Securities  at  any  time,  unless such Transfer complies with Article 2 of this
Agreement.

hereof  and  (y)  the  date  of  consummation  of  an IPO (as defined below), no
Stockholder  may  Transfer  all,  or any part of, or interest in, the Securities
held  by it at any time other than to a Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder
(including  transferees pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof) (provided, however, that
these  restrictions  shall  not  apply  to:  (i)  any  transfer  by  Murdock
Communications Corporation of some or all of its Series A Preferred Stock in any
private placement transaction that is consummated prior to May 29, 2000; or (ii)

sentence  unless  the Permitted Transferee (except in any instance in which such
Permitted  Transferee  is  the Company) shall have executed and delivered to the
Company,  as  a  condition  to  its  acquisition  of

                                        5
<PAGE>
such  Securities, an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the  Company confirming that such Permitted Transferee takes such Securities, or
interest  therein,  subject  to,  and  agrees  to  be  bound  by, all the terms,
conditions  and  obligations of this Agreement.  No Transfer shall be made other
than  in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
all  applicable state securities or "blue sky laws" or pursuant to any exemption
from  registration  under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities
laws  or  "blue  sky  laws."  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing provisions of this
section  2.1(b),  the  restrictions  imposed  by  this  section  2.1(b) upon the
transferability of any Securities shall terminate when such Securities have been
registered under the Securities Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance
with  such  registration  or  sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
(after  receipt  by  the  Company  of  a  legal  opinion from counsel reasonably
satisfactory  to  the  Company  that such transfer is permitted).  In connection
with  the  termination of restrictions on transferability of Securities provided
for  hereunder,  the  holder of a certificate representing such Securities as to
which  such restrictions shall have terminated shall be entitled to receive from
the  Company,  upon  surrender to the Company of the Certificate(s) representing
such  Securities,  one  or more new certificates for such Securities not bearing

Securities  (other  than pursuant to a registration of such Securities under the
Registration  Rights Agreement), the holder thereof shall give written notice to
the  Company  of  its intention to effect such transfer.  Each such notice shall
describe  the  manner  of the proposed transfer and, if requested by the Company
(only  in  the case of Transfers other than to a Permitted Transferee), shall be
accompanied  by  an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to
the  effect  that (i) the proposed transfer of the Common Shares may be effected
without registration under the Securities Act; and (ii) the proposed transfer of
the  Common  Shares  complies  with  the  limitations  on transfers set forth in
Article  2  of  this  Agreement.

          (c)     The  rights  granted  to each Stockholder under this Article 2
shall  inure  to  the  benefit of any of its respective Permitted Transferees as
though  such  Permitted  Transferee  were  the  same  type of stockholder as the
Transferor;  provided, however, that such Permitted Transferee shall be required
to comply with all applicable provisions of this Article 2 to the same extent as
the  Transferor  Stockholder.

portion  of  the  assets thereof by the Company by merger, purchase of assets or
otherwise  or  in  a  transaction governed by Rule 145 under the Securities Act;
(iii)  securities  issued on conversion of any outstanding securities (including
the Series E Preferred Shares or outstanding rights to acquire Securities); (iv)
securities  issued  in  connection with the purchase or acquisition of equipment
from  third party vendors and approved by the Board of Directors; (v) securities
issued  pursuant to a public offering of securities of the Company (including an

New  Securities,  it  shall  give  the  Holders  of the Series E Preferred Stock
written  notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and the
price  and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same.  Each Holder
of  Series  E  Preferred  Stock  shall  have  fifteen (15) days from the date of
receipt  of  any  such notice to agree to purchase up to its respective pro rata
share  of  such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the
notice  by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity
of  New  Securities  to  be  purchased.

          (d)     In  the event a Holder fails to exercise such preemptive right
within  said  fifteen-day period (each such Holder a "Non-Electing Holder"), the
Company  shall  give  the  Holders that have elected to exercise such preemptive
right  within  said  thirty-day  period  (each such Holder an "Electing Holder")
written  notice of each Non-Electing Holder's failure to exercise its preemptive
right to purchase its pro rata share of the New Securities (such securities, the
"Additional  New  Securities").  Each  Electing  Holder shall have ten (10) days
from  the  date of receipt of any such notice to elect to purchase up to its pro
rata  share  of  the  Additional  New Securities by giving written notice to the
Company and stating therein the quantity of such New Securities to be purchased.

          (e)     In  the  event  any  Electing  Holder  fails  to  exercise its
preemptive  rights  pursuant  to  section  2.2(d),  or  in  the event no Holders
exercise their respective preemptive rights, within said twenty-five-day period,
the  Company shall have (120) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement
(pursuant  to  which  the  sale  of such New Securities covered thereby shall be
closed,  if  at  all,  within (60) days from the date of said agreement) to sell
such New Securities not elected to be purchased by Holders at the price and upon
the  terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified
in  the  Company's  notice.  In  the  event  the  Company  has not sold such New
Securities  or  entered  into an agreement to sell the Additional New Securities
within said twenty-five day period (or sold and issued Additional New Securities
in  accordance  with  the  foregoing  within  60  days  from  the  date  of said
agreement),  the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell such New Securities,
without  first  offering  such securities in the manner provided in this section
7.2.

          (f)     The  preemptive  rights  granted  under this section 2.2 shall
expire  upon  the  earliest  of:  (A) the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock
into  Common  Stock;  (B)  the  closing  of (and shall not apply to) a bona fide
underwritten  initial public offering; and (C) the date on which the Holders and

whole  number)  of:  (i)  the  quotient determined by dividing [A] the aggregate
number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  owned  by  such  Co-Sale Seller on an "as
converted  basis" by [B] the aggregate number of Common Stock beneficially owned

execute  and  deliver  a  custody  agreement  and  power of attorney in form and
substance  satisfactory  to the Selling Stockholder which is to sell such Common
Stock  or  other  securities of such Stockholder or Permitted Transferee thereof
pursuant  hereto.  Such  custody  agreement  and power of attorney will provide,
among  other  things,  that  such  Stockholder  and/or Permitted Transferee will
deliver  to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named
therein  a  certificate  or  certificates  representing  such Common Stock (duly
endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof) or other securities
and  irrevocably  appoint  such  custodian and attorney-in-fact as his agent and
attorney-in-fact  with  full  power  and  authority  to  act  under such custody
agreement  and  power  of  attorney  on  his  behalf with respect to the matters
specified  therein.

registration  statement  under  the  Securities  Act (other than Form S-8 or any
successor  or  similar  form)  (an  "IPO"):  (i)  the  Board of Directors of the
Company  (the  "Board")  shall  consist  of seven (7) members; (ii) stockholders
shall  have the right to nominate directors as set forth below; (iii) subject to
section  3.4(g),  all  Stockholders  shall  comply  with  the provisions of this

          (b)     Nominees for election to the Board pursuant to Sections 3.1(c)
and (d) will be chosen by majority vote of the persons or group entitled to make
such  nomination  under  this  Agreement that continue to own Securities on such

          (c)     Prior  to  the  earlier  of  (i) the date on which the Company
consummates an IPO and (ii) the date on which the holders of Common Stock on the
date  hereof and their Permitted Transferees no longer beneficially own (as such
term  is defined in the Exchange Act) at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock
held  by such holders of Common Stock on the date hereof (after giving effect to
any  Recapitalization  Events), the Common Stockholders on the date hereof shall
have  the  right  to  designated  one (1) individual to be director (the "Common
Stock  Director").

          (d)     Prior to the date on which the Company consummates a Qualified
Public  Offering,  the  Series E Investors shall have the right to nominate four
(4)  individuals  to  be  directors  (each,  a "Series E Director") with Sandler
Capital Management and its Affiliates (collectively, "Sandler") having the right
to  designate  two (2) of the four directors and DB Capital Partners, SBIC, L.P.
and  its Affiliates (collectively, "DBCP") having the right to designate two (2)
of  the  four  directors.

     Notwithstanding  anything  herein to the contrary, if all of the conditions
to  the  Second  Closing Date and the Third Closing Date, as the case may be (as
defined  in  the Stock Purchase Agreement) have been satisfied and if Sandler or
DBCP,  as  the case may be, fails to perform any funding obligations to purchase
the  Series  E  Preferred Stock at the Second Closing Date and the Third Closing
Date,  as  the  case  may be, Sandler or DBCP, as the case may be, will lose the
right  to  designate  one  director.

          (e)     Prior  to  the  date  of  consummation of an IPO, by unanimous
written consent, the Common Stock Director and Series E Directors shall have the
right  to  nominate  one  (1)  individual  to  be  director  (the  "Independent

the  Series  E  Investors.

          (h)     Following  the  date  on  which  the  Company  consummates  a
Qualified  Public  Offering  and until such date as Sandler or DBCP, as the case
may  be,  no  longer  own  at  least  2.5%  of  the  shares of Common Stock then
outstanding  or  25% of the Common Stock (through the conversion of the Series E
Preferred  Stock)  originally  purchased by Sandler or DBCP, as the case may be,
under  the  Stock  Purchase  Agreement,  (x) each Stockholder agrees to vote the
shares  of  Common  Stock  owned  of  record by them in favor of one nominee for
director named by Sandler and one nominee for director named by DBCP and (y) the
Company  shall, subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors, cause
each director named by Sandler and DBCP to be nominated for election.  Following
the  date  on which the Company consummates an IPO and until the earlier of such
date  as:  (i)  the  consummation  of  a Qualified Public Offering; and (ii) the
Common Stockholders no longer own at least 25% of the aggregate shares of Common
Stock  held by them as of the date hereof, (x) the Series E Investors each agree
to  vote  the shares of Common Stock owned of record by them in favor of each of
the Independent Director, the CEO Director and the Common Stock Director and (y)
the  Company  shall,  subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors,
cause  each  such  director  to  be  nominated  for  election.

          (i)     Upon a Transfer by Sandler or DBCP, as the case may be, of 50%
or  more  of  their respective shares of Series E Preferred Stock (or underlying
shares  of  Common  Stock), the transferee in such Transfer shall be entitled to
exercise  all  of  Sandler's  or  DBCP's,  as the case may, director designation
rights  under  this  section  3.1.

     SECTION  3.2  Removal.  Each  director  nominated  as  aforesaid  by  any
                   -------
Stockholder  or  group  of  Stockholders  and duly elected to the Board shall be
subject  to  removal  only  at  the  request  of  the  Stockholder  or  group of
Stockholders  which  nominated  or  designated  such  director.

     SECTION  3.3  Election  of Directors.  Prior to the date of consummation of
                   ----------------------
an IPO (or a Qualified Public Offering, in the case of Board nominees designated
by  Series  E  Investors),  each  Stockholder  shall  vote  all of its shares of
Securities,  as  applicable,  for  the  election  (or  removal)  of the nominees
designated  as  provided in sections 3.1(c), (d), (e) and (f) hereof and, in the
event  of a vacancy in the Board created by the death, resignation or removal of
a director, shall vote its shares of Securities, as applicable, for the election
of  a nominee to be designated by the Stockholder or group of Stockholders which
nominated or designated such director (unless such vacancy has resulted from the
termination  of the power of such group to nominate such director, in which case
the  replacement  nominee may be designated by the Board).  Prior to the date of
consummation  of  an  IPO  (or a Qualified Public Offering, in the case of Board
nominees  designated  by Series E Investors), the Company shall take such lawful
action  as  shall  be reasonably required in order to facilitate the nomination,
removal  and  election  of  directors  as  aforesaid.

two (2) consecutive meetings without just cause, such refusal shall constitute a
"De  Factor"  Boycott);

which  a  quorum  is  initially  present  may  continue  to  transact  business,
notwithstanding  the withdrawal of Directors, if any action taken is approved by
a  majority  of  the  required  quorum  for  such  meeting;

          (e)     the  Board  may  designate  one or more committees, including,
without  limitation, an Executive Committee, to have and exercise such power and
authority  as  the  Board  shall  specify, provided that each Person or group of
Persons that then has a right to designate directors of the Company as set forth
above  shall  also  have  the  right  to  designate  a number of members to such
Committee  in  the  same  portion as the number of directors that such Person or
group  of  Persons  may  then  designate  as  compared  to the size of the board
(provided  that  if  such  Person  or  group  of  Persons  then has the right to
designate  at least one director, such Person or group of Persons shall have the
right  to  designate  at  least  one  member  of  each  such  committee);

          (f)     the following actions shall not be taken by the Company or any

                                       14
<PAGE>
               (ii)     enter  into  any  agreement  for  obtaining  credit  or
financing  from  a third party lender permitting aggregate borrowings thereunder
of  $100  million  or  more,

               (iii)     enter  into a merger, recapitalization, reorganization,
consolidation  or  similar  transaction  with  another  Person  (other  than
transactions  involving  solely  the  Company  and/or  one  or  more  of  its
Subsidiaries),  enter into a plan or arrangement of reorganization, liquidate or
dissolve,  or  sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of
the  Company  as  its  Subsidiaries,  taken  as  a  whole,

material  Subsidiary  or  appoint  the  members of the Board of Directors of any
material  Subsidiary,

               (v)     engage in any transactions between the Corporation or any
Subsidiary,  on  the  one hand, and any Stockholder or Affiliate thereof, on the
other  hand  (with respect to any such transaction, the approval of at least two

also  have  been  obtained),

               (vi)     amend  its  articles  or  by-laws;

               (vii)     create  any  non-wholly owned Subsidiaries, or transfer
or sell any stock of a Subsidiary other than to a wholly owned Subsidiary of the
Company  or  to  the  Company;  or

               (viii)     expenditures  by  the  Company, individually or in the
aggregate,  of  more  than  $1,000,000.

          (g)     if  required,  each  Stockholder will vote its Securities in a
manner to effect the decisions of the Board of Directors in accordance with this
Section  3.4, unless such Stockholder reasonably determines in good faith, based
on  advice of counsel, that such action would violate its fiduciary duties under
applicable  law.

          (h)     until  the  earlier  of  the  Third Closing Date and the Third
Closing  Termination  Date, the Board shall meet at least monthly and thereafter
the  Board  shall  meet  at  least  quarterly.

     Nothing  in  Section 3.4(f) shall be construed as preventing the holders of
Series  E  Preferred Stock from selling their shares of Series E Preferred Stock
at any time after the earlier of the consummation of an IPO and three years from
the

                                       15

date  hereof, if a five-member majority of the Board of Directors of the Company
(including the approval of one of the CEO Director, the Common Stock Director or
the Independent Director) has failed to approve a Transaction involving a Change
of  Control (as defined in the Restated Articles) so long as such holders comply
