4. Restriction on Transfer: Rights of First Refusal.



4.1 Rights of First Refusal. Before any shares of Stock registered in the name of Purchaser may be sold or transferred (including transfer by operation of law other than as excepted pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof), Purchaser must first obtain the written consent of the Company. If such written consent is not given, then the Company or, if the Company desires, the other shareholders of the Company, shall have a right of first refusal to purchase such shares for the same price and on the same terms and conditions offered to such prospective purchaser, in accordance with the procedures set forth below (the "Rights of First Refusal").



If the proposed price per share is to be other than in cash, then an equivalent cash value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If a transfer other than a voluntary sale is proposed to be made, then the price per share for purposes of the Rights of First Refusal shall be determined by the mutual agreement of Purchaser and the Company or, if no agreement can be reached, the price shall be the fair market value of such shares, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.



Prior to any sale or transfer of any shares of the Stock, Purchaser, or the legal representative of Purchaser, shall promptly deliver to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of the price and other terms and conditions of the offer by the prospective purchaser, the identity of the prospective purchaser, and, in the case of a sale, Purchaser's bona fide intention to sell or dispose of such shares together with a copy of a written agreement between Purchaser and the prospective purchaser conditioned only upon the satisfaction of the procedures set forth in these Rights of First Refusal. If the Company does not give its written consent to such transfer, then the Company (or its assignees) shall, for thirty (30) days after such notice from Purchaser, have the right under this Section 4 to purchase some or all such shares, as set forth herein. After the expiration of the Rights of First Refusal, or upon the written consent of the Company to the proposed transfer, Purchaser may sell or transfer the shares specified in the notice to the Company, on the terms and conditions specified in such notice; provided, however, that the sale must be consummated within three (3) months after the date of the notice and that all shares sold or transferred shall remain subject to the provisions and restrictions of this Agreement and shall carry a legend to that effect.



If the Rights of First Refusal under this Section 4 are not exercised but Purchaser fails to consummate such sale on the same terms and conditions as set forth





in the notice to the Company within three (3) months after the date of the notice, then such Rights of First Refusal shall be reinstated.



4.2 Termination: Exceptions. The provisions of this Section 4 shall terminate on the closing date of an underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the Company. The provisions of Section 4.1 shall not apply to a transfer of any shares of Stock by Purchaser, either during his lifetime or on death to his ancestors, descendants or spouse, or any custodian or trustee for the account of Purchaser or Purchaser's ancestors, descendants or spouse; provided, in each such case a transferee shall receive and hold such shares subject to the provisions and restrictions on transfer of this Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such shares except in accordance herewith.



4.3 Effect of Transfers Not in Compliance. The Company shall not be required to transfer on its books any shares of Stock of the Company which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or the Security Agreement, or to treat as owner of such shares, or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to, any transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.



5. Stock Splits. etc. If, from time to time during the term of the Purchase Option or Rights of First Refusal as provided in Sections 3 and 4 hereof, there is any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding securities of the Company or if there is any consolidation, merger or sale of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company, then in such event any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of his ownership of Stock shall be immediately subject to the Purchase Option and Rights of First Refusal and be included in the term "Stock" for all purposes of this Agreement with the same force and effect as the shares of Stock presently subject to this Agreement.



6. Legends. All certificates representing any shares of Stock of the Company subject to the provisions of this Agreement shall have endorsed thereon substantially the following legends:



(a) "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE

SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON AND OBLIGATIONS WITH

RESPECT TO TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AND RIGHTS OF
