         Before any Restricted Investor may effect any Transfer of any Offered
Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer), such Restricted Investor (the
"Proposed Transferor") must give written notice concurrently to the Company and
the other Restricted Investors ("Seller Notice") stating (a) the Proposed
Transferor's bona fide intention to transfer such Offered Shares, (b) the number
of the Offered Shares to be Transferred, (c) the name, address and relationship
to the Proposed Transferor, if any, of each proposed purchaser or other
transferee (the "Proposed Transferee"), (d) the bona fide cash price per Offered
Share (the "Offered Price"); and (e) the anticipated date of the proposed
Transfer, which shall be a date not earlier than 30 days after the date the
Seller Notice is delivered. Upon the request of the Company or a Restricted
Investor, the Proposed Transferor will promptly furnish such information to the
Company and to the Restricted Investor as may be reasonably requested to
establish that the offer and proposed Transfer are bona fide.

3.4.     RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

         With respect to any Transfer by any Proposed Transferor (other than a
Permitted Transfer), the Company and each Restricted Investor shall have the
right of first refusal ("Right of First Refusal") to purchase the Offered
Shares, exercisable as set forth below:

         (a)      The Company shall have the right to purchase all, but not less
than all, of the Offered Shares. If the Company desires to purchase all of the
Offered Shares, the Company must, within the 10 day period (the "Company Refusal
Period") commencing on the date of receipt of the Seller Notice, give written
notice to the Proposed Transferor of the Company's election to purchase the
Offered Shares. In the event that the Company elects not to purchase all of the
Offered Shares, the Offered Shares may be purchased by the Restricted Investors
as set forth in Section 3.4(b). On or before the expiration of the Company
Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the "Company Waiver
Notice") to the Restricted Investors specifying either (i) that all of the
Offered Shares were subscribed by the Company's exercising its Right of First
Refusal or (ii) that the Company waived its right to purchase the Offered
Shares. Notwithstanding any failure by the Company to deliver a Company Waiver
Notice, a failure by the Company to exercise its Right of First Refusal within
the Company Refusal Period shall be deemed a waiver of such right.

         (b)      In the event the Company does not purchase all of the Offered
Shares, each Restricted Investor shall have the opportunity to purchase up to
such Restricted Investor's pro rata share of the Offered Shares. For purposes of
this Section 3.4(b), a Restricted Investor's pro rata share shall be determined
by dividing the number of Restricted Shares held by a Restricted Investor by the
total number of Restricted Shares held by all Restricted Investors purchasing
Offered Shares pursuant to this Section 3.4(b). If any Restricted Investor, or
its assignees who are Affiliates of such Restricted Investor, desires to
purchase the Offered Shares, such Restricted Investor must, within a 5 day
period (the "Investor Refusal Period") commencing on the later date of (i) the
Company Waiver Notice or (ii) the 10th day after the Seller Notice, give written
notice ("Investor Notice") to the Proposed Transferor and to the Company of such
Restricted Investor's election to purchase such Restricted Investor's pro rata
share of the remaining Offered Shares, or such lesser number as may be stated in
such Restricted Investor's Investor Notice.

                                       10



The participating Restricted Investors also may allocate the right to purchase
the Offered Shares between or among them in any proportion they choose as
reflected in a notice to the Proposed Transferor within the Investor Refusal
Period. In the event that any Restricted Investor elects not to purchase any of
the Offered Shares, such Restricted Investor shall, prior to the expiration of
the Investor Refusal Period, give written notice ("Investor Waiver Notice") to
the Proposed Transferor that the Restricted Investor is waiving such Restricted
Investor's right to purchase all such Offered Shares under this Section 3.4(b).
Notwithstanding any failure by a Restricted Investor to deliver an Investor
Waiver Notice, a failure by a Restricted Investor to exercise such Restricted
Investor's Right of First Refusal within the Investor Refusal Period shall be
deemed a waiver of such right. If any Restricted Investor does not exercise its
right of first refusal in full with respect to the Offered Shares within the
Investor Refusal Period, then each Restricted Investor who requested to purchase
in excess of its pro rata share of such Offered Shares shall be allowed to
purchase such excess. If the total number of shares to be purchased pursuant to
the foregoing sentence exceeds the number of remaining Offered Shares available
for purchase, then such remaining shares shall be allocated among such
Requesting Investors in proportion to the number of Restricted Shares owned by
each of them, or in any other manner to which they agree.

         (c)      The purchase price for the Offered Shares to be purchased by
the Company or the Restricted Investors exercising their Right of First Refusal
under this Agreement will be the Offered Price, and will be payable within 10
days after the date the Right of First Refusal is first exercised for all of the
Offered Shares. Payment of the purchase price will be made by the exercising
Company or Restricted Investors (as the case may be) by check or wire transfer
of immediately available funds.

         (d)      If the Company or Restricted Investors exercise their Rights
of First Refusal to purchase all of the Offered Shares, then, upon consummation
of such purchase, the Proposed Transferor will have no further rights as a
holder of the Offered Shares except the right to receive payment for the Offered
Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Proposed
Transferor will promptly cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered
Shares, together with such other instruments and documents of transfer as the
Persons acquiring the Offered Shares shall reasonably request, to be surrendered
to the Company for Transfer to the Persons acquiring the Offered Shares (free
and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever except those
imposed by this Agreement and securities laws generally).

         (e)      If the Company or the Restricted Investors have not elected to
purchase all of the Offered Shares, then, subject to the Co-Sale Rights set
forth in Section 3.5, the Proposed Transferor may Transfer the remaining Offered
Shares to the Proposed Transferee, at the Offered Price or at a higher price,
provided that such Transfer (i) is consummated within 90 days after the date of
the Seller Notice and (ii) is in accordance with all the terms of this
Agreement. Any proposed Transfer at a price or on terms and conditions more
favorable than those described in the Seller Notice, as well as any subsequent
proposed Transfer of any of the Offered Shares by the Proposed Transferor, shall
again be subject to this Section 3.4 and shall require full compliance by the
Proposed Transferor with the procedures in this Section 3.4.

                                       11



3.5.     CO-SALE RIGHTS

         Notwithstanding Section 3.4(e), no Proposed Transferor (each, a
"Co-Sale Seller") shall Transfer any of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section
3.4(e) to a Proposed Transferee until such Co-Sale Seller has given written
notice to each of the Restricted Investors of the right (the "Co-Sale Right"),
exercisable either within 5 days after the date of such Person's Investor Waiver
Notice or within 15 business days following receipt of the Seller Notice,
whichever is later, to sell to a Proposed Transferee all or part of such
Investor's Portion of the Offered Shares, on the same terms and conditions as
set forth in the Seller Notice (including the same price per Share), on an
as-converted-to-Common-Stock basis. A Restricted Investor may exercise the Right
of Co-Sale by delivering to the Co-Sale Seller at the closing of the Transfer of
Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee one or more certificates, properly
endorsed for Transfer, representing such stock to be Transferred by the
Restricted Investor. At the closing of the Transfer of Offered Shares to the
Proposed Transferee, such certificates or other instruments will be Transferred
and delivered to the Proposed Transferee as set forth in the Seller Notice in
consummation of the Transfer of the Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and
conditions specified in such notice, and the Co-Sale Seller will remit, or will
cause the Proposed Transferee to remit, to the participating Restricted Investor
at closing that portion of the proceeds of the Transfer to which the Restricted
Investor is entitled by reason of the Restricted Investor's participation in
such Transfer pursuant to the Co-Sale Right. If the Offered Shares consists of
more than one series or class or type of stock and the Proposed Transferee is
not willing to purchase shares of a class of preferred stock held by the
Restricted Investors, then the Restricted Investors exercising a Right of
Co-Sale will have the opportunity to convert such shares of Preferred Stock into
Common Stock, and the Company will cooperate to effect such conversion.

3.6.     PREEMPTIVE RIGHT

         For so long as any Preferred Stock remains outstanding, each Investor
holding Preferred Stock shall have the right (the "Participation Right") to
purchase such Investor's Pro Rata Amount of any New Securities Portion that the
Company may from time to time propose to sell and issue after the date hereof,
at the price and upon the general terms specified in the New Issue Notice (as
defined below) regarding such New Securities and otherwise on the following
terms:

         (a)      Whenever the Company proposes to issue and sell any New
Securities, the Company shall give each Investor written notice (a "New Issue
Notice") describing the type and amount of New Securities proposed to be issued
and the price and general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such
New Securities, specifying a proposed closing date and specifying in each case
the New Securities Portion and recipient's Pro Rata Amount as of the date of the
New Issue Notice.

         (b)      Each Investor may exercise its Participation Right with
respect to any proposed New Securities by notice to the Company, given within 15
days after the Investors shall have received the New Issue Notice describing the
New Securities.

         (c)      If any Investor does not exercise its Participation Right with
respect to any proposed New Securities within the 15 day period, then within 1
business day after the expiration of such 15 day period, the Company shall
notify each Investor who proposed to purchase not less

                                       12



than such Investor's Pro Rata Amount of such New Securities of the number of
shares of New Securities which remain available for purchase. Upon receipt of
the notice specified in the preceding sentence, each such Investor shall have
the additional Participation Right to purchase such Investor's Pro Rata Amount
of the remaining New Securities Portion (considering the Shares held by all
Investors who purchased less than their Pro Rata Amount of the New Securities
not to be issued and outstanding for purposes of computing the Pro Rata Amount),
exercisable by written notice delivered to the Company within 2 business days
after receipt of the notice of the availability of the balance of the New
Securities. Such Investors also may allocate the right to purchase the New
Securities between or among them in any proportion they choose as reflected in a
written notice to the Company within such 15 day or 2 business day period, as
the case may be.

         (d)      The Company may sell the New Securities not committed for by
Investors at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers
than those specified in the New Issue Notice with regard to such New Securities,
at any time during (and only during) the 90 days following the expiration of the
last notice period specified in Section 3.6(c).

         (e)      The sale of any New Securities to Investors pursuant to this
Section 3.6 shall be closed on the same terms, at the same place as, and
simultaneously with, the sale of any such New Securities to any other purchasers
(provided that the closing shall not take place earlier than the proposed
closing date specified in the applicable New Issue Notice without the consent of
all participating Investors).

3.7.     RESTRICTIVE LEGEND; STOP TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS

         (a)      The Investors understand and agree that the Company will cause
the legend set forth below, or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be
placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents or instruments evidencing
ownership of Shares by the Investors (and each Investor agrees to provide each
of its certificates for Shares to the Company so that such legend may be
affixed):

         THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS
         ON TRANSFER, CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL AND RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING
         RIGHTS, AS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY
         THE HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
         COMPANY. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF
         THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE
         SHALL BE MADE EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT.

         (b)      Stop-Transfer Instructions. The Investors agree, to ensure
compliance with the restrictions referred to in this Agreement, that the Company
may issue appropriate "stop transfer" certificates or instructions and that, if
the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to
the same effect in its records.

                                       13



3.8.     RIGHTS TO COMPEL SALE

         (a)      If Restricted Investors holding in excess of sixty-six and
two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of all Restricted Shares then held by all
Restricted Investors (collectively the "Controlling Stockholders") wish to sell
to any Independent Third Party (the "Compelled Sale Purchaser") all Restricted
Shares held by the Controlling Stockholders in the aggregate (the "Compelled
Sale Transfer Offer"), then each and every one of the Restricted Investors other
than the Controlling Stockholders (the "Remaining Stockholders") agrees to sell
all Restricted Shares then held by such Remaining Stockholders to such Compelled
Sale Purchaser at the same time for the same price and on the same terms and
conditions as the Controlling Stockholders.

         (b)      The Controlling Stockholders shall exercise their rights
hereunder by written notice (the "Compelled Transfer Notice") to the Company,
and the Company shall deliver the Compelled Transfer Notice to the Remaining
Stockholders at least thirty (30) days prior to the expected closing date (the
"Expected Closing Date") of the transactions contemplated by the Compelled Sale
Transfer Offer. The Compelled Transfer Notice shall include the consideration
per share of Restricted Shares to be paid by the Compelled Sale Purchaser and
the other terms and conditions of the Compelled Sale Transfer Offer. On or
before ten (10) days prior to the Expected Closing Date, each of the Remaining
Stockholders shall deliver to a representative of the Controlling Stockholders
designated in the Compelled Sale Transfer Notice certificates representing the
Restricted Shares held by such Remaining Stockholder, free and clear of any and
all liens and encumbrances whatsoever, together with such other documents and
instruments of transfer that the Compelled Sale Purchaser may reasonably
request. The Remaining Stockholders also agree to otherwise cooperate with and
execute and deliver such other documents as may be reasonably requested in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Compelled Sale Transfer
Offer including, without limitation, documents containing representations and
warranties as to title, power and authority and such other representations and
warranties as are appropriate in transactions of this type.

         (c)      If within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Expected
Closing Date, the Controlling Stockholders have not completed the sale of all
the relevant Restricted Shares (unless such failure is due to a Remaining
Stockholders' failure to surrender for transfer his or its certificates), the
Controlling Stockholders shall return to each of the Remaining Stockholders all
certificates representing the Restricted Shares previously delivered by the
Remaining Stockholders, and all the restrictions on Transfers contained in this
Agreement with respect to the Shares of the Company shall again be in effect.
Failure to complete the sale of all the Restricted Shares shall not be a breach
of any Controlling Stockholder's obligations under this Agreement and shall not
constitute a waiver of the rights of the Controlling Stockholders to again
exercise their rights under this Section 3.8 at any time thereafter; provided,
that the Controlling Stockholders may not exercise the rights under this Section
3.8 more than once in any 12 month period.

         (d)      Immediately upon consummation of the sale of Restricted Shares
of the Controlling Stockholders and Remaining Stockholders pursuant to this
Section 3.8, the Controlling Stockholders shall give notice thereof to the
Remaining Stockholders, shall remit to each of the Remaining Stockholders the
net sales proceeds of the Restricted Shares of such

                                       14



Remaining Stockholders sold pursuant thereto (after deduction of a pro rata
amount among all Stockholders of amounts placed in escrow, reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the transaction and other appropriate
deductions), and shall furnish such other evidence of the completion of such
sale as may be reasonably requested by such Remaining Stockholders.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.8,
if the sale of Restricted Shares pursuant to this Section 3.8 would qualify
under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation as a "Liquidation Event" giving
rise to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock to receive liquidation
preferences, then the proceeds of the sale of Restricted Shares pursuant to this
Section 3.8 shall be allocated and remitted among the Restricted Investors
participating in such sale in proportion to the preferential amounts each would
be entitled to receive based on the relative liquidation preferences and
priorities of their respective Restricted Shares (after deduction of a pro rata
amount among all Stockholders of amounts placed in escrow, reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the transaction and other appropriate
deductions).

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

Requirement is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, use its best efforts to ensure that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as

a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party
thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms.

4.3.     SEVERABILITY

         Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or
