                  -----------------------

          (a)     If the Company shall determine to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act, either for its own account or the account
of a security holder or holders exercising their registration rights, other than
pursuant to (1) Section 1.3 below; (2) a registration statement relating solely

to Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act; or (3) an offering on any
registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include
substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a
registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, the Company
will:

                  (i)  promptly give to (x) each Holder, (y) each member of Key
Management, and (z) each Common Shareholder, written notice thereof (which shall
include the number of shares the Company or other security holder proposes to
register and, if known, the name of the proposed underwriter); and

                  (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such
registration statement all of the Registrable Securities and Common Stock
specified in a written request or requests, made by the Holders, Key Management
and Common Shareholders within twenty (20) days after receipt of the written
notice from the Company described in clause (i) above. If the underwriter
advises the Company that marketing considerations require a limitation on the
number of shares offered pursuant to any registration statement, such limitation
shall be imposed in the following order: (x) first, the shares of the Company
sought to be included therein by the Company shall be included to the extent
allowed by the underwriter, (y) second, the shares sought to be included therein
by the Common Shareholders shall be cut back pro rata, in proportion to the
shares sought to be included therein by each, and (z) third, the shares sought
to be included therein by the Holders and Key Management shall be cut back pro
rata, in proportion to the shares sought to be included therein by each.

          (b)     If any Holder, any member of Key Management or any Common
Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any Company underwriting in which his or
its shares are to be included under this Section 1.2, he or it may elect to
withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter
delivered at least seven days prior to the effective date of the registration
statement.

     Section 1.3  Demand Registrations.
                  --------------------

          (a)     From and after the earlier of (1) the fourth anniversary date
of the Closing of the Series E Purchase Agreement or (2) 180 days after the
effective date of the initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock, if
the Company receives in writing a first request from the Holders of an aggregate
of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities then

                                       3
<PAGE>

outstanding, or a second request from the Holders of an aggregate of not less
than 25% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, that the Company effect
the registration under the Securities Act of Registrable Securities, of which at
least 20% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities shall be included in
such registration (which offering must have a per share price of not less than
$34.02 per share (as adjusted for stock dividends, splits, combinations,
reclassification and the like)), the Company will:

               (i)  promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to
all other Holders, Key Management and the Common Shareholders; and

               (ii) as soon as practicable, prepare and file and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective such registration statement
as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of such portion of the Registrable Securities as is specified in
such request, together with such additional portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Holder(s) and shares of Common Stock held by Key Management
and Common Shareholders joining in such request as may be specified in a written
request given to the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
written notice from the Company specified in clause (i) above.

          (b)  If the underwriter managing the offering advises the Holders, Key
Management and Common Shareholders who have requested inclusion of their
Registrable Securities or Common Stock, as the case may be, in such registration
statement that marketing considerations require a limitation on the number of
shares offered, such limitation shall be imposed in the following order: (1)
first, excluding shares to be registered by the Common Shareholders pro rata
according to the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by
each; (2) second, excluding shares to be registered by Key Management pro rata
according to the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by
each; and (3) third, pro rata among such Holders who requested inclusion of
Registrable Securities in such registration statement according to the number of
shares of Registrable Securities owned by each. Except for shares of Common
Stock held by Key Management, neither the Company nor any other shareholder may
include shares in such registration statement without the consent of Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities included therein if the underwriter
managing such offering advises the Holders who have included Registrable
Securities in such registration statement that the inclusion of such additional
shares may either limit the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold
or adversely affect the price at which such Registrable Securities can be sold.

          (c)  Notwithstanding Section 1.3(b) above, the Company shall have the
right, exercisable by written notice to the initiating Holders within thirty
(30) days after receipt of their request to effect a registration under the
Securities Act, to include the Company's shares in such registration, in which
event such registration shall be deemed to be a Company-initiated registration,
and the Holders, Key Management and Common Shareholders shall have the right to
include their Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock, as the case may
be, therein to the extent permitted under Section 1.2 above.

          (d)  The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2)
registrations under this Section 1.3. No registration statement initiated by
Holders hereunder

                                       4
<PAGE>

shall count as a registration under this Section 1.3 unless and until it shall
have been declared effective. Any registration requested under this Section 1.3
which shall not become effective solely by reason of the refusal of the Holders
participating therein to proceed with the registration shall count as a
registration effected under this Section 1.3 unless the Company shall have been
reimbursed for the Registration Expenses incurred by it in connection therewith.

     Section 1.4    Registrations on Form S-3. In addition to the registrations
                    -------------------------
provided in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 above, in the event the Company is qualified to
file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or similar short form registration)
under the Securities Act, the Company shall give written notice of such fact to
the Holders. Holders of the Registrable Securities may, by written notice to the
Company, require the Company to file a registration statement on Form S-3 to
effectuate registration of such Holders' Registrable Securities. Following the
initial public offering of its securities, the Company will use its reasonable
best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any similar short form
registration within the time prescribed by the Securities Act. The Company may
be required to file up to six (6) registrations on Form S-3 upon demand, each
with respect to an aggregate offering of not less than $500,000 (as determined
with reference to the number of shares proposed to be sold in such registration
multiplied by the average closing price, or if no closing price is available,
the mean of the bid and asked prices, over the fifteen trading days preceding
the date of such demand), but it shall not be obligated to file more than one
registration statement on Form S-3 in any six month period.

     Section 1.5    Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration
                    -----------------------
statement filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will, at
its expense, do the following for the benefit of the Holders, Key Management and
Common Shareholders (sometimes referred to collectively as the "Beneficiaries"):
                                                                -------------

          (a)       Use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration
statement effective for a period of 180 days or until the Beneficiaries have
completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating
thereto, or such shorter period of time as is specified by Rule 174 promulgated
under the Securities Act, whichever first occurs, and amend or supplement such
registration statement and the prospectus contained therein from time to time to
the extent necessary to comply with the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws;

          (b)       Use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the
securities to be sold by the Beneficiaries under such registration under the
applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the
underwriter of such offering shall reasonably deem necessary in order to ensure
a successful offering; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to
                       --------
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or
otherwise required to be so qualified or to take any action which would subject
it to the service of process in suits other than those arising out of such
registration;

          (c)       Furnish such number of prospectuses, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
other documents incident thereto as a Beneficiary from time to time may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities;

                                       5
<PAGE>

          (d)       In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a
registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, the Company will
enter into an underwriting agreement necessary to effect the offer and sale of
Common Stock, provided such underwriting agreement contains usual and customary
underwriting provisions and is entered into by the Beneficiaries and provided
further that if the underwriter so requests, the underwriting agreement will
contain customary contribution provisions on the part of the Company; and

          (e)       Permit each selling shareholder and such shareholder's
counsel or other representatives to inspect and copy such corporate documents as
he may reasonably request, subject to receipt of such written confidentiality
undertaking as the Company may reasonably request.

     Section 1.6    Expenses of Registration. In the event of a registration in
                    ------------------------
which securities held by Beneficiaries are included under this Agreement, the
Company shall pay all Registration Expenses, but shall not be required to pay or
otherwise assume responsibility for Selling Expenses, which shall be the sole
responsibility of the selling shareholders.

     Section 1.7    Underwritten Registrations.
                    --------------------------

          (a)       The Company shall have the right to select the managing
underwriter or underwriters for any underwritten offering made pursuant to a
registration under Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 hereof. The Company also, shall
have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters in any
registration under Section 1.3 hereof, provided that such managing underwriter
or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders owning a majority
of Registrable Securities included in such registration.

          (b)       In connection with the initial public offering by the
Company, the Holders, members of Key Management and the Common Shareholders
shall, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof, agree
not to sell any of their Registrable Securities or any other securities of the
Company owned by such shareholders in any transaction other than pursuant to
such underwritten offering for a period beginning 60 days prior to the date the
Company and the underwriter reasonably expect the registration statement to
become effective, and for such period not to exceed 180 days as determined in
the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (such agreement shall be
pursuant to the standard form of lock-up agreement of the managing underwriter
or underwriters of such initial public offering); provided, however, (i) that,
if reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters, such agreement shall permit the
Holders, members of Key Management and the Common Shareholders to make permitted
transfers (as such term is used in Section 4 of the Fourth Amended and Restated
Shareholders Agreement) of their Registrable Securities, which agreement shall
be expressly conditioned on any such transferees similarly agreeing to be bound
by this Section 1.7, and (ii) that all officers and directors of the Company and
all individual holders of at least one percent (1%) of the total voting power of
the Company enter into similar agreements.

          (c)       The Company may delay for a maximum of six months any
underwritten offering pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.3 when, in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors, (i) a condition or pending transaction
exists, the disclosure of which would reasonably

                                       6
<PAGE>

be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company, or (ii) a delay in
such offering would be in the best interests of the Company.

                  ---------------------------------------------------------

          (a)     At any time and from time to time after the close of business

with the current public information requirements of Rule 144.

          (b)     The rights of a Beneficiary to demand or participate in any

Beneficiary is eligible to dispose of his shares pursuant to Rule 144(k), as in
effect at such time.

     Section 1.9  Information by Holder. Each Beneficiary included in any

reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection
with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this
Agreement.

     Section 1.10 Prospectus Delivery Requirement. In the event that any
                  -------------------------------
Beneficiaries propose to distribute any Registrable Securities in a registered
offering which is not underwritten, such Beneficiaries severally agree to comply
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act with respect to
such distribution and to furnish evidence of such compliance to the extent
reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such distribution.

     Section 1.11 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the
                  ------------------

<PAGE>

          (c)     so long as the Beneficiaries own any shares of Common Stock,
furnish each of the Beneficiaries promptly upon its request, (i) a written
statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of
Rule 144 (at any time from and after ninety days following the effective date of

(at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and (iii)

     Section 1.12 Other Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
                  -------------------------
Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or
prospective holder the right to require the Company to initiate any registration
of any securities of the Company prior to the date on which the Holders may
initiate a registration or to initiate a registration in which the Holders may
not participate in proportion to their stock ownership, provided that this
                                                        --------
Section shall not limit the right of the Company to enter into any agreement
with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving
such holder or prospective holder the right, upon any registration of any of the
Company's securities, to include, among the securities which the Company is then
registering, securities owned by such holder. Any right given by the Company to

     Section 1.14 Damages; Injunctive Relief. The Company recognizes and agrees
                  --------------------------
that the Holders of Registrable Securities shall not have an adequate remedy if
the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, and that
damages will not be readily ascertainable, and the Company expressly agrees that
in the event of such failure damages shall not be an exclusive remedy and the
Holders, or any of them, may seek specific performance of the Company's
obligations hereunder.

     Section 1.15 Indemnification.
                  ---------------

          (a)     The Company will, and hereby does, agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Beneficiary whose securities of the Company are included in any
registration statement, each of its officers, directors, agents, employees and
partners, and each person controlling such Beneficiary (within the meaning of
the Securities Act), with respect to which registration, qualification or
compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter,
if any, and each person who controls such Beneficiary or underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages, and
liabilities (joint or several) or actions in respect thereof arising out of or
based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other

                                       8
<PAGE>

document (including any related registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, notification or
the like, and all amendments and supplements thereto) incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omissions) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the
Company of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the securities laws of any
state or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or
the securities laws of any state applicable to the Company and relating to
action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such
registration, qualification or compliance, and, subject to compliance with the
provisions of paragraph (c) below, will promptly reimburse each such
Beneficiary, each of its officers, directors, agents, employees and partners,
and each person controlling such Beneficiary, each such underwriter and each
person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, whether or not resulting in any
liability, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
           --------
extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or
is based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or
alleged omission) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Beneficiary or underwriter and stated to be
expressly for use therein.

          (b)  Each Beneficiary will, if securities held by such Beneficiary are
included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or
compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of
its directors, officers, employees and agents and each underwriter, if any, of
the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person
who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such
Beneficiary and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents and
partners, and each person controlling such Beneficiary, against all claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of
or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular
or other document (and all amendments and supplements thereto), or any 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 any
violation by such Beneficiary of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any
rule or regulation under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the
securities laws of any state applicable to such Beneficiary, and will promptly
reimburse the Company and such other Beneficiaries' directors, officers,
partners, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, whether or not resulting in
liability, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is
made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by such Beneficiary and stated to be expressly for use therein;
provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this paragraph exceed the
net proceeds from the offering received by such Beneficiary if such Beneficiary
(i) is not, individually or through its affiliates or controlling persons, a
director, executive officer or beneficial holder of in excess of 10% of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company and (ii) had no knowledge regarding the
untruth of any statement (or alleged untrue statement), or any omission (or
alleged omission) upon which any

                                       9
<PAGE>

indemnity stated in this paragraph (b) is a condition precedent to the Company's
obligation to include securities of the Beneficiary in any registration
statement; that the Company will be relying upon this indemnity as an inducement
in doing so; that the Company may, at its option, require an instrument executed
by the Beneficiary and expressly reaffirming this indemnity as a precondition to
proceeding with the registration of any securities under this Agreement; and
that even in the absence of such instrument, the decision of the Beneficiary to
proceed with such registration shall be deemed a reaffirmation of the provision.

          (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.5 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
 -----------------
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
                      ------------------
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the
failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement (except and to the
extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced as a consequence thereof). The
Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, and to the extent that it
may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnifying Party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnifying Party, at its expense to
assume, the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided that
                                                                --------
the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its expense,
notwithstanding the assumption of such of defense by the Indemnifying Party, and
provided, further, that if the defendants in any such action shall include both
--------  -------
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
and/or other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party or Parties shall have
the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to
otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
Indemnified Party or Parties and the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party unless such different or
additional defenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid or such court bases its decision on common defenses, in which cases the
Indemnified Party or Parties shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate
counsel.

          (d) 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 against or enter into any settlement concerning any
Indemnified Party 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 of such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party
shall provide such reasonable cooperation and shall furnish such information
regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may
reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection
with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

          (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.15 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

                                      10
<PAGE>

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 that in no event
shall any contribution under this paragraph exceed the net proceeds from the
offering received by such Beneficiary if such Beneficiary (i) is not,
individually or through its affiliates or controlling persons, a director,
executive officer or beneficial holder of in excess of 10% of the outstanding
voting stock of the Company and (ii) had no knowledge regarding the untruth of
any statement (or alleged untrue statement), or any omission (or alleged
omission) upon which any contribution is sought under this paragraph.

          (f) Neither the Company nor any Holder shall be required to
participate in a registration pursuant to which it would be required to execute
an underwriting agreement in connection with a registration effected under
Section 1.2 or Section 1.3 which imposes indemnification or contribution
obligations on the Company or such Holder, as the case may be, more onerous than
those imposed hereunder.

     Section 1.16 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
                  ---------------------------------
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article I may be
assigned by a Beneficiary to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities

(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 and (B) such transferee shall
agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

            For purposes of this Agreement, a "Qualified Public Offering" means
                                               -------------------------
the sale of the Company's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public
offering registered under the Securities Act other than a registration statement
relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under the Securities Act or to
an employee benefit plan of the Company, at a public offering price (prior to
underwriter's commissions and expenses) per share of Common Stock (as adjusted
for stock dividends, splits, combinations, reclassification and the like) per
share equal to or exceeding $34.02 and with aggregate gross proceeds to the
Company and any selling shareholders therein (before deduction for underwriter's

as adjusted.

                  (ii)  Prior to a Qualified Public Offering, the Company will
also permit each Qualified Holder and its authorized representatives, at all
reasonable times and, upon one business days' prior notice to the Company, as

records and to make extracts therefrom, and to discuss the affairs, finances and

shall at all times maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary information

            (c)   Board of Directors Elections; Meetings; Actions. Prior to a

ensure that members of the Board of Directors are elected annually by the non-
cumulative vote of the shareholders of the Company, voting in the manner
provided in the Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the
Fourth Amended and Restated Voting Agreement.

                  (ii)  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to give
each Qualified Holder written notice at one week in advance of all meetings of
the Board of Directors and all meetings of committees of the Board of Directors,
which notice may be waived in writing or by attendance at the meeting, and will
permit a representative of such Qualified Holder to attend and observe meetings
of the Board of Directors; provided, however that the Company reserves the right
to exclude the representative of such Qualified Holder from access to any
meeting or portion thereof:

                        A. if the Company believes, upon advice of counsel, that
such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client
privilege;

                        B. to avoid the disclosure of highly confidential
proprietary information to such representative if such representative represents
a Qualified Holder that is a potential competitor, customer or prospective
customer of the Company, and the attendance of such representative would give
the Qualified Holder a competitive advantage or cause the Company to lose a
competitive advantage, or for other similar reasons; or

                        C. if in the judgment of a majority of the Directors,
such access would materially impair the due consideration by the Board of
Directors of any matter;

other actions taken by the Board of Directors and its committees and all written
material given to members of the Board of Directors in connection with such
meeting at the same time such materials and information are given to the Board
of Directors; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to exclude
such Qualified Holder from access to any such material:

                        A. if the Company believes, upon advice of counsel, that
such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client
privilege; or

                        B. to avoid the disclosure of highly confidential
proprietary information to Qualified Holder if such Qualified Holder is a
potential competitor, customer, or prospective customer of the Company, and the
disclosure of such information would give the Qualified Holder a competitive
advantage or cause the Company to lose a competitive advantage, or for other
similar reasons;

                  (v)   If the Company proposes to take any action by written
consent in lieu of a meeting of its Board of Directors or any committee thereof,
the Company shall give written notice thereof to each Qualified Holder prior to
or concurrently with the time such consent is distributed to directors for
signature, together with any description of the nature and substance of such
action as may be provided to the Directors of the Company.

            (d)   Payment of Taxes, etc. Prior to a Qualified Public Offering,
                  ---------------------
the Company will pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged, all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon
its respective income or properties before the same shall become in default, as
well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if not paid
when due, might result in the imposition of a lien or charge upon any of its
properties; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay and
            --------  -------
discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as the
validity thereof is being contested by the Company in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and an adequate reserve therefor has been established.

            (e)   Dealings with Related Parties. Prior to a Qualified Public
                  -----------------------------
Offering, each transaction (other than expense reimbursements or payments to
employees or Directors in the ordinary course of the Company's business) by and
between the Company on the one hand, and any shareholder, Director, officer or
employee of the Company, or entities controlled by or affiliated with any such
persons, on the other hand, shall be approved by the unanimous consent of all
Directors of the Company who are not interested in such transaction (it being
acknowledged and agreed that the purchase and sale of the Series E Preferred
Stock pursuant to the Series E Purchase Agreement and the transactions related
thereto were the subject of arms'-length negotiations and have received such
approval).

<PAGE>

            (f)   Use of Proceeds. The proceeds to the Company from the sale of
                  ---------------

                  -----------------
Qualified Public Offering, use its reasonable best efforts to maintain, at its
expense, "key man" life insurance insuring the life of Joseph F. Pinkerton, III
and designating the Company as the beneficiary of a death benefit of at least
$2,000,000. Joseph F. Pinkerton, III is in satisfactory health and the Company
and Joseph F. Pinkerton, III are not aware of any condition that would prevent
the Company from obtaining such life insurance at normally prevailing rates for

such Qualified Holder's interest in the Company's outstanding Common Stock
(assuming the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B

Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred
Stock and Underlying Shares may be bound), do any of the following:

which alters, changes or amends the preferences, rights or privileges of the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C

the consent of a majority in interest (or such higher percentage as may be
required by law) of the holders of such class of Preferred Stock;

                         CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT
                         -----------------------------

     This Consulting Services Agreement dated May 6, 1996 (the "Agreement") is
made and entered into by and between Magnetic Bearing Technologies, Inc., a
Texas corporation (the "Company"), and Eric L. Jones ("Consultant").

     1.   Term of the Agreement.  The Company hereby engages Consultant to
          ---------------------
perform certain consulting services described herein, and Consultant hereby
accepts such engagement with the Company for an initial term of one year,
commencing on the date hereof (the "Initial Term").  Upon the expiration of the
Initial Term, unless either party shall have given the other notice of its
intent to terminate the Agreement in the manner provided in Section 6, the
Agreement shall renew and extend for successive one month terms until terminated
in the manner provided in Section 6.

     2.   Duties and Obligations.
          ----------------------

          a.  Consultant initially shall be Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company (the "Board") and shall have such powers and duties customarily
associated with his position as a member of the Board.  In his capacity as a
consultant and as Chairman of the Board, Consultant shall advise the Company
with respect to general corporate strategy, as well as, but not limited to,
finance, budgeting, marketing, administration, acquisitions and corporate

          b.  During the term of this Agreement, Consultant shall devote an
average of approximately ten hours per week to the provision of services
hereunder.

          c.  Consultant currently is subject to a Proprietary Information and
Nondisclosure Agreement with the Company and agrees to remain subject to such
agreement or to such other similar agreement as the Company and Consultant may
later agree during the term of the Agreement.

     3.   Compensation.  As partial compensation for the services of Consultant,
          ------------
during the Initial term, the Company shall pay to Consultant a fee of $6,250 per
month (prorated for any partial month in which services are rendered), resulting
in a fee of $75,000 during the Initial Term. Compensation for additional terms
during which this Agreement is in effect shall be agreed to by Consultant and
the Company's Board of Directors.

     4.   Equity Interest in the Company.  As additional compensation for the
          ------------------------------
services of Consultant, Consultant shall be granted, concurrent with the
execution of this Agreement, options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, which options shall be
governed exclusively by the Stock Option Agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Option Agreement").
<PAGE>

Any subsequent option grants to Consultant, in his capacity as consultant or
otherwise, shall be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

     5.   Expenses.  The Company shall promptly reimburse Consultant for all
          --------
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provisions of
consulting services to the Company, including costs Consultant incurs in
attending Board meetings.  Consultant shall provide the Company with monthly
invoices detailing expense reimbursements which Consultant believes are due
under this Agreement, and shall itemize and provide receipts for expenses upon
request.

     6.   Termination of Consulting Services. Consultant may terminate this
          ----------------------------------
Agreement at any time, including during the Initial Term, by delivery to the
Company of 30 days prior notice.  During any period in which the Agreement is in
effect, including the Initial Term, the Company may terminate this Agreement for
"Cause."  After the Initial Term, either party may terminate the Agreement upon
30 days prior notice.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean any of
the following:  gross misconduct or acts of commission or omission that involve
a conviction for fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation of any property or
proprietary information of the Company.

     7.   Miscellaneous.
          -------------

          a.  Independent Contractor.  Consultant is an independent contractor

statutory obligations, including, but not limited to, workers' compensation
insurance, if any be required.

          b.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed,
              -------------
governed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Texas.

          c.  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined by
              ------------
a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be
enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain in
full force and effect.

          d.  Successors and Assigns.  The rights and obligations of the Company
              ----------------------

matter hereof.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only pursuant to a
