EXHIBIT 10.1

STOCKHOLDERS EXCHANGE AND

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This STOCKHOLDERS EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
September 16, 2004, by and among
Laureate Education, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and certain
of the former stockholders (the “Stockholders”) of Walden e-Learning, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Walden”).

RECITALS

     The Company, Laureate Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Merger Subsidiary”) and Walden have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of September 16, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for
the merger of Walden with and into the Merger Subsidiary (the “Merger”), with
the Merger Subsidiary surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders will acquire, among
other things, approximately 2.5 million shares of the common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”).

     An affiliate of the Stockholders has agreed that in consideration of the
registration rights, the representations, warranties and covenants of the
Company contained herein, subject to certain limitations, he shall not compete
with or solicit employees of the Company, all as described herein.

     In connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby,
counsel to the Company is issuing an opinion to the Stockholders in the form
set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

     This Agreement is being entered into as a condition precedent to the
closing of the Merger and the parties desire that the Shares be subject to the
rights described herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and representations set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree
as follows:

	1.	 	REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

     1.1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement, as in effect on the
date hereof. As used in this Agreement:

     (a) “Commission” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission
or any other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act
(as defined below).

     (b) The terms “register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in

 

 

compliance with the Securities Act and the declaration or ordering
of effectiveness of such registration statement or similar document by
the Commission.

     (c) “Registrable Securities” shall mean the Shares, as well as any
securities issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or
in exchange or in replacement of, the Shares or in connection with a
stock split, combinations of securities, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization with respect to the Shares.

     (d) “Securities Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any similar federal statute enacted hereafter, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, all as the same shall be in
effect from time to time.

     (e) “1934 Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

Statement”) under the Securities Act covering the resale from time to
time of all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act. The Company shall file the Registration Statement
promptly upon effectiveness of the Merger; provided, however, that in no
event shall such Registration Statement be filed later than one business
day after the date of the Merger. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared
effective as soon as practicable thereafter. Such Registration Statement
shall be made for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis
(a so-called “shelf registration statement”).

     (b) Registration Period. The Company shall keep the Registration
Statement effective until the earlier of such time as (i) all the
Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) the later of the time the
Registrable Securities are eligible to be sold without volume or other
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or two years
from the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, subject to any
extensions as set forth herein (the “Registration Period”).

     1.3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration of any
Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

     (a) Prepare and file with the Commission such pre-effective and
post-effective amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement
and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as
may be necessary to cause the Registration Statement to become effective,
to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective during the

or applicable under, and to comply with the provisions of, the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement during the Registration Period.

     (b) Furnish to the Stockholders such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereto, 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) Promptly notify the Stockholders (i) when a prospectus or any
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment is proposed to be filed
and, with respect to any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other
federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to
a Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional
information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) 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, and (v) of the occurrence of any
event or circumstance that makes any statement made in such Registration
Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement,
prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration
Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto, it will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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 any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

     (d) Make every reasonable effort to avoid the issuance of, or, if
issued, obtain the withdrawal of, any order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the
qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable
moment.

     (e) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.3(c),
as promptly as practicable, prepare and deliver to the Stockholders any
required supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment,
to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus
or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered, the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The Company will promptly deliver copies of such
revised prospectus to the Stockholders. Following receipt of the revised
prospectus, the Stockholders will be free to resume making offers of the
Registrable Securities. The Company will extend the period during which
the Registration Statement must be kept effective pursuant to this
Agreement by the number

- 3 -

 

of days during the period from and including the date of giving such
notice to and including the date when the Stockholders shall have
received copies of the revised prospectus.

     (f) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all
Registrable Securities registered by such Registration Statement to be
listed on the Nasdaq National Market or such other securities exchange or
automated quotation system, if any, on which similar securities issued by
the Company are then listed. The Company will provide and cause to be
maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement not later than the effective date
of such Registration Statement.

     (g) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be
registered or qualified under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such
states as the Stockholders shall reasonably request and do any and all
other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to enable the
Stockholders to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement in such
jurisdictions.

     (h) The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
comply with the Securities Act, the 1934 Act and any other applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its
securities holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earning
statement covering the period of at least 12 months after the effective
date of such Registration Statement, which earning statement shall
satisfy Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and any applicable
regulations thereunder, including Rule 158.

     (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Stockholders to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the
Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement
free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered
in such names as the Stockholders may request a reasonable period of time
prior to sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement.

     1.4. Obligation to Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent
to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement
with respect to the Registrable Securities of a Stockholder that such
Stockholder shall have furnished to the Company such information regarding it,
the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition
of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request in
writing and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by
the Company.

     1.5. Delay or Suspension of Shelf Registration. If at any time after a
Registration Statement has become effective, the Company is engaged in any
plan, proposal or agreement with respect to any financing, acquisition,
recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction or development
the public disclosure of which would be would be detrimental to the Company,
then the Company may direct that use of the prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement be suspended for a period of up to 60 days. The Company
will notify all Stockholders

- 4 -

 

of the delay or suspension. In the case of notice suspending an effective
Registration Statement, each Stockholder will immediately discontinue any sales
of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until such
Stockholder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or
until such Stockholder is advised in writing by the Company that the
then-current prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional
or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference in such prospectus. The Company may exercise the rights provided by
this Section 1.5 on only one occasion within any 365-day period.

     1.6. Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection with
the registration pursuant to this Agreement (excluding any underwriters’
discounts and commissions and the fees and disbursement of counsel for the
Stockholders), including, without limitation all registration and qualification
fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by
the Company.

     1.7. Indemnification.

     (a) To the full extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder, each director,
officer, partner, employee, or agent for each Stockholder, any
underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each Stockholder, and
each Person, if any, who controls each Stockholder or underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the
Securities Act, the 1934 Act, applicable state securities laws or
otherwise insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein in light of the
circumstances under which they were made or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or arise out of any violation by the
Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of
the Company in connection with any such registration; and will reimburse
each such Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action. The indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 1.7 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 to a Stockholder,
underwriter or controlling Person for any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made in connection with such registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of
such Stockholder, underwriter or controlling Person.

- 5 -

 

     (b) To the full extent permitted by law, each Stockholder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of
its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and any underwriter for the Company (within the meaning of the Securities
Act), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling
Person or underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon 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 in
light of the circumstances, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was made in such registration statement,
preliminary or final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by
such Stockholder expressly for use in connection with such registration.
The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7 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
Stockholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

     (c) In no event shall the liability of any Stockholder under Section
1.7(b) be greater than the lesser of (a) their pro rata portion of any
liability based on the total liability of all Stockholders, or (b) the
dollar amount of the net proceeds (after deducting underwriter’s
discounts, if any, and commissions and all other expenses paid by such
Stockholder in connection with the registration in question) received by
such Stockholder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise
to such indemnification obligation.

     (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.7 of notice of the commencement of any action or actual
knowledge of a claim that would, if asserted, give rise to a claim for
indemnity hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section
1.7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof
or knowledge thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties.
The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement
of any such action or of the knowledge of any such claim, if materially
prejudicial to his ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this
Section 1.7, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve him of any liability that he may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section. The indemnified party may
participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, however,
that the indemnifying party will pay such expense if representation of
such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests

- 6 -

 

between the indemnified party and any other party represented by
such counsel in such proceeding. If, within 30 days after receipt of the
notice, such indemnifying party has not elected to assume the defense of
the action, such indemnifying party will be responsible for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry
or proceeding. An indemnifying party may not, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into a
settlement without the consent of the indemnified party.

     (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is for
any reason, other than pursuant to the terms thereof, held to be
unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and each
Stockholder in connection with the statements or omission which resulted
in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company or each Stockholder and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The
Company and each Stockholder agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.7(e) were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in
this Section 1.7(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 1.7(e) shall be deemed
to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim, but shall be subject, in the case of a Stockholder, to
the limitation of the Section 1.7(c) above. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. No party shall be liable
for contribution with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent
of such party, which consent shall not be reasonably withheld.

     1.8. Rule 144 and Form S-3. With a view to making available to the
Stockholders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and
any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit such
Stockholder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration and with a view to making it possible for the Stockholders to
register the Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement on
Form S-3, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the
Securities Act and the 1934 Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the
Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any
Stockholder, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to make publicly
available other information so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company further

- 7 -

 

covenants that it will take such further action as any Stockholder may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Stockholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. In addition, the Company shall take such action, including the
voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, as
will permit the Stockholders to use Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable
Securities. Upon the request of any Stockholder, the Company will deliver to
such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
information requirements set forth above and its qualification as a registrant
whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3.

     1.9. Grant of Other Registration Rights. From time to time, the Company
may grant registration rights to any other holder of any of the capital stock
of the Company; provided, that such rights do not conflict with the rights
granted hereunder.

     1.10. Transfer of Rights. The right to cause the Company to register
Registrable Securities and the other rights under this Section 1 may be
assigned by any Stockholder to a Permitted Transferee (as defined below), and
by such Permitted Transferee to a subsequent Permitted Transferee. Any
transferee to whom rights under this Section 1 are assigned will (x) as a
condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument by
which such transferee agrees to be bound by the obligations imposed upon the
Stockholders under this Section 1 to the same extent as if such transferee were
a Stockholder under this Agreement and (y) be deemed to be a Stockholder under
this Section 1. Any Person to whom any of the Registrable Securities are
transferred shall be a “Permitted Transferee.”

     1.11 Volume Limitation. No Stockholder shall offer, sell, contract to
sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, in excess of
500,000 Registrable Securities in any 90-day period, enter into a transaction
which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other
arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of Registrable Securities in excess of the foregoing
limit, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery
of the Registrable Securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing, a
“Transfer”), or publicly disclose the intention to make any Transfer in excess
of the foregoing limit, unless such Stockholder (a) engages an investment
banking firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to assist with all
Transfers during such 90-day period, (b) provides the Company with at least 10
business days prior written notice of such Stockholder’s intent to make such
Transfer, which notice shall describe the proposed Transfer and investment
banking firm, and (c) consummates all Transfers during such 90-day period in
the manner and through the investment banking firm described in such notice.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDERS. Each of the
Stockholders hereby severally represents and warrants to the Company, solely as

applicable, of such Stockholder.

reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from such registration
requirements, and that the Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed

not tender, sell or otherwise transfer any of the Shares to the Company for a
period of two years after the Closing. Such

Principal Investor in his capacity as a general partner, stockholder,

                AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

      This Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Rights Agreement (the
"AMENDMENT") dated as of September 16, 2004 is entered into by and between
WebSideStory, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and certain
investors as listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the "INVESTORS").

                                    RECITALS

      WHEREAS, the Company and the Investors entered into that certain
Registration Rights Agreement dated June 18, 1999, as amended on June 30, 2000,
December 12, 2000, March 2, 2001 and July 21, 2004 (collectively, the "ORIGINAL
AGREEMENT"), under which the Company granted certain registration rights to the
Investors;

      WHEREAS, the Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for
its initial public offering (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") in which the Company
intends to sell shares of its common stock (the "COMMON STOCK");

      WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Agreement, the Investors' right to sell
shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement may be limited by
the Company;

      WHEREAS, the Original Agreement provides that an amendment of the Original
Agreement may be effected by the written consent of the Company and a Majority
Interest (as such term is defined in the Original Agreement) of the Investors;
and

      WHEREAS, the undersigned Investors constitute holders of not less than a
Majority Interest of the Investors and, therefore, are entitled to bind all
other holders of Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Original
Agreement) who are parties to the Original Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE>
1. Piggyback Registration. Section 4 is hereby amended in its entirety to read
as follows:

            "4.  Piggyback Registration.

                  (a) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its
            Common Stock under the Securities Act for sale to the public
            (including pursuant to a demand under Section 2 hereof as provided
            therein and except with respect to registration statements on Forms
            S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the
            Registrable Securities for sale to the public), each such time it
            will give written notice at the applicable address of record to each
            holder of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. Upon the
            written request of any of such holders of the Registrable
            Securities, given within thirty (30) days after receipt by such
            Person of such notice, the Company will, subject to the limits
            contained in this Section 4, use its reasonable best efforts to
            cause all such Registrable Securities of said requesting holders to
            be registered under the Securities Act and qualified for sale under
            any state blue sky law, all to the extent required to permit such
            sale or other disposition of said Registrable Securities; provided,
            however, that if the Company is advised in writing in good faith by
            any managing underwriter of the Company's securities being offered
            in a public offering pursuant to such registration statement that
            the amount to be sold by persons other than the Company
            (collectively, "Selling Stockholders") is greater than the amount
            which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, the
            Company may reduce the amount offered for the accounts of Selling
            Stockholders (including such holders of shares of Registrable
            Securities) to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing
            underwriter; and provided further, that the shares to be excluded
            shall be determined in the following sequence (except with respect
            to a demand under Section 2 hereof): (i) first, securities held by
            any Persons not having any such contractual, incidental registration
            rights; (ii) second, securities held by any Persons having
            contractual, incidental registration rights pursuant to an agreement
            which is not this Agreement; (iii) third, securities held by the
            Founders (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); and (iv) fourth,
            all Registrable Securities in each case as determined on a pro rata
            basis in accordance with their holdings. Notwithstanding the
            foregoing, except with respect to the Company's first registration
            of Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Act, in no event shall
            the number of Registrable Securities included in a registration
            pursuant to this section be reduced to less than twenty percent
            (20%) of all shares to be registered.

                                       2
<PAGE>
            (b) Notwithstanding Section 4(a), with respect to the Registration
            Statement previously filed in connection with the Company's initial
            public offering (and only with respect to such Registration
            Statement), this Section 4(b) shall govern. The Investors shall not
            have any right to sell securities pursuant to the Registration
            Statement or in connection with the Company's initial public
            offering except that the Investors shall be entitled to sell shares
            of Registrable Securities, on a pro rata basis, pursuant to the
            over-allotment option set forth in the Registration Statement, only
            to the extent such option is exercised.

      2.  Effectiveness of Amendment.  In accordance with Section 9 of the
Original Agreement, this Amendment will not be effective unless and until
the Company and a Majority in Interest of the Investors consent in writing
to this Amendment.

      3. Termination. This Amendment supersedes in its entirety and terminates
that certain Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement dated July 21, 2004
entered into by and among the Company, Blaise P. Barrelet and certain of the
Investors (the "JULY AMENDMENT"). This Amendment shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect in the event the Registration Statement is not
effective on or before December 31, 2004.

      4. No other waivers; modifications. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Amendment, no other portion, section or provision of the Original
Agreement is waived or amended and the Original Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect, in accordance with its terms.

      5. Miscellaneous. This Amendment will be governed in all respects by the
laws of the State of California. This Amendment and the Original Agreement
constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties
with regard to the subjects hereof and supersede all prior written and oral
agreements, representations and commitments, if any, among the parties with
respect to such subjects. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which will be an original, but all of which together will
constitute one instrument. Any provision of this Amendment may be waived or
amended only in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Original
Agreement.
