among the undersigned stockholders (the "Stockholders") of PeoplePC Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and SOFTBANK Capital Partners LP
("SOFTBANK Capital"). Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms
that are used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned
to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

         WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the
Company and SOFTBANK Capital have entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Stock Purchase Agreement"), providing for, among other things, the sale by the
Company and the purchase by SOFTBANK Capital and certain affiliated or
designated investors of an aggregate of 6,400,000 shares of the Company's Series
B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Series B Stock").

         WHEREAS, the Stock Purchase Agreement contemplates that within 30
calendar days of the consummation of the sale and purchase of the shares of
Series B Stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement the Company will file a proxy
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to,
and the Stock Purchase Agreement provides that the board of directors of the
Company (the "Board") will call, a special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of
the stockholders of the Company at which such special meeting the Board will
submit to such stockholders a proposal that such stockholders authorize and
approve (i) the issuance (the "Issuance") of shares of the Company's Common
Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), upon the conversion of
shares of the Series B Stock and (ii) an amendment to the Company's 2000 Stock
Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
thereunder by a certain number of shares that, when added to the shares
currently reserved for issuance thereunder, shall equal 20% of the sum of (A)
the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following
the Closing Date, (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance upon the exercise of options or other rights to purchase shares of
Common Stock that are outstanding as of the Closing, and (C) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock
(the exact number of shares to be determined prior to the filing of the proxy
statement with the SEC) (the "Stock Plan Amendment"); and

         WHEREAS, as an inducement to SOFTBANK Capital's willingness to enter
into the Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the
Stockholders wish to agree (i) to deliver to SOFTBANK Capital an irrevocable
proxy to Vote (as defined in Section 2 hereof) the Shares (as defined in Section
1 hereof) and any other such shares of capital stock of the Company so as to
authorize and approve the Issuance and the Stock Plan Amendment and (ii) not to
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares, or any other shares of
capital stock of the Company acquired hereafter and prior to the Special
Meeting.

<PAGE>

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
sufficiency and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         1. Representations of Stockholders. Each of the Stockholders represents
and warrants to SOFTBANK Capital that (a) such Stockholder lawfully owns
beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) and of record each of the shares
of Common Stock set forth opposite such Stockholder's name on Exhibit A hereto
(such Stockholder's "Shares") free and clear of all liens, claims, charges,
security interests or other encumbrances and, except for this Agreement and the
Stock Purchase Agreement, there are no options, warrants or other rights,
agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which such
Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or Voting of any
shares of capital stock of the Company and there are no Voting trusts or Voting
agreements with respect to such Shares, except as disclosed on Exhibit A hereto,
(b) such Stockholder does not beneficially own (as such term is used in Rule
13d-3 of the Exchange Act) any shares of Common Stock other than such Shares and
does not have any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional
shares of capital stock of the Company or any security exercisable for or
convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company, (c) such Stockholder
has full power and authority and has taken all actions necessary to enter into,
execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully such Stockholder's
obligations hereunder, (d) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder
enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms (except as may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar laws of general application which may affect the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles), (e) other than
filings under the Exchange Act, no notices, reports or other filings are
required to be made by such Stockholder with, nor are any consents,
registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by
such Stockholder from, any court, tribunal, governmental agency or authority, in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
Stockholder, and (f) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by such Stockholder does not, and the consummation by such Stockholder of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate, conflict with or constitute
a breach of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of
such Stockholder or any or their comparable governing instruments.

         2. Voting Agreement.

              (a) Each of the Stockholders agrees to Vote such Stockholder's
Shares (i) in favor of authorization and approval of the Issuance and the Stock
Plan Amendment at the Special Meeting at which such matters are considered and
at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and (ii) against any action or
agreement that would compete with, impede, interfere with or tend to discourage
the Issuance or inhibit the timely consummation thereof. Each of the
Stockholders further agrees, at SOFTBANK Capital's request, to deliver to
SOFTBANK Capital an irrevocable proxy substantially in the form of

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Exhibit B hereto (each, a "Proxy"). The Proxy shall be irrevocable during the
term of this Agreement to the extent permitted under Delaware law. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Vote" shall include voting in person or by proxy in favor of
or against any action, otherwise consenting or withholding consent in respect of
any action or taking other action in favor of or against any action. "Voting"
shall have a correlative meaning.

              (b) SOFTBANK Capital and, if applicable, its designees agree to
Vote such Stockholder's Shares subject to any Proxy, as well as any shares of
capital stock beneficially owned by SOFTBANK Capital (to the extent such shares
of capital stock have the right to Vote at the Special Meeting) (i) in favor of
authorization and approval of the Issuance and the Stock Plan Amendment at the
Special Meeting at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or
postponement thereof, and (ii) against any action or agreement that would
compete with, impede, interfere with or tend to discourage the Issuance and the
Stock Plan Amendment or inhibit the timely consummation thereof.

         3. No Voting Trusts. Each of the Stockholders agrees that it will not,
nor will it permit any entity under its control to, deposit any of its Shares or
New Shares (as defined in Section 7 hereof) in a Voting trust or subject any of
its Shares or New Shares to any arrangement with respect to the Voting of such
Shares or New Shares other than agreements entered into with SOFTBANK Capital.

         4. No Proxy Solicitations. Each of the Stockholders agrees that such
Stockholder will not, nor will such Stockholder permit any entity under such
Stockholder's control, (a) to solicit proxies or become a "participant" in a
"solicitation" (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange
Act) in opposition to or in competition with the consummation of authorization
and approval of the Issuance and the Stock Plan Amendment by the stockholders of
the Company or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any
action which would compete with, impede, interfere with or tend to discourage
such authorization and approval of the Issuance or inhibit the timely
consummation of such authorization and approval of the Issuance in accordance
with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, (b) to directly or indirectly
encourage, initiate or cooperate in a stockholders' Vote or action by consent of
the Company's stockholders in opposition to or in competition with the
consummation of such authorization and approval of the Issuance and the Stock
Plan Amendment, or (c) to become a member of a "group" (as such term is used in
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the
Company for the purpose of opposing or competing with the consummation of such
authorization and approval of the Issuance and the Stock Plan Amendment;
provided, that the foregoing shall not restrict any director of the Company from
taking any action in such director's capacity as such, that such director
reasonably believes after consultation with legal counsel is necessary to
satisfy such director's fiduciary duty to stockholders of the Company.

         5. No Limitation on Discretion as Director. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to apply to, or to limit in any manner, the discretion of any of
the Stockholders with respect to any action to be taken (or omitted) by such
Stockholder in the Stockholder's fiduciary capacity as a director or officer of
the Company; provided,

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

however, it is agreed and understood by the parties to this Agreement that the
obligations, covenants and agreements of such Stockholder contained in this
Agreement are separate and apart from the Stockholder's fiduciary duties as a
director or officer of the Company and no fiduciary obligations that Stockholder
may have as a director or officer of the Company shall countermand the
obligations, covenants and agreements of Stockholder, in his capacity as a
stockholder of the Company, contained in this Agreement.

         6. Transfer and Encumbrance. On or after the date hereof and during the
term of this Agreement, each of the Stockholders agrees not to transfer, sell,
offer, exchange, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of such
Stockholder's Shares or New Shares (as defined in Section 7).

         7. Additional Purchases. Each of the Stockholders agrees that such
Stockholder will not purchase or otherwise acquire beneficial ownership (as such
term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of any shares of Common Stock
after the execution of this Agreement ("New Shares"), nor will any Stockholder
voluntarily acquire the right to Vote or share in the Voting of any shares of
Common Stock other than the Shares, unless such Stockholder votes such shares as
provided in Section 2 and agrees to deliver to SOFTBANK Capital immediately
after such purchase or acquisition an irrevocable proxy substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B with respect to such New Shares. Each of the
Stockholders also severally agrees that any New Shares acquired or purchased by
him or her shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as
if they constituted Shares.

         8. Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that it will be
impossible to measure in money the damage to the other party if a party hereto
fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that
every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure,
the other party will not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly,
each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in
addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such
failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that the
other party has an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto agrees that it will
not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a
bond in connection with any other party's seeking or obtaining such equitable
relief.

         9. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement (including the
exhibits hereto) supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof
may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by all the
parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed
a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such
waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

                                  FORM OF PROXY

         The undersigned, for consideration received, hereby appoints [insert
names of SOFTBANK Capital designees] and each of them the undersigned's proxies,
with power of substitution and resubstitution, (i) to vote all shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of PeoplePC Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), owned by the undersigned (the "Shares") as of the date hereof at the
special meeting of the holders of Common Stock of the Company to be held as soon
as practicable after the date hereof and at any adjournment or postponement
thereof FOR authorization and approval of (A) the issuance (the "Issuance") of
shares of the Company's Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of the
Company's Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (B) and
(ii) an amendment to the Company's 2000 Stock Plan to increase the number of
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder by a certain number of
shares that, when added to the shares currently reserved for issuance
thereunder, shall equal 20% of the sum of (A) the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the Closing Date, (B)
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of options or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock that are
outstanding as of the Closing, and (C) the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Stock (the exact number of shares
to be determined prior to the filing of the proxy statement with the SEC) (the
"Stock Plan Amendment") and AGAINST any action or agreement that would compete
with, impede, interfere with or tend to discourage such authorization and
approval of the Issuance or Stock Plan Amendment or inhibit the timely
consummation of such authorization and approval of the Issuance or Stock Plan
Amendment, and (ii) to withhold consents with respect to such Shares for any
action or agreement that would compete with, impede, interfere with or tend to
discourage such authorization and approval of the Issuance or Stock Plan
Amendment or inhibit the timely consummation of the authorization and approval
of the Issuance or Stock Plan Amendment. This proxy is coupled with an interest,
revokes all prior proxies granted by the undersigned and is irrevocable until

stockholders of the Company, including the undersigned, and SOFTBANK Capital,
terminates in accordance with its terms.

                                  REGISTRATION

         2.1 SHELF REGISTRATION.

         (a) Filing.  No later than 30 calendar days following the Closing,  the
Company shall file with the SEC a  Registration  Statement  pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act (the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT") covering the offer
and sale of the  Registrable  Securities  by the  Holders  from  time to time in
accordance  with the  methods of  distribution  elected by such  Holders and set
forth in the Shelf Registration  Statement and,  thereafter,  shall use its best
efforts to cause such Shelf  Registration  Statement  to be  declared  effective
under the  Securities  Act no later than 90 calendar days following the Closing,
or sooner, if practicable

         (b) Postponement of Registration.  Notwithstanding  Section 2.1(a), the
Company shall be entitled to postpone the  declaration of  effectiveness  of the
Shelf Registration  Statement for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess
of 60 days  after  the date the SEC has  informed  the  Company  that the  Shelf
Registration  Statement  will not be  reviewed  or that  the SEC has no  further
comments  with  regard  to the  Shelf  Registration  Statement,  if the board of
directors  of the  Company  (the  "BOARD"),  acting in good faith and  following
consultation   with  legal  counsel,   determines  that  there  exists  material
non-public  information  about the  Company  which  the  Board  does not wish to
disclose in a Registration Statement (due to the fact that such disclosure would
result in a  significant  adverse  impact on the  Company or its  stockholders),
which   information   would  otherwise  be  required  to  be  disclosed  in  any
Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company.

         (c) Continued  Effectiveness.  Subject to Sections 2.1(b), (d) and (f),
the Company shall use its best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously  effective  under  the  Securities  Act  in  order  to  permit  the
Prospectus  forming a part  thereof to be usable by  Holders  until such time as
there are no outstanding  Registrable  Securities (such period of effectiveness,
the "SHELF PERIOD").

         (d) Selling Procedures.  Any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Shelf Registration  Statement filed in accordance with Section 2.1(a) hereof
shall be subject to the following conditions and procedures:

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

              (i) The selling Holder shall provide written notice  ("STOCKHOLDER
NOTICE")  to the  Company  no less than three  full  trading  days prior to such
Holder's intended sale. Within the three trading-day period following receipt of
the Stockholder  Notice,  which notice shall include a working  facsimile number
for purposes of delivery of the Company's response, the Company shall either (A)
inform such Holder in writing if the Registration Statement and final prospectus
then on file with the SEC is current and otherwise  complies with the Securities
Act such that  sales  may be made  thereunder  or (B)  delay the  resale by such
Holder by delivering to such Holder a written  notification  that the Suspension
Right has been exercised and is then in effect (the "SUSPENSION NOTICE"). In the
event  that  the  selling  Holder  receives  notice  from the  Company  that the
Registration  Statement is current and complies  with the  Securities  Act, such
Holder shall then have 15 business days after the date of the intended  sale, as
specified in the Stockholder Notice, to sell the Registrable Securities proposed
to be sold. After such 15 day period, the selling Holder shall once again comply
with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.1(d) prior to any further sales.
In the event that a selling  Holder  receives a Suspension  Notice,  such Holder
shall  refrain from  selling any  Registrable  Securities  until his, her or its
receipt  of  a  supplemented  or  amended  prospectus  pursuant  to  Subsections
2.1(d)(ii) and  2.1(d)(iii)  below,  or written notice from the Company that the
suspension  period has ended and use of the prospectus  previously  furnished to
such  Holder  may  be  resumed.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  it  shall  be
understood  that a selling Holder who is an Affiliate of the Company as a result
of the fact that such  Holder has  appointed  a member of the Board (as  defined
below) shall not be required to deliver a Stockholder Notice and, rather,  shall
be permitted to provide prior oral notice in person  (including person to person
telephone  communications)  to the  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Chief
Financial  Officer or General Counsel (or the person performing the function and
duties  normally  associated  with such  positions)  in advance of such Holder's
sale, in which case, the Company shall be entitled to deliver an oral Suspension
Notice to such Affiliate.

              (ii) Subject to this  Section  2.1(d),  if the Shelf  Registration
Statement  or  final  prospectus  then on file  with the SEC is not  current  or
otherwise  does not  comply  with the  Securities  Act,  the  Company  shall use
commercially  reasonable  efforts  to provide  to the  selling  Holder a current
prospectus  that complies with the  Securities  Act on or before the date of the
intended  sale of the  Registrable  Securities  as disclosed in the  Stockholder
Notice;  provided,  however,  that if (A) the board of  directors of the Company
(the  "BOARD"),  acting in good  faith and  following  consultation  with  legal
counsel,  determines that there exists material nonpublic  information about the
Company  which the Board  does not wish to  disclose  in the Shelf  Registration
Statement  (due to the fact that such  disclosure  would result in a significant
adverse  impact on the  Company or its  stockholders)  which  information  would
otherwise be required by the Securities Act to be disclosed in the  Registration
Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2.1(a),  or (B) upon the occurrence of
any event described in clause (D) of Subsection 2.1(d)(iii) hereof, no more than
two times during any 12 month period,  the Company shall have the right to delay
the  preparation of a current  prospectus  that complies with the Securities Act
for up to 60 days on each occasion  without  explanation to such Holder (each, a
"SUSPENSION  RIGHT").  The Company shall be entitled to exercise its  Suspension
Right consecutively.

              (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall notify each
Holder (A) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state  governmental
authority during the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
for  amendments or supplements  to the Shelf

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Registration  Statement  or related  prospectus  or for  additional  information
relating to the Shelf Registration Statement,  (B) of the issuance by the SEC or
any other federal or state  governmental  authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Shelf  Registration  Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings  for  that  purpose,  (C)  of the  receipt  by  the  Company  of any
notification  with respect to the suspension of the  qualification  or exemption
from  qualification  of  any of  the  Registrable  Securities  for  sale  in any
jurisdiction  or the  initiation  or  threatening  of any  proceeding  for  such
purpose,  or (D) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in
the  Shelf  Registration   Statement  or  related  prospectus  or  any  document
incorporated  or deemed to be  incorporated  therein by reference  untrue in any
material  respect  or which  requires  the  making of any  changes  in the Shelf
Registration  Statement or prospectus  so that, in the case of the  Registration
Statement, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material  fact  required to be stated  therein or  necessary to make the
statements  therein not misleading,  and that in the case of the Prospectus,  it
will not  contain  an untrue  statement  of a  material  fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In any such event,
the Company may suspend use of the  prospectus on written notice to each Holder,
in which case each Holder shall not dispose of Registrable Securities covered by
the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus until copies of a supplemented or
amended  prospectus  are  distributed  to the  Holders or until the  Holders are
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable  prospectus may
be resumed. The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed as soon as practicable. The Company shall use its best
efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order  suspending the  effectiveness  of
the Shelf  Registration  Statement,  or the  lifting  of any  suspension  of the
qualification  (or exemption  from  qualification)  of any of the securities for
sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment. The Company shall,
upon  the  occurrence  of any  event  contemplated  by  clause  (D),  prepare  a
supplement or post-effective  amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a
supplement  to the related  Prospectus or any document  incorporated  therein by
reference or file any other required  document so that, as thereafter  delivered
to the purchasers of the  Registrable  Securities  being sold  thereunder,  such
Prospectus  will not contain an untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements  therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

              (e) Underwritten Offering. If the holders of not less than 66 2/3%
of the Registrable  Securities  included in any offering  pursuant to such Shelf
Registration  Statement so elect, such offering of Registrable  Securities shall
be in the form of an Underwritten  Offering, and the Company shall, from time to
time,  amend  (including,  to the  extent  required,  through  a  post-effective
amendment) or supplement the Shelf Registration  Statement for such purpose. The
Holders  of  a  majority  of  such  Registrable   Securities  included  in  such
Underwritten Offering shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or
underwriters  to  administer  such  offering;   provided,   that  such  managing
underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably  acceptable to the Company.  The
right of any Holder to include its Registrable  Securities in such  Underwritten
Offering  shall  be  conditioned  upon  such  Holder's   participation  in  such
underwriting  and the inclusion of such Holder's  Registrable  Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Holders proposing to distribute
their  securities  through such  underwriting  shall enter into an  underwriting
agreement in customary form with the  underwriter or  underwriters  selected for
such underwriting.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
in no event shall the aggregate  number of days pursuant to which: (i) the Shelf
Registration Statement may be postponed

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

pursuant  to  Section  2.1(b)  hereto,  (ii) a  Holder's  sales  of  Registrable
Securities  may be  suspended  pursuant  to Section  2.1(d)(i)  hereto,  (iii) a
Holder's  sales of  Registrable  Securities  may be delayed  pursuant to Section
2.1(d)(ii) hereto;  and (iv) the Shelf  Registration  Statement may be suspended
pursuant  to Section  2.1(f)  hereto,  exceed 120 days in any twelve  (12) month
period.

              (f) Piggyback  Rights.  If, at any time,  the Company  proposes to
register  any of its  Common  Stock or any  other  equity  securities  under the
Securities Act on a Registration Statement on Form S-1, Form S-2 or Form S-3 (or
an  equivalent  general  registration  form then in effect)  for  purposes of an
offering  or sale by or on behalf of the  Company  of its  Common  Stock or such
equity  securities for its own account (a "Primary  Offering"),  the Company may
suspend the use of the Shelf  Registration  Statement for no more than 120 days;
provided, that if the Company exercises its right pursuant to the foregoing, the
Company shall afford the Holders the  opportunity to register their  Registrable
Securities on the  Registration  Statement for the Primary Offering on terms and
conditions no less  favorable to the Holders than those set forth in Section 2.4
of the Second Amended and Restated  Investor Rights  Agreement,  dated as of May
30, 2001, by and among the Company and the Investors (as defined therein).

         2.2 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses shall be borne
by the Company.  All Selling  Expenses,  in any, incurred in connection with any
registrations  hereunder,  shall be borne by the  Holders of the  securities  so
registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.

         2.3 OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

              Subject  to the  limitations  of  Sections  2.1 and 2.9,  whenever
required to effect the  registration  of or maintain  the  effectiveness  of the
Shelf Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities,  the Company shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

              (a) Prepare and file with the SEC such  amendments and supplements
to such  Registration  Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with such
Registration  Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement for the period set forth in Section 2.1 above.

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

              (c)  Use its  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to  register  and
qualify the securities  covered by such registration  statement under such other
securities  or blue  sky  laws of such  jurisdictions  as  shall  be  reasonably
requested  by the  Holders;  provided,  however,  that the Company  shall not be
required in  connection  therewith  or as a  condition  thereto to qualify to do
business  or to file a general  consent to service of process in any such states
or jurisdictions.

              (d) In the  event of any  Underwritten  Offering,  enter  into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting  agreement, in usual and customary
form,  with  the  managing

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

underwriter(s) of such offering.  Each Holder participating in such underwriting
shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

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

              (f) Use its  commercially  reasonable  efforts to furnish,  on the
date that such  Registrable  Securities  are delivered to the  underwriters  for
sale, if such  securities are being sold through  underwriters,  (i) an opinion,
dated as of such date, of the counsel  representing the Company for the purposes
of  such  registration,  in  form  and  substance  as is  customarily  given  to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering,  addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and (ii) a letter dated as of such date, from the independent  certified
public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given
by independent  certified public  accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering addressed to the underwriters, if any.

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

         2.4 FURNISHING  INFORMATION.  It shall be a condition  precedent to the
obligations of the Company to register Registrable Securities held by any Holder
that such selling Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
such Holder,  the  Registrable  Securities  held by such Holder and the intended
method of disposition  of such  securities and shall take all such action as may
be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

         2.5 INDEMNIFICATION.

              (a) To the extent  permitted by law, the Company  shall  indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder and any  underwriter (as defined in the Securities
Act) for such Holder against any losses, claims,  damages, or liabilities (joint
or several)  to which they may become  subject  under the  Securities  Act,  the
Exchange  Act or other  federal or state law,  insofar as such  losses,  claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any of the following  statements,  omissions or violations  (collectively a
"VIOLATION")  by the  Company:  (i)  any  untrue  statement  or  alleged  untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any  Registration  Statement  filed as
set forth in this  Agreement,  including  any  preliminary  prospectus  or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto,  (ii) the
omission or alleged  omission to state  therein a material  fact  required to be
stated therein,  or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,  or
(iii) any violation or alleged  violation by the Company of the Securities  Act,
the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the  Securities  Act,  the  Exchange  Act or any state  securities  law in
connection with the offering  covered by such  registration  statement;  and the
Company will pay as reasonably  incurred to each such Holder or underwriter  any
legal  or  other  expenses  reasonably  incurred  by  them  in  connection  with
investigating or defending any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability or action;
provided, however,

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,  liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably  withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such
case for any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or action (i) to the extent
that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon
and in  conformity  with  written  information  furnished  expressly  for use in
connection  with such  registration by such Holder or underwriter of such Holder
or (ii) with  respect to any  preliminary  prospectus  to the extent  such loss,
claim,  damage,  liability  or  action  results  from the fact  that  Holder  or
underwriter sold  Registrable  Securities to a person to whom there was not sent
or given,  at or prior to the written  confirmation  of such sale, a copy of the
final  prospectus  (excluding  documents  incorporated by reference) in any case
where such  delivery  is  required  by the  Securities  Act if the  Company  has
previously  furnished  copies  thereof to such Holder or underwriter on a timely
basis,  and the loss,  claim,  damage or liability of such Holder or underwriter
results from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the
preliminary prospectus which was corrected in the final prospectus.

              (b)  To  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  each  Holder  will,  if
Registrable  Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to
which  such  registration   qualifications  or  compliance  is  being  effected,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company,  any  underwriter  and any other Holder
selling securities under such registration statement against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities  (joint or several) to which the Company,  underwriter or
other such Holder may become subject under the Securities  Act, the Exchange Act
or other  federal  or state  law,  insofar as such  losses,  claims,  damages or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereto) arise out of or are based upon any
Violation,  in each  case to the  extent  (and  only to the  extent)  that  such
Violation  occurs in reliance  upon and in conformity  with written  information
furnished  by such Holder to be  specifically  for use in  connection  with such
registration;  and each such Holder will pay as reasonably incurred any legal or
other expenses reasonably  incurred by the Company,  underwriter or other Holder
in connection  with  investigating  or defending any such loss,  claim,  damage,
liability  or  action  if it is  judicially  determined  that  there  was such a
Violation;  provided,  however,  that the indemnity  agreement contained in this
Section  2.5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in  settlement of any such loss,
claim,  damage,  liability or action if such settlement is effected  without the
consent  of the  Holder,  which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld;
provided  further,  that in no event shall any indemnity  under this Section 2.5
exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

              (c)  Promptly  after  receipt by an  indemnified  party under this
Section  2.5  of  notice  of  the  commencement  of any  action  (including  any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying  party under this Section 2.5, deliver to
the  indemnifying  party a written  notice of the  commencement  thereof and the
indemnifying  party shall have the right to  participate  in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying  party so desires,  jointly with any other  indemnifying  party
similarly  noticed,   to  assume  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  mutually
satisfactory to the indemnified party;  provided,  however,  that an indemnified
party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the  indemnifying  party, if  representation  of such  indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the  indemnifying  party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential  differing  interests  between such indemnified party
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying  party within a reasonable time of
the commencement of

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
shall relieve such indemnifying  party of any liability to the indemnified party
under this Section 2.5,  but the  omission so to deliver  written  notice to the
indemnifying  party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.5.

              (d) If the  indemnification  provided  for in this  Section 2.5 is
held by a court of competent  jurisdiction  to be  unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any losses,  claims,  damages or  liabilities  referred to
herein,  the indemnifying  party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder,  shall to the extent  permitted by applicable  law contribute to the
amount  paid or  payable  by such  indemnified  party as a result of such  loss,
claim,  damage or liability in such  proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying  party on the one hand and of the indemnified
party on the other in  connection  with the  Violation(s)  that resulted in such
loss,  claim,  damage  or  liability,  as well as any other  relevant  equitable
considerations.  The  relative  fault  of  the  indemnifying  party  and  of the
indemnified  party shall be  determined by a court of law by reference to, among
other things,  whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information  supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge,  access to  information  and  opportunity  to correct or prevent such
statement  or  omission;   provided,   however,  that  in  no  event  shall  any
contribution  by a Holder  hereunder  exceed the net proceeds  from the offering
received by such Holder.

              (e) The  obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section
2.5 shall survive  completion of any offering of  Registrable  Securities in the
Shelf  Registration  Statement  and  the  termination  of  this  Agreement.   No
indemnifying  party,  in the  defense  of any such claim or  litigation,  shall,
except  with the  consent  of each  indemnified  party,  consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such  indemnified  party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

              (f) The  obligations  of the Company  under this Section 2.5 shall
extend,  upon the same  terms and  conditions,  to each  officer,  director  and
partner of each Holder and underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Holder  or  underwriter  within  the  meaning  of the  Securities  Act;  and the
obligations  of the Holders or  underwriters  contemplated  by this  Section 2.5
shall extend,  upon the same terms and conditions,  to each officer and director
of the Company  (including  any person who,  with his  consent,  is named in any
registration statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each
person,  if any, who controls the Company  within the meaning of the  Securities
Act.

         2.6 ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         The rights  pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a
transferee  or assignee of  Registrable  Securities  which (a) is a  subsidiary,
parent,  general partner,  limited partner,  retired partner,  member or retired
member  of a  Holder,  or is an  affiliate  or donee of such  Holder,  including
without  limitations,  any partnership or other entity of which any affiliate of
such  Holder is a general  partner  or over which  such  Holder  has  investment
discretion,  or any employee of any of the foregoing,  (b) is a Holder's  family
member or trust for the  benefit of an  individual  Holder,  or

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

(c)  acquires  at least ten  percent  (10%) of the  Registrable  Securities  (as
adjusted  for  stock  splits  and  combinations);  provided,  however,  (i)  the
transferor  shall,  within  ten (10) days after  such  transfer,  furnish to the
Company  written  notice of the name and address of such  transferee or assignee
and the  securities  with  respect to which such  registration  rights are being
assigned, (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set
forth in this Agreement and (iii) such transferee provides the Company with such
information as the Company may reasonably request.

         2.7 AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

         Any  provision  of this  Section 2 may be  amended  and the  observance
thereof may be waived (either  generally or in a particular  instance and either
retroactively  or  prospectively),  only with the written consent of the Company
and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
then outstanding;  provided,  however,  that if such amendment adversely affects
the Registrable Securities held by a non-consenting Holder in a manner different
than that of a consenting  Holder,  then such  amendment or waiver shall require
the consent of such adversely affected non-consenting party; provided,  further,
that any waiver or amendment  of this  Section 2.7 shall  require the consent of
all parties to this  Agreement.  Any amendment or waiver  effected in accordance
with this  Section  2.7 shall be binding  upon each Holder and the  Company.  By
acceptance  of any  benefits  under  this  Section  2,  Holders  of  Registrable
Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.

         2.8 RULE 144 REPORTING.

         With a view to making  available to the Holders the benefits of certain
rules and  regulations  of the SEC which may permit the sale of the  Registrable
Securities to the public  without  registration,  the Company  agrees to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to:

              (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood  and  defined  in SEC  Rule  144 or any  similar  or  analogous  rule
promulgated  under the Securities  Act, at all times after the effective date of
the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to
the general public;

              (b) File with the SEC, in a timely  manner,  all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

              (c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable  Securities,  furnish
to such Holder forthwith upon request:  a written statement by the Company as to
its  compliance  with  the  reporting  requirements  of  said  Rule  144  of the
Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject
to such reporting  requirements);  a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company to the extent such  reports are not  available  on the web
site maintained by the SEC; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may
reasonably  request  in  availing  itself of any rule or  regulation  of the SEC
allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

         2.9  TERMINATION.  The  registration  rights  set  forth  herein  shall
terminate  with  respect to a Holder (and the shares  held by such Holder  shall
cease  to  constitute  Registrable  Securities)  at  such

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

time as all of the  Registrable  Securities then held by such Holder can be sold
by such  Holder  in a  three-month  period  in  accordance  with Rule 144 of the
Securities Act.

                                    SECTION 3

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         3.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by
the laws of the State of Delaware  without  regard to  principles of conflict of
laws.

         3.2  SUCCESSORS  AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise  expressly  provided
herein, the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by
the  Investors or the Company  without the prior  written  consent of the other;
provided, however, that the Investors may assign their rights and delegate their
obligations hereunder,  in whole or in part, to any affiliates of the Investors,
including,  without  limitation,  any other partnership or other entity of which
any direct or indirect subsidiary of such Investor or any affiliate thereof is a
general  partner or has  investment  discretion,  or any employees of any of the
foregoing subject to applicable  securities laws;  provided,  further,  that any
such assignee that acquires any Shares shall,  as a condition to acquiring  such
Shares,  agree to be bound by the provisions of any agreement  applicable to the
Shares.  The provisions  hereof shall inure to the benefit of, be enforceable by
and be binding upon, the successors and permitted  assigns of the parties hereto
and each  person who shall be a Holder of  Registrable  Securities  from time to
time.

         3.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the Stock Purchase  Agreement
and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto,  including the Certificate of
Designations  of the  Company,  in the form  attached  as Exhibit B to the Stock
Purchase  Agreement  (the  "CERTIFICATE"),  and the  other  documents  delivered
pursuant  hereto and thereto  constitute the full and entire  understanding  and
agreement  between the parties  with  regard to the  subject  matter  hereof and
thereof.

         3.4  SEVERABILITY.  In case any  provision  of the  Agreement  shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable,  the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         3.5 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

              (a) This  Agreement  may be  amended  or  modified  only  upon the
written  consent  of the  Company  and  holders  of at least a  majority  of the
Registrable Securities as of the date of such amendment.

              (b) The  obligations  of the Company and the rights of the holders
of the Registrable  Securities  under this Agreement may be waived only with the
written  consent  of the  holders  of at  least a  majority  of the  Registrable
Securities as of the date of such waiver.

         3.6 DELAYS OR  OMISSIONS.  It is agreed  that no delay or  omission  to
exercise  any right,  power or remedy  accruing  to any Holder  upon any breach,
default or noncompliance by the Company under this Agreement, the Stock Purchase
Agreement or the Certificate shall impair any

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

such right,  power or remedy,  nor shall it be  construed  to be a waiver of any
such breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed
that any waiver,  permit,  consent or approval of any kind of  character  on any
Holder's part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement,  the
Stock Purchase  Agreement or the Certificate or any waiver on such Holder's part
of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement,  the Stock Purchase Agreement
or the Certificate  must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies,  under this Agreement, the
Stock Purchase Agreement or the Certificate, by law or otherwise afforded to any
Holder shall be cumulative and not alternative.

considered in construing this Agreement.

         3.9  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be  executed  in any number of

shall constitute one instrument.

         3.10  Expenses.  The  Company and each of the  Investors  shall pay all
costs and expenses  that it incurs with respect to the  negotiation,  execution,
