regulation, and, specifically, may require Developer to provide evidence
satisfactory to the Company that the Shares are being acquired only for
investment purposes and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
shares in violation of any federal or state securities or other laws or
regulations.

                   .2  Investor Representations and Warranties. In connection
                       ---------------------------------------
with the grant of the Shares, the Developer represents and warrants to the
Company that:

          pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for the Developer's own
          accounts and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof
          in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
          laws, and the Shares will not be disposed of in contravention of the
          Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

                       4.5.2.2  the Developer is familiar with the term
          "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act
          and the Developer is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
          such term in Rule 501 under the Securities Act;

                       4.5.2.3  the Developer is sophisticated in financial
         matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the
         investment in the Common Stock;

                       4.5.2.4  the Developer is able to bear the economic risk
         of its investment in the Common Stock constituting the Shares for an
         indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered
         under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless
         subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
         such registration is available;

                       4.5.2.5  is Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and
         binding obligation of the Developer, enforceable in accordance with its
         terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
         the Developer does not and will not conflict with or violate any law,
         regulation, judgment, order or decree to which Developer is subject
         which would have a material adverse effect on Developer; and

                       4.5.2.6  the Developer is not an "investment company" or
         a person directly or indirectly controlled by or acting on behalf of a
         "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act
         of 1940, as amended.

                   .3  Financial Information. Unless notified by Developer to
                       ---------------------
the contrary, the Subsidiary shall provide to Developer (so long as Subsidiary
is not a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) audited annual financial information and unaudited quarterly financial
information (each including a balance sheet as of such period end date, and
statements of cash-flows and statements of operations of Subsidiary for such
period).

                   .4  California Corporate Securities Law. The grant of the
                       -----------------------------------
securities which are the subject of this Agreement has not been qualified with
the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California and the issuance of
such securities or the payment or receipt of any part of the consideration
therefor prior to such qualification is unlawful, unless an exemption from such
qualification is available. The rights of all parties to this Agreement are
expressly conditioned upon such qualification being obtained, or such exemption
being available.

(a) If the Company shall  receive at any time after the  Company's  initial
underwritten public offering of its Common Stock (so long as such request is not
within 180 days after the effective  date of a registration  statement  filed by
the Company  covering an  underwritten  offering of any of its securities to the
general  public)  a written  request  from  Developer  that the  Company  file a
registration statement registering  Registrable Securities constituting at least
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities held by the Developer on
the date hereof, then the Company will:

(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed  registration to all other
Holders holding Registrable Securities; and

(ii)  as  soon  as  practicable,  use  its  best  efforts  to  effect  such
registration,  on Form S-3 or successor form replacing Form S-3, if practicable,
(including,  without limitation,  filing post-effective amendments,  appropriate
qualifications  under  applicable blue sky or other state  securities  laws, and
appropriate  compliance  with the Securities  Act) as would permit or facilitate
the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable  Securities
as are  specified  in such  request,  together  with all or such  portion of the
Registrable  Securities  of any Holder or Holders  joining in such  request  (as
permitted  hereunder)  as are  specified  in a written  request  received by the
Company within ten (10) business days after such written notice from the Company
is mailed or delivered.

         Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions,  the Company  shall not be
obligated  to effect,  or to take any action to  effect,  any such  registration
pursuant to this Section 3 if:
                 ---------

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

(B) the Company has initiated one  registration  pursuant to Section 3.1(a)
                                                             --------------
(counting for these purposes only (1) a registration  which has been declared or
ordered  effective  and  pursuant to which  securities  have been sold and (2) a
registration  which has been withdrawn by the initiating Holders as to which the
Holders have not paid the Registration  Expenses  pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof
                                                              -----------
and were required to bear such expenses);

                                       4
<PAGE>

(C) such request for registration is made during the period starting with the
date sixty (60) days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of
filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the
effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; provided that the Company
                                                     --------
is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective;

(b) Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (C), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request of Developer (or
its transferees), as the case may be; provided, however, that if (i) in the good
                                      --------  -------
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of
                                                              --------
Directors"), such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and
---------
the Board of Directors concludes, as a result, that it is essential to defer the
filing of such registration statement at such time, and (ii) the Company shall
furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed
in the near future and that it is, therefore, essential to defer the filing of
such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer such
filing (except as provided in clause (C) above) for a period of not more than
one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Developer (or
its permitted Affiliate transferees), as the case may be, and, provided further,
                                                               -------- -------
that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in
any twelve-month period.

         The  registration  statement  filed  pursuant  to  the  request  of the
Developer (or its transferees) may, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1(d)
                                                                 ---------------
and 3.9 hereof,  include other securities of the Company,  with respect to which
    ---
registration rights have been granted, and may include securities of the Company
being sold for the account of the Company.

(c)  Underwriting.  The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section
                                                                        -------
3.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting
---
the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
extent provided herein and such other restrictions as may be reasonably imposed
by the underwriter.

(d)  Procedures.  The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in
interest of the initiating Holder(s), which underwriters are reasonably
acceptable to the Company. If the Company shall request inclusion in any
registration pursuant to Section 3.1 of securities being sold for its own
                         -----------
account, or if other persons shall request inclusion in any registration
pursuant to Section 3.1, the initiating Holder(s) shall, on behalf of all
            -----------
Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and may condition
such offer on their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this
Section 3 (including Section 3.9). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
---------            -----------
Section 3.1, if the  representative  of the underwriters  advises the initiating
-----------
Holder(s) in writing that marketing  factors  require a limitation on the number
of shares to be  underwritten,  the  number  of  shares  to be  included  in the
underwriting  or  registration  shall be  allocated  as set forth in Section 3.9
                                                                     -----------

                                       5
<PAGE>

hereof;  provided that the Holder(s)  exercising its demand  registration rights
         --------
under this Section 3.1 shall first be entitled to register all of its securities
           -----------
subject to such  request  before any other person or entity shall be entitled to
include securities in such offering.  If a person who has requested inclusion in
such  registration  as  provided  above  does not agree to the terms of any such
underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the
Company, the underwriter or the initiating Holder(s). The securities so excluded
shall also be withdrawn from registration.  Any Registrable  Securities or other
securities  excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn
from such registration.  If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if
the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously  reduced
as a result of  marketing  factors  pursuant to this  Section  3.1(d),  then the
                                                      ---------------
Company  shall  offer  to all  Holders  who  have  retained  rights  to  include
securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in the
registration in an aggregate  amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn,
with such  shares to be  allocated  among  such  Holders  requesting  additional
inclusion in accordance with Section 3.9.
                             -----------

3.2 Piggyback Registration.
    ----------------------

(a) If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for
its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their
respective demand registration rights (other than a registration relating solely
to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating to a corporate
reorganization or other transaction on Form S-4, or a registration on any
registration form that does not permit secondary sales), the Company will:

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

(ii) use its best efforts to include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in
Section 3.2(b) below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the
--------------
Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by any
Holder and received by the Company within ten (10) business days after the
written notice from the Company described in clause (i) above is mailed or
delivered by the Company. Such written request may specify all or a part of a
Holder's Registrable Securities.

(b) Underwriting.  If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for
a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so
advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section
                                                                     -------
3.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to
---------
this Section 3.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such
     -----------
underwriting, the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein and such other restrictions as may be
reasonably imposed by the underwriter and the Company. All Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the
Company and the other holders of securities of the Company with registration
rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.

         Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  Section  3.2,  if the
                                                           ------------
representative of the underwriters advises the Company in writing that marketing
factors  require a limitation on the

                                       6
<PAGE>

number of shares to be underwritten or the Company's Board of Directors
reasonably determines that the number of shares proposed to be registered must
be reduced in view of then existing market conditions, the Company shall be
required to include in the offering only that number of Registrable Securities
and Other Shares (as defined in Section 3.9 below) that the Board of Directors
                                -----------
determine in its sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering
(the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders
and Other Stockholders requesting to participate in such registration in
accordance with Section 3.9 hereof, or in such other proportions as shall
                -----------
mutually be agreed to be such selling Holders). If any person does not agree to
the terms of any such underwriting, he or she shall be excluded therefrom by
written notice from the Company or the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities
or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be
withdrawn from such registration.

         If shares are so withdrawn from the  registration  and if the number of
shares  of  Registrable  Securities  to be  included  in such  registration  was
previously  reduced as a result of  marketing  factors,  the Company  shall then
offer to all persons who have  retained the right to include  securities  in the
registration the right to include  additional  securities in the registration in
an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares
to be allocated among the persons requesting  additional inclusion in accordance
with Section 3.9 hereof.
     -----------

3.3  Expenses  of  Registration.  All  Registration  Expenses  incurred  in
     --------------------------
connection  with any  registration,  qualification  or  compliance  pursuant  to
Sections  3.1 or 3.2 hereof shall be borne by the  Company;  provided,  however,
-------------    ---                                         --------   -------
that  if the  Holders  bear  the  Registration  Expenses  for  any  registration
proceeding  begun  pursuant to Section  3.1 and  subsequently  withdrawn  by the
                               ------------
Holders  registering shares therein,  such registration  proceeding shall not be
counted as a requested registration pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof. Furthermore,
                                                ------------
in the event that a  withdrawal  by the Holders is based upon  material  adverse
information relating to the Company that is different from the information known
or  available  (upon  request  from the  Company or  otherwise)  to the  Holders
requesting  registration  at the time of their  request for  registration  under
Section 3.1, such  registration  shall not be treated as a counted  registration
------------
for  purposes  of Section  3.1  hereof,  even though the Holders do not bear the
                  ------------
Registration  Expenses for such  registration.  All Selling Expenses relating to
securities so registered  shall be borne by the holders of such  securities  pro
rata on the basis of the number of shares of  securities  so registered on their
behalf, as shall any other expenses in connection with the registration required
to be borne by the Holders of such securities.

3.4 Registration  Procedures.  In the case of each registration effected by
    ------------------------
the  Company  pursuant  to this  Section 3, the  Company  will keep each  Holder
                                 ---------
advised in  writing  as to the  initiation  of each  registration  and as to the
completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will use its best efforts to:

(a) Keep such registration effective for a period of ninety (90) days or until
the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the
registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided,
                                                                 --------
however, that (i) such 90-day period shall be extended for a period of time
-------
equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in
such

                                       7
<PAGE>

registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company; and (ii) in the case of any registration of
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a
continuous or delayed basis, such 90-day period shall be extended, if necessary,
to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable
Securities are sold, however in no event longer than two (2) years from the
effective date of the registration statement and provided that Rule 415, or any
                                                 --------
successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or
delayed basis for such period; and provided further that applicable rules under
                                   -------- -------
the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment
permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (A) includes any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (B) reflects
facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information
set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of
information required to be included in (A) and (B) above to be contained in
periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in
the registration statement;

(b) Prepare and file with the Commission 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;

(c) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto,
including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from
time to time may reasonably request;

(d) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be
listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed, if any;

(e) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities
registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all
such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of
such registration;

     (f) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration
statement  filed pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof,  the Company will enter into an
underwriting agreement in form reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale
of Common Stock.

3.5  Indemnification.
     ---------------

(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and
partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which
registration, qualification, or compliance has been effected pursuant to this
Section 3, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or
---------
actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based
on any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering
circular, or other document (including any related registration statement,
notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or
compliance, or based on any omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or

                                       8
<PAGE>

any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation
thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required
of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification, or
compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers,
directors, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling
such Holder, each such underwriter, and each person who controls any such
underwriter, as incurred, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such
claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the Company
                                           --------  -------
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss,
damage, liability, or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement
or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such
Holder or underwriter. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in
this Section 3.5(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 Company.

(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included
in the securities as to which such registration, qualification, or compliance is
being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers,
partners, legal counsel, and accountants, each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each Other
Stockholder, and each of their officers, directors, and partners, and each
person controlling such Other Stockholder, against all claims, losses, damages
and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such
Other Stockholders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and
accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons, as incurred, for any
legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating
or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to
the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other
document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by such Holder; provided, however, that the obligations of such
                               --------  -------
Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such
settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld); and provided further that in no event shall any
                                   -------- -------
indemnity under this Section 3.5(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering
                     --------------
received by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 (the
                                                      -----------
Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
-----------------
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
                                --------
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any
"                                    -------- -------
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the

                                       9
<PAGE>

Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 3, to the extent such
                                                 ---------
failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information
regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may
reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection
with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.5 is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the
one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or
expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined
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.

(e)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting agreement entered
into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with
the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall
control and the foregoing Section 3.5 shall have no further force and effect.
                          -----------

3.6  Information  by  Holder.   Each  Holder  of  Registrable  Securities  shall
     -----------------------
furnish  to  the  Company  such  information   regarding  such  Holder  and  the
distribution  proposed by such Holder as the Company may  reasonably  request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 3.

3.7 Transfer or  Assignment of  Registration  Rights. The rights  to  cause  the
    ------------------------------------------------
Company  to   register  a   Holder's   Registrable   Securities   (as  presently
constituted  and  subject to  subsequent  adjustments  for stock  splits,  stock
dividends,  reverse  stock  splits,  and the like) granted under Section 3.1 and
                                                                 -----------
under Section 3.2 may be transferred or assigned to a transferee or assignee (in
      -----------
accordance with Section 2 hereof) (a) who acquires at least twenty-five  percent
                ---------
(25%) of such Holder's Securities, which assignee or transferee is acceptable to
the Company (which  acceptance shall not be unreasonably  withheld) or (b) to an
Affiliate of Holder  regardless of the number of Securities  transferred to such
Affiliate;  provided that the Company is given written  notice at the time of or
            --------
within a reasonable time after said transfer or assignment, stating the name and
address of the proposed  transferee or assignee and  identifying  the securities
with  respect  to which  such

                                      10

registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further,
                                                           -------- -------
that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the
obligations of such Holder under this Section 3.

3.8 "Lock-Up" Agreement. If requested by the Company or any representative of an
     ------------------

                                                                 -------------
requested  to  be  included  in  a  registration  on behalf  of  the  Holders or
Other  Stockholders  cannot be so  included  as a result of  limitations  of the
aggregate  number of shares of Registrable  Securities and Other Shares that may
be so included,  the number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares
that  may be so  included  shall  be  allocated  among  the  Holders  and  Other
Stockholders  requesting inclusion of shares pro rata on the basis of the number
of shares of Registrable  Securities and Other Shares such parties  requested to
have registered in such offering;  provided, however, that such allocation shall
                                   --------  -------

Shares to be included in such  registration  if any Holder or Other  Stockholder
does not  request  inclusion  of the  maximum  number of  shares of  Registrable
Securities  and Other Shares  allocated  to him pursuant to the  above-described
procedure,  in which  case the  remaining  portion  of his  allocation  shall be
reallocated among those requesting Holders and other selling  stockholders whose
allocations  did not satisfy their  requests pro rata on the basis of the number
of shares of Registrable  Securities and Other Shares for which registration had
been requested,  and this procedure shall be repeated until all of the shares of
Registrable   Securities   and  Other  Shares  which  may  be  included  in  the
registration  on  behalf of the  Holders  and  Other  Stockholders  have been so
allocated.

3.10 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to take any action to
     ---------------------

controversy   that  might  arise  with   respect to   the    interpretation   or
implementation of this Section 3.
