(REVERSE OF NOTE)

ORACLE CORPORATION

Floating Rate Note due 2009

     1.      Interest.

     The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum
described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from January 13, 2006. The Issuer will
pay interest quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing July 13, 2006.
Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in an interest period and a
360-day year.

     The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate
borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
periods) to the extent lawful.

     The interest rate for each interest period will be determined by the calculation agent.
Initially, Citibank, N.A. will act as calculation agent. The Issuer may change any calculation
agent without notice to the Holders. The interest rate for a particular interest period will be a
per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined on the interest determination date plus
0.23%. The interest determination date for an interest period will be the second London business
day preceding such interest period.

     A London business day is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in
the London interbank market.

     On any interest determination date, LIBOR will be equal to the offered rate for deposits in
U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such
rate appears on “Telerate Page 3750” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest
determination date. If on an interest determination date, such rate does not appear on the
“Telerate Page 3750” as of 11:00 a.m. (London time), or if the “Telerate Page 3750” is not
available on such date, the Trustee will obtain such rate from Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM.”

     If no offered rate appears on “Telerate Page 3750” or Bloomberg L.P. page “BBAM” on an
interest determination date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the calculation agent
(after consultation with the Issuer) will select four major banks in the London interbank market
and shall request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at
which three-

 

 

month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime
banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is representative of
single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the
arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the calculation agent will select three
major banks in New York City and shall request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate
offered by them at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the interest determination date
for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months for
the applicable interest period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single
transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average
of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the rate of LIBOR for the next interest period will be set
equal to the rate of LIBOR for the then current interest period.

     Upon request from any Holder, the calculation agent will provide the interest rate in effect
on the Notes for the current interest period and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to
be in effect for the next interest period.

     Dollar amounts resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with
one-half cent being rounded upward.

     2.      Paying Agent.

     Initially, Citibank, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Issuer may change any
paying agent without notice to the Holders.

     3.      Indenture; Defined Terms.

     This Note is one of the Floating Rate Notes due 2009 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture,
dated as of January 13, 2006, among the Company, Oracle Systems
Corporation and the Trustee, and an Officers’
Certificate dated January 13, 2006, issued pursuant to Section 2.01 and Section 2.03 thereto
(together, the “Indenture”). This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the
Indenture.

     For purposes of this Note, the “Issuer” means the Company. Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of
the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in
effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to
the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and
this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

 

     4.      Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

     The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and multiples of
$1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the
Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental
charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue,
authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of
fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the
transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

     5.      Registration Rights

     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement,
dated January 13, 2006, between the Company, Oracle Systems
Corporation and the Initial Purchasers named
therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The interest rate on this Note will increase by a
rate of 0.25% per annum upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Registration Rights
Agreement for the periods specified therein.

     6.      Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the
Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance
with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of Outstanding Securities (including the
Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a
single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or
supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Holder of a Note.

     7.      Redemption.

     The Issuer may at its option redeem any of the Notes in whole or in part at any time on or
after January 16, 2007, at the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued interest.

     Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment
of the redemption price, on and after the

 

 

redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be
selected by lot by the Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or by the
Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of Notes that are not
represented by a Global Note.

     8.      Defaults and Remedies.

     If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the
Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee
may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount
of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a
bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not
obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably
requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain
continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.

     9.      Authentication.

     This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of
authentication on this Note.

     10.      Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as:
TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with
right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform
Gifts to Minors Act).

     11.      CUSIP Numbers.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the
Holders of the Notes. No

 

 

representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

     12.      Governing Law.

     The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Note thereof.

those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust

effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to
the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and

dated January 13, 2006, between the Company,  Oracle Systems

     6.      Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the
Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance
with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of Outstanding Securities (including the
Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a

supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Holder of a Note.

     7.      Redemption.

     The Issuer may at its option redeem any of the Notes in whole or in part at any time, each at
a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of:

     (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and

 

 

     (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of
redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points,

plus in each case accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on
interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest
payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date
according to the Notes and the Indenture.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of
four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than
four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if
only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

     “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc. or Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury
Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall
cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”), the obligor will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other
Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

 

 

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

     Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment
of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed,
the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Depositary, in the case of Notes
represented by a Global Note, or by the Trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and
appropriate, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a Global Note.

     8.     Defaults and Remedies.

     If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the
Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee
may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount
of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a
bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not
obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably
requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain
continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.

     9.     Authentication.

     This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of
authentication on this Note.

     10.     Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in
common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

     11.     CUSIP Numbers.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification

(REVERSE OF NOTE)

ORACLE CORPORATION

5.25% Note due 2016

     1.     Interest.

     The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum
shown above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from January 13, 2006. The Issuer will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing July 15, 2006.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in a manner
consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the NASD Uniform Practice Code.

     The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate
borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
periods) to the extent lawful.

     2.     Paying Agent.

     Initially, Citibank, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as paying agent. The Issuer may change any
paying agent without notice to the Holders.

     3.     Indenture; Defined Terms.

     This Note is one of the 5.25% Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture, dated as
of January 13, 2006, among the Company, Oracle Systems
Corporation and the Trustee, and an Officers’ Certificate
dated January 13, 2006, issued pursuant to Section 2.01 and Section 2.03 thereto (together, the
“Indenture”). This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.

     For purposes of this Note, the “Issuer” means the Company. Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of
the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in
effect on the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and holders of Notes are referred to
the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and
this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

 

     4.     Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

     The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and multiples of
$1,000. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the
Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental
charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue,
authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of
fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the
transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

5.     Registration Rights

     The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement,
dated January 13, 2006, between the Company, Oracle Systems
Corporation and the Initial Purchasers named
therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The interest rate on this Note will increase by a
rate of 0.25% per annum upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Registration Rights
Agreement for the periods specified therein.

     6.     Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the
Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance
with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of Outstanding Securities (including the
Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting as a
single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or
supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Holder of a Note.

     7.     Redemption.

     The Issuer may at its option redeem any of the Notes in whole or in part at any time, each at
a redemption price calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of:

     (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, and

     (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of
redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points,
plus in each case accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

 

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on
interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest
payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date
according to the Notes and the Indenture.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of
four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than
four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if
only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

     “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc. or Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury
Dealers) and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall
cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”), the obligor will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) any other
Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal
amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

     Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Issuer defaults in payment
of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed,
the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the

 

 

     Depositary, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, or by the Trustee by a method
the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate, in the case of Notes that are not represented by a
Global Note.

     8.     Defaults and Remedies.

     If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the
Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee
may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes, shall by written notice, require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount
of the Outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a
bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not
obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it reasonably
requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain
continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest.

     9.     Authentication.

     This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of
authentication on this Note.

     10.     Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as:
TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with
right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform
Gifts to Minors Act).

     11.     CUSIP Numbers.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the
Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on
the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

     12.     Governing Law.

     The laws of the State of New York shall govern the Indenture and this Note thereof.

                                                      _______, 2005

To: The Person whose name is
    set forth on the signature page hereof

Dear Sir or Madam:

            You have entered into a Management Stockholder's Agreement, dated as
of the date hereof, between Affinia Group Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and you (the "Stockholder's Agreement") relating to (i) the
granting to you by the Company of the Options (as defined in the Stockholder's
Agreement) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common
Stock") and (ii) the purchase by you of the Purchased Stock (as defined in the
Stockholder's Agreement). Terms used in this Agreement but not defined in this
Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned such terms in the
Stockholder's Agreement. The undersigned, Cypress Merchant Banking Partners II
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Cypress Onshore"), Cypress Merchant
Banking II C.V., a limited partnership formed under the laws of The Netherlands
("Cypress Offshore"), 55th Street Partners II L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("55th Street"), Cypress Side-By-Side L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company ("Side by Side"), hereby agree with you as follows, effective
upon the Effective Time:

            1.    In the event that at any time Cypress Onshore, Cypress
Offshore, 55th Street or Side by Side (together with any of its Affiliates, to
the extent provided for in Paragraph 8 hereof, the "Selling Investors") proposes
to sell for cash or any other consideration more than 25% of the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock owned by them from time to time in any
transaction other than (i) a Public Offering or (ii) a sale to an Affiliate of
the Selling Investors, the Selling Investors will notify you or your Management
Stockholder's Estate or Management Stockholder's Trust (collectively with you,
the "Management Stockholder Entities"), as the case may be, in writing (a
"Notice") of such proposed sale (a "Proposed Sale") and the material terms of
the Proposed Sale as of the date of the Notice (the "Material Terms") promptly,
and in any event not less than 30 days prior to the consummation of the Proposed
Sale and not more than five days after the execution of the definitive agreement
relating to the Proposed Sale, if any (the "Sale Agreement"). If, within 10 days
after the Management Stockholder Entities' receipt of such Notice, the Selling
Investors receive from the Management Stockholder Entities a written request (a
"Request") to include Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities
in the Proposed Sale (which Request shall be irrevocable unless (a) there shall
be a material adverse change in the Material Terms or (b) otherwise mutually
agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder Entities and the Selling
Investor(s)), the Common Stock held by you will be so included as provided
herein; provided that only one Request, which shall be executed by the
Management Stockholder Entities, may be delivered with respect to any Proposed
Sale for Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities. Promptly
after the execution of the Sale Agreement, the Selling Investors will furnish
the Management Stockholder Entities with a copy of the Sale Agreement, if any.

                                                                               2

            2.    (a) The number of shares of Common Stock which the Management
Stockholder Entities will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale pursuant to
a Request will be the product of (i) the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock then owned by the Management Stockholder Entities (and held pursuant to
the Stockholder's Agreement) plus all shares of Common Stock which you are then
entitled to acquire under any unexercised portions of the Options, to the extent
such portions are then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of
the consummation of the Proposed Sale, multiplied by (ii) a fraction (A) the
numerator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
proposed to be purchased by the buyer in the Proposed Sale and (B) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock owned,
or which would be owned upon exercise of any exercisable portion of the Options
(to the extent any such portions of the Options are then exercisable or would
become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale), by the
Selling Investors, the Management Stockholder Entities and other holders of
shares of Common Stock who have been granted the same rights granted to the
Management Stockholder Entities to participate in the Proposed Sale (an
"Eligible Holder"), as the case may be.

            (b)   If one or more Eligible Holders elect not to include the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock which such holders would have been
permitted to include in a Proposed Sale pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) (such
non-included shares, the "Eligible Shares"), then each of the Selling Investors,
the Management Stockholder Entities or the remaining Eligible Holders, or any of
them, will have the right to sell in the Proposed Sale a number of additional
shares of their Common Stock equal to their pro rata portion of the number of
Eligible Shares, based on the relative number of shares of Common Stock then
held by each such holder plus all shares of Common Stock which each such holder
would then be entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of the Options,
to the extent such portions are then exercisable or would become exercisable as
a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, and such additional shares of
Common Stock which any such holder or holders propose to sell shall not be
included in any calculation made pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) for the purpose of
determining the number of shares of Common Stock which the Management
Stockholder Entities will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale. The
Selling Investors, or any of them, will have the right to sell in the Proposed
Sale additional shares of Common Stock owned by them equal to the number, if
any, of remaining Eligible Shares after giving effect to the foregoing.

            3.    Except as may otherwise be provided herein, shares of Common
Stock subject to a Request will be included in a Proposed Sale pursuant hereto
and in any agreements with purchasers relating thereto on the same terms and
subject to the same conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock which
the Selling Investors propose to sell in the Proposed Sale. Such terms and
conditions shall include, without limitation: the pro rata reduction of the
number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Investors, the
Management Stockholder Entities and any Eligible Holders to be included in the
Proposed Sale if required by the party proposing such Sale; the sale price; the
form of consideration; the payment of fees, commissions and expenses; the
provision of, and representation and warranty as to, information reasonably
requested by the Selling Investors covering matters regarding the Management
Stockholder Entities' ownership of shares; and the provision of requisite
indemnification; provided that any indemnification provided by the Management
Stockholder Entities shall be a several and not joint obligation and pro rata
(based on the consideration you and the Management Stockholder

                                                                               3

Entities receive in such Proposed Sale relative to Cypress and the other holders
of equity or options).

            4.    Upon delivering a Request, the Management Stockholder Entities
will, if requested by the Selling Investors, execute and deliver a custody
agreement and power of attorney in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Selling Investors with respect to the shares of Common Stock which are to be
sold by the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant hereto (a "Custody
Agreement and Power of Attorney"). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney
will contain customary provisions and will provide, among other things, that the
Management Stockholder Entities will deliver to and deposit in custody with the
custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (if
such shares are certificated) representing such shares of Common Stock (duly
endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof) and irrevocably
appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder
Entities' agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under
the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder
Entities' behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

            5.    The Management Stockholder Entities' right pursuant hereto to
participate in a Proposed Sale shall be contingent on the Management Stockholder
Entities' respective willingness to execute such documents in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Selling Investors.

            6.    (a) In the event of a Proposed Sale pursuant to Section 1
hereof, the Selling Investors may elect, by so specifying in the Notice, to
require the Management Stockholder Entities to, and the Management Stockholder
Entities shall, participate in such Proposed Sale to the same extent calculated
pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) above, in accordance with the terms and provisions of
Paragraph 3 hereof; provided, however, that in such event, the order in which
the shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities shall be
required to be sold shall be: first, any shares of Common Stock then held by the
Management Stockholder Entities that constitute Purchased Stock; and second, any
shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of any exercisable
portion of the Options.

            (b)   In the event of a transaction which results in a Change in
Control (but is not a Proposed Sale in which the Selling Investors have
exercised their rights pursuant to Paragraph 6(a) or the Management Stockholder
Entities have exercised their rights pursuant to Paragraph 1 (a "Proposed
Transaction")), you agree, for yourself and on behalf of the Management
Stockholder Entities, to bear, on a several and not joint basis, your share of
any fees, commissions, adjustments to purchase price, expenses or indemnities
borne by the Selling Investors on a pro rata basis (based on the consideration
you and the Management Stockholder Entities receive in such Change in Control
relative to Cypress and the other holders of equity or options).

            7.    The obligations of the Selling Investors hereunder shall
extend only to the Management Stockholder Entities, and none of the Management
Stockholder Entities' successors or assigns shall have any rights pursuant
hereto.

                                                                               4

            8.    If the Selling Investors or any of them transfer any of their
interests in the Company to an Affiliate of any of the Selling Investors, as a
condition precedent to such transfer, such Affiliate shall agree in writing to
assume the obligations hereunder of the Selling Investors.

            9.    This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect on the occurrence of a Qualified Public Offering.

            10.   All notices and other communications provided for herein shall
be in writing. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly
given (i) upon electronic confirmation of facsimile, (ii) one business day
following the date sent when sent by overnight delivery and (iii) five business
