--------  -------

agree on, the Fair Value Per Share. If the Company and the Requisite Purchasers
are unable to reach agreement on the Fair Value Per Share within 15 Business
Days after the Requisite Purchasers' delivery to the Company of the Requisite
Purchasers' written objection to the Board's initial determination of the Fair
Value Per Share, then the Fair Value Per Share shall be determined by an

shall submit to the investment banking firm their respective calculations of the
Fair Value Per Share, and any supporting arguments and other data as they may
desire, within 10 Business Days of the appointment of the investment banking
firm, and the investment banking firm shall as soon as practicable thereafter
make its own calculation of the Fair Value Per Share. The determination of the
Fair Value Per Share by such investment banking firm shall be final and binding

banking firm and arbitrator (if any) used to determine the Fair Value Per Share.

          (a)  Transactions With Affiliates.
               ----------------------------

          The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries
not to, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Purchasers, enter
into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Company on terms less favorable
to the Company or such Subsidiary than would have been obtainable in a
comparable arms-length transaction with an unrelated third party; provided,
                                                                  ---------
however, that the Company or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries may, without
-------
the prior written consent of the Requisite Purchasers hereunder, enter into
transactions with the Company and any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries.

          (b)  Financial Statements and Other Information, Inspections.
               -------------------------------------------------------

          (i) Prior to the consummation of an Initial Public Offering, the
     Company will deliver to each Purchaser holding at least 5% of the shares of
     Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding the financial statements and
     other information specified in Section 3(a) of the Stockholders Agreement.

          (ii) Except as consented to in writing by the Company or as otherwise
     required by law or judicial order or decree or by any governmental agency
     or authority, each Person which obtains information regarding the
     Corporation and its Subsidiaries under this Section 2(b) will use its best
     efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all nonpublic information
     obtained by it hereunder which the Corporation has reasonably designated as
     proprietary or confidential in nature; provided that each such Person may
     disclose such information to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the
     Stockholders Agreement) in connection with the sale or transfer of any
     Shares if such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the
     provisions hereof.

          (iii) Prior to the consummation of an Initial Public Offering, the
     Company will permit each representative designated by any Purchaser holding
     at least 5% of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding,
     upon reasonable notice to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
     during normal business hours or such other times as any such Purchaser may
     reasonably request and in such manner so as not to unreasonably interfere
     with the business and operations of the Company or any Subsidiary, to, at
     such Purchaser's expense, (i) visit and inspect any of the properties of
     the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) examine the corporate and financial
     records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and make copies thereof or
     extracts therefrom and (iii) discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of

     3.   Purchaser Put Rights.
          --------------------

          (a)  Put Notice.
               ----------

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3, at any time
after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof and prior to a Liquidity Event,
either the Requisite Purchasers or the Requisite MassMutual Holders may elect to
require the Company to purchase all (but not less than all) unexercised Warrants
and Warrant Shares held by such Purchaser or Purchasers at a price per share
equal to the Fair Value Per Share (determined as of the date the Put Notice is
delivered) of such Warrants (determined based upon the Fair Value Per Share of
the shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants less the price payable upon
exercise thereof) or Warrant Shares.

          Such Purchaser or Purchasers may exercise the Put Right by delivering
written notice of such election (the "Put Notice") to the Company   Within 15
days after the first date of receipt of a Put Notice by the Company (the "Put
                                                                          ---
Notice Date"), the Company shall give a notice to all other Purchasers advising
-----------
them of the receipt by the Company of such Put Notice, together with a copy of
such Put Notice.  The date upon which the Company shall so advise such other
Holders is herein called the "Company Notice Date".  Within 15 days after the
                              -------------------
Company Notice Date, each such other Purchaser also may give a Put Notice to the
Company and each such Put Notice shall be deemed given as of the date of the Put
Notice given by the Purchaser or Purchasers initially exercising the Put Right.
After receipt of the original Put Notice, the Company shall be obligated to
purchase, and the Purchasers who have elected to participate shall be obligated
to sell, Warrants and Warrant Shares for which Put Notices have been given,
subject to the following conditions:

          (i) the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain all consents,
     approvals and waivers from third parties (including the stockholders of the
     Company) that may be necessary in order to permit the Company to purchase
     such Warrants and Warrant Shares, and in the event that the Company cannot,
     after using such best efforts, obtain any such consent, approval or waiver
     that is required for the Company to purchase any Warrants or Warrant
     Shares, the Company shall be relieved from its obligation hereunder to
     purchase such Warrants and Warrant Shares;

          (ii) in the event the Company shall not have sufficient funds on hand
     to purchase all of such Warrants and Warrant Shares, the Company shall use
     its best efforts to obtain such funds from third party financing sources on
     reasonable and customary terms to pay in full in cash the aggregate
     purchase price required to be paid for such Warrants and Warrant Shares
     pursuant to this Section 3, and if, after using such best efforts, the
     Company cannot obtain such funds to purchase all of such Warrants and
     Warrant Shares, the Company shall be obligated hereunder to purchase, on a
     pro rata basis from all such Purchasers in proportion to their holdings of
     Warrants and Warrant Shares, only those Warrants and Warrant Shares that
     the Company is able to purchase out of funds on hand and obtained from
     third party financing sources, if any;

          (iii) in the event that the Company is prohibited or restricted by
     Applicable Law from purchasing any Warrants or Warrant Shares, the
     Company's obligation to

                                       7
<PAGE>

     purchase such shares hereunder shall be suspended until such time as the
     Company is no longer subject to any such prohibition or restriction and any
     such purchase permitted to be made shall be made such Warrants and Warrant
     Shares on a pro rata basis;

          (iv) in the event that the Board determines in good faith that the
     Company's performance of its obligations under this Section 3 could
     reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company may
     postpone the Put Closing for such period as the Board may in good faith
     determine in order to avoid such Material Adverse Effect; and

          (v) in the event that the Requisite Purchasers or the Requisite
     MassMutual Holders, as the case may be, have delivered a Put Notice to the
     Company and the Company has given the Purchasers written notice prior to 30
     days following final determination of the Fair Value Per Share of the Class
     B Common Stock that the Company has fixed plans to engage in, or is
     otherwise attempting to engage in, a Liquidity Event, then the Company
     shall not be obligated to purchase such Warrants and Warrant Shares
     pursuant to this Section 3 unless and until such Liquidity Event is
     abandoned.

          (b)  Put Closing.
               -----------

          Subject to conditions set forth in Section 3(a), the closing (the "Put
                                                                             ---
Closing") of the Company's purchase of Warrants and Warrant Shares from the
-------
Purchasers pursuant to Section 3(a) shall take place on such date (the "Put
                                                                        ---
Closing Date") as shall be determined by the Company, but in any event not
------------
earlier than 10 days and not later than 90 days after the later of (x) the date
on which the final determination of the Fair Value Per Share of the Warrants and
Warrant Shares being repurchased is made and (y) the date on which all of the
conditions set forth in Section 3(a) have been satisfied.  The Put Closing shall
take place at the Company's principal executive office or place of business or
the office in New York City of the Company's attorneys.  The Company shall send
written notice of the Put Closing (the "Put Closing Notice") to the Purchasers.
                                        ------------------
The Put Closing Notice shall specify the Put Closing Date and the location of
the Put Closing.  At the Put Closing, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser,
against the Company's receipt from such Purchaser of the certificate or
certificates representing the Warrants and Warrant Shares being repurchased from
such Purchaser duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed stock powers and
other instruments of transfer necessary to transfer said Warrants and Warrant
Shares to the Company free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances and
other adverse claims, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for all
such Warrants and Warrant Shares, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, or if such Purchaser shall not have specified wire transfer instructions
to the Company prior to the Put Closing Date, by certified or official bank
check made payable to the order of such Purchaser.

     4.   Company Call Rights.
          -------------------

          (a)  Call Notice.
               -----------

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4, at any time and
from time to time after the sixth anniversary of the date hereof, the Company
may elect to purchase all (but

                                       8
<PAGE>

not less than all) of the unexercised Warrants and the Warrant Shares held by
the Purchasers at a price per share equal to the applicable Fair Value Per Share
(determined as of the date the Call Notice is given) of such Warrants
(determined based upon the Fair Value Per Share of the shares issuable upon
exercise of such Warrants less the price payable upon exercise thereof) or
Warrant Shares by giving written notice to the Purchasers of such election (the
"Call Notice"), whereupon the Company shall be obligated to purchase, and the
Purchasers shall be obligated to sell, such Warrants and Warrant Shares;
provided, however, that the Company may at any time prior to 10 days prior to
the Call Closing Date (as defined below) terminate or abandon its purchase of
such Warrants and Warrant Shares hereunder by delivering written notice thereof
to the Purchasers and paying, or reimbursing the Purchasers for, the reasonable
out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with
the determination of Fair Value Per Share as a result of the Company's exercise
of such call rights hereunder (and in the event of any such termination or
abandonment, the provisions of this Section 4 shall thereafter remain and
continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms).

          (b)  Call Closing.
               ------------

          Subject to conditions set forth in Section 4(a), the closing (the
"Call Closing") of the Company's purchase of Warrants and Warrant Shares from
-------------
the Purchasers pursuant to Section 4(a) shall take place on such date (the "Call
                                                                            ----
Closing Date") as shall be determined by the Company, but in any event not
------------
earlier than 10 days and not later than 90 days after the date on which the
final determination of the Fair Value Per Share of the Warrants and Warrant
Shares being repurchased is made.  The  Call Closing shall take place at the
Company's principal executive office or place of business or the office in New
York City of the Company's attorneys.  The Company shall send written notice of
the Call Closing (the "Call Closing Notice") to the Purchasers.  The Call
                       -------------------
Closing Notice shall specify the Call Closing Date and the location of the Call
Closing.  At the Call Closing, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser, against
the Company's receipt from such Purchaser of the certificate or certificates
representing the Warrants and Warrant Shares being purchased from such Purchaser
duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed stock powers and other instruments
of transfer necessary to transfer such Warrants and Warrant Shares to the
Company free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances and other adverse
claims, an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for all such Warrants
and Warrant Shares, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or if such
Purchaser shall not have specified wire transfer instructions to the Company
prior to the Call Closing Date, by certified or official bank check made payable
to the order of such Purchaser.

          (c)  Adjustment of Fair Value Per Share.
               ----------------------------------

          (i) If a Liquidity Event occurs at any time during the first six
     months following the Call Closing and the price of a share of Class B
     Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as the case may be, resulting from
     such Liquidity Event exceeds the per share purchase price paid by the
     Company for shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as the
     case may be, at the Call Closing, then the Company shall pay each Purchaser
     an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount by which the price of a
     share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as the case may be,
     resulting from such Liquidity Event exceeds the per share purchase price
     paid by the Company for shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common
     Stock, as the case may be, at the

                                       9
<PAGE>

     Call Closing multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock
     or Class C Common Stock, as the case may be, purchased by the Company from
     such Purchaser at the Call Closing (including shares of Class B Common
     Stock or Class C Common Stock, as the case may be, issuable upon exercise
     of unexercised Warrants so purchased). Such payment shall be made to such
     Purchaser within 15 Business Days after the consummation of such Liquidity
     Event in the same manner as the payment of the purchase price at the Call
     Closing.

          (ii) If a Liquidity Event occurs at any time during the second six
     months following the Call Closing and the price of a share of Class B
     Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as the case may be, resulting from
     such Liquidity Event exceeds the per share purchase price paid by the
     Company at the Call Closing, then the Company shall pay each Purchaser an
     amount equal to 50% of the product of (A) the amount by which the price of
     a share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as the case may
     be, resulting from such Liquidity Event exceeds the per share purchase
     price paid by the Company for shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C
     Common Stock, as the case may be, at the Call Closing multiplied by (B) the
     number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as the
     case may be, purchased by the Company from such Purchaser at the Call
     Closing (including shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock,
     as the case may be, issuable upon exercise of unexercised Warrants so
     purchased). Such payment shall be made to such Purchaser within 15 Business
     Days after the consummation of such Liquidity Event in the same manner as
     the payment of the purchase price at the Call Closing.

     5.   Miscellaneous.
          -------------

          (a)  Amendment and Waiver.
               --------------------

          The provisions of this Agreement may only be amended in writing signed
by the Company and the Purchasers, and may only be waived in writing by the
party to be charged with such waiver.

          (b)  Duration; Termination.
               ---------------------

          The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate upon the first to
occur of (A) a Liquidation, (B) a Sale of the Company, (C) the written approval
of such termination by the Company and the Purchasers, and (D) the consummation
of a Qualified Public Offering.

          (c)  Severability.
               ------------

          It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions
of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws
and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective,
without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such provision could be

                                       10
<PAGE>

more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such
jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          (d)  Entire Agreement.
               ----------------

          This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and
preempts any and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements,
arrangements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which
may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

          (e)  Successors and Assigns.
               ----------------------

          (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will bind and
     inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its
     successors and assigns and the Purchasers and their respective successors
     and permitted assigns, so long as each such Person holds Warrants or
     Warrant Shares. Any Purchaser may assign and delegate any of its rights and
     obligations hereunder to any Permitted Transferees of Warrants or Warrant
     Shares as defined in, and pursuant to the provisions of the Stockholders
     Agreement without the prior written consent of any other party hereto. None
     of the provisions hereof shall create, or be construed or deemed to create,
     any third party beneficiaries.

          (ii) References in this Agreement to a "Purchaser" shall mean,
     collectively, (A) a Purchaser named herein, (B) each Additional Purchaser
     (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) who has executed and
     delivered to the Company a joinder agreement in accordance with the terms
     of Section 2.5 of the Purchase Agreement and (C) the permitted transferees
     of Warrants or Warrant Shares held by such Purchaser who have executed and
     delivered to the Company a joinder agreement in form and substance
     reasonably acceptable to such permitted transferee and the Company pursuant
     to which such permitted transferee shall have agreed to be bound and to
     comply with the provisions of this Agreement as if such permitted
     transferee were an Purchaser named herein. Whenever any agreement, consent,
     approval or waiver of the Purchasers is required or requested hereunder,
     then, unless otherwise expressly provided, such agreement, consent,
     approval or waiver shall be deemed to have been duly given if in a writing
     signed by the Requisite Purchasers.

          (f)  Counterparts.
               ------------

          This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each
such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all
such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

          (g)  Notices.
               -------

          All notices and other communications which are required or otherwise
delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be sufficient and duly given if contained

     6.   Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
          --------------------------------------

          (i) All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and
     validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced
     in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of New York, without
     giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws provision or rule
     (whether in the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would
     cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State
     of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State
     of New York will control the interpretation and construction of this
     Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of
     laws analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would
     ordinarily apply.

          (ii) The jurisdiction and venue in any action brought by any party
     hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall exclusively lie in any federal or
     state court located in the City of New York, New York. The parties further
     agree that such exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie exclusively with
     such federal courts if federal rules of jurisdiction permit such federal
     court to hear such action. By execution and delivery of this Agreement,
     each party hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts
     for himself or itself and in respect of his or its property with respect to
     such action. The parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in
     any such court, and hereby waive any objection that any such court is an
     improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of such action. The
     parties further agree that the mailing by certified or registered mail,
     return receipt requested, of any process required by any such court shall
     constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without
     necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of
     court. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or
     proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdiction by
     suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

     7.   Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial.
          ---------------------------

          BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND
EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN
ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A
JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION
OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY
RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO.

Rights Agreement as of the date first above written.
