Article IV. Deferral Elections and Contributions    
  

        4.01    Participant Deferrals.    An Eligible Executive may elect to defer portions of his or her Base Salary or
Bonus, subject to the requirement that a Deferral Election must be submitted to and accepted by the Committee before any Deferrals become effective. Such Deferral Election shall be in writing on forms
to be prescribed and furnished by the Committee or its delegate. An election to defer Base Salary or Bonus shall apply only to the Employee's Base Salary or Bonus, as the case may be, for the
particular calendar year specified in the Deferral Election. A Participant may defer from 10% to 100% (in 5% increments) of Base Salary and/or Bonus. 

        (a)  Base
Salary Deferral Election. A Deferral Election with respect to Base Salary for a particular calendar must be submitted on or before December 31 preceding the
commencement of such calendar year (or, in the case of a new or newly-Eligible Executive, no later than thirty (30) days after the Eligible Executive becomes eligible to participate in the Plan
or, in the case of the first Plan Year, within thirty (30) days of the Plan's Effective Date) and, once made, cannot be changed or revoked. In the case of the first Plan Year or a new or
newly-Eligible Executive, the Deferral Election will apply only to amounts that are both paid after the Deferral Election is submitted and earned for services performed after the Deferral Election is
made. Base Salary deferred shall be credited to the Participant's Account as of the date coinciding with the close of the applicable payroll period of the calendar year to which it pertains. 

        (b)  Bonus
Deferral Election. A Deferral Election with respect to Bonus for a given calendar year must be submitted on or before the date established by the Committee for
such purposes, provided, however, that the Deferral Election may only to apply to Bonus that is both paid after the Deferral Election is submitted and earned for services performed after the Deferral
Election is made. Once made, such Deferral Election may be neither changed nor revoked. Bonus deferred pursuant to a Bonus Deferral Election shall be credited to a Participant's Account as of the date
on which the Bonus would otherwise have been paid. 

        (c)  Failure
to Submit Deferral Election. If a Participant fails to submit a Deferral Election on or before the date required for submission, the Participant shall be deemed
to have elected not to make a Deferral Election for such Plan Year. 

        4.02    Deferral Period.    A Participant who makes a Deferral Election with respect to Base Salary or Bonus shall,
at the time of the election, elect to defer the payment of any Base Salary or Bonus, respectively, and any earnings credited thereon, until (a) Retirement, or (b) either of the two
available in-service Fixed Dates. If no election is made as to the Deferral Period, the Deferral Election with respect to the Deferral Period shall be deemed to be Retirement. Except as
provided in Section 7.02, such election shall not be changed or revoked. 

        4.03    Form of Payment.    A Participant who makes a Deferral Election with respect to Base Salary or Bonus shall,
at the time of the election, elect the Form of Payment as either (a) a lump sum, (b) annual installments over five (5) years, (c) annual installments over ten
(10) years, or (d) annual installments over fifteen (15) years. If no election is made as to the Form of Payment, the Deferral Election with respect to the Form of Payment shall
be deemed to be lump sum. Except as provided in Section 7.01, such election shall not be changed or revoked. 

        4.04    Earnings.    A Participant's Account shall be credited (or charged, as the case may be) with earnings and
losses based on the returns of Investment Return Options directed by the Participant, in accordance with the Investment Return Options selected by and procedures established by the Committee. The
Committee specifically retains the right in its sole discretion to change the Investment Return Options and procedures from time to time. Investment Return Option directions shall be submitted with
the Deferral Election and may be changed by the Participant pursuant to Section 7.03. If no Investment Return Option directions are submitted with the Deferral Election, all amounts will 

7

 

be deemed to have been allocated to the money market or equivalent option within the Investment Return Options selected by the Committee. 

        4.05    Matching Contributions.    The Company may, from time to time, credit Participant Accounts with Matching
Contributions equal to a percentage of the Participant's Deferrals. The percentage of the Matching Contribution, if any, shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion and may vary from
Participant to Participant. The percentage and/or amount may vary from payroll period to payroll period and may be applied to Bonus Deferrals or Base Salary Deferrals. Matching
Contributions will be deemed to have the same elected Deferral Period, Form of Payment and Investment Return Option allocations as the Base Salary Deferral Election or Bonus Deferral Election on which
the amount of the Matching Contribution is determined. Such elections may, however, be changed in accordance with the requirements of Article VII. 

        4.06    Incentive Contributions.    The Company may, from time to time, credit a Participant's Account with Incentive
Contributions in accordance with terms specified in an Incentive Contribution Agreement. The amount of the periodic Incentive Contribution, if any, shall be determined by the Committee at its sole
discretion and may vary from Participant to Participant and Plan Year to Plan Year. Vesting requirements, Deferral Period, Form of Payment and Investment Return Option allocations will be stipulated
in the Incentive Contribution Agreement. The Deferral Period for Incentive Contributions may not be changed under any circumstances, the provisions of Section 7.02 notwithstanding. A
Participant may change the Form of Payment and Investment Return Option allocations applicable to Incentive Contributions pursuant to Sections 7.01 and 7.03, respectively. 

8

 
 
 

Article V. Vesting    
  

        5.01    Vesting.    The following vesting provisions notwithstanding, at no time shall a Participant be deemed to
have a secured interest in his or her Account, and at all times shall be an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to his or her Account. Any amounts credited to a Participant's Account that
are not vested as of the Participant's Retirement or Termination of Employment from the Company shall be forfeited. 

        (a)  Vesting of Participant Deferrals. A Participant shall be considered to be 100% vested with regard to the portion of his
or her Account attributable to Base Salary and Bonus Deferrals and any earnings credited thereon. 

        (b)  Vesting of Matching Contributions. The Participant's right to receive Matching Contributions and any earnings credited to
the Participant's Account with respect to Matching Contributions shall be based on a vesting schedule established by the Committee. When and if such a schedule is established, it shall be attached to
this Plan Document as Appendix A. 

        (c)  Vesting of Incentive Contributions. The Participant's right to receive Incentive Contributions and any earnings credited
to the Participant's Account with respect to Incentive Contributions in the event of
Termination of Employment or Retirement shall be based on a vesting schedule specified in the Incentive Contribution Agreement. 

9

 
 
 

Article VI. Accounts    
  

        6.01    Establishment of Accounts.    A separate bookkeeping Account shall be maintained for each Participant.
Pursuant to Article IV, such Account shall be credited with the Base Salary Deferrals and Bonus Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Incentive Contributions and credited (or charged, as the
case may be) with earnings based on the performance of the hypothetical investment results determined. 

        6.02    Subaccounts.    Within each Participant's Account, separate subaccounts shall be maintained to the extent
necessary for the administration of the Plan. For example, separate subaccounts may be established for Matching Contributions and Incentive Contributions, as well as situations where the Participant
has elected separate Deferral Periods and/or Forms of Payment with respect to Base Salary or Bonus Deferrals. 

        6.03    Hypothetical Nature of Accounts.    The Account established under Section 6.01 shall be hypothetical
in nature and shall be maintained for bookkeeping purposes only so that earnings and losses on Base Salary Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Matching Contributions and Incentive Contributions made to the
Plan can be credited (or charged, as the case may be). Neither the Plan nor any of the Accounts (or subaccounts) established hereunder shall hold any actual funds or assets. The right of any person to
receive one or more payments under the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company. Any liability of the Company to any Participant, former Participant, or Beneficiary
with respect to a right to payment shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by the Plan. Neither the Company nor any person shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid
under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the
Company and a Participant or any other Person. 

10

 
 
 

Article VII. Modifications to or Revocations of Deferral Elections    
  

        7.01    Change of Form Elections.    Any Participant may make an additional election to change the form of
distribution of the balance in any or all subaccounts to any of the available Forms of Payment not then elected, with the restriction that (a) no more than three such Change in Form Elections
may be submitted for any single subaccount, and (b) only one such Change of Form Election may be made with respect to any single subaccount during any three (3) calendar years; provided,
however, that no such Change of Form Election will be effective unless made six months or more before the date to which the applicable amounts are to be deferred. 

        7.02    Additional Deferral Elections.    A Participant may further postpone the initial starting date for
distributions of the balance in his or her Account with respect to Salary Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals, Matching Contributions and earnings thereon. Separate Additional Deferral Elections may be made
with respect to any or all subaccounts. The Additional Deferral Election may postpone the initial starting date for distributions until a future Fixed Date or Retirement; provided, however, that only
one such Additional Deferral Election may be made with respect to any single subaccount and further provided, however, that such Additional Deferral Elections shall only apply to balances in the
Participant's Account that are scheduled to be paid six months or after the date of such election and further provided, however, that, if an Additional Deferral Election is made to change the initial
starting date from a Fixed Date to Retirement, in no event shall payments begin earlier than three (3) years after such Additional Deferral Election. 

        7.03    Investment Return Option Reallocations.    A Participant may change the allocation of his or her Account
among the available Investment Return Options. Separate reallocations may be made with respect to any or all subaccounts; provided, however, that no more than six (6) reallocations may be
submitted for each subaccount in any calendar year. The reallocation will be effective according to procedures established by the Committee, but in general no changes will be effective before the
close of the same business day on which the changes are submitted. 

        7.04    Revocation and Cessation of Deferrals.    A Participant may not elect to change the amount of his or her Base
Salary or Bonus Deferrals during a Plan Year. A Participant's Base Salary Deferrals or Bonus Deferrals will be discontinued, however, in the event that the Participant becomes Disabled, as defined
herein. Further, a Participant's Base Salary or Bonus Deferrals may be ceased by showing of a financial hardship in accordance with Section 8.06. However, in the event that such a revocation is
granted by the Committee, the Participant shall be ineligible to make further Deferral Elections for one year from the date of the Committee action approving the cessation of Deferrals. Under no
circumstances may a Participant's Deferral Election be changed or revoked retroactively.

Article VIII. Distributions    
  

        8.01    Distributions.    Distributions of a Participant's Account will commence and will be payable according to the
terms of the Deferral Election or Incentive Contribution Agreement and any subsequent Additional Deferral Elections or Change of Form Elections in accordance with the following: 

        (a)  Distribution
Upon a Fixed Date or Retirement. 

        (i)    Fixed
Date. Upon the occurrence of a Fixed Date, that portion of the Participant's Account that is both vested and elected pursuant to a Deferral Election or Additional
Deferral Election to be paid out on such Fixed Date shall be paid to the Participant in accordance with the Form of Payment elected in the Deferral Election or subsequent Change of Form Elections. 

        (ii)  Retirement.
Upon the Participant's Retirement, that portion of the Participant's Account that is vested, including amounts elected to be paid on a Fixed Date if such
Fixed Date postdates the date of Retirement, shall be paid to the Participant in accordance with the Form of Payment elected in the Deferral Election or subsequent Change of Form Elections, such
payments commencing on the earlier of 1) January 1 following the effective date of Retirement, or 2) July 1 following the effective date of Retirement. 

        (iii)  Installments.
If distributions are paid in any of the three annual installment options available under the Plan, annual installments in future years will be paid on
the same date in future years as that date within in the year on which initial distributions are paid. 

        (b)  Distribution
Upon Termination of Employment. The Participant's Deferral Elections or any subsequent changes in Election notwithstanding, upon the Participant's
Termination of Employment, that portion of the Participant's Account balance that is vested will be distributed in a lump sum on the earlier of i) January 1 following the effective date
of Termination, or ii) July 1 following the effective date of Termination. 

        (c)  Distribution
Upon Death or Disability. Upon the death of the Participant, all unvested balances will immediately vest and the entire Account shall be paid as soon as
administratively feasible to the Participant's designated Beneficiary in a lump sum. Upon the Disability of a Participant, distributions will be made as elected unless an election is made under
Section 8.06 to receive payment as a consequence of an unforeseeable emergency. 

        8.02    Valuation and Adjustments for Earnings Upon Distribution.    Upon a distribution pursuant to
Section 8.01, the balance of a Participant's Account will be determined as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date of the distribution to be made and shall be adjusted for earnings
until such time that the balance has been fully distributed. 

        8.03    Minimum Distributions.    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if a Participant's Account is less
than $10,000, the Account will be distributed in a lump sum. 

        8.04    Designation of Beneficiary.    Each Participant shall have the right to designate the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries to receive payment of his or her Accounts in the event of death. A Beneficiary designation shall be made by executing and submitting a beneficiary designation form prescribed by the
Committee. Any such designation may be changed at any time by execution of a new designation in accordance with this Section 8.04; provided, however, that only the most recently submitted
beneficiary designation form will be considered valid. If no such designation is on file with the Committee at the time of the death of the Participant or such designation is not effective for any
reason as determined by the Committee, then the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive such benefit shall be the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, or if none, the Participant's
executor or administrator, or his heirs at law if there is no such administration of such Participant's estate. 

12

 

        8.05    Unclaimed Benefits.    In the case of a benefit payable on behalf of a Participant for which the Committee is
unable to locate the Participant or beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable, such benefit may be forfeited upon the Committee's determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if subsequent to any
such forfeiture the Participant or beneficiary to whom such benefit is payable presents a valid claim, such forfeited benefit shall be paid restored to the Plan by the Company. 

        8.06    Financial Hardship.    In the case of an unforeseeable emergency, a Participant may apply in writing to the
Committee for a hardship cessation of Deferrals or withdrawal of all or any part of a Participant's vested Account. For the purposes of this Section 8.06, an "unforeseen emergency" shall be
limited to a severe financial hardship resulting from a sudden and expected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent (as defined by section 152(a) of the Code) of the
Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of event beyond the control of the Participant. The
circumstances that will constitute an unforeseeable emergency will depend on the facts of each case, but in any case payment may not be made and a cessation of Deferral may not be granted to the
extent that such hardship is or may be relieved (a) through reimbursement or compensation by available insurance or otherwise, or (b) by liquidation of the participant's assets, to the
extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. Moreover, payment of a deferred amount may not be made ahead of the date to which the amount was deferred to the
extent that such hardship is or may be relieved by cessation of Deferrals under the Plan. 

        The
request for a withdrawal or cessation of Deferrals shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion. The amount that may be withdrawn shall be limited to the
amount reasonably necessary to relieve the hardship or financial emergency upon which the request is based, as determined by the Committee. In the event there is a payment or cessation of Deferrals
pursuant to this Section 8.06, the participant shall be ineligible to make further Deferral Elections for one year from the date of the Committee action approving the payment. 

        In
the event a Participant requests payment from his Account earlier than the date to which it was deferred, and it is determined by the Committee that there is no unforeseeable
emergency as defined in this Section 8.06, the Participant may nonetheless receive the payment, reduced by a penalty equal to ten (10) percent of the amount requested, which penalty
shall be irrevocably forfeited. 

        8.07    Taxes and Withholding.    The Company shall deduct from all payments under the Plan federal, state and local
income and employment taxes, as required by applicable law. Amounts deferred will be taken into account for purposes of any tax or withholding obligation under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act
and Federal Unemployment Tax Act at the later of the year the services are performed or the year in which the rights to the amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, as
required by sections 3121(v) and 3306(r) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Amounts required to be withheld pursuant to sections 3121(v) and 3306(r) shall be withheld out of
current wages paid by the Company.

Article X. Claims Procedures    
  

        10.01    Claim Procedure.    A person who believes that he or she is being denied a benefit to which he or she is
entitled under the Plan (hereinafter referred to as a "Claimant") may file a written request for such benefit with the Company, setting forth his or her claim. The request must be addressed to
the President of the Company at its then principal place of business. 

        10.02    Claim Decision.    Upon receipt of a claim, the Company shall advise the Claimant that a reply will be
forthcoming within 90 days and the Committee shall, in fact, deliver such reply within such period. The Committee may, however, extend the reply period for an additional 90 days for
reasonable cause. If
the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall adopt a written opinion, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth: 

        (a)  The
specific reason or reasons for such denial; 

        (b)  Specific
reference to pertinent provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based; 

        (c)  A
description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information
is necessary; 

        (d)  Appropriate
information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; and 

        (e)  The
time limits for requesting a review under Section 10.03 and for review under Section 10.04 hereof. 

        10.03    Request for Review.    Within 60 days after receipt by the Claimant of the written opinion described
above, the Claimant may request in writing that the Company review the Committee's determination. Such request must be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its then principal place of
business. The Claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing for consideration by the Company. If the
Claimant does not request a review of the determination within such 60 day period, he or she shall be barred and stopped from challenging the determination. 

        10.04    Review of Decision.    Within 60 days after the Company's receipt of a request for review, it will
review the Committee's determination. After considering all materials presented by the Claimant, the Company will render a written opinion, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
Claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based. If special circumstances
require that the 60 day time period be extended, the Company will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the
request for review.

Article XI. General Provisions    
  

        11.01    Prohibition Against Funding.    The Company shall make no provision for the funding of any Accounts payable
hereunder that (a) would cause the Plan to be funded plan for purposes of section 404(a)(5) of the Code or for purposes of Title I of ERISA, or (b) would cause the Plan to be
other than an "unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money or other property in the future" under Treasury Regulations § 1.83-3(e); and, except in the case of a Change of
Control of the Company, the Company shall have no obligation to make any arrangement for the accumulation of funds to pay any amounts under the Plan. Subject to the restrictions of this
Section 11.01, the Company may, in its sole discretion, establish one or more grantor trusts described in Treasury Regulations § 1.677(a)-1(d) to accumulate funds to pay
amounts under the Plan, provided that the assets of such trust(s) shall be required to be used to satisfy the claims of the Company's general creditors in the event of the Company's bankruptcy or
insolvency. In the case of a Change of Control of the Company, the Company shall, subject to the restrictions in this Section 11.01, irrevocably set aside funds in one or more such grantor
trusts in an amount that is sufficient to pay each Participant (or Beneficiary) the net present value as of the date on which the Change of Control occurred, of the benefits to which Participants (or
their Beneficiaries) who have Accounts under the Plan would be entitled pursuant to the terms of the Plan. 

        In
the event that the Company shall decide to establish an advance accrual reserve on its books against the future expense of payments from any Account, such reserve shall not under any
circumstances be deemed to be an asset of the Plan but, at all times, shall remain a part of the general assets of the Company, subject to the claims of the Company's creditors. 

        A
person entitled to any amount under the Plan shall be a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to such amount. Furthermore, a person entitled to a payment with respect
to an Account shall be a claim upon the Company only to the extent of the balance in his or her Account. 

        11.02    Nonassignability.    Participants, their legal representatives and their beneficiaries shall have no right
to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber their interests in the Plan, nor shall such interests be subject to attachment, garnishment, levy or execution by or on behalf of
creditors of the participants or of their beneficiaries. 

        11.03    Employment Not Guaranteed.    Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be
construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant any right to continued employment with the Company. 

        11.04    Amendment and Termination.    Notwithstanding the Committee's right, under Section 9.01 herein, to
amend, modify or terminate the Plan, under no circumstances shall any such changes reduce, without the consent of the Participant, a Participant's right to any vested amounts in his or her Account, or
lengthen the time period before payout is to commence, or lengthen the time period of the payout. In the event the Plan is terminated, payment of the Participant's Account may be made in a single sum
payment, and any such decision to pay in a single sum shall apply to all Participants and Beneficiaries. 

        11.05    Successors of the Company.    The rights and obligations of the Company under the Plan shall inure to the
benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Company. 

        11.06    Gender, Singular and Plural.    All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the
masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular. 

        11.07    Captions.    The captions of the articles and paragraphs of the Plan are for convenience only and shall not
control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions. 

16

 

        11.08    Validity.    In the event any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable, the same shall
not affect, in any respect whatsoever, the validity of any other provisions of the Plan. 

        11.09    Waiver of Breach. The waiver by the Company of any breach of any provision of the Plan by the Participant shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant. 

        11.10    Applicable Law.    The Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Texas except where such laws are preempted by ERISA. 

        11.11    Notice.    Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Company under the Plan shall be
sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the principal office of the Company, directed to the attention of the
Committee. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. 

        11.12    Arbitration.    Any claim, dispute or other matter in question of any kind relating to this Plan shall be
settled by Arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Notice of demand for arbitration shall be made in writing to the opposing party and to the American
Arbitration Association within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when the applicable
statue of limitations would bar the institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and may be
enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay all of the Participant's reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the arbitration unless the arbitration award or a judgment by a
court finds that (a) the Company did not breach any provision of this Plan in connection with the claim, dispute or other matter in question that was the subject of the arbitration, and
(b) the Participant acted in bad faith in bringing the arbitration, or, if the arbitration was brought by the Company, the Participant acted in bad faith in breaching the Plan.

RIGHTS AGREEMENT    
  

        This Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2002, between Vicinity Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York company, as Rights Agent (the "Rights
Agent"). 

        The
Board of Directors of the Company has authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each
Common Share (as hereinafter defined) of the Company outstanding at the Close of Business (as hereinafter defined) on August 9, 2002 (the "Record
Date"), each Right representing the right to purchase one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (as hereinafter defined), upon the terms and subject to the conditions
herein set forth, and has further authorized and directed the issuance of one Right with respect to each Common Share that shall become outstanding (i) between the Record Date and the earliest
of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Final Expiration Date (as such terms are hereinafter defined) or (ii) following the Distribution Date and prior to the Redemption Date or
Final Expiration Date, pursuant to the exercise of stock options or under any employee plan or arrangement or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities of the Company, which
options or securities were outstanding prior to the Distribution Date. 

        Accordingly,
in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

        Section 1.    Certain Definitions.    For purposes of this Agreement, the following
terms have
the meanings indicated: 

        (a)  "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall
be the Beneficial Owner of 15% (the "Designated Percentage") or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, but shall not include
(i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or (iv) any entity holding Common
Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

        (i)    No
Person shall become an Acquiring Person if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person has
become such inadvertently, and such Person as promptly as practicable takes such actions as may be necessary so that such Person would no longer be considered an Acquiring Person. 

        (ii)  No
Person shall become an Acquiring Person as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company that, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases
the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person and such Person's Affiliates and Associates to the Designated Percentage or more of the Common Shares of the Company then
outstanding (or, if applicable, such larger amount as provided in Section 1(a)(iii)); provided, however, that if a Person, together with such
Person's Affiliates and Associates, shall become the Beneficial Owner of the Designated Percentage or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding (or, if applicable, such larger amount
as provided in Section 1(a)(iii)) by reason of share purchases by the Company and such Person, together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall, after public announcement of such share
purchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares of the Company, then such Person shall be deemed to be an "Acquiring Person." 

        (iii)  CMGI, Inc.
shall not be or become an Acquiring Person unless and until it, together with its Affiliates and Associates, beneficially owns more Common Shares of
the Company than it, together with its Affiliates and Associates, beneficially owns as of the date hereof, provided, however, that in the event that
CMGI, Inc. and its Affiliates and Associates beneficially own collectively less than 15% of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, then from and after such time, this
paragraph (iii) will be of no further force and 

1

 

effect, and CMGI, Inc. and its Affiliates and Associates will be subject to the remaining terms of Section 1(a). 

        (b)  "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the following meanings: 

        (i)    An
"Affiliate" of, or a Person "affiliated" with, a specified Person, is
a Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Person specified. For this purpose,
"control" (including the terms "controlling," "controlled
by" and "under common control with") means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of
the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; 

        (ii)  The
term "Associate" used to indicate a relationship with any Person shall mean (A) any corporation or
organization (other than the Company or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company) of which such Person is an officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the Beneficial Owner of 10% or more of
any class of equity securities, (B) any trust or other estate in which such Person has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which such Person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary
capacity, and
(C) any relative or spouse of such Person, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same home as such Person or who is a director or officer of the Company or of any of its parents or
Subsidiaries. 

        (c)  A
Person shall be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of and shall be deemed to "beneficially
own" any securities: 

        (i)    that
such Person owns, directly or indirectly; 

        (ii)  that
such Person has (A) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding (other than customary agreements with and between underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities), written or otherwise,
or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights (other than the Rights), warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a
Person shall not be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of, or to beneficially own, securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such Person until such tendered
securities are accepted for purchase or exchange; or (B) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided,
however, that a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, or to beneficially own, any security if the agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such security
(1) arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given to such Person in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable rules and
regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) is not also then reportable on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report); or 

        (iii)  that
are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person with which such Person has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than customary
agreements with and between underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities), written or otherwise, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting
(except to the extent contemplated by the proviso to Section 1(c)(ii)(B)) or disposing of any securities of the Company. 

        Notwithstanding
anything in this definition of Beneficial Ownership to the contrary, (A) the phrase "then outstanding," when used
with reference to a Person's Beneficial Ownership of securities of the Company, shall mean the number of such securities then issued and outstanding together with the number of such securities not
then actually issued and outstanding that such 

2

 

Person would be deemed to own beneficially hereunder, and (B) a Person who is a director or officer of the Company or who is an Affiliate or Associate of a director or officer of the Company
(each, an "Exempted Person") shall not be deemed to "beneficially own" Common Shares held by another Exempted Person solely by reason of any agreement,
arrangement or understanding, written or otherwise, entered into in opposition to a transaction that, at the time such agreement, arrangement or understanding was entered into, has not been approved
or recommended by the Board of Directors to the stockholders of the Company. 

        (d)  "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State of
California are not open for business. 

        (e)  "Close of Business" on any given date shall mean 5:00 p.m., California Time, on such date;  provided, however, that if such date is not a Business Day it
shall mean 5:00 p.m., California Time, on the next succeeding Business Day. 

        (f)    "Common Shares" when used with reference to the Company shall mean the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of the Company. "Common Shares" when used with reference to any Person other than the Company shall mean the capital stock (or equity interest) with the greatest voting power of such other
Person or, if such other Person is a Subsidiary of another Person, of the Person or Persons that ultimately control such first-mentioned Person. 

        (g)  "Designated Percentage" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1(a) hereof. 

        (h)  "Distribution Date" shall mean the earlier of (i) the tenth day after the Shares Acquisition Date or
(ii) the tenth Business Day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors of the Company prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the
first public announcement of the intention of any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or any
entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan) to commence a tender or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any such Person becoming an Acquiring
Person (including any such date that is after the date of this Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Rights). 

        (i)    "Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

        (j)    "Final Expiration Date" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7(a) hereof. 

        (k)  "Person" shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited partnership, business trust, limited
liability company, unincorporated association or any other entity, and shall include any successor (by merger or otherwise) of such entity. 

        (l)    "Purchase Price" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7(b) hereof. 

        (m)  "Preferred Shares" shall mean shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share,
of the Company having the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designations attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. 

        (n)  "Redemption Date" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7(a) hereof. 

        (o)  "Rights" shall have the meaning set forth in the second paragraph of this Agreement, provided,
however, that none of the following shall be deemed "Rights" or "outstanding Rights" for any purpose under this Agreement from and after the effective time of the event
indicated: (i) Rights that have become Void Rights pursuant to Section 7(f) hereof, and upon such occurrence, all Right Certificates therefor shall be null and void and shall not be
deemed "outstanding Right Certificates"; (ii) all rights that have been redeemed pursuant to Section 23 hereof, and upon such occurrence, all Right Certificates therefor shall represent
only the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 23 hereof and shall not be deemed "outstanding 

3

 

Right Certificates", and (iii) any Rights that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24 hereof, and upon such occurrence, all Right Certificates therefor shall represent only the
right to receive the consideration provided in Section 24 and shall not be deemed "outstanding Right Certificates". 

        (p)  "Shares Acquisition Date" shall mean the earlier of the date of (i) the public announcement by the Company or an
Acquiring Person that an Acquiring Person has become such or (ii) the public disclosure of facts by the Company or an Acquiring Person indicating that an Acquiring Person has become such. 

        (q)  "Subsidiary" of any Person shall mean any Person of which a majority of the voting power of the voting equity securities
or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by such Person. 

        (r)  A

        Section 2.    Appointment of Rights Agent.    The Company hereby appoints the Rights
Agent to
act as agent for the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Company may from time to time appoint such
co-Rights Agents as it may deem necessary or desirable upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to the Rights Agent. The
Rights Agent shall have no duty to supervise, and shall in no event be liable for, the acts or omissions of any such co-Rights Agent. 

        Section 3.    Evidence of Rights Before Distribution Date; Transfer; Legends.    

        (a)  From
the Record Date until the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date, (x) Rights will be evidenced by the
certificates for Common Shares registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates shall also be deemed to be Right Certificates) and not by separate Right Certificates (as defined
below), and (y) Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of Common Shares. On the Record Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company will send a copy of a
Summary of Stock Purchase Rights, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the "Summary of
Rights"), by first-class, postage-prepaid mail, to each record holder of Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Record Date, at the address of such holder shown on
the records of the Company. Until the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date, the surrender for transfer of any certificate for Common Shares outstanding
on the Record Date, with or without a copy of the Summary of Rights attached thereto, shall also constitute the surrender for transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented
thereby. 

        (b)  Certificates
for Common Shares that become outstanding (including, without limitation, reacquired Common Shares referred to in the last sentence of this
Section 3(b)) after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date shall have impressed on, printed on, written on or
otherwise affixed to them the following legend: 

THIS CERTIFICATE ALSO EVIDENCES AND ENTITLES THE HOLDER HEREOF TO CERTAIN RIGHTS (THE "RIGHTS") AS SET FORTH IN A RIGHTS
AGREEMENT BETWEEN VICINITY CORPORATION (THE "COMPANY") AND AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, AS RIGHTS AGENT, DATED AS OF AUGUST 9, 2002,
AS SUCH MAY SUBSEQUENTLY BE AMENDED (THE "RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), THE TERMS OF WHICH ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND A COPY OF WHICH IS ON
FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, AS  

4

 

 SET FORTH IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, SUCH RIGHTS WILL BE EVIDENCED BY SEPARATE CERTIFICATES AND WILL NO LONGER BE EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. THE COMPANY WILL MAIL TO THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE
A COPY OF THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT WITHOUT CHARGE AFTER RECEIPT OF A WRITTEN REQUEST THEREFOR. AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 7(F) OF THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, RIGHTS BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY ANY PERSON WHO BECOMES AN
ACQUIRING PERSON (AS DEFINED IN THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT) AND CERTAIN OTHER PERSONS SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID.

In
the event that the Company purchases or acquires any Common Shares after the Record Date but prior to the Distribution Date, any Rights associated with such Common Shares shall be deemed cancelled
and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated with the Common Shares that are no longer outstanding. 

        Section 4.    Evidence of Rights After Distribution Date; Form of Right Certificates;
Countersignatures.    

        (a)  From
and after the Distribution Date until the earlier of the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date, Rights will be evidenced solely by Right Certificates that,
together with the forms of election to purchase Preferred Shares and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof, shall be substantially in the form set forth as  Exhibit C hereto (each, a
"Right Certificate"), which may have such marks of identification or
designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and which do not affect the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Rights Agent and as
are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation
of any stock exchange on which the Rights may from time to time be listed, or to conform to usage. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Right Certificates shall entitle the holders
thereof to purchase such number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share as shall be set forth therein at the Purchase Price, but the number of such one one-hundredths of a
Preferred Share and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

        (b)  The
Right Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, any of its Vice Presidents,
or its Treasurer, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall have affixed thereto the Company's seal or a facsimile thereof, and shall be attested by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of
the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature. The Right Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Rights Agent (unless applicable exchange rules and law permit facsimile signature,
in which case the Rights Agent signature may be by facsimile) and shall not be valid for any purpose unless countersigned. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Right
Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Right Certificates, nevertheless, may be
countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by the Company with the same force and effect as though the individual who signed such Right Certificates had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company; and any Right Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any individual who, at the actual date of the execution of such Right Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the
Company to sign such Right Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Rights Agreement any such individual was not such an officer. 

        Section 5.    Distribution of Certificates; Registration.    

        (a)  As
soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (and so long as the Redemption Date and the Final Expiration Date shall not have occurred), the Company will prepare
and execute, the Rights Agent will countersign and the Company will send or cause to be sent (and the Rights 

5

 

Agent will, if requested and provided with all necessary information, send) by first-class, insured, postage-prepaid mail to each record holder of Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the
Distribution Date (other than the holder of Void Rights (as defined in Section 7(f) hereof), at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, Rights Certificates evidencing
one Right for each Common Share so held. 

        (b)  Following
the Distribution Date and receipt by the Rights agent of all relevant information, the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its office, books for
registration and transfer of the Right Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Right Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced
on its face by each of the Right Certificates and the date of each of the Right Certificates. 

        Section 6.    Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Right Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Right
Certificates.    

        (a)  Subject
to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the
earlier of the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date, any Right Certificate or Right Certificates (other than Right Certificates representing Void Rights or Rights that have been exchanged
pursuant to Section 24 hereof) may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Right Certificate or Right Certificates, entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number
of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share as the Right Certificate or Right Certificates surrendered then entitled such holder to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer,
split up, combine or exchange any Right Certificate or Right Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender the Right Certificate or Right
Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the office of the Rights Agent. Thereupon the Company shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Person
entitled thereto a Right Certificate or Right Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient for all taxes and governmental charges that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Right Certificates. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation under this Section 6 unless and until it is
satisfied that all such taxes and/or charges have been paid. 

        (b)  Upon
receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Right Certificate, and,
at the Company's request, reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and, (i) in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security satisfactory to them, or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Right Certificate, then, in either such case, the Company will make
and deliver a new Right Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for delivery to the registered holder in lieu of the Right Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. 

        Section 7.    Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date; Void Rights.    

        (a)  The
registered holder of any Right Certificate may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided herein) in whole or in part at any time after the
Distribution Date upon surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side thereof duly executed, to the Rights Agent at the office of the Rights Agent,
together with payment of the Purchase Price for each one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share as to which the Rights are exercised and payment of all transfer taxes and governmental charges
required to be paid by the holder of such Right Certificate as provided in Section 9 hereof, at or prior to the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on August 9, 2012 (the
"Final Expiration Date"), (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof (the
"Redemption Date"), or (iii) the time at which such Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 24 hereof. 

6

 

        (b)  The
purchase price for each one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share pursuant to the exercise of a Right (the "Purchase
Price") shall initially be $14.00, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13 hereof and shall be payable in lawful money of the United
States of America in accordance with Section 7(c) hereof. 

        (c)  Upon
receipt of a Right Certificate representing exercisable Rights within the time permitted in Section 7(a), with the form of election to purchase and
certificate duly executed, accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price for the shares to be purchased and an amount equal to all applicable taxes and governmental charges required to be paid by the
holder of such Right Certificate in accordance with Section 9 hereof by certified check, cashier's check or money order payable to the order of the Company, the Rights Agent shall promptly
(i)(A) requisition from any transfer agent of the Preferred Shares certificates for the number of one-one hundredths of a Preferred Share to be purchased, and the Company hereby
irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or (B) requisition from any depositary agent for the Preferred Shares depositary receipts representing such number of
one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the Preferred Shares represented by such receipts shall be deposited by the transfer agent
with the depositary agent), and the Company hereby directs the depositary agent to comply with all such requests, (ii) when appropriate, requisition from the Company the amount of cash to be
paid in lieu of issuance of fractional Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof, (iii) after receipt of such certificates or depositary receipts, cause the same to be
delivered to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder and (iv) when appropriate, after receipt,
deliver such cash to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate. 

        (d)  In
case the registered holder of any Right Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Right Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent to
the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the Rights Agent to the registered holder of such Right Certificate or to such holder's duly authorized assigns, subject to the provisions of
Section 6 and Section 14 hereof. 

        (e)  The
Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available, out of its authorized and unissued Preferred Shares or any Preferred Shares held
in its treasury, the number of Preferred Shares that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all Rights in accordance with this Section 7. 

        (f)    From
and after the time that any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, (i) all Rights that are or were acquired or beneficially owned by such Acquiring Person (and
all Rights that are or were acquired or beneficially owned by each Associate and by each Affiliate of such Acquiring Person) shall be null and void without any further action on the part of the
Company, the Rights Agent or any other Person (all such Rights, "Void Rights") and (ii) any holder thereof shall thereafter have no right to
exercise such Void Rights under any provision of this Agreement. No Right Certificate shall be issued pursuant to Sections 5 or 6 that represents Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person whose
Rights have become Void Rights pursuant to the preceding sentence or by any Associate or Affiliate thereof; no Right Certificate shall be issued at any time upon the transfer of any Rights to an
Acquiring Person whose Rights have become Void Rights pursuant to the preceding sentence or to any Associate or Affiliate thereof or to any nominee of such Acquiring Person, Associate or Affiliate;
and any Right Certificate delivered to the Rights Agent for transfer to an Acquiring Person whose Rights have become Void Rights pursuant to the preceding sentence or for transfer to any Associate or
Affiliate thereof shall be cancelled. This Section 7(f) shall apply not only to an initial Acquiring Person, and each of its Affiliates and Associates, but also to all subsequent Acquiring
Persons, and each of their Affiliates and Associates. 

7

 

        (g)  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a
registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have (i) properly completed and signed the certificate
following the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Right Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the
Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company or the Rights agent shall reasonably request. 

        Section 8.    Cancellation and Destruction of Right Certificates.    All Right
Certificates
surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or
in cancelled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be cancelled by it, and no Right Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of
this Rights Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall cancel and retire, any other Right Certificate purchased or acquired by
the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver all cancelled Right Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such
cancelled Right Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company. 

        Section 9.    Status and Availability of Preferred Shares.    The Company covenants
and agrees
that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all Preferred Shares delivered upon valid exercise of Rights in compliance with Section 7 shall, at the time of delivery of
the certificates for such Preferred Shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and non-assessable shares. 

        The
Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all taxes and governmental charges that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of
the Right Certificates or of any Preferred Shares upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required (i) to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be payable in
respect of any transfer or delivery of Right Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates or depositary receipts for the Preferred Shares in a name other than that
of, the registered holder of the Right Certificate evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or (ii) to deliver any certificates or depositary receipts for Preferred Shares upon
the exercise of any Rights until all such taxes and governmental charges shall have been paid (all such taxes and governmental charges being payable by the holder of such Right Certificate at the time
of surrender for exercise) or until it has been established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or governmental charge is due. 

        Section 10.    Preferred Shares Record Date.    Each Person in whose name any
certificate for Preferred Shares is issued upon the valid exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Preferred Shares represented thereby on, and
such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Right Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and any applicable taxes and governmental
charges) was made. Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Right Certificate shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of Preferred Shares for which the Rights
shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any
notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein. 

        Section 11.    Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of Shares or Number of
Rights.    The Purchase Price, the number of Preferred Shares covered by each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time
as provided in this Section 11, provided, however, that no 

8

 

adjustment, payment or distribution of securities or other change in the Rights or securities issuable upon exercise of any Rights as provided in this Section 11 shall apply to any Void
Rights. 

        (a)  (i)
In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the Preferred Shares payable in Preferred Shares,
(B) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Shares, (C) combine the outstanding Preferred Shares into a smaller number of Preferred Shares or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock
in a reclassification of the Preferred Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation), except
as otherwise provided in this Section 11(a), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such dividend, subdivision, combination or
reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of capital stock that would be
issuable upon exercise of a Right on such date (if such Rights were then exercisable), shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock that, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date, such holder would have owned upon such exercise and been
entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that in no event shall the
consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of the class or series of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. 

        (ii)  Subject
to Section 7(f) and Section 24 of this Agreement, in the event that any Person shall become an Acquiring Person, unless the event causing the
Designated Percentage threshold to be crossed and the Person to thereby become an Acquiring Person is a transaction set forth in Section 13 hereof, each holder of a Right shall thereafter have
a right to receive, upon exercise of such Right at a price equal to the then current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is
then exercisable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares, such number of Common Shares of the Company as shall equal the result obtained by
(x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable and dividing that product by
(y) 50% of the then current per share market price of the Company's Common Shares (determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the date such Person became an Acquiring Person. 

        (iii)  In
the event that the number of Common Shares that are authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation and not outstanding or subscribed for, or reserved or
otherwise committed for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights, is not sufficient to permit the holder of each Right to purchase the number of Common Shares to which such holder
would be entitled upon the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii), the Company shall: (A) determine the excess of (1) the value of the Common Shares
issuable upon the exercise of a Right (calculated as provided in the last sentence of this Section 11(a)(iii)) pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof (the
"Current Value") over (2) the Purchase Price (such excess, the "Spread"), and (B) with
respect to each Right, make adequate provision to substitute for such Common Shares, upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in the Purchase Price,
(3) Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company (including, without limitation, shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, or units of shares of the Company's capital stock) that the
Board of Directors of the Company has determined to have the same value as Common Shares (such equity securities, "common stock equivalents")),
(4) debt securities of the Company, (5) other assets or (6) any combination of the foregoing, having an aggregate value equal to the Current Value, where such aggregate value has
been determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; provided, however, if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to
deliver value pursuant to clause (B) of this paragraph within thirty (30) days 

9

 

following the first occurrence of an event triggering the rights to purchase Common Shares described in Section 11(a)(ii) (the
"Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date"), then the Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a Right without
requiring payment of the Purchase Price, Common Shares (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, which shares and cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread. If the Board of
Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith that it is likely that sufficient additional Common Shares could be authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the Rights, the thirty
(30) day period set forth above may be extended to the extent necessary, but not more than ninety (90) days after the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date, in order that the
Company
may seek stockholder approval for the authorization of such additional shares (such period, as it may be extended, the "Substitution Period"). To the
extent that the Company determines that some action needs to be taken pursuant to the first and/or second sentences of this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company (x) shall provide, subject to
Section 7(g) hereof, that such action shall apply uniformly to all Rights, and (y) may suspend the exercisability of the Rights until the expiration of the Substitution Period in order
to seek any authorization of additional shares and/or to decide the appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to such first sentence and to determine the value thereof. In the event of any
such suspension, the Company shall make a public announcement, and shall deliver to the Rights Agent a statement, stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. At such
time as the suspension is no longer in effect, the Company shall make another public announcement, and deliver to the Rights Agent a statement, so stating. For purposes of this
Section 11(a)(iii), the value of the Common Shares shall be the current per share market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) hereof) of the Common Shares on the
Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date and the value of any "common stock equivalent" shall be deemed to have the same value as the Common Shares on such date. 

        (b)  In
case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Preferred Shares entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase Preferred Shares (or shares having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Preferred Shares ("equivalent preferred shares")) or
securities convertible into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares at a price per Preferred Share or equivalent preferred share (or having a conversion price per share, if a security
convertible into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares) less than the then current per share market price of the Preferred Shares (as defined in Section 11(d)) on such record date,
the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying (x) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by (y) a fraction,
(1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus (B) the number of Preferred Shares that the aggregate offering
price of the total number of Preferred Shares and/or equivalent preferred shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would
purchase at such current market price and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus (B) the number of
additional Preferred Shares and/or equivalent preferred shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible);  provided, however,
 that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the class
or series of shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other
than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights
Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. Preferred Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and 

10

 

in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed. 

        (c)  In
case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of the Preferred Shares (including any such distribution made in connection
with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets
(other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or a dividend payable in Preferred Shares) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11(b) hereof), the Purchase
Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying (x) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by (y) a fraction, (1) the
numerator of which shall be the difference of (A) then current per share market price of the Preferred Shares on such record date, less (B) the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes) of the portion of the assets
or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one Preferred Share and (2) the denominator of which shall be such current per share
market price of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than
the aggregate par value of the class or series of shares of capital stock of the Company to be issued upon exercise of one Right. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record
date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed. 

        (d)  (i)
For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current per share market price" of any security (a
"Security" for the purpose of this Section 11(d)(i)) on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such
Security for the 30 consecutive Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; provided, however, that in the event
that the current per share market price of the Security is determined during a period following the announcement by the issuer of such Security of (A) a dividend or distribution on such
Security payable in shares of such Security or securities convertible into such shares, or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Security and prior to the expiration of
30 Trading Days after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the
current per share market price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the current market price per share equivalent of such Security. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price,
regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction
reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as
reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Security is listed or admitted to
trading or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price, or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in
the over-the-counter market, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") or such other system then in use, or, if on any
such date the Security is not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Security selected by
the Board of Directors of the Company. The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Security
is listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a Business Day. 

11

 

        (ii)  For
the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current per share market price" of the Preferred Shares shall be determined in accordance with the method set forth
in Section 11(d)(i). If the Preferred Shares are not publicly traded, the "current per share market price" of the Preferred Shares
shall be conclusively deemed to be the current per share market price of the Common Shares as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) (appropriately adjusted to reflect each stock split,
stock combination, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof), multiplied by one hundred. If neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred Shares are publicly held or so
listed or traded, "current per share market price" shall mean the fair value per share thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be
described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. 

        (e)  No
adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price;  provided, however, that any adjustments that by
reason of this Section 11(e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one one-millionth of a Preferred Share or one
one-thousandth of any other share or security as the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall
be made no later than three years from the date of the transaction that, but for such sentence of this Section 11(e), would have required such adjustment. 

        (f)    If
as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of
capital stock of the Company other than Preferred Shares, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right shall thereafter be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred Shares contained in Section 11(a) through (c), inclusive, and the provisions of Sections
7, 9, 10 and 13 with respect to the Preferred Shares shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. 

        (g)  All
Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted
Purchase Price, the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided
herein. 

        (h)  Unless
the Company shall have exercised its election as provided in Section 11(i), upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made
in Sections 11(b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of one
one-hundredths of a Preferred Share (calculated to the nearest one one-millionth of a Preferred Share) obtained by (i) multiplying (x) the number of one
one-hundredths of a share covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price and
(ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price. 

        (i)    The
Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights in substitution for any adjustment in the number of one
one-hundredths of a Preferred Share purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the
number of one one-hundredths of a
Preferred Share for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights and outstanding thereafter shall
become that number of Rights (calculated to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing (x) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to 

12

 

adjustment of the Purchase Price by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The Company shall make a public announcement (with prompt notice
thereof to the Rights Agent) of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This
record date may be the date on which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Right Certificates have been distributed, shall be at least 10 days later than the date of
the public announcement. If Right Certificates have been distributed, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(i), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable,
cause to be distributed to holders of record of Right Certificates on such record date, Right Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 14 hereof, the additional Rights to which such holders
shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Right Certificates
held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Right Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled
after such adjustment. Right Certificates to be so distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein and shall be registered in the names of the holders of
record of Right Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. 

        (j)    Irrespective
of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share issuable upon the exercise of the
Rights, the Right Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price and the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share that were expressed in
the initial Right Certificates issued hereunder. 

        (k)  Before
taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below one one-hundredth of the then par value of the Preferred Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and non-assessable Preferred Shares at such adjusted Purchase Price. 

        (l)    In
any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the
Company may elect to defer (and shall promptly notify the Rights Agent of any such elections), until the occurrence of such event, the issuing to the holder of any Right exercised after such record
date, the additional Preferred Shares and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Preferred Shares and other capital stock or
securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however,
that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring
such adjustment. 

        (m)  Anything
in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those
adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that it in its sole discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any (i) subdivision, combination or
consolidation of the Preferred Shares, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of Preferred Shares or securities that by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Shares,
(iii) dividends on Preferred Shares payable in Preferred Shares or (iv) issuance of any rights, options or warrants referred to hereinabove in Section 11(b), hereafter made by the
Company to holders of its Preferred Shares shall not be taxable to such stockholders. 

        (n)  In
the event that at any time after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or
(ii) effect a 

13

 

subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise other than by payment of dividends in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares,
then in any such case (i) the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share purchasable after such event upon proper exercise of each Right shall be determined by multiplying
(x) the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share so purchasable immediately prior to such event by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the number of
Common Shares outstanding immediately before such event and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and (ii) each Common
Share outstanding immediately after such event shall have issued with respect to it that number of Rights that each Common Share outstanding immediately prior to such event had issued with respect to
it. The adjustments provided for in this Section 11(n) shall be made successively whenever such a dividend is declared or paid or such a subdivision, combination or consolidation is effected. 

        (o)  The
Company covenants and agrees that, after the Distribution Date, it will not, except as permitted by Sections 23, 24 and 27, take (or permit any Subsidiary to take)
any action if the purpose of such action is to, or if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will, diminish substantially or eliminate the benefits intended to
be afforded by the Rights. 

        Section 12.    Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares.    Whenever
an adjustment is made as provided in Sections 11 or 13 hereof, the Company shall promptly (a) prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a brief statement of the facts and
computations accounting for such adjustment, (b) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares or the Preferred Shares a copy of such certificate and
(c) mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Right Certificate in accordance with Section 25 hereof. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate
and on any adjustment therein contained and shall have no duty with respect to and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate. 

        Section 13.    Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning
Power.    In the event that any Person shall become an Acquiring Person, and, directly or indirectly, (a) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge with and
into, an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, (b) an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, shall consolidate with the
Company, or merge with and into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such merger and, in connection with such merger, all or part of the Common Shares shall
be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person (or the Company) or cash or any other property, or (c) the Company shall sell or otherwise transfer (or one or
more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer), in one or more transactions, assets or earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that (i) each holder
of a Right (other than Rights that have become Void Rights) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at a price equal to the then current Purchase Price multiplied by the
number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares, such number of
Common Shares of the Person in the transaction (including the Company as successor thereto or as the surviving corporation) who is issuing the consideration with the greatest fair market value to the
Company and its stockholders in connection with such transaction (the "Principal Issuer") as shall equal the result obtained by (A) multiplying
the then current Purchase Price by the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable and dividing that product by (B) 50% of the then
current per share market price of the Common Shares of the Principal Issuer (determined pursuant to 

14

 

Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of consummation of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer; (ii) the Principal Issuer shall be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the term "Company" shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Principal
Issuer; and (iv) the Principal Issuer shall take such steps (including, but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of its Common Shares in accordance with Section 9
hereof) in connection with such consummation as may be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to the Common Shares
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not consummate any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer unless prior thereto the Company
and the Principal Issuer shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement so providing. The Company shall not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this
Section 13 if at the time of such transaction there are any rights, warrants, instruments or securities outstanding or any agreements or arrangements that, as a result of the consummation of
such transaction, would eliminate or substantially diminish the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or
consolidations or sales or other transfers. 

        Section 14.    Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares.    

        (a)  The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Right Certificates that evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights,
there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the
current market value of a whole Right. For the purposes of this Section 14(a), the current market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the Trading Day immediately
prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable. The closing price for any day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on
such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or
admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Rights are
not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Rights are listed or admitted to trading or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not
so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by Nasdaq or such other system then in use or, if on any such date the
Rights are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Rights selected by the Board of
Directors of the Company. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Rights, the fair value of the Rights on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company shall be used. 

        (b)  The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Preferred Shares (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a
Preferred Share) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional Preferred Shares (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-hundredth
of a Preferred Share). Fractions of Preferred Shares in integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary
receipts, pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Company and a depositary selected by it; provided, that such agreement shall provide that the
holders of such depositary receipts shall have all the rights, privileges and preferences to which they are entitled as beneficial owners of the Preferred Shares represented by such depositary
receipts. In lieu of fractional Preferred Shares that are not integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, the Company shall pay to the registered holders of Right 

15

 

Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fractions of the current market value of one Preferred Share. For the purposes of this
Section 14(b), the current market value of a Preferred Share shall be the closing price of a Preferred Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of
Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise. 

        (c)  The
holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly waives any right to receive fractional Rights or fractional shares upon exercise of a Right (except as
provided above). 

        Section 15.    Rights of Action.    All rights of action in respect of this
Agreement,
excepting the rights of action of the Rights Agent and the Company, are vested in the respective registered holders of the Rights; and any registered holder of any Right may, without the consent of
the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Right, in such holder's own behalf and for such holder's own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the
Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such holder's right to exercise the Rights in the manner provided in this Agreement and in any issued and outstanding Right Certificate representing
such Right. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for
any breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of the obligations of any Person
subject to, this Agreement. 

        Section 16.    Agreement of Right Holders.    Every holder of a Right, by
accepting the
same, consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that: 

        (a)  prior
to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the Common Shares; 

        (b)  after
the Distribution Date, the Right Certificates are transferable only on the registry books maintained by the Rights Agent if surrendered at the office of the Rights
Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer and payment of taxes and governmental changes, all as otherwise provided in Section 6; and 

        (c)  the
Company and the Rights Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name the Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Shares
certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Right Certificates or the associated Common
Shares certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice (other than
notice provided by transfer documentation properly completed and tendered in accordance with this Agreement) to the contrary. 

        (d)  notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or other Person as
a result of its failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, judgment or ruling (whether interlocutory
final) issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted
by any governmental authority prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation. 

        Section 17.    Right Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.    No holder,
as
such, of any Right shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Preferred Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable
on the exercise of such Rights nor shall anything contained herein or in any Right Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Rights, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to 

16

 

give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in Section 25 hereof), or to receive dividends or
subscription rights, or otherwise, until such Right shall have been properly exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

        Section 18.    Compensation and Indemnity of the Rights Agent.    (a) The
Company
agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and
other disbursements incurred in the preparation, delivery, amendment, administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company also agrees
to indemnify the Rights Agent (including employees, directors, officers and agents of the Rights Agent (the Rights Agent together with such Persons, the "Agent
Indemnitees")) for, and to hold each Agent Indemnitee harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim, demand, settlement, cost or expense (each
an "Agent Loss"), incurred on the part of such Agent Indemnitee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of the Agent Indemnitees in connection
with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the premises, provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to indemnify any Agent Indemnitee hereunder for any Agent Loss that resulted from any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Agent Indemnitee in bad faith or through gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Rights Agent or any other Agent Indemnity, as each is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the respective Agent Indemnitee shall promptly refund to
the Company all sums advanced to such Agent Indemnitee as or against indemnification for Agent Losses upon such judicial determination. If an Agent Indemnitee brings an action to enforce its right to
indemnification under this Section 18, the Company shall pay the costs of such action to the extent that such Agent Indemnitee is a prevailing party in such litigation. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event shall any Agent Indemnitee be liable for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost
profits), even if such Agent Indemnitee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. Any liability of an Agent Indemnitee under this Rights Agreement will be limited to the amount of
fees paid by the Company to the Rights Agent. The provisions of this Section 18 and Section 20 below shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the exercise or expiration of the
Rights and the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent. 

        (b)  The
Rights Agent shall be authorized to rely on, shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement or the exercise or performance of its duties hereunder in reliance upon any Right Certificate or certificate for Common Stock or for
other securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, instruction, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other
paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons. 

        Section 19.    Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent.    Any
Person
into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any
successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the shareholder service business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent
under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person would be eligible for appointment as a
successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Right
Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of 

17

 

the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Right Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent
may countersign such Right Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the
full force provided in the Right Certificates and in this Agreement. 

        In
case at any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may
adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Right Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights
Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right
Certificates and in this Agreement. 

        Section 20.    Rights and Duties of Rights Agent.    The Rights Agent undertakes
only
the duties and obligations expressly imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and, by their acceptance of Rights, the holders of Rights shall be
bound: 

        (a)  The
Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with
such advice or opinion. 

        (b)  Whenever
in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by
the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by any one of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice President, the General Counsel, the Treasurer
or the Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent shall incur no liability for
or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitting in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 

        (c)  The
Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Rights Agent makes no representation or warranty with respect to and is not responsible or liable for the validity, value or availability of the Rights, the Right Certificates or the Preferred
Shares. 

        (d)  The
Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with, its administration of this Agreement
in reliance upon any Right Certificate or certificate for the Common Shares or for other securities of the Company, instrument of
assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed,
executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons, or otherwise upon the advice or opinion of counsel as set forth in this Section 20. 

        (e)  The
Rights Agent shall not be assumed to have knowledge of and shall not be required to take note of or act upon any fact or circumstance including, without limitation,
the occurrence of facts or circumstances leading to the Shares Acquisition Date or the Distribution Date, facts or circumstances relating to whether any Person may be an Affiliate or an Associate of
any other Person, facts or circumstances relevant to an adjustment to the Purchase Price, facts or circumstances relevant to events described in Section 13 (mergers, etc.), Section 23
(redemption) and Section 24 (exchange) that may be relevant to performance by the Rights Agent under this Agreement unless the Company has provided written notice thereof to the Rights Agent;
and the Company agrees that it will (i) promptly notify the Rights Agent in writing of the occurrence of the Shares Acquisition Date (including the identity of the Acquiring Person and the date
on which the Shares Acquisition Date occurred), the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date, and of any events described in Section 13 (merger), and (ii) promptly provide the Rights Agent
with such other information as the Rights Agent may reasonably request in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement. 

18

  

        (f)    The
Rights Agent shall not have any liability for or be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof
(except the due authorization and execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Right Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be
responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Right Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the
Rights (including the Rights becoming null and void pursuant to Section 7(f) hereof) or any change or adjustment in the terms of the Rights (including the manner, method or amount thereof)
provided for in Section 3, 11, 13, 23 or 24, or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such change or adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights
evidenced by Right Certificates after receipt of the certificate described in Section 12 hereof, upon which the Rights Agent may rely); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any
representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Preferred Shares will, when issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

        (g)  The
Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts,
instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. 

        (h)  The
Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any one of the Chairman of the
Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice President, the General Counsel, the Secretary or the Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in
connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer or for any delay in acting while waiting
for those instructions. Any application by the Rights Agent for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or
omitted by the Rights Agent with respect to its duties or obligations under this Rights Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or omitted and the Rights Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified therein (which date shall not be less than three
Business Days after the date any such officer actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to an earlier date) unless, prior to taking or omitting any
such action, the Rights Agent has received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 

        (i)    The
Rights Agent and any stockholder, director, Affiliate, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the
Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money
to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the
Company or for any other Person. 

        (j)    The
Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or
agents, and, with regard to acts performed through its attorneys, the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or for any
loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, absent bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Rights Agent (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction) in the selection and continued employment of such attorneys. 

19

 

        (k)  No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if it reasonably believes that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

        Section 21.    Change of Rights Agent.    The Rights Agent or any successor
Rights
Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 30 days' notice in writing mailed to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares
by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon 30 days' notice in
writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares by registered or certified mail, and to the
holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights
Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or
incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a Right (who shall, with such notice, submit such holder's Right Certificate or, before the Distribution Date, certificate
representing Common Shares, for inspection by the Company), then the registered holder of any Right may apply to any court of the United States or of any state thereof having competent jurisdiction
over such matter for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be (i) a Person organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States or of the State of California (or of any other state of the United States), so long as such Person in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise
shareholder service powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50 million dollars or (ii) an Affiliate of a Person described in clause (i) of this sentence. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor
Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any
such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent
of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered holders of Rights. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any
defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. 

        Section 22.    Issuance of New Right Certificates.    Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of the Rights to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Right Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by its Board of Directors
to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property purchasable under the Rights made in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement. In addition, following the Distribution Date and prior to the Redemption Date or Final Expiration Date, in connection with the issuance or sale of Common Shares pursuant to the
exercise of stock options or under any employee plan or arrangement or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities of the Company, in each case, which options or securities are
outstanding prior to the Distribution Date, the Board of Directors shall issue Right Certificates representing the appropriate number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale;  provided,
however, that (i) no such Right Certificate shall be issued and this sentence shall be
null and void ab initio if, and to the extent that, such issuance or this sentence would create a significant risk of or result in material adverse tax
consequences to the Company or the Person to whom such Right Certificate would be issued or would 

20

 

create a significant risk of or result in such options' or employee plans' or arrangements' failing to qualify for otherwise available special tax treatment and (ii) no such Right Certificate
shall be issued if, and to the extent that, appropriate adjustment shall otherwise have been made in lieu of the issuance thereof. 

        Section 23.    Redemption.    

        (a)  The
Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, at any time from and after the Record Date and prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person
(the "Redemption Period"), redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.001 per Right, appropriately
adjusted to reflect each stock split, stock combination, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such redemption price, as so adjusted, being hereinafter referred to as
the "Redemption Price"). After the Redemption Period has expired, the Board of Directors may not extend the period for redemption of the Rights or
otherwise provide for their redemption. The redemption of the Rights by the Board of Directors may be made effective at such time during the Redemption Period, on such basis and subject to such
conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. 

        (b)  Immediately
upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Company ordering the redemption of the Rights pursuant to Section 23(a), and without any further
action and without any notice, the right to exercise all then outstanding Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price. The
Company shall promptly give notice to the Rights Agent and public notice of any such redemption; provided,  however, that the failure to give, or any defect
in, any such notice shall not affect the validity of such redemption. Within 10 days after such
action of the
Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights pursuant to Section 23(a), the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to all the holders of the then outstanding Rights at their last
addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice that is mailed in
the manner herein provided shall be deemed given upon mailing, whether or not the holder receives the notice. If the payment of the Redemption Price is not included in such notice, each such notice
shall state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at
any time in any manner other than (i) as specifically set forth in this Section 23 or in Section 24 hereof, or (ii) in connection with the purchase of Common Shares prior
to the Distribution Date. 

        Section 24.    Exchange.    

        (a)  The
Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, authorize and direct the exchange of all or part of
the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become Void Rights) for Common Shares at an exchange ratio (the "Exchange
Ratio") of one Common Share per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect each stock split, stock combination, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall not be empowered to effect such exchange at any time after any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any
employee benefit plan of the Company or any such Subsidiary or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan), together with all Affiliates and Associates of such
Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of a majority of the Common Shares then outstanding. 

        (b)  Immediately
upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Company ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant Section 24(a) hereof and without any further
action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of a 

21

 

holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of Common Shares equal to the number of such Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The Company shall promptly give notice
to the Rights Agent and public notice of any such exchange; provided, however, that the failure to give,
or any defect in, such notice shall not affect the validity of such exchange. The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all of the holders of such Rights at their last addresses
as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given when mailed, whether or not the holder receives the notice.
Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of the Common Shares for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights that will be
exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights that have become Void Rights) held by each holder of Rights. 

        (c)  In
any exchange pursuant to this Section 24, the Company, at its option, may substitute Preferred Shares (or common stock equivalents, as such term is defined in
Section 11(a)(iii) hereof) for Common Shares exchangeable for Rights, at the initial rate of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (or common stock equivalents) for each
Common Share, as appropriately adjusted to reflect adjustments in
the voting rights of the Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms thereof, so that the fraction of a Preferred Share delivered in lieu of each Common Share shall have the same voting rights as one
Common Share. 

        (d)  In
the event that there shall not be sufficient Common Shares, Preferred Shares or common stock equivalents authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation and
not outstanding or subscribed for, or reserved or otherwise committed for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of Rights, to permit any exchange of Rights as contemplated in accordance with
this Section 24, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or common stock equivalents for issuance upon exchange of the
Rights. 

        (e)  The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Common Shares or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional Common Shares. In lieu of such fractional
Common Shares, the Company shall pay to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional Common Shares would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the
same fraction of the current per share market value of a whole Common Share. For the purposes of this Section 24(e), the current per share market value of a whole Common Share shall be the
closing price of a Common Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this
Section 24. 

        Section 25.    Notice of Certain Events.    

        (a)  In
case the Company shall propose (i) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its Preferred Shares or to make any other distribution
to the holders of its Preferred Shares (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend), (ii) to offer to the holders of its Preferred Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase
any additional Preferred Shares or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Preferred Shares (other than a
reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding Preferred Shares), (iv) to effect any consolidation or merger into or with, or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit
one or more of its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more transactions, of 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole)
to, any other Person, (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (vi) to declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or to
effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the 

22

 

Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of dividends in Common Shares), then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Rights Agent and each holder of a Right
Certificate, in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such stock dividend, or distribution of rights or
warrants, or the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the
holders of the Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares, if any such date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at
least 10 days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Preferred Shares for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such other action,
at least 10 days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of the Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares, whichever shall be the
earlier. 

        (b)  If
any event set forth in Section 11(a)(ii) hereof shall occur, then the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each holder of a Right
Certificate, in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of the occurrence of such event, which notice shall describe such event and the consequences of such event to holders of Rights under
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof. 

        Section 26.    Notices.    Notices or demands authorized by this Agreement to be

    SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK    
    
    of    
    
    VICINITY CORPORATION
  
  

(Pursuant
to Section 151 of the

Delaware General Corporation Law) 

        Vicinity
Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the
"Corporation"), hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as required by
Section 151 of the General Corporation Law at a meeting duly called and held on August 6, 2002: 

        RESOLVED,
that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation (hereinafter called the "Board of
Directors" or the "Board") in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board
of Directors hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and hereby states the
designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences, and limitations thereof as follows: 

        Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock: 

        Section 1.    Designation and Amount.    The shares of such series shall be
designated
as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and
the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 1,000,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no
decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock. 

        Section 2.    Dividends and Distributions.    

        (A)  Subject
to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any other stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred
Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a
"Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share
of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount (if any) per share (rounded to the nearest cent), subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate per
share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares
of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company or a subdivision of the 

1

 

outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than
by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying (x) such amount by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (2) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event. 

        (B)  The
Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section immediately after it
declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock). 

        (C)  Dividends
due pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Section shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in
which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for
the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such
dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis
among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of
a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. 

        Section 3.    Voting Rights.    The holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall have the following voting rights: 

        (A)  Subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters
submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect
a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying (x) such number by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (2) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event. 

        (B)  Except
as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares
of Series A 

2

 

Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a
vote of stockholders of the Corporation. 

        (C)  Except
as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not
be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. 

        Section 4.    Certain Restrictions.    

        (A)  Whenever
quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears,
thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation
shall not: 

        (i)    declare
or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
to the Series A Preferred Stock; 

        (ii)  declare
or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or 

        (iii)  redeem
or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to
the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the
Corporation ranking junior (as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock. 

        (B)  The
Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the
Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. 

        Section 5.    Reacquired Shares.    Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become
authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the
Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law. 

        Section 6.    Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.    

        (A)  Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in
preference to any distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock, the amount of $1.00 per share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them.
Thereafter, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to
100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend 

3

 

on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying (x) such amount by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (2) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately
prior to such event. 

        (B)  If
the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the full preferential amount set forth in the first sentence of paragraph (A) above, then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available
for distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be distributed among such holders in proportion to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them. 

        (C)  The
foregoing rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up provided to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the rights of the holders
of any other series of Preferred Stock (or any other stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. 

        Section 7.    Consolidation, Merger, etc.    In case the Corporation shall enter
into
any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or other property, then in any
such case each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed
or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in
each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying (x) such
amount by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and (2) the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 

        Section 8.    No Redemption.    The shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall not
be redeemable.

Exhibit B    
  

 
  SUMMARY OF STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS    
  

        On August 6, 2002, the Board of Directors of Vicinity Corporation (the "Company") declared a dividend of
one (1) stock purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
"Common Shares"), of the Company. The dividend is payable to stockholders of record on August 9, 2002 (the "Record
Date"). In addition, one Right will be issued with each share of Company common stock that becomes outstanding (i) between the Record Date and the earliest of the
Distribution Date (as defined below), the date the Rights are redeemed and the date the Rights expire or (ii) following the Distribution Date and prior to the date the Rights are redeemed and
the date the Rights expire, pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities of the Company, outstanding prior to the Distribution
Date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of the Company's Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Shares") at a price of $14.00 per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. A complete description of the terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, as Rights Agent. 

        Until
the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days following a public announcement or disclosure that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an
"Acquiring Person"), has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock (or, with regard to specified persons,
such other amount set forth in the Rights Agreement) or (ii) 10 business days (or a later date determined by the Company's Board of Directors before a person or group becomes an Acquiring
Person) following the announcement of an intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of
such dates being called the "Distribution Date"), the Rights will be represented by common stock certificates with a copy of this Summary of Rights
attached. No person or group will become an Acquiring Person if the Company's Board of Directors determines that such person crossed the ownership threshold inadvertently, and such person or group
promptly sells shares of Company common stock until they own less than 15% of the outstanding common stock (or, with regard to specified persons, such other amount set forth in the Rights Agreement). 

        The
Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferred only with Company common stock. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or
expiration of the Rights), new common stock certificates issued after the Record Date will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier
redemption or expiration of the Rights), the transfer of any common stock certificates, even without such notation or a copy of this Summary of Rights being attached, will also constitute the transfer
of the Rights associated with the Company common stock represented by such certificate. After the Distribution Date, separate certificates representing the Rights will be mailed to record holders of
Company common stock on the Distribution Date and such separate certificates alone will evidence the Rights. If shares of Company common stock are issued or sold after the Distribution Date (but prior
to the redemption or expiration of the Rights) in connection with the exercise of stock options or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities of the Company outstanding prior to the
Distribution Date, the Company shall issue the appropriate number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale. 

        The
Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on August 9, 2012, unless the expiration date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier
redeemed or exchanged by the Company, as described below. Until a Right is exercised, the holder of a Right, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company.

        The
purchase price payable, and the number of Preferred Shares or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to
prevent dilution. The number of Rights and the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred Share issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to adjustment upon certain events
occurring before the Distribution Date. 

        The
Preferred Shares have been structured so that each Preferred Share has dividend, liquidation and voting rights equal to those of 100 shares of Company common stock. Because of this,
the value of the one one-hundredth interest in a Preferred Share purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one Common Share. The Preferred Shares are not
redeemable. 

        In
the event that any person owns more than 15% of the Company's outstanding common stock (or, with regard to specified persons, such other amount set forth in the Rights Agreement) and
thereby becomes an Acquiring Person, unless the event causing the person to become an Acquiring Person is a merger, acquisition or other business combination described in the next paragraph, each
holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise and payment of the exercise
price that number of shares of common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. If the Company does not have enough authorized but unissued shares of common stock to
satisfy this obligation to issue common shares, the Company will deliver upon payment of the exercise price of a Right an amount of cash or other securities equivalent in value to the common stock
issuable upon exercise of a Right. 

        In
the event that any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and the Company merges into or engages in certain other business combinations with an Acquiring Person, or 50% or more
of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold to an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right, other than Rights owned by an Acquiring Person, will thereafter have the right to receive, upon
exercise and payment of the exercise price, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company that at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise price
of the Right. 

        At
any time after a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to such person acquiring a majority of the outstanding Company common stock, the Company Board of Directors may
exchange all or some of the Rights (other than Rights owned by the Acquiring Person), at an exchange ratio of one common share, or one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (or other
equivalent securities), per Right. 

        At
any time before a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company Board of Directors may redeem all (but not some) of the Rights at a price of $0.001 per Right and on such
terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may establish. After the period for redemption of the Rights has expired, the Board may not amend the Rights Agreement to extend the period for
redemption of the Rights. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption
price. 

        The
terms of the Rights may be amended by a resolution of the Board of Directors without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that after a person or group becomes an
Acquiring Person, no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights (other than an Acquiring Person). 

        A
copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated August 12,
2002. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Rights Agreement, which is deemed to be incorporated into this summary.

        This
certifies that                        or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the number of Rights set forth above, each
of which entitles the owner thereof, subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Rights Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2002 (the "Rights Agreement"), between Vicinity Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Rights
Agent"), to purchase from the Company at any time after the Distribution Date (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) and prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on
August 9, 2012 at the office of the Rights Agent, or at the office of its successor as Rights Agent, one one-hundredth of a fully paid non-assessable share of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Shares"), of the Company, at a purchase price of
                        Dollars ($            ) per one one-hundredth
(1/100) of a Preferred Share (the "Purchase Price"), upon presentation and
surrender of this Right Certificate with the Certification and the Form of Election to Purchase duly executed. The number of Rights evidenced by this Right Certificate (and the number of one
one-hundredths of a Preferred Share that may be purchased upon exercise hereof) set forth above, and the Purchase Price set forth above, are the number and Purchase Price as of
                        , based on the Preferred Shares as constituted at such date. As provided in the Rights Agreement, the
Purchase Price and the number of one one-hundredths of a Preferred
Share that may be purchased upon the exercise of the Rights evidenced by this Right Certificate are subject to modification and adjustment upon the happening of certain events. 

        This
Right Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Rights Agreement, which terms, provisions and conditions are hereby incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof and to which Rights Agreement reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities hereunder of the
Rights Agent, the Company and the holders of the Right Certificates. Copies of the Rights Agreement are on file at the principal executive offices of the Company and the above-mentioned offices of the
Rights Agent. 

        This
Right Certificate, with or without other Right Certificates, upon surrender at the principal office of the Rights Agent, may be exchanged for another Right Certificate or Right
Certificates of like tenor and date evidencing Rights entitling the holder to purchase a like aggregate number of Preferred Shares as the Rights evidenced by the Right Certificate or Right
Certificates surrendered shall have entitled such holder to purchase. If this Right Certificate shall be exercised in part, the holder shall be entitled to receive upon surrender hereof another Right
Certificate or Right Certificates for the number of whole Rights not exercised. 

        Subject
to the provisions of the Rights Agreement, the Rights evidenced by this Certificate (i) may be redeemed by the Company at a redemption price of $0.001 per Right or
(ii) may be exchanged in whole or in part for Preferred Shares or shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.

        No
fractional Preferred Shares will be issued upon the exercise of any Right or Rights evidenced hereby (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-hundredth
of a Preferred Share, which may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depository receipts), but in lieu thereof a cash payment will be made, as provided in the Rights Agreement. 

        No
holder of this Right Certificate shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Preferred Shares or of any other securities of the
Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof, nor shall anything contained in the Rights Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the
rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in the Rights Agreement), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise,
until the Right or Rights evidenced by this Right Certificate shall have been exercised as provided in the Rights Agreement. 

        This
Right Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Rights Agent.
