4.1). Each Subsidiary and Joint Venture Vehicle is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization and has all requisite corporate power and authority and all
material rights and permits to own and operate its properties and to carry on
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.
4.2. Authorization; Enforceability. The Company has all requisite
corporate power and authority and all material rights and permits to own and
operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted, to enter into this Agreement, the other Note
Documents, to issue and sell the Securities and to carry out the terms of the
Note Documents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the
other Note Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Company, and this Agreement and the other Note Documents
constitute, and the Securities when issued hereunder for value will each

accordance with their respective terms.
4.3. Warrants and Warrant Shares. The Company has reserved and
unissued shares of its Common Stock at least equal to the shares of Common Stock

upon exercise of any Warrant have been duly authorized, and upon payment
therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be validly issued,

exercising holder with respect to obligations of the Company. As of the First
Closing Date, on a fully-diluted basis the Common Stock into which the Warrants

Company; provided, that if the conditions specified in Section 1.b of the

Venture Vehicle makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to
be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

throughout the periods involved and show all liabilities, direct and contingent,
of PPV and its Subsidiaries required to be shown in accordance with such
principles. The consolidated financial statements fairly present the financial
condition of PPV and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and for the
periods indicated. There has been no material adverse change in the business,
operations, affairs, condition (financial or other), properties or prospects of
the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole since December 31, 1994.

award of any arbitrator or any agreement (including any agreement with
stockholders), instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or
regulation to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may be subject. The
Company is not a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in,
any instrument evidencing Debt of the Company, any agreement relating thereto or
any other contract or agreement (including its charter) which limits the amount
of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Debt of the Company
of the type to be evidenced by the Notes except as set forth in the agreements
listed in Schedule 4.12.
4.13. Offering of Securities. Neither the Company nor any agent
acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, offered the Notes or the

offers to buy either the Notes or the Warrants or any similar securities of the
Company from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect thereto with,
any Person other than the Purchasers and not more than 100 other institutional

Agreement will violate or result in a violation of section 7 of the Exchange Act
or any regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation,
Regulations G, T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. None of such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the
purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing or carrying
any margin stock or for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any
Debt which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any stock that is
currently a margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this
transaction a "purpose credit" within the meaning of such Regulation G.
4.15. ERISA.
(a) The present value of the benefit liabilities (within the meaning
of section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA) under each Plan does not exceed the current
value (within the meaning of section 3(26) of ERISA) of the assets of such Plan
allocable to such benefit liabilities, determined on the basis of assumptions
and methods (including, without limitation, those used in valuing Plan assets)
each of which is reasonable and in accordance with actuarial standards and
applicable law.
(b) None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA
Affiliate has breached the fiduciary rules of ERISA or engaged in any prohibited
transaction, and no such breach or prohibited transaction has occurred, that
could result in any direct or indirect liability (including as a result of an
indemnification obligation) of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA
Affiliate in connection with a suit for damages or pursuant to section 409(i) or
502(1) of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code.
(c) No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section 302 of
ERISA or section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, has been incurred or

required under the Code or the terms of any Plan of all amounts which the
Company or any Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate is required under applicable law to
have paid as contributions to each Plan.
(d) Other than for premiums payable in the normal course that are not
past due, none of the Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has
incurred (either directly or indirectly, including as a result of an
indemnification obligation) any material liability under or pursuant to Title I
or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to
employee benefit plans and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or
exists or, to the Company's best knowledge, is expected to occur or exist with
respect to any Plan which would result in any such liability to the Company, any
Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate. There has been no reportable event (within
the meaning of section 4043(c) of ERISA) or any other event or condition with
respect to any Plan which presents a risk of termination of, or the appointment
13
of a trustee to administer, any such Plan by the PBGC. No Plan is a
Multiemployer Plan or a "multiple employer" plan.
(e) Except liability for continuation coverage provided pursuant to
section 4980B of the Code, no postretirement benefits are provided under any
welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA) of the Company, any
Subsidiary or the ERISA Affiliates.
(f) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and of each of the
Note Documents and the issuance and sale of the Securities thereunder will be
exempt from, or will not involve any transaction which is subject to, the
prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA and section 4975 of the Code and will not
involve any transaction in connection with which a penalty could be imposed
under section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975
of the Code. The representation by the Company in the immediately preceding
sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of each
Purchaser's representation in Section 5.2 of this Agreement.
(g) Neither the Company, nor any Subsidiary of the Company, nor any
ERISA Affiliate is either a "party in interest" (as defined in Title I, Section
3(14) of ERISA), nor a "disqualified person" (as defined in section 4975(e)(2)
of the Code) nor are the Securities "employer securities" (as defined in Title
I, Section 407(d)(i) of ERISA) with respect to any employee benefit plan other
than those identified in Schedule 4.15 attached hereto.
(h) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial
compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable
laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where
required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of its Joint Venture Vehicles has
incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from
any Foreign Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities
(whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the
end of the Company's most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial
assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of
the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.
4.16. Governmental Consent. Neither the nature of the Company and
its businesses or properties, nor any relationship between the Company and any
other Person, nor any circumstance in connection either with the offering,
issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities or with performance under the Note

or other action by or notice to or filing with any court or administrative or
governmental body in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or any other Note Document, the offering, issuance, sale or delivery
of the Securities or performance under, fulfillment of or

Subsidiaries and its Joint Venture Vehicles and all of their respective
properties and facilities have complied at all times and in all respects with
all Environmental Laws, except where failure to comply could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries nor any of its Joint Venture Vehicles is aware of any claim or
demand against it or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Joint Venture
Vehicles seeking damages, responses, costs, clean-up or any other form of relief
in equity or at law arising out of or relating to the treatment, disposal,
release, threatened release or presence of Hazardous Materials, which claim or
demand, individually or in the aggregate, might reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor
any of its Joint Venture Vehicles has acquired, incurred or assumed, directly or
indirectly, any contingent liability in connection with the release of any
Hazardous Material into the environment, which liability might result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

Company nor any Subsidiary is an investment company or a person directly or
indirectly controlled by or acting on behalf of an investment company within the
meaning of the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is a "holding company" or "subsidiary company" of

the Private Placement Memorandum, nor any other document, certificate or
statement furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company or any
Subsidiary in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein and therein not misleading (it being understood that with
respect to pro forma calculations and estimates regarding future developments
contained in the Private Placement Memorandum, such pro forma calculations and
estimates are based on assumptions the Company in good faith believes are
reasonable and there are no facts presently known to the Company which would
cause the Company to change such projections and estimates in any material
respect). There is no fact known to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
which materially adversely affects or in the future may (so far as the Company
can now foresee) materially adversely affect the business, operations, affairs,
condition (financial or other), properties or

its stock held by the Company pledged pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, a pledge
of 66% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital
stock of such Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Joint Venture Vehicle entitled to

Foreign Joint Venture Vehicle as determined for Federal income tax purposes to
be treated as a deemed dividend to the Company as a result of the pledge of the
capital stock of such Foreign Subsidiary or such Foreign Joint Venture Vehicle
by the Company, then in the case of a failure to deliver the evidence described

any Notes issued thereafter may bear a notation referring to any such consent.
No course of dealing between the
52
Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights
hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any
holder of such Note. As used herein and in the Notes, the term "this Agreement"
and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be
amended or supplemented.

opportunity of considering the same and shall be supplied by the Company with
sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect
thereto. Executed or true and correct copies of any waiver sent or effected

Notes and of transfers of Notes. Any holder of any of the Notes may sell,
assign or otherwise transfer any of such Notes to (x) any Financial Institution
or (y) subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, any other Person other
than a Person which is at the time of such sale, assignment or transfer a
Competitor. Unless such Noteholder is transferring such Notes to a Financial
Institution, the transferring Noteholder shall notify the Company in writing as
to the identity of such proposed transferee, and such Noteholder shall not
transfer such Note to such Person if the Company, within 5 Business Days of
receipt of such notice, notifies such Noteholder (with supporting details) that

transfer, it being understood that if the Noteholder does not receive such a
notice from the Company within such 5 Business Days, the proposed transferee

holder of any Note, such Note may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and
of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Note to be exchanged at the principal office of the Company.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall, at its
expense, execute and deliver the Notes which the holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer duly executed, by the holder of such Note or such holder's attorney
duly authorized in writing. Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or
upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to
accrue which were carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred, so that
neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or
exchange. Upon receipt of written notice from the holder of any Note of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Note and, in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such holder's unsecured indemnity
agreement, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation
of such Note, the Company will make and deliver a new Note, of like tenor, in
lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
11.6. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name any
Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of, interest on and any premium payable with
respect to such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the
contrary. Subject to the preceding sentence, any holder of any of the Notes may
grant participations in such Note to (x) any Financial Institution or (y)
subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, any other Person other than a
Person which is at the time of the granting of such participation a Competitor.
Unless such Noteholder is granting a participation in the Notes to a Financial
Institution, the granting Noteholder shall notify the Company in writing as to
the identity of such proposed grantee, and such Noteholder shall not grant such
participation to such Person if the Company, within 5 Business Days of receipt
of such notice, notifies such Noteholder (with supporting details) that the
proposed grantee is a Competitor and that the Company objects to such transfer,
it being understood that if the transferring Noteholder does not receive such a
notice from the Company within such 5 Business Days, the proposed grantee shall
not be considered a Competitor for purposes hereof and the granting of the
participation shall not be prohibited hereby.

Agreement and the Securities, the transfer by the Purchaser of any Note,

DESCRIPTION OF REORGANIZATION
See the attached.
Pacific Pay Video Limited
-------------------------
Outline for Establishing Holding Company Structure
--------------------------------------------------
Objectives
- ----------
1.) Establish a holding company to facilitate a more appropriate corporate
structure for operating, marketing and managing the Company's products and
services internationally.
2.) Minimize any impact on current financing efforts, taxes, or ability to use
pooling of interest accounting in future acquisitions.
Basis Structure and Implementation
- ----------------------------------
1.) Incorporate two new California corporations: Newholdings (parent) and
NewSub (100% owned subsidiary of NewHoldings).
2.) Merge NewSub into PPV in reverse triangular merger such that all current
PPV shareholders thereafter hold exactly the same interest in NewHoldings
as they did in PPV and NewHoldings holds 100% of the stock of PPV.
3.) All contracts would remain in PPV, except to the extent that contracts need
to be assigned to NewHoldings for it to carry out its administrative and
other responsibilities, and except for contracts related to equity or debt
or similar instruments which would be assumed by NewHoldings (e.g.,
shareholders agreements; SVB arrangements).
4.) The stock in PPV's current in-country subsidiaries would be distributed to
NewHoldings and thereafter such subsidiaries would be operated as
NewHoldings subsidiaries.
5.) NewHoldings may be requested to guarantee certain contracts or that such
contracts be assigned from PPV to NewHoldings, particularly those involving
payment obligations.
6.) All stock plans, options, and warrants would be assumed by NewHoldings.
Stock plans would be available to employees of all NewHoldings
subsidiaries.
Approval
- --------
1.) Only board approval is required to establish the holding company structure
and to distribute shares of existing PPV subsidiaries to NewHoldings.
2.) No dissenters' rights are triggered by the merger.
3.) No federal or state securities law registration should be required.
Effect on Financing
- -------------------
1.) NY Life understands that the debt financing will be made to the
NewHoldings, New structure should not affect the ability of NY Life to be
secured since collateral is stock of all subsidiaries. NY Life will take
shares of PPV as collateral in addition to the shares of other
subsidiaries.
2.) NewHoldings will allocate cash to PPV and other subsidiaries as needed to
operate each company
Reorganization
- --------------
1.) PPV would continue to hold all existing license rights including the OCV
license. PPV would contract with other subsidiaries of NewHoldings (e.g.,
country operating subsidiaries) for services or technology connected with
the sale and installation of OCV systems.
2.) Employees would be reallocated as appropriate to their function.
Administration would be in the parent along with possibly marketing and/or
sales. Current country operating subsidiaries would not change, except the
equity in such subsidiaries would be held by the parent holding company and
not PPV.
Tax and Accounting
- ------------------
1.) The establishment of the holding company through the reverse triangular
merger will be tax free to each shareholder and each shareholder will carry
over the tax basis in his PPV shares to his NewHoldings shares.
2.) The distribution of the stock of the PPV subsidiaries to NewHoldings will
not result in recognition of gain or loss on a consolidated basis.
3.) Because there is no change in the equity interests of any security holder
in the overall organization, neither the establishment of the holding
company nor the distribution of the stock of the PPV subsidiaries to
NewHoldings should preclude a later pooling of interests acquisition.
4.) Tax counsel and the Company's accountants will provide written opinions to
verify the above conclusions before proceeding with the reorganization.
Contracts
- ---------
1.) Because the reorganization is structured as a reverse triangular merger and
because there is no change of control of the overall entity, contracts with
PPV should be unaffected by the reorganization. To the extent it is
desirable to move a contract to NewHoldings such contract will need to
either permit such assignment to a commonly controlled (i.e., affiliate)
corporation or a consent to such transfer will need to be obtained.
2.) Section 10.3 of the Shareholders Agreement entered into as part of the
September 1994 financing provides that the shares of NewHoldings issued in
the reorganization will be automatically subject to the terms of that
agreement.
Timetable
- ---------
1.) Assuming June 15 board approval of the reorganization, the merger would
occur during the week of June 19, after tax, accounting, and contract
issues are finalized.
2.) The intent is to complete the reorganization prior to any funding from NY
life.

perfected Lien on all of the Pledge Collateral in existence on the date hereof,
in favor of the Pledgee for the benefit of the Noteholders, subject to no Lien
in favor of any other Person; (v) other than registrations and filings described
on Annex B hereto (all of which have been made prior to the date hereof or will
be made within the relevant statutory period) no consent, filing, recording or
registration is required to perfect the Lien purported to be created by this
Agreement; and (vi) the stock powers are duly executed and delivered and give
the Pledgee the rights and authority they purport to give. The Pledgor covenants
and agrees that: (i) it will defend the Pledgee's right, tide and lien in and to
the Pledge Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons; and (ii) it
will take all actions within its powers to ensure that it will have like title
to and right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the
Pledgee as Pledge Collateral hereunder.
SECTION 14. PLEDGOR'S OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The obligations of the
------------------------------
Pledgor under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released,
suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or
occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (i) any renewal,
extension, amendment or modification of, or addition or supplement to or
deletion from, the Note Agreement, any Note or any other instrument or agreement
referred to therein or any assignment or transfer of any thereof; (ii) any
waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in
respect of the Note Agreement, any Note or any other such instrument or
agreement or any exercise or nonexercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege under or in respect of the Note Agreement, any Note or any other such
instrument or agreement; (iii) any furnishing of any additional security to the
Pledgee or any acceptance thereof or any sale, exchange, release, surrender or
realization of or upon any security by the Pledgee; or (iv) any invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of all or part of the Secured Obligations or of
any security therefor or the termination or release of any security therefor.
SECTION 15. REGISTRATION. (a) If an Event of Default shall have
-------------
occurred and be continuing and the Pledgor shall have received from the Pledgee
a written request or requests that the Pledgor cause any registration,
qualification or compliance under any securities law or laws, or listing
requirements, to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Pledged
Securities, the Pledgor as soon as practicable and at its expense will use
13
its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept
effective) and will use its best efforts to cause such qualification and
compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as
would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Pledged Securities,
including without limitation, registration under any applicable securities laws
(including the Securities Act) and appropriate compliance with any other
governmental and listing requirements, provided that the Pledgee shall furnish
to the Pledgor such information regarding the Pledgee as the Pledgor may request
in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance. The Pledgor will cause the Pledgee to be kept
reasonably advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration,
qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to
the Pledgee such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents
incident thereto as the Pledgee from time to time may reasonably request, and
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Pledgee and all others participating
in such registration, qualification or compliance (or the distribution of such
Pledged Securities) against all losses, liabilities, claims or damages caused by
any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained
therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or
by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related
registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as the same may have been caused by an untrue statement or
omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Pledgor by the
Pledgee expressly for use therein.
(b) If at any time when the Pledgee shall determine to exercise its
right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Securities pursuant to Section 7
such Pledged Securities or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason
whatsoever, be effectively registered under any applicable securities law or
laws (including the Securities Act), the Pledgee may sell such Pledged
Securities or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such
circumstances as the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in order that such
sale may legally be effected without such registration, provided that at least
10 days' notice of the time and place of any such sale shall be given to the
Pledgor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event
the Pledgee: (i) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Securities or
part thereof shall have been filed under such securities laws; (ii) may approach
and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii)
may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such
purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view
to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Securities or any part thereof. In
the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or
liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at a price which
the Pledgee (acting in accordance with instructions from the Required Holder(s))
may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the
possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were
deferred until after registration as aforesaid.
SECTION 16. INDEMNITY. (a) The Pledgor covenants and agrees to pay to
----------
the Pledgee from time to time, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to, reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it, and the Pledgor will pay or
reimburse the Pledgee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred
14
or made by the Pledgee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement or any other Pledge Document (including the compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not
regularly in its employ).
(b) The Pledgor also covenants to indemnify the Pledgee (which, for
purposes of this Section 16, shall include in directors, officers, employees and
agents) for, and to hold it harmless from and against, any and all loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without gross negligence, wilful
misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Pledgee, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, the exercise of
any rights and remedies arising out of this Agreement or any other Pledge
Document, or the performance of any of its duties, including the reasonable
costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability and in
enforcing any provision of this Agreement or any other Pledge Document (except
any liability incurred with gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith on
the part of the Pledgee), with interest thereon at a rate equal to that in the
Pledgee's customary banking practice with respect to overdrafts (including the
imposition of interest, fund, wage and administrative fees) from the date the
same shall have been paid until actually reimbursed.
(c) The obligations of the Pledgor under this Section 16 to
compensate and indemnify the Pledgee and to pay or reimburse the Pledgee for
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or other
termination of this Agreement and any other Pledge Document and the resignation
or removal of the Pledgee hereunder
(d) To secure payment of such compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification, the Pledgee shall have a claim and Lien prior to that of any
party, which claim and Lien shall constitute Secured Obligations secured by this
Agreement.
SECTION 17. TERMINATION: RELEASE, Upon:
--------------------
(a) the receipt by the Pledgee of a certificate executed by each
Purchaser certifying that the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 of the Note
Agreement to the release of the Pledge Collateral have been satisfied; or
(b) the date on which the Secured Obligations have been discharged in
full;
this Agreement shall terminate, and the Pledgee, at the written request and
expense of the Pledgor, will promptly execute and deliver to the Pledgor a
proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination
of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgor,
without recourse and without any representation or warranty, such of the Pledge
Collateral as may be in the possession of the Pledgee and has not theretofore
been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement, together

Securities created herein or until an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing.
SECTION 3. APPOINTMENT OF AGENTS. The Agent shall receive and continue to
---------------------
retain possession of the Subject Collateral on behalf of the Assignees pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Appointment Agreement. The

certificates representing the Subject Securities and other Subject Collateral on
behalf of the Agent.

-------------------------------------------------

cast no vote, or give any consent, waiver or ratification or take any action
which would violate or be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement,
any other Note Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to herein
or therein or which would have the effect of impairing the position or interests
of the Assignees. All such rights of the Assignor to vote and to give consents,
waivers and ratifications shall cease upon the earlier to occur of (i) delivery
to the Assignor of written notice from any Noteholder or pursuant to a notice
delivered under Section 9.1 of the Note Agreement or the Agent stating that an

obtaining knowledge of any condition or event which constitutes an Event of
Default, when Sections 2.4 and 6 shall become applicable; provided, that the
Agent shall be under no duty to deliver the written notice described in clause

---------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all cash dividends payable in
respect of the Subject Securities shall be paid directly to the Assignor;
provided, that the
- 4 -
Assignor shall cause to be paid to the Agent, and the Agent shall have the right
to receive and retain as part of the Subject Collateral, all cash dividends
payable in respect of the Subject Securities which are determined by the Agent
to represent in whole or in part an extraordinary, liquidating or other
distribution in return of capital (each a "Liquidating Dividend"), unless the
event creating such Liquidating Dividend was permitted by, and did not otherwise
result in an Event of Default occurring under, the Note Agreement. In case an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Assignor shall cause
to be paid to the Agent, and the Agent shall have the right to receive and
retain as part of the Subject Collateral, all cash dividends payable in respect
of the Subject Securities. The Assignor shall also cause to be delivered or
paid, as relevant, to the Agent, and the Agent shall have the right to receive

(including cash) which may be paid in respect of the Subject Securities by
reason of any consolidation, merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets,
liquidation or similar corporate reorganization or otherwise;
except, in each case, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
- ------
Default, to the extent the receipt of such stock dividends and other securities
distributions would cause the Subject securities of PPV Japan to exceed PPV
Japan's Maximum Foreign Pledge, in which case the Assignor shall cause to be
delivered to the Agent, and the Agent shall have the right to receive and retain
as part of the Subject Collateral, such amount of stock dividends and securities
distributions as is equal, together with the Subject Securities previously
assigned as collateral, to PPV Japan's then existing Maximum Foreign Pledge.

------------------------------------
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Noteholders (as Assignees)
directly or through the Agent shall be entitled to exercise all the rights,

it by this Agreement, by any other Note Document or by law) for the protection
and enforcement of their or its rights, as relevant in respect of the Subject
Collateral, and the Noteholders (as Assignees) directly or through the Agent
shall be entitled without limitation to exercise the following rights, which the
Assignor hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable:

APPENDIX A
to Agreement of Assignment as Collateral
Form of a Letter of Confirmation under Section 18
--------------------------------------------------
Date: , 19__
The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.
as the Agent for the Noteholders (as Assignees)
Re: Noteholders of the Notes issued by MagiNet Corporation pursuant to the Note
Agreement dated August 15, 1995 and Assignees of the Agreement of
Assignment as Collateral referred to below
Dear Sirs:
We refer to the Agreement of Assignment as Collateral dated August 15, 1995 (as
amended to date, "Assignment as Collateral") made between you as the Agent and
an Assignee, the Purchasers and us. All capitalized terms defined or used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings specified
in the Assignment as Collateral.
We understand that the current Noteholders, and accordingly the current
Assignees (excluding you), are those listed below and confirm that all security
interests created or to be created under the Assignment as Collateral are
effective for the benefit of you and such other Assignees as if they all were
Assignees on the date the Assignment as Collateral was first executed.
Very truly yours,
MagiNet Corporation
(Authorized Signatory)
(List of Assignees):
Exhibit C
THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK TO BE ACQUIRED UPON THE
EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CON NECTION WITH, THE DISTRIBUTION
THEREOF. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED
UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO THESE
SECURITIES OR (II) THERE IS AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO THE COMPANY, THAT AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM IS AVAILABLE.
IT IS UNLAWFUL TO CONSUMMATE A SALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, OR ANY
INTEREST THEREIN, OR TO RECEIVE ANY CONSIDERATION THEREFOR, WITHOUT THE
PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN THE COMMISSIONER'S RULES.
MAGINET CORPORATION
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
AUGUST 15, 1995
VOID AFTER AUGUST 15, 2000
1. Number and Price of Shares Subject to Warrant.
---------------------------------------------
a. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
____________________________________________________, or its
registered assigns, is entitled to acquire from MAGINET CORPORATION, a
California corporation (the "Company"), at any time after the date
hereof and on or before the date of termination of this Warrant
provided for in Section 3 hereof, up to ____________________ shares
(as may be adjusted pursuant to clause 1(b) below) of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable Common Stock of the
Company (the "Warrant Stock"), for a per share Warrant Price (as
defined below in Section 2). This Warrant is one of a series of
warrants (collectively, the "Warrants", as such term to include all
Warrants issued in substitution therefor) having substantially similar
terms and issued in connection with the sale of the Company's notes
(the "Notes") in a senior secured note financing transaction, which
issuance and sale were made pursuant to the Note Agreement dated
August 15, 1995 (the "Note Agreement").
b. Notwithstanding clause 1(a) above, if either
(x) the conditions set forth in Section 8.13(a) of the Note
Agreement have not been satisfied prior to January 1, 1996 or
(y) the Company has not received additional investments in the
Company in the aggregate amount of at least $5,100,000 in cash prior
to January 1, 1996 in the form of (A) debt investments or equity
investments other than common equity or Preferred Equity (as
hereinafter defined) on terms and conditions satisfactory to the
Required Holders (as hereinafter defined), or (B) common or Preferred
Equity,
then the number of shares of Warrant Stock represented by this Warrant
shall automatically be increased to ____________ shares. For the avoidance
of doubt, the terms and conditions of any debt investment shall be deemed
to be unsatisfactory to the Required Holder(s) if (A) such debt investment
(i) has any scheduled principal payments due prior to the maturity of the
Notes, (ii) bears interest at a rate higher than that borne by the Notes or
(iii) allows the debt to be prepaid other than on a pro rata basis with the
holders of the Notes, or if (B) with respect to such debt investment, the
investors receive warrants to subscribe for Common Stock of the Company,
and such warrants either (i) are not in form and substance substantially
the same as this Warrant or (ii) provide that the amount of Common Stock
into which the warrants are exercisable is greater than 57,142.88 shares of
Common Stock for each $1,000,000 of debt investment, or if (C) the terms of
such debt investment described in clauses (A) and (B) above can be amended
without the consent of the Required Holders. "Required Holders" shall mean
the holders of Warrants exercisable into shares of Warrant Stock, which in
the aggregate amount to at least seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate
number of shares of Warrant Stock into which all the Warrants then
outstanding are exercisable. "Preferred Equity" shall mean securities which
have terms substantially of a kind similar to the terms of the Company's
outstanding Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock (such as
dividend and liquidation preferences, convertibility into Common Stock and
voting rights) and which do not have terms of a kind (such as mandatory
redemption or sinking fund provisions) functionally similar to terms found
in debt investments such as the Notes.
2. Warrant Price. Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 9, this
-------------
Warrant shall be exercisable at a per share purchase price (the "Warrant
Price") of $7.00; provided, however, that if (A) no Liquidity Event (as
defined below) has occurred: (i) on or before June 30, 1998, the Warrant
Price shall be adjusted to $6.00 per share, (ii) on or before June 30,
1999, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to $5.00 per share, and (iii) on
or before June 30, 2000, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to $4.50 per
share, or (B) the conditions set forth in clause (x) and (y) of Section 1.b
hereof have not been satisfied, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to
$4.50 per share; and provided further, that each of the per-share prices in
(A)(i), (ii), and (iii) or (B) of this Section 2 shall be adjusted, as
provided in Section 9, on the same basis as the then applicable Warrant
-2-
Price. A "Liquidity Event" for purposes of this Section 2 shall mean the
closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of the Common
Stock of the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Act (provided that any such public offering results in gross proceeds
to the Company in excess of $10,000,000); the exchange of the Company's
Common Stock for securities of a corporation which corporation has a pre-
exchange market capitalization of at least $50,000,000 and whose shares are
listed for trading on a national securities exchange or automated quotation
system; or any other merger, acquisition or similar transaction in which
the holders of the Company's Common Stock receive cash in exchange for such
Common Stock, or receive a combination of cash and such listed securities.
3. Termination. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon
-----------
exercise hereof) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) five (5) years
from the date of this Warrant, or (ii) the closing of a firm commitment
underwritten public offering of the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Act, which results in gross
proceeds to the Company in excess of $10,000,000; provided, that if the
holder of this Warrant has exercised its right to include the underlying
Warrant Stock in such public offering, and any such Warrant Stock is
excluded from such underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing
limitation, then the holder shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days
(as defined in the Note Agreement) to exercise its right pursuant to this
Warrant to purchase such Warrant Stock, or to effect an exchange described
in Section 8(c) below, at the then effective Warrant Price notwithstanding
the termination provision of this Warrant pursuant to either clause (i) or
(ii) above. The Company shall give the holder of this Warrant written
notice of such public offering at least twenty (20) and no more than ninety
(90) days prior to the closing of the effectiveness of such registration
statement and shall deliver a copy of the preliminary prospectus with
respect to any such public offering to the holder of this Warrant promptly
after it becomes available.
4. No Adjustments. Except as provided in Section 9, no adjustment on account
--------------
of dividends or interest on Warrant Stock will be made upon the exercise
hereof.
5. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued
--------------------
in connection with any subscription hereunder. In lieu of any fractional
shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal
to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value (as
defined in Section 8) of one (1) share of Warrant Stock on the date of
exercise (minus the Warrant Price if unpaid).
6. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle its holder to any of
---------------------
the rights of a shareholder of the Company; or
-3-
impose any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities or as a
shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the
Company or by creditors or shareholders of the Company or otherwise.
7. Reservation of Stock. The Company covenants that during the period this
--------------------
Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and
unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the
issuance of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company
agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to
its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates
to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Warrant Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
8. Exercise of Warrant.
-------------------
a. Procedure for Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the
----------------------
registered holder or its registered assigns, in whole or in part, by
the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company,
accompanied by payment in full of the Warrant Price in cash or by
check or by the cancellation of any present or future indebtedness
from the Company to the holder hereof, in accordance with Section
8(b). Upon partial exercise hereof, a new warrant or warrants
containing the same date and provisions as this Warrant shall be
issued by the Company to the registered holder for the number of
shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant shall not
have been exercised. A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its
surrender for exercise as provided above, and the person entitled to
receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall
be treated for all purposes as the holder of such shares of record as
of the close of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on
or after such date, and in any event within ten (10) business days
thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in connection with an
underwritten public offering, in which event three (3) business days
after such exercise), the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable taxes payable by the Company) will
cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the holder hereof
or, subject to Section 8, as such holder (upon payment by such holder
of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable
upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a
share as provided above in Section 5.
b. Payment with Notes. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the holder
------------------
hereof may, at its option, instruct the Company to apply to the
payment required by Section 8(a) all or any
-4-
part of the principal amount then unpaid, the premium, if any, and the
interest on such principal amount then accrued on any one or more
Notes at the time held by such holder, in which case the Company will
accept the aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest on such
principal in satisfaction of a like amount of such payment. In case
less than the entire unpaid principal amount of any Note shall be so
specified, the principal amount so specified shall be credited, as of
the date of such exercise, on a pro rata basis against all future
installments of principal of such Note. In the event that the entire
unpaid principal amount of any Note is applied to the payment of the
Warrant Price, such Note shall be promptly surrendered and canceled
and shall be deemed no longer outstanding for all purposes of the Note
Agreement, except as provided in Section 6.4 thereof. Any interest on
the principal amount applied as payment upon such exercise shall be
paid through the date of payment as the next interest payment date
under the Note Agreement. No premium shall be payable on principal
amounts utilized to pay Warrant Price under this Section 8(b).
c. Net Exercise Rights. Notwithstanding the payment provisions set forth
-------------------
in this Section 8, the holder may elect to receive shares of Warrant
Stock equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant by
surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company
together with notice of such election, in which event the Company
shall issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock
determined by use of the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
------
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
the holder, pursuant to this Section 8(c).
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock subject to this
Warrant.
A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one (1)
share of Warrant Stock.
B = Warrant Price per share of Warrant Stock.
For purposes of this Section 8, Fair Market Value of a share as of a
particular date shall mean:
i. If the Company's registration statement under the Act, covering
its initial underwritten public offering of stock has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
then the fair market value of
-5-
a share shall be the closing price (the last reported sales
price, if not so reported, the average of the last reported bid
and asked prices) of the Company's stock as of the last business
day immediately prior to the exercise of this Warrant.
ii. If such a registration statement has not been declared effective,
if it has been declared effective but the offering is not
consummated in accordance with the terms of the underwriting
agreement between the Company and its underwriters relating to
such registration statement, or if no such registration statement
has been filed or prepared, then as determined in good faith by
the Company's Board of Directors upon a review of relevant
factors. If the Required Holders disagree in writing with such
determination, then an investment banking firm mutually
acceptable to the Company and the Required Holders shall be
retained to appraise the Fair Market Value of the shares of
Warrant Stock in accordance with recognized appraisal standards
and the determination by such investment banking firm shall be
final and binding. If either (1) no such investment banking
appraisal has been performed within the prior six (6) months, or
(2) the appraised value of a share of Warrant Stock is more than
ten percent (10%) higher than the value determined by the Board
of Directors, then the cost of such appraisal shall be paid by
the Company; in all other circumstances, such cost shall be paid
pro rata by the holders of Warrant Stock requesting such an
appraisal.
d. In the event that the Company determines to effect a private sale of
its capital stock for cash or other consideration in an aggregate
amount equal to $1,000,000 or more, and either (x) the securities held
by other holder(s) of the Company's capital stock are included in such
sale or (y) the proceeds of any such sale are used to repurchase the
Company's outstanding securities, then the Company shall promptly give
the holder written notice thereof and include in such sale (and any
related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in
any placement involved therein, the Warrant Stock specified in a
written request by the holder received by the Company within fifteen
(15) days after the Company mails such written notice.
9. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of
------------------------------------------------
securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time and the Company agrees to provide written
notice to each holder promptly upon the happening of certain events as
follows:
-6-
a. Adjustment for Dividends in Stock. In case at any time or from time
---------------------------------
to time during the term of this Warrant the holders of the Common
Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at
the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have
received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination
of eligible shareholders, shall have become entitled to receive,
without payment therefor, other or additional securities or other
property of the Company by way of dividend or distribution, then and
in each case, the holder of this Warrant shall, upon the exercise
hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of
Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any
additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or
additional securities or other property of the Company which such
holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder
of record of such Common Stock on the date hereof and had thereafter,
during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of
such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional
securities or other property receivable by it as aforesaid during such
period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period
by this Section 9.
b. Adjustment for Reclassification or Reorganization. In case of any
-------------------------------------------------
reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company or of any reorganization of the Company during the term of
this Warrant (other than a merger of the Company with and into another
corporation), then and in each such case the Company shall give the
holder of this Warrant at least twenty (20) days notice of the
proposed effective date of such transaction, and the holder of this
Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation
of such reclassification, change or reorganization, shall be entitled
to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property
receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the
stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have
been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this
Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment
as provided in this Section 9. The terms of this Section 9 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes or
reorganizations.
c. Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If at any time during the term
-------------------------------------
of this Warrant the Company shall subdivide its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall thereby be
proportionately reduced and the number of shares receivable upon
exercise of the Warrant shall thereby be proportionately increased;
-7-
and, conversely, if at any time on or after the date hereof the
outstanding number of shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination shall thereby be proportionately increased
and the number of shares receivable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall thereby be proportionately decreased.
d. Adjustments with Respect to Certain Diluting Issuances. The Warrant
------------------------------------------------------
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
i. Warrant Price Adjustment.
(1) If the Company shall issue any Additional Stock (as defined
hereafter) without consideration or for a consideration per
share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, then such
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to each such
issuance shall (except as otherwise provided in this Section
9(d)) be adjusted by dividing (X) an amount equal to the sum
of (a) the product derived by multiplying the Warrant Price
in effect immediately prior to such issue by the number of
shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
Preferred Stock, upon exercise of outstanding stock options
and warrants or otherwise under Section 9(d)(i)(5))
outstanding immediately prior to such issue, plus (b) the
consideration, if any, received by or deemed to have been
received by the Company upon such issuance, by (Y) an amount
equal to the sum of (c) the number of shares of Common Stock
(including shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock, upon exercise
of outstanding stock options and warrants or otherwise under
Section 9(d)(i)(5)) outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance, plus (d) the number of shares of Common Stock
issued or deemed to have been issued in such issuance; or
(2) No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made in an
amount less than one cent per share, provided that any
adjustment that is not required to be made by reason of this
sentence shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment. Except to the limited extent
provided for in Sections 9(d)(i)(5)(c) and 9(d)(i)(5)(d), no
readjustment of the Warrant Price shall have the effect of
increasing the
-8-
Warrant Price above the Warrant Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.
(3) In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for cash,
the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash
paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts,
commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by
the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection
with the issuance and sale thereof.
(4) In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair
value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors. If the Required Holders disagree in writing with
such determination, then (A) if such consideration other
than cash is not securities, an appraisal firm experienced
in valuing property of such type which is mutually
acceptable to the Company and the Required Holders shall be
retained to appraise the fair market value of such
consideration in accordance with recognized appraisal
standards, and the determination by such appraisal firm
shall be final and binding, and (B) if such consideration
other than cash consists of securities, then an investment
banking firm mutually acceptable to the Company and the
Required Holders shall be retained to appraise the fair
market value of the securities in accordance with recognized
appraisal standards, and the determination by such
investment banking firm shall be final and binding. If
either (1) no such appraisal has been performed within the
prior six (6) months with respect to the same property or
securities, or (2) the appraised value of the consideration
is more than ten percent (10%) higher than the value
determined by the Board of Directors, then the cost of such
appraisal shall be paid by the Company; in all other
circumstances, such cost shall be paid pro rata by the
holders of Warrant Stock requesting such an appraisal
(5) In the case of the issuance of options to pur chase or
rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their
terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or
options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such
convertible or exchangeable securities (where the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such options or
rights or upon conversion or exchange of such securities are
not excluded from the definition of Additional Stock), the
following provisions shall apply:
-9-
(a) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or
rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such options or rights were issued
and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in Sections 9(d)(i)(3)
and 9(d)(i)(4)), if any, received by the Company upon the
issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase
price provided in such options or rights for the Common
Stock covered thereby;
(b) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such
convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise
of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such
convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent con
version or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been
issued at the time such securi ties were issued or such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal
to the consideration, if any, received by the Company for
any such securities and related options or rights (excluding
any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued
dividends), plus the additional consideration, if any, to be
received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of
such securities or the exercise of any related options or
rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in
the manner provided in Sections 9(d)(i)(3) and 9(d)(i)(4));
(c) in the event of any change in the number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options or rights or
upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or
exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a
change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof,
the Warrant Price in effect at the time shall forthwith be
readjusted to such Warrant Price as would have applied had
the adjustment that was made upon the issuance of such
options, rights or securities not converted prior to such
change or the options or rights related to such securities
not converted prior to such change been made
-10-
upon the basis of such change, but no further adjustment
shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon
the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion
or exchange of such securities; and
(d) upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the
termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the
expiration of any options or rights related to such
convertible or exchangeable securities (or upon purchase by
the Company and cancellation or retirement of any such
options or rights not exercised or of any such convertible
securities, the rights of conversion or exchange under which
shall not have been exercised), the Warrant Price shall
forthwith be readjusted to such Warrant Price as would have
applied had the adjustment which was made upon the issuance
of such options, rights or securities or options or rights
related to such securities been made upon the basis of the
issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock
actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights,
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon
the exercise of the options or rights related to such
securities.
ii. "Effective Date" means the date of the first sale by the
Company of the Notes.
iii. "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued
(or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 9(d)(i)(5))
by the Company after the Effective Date other than:
(1) Common Stock issued in a transaction deemed to be a
"liquidation" within the meaning of the Company's Articles
of Incorporation in effect as of the Effective Date.
(2) Common Stock issued or issuable to employees, officers, or
directors of, or consultants to the Company approved by the
Board.
(3) Common Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of another
corporation by merger, purchase of all or substantially all
of the assets, or other reorganization.
-11-
(4) Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the
shares of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock.
(5) Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the exercise of
warrants granted in connection with any lease, loan, or
other financing transaction, approved by the Board.
10. Certificate of Adjustment. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number or
-------------------------
type of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted or
readjusted, as herein provided, the Company at its expense shall promptly
deliver to the record holder of this Warrant a certificate of an officer of
the Company setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in
reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including without limitation a statement of (a) the consideration
received or to be received by the Company for any Additional Stock issued
or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and
readjusted (if required by Section 9) on account thereof.
11. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company covenants that it shall not, by
-------------------------
amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
consolidation, merger, transfer of assets, 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 of this Warrant, but shall at
all times in good faith assist in carrying out all those terms and in
taking all actions necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the
holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the above provision, the Company (a) will not
take any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price then
in effect if the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the
Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) then authorized by the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise, and (b) will take
all necessary or appropriate action in order that the Company may validly
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares upon the exercise of
this Warrant.
12. Transfer of Warrant. The rights and obligations of the Company and the
-------------------
holders of this Warrant shall be binding upon and benefit the successors,
assignors, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties. Any
transferee hereof agrees to be
-12-
bound by the restrictions set forth herein and in the Note Agreement.
13. Compliance with Securities Laws. This Warrant or the Warrant Stock may not
-------------------------------
be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by the holder hereof
(except to any affiliate hereof) without compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws. The holder represents and agrees that this
Warrant is being acquired only for investment, for holder's own account,
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
thereof within the meaning of the Act, and the holder acknowledges and
agrees that, at any time that it exercises its Warrant, it will represent,
among other things, to the Company that the Warrant Stock that it acquires
through exercise of the Warrant is being acquired by it for its own account
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
thereof within the meaning of the Act; provided, that in any case, the
disposition of its property shall at all times be and remain within its
control. The holder of this Warrant acknowledges and agrees that this
Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act
and accordingly will not be transferable except as permitted under the
various exemptions contained in the Securities Act, or upon satisfaction of
the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act. Therefore, the Warrant and the Warrant Stock must be held indefinitely
unless they are subsequently regis tered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such regis tration is available. The holder understands that
the certi ficate evidencing the Warrant Stock will be imprinted with a
legend which prohibits the transfer of the Warrant Stock unless they are
registered or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel (which may
be an opinion of in-house counsel) reasonably satisfactory to the Company
that such registration is not required. The holder is aware of the adoption
of Rule 144 by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that Company is
not now and, at the time it wishes to sell the Warrant Stock, may not be
satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144 and, in
such case, holder would be precluded from selling the securities under Rule
144. The holder understands that a stop-transfer instruction will be in
effect with respect to transfer of the Warrant and the Warrant Stock
consistent with the requirements of the securities laws.
14. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended or
--------------------
waived upon the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders,
and any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the remaining
holders of Warrants, except that, without the written consent of the holder
of each Warrant, no amendment or waiver to this Warrant that increases the
Warrant Price, changes the Termination Date, changes the number of shares
purchasable hereunder, changes the method set forth in Sections 8 and 9 for
calculating adjustments thereto, amends this Section 14, or reduces the
percentage required for
-13-
modification, may be made.. All holders of Warrants, by acceptance hereof,
specifically consent to the binding effect of a written consent authorized
by this Section 14. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any
right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and a waiver
of a particular right or remedy on one occasion shall not be deemed a
waiver of any other right or remedy or a waiver of the same right or remedy
on any subsequent occasion.
15. Miscellaneous. This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of
-------------
New York. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of convenience and
reference only, and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.
Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged
or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the
Company and, except as provided in Section 14 hereof, the registered holder
hereof. All notices and other communications from the Company to the holder
of this Warrant shall be sent either by facsimile copy to such number and
to the attention of such person as the last holder of this Warrant shall
have furnished to the Company, or shall be mailed by first-class registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid , or sent by courier, to the address
furnished to the Company in writing by the last holder of this Warrant who
shall have furnished an address to the Company in writing.

qualified to do business and is, if applicable, in good standing, in each
jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or held under lease

Agreement and, after an Event of Default and upon acceleration of the Notes in
accordance with the terms of the Note

permitted by law and the terms of the Technology License Agreement, the right to
(i) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt

account of the Collateral, (ii) enter into any extension or other agreement
pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in
exchange for the Collateral, (iii) transfer the Collateral to its own or its
nominee's name, and (iv) make any compromise or settlement, and take any action
it deems advisable, with respect to the Collateral. Assignor agrees to reimburse
Assignee upon demand for any costs and expenses, including, without limitation,

to preserve any rights against any prior party or any other person in connection
with the Secured Obligations or with respect to the Collateral.

with any moneys at the time held by the Assignee hereunder.
8. Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers and remedies of Assignee under
-----------------
this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to
Assignee by virtue of any statute or rules of law, or any agreement, all of

------------

and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the

Security Document shall require the Agent to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers howsoever arising.

compensation of an agent of an express trust) for all services rendered by it,
and the Company will pay or reimburse the Agent upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Agent in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Note Agreement or

any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein or therein specifically prescribed) may in the absence of
gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Agent, be
deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by the
required Holder(s) delivered to the Agent, and such certificate, in the absence
of gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Agent,

Documents, upon the faith thereof.

giving not less than three months' written notice of resignation to the Company
and each Noteholder. Upon receiving such notice of resignation and evidence
satisfactory to them of the giving of such notice to all such holders of Notes,

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) shall promptly appoint a
successor agent, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Company, one copy to the resigning Agent

EXHIBIT F

such notice of resignation, the resigning Agent may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor agent, or any
Noteholder which has been a bona fide holder thereof for at least six (6) months
may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such
court for appointment of a successor agent. Such court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and as it may prescribe, appoint a
successor agent.

------------------------------
following shall occur:
(a) the Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Required Holder(s);
(b) the Agent shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Agent or its property shall be

or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,

Agent and appoint a successor by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Company, one copy to the Agent so
removed and one to the successor agent, or, failing such removal and appointment
within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the written instrument of removal,
any Noteholder which has been a bona fide holder thereof for at least six (6)
months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Agent and the appointment
of a successor agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as
it may deem proper and as it may prescribe, remove the Agent and appoint a
successor agent.
(iii) Removal of Agent Without Cause. The Required Holder(s) may
(after consultations with the Company, unless a Default or an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing) at any time remove the Agent and appoint a
successor agent by written notice of such action to the Company, the Agent and
the successor agent. If no successor agent shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within forty-five (45) days after the giving of such notice
of removal, the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor agent, or any Noteholder which has been a bona fide
holder thereof for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all
others similarly situated, petition any
EXHIBIT F

successor agent.

in Section 10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each Noteholder, the
Company and to its predecessor agent an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor agent
shall become effective and such successor agent, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Agent herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Required
Holder(s) or of the successor agent, the agent ceasing to act shall, upon
payment of all amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7,
execute and deliver an instrument or instruments transferring and assigning to
such successor agent all the rights and powers of the agent so ceasing to act.
Upon the request of any such successor agent, the Company shall execute any and
all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and

amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor agent as provided in this
Section 11, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such agent

corporation into which the Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
to the corporate trust business of the Agent, shall, if eligible hereunder, be
the successor of the Agent hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be
--------
eligible under the provisions of Section 9 without the execution or filing of
any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required
by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

enforcement of remedies or exercise of rights upon the occurrence of a Default
or an Event of Default, or in case the Agent deems that, by reason of any
present or future law of any jurisdiction, it may not or may not effectively
exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein or in any Security
Document granted to it or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein or
in any Security Document granted, or take any other action which may be
desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Agent shall be entitled to

shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) each and every remedy,
power, right, title, interest, trust, duty and obligation expressed or intended

conveyed to or imposed upon, the Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable
by and vest in such separate or additional co-agent but only to the extent
necessary, appropriate or desirable to enable such separate or additional co-
agent to exercise or have vested in it such powers, rights, trusts, titles,
interests, duties and obligations and remedies, and every covenant and
obligation necessary, appropriate or desirable to the exercise thereof by such
separate or additional co-agent shall run to and be enforceable by either of
them.
The Agent shall have the right to terminate the appointment of any such
co-agent hereunder with the prior written consent of the Company and the
Required Holder(s) (except that, if the Agent shall have received written notice
from any Noteholder that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, such consent shall be required only of the Required Holder(s)),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Should any
instrument in writing from the Company be required by the separate or additional
co-agent so appointed by the Agent to more fully and certainly vest in and
confirm to it such remedies, rights, powers, titles, interests, trusts, duties
and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company. In case any separate or
additional co-agent, or a successor to either, shall become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all the remedies, rights, powers, titles, interests,

underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities held by Holders. If
a limitation of the number of shares to be included in such

permit inclusion of any additional securities, among all remaining
Holders and other holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to

entitled to inclusion (determined without regard to any requirement
of a request to be included in such

registration)in such registration held by all such remaining Holders
and other holders at the time of filing the registration statement;
and third, should the underwriter's limitation permit inclusion of
any additional securities, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly
as practicable, to the respective amounts of Founders Shares entitled
to inclusion (determined without regard to any requirement of a
request to be included in such registration) in such registration
held by all such Holders at the time of filing the registration
statement; provided, however, that the number of Registrable
Securities entitled to inclusion in any such registration, except for
the registration of the initial public offering of the Company's
securities, shall be no less than twenty percent (20%) of the total
number of shares covered by such registration. 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. If any Holder or other holder disapproves of the
terms of any such underwriting, he 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."

PACIFIC PAY VIDEO LIMITED
SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT
This Shareholders' Agreement (the "Shareholders' Agreement") is made as of
September 29, 1994 by and among PACIFIC PAY VIDEO LIMITED, a California
corporation (the "Company"), and the persons and entities listed on Exhibit A
---------
attached hereto (the "Shareholders").
R E C I T A L S
A. On July 23, 1992, the Company and certain securityholders of the
Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Series
A Agreement"), which, among other things, conferred upon certain securityholders
of the Company rights regarding the registration of shares of the Company's
Common Stock, certain covenant rights, and rights of first refusal upon the sale
of securities by any Purchasers (as those terms are defined in the Series A
Agreement).
B. On August 31, 1992, the Company and certain securityholders of the
Company entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Series
B Agreement"), which, among other things, conferred upon certain securityholders
of the Company certain covenant rights and rights regarding the registration of
shares of the Company's Common Stock which superseded the registration rights
granted in the Series A Agreement.
C. On March 17, 1993, the Company and certain securityholders of the
Company entered into a Series B Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(the "Second Series B Agreement"), which, among other things, conferred upon
certain securityholders of the Company certain covenant rights, rights of first
refusal, and rights regarding the registration of shares of the Company's Common
Stock which superseded the registration rights granted in the Series B
Agreement.
D. On September 29, 1993, the Company granted to COMSAT Video
Enterprises a warrant to purchase up to 1,575,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock (the "COMSAT Warrant") and in connection therewith, the Company and
certain other parties to the Second Series B Agreement entered into an Amendment
No. 1 to the Second Series B Agreement (the "Series B Amendment"), which
provided that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the COMSAT
Warrant would be deemed "Registrable Securities" under Section 8 of the Series B
Agreement.
E. On March 10, 1994, in connection with the Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement, the Company issued Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "First
Bridge Warrants"); and the Company and certain parties to the Second Series B
Agreement, as amended, entered into a new agreement (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), which superseded Section 8 of the Second Series B Agreement, as
amended by the Series B Amendment, in its entirety, contained provisions
substantially similar to those of Section 8 of the Second Series B Agreement, as
amended by the Series B Amendment, and granted such rights to the holders of
First Bridge Warrants.
F. On June 20, 1994, the Company granted to Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB")
and Hambrecht & Quist Guaranty Finance ("H&Q") warrants to purchase Common Stock
of the Company (the "SVB/H&Q Warrants"), and in connection therewith, the
Company and certain other parties to the Registration Rights Agreement entered
into the First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (the "First
Amendment"), which provided that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the SVB/H&Q Warrants would be deemed "Registrable Securities" under
the Registration Rights Agreement.
G. On September 12, 1994, in connection with the Second Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue certain warrants to
purchase Common Stock (the "Second Bridge Warrants"); and the Company and
certain parties to the Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, entered into
the Second Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (the "Second Amendment"),
which provided that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Second Bridge Warrants would be deemed "Registrable Securities" under the
Registration Rights Agreement, as amended.
H. In connection with the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock (the
"Series C Preferred") and warrants to purchase Series C Preferred Stock (the
"Series C Warrants") pursuant to the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "Series C Agreement"), the Shareholders constituting the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities (as that term is defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement, as amended) desire to enter into a new agreement
which will restate and supersede the Registration Rights Agreement, in its
entirety, and which will grant such registration rights to the holders of the
Series C Preferred and Series C Warrants. In addition, the Shareholders desire
to provide for certain rights and restrictions as to the securities held by
certain Shareholders as provided herein.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
-------------------
1.1 Certain Definitions. As used in this Shareholders' Agreement, the

amended, or any similar federal statute and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, as shall be in effect at the time.
The terms "register", "registered" and "registration" refer to a
-------- ---------- ------------
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Securities Act (and any post-effective amendments filed or
required to be filed), and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of
such registration statement; provided, however, that the foregoing terms shall
also include a registration in a foreign jurisdiction to the extent set forth in
Section 1.18.
1.2 Requested Registration.
----------------------
(a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive
------------------------
from Initiating Holders a written request six (6) months after the effective
date of the initial registration of the Company's securities, that the Company
effect any underwritten registration, qualification, or compliance with respect
to Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Holders, then the Company
shall:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, qualification, or compliance to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its most diligent efforts
to effect all such registration, qualification, or compliance (including,
without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective
amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state
securities laws, and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued
under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations)
as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written
request received by the Company within 20 days after the date the Company mails
such written notice;
Provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to
take any action to effect any such registration, qualification, or compliance
pursuant to this Section 1.2:
-4-
(A) In any jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification, or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Act;
(B) During the period starting with the date sixty
days prior to the Company's estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date
six months immediately following the effective date of any registration
statement pertaining to equity securities of the Company (other than a
registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an
employee benefit plan or initiated by security holders);
(C) Unless the registration will be requested for at
least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities; or
(D) At any time during which the Company is qualified
to use Form S-3 for registration of the Registrable Securities held by the
Holders.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (D), the Company
shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so
requested to be registered as soon as practicable, and in any event within 90
days, after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders;
provided, however, that if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a
registration statement under this Section 1.2, 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 shareholders 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 such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90)
days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided further,
that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month
period.
(b) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration
------------
pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested (unless
otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders
and such Holder) and to the extent provided herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders and holders of
other securities proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agree ment in customary form with the
managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of
the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2,
if the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the securities of the Company entitled to be included in such
registration which are not Registrable Securities shall be
-5-
excluded from such registration to the extent required by such limitation. If a
limitation of the number of shares is still required, then the Company shall so
advise all Holders, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may
be included in the registration and underwriting shall first be allocated among
Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of Registrable Securities, other than Founders Shares, entitled to
inclusion (determined without regard to any requirement of a request to be
included in such registration) in such registration held by all such Holders at
the time of filing the registration statement and, second, should the
underwriter's limitation permit inclusion of any additional securities, among
all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts
of Founders Shares entitled to inclusion (determined without regard to any
requirement of a request to be included in such registration) in such
registration held by all such Holders at the time of filing the registration
statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation shall be
included in such registration. 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 any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
If any Holder of Registrable Securities 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 Initiating
Holders. The Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall
also be withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable Securities shall not
be transferred in a public distribution prior to 90 days after the effective
date of such registration, or such other shorter period of time as the
underwriters may require. 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 in the same proportion and manner used in determining the
underwriter limitation in this Section 1.2(b).
If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of
Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities
for its own account or for the account of others in such registration if the
underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would
otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not
thereby be limited.
-6-
1.3 Company Registration.
--------------------
(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time,
----------------------
the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its
own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their
respective demand registration rights, other than (i) a registration relating
solely to employee benefit plans, or (ii) a registration relating solely to a
Rule 145 transaction, the Company shall:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
by each Holder received by the Company within 15 days after the Company mails
such written notice, subject to the provisions below.
(b) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration
------------
pursuant to Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon the participation by such
Holder in such underwriting, if any, and the inclu sion of the Registrable
Securities of such Holder in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the other holders 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 1.3, 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 held by Holders. If a limitation of the number of shares
to be included in such registration is required, then the Company shall so
advise all Holders, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities and other
securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be
allocated among all Holders and other holders of securities thereof first among
all Holders and other holders in proportion, as nearly as prac ticable, to the
respective amounts of securities, other than Founders Shares, entitled to
inclusion (determined without regard to any requirement of a request to be
included in such registration) in such registration held by all such Holders and
other holders at the time of filing the registration statement and, second,
should the underwriter's limitation permit inclusion of any additional
securities, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the
respective amounts of Founders Shares entitled to inclusion (determined without
regard to any requirement of a request to be included in such registration) in
such registration held by all such Holders at the time of filing the
registration statement; provided, however, that the number of Registrable
Securities entitled to inclusion in any such registration, except for the
registration of the initial public offering of the Company's securities, shall
be no less than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares covered by
such registration. 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. If any Holder or other holder disapproves of
the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to
-7-
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.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the
-------------------------------
right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
1.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from a
---------------------
Holder or Holders a written request that the Company effect a registration on
Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to an amount
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders for which the
anticipated aggregate offering price would be at least $500,000, the Company
shall:
(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 20
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 shareholders for such Form S-3
Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have
the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a
period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the initiating 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 twelve month period; (3) if
the Company has, within the 12 month period preceding the date of such request,
already effected one (1) registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to
this Section 1.4; or (4) in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Act.
Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall effect such
registration, qualification, or compliance (including, without limitation, the
execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualification under applicable blue sky or other state
-8-
securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued
under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations)
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.
If the registration to be effected pursuant to this Section 1.4
is to be an underwritten public offering, it shall be managed by an underwriter
or underwriters acceptable to the Company selected by a majority in interest of
the Holders requesting registration. In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to Section 1.4 shall be conditioned upon the participation
by such Holder in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Registrable
Securities of such Holder in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If
the managing underwriter so selected determines that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter
may limit the Registrable Securities held by such Holders to be included in such
registration. The Company shall so advise such Holders, and the number of shares
of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration shall be
allocated among such Holders in propor tion to the respective amounts of
Registrable Securities which would be held by each of such Holders at the time
of filing of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities that are so
excluded from the underwriting shall be excluded from the registration. As used
throughout this Section the term "Form S-3" shall be deemed to include any
equivalent successor form for registration pursuant to the Act.
1.5 Expenses of Registration.
------------------------
All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4
shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay for expenses of (i) any registrations requested pursuant to
Section 1.2 after the Company has effected three (3) such registrations pursuant
to Section 1.2 or 1.4 and such registrations have been declared or ordered
effective, and (ii) any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2,
the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders,
in which case such expenses shall be borne by the Holders of securities
(including Registrable Securities) pro rata in accordance with the number of
shares initially sought to be registered requesting or causing such withdrawal,
unless the Holders shall agree that such withdrawn registration shall be counted
as a registration for purposes of Section 1.2(a)(ii)(D). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such withdrawal is occasioned by the disclosure to the Initiating
Holders of a material adverse fact regarding the Company not known by the
Initiating Holders at the time of their request for registration then the
Company will bear such Registration Expenses and the Holders will retain their
rights under Section 1.2 hereof.
1.6 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by
-----------------------
the provisions of this Section to use its most diligent efforts to effect
promptly the registration of Registrable Securi ties, the Company shall:
-9-
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its most diligent efforts to
cause such registration statement to become and remain effective as provided
herein.
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and
current and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to
the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, including such amendments and supplements as may be
necessary to reflect the intended method of disposition of the prospective
seller or sellers of such Registrable Securities, but for no longer than one
hundred twenty (120) days subsequent to the effective date of such registration
in the case of a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any similar form of
registration statement required to set forth substantially identical
information) and for no longer than 90 days in the case of a registration
statement on Form S-3.
(c) Furnish to each prospective seller of Registrable Securities
such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents, as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities of such seller.
1.7 Indemnification. In the event any of the Registrable Securities are
---------------
included in a registration statement under this Section:
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers
and directors and partners and such Holder's separate legal counsel and
independent accountants, and each person con trolling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each underwriter, if any, and
each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, 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 each such Holder, each of its officers and directors and
partners and such Holders' separate legal counsel and independent accountants
and each person con trolling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person
who controls any such underwriter, 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
-10-
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 an instrument duly executed by such
Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder

officers and its legal counsel and independent accountants, each underwriter, if
any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each
person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of

officers and directors and each person con trolling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all 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 omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors,
officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but

omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein;
provided, however, that the obligations of each Holder hereunder shall be
limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to each such Holder of Registrable
Securities sold as contemplated herein.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section (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

lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense in the proportion that is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection
with the state ments 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 the Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of 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.
1.8 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable
---------------------
Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by
such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be

referred to in this Section.
1.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of

of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably
obtainable by the Company as a Holder
-12-

Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
1.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
---------------------------------
Company to register securities granted under this Section may be assigned to a
transferee or assignee in connection with the transfer or assignment of
Registrable Securities only if such shares represent at least 1% of the
outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock (assuming conversion of all
Preferred Stock to Common Stock, exercise of all warrants for Common Stock and
the conversion of all Series C Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
Series C Warrants) on the date of such assignment.
1.11 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the
---------------------------------------------
date of this Shareholders' Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding 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 the
Registrable Securities of the Holders 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 120 days of the effective date of any registration effected
pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.12 Amendment of Registration Rights. The registration rights provided
--------------------------------
in this Section may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company
and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities except that the
rights provided in Section 1.3 may not be amended or waived, so as to adversely
affect the holders of Founders Shares in a manner different from other Holders,
without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Founders Shares.
1.13 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to
----------------------------------
exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 after five years following the
consummation of the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement
filed by the Company under the Securities Act in connection with the initial

of a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering of the
Company's securities, provided that all officers and directors enter into
similar agreements. The obligations described in this Section 1.14 shall not
apply to a registration relating solely to
-13-
employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar form that may be
promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to the securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the
end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period.
1.15 Option to Conduct Foreign Registration. To the extent the Company
--------------------------------------
is obligated to register securities pursuant to this Section 1, such obligation
may be satisfied, at the Company's option, by effecting a registration in a
jurisdiction other than the United States, pursuant to the applicable securities
laws of such jurisdiction. In the event the Company effects a registration in a
foreign jurisdiction, provided that in the good faith judgment of the board of
directors of the Company registration in such jurisdiction is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders, and the Holders will not be
materially adversely affected by such choice of jurisdiction, (i) the rights of
holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof shall apply to
such registration, and (ii) references in this Section 1 to laws, rules, and
customary practices applicable to a registration under United States securities
laws shall be interpreted so as to reflect as nearly as possible the relevant
laws, rules, and customary practices related to a securities registration in the
jurisdiction in which such registration is made.

----------------------------
constituting a majority in interest of the Holders (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement, as amended) hereby agree that the execution and
delivery of this Shareholders' Agreement is an amendment of the Registration
Rights Agreement, as amended, and that the registration rights contained therein
