                             USA BIOMASS CORPORATION

                     Pursuant to Section 151 of the General
                    Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

     The undersigned, Fred H. Behrens and Hilly G. Jones, hereby certify that:

     I.  They  are  the  duly  elected  and  acting   Chairman  and   Secretary,
respectively,   of  USA  Biomass   Corporation,   a  Delaware  corporation  (the
"Corporation").

     II. The  Certificate of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation  authorizes the
Corporation to issue  preferred  stock,  and the  Corporation has authorized the
issuance of three thousand  (3,000) shares of Series C 6% Convertible  Preferred
Stock, $0.01 par value per share.

     III. The following is a true and correct copy of  resolutions  duly adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation  (the "Board of Directors") on July
5, 2000  pursuant to the Articles of  Incorporation  of the  Corporation  and in
accordance  with the provisions of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of
Delaware.

RESOLUTIONS

     WHEREAS,  the Board of Directors is  authorized to provide for the issuance
of the shares of preferred  stock,  and by filing a certificate  pursuant to the
applicable law of the State of Delaware to establish and issue  preferred  stock
with  such  voting  powers,  full or  limited,  or no  voting  powers,  and such
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights, and with such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon as the
Board of Directors may determine.

     WHEREAS,  the Board of  Directors  desires,  pursuant to its  authority  as
aforesaid,  to  designate  a new series of  preferred  stock,  set the number of
shares constituting such series and fix the rights, preferences,  privileges and
restrictions of such series.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  BE IT  RESOLVED,  that  the  Board  of  Directors  hereby
designates a new series of preferred stock and the number of shares constituting
such  series and fixes the  rights,  preferences,  privileges  and  restrictions
relating to such series as follows:

     A.  Designation,  Amount and Par Value. The series of preferred stock shall
be  designated  as the Series C 6%  Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the "Series C
Preferred  Stock"),  and the  number  of  shares  so  designated  shall be three
thousand  (3,000)  (which  shall not be subject to increase or  decrease).  Each
share of Series C Preferred  Stock shall have a par value of $0.01 per share and
a  stated  value  (the  "Stated  Value")  of  the  Liquidation   Preference  (as
hereinafter defined in Section C(1)).

                                        1
<PAGE>

     B. Dividends.

     (1) Holders of the Series C  Preferred  Stock shall be entitled to receive,
out of funds legally  available  therefor,  dividends at a rate equal to 6% (the
"Dividend  Rate") of the Liquidation  Preference per share per annum (subject to
appropriate  adjustments  in the  event  of any  stock  dividend,  stock  split,
combination or other similar  recapitalization  affecting  such shares),  and no
more,  payable in accordance with the provisions of this Amended  Certificate of
Designations.

     (2) At the election of the Corporation, each dividend on Series C Preferred
Stock shall be paid either in shares of Common Stock of the Corporation,  $0.002
par value per share ("Common Stock") or in cash on the Delivery Date (as defined
in Subsection G(2)(a) of this Amended  Certificate of Designations) with respect
to any shares of Series C  Preferred  Stock which are the subject of a Notice of
Conversion  (as  defined  in  Subsection  G(2) of this  Amended  Certificate  of
Designations).  Dividends paid in shares of Common Stock shall be paid (based on
an assumed  value of $1,000 per share) in full shares only,  with a cash payment
equal to the value of any fractional shares. Each dividend paid in cash shall be
mailed to the holders of record of the Series C  Preferred  Stock as their names
and addresses  appear on the share register of the  Corporation or at the office
of the transfer agent on the  corresponding  dividend  payment date.  Holders of
Series C Preferred Stock will receive written  notification from the Corporation
or the transfer  agent if a dividend is paid in kind,  which  notification  will
specify  the  number  of  shares  of Common  Stock  paid as a  dividend  and the
recipient's  aggregate holdings of Common Stock as of that dividend payment date
and after giving effect to the  dividend.  All holders of shares of Common Stock
issued as dividends shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits relating
to  shares  of  Common  Stock as set  forth  in the  Corporation's  Articles  of
Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws.

     (3) Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to payment of
any dividends in preference  and priority to any payment of any cash dividend on
Common Stock or any other class or series of capital  stock of the  Corporation,
other than  holders of shares of the issued and  outstanding  Series A Preferred
Stock of the Company,  as of the date  hereof,  who shall be entitled to receive
such  dividends on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock.  Dividends  on the Series C Preferred  Stock shall accrue with respect to
each share of the Series C Preferred  Stock from the date on which such share is
issued and outstanding and thereafter  shall be deemed to accrue from day to day
whether or not earned or  declared  and  whether  or not there  exists  profits,
surplus or other funds legally available for the payment of dividends, and shall
be  cumulative so that if such  dividends on the Series C Preferred  Stock shall
not have been paid, or declared and set apart for payment,  the deficiency shall
be fully paid or declared and set apart for payment before any dividend shall be
paid or declared  or set apart for any Common  Stock or other class or series of
capital stock ranking  junior to the Series C Preferred  Stock (such stock being
collectively  referred to herein as the "Junior  Stock") and before any purchase
or  acquisition of any Junior Stock is made by the  Corporation.  At the earlier
of: (1) the redemption or conversion of the Series C Preferred  Stock or (2) the
liquidation of the  Corporation,  any accrued but undeclared  dividends shall be
paid to the holders of record of outstanding shares of

                                        2
<PAGE>

the Series C Preferred  Stock in accordance  with the provisions of this Amended
Certificate  of  Designations.  No  accumulation  of  dividends  on the Series C
Preferred Stock shall bear interest.

     C. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding up of the  Corporation,  the
holders of shares of the Series C  Preferred  Stock  then  outstanding  shall be
entitled  to be  paid  out  of  the  assets  of the  Corporation  available  for
distribution  to its  stockholders,  before  any  payment  shall  be made to the
holders of Junior Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to
one  thousand  dollars  ($1,000)  per share of  Series C  Preferred  Stock  (the
"Liquidation  Preference") plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not
declared).  If upon any  such  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding  up of the
Corporation the remaining  assets of the Corporation  available for distribution
to its  stockholders  shall be  insufficient to pay the holders of shares of the
Series C Preferred  Stock the full amount to which they shall be  entitled,  the
holders of shares of the Series C Preferred  Stock  shall  share  ratably in any
distribution of the remaining  assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion
to the  respective  amounts  which would  otherwise be payable in respect of the
shares held by them upon such  distribution  if all  amounts  payable on or with
respect to such shares were paid in full.

     D. Voting.  Except for the limited voting rights  specified in Section J of
this Amended  Certificate of Designations,  each holder of outstanding shares of
Series C  Preferred  Stock  shall  not be  entitled  to vote at any  meeting  of
stockholders  of the  Corporation  (and with  respect  to  written  consents  of
stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to any and all matters  presented
to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration,  until
and unless the shares of Series C Preferred  Stock held by such holder have been
converted into shares of Common Stock,  at which time each holder shall have the
voting rights appurtenant to each whole share of Common Stock so converted.

     E. Other Securities.  Subject to any limitations  contained in this Amended
Certificate of Designations,  the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and/or
the Primary Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as
of March 14, 2000,  hereinafter the "Securities Purchase Agreement"),  the Board
of Directors  of the  Corporation  reserves  the right to  establish  additional
classes and/or series of capital stock of the  Corporation  and to designate the
preferences,  limitations and relative rights of any such classes and/or series;
provided,  however,  that no such  class  and/or  series  may have  preferences,
limitations  and  relative  rights  which  are  superior  to or  senior  to  the
preferences,  limitations  and  relative  rights  granted to the  holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock.

     F. Capital  Reorganization.  If the Corporation shall at any time hereafter
subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock,  declare a dividend
payable  in  Common  Stock,  or  in  case  of  any  capital   reorganization  or
reclassification of the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, the number of
shares of the  Series C  Preferred  Stock and the  Stated  Value of the Series C
Preferred  Stock  shall be  adjusted  appropriately  to allow the holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock, as nearly as reasonably possible,  to maintain (i) the
aggregate  Stated Value of the Series C Preferred  Stock and (ii) their pro rata
interest in the Corporation and in the

                                        3
<PAGE>

Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred  Stock,  that each holder
had prior to any such subdivision,  combination, stock dividend,  reorganization
or reclassification.

     G. Conversion.

     (1) The  holders  of the Series C  Preferred  Stock  shall have  conversion
rights as follows (the "Series C Preferred Stock Conversion Rights"):

          (a) Each share of Series C Preferred  Stock shall be  convertible,  at
     the option of the holder  thereof,  at any time and from time to time, into
     such number of fully paid and  nonassessable  shares of Common  Stock as is
     determined  by dividing  $1,000,  plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid
     dividends the Corporation  elects to pay in Common Stock, by the Conversion
     Price  (as  defined  below)  in  effect  at the  time  of  conversion.  The
     Conversion  Price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon
     conversion  of Series C Preferred  Stock  without the payment of additional
     consideration by the holder thereof (the  "Conversion  Price") shall be the
     lower of (i) four and 65/100 dollars  ($4.65) or (ii) 85% of the average of
     the three  lowest  Closing Bid Prices of the shares of Common Stock for the
     fifteen  (15)  trading days  immediately  preceding  the Series C Preferred
     Stock  Conversion  Date (as  hereinafter  defined).  For  purposes of these
     Articles of Amendment, the term "Closing Bid Price" means, for any security
     as of any date, the closing bid price on the principal  securities exchange
     or trading market where the Common Stock is listed or traded as reported by
     Bloomberg,  L.P. ("Bloomberg") or, if applicable,  the closing bid price of
     the Common Stock in the over-the-counter  market on the electronic bulletin
     board for such  security as reported  by  Bloomberg,  or, if no closing bid
     price is reported  for the Common Stock by  Bloomberg,  then the average of
     the bid prices of any market  makers for such  security  as reported in the
     "pink  sheets" by the National  Quotation  Bureau,  Inc. If the Closing Bid
     Price of the Common Stock can not be  calculated on such date on any of the
     foregoing  bases,  the Closing  Bid Price of the Common  Stock on such date
     shall be the fair market value as  determined  by the holders of a majority
     of the  outstanding  shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted for
     which the  calculation  of the  Closing  Bid Price is  required in order to
     determine the Conversion Price of such shares. "Trading day" shall mean any
     day on which the Corporation's Common Stock is traded for any period on the
     principal  securities  exchange  or other  securities  market  on which the
     Common Stock is then being traded.  If, during any period  following  March
     14, 2000 (the "Original Issue Date"),  as a result of the occurrence of any
     of the events set forth in Section 3(f) or 3(g) of the Registration  Rights
     Agreement,  dated as of March 14, 2000, by and between the  Corporation and
     the Purchaser set forth therein (the "Registration Rights Agreement"),  the
     Purchasers  set forth  therein are not able to sell shares of Common  Stock
     issuable upon conversion of, or in lieu of dividends on, shares of Series C
     Preferred Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to such
     agreement, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the
     right,  for any purpose during such period and thereafter,  to designate as
     the Conversion  Price any Conversion  Price that would have been applicable
     during such period had such Series C Preferred Stock shareholder  delivered
     a Notice of Conversion with respect to any such Series C Preferred Stock.

                                        4
<PAGE>

          (b) In no event shall the number of shares of Common  Stock issued (A)
     upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and (B) in lieu of dividend
     payments  on the  Series  C  Preferred  Stock,  equal  20% or  more  of the
     Corporation's  outstanding  Common  Stock.  At such  time as the  Board  of
     Directors of the Corporation determines that it is necessary or appropriate
     to do so to  ensure  that the  number  of  shares  issued  to the  Series C
     Preferred  Stockholder resulting from conversion and dividend payments does
     not equal or exceed 20% of the  Corporation's  outstanding  Common Stock (a
     "Common Stock Redemption  Event"),  the Corporation  shall (x) redeem, at a
     price per share equal to (A) the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference
     per share of Series C Preferred Stock plus all accrued but unpaid dividends
     on such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and (ii) the Conversion Price as
     if the  Series  C  Preferred  Stock  had  been  converted  on the  Series C
     Preferred  Stock  Redemption Date multiplied by (B) the average Closing Bid
     Price of shares of Common Stock for the five (5) trading  days  immediately
     preceding  the  Series  C  Preferred  Stock  Redemption  Date,  all  of the
     outstanding  Series C Preferred  Stock or (y) call a special meeting of its
     stockholders for the purpose of approving the transactions  contemplated by
     the Securities Purchase  Agreement,  including the issuance of the Series C
     Preferred  Stock on the terms set forth  therein,  together  with any other
     approvals  that  shall  be  required  so  as  to  cause  the   transactions
     contemplated by the Securities  Purchase  Agreement to remain in compliance
     with the Rules and Regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market  (including Rules
     4300  and  4310  of  Nasdaq's   Non-Qualitative   Designation  Criteria  in
     connection with conversions of Series C Preferred Stock; such approvals are
     referred to herein as the "Required  Approvals");  provided,  however, that
     the Corporation  shall not redeem the outstanding  Series C Preferred Stock
     pursuant to clause (x) above, until such time as the Corporation has issued
     that number of shares of the  Corporation's  Common Stock equal to at least
     16% of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock to the Series C Preferred
     Stockholders . The  Corporation  shall  determine  within five (5) business
     days following the receipt of a Notice of Conversion  which of such actions
     it shall take, and shall promptly  furnish notice to each of the holders of
     Series  C  Preferred  Stock  as  to  such  determination,   including,   if
     applicable, a notice of redemption. In no event shall the Corporation issue
     shares of Common Stock upon conversion of, or in lieu of dividend  payments
     on, the Series C Preferred  Stock,  after the  occurrence of a Common Stock
     Redemption Event until the Required Approvals, if any, are obtained.

          (c)  If the  Corporation  elects  to  call a  special  meeting  of its
     stockholders  pursuant to Subsection G(1)(b) of this Amended Certificate of
     Designations to obtain the Required  Approvals,  the Corporation  shall use
     its best efforts to obtain such Required  Approvals within thirty (30) days
     of the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (such
     thirty (30) day period is referred to herein as an "Approval  Period").  If
     the Corporation does not obtain the Required  Approvals within the Approval
     Period  and the  Corporation  receives  a Notice  of  Conversion  after the
     termination  of the  Approval  Period,  the  Corporation  must  redeem,  in
     accordance  with  this   Subsection  G  of  this  Amended   Certificate  of
     Designations,  that number of shares of Series C Preferred  Stock necessary
     to  ensure  that the  number of shares  issued  to the  Series C  Preferred
     Stockholder resulting

                                        5
<PAGE>

     from  conversion and dividend  payments does not equal or exceed 20% of the
     Corporation's outstanding Common Stock.

          (d) If the  Corporation  elects,  pursuant  to this  Subsection  G, to
     redeem the Series C Preferred  Stock on the  occurrence  of a Common  Stock
     Redemption  Event,  it shall  redeem such  Series C Preferred  Stock at the
     price  determined in  accordance  with  Subsection  G(1)(b) of this Amended
     Certificate  of  Designations.  If  the  Corporation  shall  have  elected,
     pursuant to this  Subsection  G(1),  to obtain the Required  Approvals  but
     shall not have done so by the later of the  occurrence  of the Common Stock
     Redemption Event or the expiration of the Approval Period, it shall furnish
     a redemption  notice to the Purchaser  within three (3) business days after
     the expiration of the Approval Period.

     (2) The Series C Preferred  Stock  Conversion  Rights shall be exercised as
follows:

          (e) The  Corporation  will  permit  each  holder of Series C Preferred
     Stock to  exercise  its right to convert  the Series C  Preferred  Stock by
     faxing an executed  and  completed  notice of  conversion  (the  "Notice of
     Conversion") to the Corporation,  and delivering  within three (3) business
     days  thereafter,  the original Notice of Conversion (and the  certificates
     representing  the  related  shares  of  Series C  Preferred  Stock)  to the
     Corporation by hand delivery or by express  courier,  duly  endorsed.  Each
     date on which a Notice  of  Conversion  is  faxed  in  accordance  with the
     provisions  hereof shall be deemed a "Series C Preferred  Stock  Conversion
     Date." The  Corporation  will transmit the  certificates  representing  the
     Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of the Series C Preferred  Stock
     (together  with  certificates  representing  the related shares of Series C
     Preferred Stock not so converted and, if applicable,  a check  representing
     any fraction of a share not  converted) to such holder via express  courier
     as soon as  practicable,  but in all  events no later  than (the  "Delivery
     Date")  three  (3)  business  days  after  the  Series  C  Preferred  Stock
     Conversion Date. For purposes of this Amended  Certificate of Designations,
     such  conversion  of the Series C  Preferred  Stock shall be deemed to have
     been  made  immediately  prior to the  close of  business  on the  Series C
     Preferred Stock Conversion Date.

          (f) In lieu  of  delivering  physical  certificates  representing  the
     Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred  Stock,
     provided that the  Corporation's  transfer  agent is  participating  in the
     Depository Trust  Corporation  ("DTC") Fast Automated  Securities  Transfer
     program, on the written request of a holder of Series C Preferred Stock who
     shall have previously instructed such holder's prime broker to confirm such
     request to the Corporation's  transfer agent, the Corporation shall use its
     best efforts to cause its transfer  agent to  electronically  transmit such
     Common Stock to such holder by crediting the account of the holder's  prime
     broker with DTC through its Deposit  Withdrawal Agent Commission  system no
     later than the applicable Delivery Date.

          (g) The Corporation will at all times have authorized and reserved for
     the purpose of issuance a  sufficient  number of shares of Common  Stock to
     provide for the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. The Corporation
     will use its best  efforts  at all times to  maintain a number of shares of
     Common Stock so reserved for issuance that is no

                                        6
<PAGE>

     less than the sum of (i) one and one-half (1.5) times the number that would
     then actually be issuable upon the  conversion  of three  thousand  (3,000)
     shares of Series C Preferred  Stock and (ii) the  exercise of the  Warrants
     (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). Before taking any action
     which would cause an  adjustment  reducing the  Conversion  Price below the
     established  par  value  of  the  shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon
     conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation  shall take any
     corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel or in the opinion
     of counsel to holders of the Series C  Preferred  Stock,  be  necessary  in
     order that the  Corporation  may validly  and legally  issue fully paid and
     nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

     (3) In  the  event  of a  liquidation  of the  Corporation,  the  Series  C
Preferred  Stock  Conversion  Rights shall terminate at the close of business on
the first  full day  preceding  the date fixed for the  payment  of any  amounts
distributable on liquidation to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock.

     (4) If the  conversion  is in  connection  with an  underwritten  offer  of
securities  registered  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  the
conversion may, at the option of any holder  tendering  Series C Preferred Stock
for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale
of securities  pursuant to such offering,  in which event the person(s) entitled
to receive  the  Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  conversion  of the Series C
Preferred  Stock shall not be deemed to have  converted  such Series C Preferred
Stock until immediately prior to the closing of the sale of securities.

     (5) At no time  shall any holder of the Series C  Preferred  Stock  convert
such  amount of Series C  Preferred  Stock as shall  result in such  Purchaser's
ownership,   after  such  conversion,   exceeding  4.99%  of  the  Corporation's
outstanding Common Stock.

     (6) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of
the Preferred  Stock. In lieu of fractional  shares,  the Corporation  shall pay
cash equal to such  fraction  multiplied by the then  effective  and  applicable
Conversion Price.

     (7) The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation
or  through  any  reorganization,  transfer  of assets,  consolidation,  merger,
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 to be observed
or performed under this Amended  Certificate of Designations by the Corporation,
but will at all  times  in good  faith  assist  in the  carrying  out of all the
provisions of this Amended  Certificate of Designations and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or  appropriate in order to protect the Series C
Preferred Stock Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
against impairment.

     (8) In the event (a) that the Corporation declares a dividend (or any other
distribution) on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities of
the Corporation, (b) that the Corporation subdivides or combines its outstanding
shares of Common Stock, (c) of any  reclassification  of the Common Stock of the
Corporation  (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding  shares
of Common Stock or a stock dividend or stock distribution

                                        7
<PAGE>

thereon),  (d) of any  consolidation  or merger of the Corporation  into or with
another  corporation,  (e) of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of  the  Corporation,  or  (f)  of the  involuntary  or  voluntary  dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation,  then the Corporation  shall cause
to be filed at its  principal  office or at the office of the transfer  agent of
the Series C Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to each holder of the
Series C  Preferred  Stock at their last  address as shown on the records of the
Corporation or such transfer  agent,  at least ten (10) days prior to the record
date  specified  in (i) below or twenty (20) days before the date  specified  in
(ii) below, a notice stating

          (i) the record date of such  dividend,  distribution,  subdivision  or
     combination,  or, if a record is not to be taken,  the date as of which the
     holders  of  Common  Stock  of  record  to be  entitled  to such  dividend,
     distribution, subdivision or combination are to be determined, or

          (ii) the date on which such reclassification,  consolidation,  merger,
     sale,  dissolution,  liquidation  or  winding  up  is  expected  to  become
     effective,  and the date as of which it is expected  that holders of Common
     Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange  their shares of Common Stock
     for securities or other property  deliverable  upon such  reclassification,
     consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution or winding up.

     H.  Sinking  Fund.  There  shall  be no  sinking  fund for the  payment  of
dividends,  or liquidation  preferences  on the Series C Preferred  Stock or the
redemption of any shares thereof.

     I. Redemption  Events. In case one or more of the following events,  each a
redemption event, shall have occurred:

          (a)  failure to  deliver  the shares of Common  Stock  required  to be
     delivered upon  conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock in the
     manner and at the time  required  by Section 5 of the  Securities  Purchase
     Agreement; or

          (c) failure of the Corporation to have authorized the number of shares
     of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of the  shares  of  Series C
     Preferred  Stock or exercise of the Stock Purchase  Warrants (as defined in
     the Securities Purchase Agreement); or

          (d) failure on the part of the  Corporation to duly observe or perform
     any of the provisions of this Amended Certificate of Designations or any of
     its other  covenants or  agreements  contained in the  Securities  Purchase
     Agreement,  or to cure any material breach in a material  representation or
     covenant contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Registration

     written notice of such failure or breach  requiring the same to be remedied
     has been given by a registered holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
     to the Corporation;

          then,  and in each and every  such  case,  so long as such  redemption

     Corporation  redeem, and the Corporation shall redeem, each share of Series

                            TOMAX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                            INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

        This Investor Rights Agreement dated July 13, 2000 is among TOMAX
TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Utah corporation (the "COMPANY"), ORACLE CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (the "INVESTOR"), and ERIC OLAFSON, VIRGIL FERNANDEZ, KEITH
JEPSEN, and KEITH LOW (collectively, the "EXISTING HOLDERS"). Capitalized terms
used herein are defined as set forth in Section 8.

            The Company, the Investor and the Existing Holders are parties to a
Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 13, 2000 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") in
which the Investor agrees to purchase 421,585 shares (the "PREFERRED SHARES") of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "PREFERRED STOCK") from
the Company and 634,518 shares (the "COMMON SHARES") of Common Stock of the
Company (the "COMMON STOCK") from the Existing Holders and other shareholders of
the Company.

            The parties desire to enter into the agreements set forth herein
with respect to the Preferred Shares and the Common Shares.

            Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows:

1. Registration Rights

            1.1 REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION.

            (a) GENERAL. If the Company shall receive at any time after the
earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the First Closing (as defined in the
Stock Purchase Agreement) of the Investor's purchase of the Preferred Shares and
the Common Shares and (ii) 180 days after the effective date of the first
registration statement for a public offering of securities of the Company (other
than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to
employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar
plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), a written request from the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (on an as converted to
Common Stock basis) that the Company file a registration statement under the
Securities Act pursuant to this Section 1.1(a) covering the registration of at
least 25% of the Registrable Securities outstanding on the date hereof (or any
lesser percentage if the anticipated aggregate offering price to the public
exceeds $2,500,000), then the Company shall:

            (i) within 10 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of
such request to all Holders; and

            (ii) use its best efforts to effect, within 90 days of the receipt
of such request, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable
Securities that the Holders request to be registered within 20 days of the
mailing of such notice by the Company;

                                        2
<PAGE>   3

provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1.1(a) after
the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to this Section 1.1(a) and
such registrations have been declared or ordered effective.

            (b) FORM S-3. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or
Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on
Form S-3 under the Securities Act and any related qualification or compliance
with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder
or Holders pursuant to this Section 1.1(b), the Company will:

            (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and
any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

            (ii) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested which 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 1.1(b):

            (x) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;

            (y) 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) at an aggregate
price to the public of less than $2,000,000; or

            (z) if the Company has, within the 12-month period preceding the
date of such request, already effected one registration on Form S-3 for the
Holders pursuant to this Section 1.1(b).

Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall not be counted as
demands for registration effected pursuant to Section 1.1(a).

            (c) UNDERWRITING. If Holders initiating the registration request
under Section 1.1(a) or (b), (the "INITIATING HOLDERS") intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of such request and the Company shall
include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.1(a)(i)
or (b)(i), respectively. The underwriter will be selected by the Company and
shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by
a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent
provided in this

                                        3
<PAGE>   4

Section 1.1(c). All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section
1.3(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 1.1, if the underwriter advises the Initiating
Holders and the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant
hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included
in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the
Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of
Registrable Securities owned by each Holder; provided, however, that the number
of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be
reduced unless all securities which are not Registrable Securities are first
entirely excluded from the underwriting. The Company shall have no obligation
with respect to any registration requested pursuant to this Section 1.1 if, due
to the operation of this Section 1.1(c), the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the
registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company's obligation
to initiate such registration as specified in this Section 1.1.

            (d) DELAY RIGHT. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.1, if
the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement
pursuant to this Section 1.1 a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company, such filing could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on any plan or proposal by the Company with respect to
any material transaction that the Company is at that time actively pursuing and
it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement,
the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such
filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the
Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize the
right granted by this Section 1.1(d) more than once in any 12 month period.

            (e) LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.1, the
Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any registration
pursuant to this Section 1.1:

            (i) During the 180-day period commencing on the consummation of a
Qualifying IPO;

            (ii) If the Company delivers notice to the Holders within 30 days of
any registration request communicating its intent to file a registration
statement for a Qualifying IPO within 90 days; or

            (iii) As to any Holder requesting registration for a sale not
pursuant to an underwriting, if the Registrable Securities requested to be
registered by such holder can be sold in the following 3-month period without
registration in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and such sale
is not restricted by Section 1.10 or otherwise.

            1.2 COMPANY REGISTRATION.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

            (a) INCLUSION OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. If (but without any
obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this
purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the
Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in
connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other
than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in
a Company stock plan, a registration on any form that does not include
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities or a
registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the
Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such
registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within 20 days after
mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 1.1(b), cause to be registered under the Securities Act
all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be
registered.

            (b) UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS. In connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required
under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders' securities in such
underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon
between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons
entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the
underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success
of the offering by the Company. If the underwriters, in their sole discretion,
determine and advise in writing the Company and the Holders of the Registrable
Securities requesting participation in such registration that in their good
faith judgment the number of shares of Registrable Securities and the other
securities requested to be registered under this Section 1.3 exceeds the maximum
amount of Common Stock which can be marketed (giving first priority to Common
Stock to be issued by the Company in such underwriting, but giving priority to
the shares requested to be included in the offering pursuant to this Section 1.3
over all other shares proposed to be included therein), then the Company shall
be required to include in the offering only that number of shares of Common
Stock, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering and the
securities so included shall be apportioned pro rata among the participating
Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included
therein owned by each participating Holder or in such other proportions as shall
mutually be agreed to by such participating Holders. For purposes of such
apportionment, for any participating Holder that is a partnership or
corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders 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 shall be deemed to be a
single participating Holder, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such
participating Holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all Persons included in such participating Holder.

            1.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever required under this Section
1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

            (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best
efforts to cause such registration

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for a period of up to 90 days or until the
distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed;
provided, however, that (i) such 90-day period shall be extended for a period of
time equal to any period that the Holder refrains from selling any securities
included in such registration at the request of an underwriter or the Company
due to a need, in accordance with Section 1.3(f), to prepare and provide a
supplemented or amended prospectus; and (ii) in the case of any registration of
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a
continuous or delayed basis, such 90-day period shall be extended, if necessary,
to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable
Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the
Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and
provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the
obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a
post-effective amendment that (x) includes any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (y) reflects facts or events representing a
material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included
in (x) and (y) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement.

            (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.

            (c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order
to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

            (d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders;
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Securities Act.

            (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating
in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under
such an agreement.

            (f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. Such obligation to
continue for ninety (90) days.

            (g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to
this Section 1 to be listed on each securities exchange or market on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

            (h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration.

            1.4 EXPENSES. All expenses (other than underwriting discounts,
commissions and external counsel for the Holders) incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.1 or 1.2,
including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees,
printers' and accounting fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding
begun pursuant to Section 1.1(a) if the registration request is subsequently
withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities to be registered, in which case all participating holders shall bear
such expenses unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section
1.1(a); and provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the
Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or
prospects of the Company that was not known to the Holders at the time of their
request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following
disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders
shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights
pursuant to Section 1.1(a) without diminution.

            1.5 FURNISHING INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, including
without limitation the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended
method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the
registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.

            1.6 DELAY OF REGISTRATION. No Holder shall have any right to obtain
or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

            1.7 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

            (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities
Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 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

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "VIOLATION"): (i) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to
each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that this Section 1.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company be liable 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 any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

            (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter,
any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any
controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing
persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act or
other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration;
and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this
Section 1.7(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 1.7(b) 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; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity
under this Section 1.7(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received
by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.

            (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.7 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 1.7, 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

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be
represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one
separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing 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, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this
Section 1.7 to the extent (and only to the extent) of such prejudice, but the
omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve
it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under this Section 1.7.

            (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements 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 of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a 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.

            (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions
on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict
with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement
shall control.

            (f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
1.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

            1.8 REPORTS UNDER EXCHANGE ACT. With a view to making available to
the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and
any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to
sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to
a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

            (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after 60 days after the
effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the
offering of its securities to the general public so long as the Company remains
subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act;

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

            (b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its
Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the
Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such
action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in
which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of
its securities to the general public is declared effective;

            (c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and

            (d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at
any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any
time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it
qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3
(at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by
the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

            1.9 LIMITATIONS ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS. From and after
the date of this 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 that would allow such holder or prospective holder to (a) include
such securities in any registration statement filed by the Company unless such
registration rights are subordinate to, or (in the case of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of Preferred Stock issued for cash ("PREFERRED INVESTOR
CONVERSION SHARES")) pro rata with (based on the relative number of shares
owned), the registration rights granted to the Holders pursuant to this
Agreement or (b) demand registration of other securities other than demand
registration rights of Preferred Investor Conversion Shares provided both (i)
the Holders are entitled to participate in any such demand registration on a pro
rata basis (based on the relative number of shares owned) and (ii) that neither
the granting nor exercise of such demand rights adversely affect number or
manner of the exercise of the Holders' rights under Section 1, which shall
continue in effect as an independent right of the Holders.

            1.10 "MARKET STAND-OFF" AGREEMENT. The Investor hereby agrees that,
during the period specified by the Company and an underwriter of common stock or
other securities of the Company, following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, it shall not, to the
extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly
sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short
sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other
than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company
held by it at any time during such period except Common Stock included in such
registration; provided, however, that:

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

            (a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the Company's initial
public offering of Equity Securities and shall not apply to the sale of any
Equity Securities to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement.

            (b) all officers and directors of the Company and all other persons
with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement) enter into
similar agreements; and

            (c) such market stand-off time period shall not exceed 180 days.

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Investor (and the
shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction)
until the end of such period and each Holder agrees that, if so requested, such
Holder will execute an agreement in the form provided by the underwriter
containing terms which are essentially consistent with the provisions of this
Section 1.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this
Section 1.10 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee
benefit plans on Form S-l or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated
in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145
transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

            1.11 ASSIGNMENT. The rights to cause the Company to register
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned by a Holder to
a Transferee of such securities who, after such assignment, holds at least 25%
of the Registrable Securities then outstanding or is a majority-owned subsidiary
of such Holder or any majority owner of such Holder, provided: (a) the Company
is, within a reasonable time prior to such Transfer, furnished with written
notice of the name and address of such Transferee and the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and (b) such
Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Section 1, including without limitation the provisions of Section 1.10. For the
purposes of determining the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a
Transferee, the holdings of transferees of a partnership who are partners or
retired partners of such partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal
descendants and siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable
Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together
and with the partnership; provided that all assignees who would not qualify
individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a single
attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or
taking any action under this Section 1.

            1.12 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. This Section 1 (and Section 7 or 8,
insofar as it applies to this Section 1) may be amended, and the observance
thereof waived in any respect, with (and only with) the prior written consent of
the Company and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding.

            1.13 TERMINATION. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right
provided for in this Section 1 after 3 years following upon the earliest of: (i)
the consummation of a Qualifying IPO; and (ii) the Company becoming subject to
the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act.

splits, stock dividends and the like occurring after the date hereof), the
Company shall permit the Investor, at the Investor's expense, to visit and
inspect the Company's properties, to examine its books of account and records
and to discuss the Company's affairs, finances and accounts with its officers,
all at such reasonable times as may be requested by the Investor; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.2 to
provide access to any information that it reasonably considers to be a trade
secret or similar confidential information.

            2.3 ASSIGNMENT. The rights the Investor under this Section 1 may be
assigned and reassigned to a transferee of Common Equivalent Shares who holds,
after such assignment, at least 528,000 Common Equivalent Shares (as adjusted

after the date hereof) or is a majority-owned subsidiary of such assignor or any
majority owner of such assignor, provided the Company is, within a reasonable
time prior to such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and
address of such transferee or assignee. For the purposes of determining the
number of Common Equivalent Shares held by a transferee, the holdings of
transferees of a partnership who are partners or retired partners of such
partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of
such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or
intestate

                                       12

succession) shall be aggregated together and with the partnership; provided that
all assignees who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights under

exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action under this Section
2.

            2.4 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. This Section 2 (and Section 7 or 8,
insofar as it applies to this Section 2) may be amended, and the observance
thereof waived in any respect, with (and only with) the prior written consent of
the Company and the holder of at least 528,000 Common Equivalent Shares (as
adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and the like
occurring after the date hereof).

            2.5 TERMINATION. The rights set forth in this Section 2 shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect after the first to occur of (i)
the consummation of a Qualifying IPO or (ii) the Company first becomes subject

OFFER NOTICE") to Investor, or each of its assignees that hold at least 200,000
Common Equivalent Shares (a "PARTICIPATING HOLDER") stating (i) its bona fide
intention to issue Equity Securities, (ii) the number of Equity Securities to be
issued, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to issue

Securities.

            3.3 CONSUMMATION The Company may, during the 90-day period following
the expiration of the period provided in Section 3.2, offer the remaining
unsubscribed portion of such Equity Securities to any Person or Persons at a
price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those
specified in the First Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an
agreement for the sale of the Equity Securities within such period, or if such
agreement is not consummated within 60 days of the Company's entry into any such
agreement, the right provided in this Section 3 shall be revived and such Equity
Securities shall not be issued unless first reoffered in accordance with this
Section 3.

            3.4 EXCLUDED TRANSACTIONS. The right of first offer in this Section
3 shall not apply to (i) the issuance of up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock or
options therefor (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock
dividends and the like occurring after the date hereof, and including in such

<PAGE>   14

exchangeable Equity Securities whose issuance was subject to this Section 3, or
pursuant to conversion of the Preferred Shares or (iv) the issuance of Equity
Securities in connection with bona fide equipment leasing or debt financing
transactions.

            3.5 LIMITATION TO EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS. Notwithstanding any provision
above to the contrary, the right of first offer pursuant to this Section 3 is
only granted to such Persons who may exercise such right in a transaction exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

            3.6 ASSIGNMENT. Any direct or indirect transferee of Common
Equivalent Shares shall automatically, without further action, succeed to the
rights of the Investor or other transferor under this Section 3 with respect to
the transferred Common Equivalent Shares, subject to the limitation that such
rights can be exercised only if such transferee meets the definition of a
Participating Holder, and subject to the other limitations stated in this
Section 3. For purposes of determining a holder's status as a Participating
Holder, its holdings shall be aggregated with the holdings of its partners and
affiliates, and the exercise of rights under this Section 3 may be apportioned
among itself and its partners and affiliates in such proportions as it deems
appropriate. The rights under this Section 3 are not otherwise assignable.

            3.7 AMENDMENT, WAIVER. This Section 3 can be amended, and its
observance waived in any respect, with and only with the prior written consent
of the Company and holders of a majority of the Common Equivalent Shares then

HOLDER") proposes to Sell to any Person other than the Company any of his Equity
Securities (the "OFFERED SHARES"), the Selling Holder shall give written notice

(the "CO-SALE NOTICE"). The Co-Sale Notice shall describe in detail the proposed
Sale, including the number of Equity Securities proposed to be Sold, the Sale
price or consideration to be paid or received and the name and address of the

of Common Stock, not exceeding the

                                       14

desires to sell (the "ELECTED NUMBER").

            4.3 SALE TO SELLING HOLDER. If the Transferee is unwilling to

immediately available funds an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of
shares Common Stock to be sold by the Participating Holder, multiplied by (b)
the price per share identified in the Co-Sale Notice.

            4.5 CONSUMMATION OF SALE. The Selling Holder may, within 30 days
after delivery of the Co-Sale Notice, conclude the Sale of any or all of his
Equity Securities covered by the Co-Sale Notice on terms and conditions not
materially more favorable to the transferor than those described in the Co-Sale
Notice. Any proposed Sale on terms and conditions more favorable to the

30-day period, shall again be subject to this Section 4.

            4.6 OTHER TRANSFERS. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not
apply to a Transfer other than a Sale, but it shall be a condition of any such
Transfer that (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time prior to such
transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such
transferee and the securities being so Transferred; and (b) such Transferee
agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 4.

Securities other than a buyer in a Sale. All certificates representing Equity
Securities subject to the restrictions of this Section 4 shall bear an
appropriate legend with respect to such restrictions.

            4.8 ASSIGNMENT. Any direct or indirect transferee of Common
Equivalent Shares shall automatically, without further action, succeed to the
rights of the Investor or other transferor under this Section 4 with respect to
the transferred Common Equivalent Shares, subject to the limitation that such
rights can be exercised only if such transferee meets the definition of a
Participating Holder, and subject to the other limitations stated in this
Section 4. For purposes of determining a holder's status as a Participating
Holder, its holdings shall be aggregated with the holdings of its partners and
affiliates, and the exercise of rights under this Section 4 may be

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

apportioned among itself and its partners and affiliates in such proportions as
it deems appropriate. The rights under this Section 4 are not otherwise

held by all Persons who then meet the definition of a Participating Holder.

            4.10 TERMINATION. The rights set forth in this Section 4 shall

Existing Holders agree to vote or act with respect to all capital stock of the
Company now or hereafter held by either of them entitled to vote in the election
