1.   Co-Sale Provisions.

     1A. Co-Sale Right. Subject to Paragraph 1C of this Agreement, whenever and
as often as any party hereto (a "Selling Shareholder") desires to sell any
Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Warrant Shares or Common
Stock ("Triggering Securities"), the Selling Shareholder shall give written
notice (the "Selling Shareholder Notice") to each other party hereto that is a
holder of Company Securities and each Permitted Transferee thereof that is a
holder of Company Securities (each, an "Offeree Shareholder") to such effect,
enclosing a copy of the written offer (or, if no written offer exists, a
detailed written summary of such unwritten offer) specifying the number and type
of Triggering Securities which the Selling Shareholder desires to sell (and, in
the case of Triggering Securities other than Common Stock, the number of shares
of Common Stock such Triggering Securities are convertible into, or exercisable
or exchangeable for), the name of the Person(s) to whom the Selling Shareholder
desires to make such sale and the purchase price per share of Triggering
Securities which has been offered in connection with such offer. Each Offeree
Shareholder shall have the right, at such Offeree Shareholder's option, either
to (a) exercise its rights, if any, under Paragraph 2B of the Shareholders
Agreement (if such Paragraph 2B applies to such sale) or (b) to participate in
the sale to the prospective purchaser pursuant to this Paragraph 1 (the "Co-Sale
Right").

     1B. Exercise of Co-Sale Right. An Offeree Shareholder may exercise his or
its Co-Sale Right by giving written notice (the "Offeree Shareholder Notice") to
the Selling Shareholder within 20 days after the receipt of the Selling
Shareholder Notice. If any Offeree Shareholder exercises his or its Co-Sale
Right, the Selling Shareholder shall arrange for the sale to the prospective
purchaser of up to a quantity of Company Securities (including, in the case of a
sale of Common Stock or Company Securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, Common Stock, shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange of such Company Securities) of each Offeree
Shareholder delivering an Offeree Shareholder Notice which bears the same
proportion to the total number of shares of Common Stock (on a fully-diluted
basis) owned by such Offeree Shareholder as the number of shares of Common Stock
(on a fully-diluted basis) being sold by the Selling Shareholder bears to the
total number of shares of Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) owned by the
Selling Shareholder, at the purchase price per share and on the terms and
conditions specified in the Selling Shareholder Notice. For purposes of this
Paragraph 1B:

          (a) if the Selling Shareholder proposes to sell only Common Stock, an
Offeree Shareholder may elect to sell (i) Common Stock (1) held by such Offeree
Shareholder and/or (2) issuable to such Offeree Shareholder upon the conversion,
exercise or exchange of other Company Securities held by such Offeree
Shareholder, at the purchase price per share specified for the Common Stock in
the Selling Shareholder Notice, and/or (ii) Company Securities held by such
Offeree Shareholder which are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable
for, Common Stock, at the purchase price per share of Common Stock specified in
the Selling Shareholder Notice multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock into which a share of such Company Securities are then convertible into,
or exercisable or exchangeable for;

          (b) if the Selling Shareholder proposes to sell only Preferred Stock,
an Offeree Shareholder may elect to sell (i) Preferred Stock of the same series
as that being sold by the Selling Shareholder held by such Offeree Shareholder,
at the purchase price per share specified

                                       3



for the Preferred Stock in the Selling Shareholder Notice and/or (ii) Common
Stock (1) held by such Offeree Shareholder and/or (2) issuable to such Offeree
Shareholder upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of other Company
Securities held by such Offeree Shareholder, at a price determined by dividing
(A) (x) the purchase price per share of the Preferred Stock specified in the
Selling Shareholder Notice minus (y) if the Preferred Stock to be sold by the
Selling Shareholder is Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Liquidation Value
(as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) per share of the Series A
Preferred Stock as of the date of the sale by (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock into which a share of the Preferred Stock to be sold by the Selling
Shareholder is then convertible; and

          (c) if the Selling Shareholder proposes to sell Preferred Stock and
Common Stock, an Offeree Shareholder may elect to sell (i) Preferred Stock of
the same series as that being sold by the Selling Shareholder held by such
Offeree Shareholder at the purchase price per share specified for the Preferred
Stock in the Selling Shareholder Notice and/or (ii) Common Stock (1) held by
such Offeree Shareholder and/or (2) issuable to such Offeree Shareholder upon
the conversion, exercise or exchange of Company Securities held by such Offeree
Shareholder, at a price determined by dividing (A) (x) the purchase price per
share of the Preferred Stock specified in the Selling Shareholder Notice minus
(y) if the Preferred Stock to be sold by the Selling Shareholder is Series A
Preferred Stock, the Series A Liquidation Value (as defined in the Articles of
Incorporation) per share of the Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of the
sale by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of the
Preferred Stock to be sold by the Selling Shareholder is then convertible;
provided, that the reduction described in clause (A)(y) above will apply only to
a proportion of the Common Stock to be included by an Offeree Shareholder that
is equal to the proportion that the Series A Preferred Stock (on an as-converted
basis), to be included by the Selling Shareholder bears to the total quantity of
Common Stock and Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis) to be included by
the Selling Shareholder.

     1C. Immediate Vesting of Company Securities; Excluded Transactions. For
purposes of this Part 1, Company Securities that are convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock, at such Offeree Shareholder's
option, shall vest immediately prior to the closing of the sale of the shares of
Company Securities by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this Part 1 so that
such shares may be issued and sold hereunder by such Offeree Shareholder and
shall be considered issued and outstanding for purposes of making the above
calculations. The Co-Sale Right shall not apply to (a) the repurchase or
redemption by the Company of any Company Securities, (b) any event which is a
"liquidation" (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation), (c) transfers of
Company Securities to any Permitted Transferee, provided such Permitted
Transferee complies with the provisions of Paragraph 1D(ii) of this Agreement,
(d) a pledge of Company Securities to the Lenders as acknowledged by the parties
hereto pursuant to Paragraph 5M of the Shareholders Agreement, (e) transfers of
Preferred B Warrant Shares, provided such Preferred B Warrant Shares are
transferred as part of a transaction in which not less than a proportional
amount of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the transferring holder
and its Affiliates are also transferred or (f) transfers of shares of Series D
Underlying Common Stock, provided such shares of Series D Underlying Common
Stock are transferred as part of a transaction in which not less than a
proportional amount of the shares of Series D-2 Preferred Stock held by the
transferring holder and its Affiliates are also transferred.

                                       4



     1D. Purchasers or Transferees of Capital Stock. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, any transferee or other Person who shall acquire
(either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) any
shares of Company Securities that were originally held by a party to this
Agreement shall be bound by, and shall have the benefit of, all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as such party. The Company shall
not effect any such transfer of Company Securities until: (i) it has received
evidence satisfactory to it that all of the provisions of this Agreement
applicable to such transfer have been complied with and (ii) each transferee or
other Person (and such transferee's or other Person's spouse) of such Company
Securities has executed an addendum agreement with the parties hereto in the
form of Exhibit A attached hereto, agreeing to be bound hereby. Each transferee
of, or other Person acquiring, Company Securities shall take such Company
Securities subject to, and be fully bound by, this Agreement with the same
effect as if it were a party hereto, with those rights and obligations hereunder
expressly provided herein.
