issue for VAR.

3.   VAR OBLIGATIONS

a.   DISTRIBUTION (VAR). VAR will deliver all Software to End Users in its
original shrink-wrapped packaging with the original BackWeb Software License
Agreement. VAR's noncompliance with this section shall constitute a material

d.   MARKETING EFFORTS. VAR shall be provided with a reasonable number of
BackWeb Sales and Marketing Kits and VAR agrees to use such Kits and other
promotional literature and demonstration materials as BackWeb may make available
to VAR from time to time or as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A. VAR agrees to
confer at least quarterly with BackWeb to discuss market conditions, sales
forecasting, product planning, and promotional marketing strategies for such

first point of contact for all support calls for End Users that have paid
support current, and shall make reasonable efforts to identify if the call or
problem reported is related to the VAR Product; (ii) for the VAR Product, VAR is
responsible for providing adequate technical support (including End User
training and consulting) and maintenance to End Users in the Territory,
providing answers to routine questions, technical assistance and advice in the

Server Software and other Software, other than "Client Software", BackWeb will
provide primary level support, and will perform all support and maintenance in
accordance with its standard Software Support and Maintenance Terms provided
that the End User is current in its support payments.

4.   LICENSE FEES

a.   FEES. All prices set forth in this Agreement and Exhibits hereto and in
BackWeb's standard price list are in United States dollars. Unless otherwise
agreed upon and set forth in Exhibit B, VAR shall pay BackWeb the price per unit
of Software ordered by or sold to VAR's End Users, according to BackWeb's
standard price list and the discounts set forth in Exhibit B. VAR agrees to all
pricing terms and conditions set forth in BackWeb's standard price list and the
Exhibits attached hereto. VAR shall pay BackWeb all amounts due BackWeb for
Software invoiced to End Users on the payment schedule set forth in Section 4d.

b.   ANNUAL SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE FEES. VAR has the right to resell initial
support and maintenance contracts to End Users. BackWeb will only provide
support for End Users that are paid current, through VAR, on the annual support
and maintenance fee. All upgrades, updates and fixes delivered by Back Web to
End Users or to DISTRIBUTOR for subsequent distribution to End Users under the
BackWeb Software Support and Maintenance Terms shall become a part of the
Software and shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the applicable End User License Agreement. Any upgrades, updates and fixes
provided hereunder shall be at BackWeb's sole discretion, and BackWeb reserves
the right to modify its policies regarding the provision, pricing, or
availability of upgrades, updates and fixes at any time.

c.   PAYMENT. All amounts invoiced to VAR by BackWeb for the purchase of
Software units are due immediately upon receipt of BackWeb's invoice (which
shall not be issued prior to shipment of the Software) therefor to the address
or account specified in the relevant invoice, and shall be considered overdue if
not paid within thirty (30) days from the date of the applicable invoice, unless
otherwise set forth in Exhibit B. If BackWeb in its sole discretion determines
that VAR's credit rating or payment record hereunder does not merit "net-30"
terms, BackWeb can require that VAR pay all license and other fees prior to
delivery of such Software units or services. On overdue balances, BackWeb may
charge VAR a daily interest rate at the lower of 1% per month or the maximum
permitted by applicable law, and may also suspend delivery of Software.

d.   TAXES. The license and other fees payable by VAR hereunder do not include
any amount for any applicable national, state or local duty, value-added,
withholding or other tax or levy ("Tax") and VAR shall be responsible for
payment of all such Taxes imposed on orders of Software or other fees incurred
hereunder, or shall reimburse BackWeb for any Taxes paid by BackWeb on VAR's
behalf (exclusive of Taxes on BackWeb's net income or those for which VAR is
exempt). If exempt from taxation, VAR shall furnish BackWeb with a valid tax
exemption certificate.

e.   RECORDS; AUDITS. During this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years
thereafter, VAR shall keep accurate records and accounts in accordance with
standard business practices in the computer industry including, but not limited
to, the information required to justify the payments to BackWeb as set forth
above during this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter. During the
same time period, VAR shall permit BackWeb and/or its independent accountants to
audit the applicable VAR records and facilities in order to verify VAR's
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any such audit will be conducted
during regular business hours at VAR facilities and will be paid for by BackWeb,
unless the amount that should have been paid to BackWeb is greater than 5% of
the amount reported by VAR, in which case VAR shall reimburse BackWeb for all
audit costs in addition to the underpaid amounts and interest due thereon.

f.   VAR FEES. All fees charged by VAR to End Users for the VAR Product
Software, support and maintenance shall be at VAR's sole discretion.

g.   PRICE PROTECTION. Changes to the BackWeb standard price list for products
and services will be communicated to VAR in writing at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date such price change takes effect. In the event of a price: (i)
increase, such increase shall apply to all Software units ordered after the date
the price increase takes effect, and VAR cannot purchase more Software units
than it purchased in the three (3) months immediately prior to the date such
price increase takes effect, or (ii) decrease, such decrease shall apply to all
units of Software which have been ordered but not shipped, are in transit for
delivery to VAR or are in VAR's inventory as of the date such price decrease
takes effect. Additional price protection terms, if any, are set forth in
Exhibit B.

5.   DELIVERY

a.   ORDERS. VAR must submit written purchase orders to BackWeb for the purchase
of Software in a format approved by BackWeb, or shall pay BackWeb for all
Software units shipped on a periodic basis, as agreed upon in writing by
BackWeb. Such purchase order shall serve only to designate requested quantities
and shipment dates; the terms of this Agreement and the applicable BackWeb
acceptance or invoice will govern the purchase of Software hereunder and all
other terms are rejected. All purchase orders are subject to acceptance by
BackWeb; however, if not rejected in writing within seven (7) days of
submission, the order is deemed accepted. Any cancellation of a purchase order
by VAR must be submitted to BackWeb in writing and received by BackWeb at least
ten (10) days prior to BackWeb's scheduled shipment date. For VAR designated as
a Systems Integrator hereunder, after VAR's initial order of Software, BackWeb
will invoice VAR promptly upon BackWeb's receipt of the monthly report due from
VAR in accordance with Section 3.c; VAR may submit a confirming purchase order,
but VAR agrees that the monthly report shall serve as BackWeb's authorization to
invoice all amounts due for Software shipped by VAR as reported.

                                       2
<PAGE>

b.   SHIPMENT. BackWeb will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet VAR's
requested delivery dates; however, all BackWeb delivery dates, unless otherwise
specified, are only estimates for VAR's planning purposes and are not binding.
In its sole discretion, BackWeb may refuse to accept purchase orders, allocate
the acceptance of purchase orders among its distributors or VARs in the
Territory, deliver partial shipments (only with VAR's prior written consent),
delay shipments, or reschedule shipments of Software without incurring any
liability therefor. VAR acknowledges that BackWeb will not be liable for any
damages, whether direct, special, consequential or otherwise, to VAR or to any
third party for the failure to deliver Software or for any delay or error in
delivery of Software for any reason whatsoever. (This Section not applicable to
Systems Integrators after BackWeb ships initial copy of Software to VAR.)

c.   RETURNS. BackWeb will not accept returns of Software units from VAR nor
will BackWeb provide VAR with any allowance, credit or discount for Software
which VAR may wish to return, or for other fees paid or due BackWeb hereunder.

d.   RISK OF LOSS. The Software shall be shipped FOB the appropriate BackWeb
facility and risk of loss for all Software from the point of shipment shall fall
upon VAR, whose responsibility it shall be to file any appropriate claims with
the carrier regardless of the party listed as consignee. All transportation
charges, including insurance, shall be made by BackWeb for VAR's account, and
shall be invoiced to VAR, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties and
set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

6.   TITLE/OWNERSHIP

a.   TITLE. Title, ownership rights and all Intellectual Property Rights in the
Software belong exclusively to BackWeb and/or its licensors. All references in
this Agreement to the "sale" or "purchase" of the Software signify only the
delivery of Software to VAR subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
This Agreement grants no additional express or implied license, right or
interest in any copyright, patent, trade secret, trade name, Mark, invention or
other Intellectual Property Right of BackWeb. VAR will not sell, assign, lease,
transfer, encumber or allow any security interest on the Software, or take any
action that would cause the Software to be placed in the public domain.

b.   MARKS. Any use of Marks must be approved in advance by BackWeb in its sole
discretion. Subject to the foregoing, VAR shall include all applicable Marks in
any literature, promotion or advertising which it produces or distributes
concerning the VAR Products, and any such permitted use, advertising,
distribution, or reproduction shall be solely in connection with VAR's exercise
of its marketing and distribution rights hereunder. All Marks shall be in the
form, location, and quality specified by BackWeb in accordance with its
guidelines for the use of the Marks, which may be updated from time to time. The
grant to use the Marks hereunder does not grant any right to assign, sub-license
or otherwise permit the use of the Marks by any other party. Upon termination of
this Agreement, VAR shall have no further right to use, advertise, reproduce, or
distribute such Marks and shall cease all such use of the Marks and will not
thereafter use any mark that is confusingly similar to the Marks to market or
distribute its products. VAR agrees that its use of the Marks hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of BackWeb and that VAR shall not take any action
inconsistent with such ownership (including any act or omission which infringe
or encourage infringement of the Marks in the Software).

c.   BREACH. VAR agrees to use reasonable efforts to protect BackWeb's
Intellectual Property Rights (not rising to the level of writing letters), and
to cooperate at BackWeb's sole expense in efforts to protect such rights. VAR
further agrees to promptly notify BackWeb of any suspected breach of BackWeb's
Intellectual Property Rights of which VAR becomes aware.

d.   VAR'S MARKS. BackWeb will not use VAR's name, logo, trademarks or service
marks in any public communication or public medium with respect to this
Agreement or its performance without VAR's prior written consent.

7.   CONFIDENTIALITY

a.   NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS. Neither party shall use or disclose any
Confidential Information of the other party. The party receiving Confidential
Information from the other shall use a commercially reasonable degree of care to
protect such Confidential Information, including ensuring that its employees and
subcontractors receive Confidential Information only on a need-to-know basis and
have agreed in writing not to disclose the Confidential Information. Each party
shall promptly notify the other of any actual or suspected unauthorized use or
disclosure of such party's Confidential Information, and shall provide
reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party's cost, in the investigation and
prosecution of such unauthorized use or disclosure.

b.   EXCEPTIONS TO NONDISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the parties
under the foregoing section shall not apply to any materials or information
that: (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission
of the recipient or its employees or contractors; (ii) is known to a party at
the time of disclosure as demonstrated by written documentation pre-dating such
disclosure; (iii) is disclosed to a party by a third party which has a right to
do so; or (iv) is required to be disclosed pursuant to an order of any competent
governmental authority, court or agency, provided the disclosing party shall
furnish prior notice to the other party, and give such other party an
opportunity to oppose disclosure or (v) is independently developed.

c.   INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy if this
Section 7 is breached; therefore, either party may, in addition to any other
legal or equitable remedies, seek an injunction or similar equitable relief
against such breach.

8.   LIMITED WARRANTIES/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

a.   LIMITED WARRANTY. BackWeb warrants that to the best of BackWeb's knowledge,
the Software or the Marks do not violate any third party's patents, trade
secrets, trademarks or copyrights or other intellectual property rights hereof
and that the Software is Y2K compliant.

b.   INDEMNIFICATION BY BACKWEB. BackWeb shall, at its expense, indemnify and
hold VAR harmless from and against any award of damages or BackWeb-approved
settlement arising from a claim based on an allegation that the Software
infringes a third party's intellectual property rights as set forth in the
preceding section, provided that: (i) VAR promptly gives BackWeb written notice
of the claim; (ii) VAR provides all reasonable assistance in the defense of the
claim; and (iii) BackWeb controls the defense or settlement of the claim. If a
permanent injunction is obtained against the use of the Software or if, in
BackWeb's opinion, such an injunction is likely to be obtained, BackWeb may, at
its sole option, obtain the right to continued use of the Software, substitute
other functionally equivalent software, modify the Software so it is no longer
infringing and is functionally equivalent, or terminate the licenses in the
Software units sold to VAR, crediting VAR an amount equal to license fees paid
for such Software licenses only hereunder on a depreciated basis over a five (5)
year term. The foregoing indemnity does not apply to any infringement claim
arising if the Software: (i) has been modified by parties other than BackWeb or
without BackWeb's prior written authorization to do so; (ii) has been used in
conjunction with other software and/or hardware which gives rise to an
infringement claim if the use of the Software alone would not give rise to such
infringing situation; or (iii) is other than the most current version if use of
such current version would have avoided the infringing situation.

c.   LIMITATION. THE FOREGOING SECTIONS SET FORTH THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF
BACKWEB AND VAR'S SOLE REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT AND ALLEGATIONS OF INFRINGEMENT
BY THE SOFTWARE OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, OPERATION, DESIGN, DISTRIBUTION
OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE.

d.   INDEMNIFICATION BY VAR. VAR shall, at its expense, indemnify and hold
BackWeb harmless from and against any award of damages or VAR-approved
settlement to the extent caused by a claim based on an allegation

                                       3
<PAGE>

that VAR has fraudulently misrepresented the terms of this Agreement, functions,
aspects and capabilities of the Software, or for any warranty offered by VAR to
an End User that is inconsistent with or beyond the warranties offered by
BackWeb in its printed literature, provided that: (i) BackWeb promptly gives VAR
written notice of the claim; (ii) BackWeb provides all reasonable assistance in
the defense of the claim; and (iii) VAR controls the defense or settlement of
the claim for which BackWeb seeks indemnification.

e.   NO OTHER WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES SET FORTH
ABOVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, VAR ACCEPTS THE SOFTWARE
"AS IS", WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND,
WHETHER EXPRESS, OR IMPLIED BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE, SERVICES TO VAR OR TO ANY OTHER
PERSON, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN BACKWEB'S END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ACCOMPANYING THE
SOFTWARE. BackWeb makes no warranties that the Software will satisfy VAR's needs
or function without interruption, errors or defects. Additionally, BackWeb makes
no warranties regarding the applications developed with the Software, or
regarding Software that has been modified or altered by any party other than
BackWeb, or to any problems caused by computer hardware or operating systems.

f.   LIMITED LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO
EVENT WILL BACKWEB OR ITS LICENSORS OR VAR BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION,
LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS) EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
EACH PARTY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO THE OTHER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR A CLAIM OF ANY
KIND RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY,
STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF
LICENSE FEES PAID TO BACKWEB BY OR DUE FROM VAR WITHIN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR
TO THE CLAIM. EXCEPT FOR ACTIONS PURSUANT TO BACKWEB'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION
8.b, NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT BY VAR MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE EVENTS WHICH GAVE
RISE TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION. THE DIRECT DAMAGES CAP CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION
8.f SHALL NOT APPLY TO BACKWEB'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE INFRINGEMENT
INDEMNIFICATION IN SECTION 8.b AND VAR'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 2.b.

9.   TERM AND TERMINATION

a.   TERM. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration date set
forth in Exhibit A, unless earlier terminated or renewed for an additional
period of time.

b.   RENEWAL. This Agreement may be renewed for additional periods upon the
mutual written agreement of the parties, although each party acknowledges that
the other is not under any obligation to do so.

c.   TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated for the following: (i)
without cause, upon ninety (90) days' written notice to the other party, (ii) by
BackWeb, if VAR fails to make any payments due hereunder within thirty (30) days
after BackWeb delivers notice of such default to VAR; (iii) by either party on
thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party if such party fails to
perform any other material obligation required of it hereunder, and such failure
is not cured within such thirty (30) day period; (iv) by a party upon the
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, liquidation, composition for the benefit
of creditors or similar financial downturn of the other party; or (v) in the
event VAR concludes the existence of this Agreement constitutes actual, or the
appearance of, impairment of independence with respect to any
PricewaterhouseCoopers audit client, this Agreement shall be subject to
termination by VAR upon 15 days prior written notice to BackWeb.

d.   EFFECT. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, however arising:

     (i)   All licenses and other rights granted to VAR under this Agreement
will become null and void, except the otherwise valid End User licenses
previously distributed by VAR.

     (ii)  VAR shall immediately cease using, marketing, distributing and
supporting the Software as part of the VAR Product, and shall promptly delete
the Software from its computers and destroy all copies thereof (including User
Documentation). Each party must provide an officer's certificate to the other
party that it has retained no Confidential Information or portions thereof or
related documentation or materials.

     (iii) BackWeb or its designee shall provide support and maintenance
services to End Users in the Territory, and VAR shall not attempt to contact
such End Users for any purpose related specifically to ongoing support of the
Software, but may contact such End Users related with the non-Software portions
of the VAR Product.

     (iv)  All outstanding amounts due to a party will become immediately due
and payable regardless of whether longer terms had previously been agreed
between the parties. Neither party will have any right to receive any
compensation from the other party solely as a result of such termination, and
neither party to the Agreement shall be liable to the other for compensation,
reimbursement or damages on account of present or prospective profits on sales,
the creation of goodwill in the Software, or expenditures, investments or
commitments made in connection in the performance of obligations hereunder.

     (v)   Each party's payment obligations to the other party hereunder and the
provisions of the following sections shall survive any expiration or termination
of this Agreement however arising: 2b, 4e, 6, 7, 8, 9d, and 10d.

10.  MISCELLANEOUS

a.   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. BackWeb and VAR are independent contractors and
shall represent themselves as such in all regards. Neither the custom nor
dealing of the parties nor any provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
render the parties to be joint venturers, partners, associates, master/servant
or employer/employee. Neither party may bind the other in any manner except as
expressly set forth herein.

b.   ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement may not be assigned by VAR
without the advance written authorization of BackWeb. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors
and assigns of the parties

c.   COMPLETE AGREEMENT, MODIFICATIONS, SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER. This Agreement
contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect
to its subject matter, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or
written agreements, negotiations, proposals and communications between the
parties on the subject matter hereof. All modifications to this Agreement must
be in writing and signed by both parties. If any court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, such portion shall
be deemed eliminated and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in effect
in accordance with its terms as modified by such deletion. If there is conflict
between this Agreement and the End User License Agreement in the Software
package, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Failure or delay to exercise
any right or remedy by either party hereunder is not a present or future waiver
of any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

d.   INTERPRETATION; ATTORNEY FEES. This Agreement is governed by the laws
applicable in the State of California, excluding its provisions on conflicts or
choice of law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sales of Goods will not apply to this Agreement. With the

                                       4
<PAGE>

exception of title to or ownership of the Intellectual Property Rights or the
payment of money owed hereunder, any claim, dispute or controversy arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof that cannot be amicably
resolved between the parties shall be finally settled by arbitration in Santa
Clara County, California if brought by VAR and in New York, New York if brought
by BackWeb, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association, and judgment upon the arbitral award rendered may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof. Nothing in this section shall prevent BackWeb
from initiating any action in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Territory
to obtain injunctive or other provisional relief for any breach of Sections 6
and 7 hereof or to bring an action for collection pursuant to Section 4, and the
parties submit to the jurisdiction of such courts for this purpose. With respect

payment obligations, BackWeb may also take action in the courts of competent
jurisdiction in any state or country in which the Software is licensed as a part
of the VAR Product or VAR maintains an office. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed a waiver by either party of any available remedy.

e.   EXPORT. This Agreement is subject to all applicable export laws and
regulations of the U.S. Government, the Territory and the Netherlands, and to
all administrative acts of the U.S. Government or otherwise pursuant to such
laws and regulations. VAR hereby certifies that VAR will not directly or
indirectly, export, re-export or transship the Software or related information,
media, or products in violation of applicable U.S. laws or regulations or other
applicable laws or regulations. If at any time BackWeb reasonably determines the
laws of any country are or become insufficient to protect BackWeb's rights in
the Software, BackWeb reserves the right to restrict VAR's rights to distribute
the Software in that country, provided that BackWeb grants VAR a minimum of a
sixty (60) days' written notice for such restriction.

f.   GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL. In the event that the approval of any government in

hereunder, including without limitation to remit payments abroad, comply with
exchange regulations or otherwise, it shall be the sole responsibility of VAR to
obtain such governmental approvals prior to the sale of the VAR Product in such

transmissions, which shall be effective one day after receipt).

h.   This Agreement is the overall framework for the reselling relationship
between PwC Entities and BackWeb; however, it is understood that specific
implementation of this relationship internationally may require that local
country addenda be added to this Agreement from time to time, executed by the
PwC Entity in the country and an entity representing BackWeb; the intent is that
such addendum will not modify the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent
necessary to reflect international and local business conditions and legal
requirements.

i.   "PWC ENTITY." PWC Entity shall mean (i) any entity that has executed or
during the term of the Agreement executes a written participation agreement with

in each case, is expected to become a participating entity in
PricewaterhouseCoopers International Ltd.; (iii) a subsidiary or affiliate of an
entity in items (i) or (ii) above; or (iv) a successor to any entity contained

right it may have to a translation hereof. In the event that a translation is
performed, the parties acknowledge that the terms of this English version shall
control the interpretation of this Agreement.

              not) comes to the knowledge of the Purchaser; or

        (B)   any of the Conditions is not fulfilled or waived in accordance
              with sub-clause 3.2 on or before the Completion Date

        the Purchaser may terminate this agreement by notice to the Seller.

3.5     If:

        (A)   any fact which would prevent any of the Conditions from being
              satisfied on the date initially set for Completion (whether it
              does so because of any disclosure made under sub-clause 3.3 or
              not) comes to the knowledge of the Seller; or

        (B)   any of the Conditions is not fulfilled or waived in accordance
              with sub-clause 3.2 on or before the Completion Date

        the Seller may terminate this agreement by notice to the Purchaser.

4.      CONSIDERATION

4.1     The total consideration for the sale of the Shares shall be the payment
        of the Completion Payment and the issue of the Performance Shares.

4.2     The Completion Payment shall be paid at Completion and shall be
        satisfied by (i) the payment by the Purchaser of US$7,900,000 (provided
        that the Seller hereby directs that US$4,000,000 of such amount be
        retained by the Purchaser in satisfaction of the Seller's obligation to
        lend such amount to the Purchaser pursuant to, and in accordance with,
        the provisions of the Seller's Loan Agreement) and (ii) the issue and
        allotment of 4,592,944 New Sina Shares by the Purchaser to the Seller or
        to any corporate body of which the Seller

                                       8
<PAGE>

        has majority control as the Seller may direct in accordance with the
        provisions of this agreement.

4.3     The Performance Shares shall be issued in accordance with clause 5
        (Performance Shares).

4.4     All New Sina Shares (including the Performance Shares) shall, upon
        issue, be credited as fully paid, shall rank pari passu in all respects
        with all Sina Shares then in issue, shall be free from all claims,
        liens, charges, equities and encumbrances and third party rights of any
        kind and together with all rights attaching thereto from the respective
        dates of allotment, including the right to receive all dividends and
        distributions declared, made or paid on or after the respective dates of
        allotment. Subject to any applicable securities rules or regulations,
        including but not limited to Rule 144 promulgated under the US
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended, all New Sina Shares shall be
        non-assessable and capable of being traded, assigned, transferred or
        otherwise disposed of without restrictions.

5.      PERFORMANCE SHARES

5.1     The Performance Shares shall consist of New Sina Shares and shall be
        issued and allotted by the Purchaser to the Seller or to any corporate
        body of which the Seller has majority control as the Seller may direct
        in a maximum of three tranches, and in accordance with the provisions of
        sub-clause 5.5.

5.2     In the first Performance Period, the number of Performance Shares to be
        issued shall be equal to the Base Number of Performance Shares.

5.3     In the second and third Performance Periods, the relevant number of
        Performance Shares to be issued shall be equal to:

        (A)   the Base Number of Performance Shares for the period;

        or, if greater, and provided that the Performance Ratio for the
        immediately preceding Performance Period is greater than 0.5,

        (B)   the Revised Number of Performance Shares

        provided that in no event shall the number of Performance Shares issued
        in each Performance Period exceed 1,093,558.

5.4     For the purposes of this clause 5, the three Performance Periods, and
        corresponding Net Income Targets, shall be as follows:

        1st October, 2002 - 31st March, 2003           HK$30,000,000
</TABLE>

5.5     If Performance Shares are issuable in respect of a Performance Period in
        accordance with this clause 5, such issue shall be made not later than
        15 Business Days following the publication of the audited Net Income for
        the relevant Performance Period. In making any such issue, the Purchaser
        shall ensure that the allotment and issue of the Performance Shares will
        be in accordance with all applicable laws and will have been validly
        authorised by a resolution of the directors of the Purchaser, in each
        case prior to the date of issue of the Performance Shares, and such
        Performance Shares shall be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu
        in all respects with the Sina Shares in issue at the date of allotment.

5.6     If the number of Performance Shares to be issued in respect of a
        Performance Period in accordance with this clause 5 includes a fraction
        of a Performance Share the Purchaser shall not be required to issue such
        fractional entitlement but instead shall issue the whole number of
        Performance Shares nearest to, but less than, such number.

5.7     For the purposes of this clause 5:

        (A)   "BASE NUMBER OF PERFORMANCE SHARES" means, in respect of a
              Performance Period, 1,093,558 multiplied by the Performance Ratio
              in respect of such Performance Period, provided that if the Base
              Number of Performance Shares exceeds 1,093,558 the Base Number of
              Performance Shares shall be deemed to be 1,093,558, and provided
              further that if the Performance Ratio is less than 0.75, the Base
              Number of Performance Shares shall be deemed to be nil;

        (B)   "PERFORMANCE RATIO" means, in respect of a Performance Period, the
              Net Income for such Performance Period, divided by the Net Income
              Target for such Performance Period;

        (C)   "REVISED NUMBER OF PERFORMANCE SHARES" means, in respect of a
              Performance Period, the number of Performance Shares equal to:

              (W x 1,653,460) - N

               where

                                       10
<PAGE>

              W is the weighted average of the Performance Ratios for that
              Performance Period and the immediately preceding Performance
              Period; and

              N is the number of Performance Shares issued in the immediately
              preceding Performance Period

              provided that if the Revised Number of Performance Shares exceeds
              1,093,558 the Revised Number of Performance Shares shall be deemed
              to be 1,093,558, and provided further that if W is less than 0.75
              the Revised Number of Performance Shares shall be deemed to be
              nil; and.

        (D)   For the avoidance of doubt, in paragraph (C) the weighting
              referred to in the "weighted average of the Performance Ratios" in
              each Performance Period is by reference to the Net Income Targets
              for such Performance Periods.

6.      COMPLETION

6.1     Completion shall take place at 2:00 p.m. on 21st September, 2001 at the
        offices of the Purchaser's Solicitors at 27th Floor, Two Exchange
        Square, Hong Kong (or at such other time and place as the parties may
        agree).

6.2     At Completion the Seller and the Purchaser shall do those things listed
        in Schedule 1 (Completion Arrangements).

6.3     Neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall be obliged to complete this
        agreement unless the Seller or, as the case may be, the Purchaser
        complies with the requirements of sub-clause 6.2 and Schedule 1
        (Completion Arrangements).

6.4     Neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall be obliged to complete the
        sale and purchase of any of the Shares unless the sale and purchase of
        all the Shares is completed simultaneously. This sub-clause shall not
        limit any other clause of this agreement and in particular clause 12
        (Remedies and Waivers).

6.5     If the respective obligations of the Seller and the Purchaser under
        sub-clause 6.2 and Schedule 1 (Completion Arrangements) are not complied
        with on the Completion Date the Purchaser or, as the case may be, the
        Seller may:

        (A)   defer Completion (so that the provisions of this clause 6 shall
              apply to Completion as so deferred); or

                                       11
<PAGE>

        (B)   proceed to Completion as far as practicable (without limiting its
              rights under this agreement); or

        (C)   terminate this agreement by notice in writing to the other
              parties.

6.6     If the agreement is terminated by either of the Purchaser or the Seller
        in accordance with sub-clause 6.5 (and without limiting the right of the
        party not in default to claim damages):

        (A)   the party in default will reimburse to the other on demand an
              amount equal to all such costs and expenses incurred by the other
              as are described in clause 19 (Costs and Expenses); and

        (B)   (subject to sub-clause 9.4) all obligations of the party not in
              default under this agreement shall end except for those expressly
              stated to continue without limit in time

        but (for the avoidance of doubt) all rights and liabilities of parties
        which have accrued before termination shall continue to exist.

6.7     (For the avoidance of doubt but without limiting clause 12 (Remedies and
        Waivers)), the right of the Purchaser or the Seller to terminate this
        agreement in accordance with sub-clause 6.5 is not exclusive of any
        rights, powers and remedies provided by law.

6.8     In accordance with and without limitation to clause 12 (Remedies and
        Waivers), the Seller and the Covenantor undertake to indemnify the
        Purchaser, and the Purchaser undertakes to indemnify the Seller and the
        Covenantor, against any loss, expense or damage which any of the others
        may suffer as a result of any document delivered to it pursuant to this
        clause 6 being unauthorised, invalid or for any other reason ineffective
        for its purpose.

6.9     The:

        (A)   delivery of a bank draft for, or payment by telegraphic transfer
              of, the US$3,900,000 (as the case may be) referred to in Schedule
              1, paragraph 3; and

        (B)   the delivery (and acknowledged receipt) of the Allotment
              Instruction for the New Sina Shares comprising the Completion
              Payment in accordance with Schedule 1, paragraph 3 (Completion
              Arrangements)

                                       12
<PAGE>

        shall constitute a discharge of the Purchaser's obligation to satisfy
        the Completion Payment and the Purchaser shall not be concerned to see
        that the moneys represented by the bank draft or transferred (as the
        case may be) are applied in paying the Seller in accordance with her
        entitlement.

6.10    For the purposes of clause 6.9 and Schedule 1 (Completion Arrangements),
        the "ALLOTMENT INSTRUCTION" means an irrevocable written instruction
        from the Purchaser to the Purchaser's share transfer agent instructing
        the share transfer agent to issue to the Seller the New Sina Shares
        forming part of the Completion Payment.

6.11    If any party defaults in the payment when due of any sum payable under
        this agreement (whether determined by agreement or pursuant to an order
        of a court or otherwise), its liability shall be increased to include
        interest on such sum from the date when such payment is due until the
        date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at a rate per
        annum of four per cent. above the Hong Kong prime rate offered for Hong
        Kong dollars from time to time by Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
        Corporation Limited. Such interest shall accrue from day to day and
        shall be compounded annually.

7.      SELLER'S AND COVENANTOR'S WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND INDEMNITY

7.1     Both the Seller and (in consideration of the Purchaser entering into
        this agreement) the Covenantor represent and warrant to the Purchaser
        that each of the Warranties is accurate in all respects and not
        misleading at the date of this agreement and will continue to be
        accurate in all respects and not misleading at the Completion Date as if
        repeated on such date by reference to the facts and circumstances
        subsisting at that date and on the basis that any reference in the
        Seller Warranties, whether express or implied, to the date of this
        agreement is substituted by a reference to that date.

7.2     The Seller and the Covenantor shall procure that no act shall be
        performed or omission allowed, either by themselves or the Company or by
        any other member of the Group which would result in any of the Seller
        Warranties being breached or misleading in any respect at any time up to
        and including the time of Completion.

7.3     Both the Seller and the Covenantor accepts that the Purchaser is
        entering into this agreement in reliance upon representations in the
        terms of the Seller Warranties made by the Seller and the Covenantor
        with the intention of inducing the Purchaser to enter into this
        agreement and that accordingly the Purchaser has been induced to enter
        into this agreement.

                                       13
<PAGE>

7.4     Both the Seller and (in consideration of the Purchaser entering into
        this agreement) the Covenantor undertake to disclose in writing to the
        Purchaser anything which is or may constitute a breach of or be
        inconsistent with any of the Seller Warranties immediately it comes to
        the notice of either of them before Completion.

7.5     Each of the Seller Warranties shall be construed as a separate and
        independent warranty and (except where expressly provided to the
        contrary) shall not be limited or restricted by reference to or
        inference from the terms of any other Seller Warranty or any other term
        of this agreement.

7.6     The Seller and Covenantor undertake (if any claim is made against either
        of them in connection with the sale of the Shares to the Purchaser) not
        to make any claim against any member of the Group or any director,
        employee or adviser of any member of the Group on whom any of them may
        have relied before agreeing to any term of this agreement or authorising
        any statement in the Seller's Disclosure Letter.

7.7     Subject to the provisions of this agreement, the Seller and (in
        consideration of the Purchaser entering into this agreement) the
        Covenantor indemnify and will keep indemnified and save harmless the
        Purchaser from and against any and all losses, claims, damages
        (including lost profits, consequential damages, interest, penalties,
        fines and monetary sanctions), liabilities and costs incurred or
        suffered by the Purchaser by reason of, resulting from, in connection
        with, or arising in any manner whatsoever out of the breach of any
        Seller Warranty or covenant or the inaccuracy of any representation of
        the Seller or Covenantor contained or referred to in this agreement or
        in any agreement, instrument or document delivered by or on behalf of
        the Seller in connection therewith provided that the indemnity contained
        in this clause shall be without prejudice to any other rights and
        remedies available to the Purchaser.

7.8     Both the Seller and (in consideration of the Purchaser entering into
        this agreement) the Covenantor undertake that they will not, and will
        not procure or permit any person on their behalf, for a period of 12
        months following the date of this agreement, to acquire (either directly
        or indirectly) or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding
        to acquire any interest in any shares of the Company without the prior
        consent of the Purchaser.

7.9     Both the Seller and (in consideration of the Purchaser entering into
        this agreement) the Covenantor undertake that they will not, either
        alone or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other person, do any of
        the following things:

                                       14
<PAGE>

        (A)   neither pending nor within three years after the Completion Date,
              be engaged or (except as the holder of shares in a listed company
              which confer not more than two per cent. of the votes which could
              normally be cast at a general meeting of the company) be directly
              or indirectly interested in carrying on within Hong Kong, the PRC,
              Taiwan or North America any business which competes with the
              business of any member of the Group or of the Purchaser as it is
              carried on at the date of Completion (including, but not limited
              to, newspaper and magazine publishing, video or audio products
              distribution, satellite channel, internet broadband or narrowband
              portal);

        (B)   disclose to any other person or (in any way which may be
              detrimental to the business of the Purchaser or any member of the
              Group as carried on at the Completion Date) use any information
              which is Confidential Business Information for so long as that
              information remains Confidential Business Information;

        (C)   without limitation to the provisions of this sub-clause 7.9, in
              relation to a business which is competitive or likely to be
              competitive with the business of any member of the Group or of the
              Purchaser as carried on at the Completion Date, knowingly use any
              trade or business name or distinctive mark, style or logo used by
              or in the business of any member of the Group or of the Purchaser
              at any time during the two years before Completion or anything
              intended or likely to be confused with it;

        (D)   neither pending nor within three years after Completion, knowingly
              solicit the custom, in relation to goods or services sold to any
              person by any member of the Group or by the Purchaser in the
              course of their business during the two years before the
              Completion Date, of that person in respect of similar goods or
              services;

        (E)   neither pending nor within two years after Completion, solicit or
              entice away from the employment of any member of the Group or of
              the Purchaser any person at present an employee of any member of
              the Group or of the Purchaser; nor

        (F)   assist any other person to do any of the foregoing things.

7.10    Each undertaking contained in sub-clause 7.9 shall be construed as a
        separate undertaking and if one or more of the undertakings is held to
        be against the public interest or unlawful or in any way an

                                       15
<PAGE>

        unreasonable restraint of trade, the remaining undertakings shall
        continue to bind the Seller and the Covenantor.

7.11    If in respect of or in connection with any breach of any of the Seller
        Warranties or any facts or matters warranted not being true and being
        misleading any amount payable to the Purchaser by the Seller is subject
        to Taxation, such additional amounts shall be paid to the Purchaser by
        the Seller or, failing whom, the Covenantor so as to ensure that the net
        amount received by the Purchaser is equal to the full amount payable to
        the Purchaser under this agreement.

7.12    The obligations of the Seller and Covenantor under this agreement are
        joint and several.

7.13    The Seller and the Covenantor undertake to indemnify the Purchaser
        against all costs, expenses or other liabilities which the Purchaser may
        reasonably incur either before or after the commencement of any action
        in connection with:

        (A)   any legal proceedings in which the Purchaser claims that any of
              the Seller Warranties are untrue or misleading or have been
              breached and in which judgment is given for the Purchaser; or

        (B)   the enforcement of any such settlement or judgment.

7.14    For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller agrees that absolute title to,
        and all rights and interests in, Yang Lan Studio and all material
        already produced, or to be produced during the Employment Period, by or
        under the name, Yang Lan Studio are and will be legally and beneficially
        owned by the Company save that the Purchaser acknowledges that the
        Seller shall have full title to the brand name "Yang Lan Studio" upon
        the expiration of the Employment Period and that nothing in this
        sub-clause 7.14 shall prevent the Seller, upon and following expiration
        of the Employment Period, from using the name "Yang Lan Studio". For the
        purposes of this sub-clause 7.14, the "EMPLOYMENT PERIOD" means the
        period of time in which the Seller remains an employee of the Company.

8.      PURCHASER'S WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS

8.1     The Purchaser (in consideration of the Seller and the Covenantor
        entering into this agreement) represents and warrants to each of them
        that each of the Purchaser Warranties is accurate in all respects and
        not misleading at the date of this agreement and will be accurate in all
        respects and not misleading at the Completion Date as if repeated on
        such date by reference to the facts and circumstances subsisting at that
        date and on the basis that any reference in the Purchaser

                                       16
<PAGE>

        Warranties, whether express or implied, to the date of this agreement is
        substituted by a reference to that date.

8.2     The Purchaser shall procure that no act shall be performed or omission
        allowed, either by itself or by any of its subsidiaries which would
        result in any of the Purchaser Warranties being breached or misleading

        agreement or in any agreement, instrument or document delivered by or on
        behalf of the Purchaser in connection therewith provided that the
        indemnity contained in this clause shall be without prejudice to any
        other rights and remedies available to the Seller or the Covenantor.

8.7     The Purchaser undertakes to indemnify each of the Seller and the

              of the Purchaser.

        the provisions of Schedule 4 (Registration Rights).

9.      PURCHASER'S REMEDIES

9.1     Subject to sub-clause 9.2, the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller

        liable has or had been breached and (in accordance with clause 11

        the Covenantor or, as the case may be, the Purchaser, none of the

        Covenants and Indemnity) or clause 8 (Purchaser's Warranties and
        Undertakings) or not) that there has been any breach of any of the

                    change in legislation made after the date hereof which takes
                    effect retrospectively (whether relating to Taxation, rates
                    of Taxation or otherwise) or the withdrawal after the date

                    reference date of any member of the Group or the Purchaser
                    (as the case may be) or in the accounting bases upon which

                    be) values its assets introduced and having effect after
                    Completion with retrospective effect; or

              (iii) to the extent that such liability is contingent unless and
                    until such liability ceases to be contingent or becomes an
                    actual liability and is deemed payable but provided that
                    this sub-clause 9.6(F)(iii) shall not operate to avoid a
                    claim of which notice is given within the applicable time
                    limits specified in sub-clause 9.6(E); and

              claim arises by reason of a voluntary act or transaction carried
              out (other than pursuant to a legally binding obligation of the
              Company or the Purchaser (as the case may be) entered into prior
              to the date of Completion) by the Company or the Purchaser (as the

23.1    The courts of Hong Kong are to have jurisdiction to settle any dispute

        the Seller or Covenantor (as the case may be)). If for any reason such
        process agent ceases to be able to act as process agent, or no longer
        has an address in Hong Kong, the Seller and Covenantor irrevocably agree
        to appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to the Purchaser and to
        deliver to the Purchaser a copy of the new process agent's acceptance of
        that appointment within thirty (30) days.

        the whole or any part of the undertaking or assets of any member of the
        Group (including any investment in any other member of the Group) is
        outstanding and there is no agreement or commitment to give or create
        any and no claim has been made by any person to be entitled to any.

        accountants or agents of the Purchaser in the course of the negotiations
        leading to this agreement is true and accurate and not misleading in all
        material respects.

                                       33
<PAGE>

7.2     The information given in Schedule 3 (Basic Information about the
        Company) is true, accurate and complete in all respects.

7.3     The copies of the memorandum and bye-laws (or equivalent constitutional
        documents) of each member of the Group which have been supplied to the
        Purchaser or the Purchaser's Solicitors are complete and accurate in all
        respects, have attached to them copies of all resolutions and other
        documents required by law to be so attached and fully set out the rights
        and restrictions attaching to each class of share capital of the members
        of the Group to which they relate.

7.4     The statutory books (including all registers and minute books) of each
        member of the Group have been properly kept and contain an accurate and
        complete record of the matters which should be dealt with in those books

        allegation that any of them is incorrect or should be rectified has been
        received.

        supplied to the Purchaser or any of its advisers by or on behalf of the
        Seller, the Covenantor or any member of the Group or any Associated
        Company after the Purchaser indicated its interest in acquiring the
        Shares is true and accurate in all material respects and there is no
        fact or matter not disclosed in writing to the Purchaser or any of its
        advisers which renders any such information untrue or misleading in any
        material respect because of any omission or ambiguity or for any other
        reason.

7.7     So far as the Seller and Covenantor are aware (having made due and
        careful inquiry), there is no fact or circumstance relating to the
        affairs of any member of the Group or any Associated Company which has
        not been disclosed to the Purchaser or any of its advisers and which if
        disclosed might reasonably have been expected to influence the decision
        of the Purchaser to purchase the Shares on the terms contained in this
        agreement.

        asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
        accordance with management's general or specific authorisations or

              Securities that have not been sold to the public or any transferee
              of record of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
              paragraph 7 hereof;

        (C)   "REGISTER", "REGISTERED" AND "REGISTRATION" refer to a
              registration effected by preparing and filing a registration
              statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the
              declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration
              statement or document;

        (D)   "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" means the New Sina Shares and any Sina
              Shares issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to,
              or in exchange for or in replacement of the New Sina Shares;

        (E)   "SEC" or "COMMISSION" means the United States Securities and
              Exchange Commission; and

        (F)   "SECURITIES ACT" shall mean the United States Securities Act of
              1933, as amended.

2.      PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS

        The Purchaser shall notify the Holder of Registrable Securities in
        writing at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the filing of any
        registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public
        offering of securities of the Purchaser (including, but not limited to,
        registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of
        the Purchaser, but excluding registration statements relating to any
        employee benefit plan or with respect to any corporate reorganization or
        other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford
        the Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all
        or part of such Registrable Securities held by the Holder. If the Holder
        desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of
        the Registrable Securities held by it the Holder shall, within ten (10)
        Business Days

                                       57
<PAGE>

        after the above-described notice from the Purchaser, so notify the
        Purchaser in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of
        disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Holder. If the Holder
        decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any
        registration statement thereafter filed by the Purchaser, the Holder
        shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable
        Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration
        statements as may be filed by the Purchaser with respect to offerings of
        its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3.      If the registration statement under which the Purchaser gives notice
        under paragraph 2 is for an underwritten offering, the Purchaser shall
        so advise the Holder as part of such notice. In such event, the right of
        the Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to paragraph 2
        shall be conditioned upon the Holder's participation in such
        underwriting and the inclusion of the Holder's Registrable Securities in
        the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If the Holder proposes
        to distribute its Registrable Securities through such underwriting the
        Holder shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
        the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the
        Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, if the
        underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a
        limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of
        shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated as
        follows: first, to the Purchaser; second, to the Holder and any other
        holders of piggyback registration rights on a pro rata basis based on
        the total number of registrable securities held by such holders; and
        third, to any other shareholder of the Purchaser on a pro rata basis,
        provided that, no such reduction shall (i) reduce the securities being
        offered by the Purchaser for its own account to be included in the
        registration and underwriting, or (ii) reduce the amount of securities
        of the selling holders included in the registration below twenty-five
        percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included (or initially
        requested to be included) in such registration. If the Holder
        disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, the Holder may elect
        to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Purchaser and the
        underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
        effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities
        excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and
        withdrawn from the registration. If the Holder is a limited liability
        company, members, retired members, shareholders and other equity owners
        of the Holder, or the estates and family members of, and any trusts for
        the benefit of, any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a
        single "Holder", and any pro rata reduction with respect to such
        "Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying

                                       58
<PAGE>

        registration rights owned by all such persons included in such "Holder",
        as defined in this sentence.

4.      EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION

        All expenses incurred by the Purchaser in complying with paragraph 2, 3
        and 5 hereof shall be borne by the Purchaser, including, without
        limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees
        and disbursements of counsel for the Purchaser, reasonable fees and
        disbursements of a single special counsel for all selling holders, blue
        sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to
        or required by such registration. All underwriting discounts and selling
        commissions incurred in connection with the sale of securities hereunder
        shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata
        on the basis of the number of shares so registered.

5.      OBLIGATIONS OF THE PURCHASER

        Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable
        Securities, the Purchaser shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
        possible:

        (A)   prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
              respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable and
              diligent efforts to cause such registration statement to become
              effective, and, upon the request of the Holder of a majority of
              the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
              registration statement effective for up to one hundred twenty
              (120) Business Days or, if earlier, until the Holder has completed
              the distribution related thereto;

        (B)   prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
              such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
              with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply
              with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
              disposition of all securities covered by such registration
              statement for the period set forth in paragraph (A) above;

        (C)   furnish to the Holder such number of copies of a prospectus,
              including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
              requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as
              the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
              disposition of Registrable Securities owned by the Holder;

        (D)   use its reasonable and diligent efforts to register and qualify
              the securities covered by such registration statement under such

                                       59
<PAGE>

              other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall
              be reasonably requested by the Holder; provided that the Purchaser
              shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
              thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
              service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

        (E)   in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
              perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
              and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such
              offering. The Holder participating in such underwriting, shall
              also enter into and perform its obligations under such an
              agreement; and

        (F)   notify the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
              registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating
              thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of
              the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus
              included in such registration statement, as then in effect,
              includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
              a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
              the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
              circumstances then existing. The Purchaser will use reasonable and
              diligent efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order
              to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a
              material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
              stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
              misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

6.      INDEMNIFICATION

        In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration
        statement under paragraph 2:

        (A)   to the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify and
              hold harmless the Holder, the shareholders, members, other equity
              owners, managers, officers and directors of the Holder, any
              underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder and
              each person, if any, who controls the Holder or underwriter within
              the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a
              "HOLDER INDEMNITEE"), against any losses, claims, damages, or
              liabilities (joint or several) to which any such Holder Indemnitee
              may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
              other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
              damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
              of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
              violations (each, a "VIOLATION") by the Purchaser: (i) any untrue
              statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained

                                       60
<PAGE>

              in such registration statement, including any preliminary
              prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
              or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
              state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or
              necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii)
              any other violation or alleged violation by the Purchaser of the
              Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any
              rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the
              Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the
              offering covered by such registration statement; and the Purchaser
              will pay as incurred to each such Holder Indemnitee for any legal
              or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
              investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability
              or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
              contained in this paragraph 6(A) shall not apply to amounts paid
              in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
              if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
              Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or
              which contains an admission of fault, nor shall the Purchaser be
              liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage,
              liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
              based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
              conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in
              connection with such registration by such Holder Indemnitee;

        (B)   to the extent permitted by law, the Holder will, if Registrable
              Securities held by the Holder are included in the securities as to
              which such registration qualifications or compliance is being
              effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its
              directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the
              Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
              underwriter and any other holder selling securities under such
              registration statement or any of such other holder's partners,
              directors or officers or any person who controls such holder,
              against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or
              several) to which the Purchaser or any such director, officer,
              controlling person, underwriter or other such holder, or partner,
              director, officer or controlling person of such other holder may
              become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
              federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
              liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise solely out of
              and are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and
              only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon
              and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder
              expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the
              Holder will pay as incurred any legal or other expenses reasonably
              incurred by the Purchaser or any such director, officer,

                                       61
<PAGE>

              controlling person, underwriter or other holder, or partner,
              officer, director or controlling person of such other holder in
              connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
              damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
              agreement contained in this paragraph 6(B) shall not apply to
              amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
              liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
              consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
              withheld: provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity
              under this paragraph 6 exceed the net proceeds from the offering
              received by the Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by the
              Holder;

        (C)   promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
              paragraph 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including
              any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim
              in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
              under this paragraph 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a
              written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying
              party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
              the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
              indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense
              thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties;
              provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right
              to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
              by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
              party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
              inappropriate due to actual or potential differing, interests
              between such indemnified party and any other party represented by
              such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
              notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
              commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its
              ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying
              party of any liability to the indemnified party under this
              paragraph 6 only to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission
              so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not
              relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
              party otherwise than under this paragraph 6;

        (D)   if the indemnification provided for in this paragraph 6 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

                                       62
<PAGE>

              reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
              hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with
              the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or
              liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
              The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
              indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by
              reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
              untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a
              material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying
              party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative
              intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
              correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in
              no event shall any contribution by the Holder hereunder exceed the
              net proceeds from the offering received by the Holder, except in
              the case of willful fraud by the Holder; and

        (E)   the obligations of the Purchaser and Holder under this paragraph 6
              shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
              investigation made by the indemnified party, and shall survive
              completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a
              registration statement, any transfer of any such securities and
              the termination of this agreement. No indemnifying party, in the
              defence 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.

7.      ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, the rights to
        cause the Purchaser to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this
        Schedule 4 may be assigned by the Holder to a transferee of at least
        150,000 shares of Registrable Securities, provided that the Purchaser is
        furnished with the name and address of the transferees and provided,
        further, that such assignment is effecting only if further disposition
        of such securities by the transferee is restricted by the Securities
        Act.

8.      GOVERNING LAW

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, the rights and
        duties described in this Schedule 4 shall be governed by and construed
        under the laws of the State of California as applied to agreements among
        California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within
        California.
