records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted
Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in
this Section 1.

     1.4  Notice of Proposed Transfers.  The holder of each certificate
          ----------------------------
representing Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in
all respects with the provisions of this Section 1. Prior to any proposed sale,
assignment, transfer or pledge of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in
effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed
transfer, the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such
holders intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge.  Each
such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and shall be
accompanied at such holder's expense by either (i) an unqualified written
opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall be, reasonably

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the
proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "no action" letter from the
Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without
registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission
that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the
Company.  The Company will not require such a legal opinion or "no action"
letter (a) in any transaction in compliance with Rule 144, (b) in any
transaction in which a Purchaser which is a corporation distributes Restricted
Securities after six (6) months after the purchase thereof solely to its
majority-owned subsidiaries or affiliates for no consideration, or (c) in any
transaction in which a Purchaser which is a partnership distributes Restricted
Securities after six (6) months after the purchase thereof solely to partners
thereof for no consideration, provided that each transferee agrees in writing to
be subject to the terms of this Section 1.4. Each certificate evidencing the
Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such
transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set
forth in Section 1.3 above, except that such certificate shall not bear such
restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such holder and the
Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any
provisions of the Securities Act.

     1.5  Requested Registration.
          ----------------------

          (a)  Request for Registration.  In case the Company shall receive from
               ------------------------
Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any qualification,
compliance or registration (which, in connection with the Company's initial
public offering, must reasonably anticipate an  aggregate price to the public
net of underwriting discounts and commissions, exceeding $10,000,000):

               (i)  promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and

               (ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect such
registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation, the
execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and
appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities
Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so
requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or
such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request,
together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or
Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received
by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from
the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take
             --------
any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant
to this Section 1.5:

                    (1)  In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company
would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Securities Act;

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                    (2)  Prior to the earlier of (i) six (6) months following
the Company's initial public offering or (ii) January 1, 2001.

                    (3)  During the period ending on the date six (6) months
immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement
pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities
in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan);

                    (4)  After the Company has effected two (2) such
registrations pursuant to this subparagraph 1.5(a), such registrations have been
declared or ordered effective and the securities offered pursuant to such
registrations have been sold; or

                    (5)  If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a
certificate, signed by the President of the Company, stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to
the Company or its shareholders for a registration statement to be filed in the
near future, then the Company's obligation to use its best efforts to register,
qualify or comply under this Section 1. 5 shall be deferred for a single period
not to exceed one hundred-twenty (120) days from the date of receipt of written
request from the Initiating Holders.

     Subject to the foregoing clauses (1) through (5), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of
the Initiating Holders.

          (b)  Underwriting.  In the event that a registration pursuant to
               ------------
Section 1.5 is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to
Section 1.5(a)(i). The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section
1.5 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in the underwriting
arrangements required by this Section 1.5 and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting, to the extent requested, to the
extent provided in this Agreement.

     The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by a
majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which managing underwriter shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Company).  Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Section 1.5, if the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders
in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares
to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable
Securities and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be
included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all
Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the
registration statement.  No Registrable Securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation shall be
included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in
accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round
the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders.  The
Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall also be
withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable Securities shall not be
transferred in a public distribution, sold (including, without limitation, any
short sale), offered for sale, contracted to sell, pledged or otherwise dispose
of any of the Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any of the
Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of the
Common Stock, owned directly by the Investor or with respect to which the
Investor has the power of disposition, in any such case whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, other than (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that
the Investor provides prior written notice of such gift or gifts to the managing
underwriter and the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound by the
restrictions set forth herein or (ii) with the prior written consent of the
managing underwriter, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of
the managing underwriter, prior to one hundred eighty (180) days after the
effective date of such registration (the "Lock-Up Period"); provided, however,
that if such registration is not the Company's initial public offering such
Lock-Up Period shall be one hundred twenty (120) days unless the managing
underwriter requires a longer period in which case the Lock-Up Period shall be
specified by the managing underwriter but shall not exceed one hundred eighty
(180) days.

     1.6  Company Registration.
          --------------------

          (a)  Notice of Registration.  If at any time or from time to time, the
               ----------------------
Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its own
account or the account of a security holder or holders other than (i) a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or (ii) a registration
relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, the Company will:

               (i)  promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and

               (ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification
under  blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved in
such registration, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
or requests made within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice
from the Company by any Holder, but only to the extent that such inclusion will
not diminish the number of securities included by the Company or by holders of
the Company's securities who have demanded such registration.

          (b)  Underwriting.  If the registration of which the Company gives
               ------------
notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to Section 1.6 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities
in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the
Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company (or by the
holders who have demanded such registration). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 1.6, if the managing underwriter determines that
marketing factors require a

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter
may limit the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration to a
minimum of 30% of the total shares to be included in such underwriting or
exclude them entirely in the case of the Company's initial public offering. The
Company shall so advise all Holders and the other holders distributing their
securities through such underwriting pursuant to piggyback registration rights
similar to this Section 1.6, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities
and other securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be first allocated among all Investors in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such
Investors at the time of filing the registration statement, and after
satisfaction of the requirements of the Investors, the remaining shares that may
be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among the
officers, directors and other shareholders of the Company in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held
by such officers and directors of the Company at the time of filing of the
registration statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance
with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number
of shares allocated to any Holder or other holder to the nearest 100 shares. If
any Holder or other holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he
or she may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be
transferred in a public distribution, sold (including, without limitation, any
short sale), offered for sale, contracted to sell, pledged or otherwise dispose
of any of the Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any of the
Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of the
Common Stock, owned directly by the Investor or with respect to which the
Investor has the power of disposition, in any such case whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, other than (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that
the Investor provides prior written notice of such gift or gifts to the managing
underwriter and the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound by the
restrictions set forth herein or (ii) with the prior written consent of the
managing underwriter, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of
the managing underwriter, prior to one hundred eighty (180) days after the
effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; provided,
however, that if such registration is not the Company's initial public offering
such Lock-Up Period shall be one hundred twenty (120) days unless the managing
underwriter determines that marketing factors require a longer period in which
case the Lock-Up period shall be specified by the managing underwriter but shall
not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.

          (c)  Right to Terminate Registration.  The Company shall have the
               -------------------------------
right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 1.6 prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

     1.7  Registration on Form S-3.
          ------------------------

          (a)  If the Initiating Holder requests that the Company file a
registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a
public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities, the reasonably
anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, would exceed $500,000, and the Company is a
registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for
such an offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form; provided,
                                                                       --------
however,
-------

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one registration
pursuant to this Section 1.7 in any twelve (12) month period. The Company will
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other
Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect such
registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to
file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue
sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable
regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental
requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable
Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion
of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request
as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20)
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. The substantive
provisions of Section 1.5(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated
under this Section 1.7.

          (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated
to take any action pursuant to this Section 1.7: (i) in any particular
jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent
to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction
and except as may be required by the Securities Act, (ii) during the period
ending on a date six (6) months following the effective date of, a registration
statement (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a
Rule 145 transaction, an offering solely to employees or any other registration
which is not appropriate for the registration of Registrable Securities), or
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to such Holder a certificate signed by the
President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board
of Directors, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its
shareholders for registration statements to be filed in the near future, then
the Company's obligation to use its best efforts to file a registration
statement shall be deferred for a single period not to exceed one hundred twenty
(120) days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such
Holder or Holders.

     1.8  Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights.  From and after the
          ---------------------------------------------
date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting
any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration
rights with respect to such securities unless such holder derives its rights as
an additional Holder hereunder, or such shares or securities are entitled to be
included in registrations only to the extent that the inclusion of such
securities will not diminish the amount of Registrable Securities that are
included.

     1.9  Expenses of Registration.  All Registration Expenses incurred in
          ------------------------
connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 1.5, 1.6 or 1.7 and the
reasonable cost of one special legal counsel to represent all of the Holders
together in any such registration shall be borne by the Company, provided that
the Company shall not be required to pay the Registration Expenses of any
registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.5, the request of which has
been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders.  In such case, the
Holders of Registrable Securities to have been registered shall bear all such
Registration Expenses pro rata on the basis of the number of shares to have been
registered unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree
to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 1.5.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if at the time of the withdrawal, the
Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or
prospects of the Company

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

from that known to the Holders at the time of their request, of which the
Company had knowledge at the time of the request, then the Holders shall not be
required to pay any of said Registration Expenses or to forfeit the right to one
demand registration.

     1.10  Registration Procedures.  In the case of each registration,
           -----------------------
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 1,
the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of
each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion
thereof.  At its expense the Company will:

           (a)  Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for at least one hundred
eighty (180) days or until the distribution described in the registration
statement has been completed; and

           (b)  Furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to
the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of
copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to
Facilitate the public offering of such securities.

     1.11  Indemnification.
           ---------------

           (a)  The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers and
directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration,
qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 1, and
each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of
the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened,
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of
a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to
any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in fight of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the
Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance,
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and
directors, and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and
each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, 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 omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an
instrument duly executed by such Holder, controlling person or underwriter and
stated to be specifically for use therein.

                                      -9-

           (b)  Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder
are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or
compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and
officers, 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 Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each
other such Holder, each of its officers and directors and each person
controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
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, 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, and will reimburse the
Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or
control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action, 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 an instrument duly executed by such Holder and
stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the liability
of a Holder for indemnification under this Section 1.11(b) shall not exceed the
gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

           (c)  Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.11
(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, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be
approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party
to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its obligations under this Section I unless the failure to give such notice is
materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action.
No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall,
except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

     1.12  Information by Holder.  The Holder or Holders of Registrable
           ---------------------
Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by
them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may
request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 1.

     1.13  Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available the benefits of
           ------------------
certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the
sale of the Restricted Securities to the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the
Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

          (a)  Make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after
the effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act");

          (b)  File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
(at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

          (c)  So long as a Purchaser owns any Restricted Securities, to furnish
to the Purchaser forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time
after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general
public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it
has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents
of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably
obtainable by the Company as a Purchaser may reasonably request in availing
itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Purchaser to sell
any such securities without registration.

     1.14 Transfer of Registration Rights.  The rights to cause the Company to
          -------------------------------
register securities granted Investors under Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 may be
assigned to a transferee or assignee reasonably acceptable to the Company in
connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by a
Purchaser (together with any affiliate); provided, that (a) such transfer may
                                         --------
otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (b) notice
of such assignment is given to the Company, and (c) such transferee or assignee
(i) is a wholly-owned subsidiary or constituent partner (including limited
partners) of such Purchaser, or (ii) acquires from such Purchaser 20% or more of
the shares of Registrable Securities (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits
and the like) originally purchased by the Purchaser from the Company.

     1.15 Standoff Agreement.  Each Holder agrees in connection with the initial
          ------------------
registration of the Company's securities that, upon request of the Company or
the underwriters managing any underwritten initial public offering of the
Company's securities, not to sell (including, without limitation, any short
sale), offer to sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of
the Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any of the Common
Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of the Common
Stock, owned directly by the Holder or with respect to which the Holder has the
power of disposition, in any such case whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
other than (i) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, (ii) as a bona fide gift
or gifts, provided that the Holder provides prior written notice of such gift or
gifts to the managing underwriter and the donee or donees thereof agree to be
bound by the restrictions set forth herein or (iii) with the prior written
consent of the managing underwriter, which consent may be withheld at the sole
discretion of the managing underwriter, for such period of time (not to exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

registration) as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters;
provided, however, that the officers and directors of the Company who own stock
of the Company also agree to such restrictions.

     1.16 Termination of Rights.  No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any
          ---------------------
right provided for in this Section 1:

          (a)  after five (5) years following the consummation of the sale of
securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the
Act in connection with the initial firm commitment underwritten offering of its
securities to the general public, or

          (b)  on or after the closing of a public offering of the Common Stock
of the Company, initiated by the Company, when all shares of the Holder's
Registrable Securities may be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period;
provided, however, that the provisions of this subsection (b) shall not apply
where the Holder owns more than two percent (2%) of the Company's outstanding
stock until such time as such Holder owns less than two percent (2%) of the
outstanding stock.

                                   SECTION 2

                            Right of Participation
                            ----------------------

     2.1  Purchasers' Right of Participation.
          ----------------------------------

          (a)  Right of Participation.  Subject to the terms and conditions
               ----------------------
contained in this Section 2.1, the Company hereby grants to each Purchaser the
right of participation to purchase its Pro Rata Portion of any New Securities
(as defined in subsection 2.1(b)) which the Company may, from time to time,
propose to sell and issue.  A Holder's "Pro Rata Portion" for purposes of this
Section 2.1 is the ratio that (x) the sum of the number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock then held by such Purchaser and the number of shares of
the Company's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock then
held by such Holder, bears to (y) the sum of the total number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock then outstanding, the number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any outstanding rights, options or
warrants, and the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the then outstanding Preferred Stock.

          (b)  Definition of New Securities.  Except as set forth below, "New
               ----------------------------
Securities" shall mean any shares of capital stock of the Company, including
Common Stock and Preferred Stock, whether authorized or not, and rights, options
or warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and
securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, "New
Securities" does not include (i) the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares,
(ii) securities offered to the public generally pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act, (iii) securities issued pursuant to the
acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of
substantially all of the assets or shares or other reorganization whereby the
Company or its shareholders own not less than a majority of the voting

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

power of the surviving or successor corporation, (iv) up to 3,600,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock or related options or warrants convertible into or
exercisable for such Common Stock issued to employees, officers and directors
of, and consultants to, the Company, pursuant to any arrangement approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company, (v) shares of the Company's Common Stock or
related options convertible into or exercisable for such Common Stock issued to
banks, commercial lenders, lessors and other financial institutions in
connection with the borrowing of money or the leasing of equipment by the
Company, (vi) stock issued pursuant to any rights or agreements, including,
without limitation, convertible securities, options and warrants, provided that
the Company shall have compiled with the rights of participation established by
this Section 2.1 with respect to the initial sale or grant by the Company of
such rights or agreements, or (vii) stock issued in connection with any stock
split, stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company.

          (c)  Notice of Right.  In the event the Company proposes to undertake
               ---------------
an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall have
twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to
purchase shares of such New Securities (up to the amount referred to in
subsection 2.1(a)), 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)  Exercise of Right.  If any Purchaser exercises its right of
               -----------------
participation under this Agreement, the closing of the purchase of the New
Securities with respect to which such right has been exercised shall take place
within ninety (90) calendar days after the Purchaser gives notice of such
exercise, which period of time shall be extended in order to comply with
applicable laws and regulations. Upon exercise of such right of participation,
the Company and the Purchaser shall be legally obligated to consummate the
purchase contemplated thereby and shall use their best efforts to secure any
approvals required in connection therewith.

          (e)  Lapse and Reinstatement of Right.  In the event a Purchaser fails
               --------------------------------
to exercise the right of participation provided in this Section 2.1 within said
twenty (20) day period, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to
sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities
covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within sixty (60) days from the date
of said agreement) to sell the New Securities not elected to be purchased by
such Purchaser 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 the New Securities or entered into an agreement
to sell the New Securities within said ninety (90) day period (or sold and
issued New Securities in accordance with the foregoing within sixty (60) days
from the date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell
any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Purchasers in
the manner provided above.

          (f)  Assignment.  The right of the Purchasers to purchase any part of
               ----------
the New Securities may be assigned in whole or in part to any partner,
subsidiary, affiliate or shareholder of a Purchaser, or other persons or
organizations who acquire the lesser of (i) 20% or more shares of

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

Restricted Securities (as adjusted for stock splits and the like) or (ii) all of
the Restricted Securities then owned by such Purchaser.

     2.2  Termination of Participation Right.  The rights of participation
          ----------------------------------
granted under Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall terminate on and be of no
further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of the
Company's sale of its Common Stock in an underwritten public offering pursuant
to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act
immediately subsequent to which the Company shall be obligated to file annual
and quarterly reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act or (ii) the registration by the Company of a class of its equity
securities under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

                                   SECTION 3

                                 Miscellaneous
                                 -------------

     3.1  Assignment.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the terms
          ----------
and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties to this Agreement.

     3.2  Third Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
          -------------
intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties to this Agreement, and
their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.

     3.3  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
          -------------
under the laws of the State of California in the United States of America
without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

     3.4  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
          ------------
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

     3.5  Notices.  Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be
          -------
in writing and shall be sent by prepaid registered or certified mail return
receipt requested, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger addressed to
the other party at the address shown below or at such other address for which
such party gives notice under this Agreement. Such notice shall be deemed to
have been given when delivered if delivered personally, or, if sent by mail, at
the earlier of its receipt or three (3) days after deposit in the mail.

     3.6  Severability.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to
          ------------
be unenforceable under applicable law, portions of such provisions, or such
provisions in their entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from
this Agreement, and the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

     3.7  Amendment and Waiver.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended
          --------------------
or waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Registrable Securities, so long as the
effect is to treat all Holders equally. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder of Registrable
Securities and the Company. In addition, the Company may waive performance of
any obligation owing to it, as to some or all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities, or agree to accept alternatives to such performance, without
obtaining the consent of any Holder of Registrable Securities. In the event that
an underwriting agreement is entered into between the Company and any Holder,
and such underwriting agreement contains terms differing from this Agreement, as
to any such Holder the terms of such underwriting agreement shall govern.

     3.8  Effect of Amendment or Waiver.  The Investors and their successors and
          -----------------------------
assigns acknowledge that by the operation of Section 2.7 of this Agreement the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities, acting in
conjunction with the Company, will have the right and power to diminish or
eliminate any or all rights or increase any or all obligations pursuant to this
Agreement.

     3.9  Rights of Holders.  Each holder of Registrable Securities shall have
          -----------------
the absolute right to exercise or refrain from exercising any right or rights
that such holder may have by reason of this Agreement, including, without
Stations the right to consent to the waiver or modification of any obligation
under this Agreement, and such holder shall not incur any liability to any other
holder of any securities of the Company as a result of exercising or refraining
from exercising any such right or rights.

     3.10 Delays or Omissions.  No delay or omission to exercise any right,
          -------------------
power or remedy accruing to any party to this Agreement, upon any breach or
default of the other party, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such
non-breaching party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach
or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or
default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or
default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or
thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this
Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or
conditions of this Agreement, must be made in writing and shall be effective
only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either
under this Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be
cumulative and not alternative.

     3.11 Restatement of Prior Agreement.  The Company and certain of the
          ------------------------------
Investors are parties to the Former Agreement. The Former Agreement may be
amended by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities. Through their execution of this Agreement, the Company and such
Investors, constituting at least 50% of the holders of the Registrable
Securities under the Former Agreement, agree to terminate the Former Agreement
and restate the terms thereof through this Agreement, with the result that this
Agreement shall constitute the sale agreement among the parties hereto with
respect to the registration of Registrable Securities.

                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Indemnification Agreement ("Agreement") is effective as of
___________, 2000 by and between OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and ______________ ("Indemnitee").

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly
qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and its related
entities;

     WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to
the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and the
advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law;

     WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in
obtaining liability insurance for the Company's directors, officers, employees,
agents and fiduciaries, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance
and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance;

     WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial
increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers,
employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time
as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely
limited; and

     WHEREAS, in connection with the Company's reincorporation, the Company and
Indemnitee desire to continue to have in place the additional protection
provided by an indemnification agreement, with such changes as are required to
conform the existing agreement to Delaware law and to provide indemnification
and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by
Delaware law;

     WHEREAS, in view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires
that Indemnitee shall be indemnified and advanced expenses by the Company as set
forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as set forth below.

     1.   Certain Definitions.
          -------------------

          a.   "Change in Control" shall mean, and shall be deemed to have
occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any "person" (as such
term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an
employee benefit plan of the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation
owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially
the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined
<PAGE>

in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the
Company's then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) during any period of two
consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute
the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the
Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was
approved by a vote of at least two thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in
office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose
election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any
reason to constitute a majority thereof, (iii) the stockholders of the Company
approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation
other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities
of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent
(either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of
the surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the
Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (iv) the stockholders of the
Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement
for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of
related transactions) all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

          b.   "Claim" shall mean with respect to a Covered Event: any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute

administrative, investigative or other.

          c.   References to the "Company" shall include, in addition to
OmniVision Technologies, Inc., any constituent corporation (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger to which
OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) is a
party which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or
fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee,
agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent
or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee
benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same
position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent
corporation if its separate existence had continued. Company shall also include
OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a California corporation, the predecessor of
OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

          d.   "Covered Event" shall mean any event or occurrence related to the
fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or
by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while serving in
such capacity.

          e.   "Expenses" shall mean any and all expenses (including attorneys'
fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations incurred in connection with
investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on
appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or to participate in, any

inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of any Claim and any federal,
state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the
actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement.

          f.   "Expense Advance" shall mean a payment to Indemnitee pursuant to
Section 3 of Expenses in advance of the settlement of or final judgement in any
action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing,
inquiry or investigation which constitutes a Claim.

          g.   "Independent Legal Counsel" shall mean an attorney or firm of
attorneys, selected in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof,
who shall not have otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitee
within the last three years (other than with respect to matters concerning the
rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other Indemnitees under similar
indemnity agreements).

          h.   References to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit
plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on
Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving

employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves
services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to
be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit
plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the
best interests of the Company"  as referred to in this Agreement.

          i.   "Reviewing Party" shall mean, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(d), any person or body appointed by the Board of Directors in
accordance with applicable law to review the Company's obligations hereunder and
under applicable law, which may include a member or members of the Company's
Board of Directors, Independent Legal Counsel or any other person or body not a
party to the particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification.

          j.   "Section" refers to a section of this Agreement unless otherwise
indicated.

          k.   "Voting Securities" shall mean any securities of the Company that
vote generally in the election of directors.

     2.   Indemnification.
          ---------------

          a.   Indemnification of Expenses.  Subject to the provisions of
               ---------------------------
Section 2(b) below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses to the
fullest extent permitted by law if

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in,
or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any
Claim (whether by reason of or arising in part out of a Covered Event),
including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Expenses.

          b.   Review of Indemnification Obligations.  Notwithstanding the
               -------------------------------------
foregoing, in the event any Reviewing Party shall have determined (in a written
opinion, in any case in which Independent Legal Counsel is the Reviewing Party)
that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable
law, (i) the Company shall have no further obligation under Section 2(a) to make
any payments to Indemnitee not made prior to such determination by such
Reviewing Party, and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by
Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all Expenses
theretofore paid to Indemnitee to which Indemnitee is not entitled hereunder
under applicable law; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or
                      --------  -------
thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to
secure a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder
under applicable law, any determination made by any Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law
shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the
Company for any Expenses theretofore paid in indemnifying Indemnitee until a
final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all
rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitee's
obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expenses shall be unsecured and no
interest shall be charged thereon.

          c.   Indemnitee Rights on Unfavorable Determination; Binding Effect.
               --------------------------------------------------------------
If any Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively is not entitled
to be indemnified hereunder in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee
shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by
the court or challenging any such determination by such Reviewing Party or any
aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and, subject to
the provisions of Section 15, the Company hereby consents to service of process
and to appear in any such proceeding. Absent such litigation, any determination
by any Reviewing Party shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and
Indemnitee.

          d.   Selection of Reviewing Party; Change in Control.  If there has
               -----------------------------------------------
not been a Change in Control, any Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board
of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control (other than a
Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board
of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control),
any Reviewing Party with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning
the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification of Expenses under this Agreement or
any other agreement or under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws as now or hereafter in effect, or under any other applicable law, if
desired by Indemnitee, shall be Independent Legal Counsel selected by Indemnitee
and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the
Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be
entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law and the Company agrees
to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the
Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees), claims,
liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its
engagement pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay Expenses of more than one
Independent Legal Counsel in connection with all matters concerning a single
Indemnitee, and such Independent Legal Counsel shall be the Independent Legal
Counsel for any or all other Indemnitees unless (i) the employment of separate
counsel by one or more Indemnitees has been previously authorized by the Company
in writing, or (ii) an Indemnitee shall have provided to the Company a written
statement that such Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a
conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and the other Indemnitees with
respect to the matters arising under this Agreement.

          e.   Mandatory Payment of Expenses.  Notwithstanding any other
               -----------------------------
provision of this Agreement other than Section 10 hereof, to the extent that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any
Claim, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection therewith.

     3.   Expense Advances.
          ----------------

          a.   Obligation to Make Expense Advances.  Upon receipt of a written
               -----------------------------------
undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it shall
ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
therefore by the Company hereunder under applicable law, the Company shall make
Expense Advances to Indemnitee.

          b.   Form of Undertaking.  Any obligation to repay any Expense
               -------------------
Advances hereunder pursuant to a written undertaking by the Indemnitee shall be
unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

          c.   Determination of Reasonable Expense Advances.  The parties agree
               --------------------------------------------
that for the purposes of any Expense Advance for which Indemnitee has made
written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses
included in such Expense Advance that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee's
counsel as being reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable.

     4.   Procedures for Indemnification and Expense Advances.
          ---------------------------------------------------

          a.   Timing of Payments.  All payments of Expenses (including without
               ------------------
limitation Expense Advances) by the Company to the Indemnitee pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as
practicable after written demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the
Company, but in no event later than thirty (30) business days after such written
demand by Indemnitee is presented to the Company, except in the case of Expense
Advances, which shall be made no later than ten (10) business days after such
written demand by Indemnitee is presented to the Company.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

          b.   Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee.  Indemnitee shall, as a
               --------------------------------
condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified or Indemnitee's
right to receive Expense Advances under this Agreement, give the Company notice
in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which
indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the
Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the
address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as
the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee
shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably
require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.

          c.   No Presumptions; Burden of Proof.  For purposes of this
               --------------------------------
Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether
with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
                                                                 ----
contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee
----------
did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this
Agreement or applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of any Reviewing
Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any
particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual
determination by any Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard
of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal
proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee
should be indemnified under this Agreement under applicable law, shall be a
defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not
met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In
connection with any determination by any Reviewing Party or otherwise as to
whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable
law, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is
not so entitled.

          d.   Notice to Insurers.  If, at the time of the receipt by the
               ------------------
Company of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the Company has
liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give
prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall
thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay,
on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in
accordance with the terms of such policies.

          e.   Selection of Counsel.  In the event the Company shall be
               --------------------
obligated hereunder to provide indemnification for or make any Expense Advances
with respect to the Expenses of any Claim, the Company, if appropriate, shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) upon the delivery to
Indemnitee of written notice of the Company's election to do so. After delivery
of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such
counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this
Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently retained by
or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided that, (i)
Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee's separate counsel in any
such Claim at Indemnitee's expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate
counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B)
Indemnitee shall have reasonably

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and
Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not
continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses
of Indemnitee's separate counsel shall be Expenses for which Indemnitee may
receive indemnification or Expense Advances hereunder.

     5.   Additional Indemnification Rights; Nonexclusivity.
          -------------------------------------------------

          a.   Scope.  The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee
               -----
to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such
indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or
by statute. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any
applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware
corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer,
employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such
change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which
narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board
of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the
extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this
Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and
obligations hereunder except as set forth in Section 10(a) hereof.

          b.   Nonexclusivity.  The indemnification and the payment of Expense
               --------------
Advances provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which
Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its
Bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.
The indemnification and the payment of Expense Advances provided under this
Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken
while serving in an indemnified capacity even though subsequent thereto
Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.

     6.   No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall not be liable under
          --------------------------
this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, provision of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable hereunder.

     7.   Partial Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any
          -----------------------
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for
all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled.

     8.   Mutual Acknowledgment.  Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
          ---------------------
that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit
the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or
fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and
acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to
undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a
determination of the Company's right under public policy to indemnify
Indemnitee.

     9.   Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains liability
          -------------------
insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries,
Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to provide
Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are provided to the most favorably
insured of the Company's directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the
Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an
officer; or of the Company's key employees, agents or fiduciaries, if Indemnitee
is not an officer or director but is a key employee, agent or fiduciary.

     10.  Exceptions.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
          ----------
the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

          a.   Excluded Action or Omissions.  To indemnify or make Expense
               ----------------------------
Advances to Indemnitee with respect to Claims arising out of acts, omissions or
transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification
under applicable law.

          b.   Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or make Expense
               ------------------------------
Advances to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily
by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, counterclaim or cross-claim, except (i)
with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right
to indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance
policy or under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or
hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Covered Events, (ii) in specific
cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such
Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be
entitled to such indemnification, Expense Advances, or insurance recovery, as
the case may be.

          c.   Lack of Good Faith.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses
               ------------------
incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any action instituted (i) by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having
jurisdiction over such action determines as provided in Section 13 that each of
the material assertions made by the Indemnitee as a basis for such action was
not made in good faith or was frivolous, or (ii) by or in the name of the
Company to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court having jurisdiction
over such action determines as provided in Section 13 that each of the material
defenses asserted by Indemnitee in such action was made in bad faith or was
frivolous.

          d.   Claims Under Section 16(b).  To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses
               --------------------------
and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of
securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or any similar successor statute.

     11.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
          ------------
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

     12.  Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be
          --------------------------------------
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective successors, assigns (including any direct or
indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), spouses, heirs and
personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any
successor (whether direct or indirect, and whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of
the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement
shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as
a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary (as applicable) of the Company
or of any other enterprise at the Company's request.

     13.  Expenses Incurred in Action Relating to Enforcement or Interpretation.
          ---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement or
under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to enforce or
interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be
indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action
(including without limitation attorneys' fees), regardless of whether Indemnitee
is ultimately successful in such action, unless as a part of such action a court
having jurisdiction over such action makes a final judicial determination (as to
which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of
the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not
made in good faith or was frivolous; provided, however, that until such final
judicial determination is made, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to
receive payment of Expense Advances hereunder with respect to such action.  In
the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under this
Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
defense of such action (including without limitation costs and expenses incurred
with respect to Indemnitee's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such
action), unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such
action makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal
therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material defenses
asserted by Indemnitee in such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous;
provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is made,
Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to receive payment of Expense
Advances hereunder with respect to such action.

     14.  Period of Limitations.  No legal action shall be brought and no cause
          ---------------------
of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be
extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal
action within such two year period; provided, however, that if any shorter
                                    --------  -------
period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such
shorter period shall govern.

     15.  Notice.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications under
          ------
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if
delivered by hand and signed for

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

by the party addressed, on the date of such delivery, or (ii) if mailed by
domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third
business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to either party are
as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by
written notice.

     16.  Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
          -----------------------
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware
for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of
