                  (a) GENERAL RESTRICTIONS. So long as this Agreement shall
remain in force, none of the Securities may be issued, sold, assigned,
transferred, given away or in any way disposed of (any of the foregoing being
hereinafter referred to as a "TRANSFER") unless:

                           (i) the Person in whose favor such Transfer is made
                  shall deliver to the Company a written acknowledgment that the
                  Securities to be transferred are subject to this Agreement and
                  that such Person and such Person's successors in interest are
                  bound hereby on the same terms as the Transferor of such
                  Securities, but prior to any such Transfer, the Transferor
                  shall give the Company (1) notice describing the manner and
                  circumstances of the proposed Transfer and (2) if reasonably
                  requested by the Company, a written opinion in form and
                  substance reasonably satisfactory to legal counsel of the

                  effected without registration under the Securities Act or any
                  applicable state law;

                           (ii) such Transfer shall be made in compliance with
                  the provisions of this Agreement, the Employee Stock Purchase

<PAGE>

                           (iii) such Transfer shall be made pursuant to a
                  public offering registered under the Securities Act and in
                  accordance with applicable state law or pursuant to Rule 144
                  under the Securities Act.

Any attempted Transfer other than in accordance with this Agreement shall be
void, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not
reflect on its records any change in record ownership of the Securities pursuant
to any such attempted Transfer.

                  (c) MECHANICS OF TRANSFER. The closing of any Transfer of
Securities (other than pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) above) shall take place at
the principal executive offices of the Company. Any Holder who Transfers the
Securities shall (i) take all such actions and execute and deliver all such
documents as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Company in order to
consummate the Transfer of such Securities and (ii) pay to the Company such
amounts as may be required for any applicable stock transfer taxes.

                  (d) PLEDGE AND HYPOTHECATION PROHIBITED. In the case of
Securities other than Preferred Stock, no Holder (other than any Persons not a
party to this Agreement who acquire such Securities pursuant to a registration
statement ("PUBLIC TRANSFEREES")) shall, prior to a Qualified Public Offering,
in any manner pledge, hypothecate or encumber, or grant options with respect to,
any such Securities held by such Holder, unless such Holder obtains the prior
(i) written approval of the Executive Committee and (ii) written agreement of
the designated assignee or secured party to acknowledge, accept and agree to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement. No Holder of Preferred Stock (other than
any Public Transferee) shall, in any manner pledge, hypothecate or encumber, or
grant options with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder,
unless such Holder obtains the prior (i) written approval of the Executive
Committee and (ii) written agreement of the designated assignee or secured party
to acknowledge, accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

                  SECTION 3. TRANSFERS NOT SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.
The following Transfers (each a "PERMITTED TRANSFER") shall not be subject to
the rights of first refusal set forth in SECTION 4 hereof:

                  (a) CERTAIN TRANSFERS BY OCM ENTITY. Subject to the
restrictions on Transfer set forth in SECTION 2, an OCM Entity or any subsequent

SECURITIES"), may Transfer or grant participation in any or all of the OCM
Transfer Securities to (i) any OCM Affiliate or a TCW Affiliate in connection
with an in-kind distribution, (ii) any Person pursuant to a demand or piggyback
registration or (iii) any other Person to the extent the aggregate number of OCM
Transfer Securities so transferred shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the
aggregate number of OCM Transfer Securities purchased by the OCM Entities, in
the aggregate, from the Company on the Closing Date and subsequent thereto. Any
OCM Transfer Securities, or interest therein, so transferred may subsequently be
transferred back to an OCM Entity and upon such reacquisition such OCM Transfer
Securities shall be subject to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any OCM
Transfer Securities so reacquired by an OCM Entity shall not be subject to this
Agreement to the extent that an OCM Entity purchased such OCM Transfer
Securities pursuant to a registration statement or from a Public Transferee.

<PAGE>

                  (b) CERTAIN TRANSFERS BY WES&S. Subject to the restrictions on
Transfer set forth in SECTION 2, WES&S or any subsequent holder of the WES&S
Shares other than Preferred Stock ("WES&S TRANSFER SECURITIES") may Transfer or
grant participation in any or all of the WES&S Transfer Securities to (i) any
Person to the extent that such Transfer would not constitute a Sell-Down Event
or (ii) any other Person pursuant to a demand or piggyback registration. Any
WES&S Transfer Securities, or interest therein, so transferred may subsequently
be transferred back to WES&S and upon such reacquisition such WES&S Transfer
Securities shall be subject to this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any WES&S
Transfer Securities so reacquired by WES&S shall not be subject to this
Agreement to the extent that WES&S purchased such WES&S Transfer Securities
pursuant to a registration statement or from a Public Transferee.

                  (c) CERTAIN TRANSFERS BY MANAGEMENT, MYERS OR THE BANKS. Each
of Management, Myers, or the Banks, may Transfer any or all of their respective
shares of Common Stock to any Person in connection with a piggyback
registration. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in SECTION 2,
Myers may transfer any or all of his Securities to a Myers Affiliate. Any shares
of Common Stock, or interest therein, so transferred by a Holder pursuant to
this SECTION 3(C) may subsequently be transferred back to such Holder and upon
such reacquisition such shares of Common Stock shall be subject to this
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any shares of Common Stock so reacquired by
such Holder shall not be subject to this Agreement to the extent that such
Holder purchased such shares of Common Stock pursuant to a registration
statement or from a Public Transferee.

                  (d) INTER VIVOS TRANSFERS. Any Holder who is a natural person
may transfer, by INTER VIVOS Transfer, any or all of his or her Securities to
any other natural person who is a Family Member or to a trust primarily for the
benefit of such natural person who is a Family Member or such Holder (an "INTER
VIVOS Transferee"); PROVIDED that such Holder retains all voting rights with
respect to such Securities, and; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no Holder who is a
natural person may make an INTER VIVOS transfer to any person unless such Holder
shall comply with the provisions of SECTION 2. Subject to the restrictions of
SECTION 2, any Securities transferred pursuant to this SECTION 3(D) may
subsequently be transferred back to such Holder.

                  (e) CERTAIN TRANSFERS OF PREFERRED STOCK. Any Holder may
Transfer not less than 3,000 shares of Preferred Stock to any Person and such
Transfer shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof.

SECTION 4. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Each Holder agrees that,
except as provided in SECTIONS 3 AND 5 hereof, such Holder will not transfer any
Securities, or any right, title or interest therein, unless such Holder shall
have first made the offers to sell set forth in this SECTION 4.

                  (a) REFUSAL NOTICE. A Holder that desires in good faith to
Transfer any Securities that are subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), (c)
or (d) (the "TRANSFEROR") shall deliver a written notice of such intent (the
"REFUSAL NOTICE") to each Offeree as required pursuant to Section 4(b), (c) or
(d). The Refusal Notice shall contain (i) a description of the proposed Transfer
transaction and the terms thereof including the number and type of Securities
(E.G.,

<PAGE>

Preferred Stock, Common Stock or Warrants) proposed to be transferred
(collectively, the "REFUSAL SECURITIES"), (ii) the name of each person to whom
or in favor of whom the proposed Transfer is to be made (the "REFUSAL
TRANSFEREE") and (iii) a description of the consideration to be received by the
Transferor upon Transfer of the Refusal Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
any Holder desires to Transfer any Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act, such Holder shall not be required to satisfy subsection (a)(ii)
herein. The Refusal Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the third party
written offer (for purposes of this SECTION 4, an executed letter of intent
stating the terms of such offer, or incorporating by reference therein a
separate summary of terms which shall be deemed a written offer). No offer
(covered by this SECTION 4) to Transfer to a Transferee shall be permissible,
unless the consideration for the Transfer involved consists solely of cash.

                  (b) TRANSFERS BY OCM ENTITY. Prior to an OCM Entity Transfer
Termination Event, if an OCM Entity intends in good faith to sell or otherwise
Transfer any OCM Transfer Securities to any Person, such OCM Entity shall
deliver to WES&S, concurrently with the delivery of the Refusal Notice, a
written offer to sell (the "OCM ENTITY OFFER") all, but not less than all, of
such Refusal Securities which are the subject of the Refusal Notice. Each OCM
Entity Offer shall contain the same terms and conditions, and shall be for the
same consideration, as described in the Refusal Notice. Within five (5) Business
Days after the Refusal Notice is delivered to WES&S, WES&S may, by written
notice delivered to such OCM Entity (a "WES&S ACCEPTANCE NOTICE"), accept the
offer to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Refusal Securities as
described in the Refusal Notice. Transfers of OCM Transfer Securities to WES&S
pursuant to offers made and accepted in accordance with this SECTION 4 shall
occur simultaneously on a Business Day not more than thirty (30) days after the
date on which the WES&S Acceptance Notice is delivered to such OCM Entity. If
WES&S breaches its obligation to purchase the Refusal Securities which are the
subject of the Refusal Notice within thirty (30) days of the date on which the
WES&S Acceptance Notice is delivered to such OCM Entity, (i) WES&S shall forfeit
(A) any and all future rights of first refusal with respect to the OCM Transfer
Securities and (B) any and all future rights of first refusal with respect to
any proposed Transfer of Securities pursuant to SECTION 4(D) hereof, and (ii)
except as provided in SECTION 4(F) hereof such failure shall constitute a WES&S
Purchase Default.

(c) TRANSFERS BY WES&S. Prior to a WES&S Transfer Termination Event, if
WES&S intends in good faith to sell or otherwise Transfer any WES&S Transfer
Securities to any Person, WES&S shall deliver to each OCM Entity, concurrently
with the delivery of the Refusal Notice, a written offer to sell (the "WES&S
OFFER") all, but not less than all, of such Refusal Securities which are the
subject of the Refusal Notice. Each WES&S Offer shall contain the same terms and
conditions, and shall be for the same consideration, as described in the Refusal
Notice. Within five (5) Business Days after the Refusal Notice is delivered to
each OCM Entity, each OCM Entity may, by written notice delivered to WES&S (an
"OCM ENTITY ACCEPTANCE NOTICE"), accept the offer to acquire all, but not less
than all, of the Refusal Securities as described in the Refusal Notice; PROVIDED
HOWEVER, that if each OCM Entity elects to submit an OCM Entity Acceptance
Notice, the WES&S Transfer Securities to be so purchased shall be allocated to
each OCM Entity on such basis as may be agreed upon by the OCM Entities.
Transfers of WES&S Transfer Securities to an OCM Entity pursuant to offers made
and accepted in accordance with this SECTION 4 shall occur simultaneously on a
Business Day not

<PAGE>

more than thirty (30) days after the date on which the OCM Entity Acceptance
Notice is delivered to WES&S. If either OCM Entity breaches its obligation to
purchase the Refusal Securities which are the subject of the Refusal Notice
within thirty (30) days of the date on which the OCM Entity Acceptance Notice is
delivered to WES&S, (i) both OCM Entities shall forfeit (A) any and all future
rights of first refusal with respect to the WES&S Transfer Securities and (B)
any and all future rights of first refusal with respect to any proposed Transfer
of Securities pursuant to SECTION 4(D) hereof, and (ii) except as provided in
SECTION 4(F) hereof such failure shall constitute an OCM Entity Purchase
Default.

                  (d) TRANSFERS BY HOLDERS. Prior to a Qualified Public Offering
(and in the case of Myers, if earlier, May 2, 2002), if any Holder (other than
an OCM Entity and WES&S), subject to the transfer restrictions, if any, as set
forth in the terms of such Holder's Warrant, intends in good faith to sell or
otherwise Transfer any Securities to any Person, such Holder shall deliver to
the Company, concurrently with the delivery of the Refusal Notice, a written
offer to sell (the "COMPANY OFFER") all, but not less than all, of such Refusal
Securities which are the subject of the Refusal Notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that
if any such Holder intends to Transfer any Securities to the Company pursuant to
the terms of such Holder's employment or subscription agreement, such Holder
shall not be required to deliver a Refusal Notice pursuant to this subsection
(d). Each Company Offer shall contain the same terms and conditions, and shall
be for the same cash consideration, as described in the Refusal Notice. Within
five (5) Business Days after the Refusal Notice is delivered to the Company, the
Company may, by written notice delivered to such proposed Transferor (a "COMPANY
ACCEPTANCE Notice"), accept the offer to acquire all, but not less than all, of
the Refusal Securities as described in the Refusal Notice. If the Company does
not return the Company Acceptance Notice within the required five (5) Business
Day period, the proposed Transferor shall deliver to each OCM Entity and WES&S,
concurrently with the delivery of a Refusal Notice ("RE-OFFER NOTICE") a written
offer to sell (the "RE-OFFER") all but not less than all of such Refusal
Securities which are the subject of the Refusal Notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the proposed Transferor shall not be obligated to deliver a Re-Offer Notice to
an OCM Entity or WES&S to the extent that their respective rights of first
refusal have expired as set forth in SECTIONS 4(B) AND (C) hereof. Within five
(5) Business Days after the Re-Offer Notice is delivered to each OCM Entity and
WES&S, each OCM Entity and WES&S may, by written notice delivered to such
proposed Transferor (a "RE-OFFER ACCEPTANCE NOTICE"), accept the offer to
acquire all, but not less than all, of the Refusal Securities as described in
the Re-Offer Notice. Each of the Company, each OCM Entity and WES&S, as
applicable, shall be required to complete the purchase of the Refusal Securities
which are the subject of the applicable acceptance notice referred to in this
SECTION 4(D) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable acceptance
notice by the proposed Transferor. If more than one of WES&S and the OCM
Entities elect to submit a Re-Offer Acceptance Notice, the Securities to be so
purchased shall be allocated to each entity which has submitted a Re-Offer
Acceptance Notice Pro-Rata based upon the relative number of Preferred Stock
owned by each such entity as of such date in the event of a Re-Offer Acceptance
Notice relating to Preferred Stock and the relative number of Securities other
than Preferred Stock owned by each such entity as of said date in the event of a
Re-Offer Acceptance Notice relating to Securities other than Preferred Stock.

<PAGE>

                  (e) ELECTION OF TRANSFEROR. In the event that an Offeree does
not agree to purchase all of the Refusal Securities offered for sale to such
Offeree by a Transferor, such Transferor has the right at such Transferor's
election to (i) transfer the Refusal Securities to a third party in accordance
with the terms of SECTION 4(F) below.

                  (f) TRANSFERS TO THIRD PARTIES. If the Transfer of Refusal
Securities to an Offeree is not completed within the period set forth in
SECTIONS 4(B), (C) OR (D), as applicable, then such Transferor has the right to
complete a sale transaction with a third party; PROVIDED, that the consideration
received by such Transferor in respect of any such Transfer is not less than the
consideration proposed by the Refusal Notice. Notwithstanding any forfeiture of
future refusal rights as set forth in SECTIONS 4(B) AND (C), if such Transfer
transaction with a third party is not completed within ninety (90) days of the
date the Refusal Notice is received by each OCM Entity, WES&S or the Company, as
the case may be, then each OCM Entity, WES&S or the Company, as the case may be,
shall have the rights of first refusal with respect to any subsequent proposed
sale of Securities covered by this SECTION 4.

                  (g) TRANSFER OF SHARES. Transfers of Securities pursuant to
offers made and accepted in accordance with this SECTION 4 shall be made subject
to and in accordance with SECTION 2. Any Transfer made in violation of this
SECTION 4 shall be void and of no force and effect.

                  SECTION 5. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

                  SECTION 6. DRAG-ALONG. (a) QUALIFIED SALE. If prior to a
Qualified Public Offering, (i) the Company agrees to be sold, merged or
liquidated pursuant to a Qualified Sale and (ii) such Qualified Sale is approved
by more than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
entitled to vote on such transaction, then all Holders (other than Public
Transferees), shall be deemed to have consented to such Qualified Sale and shall
execute such documents to confirm such consent.

                  (b) COMMON STOCK SALE. If, at any time prior to the
consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the Holders holding shares in
excess of eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (the
"SELLING COMMON HOLDERS") elect to sell such shares of Common Stock to the
Company or a third party (other than an OCM Entity, WES&S, an OCM Affiliate, a
TCW Affiliate or a WES&S Affiliate) (an "ACQUIROR"), then the Acquiror shall
have the right, at its option, to purchase from the Holders other than the
Selling Common Holders and any Public Transferees (the "NON-SELLING COMMON
HOLDERS"), the same Pro-Rata portion of Securities (other than Preferred Stock)
as is being acquired from the Selling Common Holders at the same price per
Security (other than Preferred Stock), with the same form of consideration and
upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice (as
defined below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the price paid to any warrantholder
shall be the price paid by the Acquiror for each share of Common Stock less any
exercise price payable by such warrantholder.

                  (c) PREFERRED STOCK SALE. If at any time the Holders holding
shares in excess of eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock (the "SELLING

<PAGE>

                  PREFERRED HOLDERS") elect to sell such shares of Preferred
Stock to an Acquiror, then the Acquiror shall have the right, at its option, to
purchase from the Holders other than the Selling Preferred Holders and any
Public Transferees (the "NON-SELLING PREFERRED HOLDERS"), the same Pro-Rata
portion of Preferred Stock as is being acquired from the Selling Preferred
Holders at the same price per share of Preferred Stock, with the same form of
consideration and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the
Transfer Notice (as defined below).

                  (d) EXERCISE OF RIGHTS. To exercise this drag-along right, the
Selling Common Holders or Selling Preferred Holders shall provide written notice
(a "TRANSFER NOTICE") to each Non-Selling Common Holder or Non-Selling Preferred
Holder, respectively, ten (10) Business Days following any such Transfer of
Common Stock or Preferred Stock, respectively, explaining the terms of such
offer and identifying the name and address of the Acquiror. If the Acquiror
exercises its right to purchase a portion, but not all, of the Securities owned
by the Non-Selling Common Holders or Non-Selling Preferred Holder, as
applicable, then such Acquiror shall purchase a Pro Rata portion of the
Securities from each such Non-Selling Common Holder or Non-Selling Preferred
Holder, respectively, within twenty (20) Business Days following the sale of
Securities by the Selling Common Holder or Selling Preferred Holder, as
applicable.

                  SECTION 7. TAG-ALONG. Prior to a Qualified Public Offering, if
Holders (other than Public Transferees) holding shares in excess of seventy-five
percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (the "SELLING HOLDERS")
elect to sell, dispose of or otherwise Transfer such shares of Common Stock to a
third party (other than an OCM Entity, WES&S, an OCM Affiliate, a TCW Affiliate
or a WES&S Affiliate)(the "ACQUIROR"), then, at least twenty (20) days prior to
any such Transfer by the Selling Holders of any Common Stock, the Selling
Holders shall provide to each Holder other than a Selling Holder and Public
Transferee (a "NON-SELLING HOLDER") a written notice (a "TRANSFER NOTICE")
explaining the terms of such transfer and identifying the name and address of
the potential Acquiror. Upon receipt of such Transfer Notice, each such
Non-Selling Holder shall have the right, upon delivery of a written request to
the Selling Holders within twenty (20) days of the date the Transfer Notice is
received by such Non-Selling Holder, to cause the potential Acquiror to purchase
from such Non-Selling Holder a Pro-Rata portion of the Securities other than
Preferred Stock which are proposed to be sold by the Selling Holders (on a
fully-diluted basis) in the Transfer Notice at the same price and on the same
terms and conditions contained in the Transfer Notice delivered in connection
with such proposed transaction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the price paid to any
warrantholder shall be the price paid by the Acquiror for each share of Common
Stock less any exercise price payable by such warrantholder.

Directors of the Company shall at all times consist of at least five (5) members
or such greater number that shall be needed to satisfy the terms of this SECTION

on the Board by the death, removal (with or without cause) or resignation of any
one of the Directors, no action shall be taken by the Board until the Board is
reconstituted with the appropriate number of directors. Only OCM or an OCM

resignation, removal (with or without cause) or death of such OCM Director or
OCM Entity Termination Director. Only TCW or a TCW Affiliate shall have the

employees of OCM, TCW or WES&S shall not be entitled to compensation (other than
reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
board meetings or director-related activities); PROVIDED HOWEVER, that if
directors who are either employees of the Company or are newly admitted
directors after the Closing Date receive additional compensation in their
capacity as directors, then such OCM Directors, TCW Director, WES&S Directors,
OCM Entity Termination Directors or WES&S Termination Directors shall be
entitled to receive an equivalent consideration. Within sixty (60) days of the
Closing Date, the Company shall secure for the benefit of all Directors and
Officers liability coverage from a reputable insurer selected by the Company
with coverages which are not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and
deductibles which are customary for companies of comparable size. If the Company
shall ever fail to pay when due any premium or other charge with respect to such
insurance coverage, or otherwise fail to renew such coverage, any Holder may pay
such premium or charge, or renew such coverage, and the Company shall promptly
reimburse such Holder.

                  (f) ADDITIONAL OCM ENTITY RIGHTS. So long as an OCM Entity

                  the party receiving such documents or information, (b) in the

be responsible for reviewing the scope of the Company's independent auditors'
examination of the Company's financial statements and receiving and reviewing
their reports, and a compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the
"COMPENSATION COMMITTEE"), which shall be responsible and have authority for
determining the Company's policies with respect to the nature and amount of all
compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers and administering
the Company's benefit plans and shall also have the authority to issue shares of
capital stock or any other equity or debt security, or option or security
convertible into equity or debt securities, of the Company. Prior to a Voting
Termination Event each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee
shall consist of two members, one of whom shall be an OCM Director that is
designated for membership on

<PAGE>

or on behalf of the holders of Common Stock shall require an affirmative vote of
a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote.

certificate evidencing any Securities shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:

         "The [shares][warrant] evidenced by this certificate [and the shares of
         Common Stock into which any Warrant represented hereby is convertible]
         are subject to that certain [a Warrant, dated as of _________,]
         [Subscription Agreement, dated as of _________,] [Employee Stock
         Purchase Plan, dated as of ________,] [Preferred Stock Purchase
         Agreement, dated as of _______,] a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of
         ________, and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of ___________
         copies of which are on file at the principal office of the Company and
         will be furnished to the holder on request to the Secretary of the
         Company. Such [Warrant,] [Subscription Agreement] [Employee Stock
         Purchase Plan] [Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement] Stockholders
         Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement provide, among other
         things, for certain restrictions on voting, sale, transfer, pledge,
         hypothecation or other disposition of the (securities) [warrant]
         evidenced by this certificate [and the shares of Common Stock
         purchasable upon exercise of the warrant] and that such securities may
         be subject to purchase by the Company as well as certain other persons
         upon the occurrence of certain events. Any issuance, sale, assignment,
         transfer or other disposition of the securities evidenced by this
         certificate to persons who are not party to such Stockholders Agreement
         shall be null and void."

         In addition, unless counsel to the Company has advised the Company that
such legend is no longer needed, each certificate evidencing the Securities
shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

         "The securities [warrant] evidenced by this certificate [and the shares
         of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrant] have not been
         registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
         "Act"), or any state securities law, and such securities [warrant] may
         not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed

<PAGE>

         of unless the same are registered and qualified in accordance with the
         Act and any applicable state securities laws, or in the opinion of
         counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company such registration and
         qualification are not required."

                  (b) REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any certificate evidencing any Securities, and (in the case of
loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate or receipt of such
indemnity, the Company will execute, register and deliver a new certificate of
like tenor in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

                  SECTION 11. REPRESENTATIONS. Each Holder represents that such
Holder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of issued and
outstanding Securities appearing opposite such Holder's name in Exhibit A
attached hereto, free and clear of any option, lien, encumbrance or charge of
any kind whatsoever.

                  SECTION 12. EQUITABLE RELIEF. The parties hereto agree and
declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and
injunctive relief, may be used to enforce such provisions.
