means: (1) all the shares of Common Stock of the Company issued or issuable
under this Agreement and (2) any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued as
(or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other
security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to,
or in exchange for or in replacement of, any such shares of Common Stock
described in clause (1) of this subsection (iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Registrable Securities shall exclude any Registrable Securities sold by a person
in a transaction in which rights under this Section 7.3 are not assigned in
accordance with this Agreement or any Registrable Securities sold in a public
offering, whether sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act, in a registered offering, or otherwise.
11
<PAGE>
(v) Registrable Securities Then Outstanding. The number of shares of
---------------------------------------
"Registrable Securities then outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of
- ----------------------------------------
Common Stock that are Registrable Securities and are then issued and
outstanding.
(vi) Form S-3. The term "Form S-3" means such form under the
-------- --------
Securities Act as in effect on the date hereof or any successor registration
form under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits
inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other
documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
(b) Piggyback Registrations.
-----------------------
(i) Notice. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable
------
Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration
statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering
of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration
statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but
excluding registration statements relating to any registration under subsection
(c) of this Section 7.3, to any employee benefit plan or to any merger or other
corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to
include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by
such Holder shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described
notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice
shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder
wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to
include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement
thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have
the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration
statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect
to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
(ii) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the
------------
Company gives notice under this Section 7.3(b) is for an underwritten offering,
then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such
event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a
registration pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) 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 provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing
underwriter determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing
underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting,
and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the
underwriting shall be allocated, first to the Company, and second, to each of
----- ------
the Holders and other holders of registration rights on a parity with the
Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such
registration statement on a pro rata basis based on
12
<PAGE>
the total number of Registrable Securities and other securities entitled to
registration then held by each such Holder or other holder; provided, however,
--------- -------
that the right of the underwriters to exclude shares (including Registrable
Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be
restricted so that all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held
by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an
employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company)
shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any
Registrable Securities are so excluded (other than to the extent that such
persons are non-employee directors or other non-employees of the Company who
hold registration rights on a parity with the Holders, such non-employee
directors and other non-employees being entitled to participate with the
participating Holders on the basis described under "second" above). If any
------
Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect
to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter,
delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the
registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from
such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For
any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired
partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners
and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing
persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all
corporations that are affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single
Holder, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such Holder shall be based
upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all
entities and individuals included in such Holder.
(iii) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a
--------
registration pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) (excluding underwriters' and
brokers' discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders and
legal fees of counsel for the Holders), including, without limitation all
federal and "blue sky" registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company,
shall be borne by the Company.
(c) Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall at any time after
---------------------
January 31, 1998 receive from any Holder or Holders of a majority of all
Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the
Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or
compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by
such Holder or Holders, then the Company shall:
(i) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed
------
registration and the Holder's or Holders' request therefor, and any related
qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(ii) Registration. 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
Holders 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 twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated
by Section 7.3(c);
13
<PAGE>
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
- --------- -------
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 7.3(c):
(A) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(B) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other
securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to
sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) representing less
than 50% of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders;
(C) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate
signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders 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 no more
than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than
ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under
this Section 7.3(c);
(D) if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding
the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities
Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders
have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable
Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to
the provisions of Section 7.3(b); or
(E) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(iii) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in
--------
connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 7.3(c),
(excluding underwriters' or brokers' discounts and commissions relating to
shares sold by the Holders and legal fees of counsel for the Holders), including
without limitation federal and "blue sky" registration, filing and qualification
fees, printers' and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel.
(d) Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
--------------------------
registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(i) Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a
----------------------
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its
best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and remain
effective (including the filing of any necessary amendments or supplements to
such registration statement) until the Holder has completed the distribution
contemplated thereby or until Holder's remaining Registrable Securities may be
sold under Rule 144 during a period of ninety (90) days. Notwithstanding the
foregoing,
14
<PAGE>
if the Company shall furnish to Holder whose Registrable Securities are included
in such registration statement, a certificate signed by the President or Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its
stockholders for such Holders to continue to make sales thereunder, the Holders
will, upon receipt of such notice, discontinue the sale of such Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of (A)
receipt of a further notice that sales may be resumed or (B) ninety (90) days
after receipt of the initial notice. The Company may not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
(ii) Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such
--------------------------
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(iii) Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders 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 they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.
(iv) Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
--------
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
"blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent
to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(v) Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering,
------------
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each
Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(vi) Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
------------
covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
then existing. In such event, the Company shall prepare a supplement or post-
effective amendment to such registration statement or related prospectus or file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers
of Registrable Securities sold thereunder, the prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(vii) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any
--------------------------
Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such
Registrable Securities are
15
<PAGE>
delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold
through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such
securities becomes effective, (A) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the
counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form
and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders
requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the
Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (B) a "comfort"
letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants
of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent
certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering
and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting
registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders
requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
(e) Furnish information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
-------------------
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 7.3(b) or (c)
that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the
Registration of their Registrable Securities.
(f) Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
---------------
in a registration statement under Section 7.3:
(i) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
--------------
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, officers and directors of
each Holder, any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such
Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"):
---------
(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto;
(B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, or
(C) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any
federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such
registration statement;
16
<PAGE>
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director,
underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
--------- -------
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 7.3(f) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter
or controlling person of such Holder.
(ii) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling
------------------
Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such
registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or
officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director,
officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or
director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the
extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for
use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner,
officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
- --------- -------
7.3(f) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided,
---------
further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this
- -------
Section 7.3(f) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds
received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation
arises.
(iii) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
------
this Section 7.3(f) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7.3(f), deliver
to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
-----------------
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, to the extent that representation of such
17
<PAGE>
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such
indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
Proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve
such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section
7.3(f) to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof,
but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnified party will not
relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise
than under this Section 7.3(f).
(iv) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity
-------------------------------------
agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar
as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated
or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the
registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus
filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such
----------------
indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of
the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the indemnified party and was not
furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or
prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.
(g) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
------------
to joint liability under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in any case in
which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any
controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Section 7.3 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a
final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration
of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this Section 7.3 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act may be required on the part of any
such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which
indemnification is provided under this Section 7.3; then, and in each such case,
the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from
others) in such proportion so that such Holder is responsible for the portion
represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable
Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the
public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such
registration statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are
responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such
--------- -------
case: (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by
such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(h) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under Section
--------
7.3f shall survive until the third anniversary of the completion of any offering
of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the
expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.
18
<PAGE>
(i) Termination of the Company's Obligations. The Company shall have
----------------------------------------
no obligations pursuant to this Section 7.3 with respect to any Registrable
Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section
7.3(b) or (c) more than three (3) years after the date of this Agreement, or,
if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities
proposed to be sold by a Holder may then be sold under Rule 144 in any three-
month period without exceeding the volume limitations thereunder.
(j) No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior
---------------------------------------
written consent of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not
grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity
any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the "piggyback" or Form
S-3 registration rights described in this Section 7.3, or otherwise) relating to
shares of the Company's Common Stock or any other voting securities of the
Company, other than rights that are on a parity with or subordinate in right to
the Holders.
(k) Assignment. The registration rights of the Investor may be
----------
assigned to any person or entity acquiring Registrable Securities other than a
competitor of the Company; provided, however, that no party may be assigned any
--------- -------
of the foregoing rights unless the Company is given written notice by the
assigning party at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of
the assignee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the
rights in question are being assigned; and provided, further, that any such
------------------
assignee shall receive such assigned rights subject to all the terms and
conditions of Section 7.3 of this Agreement.
7.4 Right to Participate in Certain Financings.
------------------------------------------
(a) Right to Participate. So long as Investor or a Majority-Owned
--------------------
Subsidiary of Investor owns at least 75% of the Purchased Shares (as adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar events), the Investor shall have
the right of first refusal to purchase up to 15% of any New Securities (as
defined below) issued from time to time after the date of this Agreement by
majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company in financings for such subsidiaries
(excluding @Ventures financings) in which investors other than the Company (and
other than employees of and consultants to the Company and its Subsidiaries) are
participating (although the Company's participation in financings in which other
investors are participating will be subject to the provisions of this Section
7.4) (the "Right of Participation").
----------------------
(b) New Securities. "New Securities" shall mean any common stock,
-------------- --------------
preferred stock or other voting capital stock, whether now authorized or not,
and rights, options or warrants to purchase such common stock or preferred
stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become,
convertible or exchangeable into such common stock, preferred stock or other
capital stock, provided, however, that the term "New Securities" shall not
-------- -------
include: (i) any securities issued in connection with any stock split stock,
dividend or other similar event in which all Participation Rights Holders are
entitled to participate on a pro rata basis; or (ii) any securities issued upon
the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding security if such
outstanding security constituted a New Security.
19
<PAGE>
(c) Procedures. In the event that a majority-owned subsidiary of the
----------
Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities to which the Right
of Participation applies, the Company shall give to the Participation Rights
Holder written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the
"Participation Notice"), describing the amount and the type of New Securities
- ---------------------
and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue
such New Securities. The Participation Rights Holder shall have ten (10)
business days from the date of receipt of any such Participation Notice to agree
in writing to purchase up to 15% of such New Securities or any lesser percentage
of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified
in the Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating
therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed 15% of the
New Securities being offered). If the Participation Rights Holder fails to so
agree in writing within such ten (10) business day period to purchase the entire
15% of an offering of New Securities, then the Participation Rights Holder shall
forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that percentage of such New Securities
that it did not so agree to purchase. The Participation Rights Holder shall
purchase the portion elected by such Participation Rights Holder concurrently
with the closing of the transaction triggering the Right of Participation.
(d) Failure to Exercise. Upon the expiration of such ten (10) day
-------------------
period, a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company shall have 120 days
thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the Participation Notice
(with respect to which the Participation Rights Holders' rights of first refusal
hereunder were not exercised), or enter into an agreement to do so, within sixty
(60) days thereafter, at no less than ninety percent (90%) of the price and upon
non-price terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than
specified in the Participation Notice. In the event that such majority-owned
subsidiary has not issued and sold such New Securities within such 120 day
period, or entered into an agreement to do so within sixty (60) days thereafter,
then such majority-owned subsidiary shall not thereafter issue or sell any New
Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Participation
Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 7.4; provided, however that Investor
shall have five (5) business days to respond to a second Participation Notice
relating to an investment in which there has been a price change or other
material change in the non-price terms.
(e) Assignment. The rights under this Section 7.4 may not be
----------
assigned by Investor except to Majority-Owned Subsidiaries. The rights will
expire if such an assignee no longer satisfies the definition of a Majority-
Owned Subsidiary, unless the rights are assigned to Investor or another
Majority-Owned Subsidiary.
7.5 Right to Participate in @Ventures Financings. So long as Investor or
--------------------------------------------
a Majority-Owned Subsidiary of Investor owns at least 75% of the Purchased
Shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar events), the
Company and its affiliate, @Ventures, agree to use commercially reasonable
efforts to allow Investor to participate in new investments by the @ Ventures
entities and their successors. The dollar amount and percentage participation
in any investment offered to Investor under this Section 7.5 shall be determined
by good faith negotiations among the Company, @Ventures and the Investor. The
Company and @Ventures shall provide Investor with reasonable notice (not to
exceed two (2) business days) of any proposed investment and, to the extent
legally permitted, will allow Investor access to the due
20
<PAGE>
diligence materials collected by them in connection with the possible
investment. Except as may be otherwise agreed by the parties, it is
contemplated that any investment by Investor shall be on substantially the same
terms and conditions as the Company and/or @Ventures. The rights under this
Section 7.5 may not be assigned by Investor except to Majority-Owned
Subsidiaries. The rights will expire if such an assignee no longer satisfies
the definition of a Majority-Owned Subsidiary, unless the rights are assigned to
Investor or another Majority-Owned Subsidiary.
7.6 Obligations Regarding Confidential Information.
----------------------------------------------
(a) Obligations. Except to the extent required by law or judicial
-----------
order or except as provided herein, each party to this Agreement will hold any
of the other's Confidential Information (as defined in the next paragraph) in
confidence and will: (i) use the same degree of care to prevent unauthorized
disclosure or use of the Confidential Information that the receiving party uses
with its own information of like nature (but in no event less than reasonable
care), (ii) limit disclosure of the Confidential Information, including any
materials regarding the Confidential Information that the receiving party has
generated, to such of its employees and contractors as have a need to know the
Confidential Information, and (iii) advise its employees, agents and contractors
of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and of the receiving
party's obligations under this Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement
previously entered into by the parties hereto.
(b) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
-------------------
"Confidential Information" refers to confidential information furnished to
- -------------------------
Investor pursuant to Section 7.2. Any employee or contractor of the receiving
party having access to the Confidential Information will be required to sign a
non-disclosure agreement protecting the Confidential Information if not already
bound by such a non-disclosure agreement.
(c) Non-Disclosure of Agreements. Either party may disclose the
----------------------------
terms of this Agreement to the extent required by law or judicial order,
provided that if such disclosure is pursuant to judicial order or Proceedings,
the disclosing party will notify the other party promptly before such disclosure
and will cooperate with the other party to seek confidential treatment with
respect to the disclosure if requested by the other party and provided further
that if such disclosure is required pursuant to the rules and regulations of any
federal, state or local organization, the parties will cooperate to seek
confidential treatment of the Agreement to the maximum extent possible under
law.
(d) Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, the parties will
--------------------
agree on the content of a press release announcing the existence of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which press release will be issued
as mutually agreed by the parties.
(e) Third Party Information. Neither party will be required to
-----------------------
disclose to the other any confidential information of any third party without
having first obtained such third party's prior written consent.
21
<PAGE>

vote any shares of such Retirement Plan Voting Stock that would cause Investor
to exceed the Standstill Percentage.
(b) As used in this Article 8, (i) the term "Voting Stock" means the
------------

to purchase such Purchased Shares shall expire, and the Investor or Majority
Owned Subsidiary shall be entitled to sell the Purchased Shares described in the
Investor Notice for a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration of
such 90-day period, but only to the proposed purchaser set forth in the Investor
Notice (or any Majority Owned Subsidiary thereof) and only for a purchase price
equal to at least eighty-five (85%) of the purchase price set forth in the
Investor Notice. In the event the Investor or Majority Owned Subsidiary has not
sold such Purchased Shares by the end of such 90-day period, the rights of the
Company set forth above in this Section 8.3 shall apply to any subsequent sales
by the Investor or Majority Owned Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall not apply to any sales or other
transfers by the Investor to any Majority Owned Subsidiary or pursuant to Rule
144. Investor further agrees that it will not sell the Purchased Shares
privately to a competitor of the Company.

9.3 Claims for Indemnification. If any Investor Indemnitee or Company
--------------------------
Indemnitee (an "Indemnitee") shall believe that such Indemnitee is entitled to
----------
indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 in respect of any Damages, such
Indemnitee shall give the appropriate Indemnifying Party (which for purposes
hereof, in the case of an Investor Indemnitee, means the Company, and in the
case of a Company Indemnitee, means the Investor) prompt written notice thereof.
Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail and to the extent then
known the basis for such claim for indemnification. The failure of such
Indemnitee to give notice of any claim for indemnification promptly shall not
adversely affect such Indemnitee's right to indemnity hereunder except to the
extent that such failure adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying Party
to assert any reasonable defense to such claim. Each such claim for indemnity
shall expressly state that the Indemnifying Party shall have only the twenty
(20) business day period referred to in the next sentence to dispute or deny
such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) business days
following its receipt of such notice either (a) to acquiesce in such claim by
giving such Indemnitee written notice of such acquiescence or (b) to object to
the claim by giving such Indemnitee written notice of the objection. If the
Indemnifying Party does not object thereto within such twenty (20) business day
period, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Damages
reasonably and proximately incurred by such Indemnitee in respect of such claim.
If the Indemnifying Party objects to such claim in a timely manner, the senior
management of the Company and the Investor shall meet to attempt to resolve such
dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved by the senior management either
party may make a written demand for formal dispute resolution and specify
therein the scope of the dispute. Within thirty (30) days after such written
notification, the parties agree to meet for one (1) day with an impartial
mediator and consider dispute resolution alternatives other than litigation. If
an alternative method of dispute resolution is not agreed upon within thirty
days after the one day mediation, either party may begin litigation proceedings.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to require arbitration.
9.4 Defense of Claims. In connection with any claim that may give rise to
-----------------
indemnity under this Section 9 resulting from or arising out of any claim or
Proceeding against an Indemnitee by a person or entity that is not a party
hereto, the Indemnifying Party may but shall not be obligated to (unless such
Indemnitee elects not to seek indemnity hereunder for such claim), upon written
notice to the relevant Indemnitee, assume the defense of any such claim or
Proceeding if the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or Proceeding
acknowledges to the Indemnitee the Indemnitee's right to indemnity pursuant
hereto to the extent provided herein (as such claim may have been modified
through written agreement of the parties or arbitration hereunder) and provides
assurances, satisfactory to such Indemnitee, that the Indemnifying Party will be
financially able to satisfy such claim to the extent provided herein if such
claim or Proceeding is decided adversely; provided, however, that nothing set
--------- -------
forth herein shall be deemed to require the Indemnifying Party to waive any
crossclaims or counterclaims the Indemnifying Party may have against the
Indemnified Party for damages. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
retain separate counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, if the
Indemnified Party shall determine, upon the written advice of counsel, that an
actual or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding. The Indemnifying
Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
separate counsel to the extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or
Proceeding under this
25
<PAGE>
Section 9.4. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or
Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to
such Indemnitee to conduct the defense of such claim or Proceeding, shall take
all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and shall at all times
diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof. If the Indemnifying
Party shall have assumed the defense of any claim or Proceeding in accordance
with this Section 9.4, the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to
a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or
Proceeding, with the prior written consent of such Indemnitee, not to be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay
--------- -------
or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment
concurrently with the effectiveness thereof; provided, further, that the
--------- -------
Indemnifying party shall not be authorized to encumber any of the assets of any
Indemnitee or to agree to any restriction that would apply to any Indemnitee or
to its conduct of business; and provided, further, that a condition to any such
--------- -------
settlement shall be a complete release of such Indemnitee and its Affiliates,
Associates, directors, officers, employees and agents with respect to such
claim, including any reasonably foreseeable collateral consequences thereof.
Such Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the
defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. Each
Indemnitee shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, Associates, directors,
officers, employees and agents to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party
in the defense of any claim or Proceeding being defended by the Indemnifying
Party pursuant to this Section 9.4. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume
the defense of any claim or Proceeding resulting therefrom in accordance with
the terms of this Section 9.4, such Indemnitee may defend against such claim or
Proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such
claim or Proceeding after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party,
on such terms as such Indemnitee may deem appropriate. If any Indemnifying
Party seeks to question the manner in which such Indemnitee defended such claim
or Proceeding or the amount of or nature of any such settlement, such
Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the
evidence that such Indemnitee did not defend such claim or Proceeding in a
reasonably prudent manner.
