                             THE IXATA GROUP, INC.

               Form of Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Warrant
               -------------------------------------------------

                         (Void after December 5, 2005)

     The IXATA Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for value
received, hereby certifies that _______________  or its registered assigns (the
"Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to
purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time on or after the date
of issuance and on or before December 5, 2005, at not later than 5:00 P.M.
(Eastern Time) _____________ (______) shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock of the Company ("Series C Preferred"), at a purchase price per share (the
"Purchase Price") of $1.00.  The shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, and the purchase price per share, each as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the
"Warrant Shares" and the "Purchase Price," respectively.  This Warrant is issued
pursuant to a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith among the
Company and the Purchasers named therein (the "Agreement"), and the terms of
this Warrant are subject to the terms of the Agreement.

     1. Exercise.
        --------

          (a)  Except as set forth in subsection 1(b) below, this Warrant may be
exercised by the Registered Holder in whole or in part, by surrendering this
Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by
                                                   ---------
such Registered Holder's duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of
the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate,
accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the
Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon
such exercise.
<PAGE>

          (b)  The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to pay some or
all of the Purchase Price payable upon an exercise of this Warrant by canceling
a portion of this Warrant exercisable for such number of shares of the Company's
common stock, $0.001 par value (the `Common Stock"), as is then issuable upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred (as to which this Warrant is exercisable)
determined by dividing (i) the total Purchase Price payable in respect of the
number of shares of Series C Preferred being purchased upon such exercise by
(ii) the excess of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the
effective date of exercise, as determined pursuant to Section 1(c) below (the
"Exercise Date") over the Purchase Price per share. If the Registered Holder
wishes to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this method of payment with respect
to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable pursuant to this
method, then the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable shall be equal
to the total number of shares of Common Stock, minus the product obtained by
multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock purchasable by (y) a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Purchase Price per share and the
denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as
of the Exercise Date. The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be
determined as follows:

               (i)  If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities
exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized exchange
or trading system as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average last reported sale prices per
share of Common Stock thereon over the thirty-day period the Exercise Date; or,
if no such price is reported on such date, such price on the next preceding
business day.

               (ii) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities
exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or another nationally recognized exchange
or trading system as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount most recently determined by the
Board of Directors to represent the fair market value per share of the Common
Stock (including without limitation a determination for purposes of granting
Common Stock options or issuing Common Stock under an employee benefit plan of
the Company); and, upon request of the Registered Holder, the Board of Directors
(or a representative thereof) shall promptly notify the Registered Holder of the
Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Board of Directors has not made such a determination within the three-month
period prior to the Exercise Date, then (A) the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock shall be the amount next determined by the Board of Directors to
represent the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock (including without
limitation a determination for purposes of granting Common Stock options or
issuing Common Stock under an employee benefit plan of the Company), (B) the
Board of Directors shall make a determination within 15 days of a request by the
Registered Holder that it do so, and (C) the exercise of this Warrant pursuant
to this subsection 1(b) shall be delayed until such determination is made.
References in this Warrant to "Warrant Shares" shall include shares of Common
Stock purchasable under this subsection (b).

          (c)  Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this
Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection
1(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

exercise as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such
certificates.

          (d)  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in
whole or in part the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the
name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Registered Holder
(upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes and
subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws) may
direct:

                (i)   a certificate or certificates for the number of full
Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such
exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Registered Holder
would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 3
hereof; and

                (ii)  in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or
warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the
face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving
effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the
face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered
Holder upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(a) above.

     2.  Adjustments.
         -----------

          (a) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be equal to the
              --------------
Conversion Price (as adjusted), as defined in the Certificate of Designates of
the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company.

          (b) Mergers, etc.  If there shall occur any capital reorganization or
              ------------
reclassification of the Company's Series C Preferred or Common Stock (other than
a change in par value or a subdivision or combination that results in an
adjustment to the Purchase as provided for in subsection 2(a) above), including
without limitation any mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred, or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then, as part
of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, as
the case may be, lawful provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder of
this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise hereof
the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property which
such Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior
to any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, as
the case may be, such Registered Holder had held the number of the Company's
Series C Preferred or Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as reasonably
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be made
in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights
and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, such that the
provisions set forth in this Section 2 (including provisions with respect to
adjustment of the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
is reasonably practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or other
securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          (c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is
              --------------------------------------
required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number
determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by
the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the
Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

          (d) Certificate of Adjustment.  When any adjustment is required to be
              -------------------------
made pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the
Registered Holder a certificate setting forth the Purchase Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment. Such certificate shall also set forth the kind and amount of stock
or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable
following such adjustment.

     3. Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required upon the exercise
        -----------------
of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall make an adjustment
therefor in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock, as determined pursuant to subsection 1(b) above.

     4. Requirements for Transfer.
        -------------------------

          (a)  This Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Warrant Shares or of this Warrant (collectively,
the "Securities") shall not be sold or transferred unless either (i) they first
shall have been registered under the Act, or (ii) the Company first shall have
been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Act.

          (b)  Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend
substantially in the following form:

                 "The securities represented by this certificate have not been
                 registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
                 may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or
                 hypothecated unless and until such securities are registered
                 under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
                 Company is obtained to the effect that such registration is not
                 required."

The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing any
Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they
become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Act, upon
compliance with all requirements of the transfer agent for such shares.

     5. No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or
        -------------
through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant, but

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and
in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.

     6. Notices of Record Date, etc.  In case:
        ---------------------------

          (a)  the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common
Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or
purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive
any other right; or

          (b)  any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company; or

          (c)  of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or
cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder of this Warrant at its last known
address as shown on the records of the Company a notice specifying, as the case
may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days
prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such
notice.

     7. Reservation of Stock.  The Company will at all times reserve and keep
        --------------------

time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

     8. Exchange of Warrants.  Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder of
        --------------------

office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 4
hereof, issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Holder, at the Company's
expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Registered
Holder or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of
any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face
or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face
or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.

     9. Replacement of Warrants.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
        -----------------------
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft

or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if
reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in
the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the

     10. Transfers, etc.
         --------------

all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of

                                                                 ----------
hereto) at the principal office of the Company.

          (c) Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant
register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if and when
                                        --------  -------
this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be
obligated to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all

<PAGE>

the financial condition, business or prospects of the Company which has not been
disclosed in writing to the Purchasers.

     4.   Representations of the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser severally
          ---------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

          (a)  Investment.  Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the
               ----------
shares of Common Stock into which the Shares may be converted and the Warrant
and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view
to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any
present intention of distributing or selling the same; and, except as
contemplated by this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, such
Purchaser has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement,
obligation, indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof.

          (b)  Authority.  Such Purchaser has full power and authority to
               ---------
enter into and to perform this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Such
Purchaser represents that it has not been organized, reorganized or
recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Company, or, if
it has been organized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Company,
all of the equity owners of such corporation, partnership, trust or other entity
are Accredited Investors within the definition set forth in Securities Act Rule
501(a).

          (c)  Experience.  Such Purchaser has carefully reviewed the
               ----------
representations concerning the Company and such contained in this Agreement, and
has made detailed inquiry concerning the Company, its business and its
personnel; the officers of the Company have made available to such Purchaser any
and all written information which such Purchaser has requested and have answered
to such Purchaser's satisfaction all inquiries made by such Purchaser; and such
Purchaser has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current needs
and contingencies to sustain a complete loss of its investment in the Company;
such Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily
marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth and such Purchaser's
investment in the Shares will not cause such overall commitment to become
excessive.

          (d)  Accredited Investor.  Such Purchaser is an Accredited Investor
               -------------------
within the definition set forth in Securities Act Rule 501(a).

          (e)  Restricted Securities.  Such Purchaser understands that the
               ---------------------
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulation such Securities may be resold without registration under
the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the Securities (or the Common Stock issued on
conversion thereof) or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Company (it being understood that Hale and Dorr LLP is acceptable) that a sale
may be made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the Shares
(and any Common Stock issued on conversion thereof) must be held indefinitely.
In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule
144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed
thereby and by the Act,

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current information
about the Company be available to the public.

          (f)  Legend.  Each certificate or other instrument representing the
               ------
Shares and the Registrable Shares and shares issued in respect of the Shares
shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

     "The securities represented by this instrument have not been
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may
     not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or
     hypothecated unless and until such shares are registered under
     such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company is
     obtained to the effect that such registration is not required."

The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing any
Registrable Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they
become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

          (g)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of
counsel shall be required by the Company for a transfer by a Purchaser to any
person or entity which directly or indirectly holds an interest in the Purchaser
or a partner of any purchaser, or in connection with a bona fide reorganization,
if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement
to the same extent as if he were an original Purchaser hereunder.

     5.   Conditions to the Obligations of the Purchasers.  The obligation of
          -----------------------------------------------
each Purchaser to purchase Shares at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment,
or the waiver by such Purchaser, of the following conditions on or before the
Closing Date:

          (a)  Accuracy of Representations and Warranties.  The representations
               ------------------------------------------
and warranties contained in Section 3 of this Agreement shall be true on and as
of such Closing Date with the same effect as though such representations and
warranties had been made on and as of that date.

          (b)  Performance.  The Company shall have performed and complied with
               -----------
all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement required to be
performed or complied with by the Company prior to or at the Closing.

          (c)  Opinion of Counsel.  The Purchaser shall have received an opinion
               ------------------
from Kohrman Jackson & Krantz P.L.L., counsel for the Company, dated such
Closing Date, to the following effect:

            (i)  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and to our
knowledge has full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as
presently conducted, to enter into and perform each of the Agreements and to

          (ii)    Except for changes contemplated by this Agreement, the
authorized capital stock of the Company is as described in subsection 3(b) of
this Agreement.

          (iii)   The issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares and the Warrants
by the Company, the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Shares or the Warrants and the issuance and delivery of
the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, as the
case may be, by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and
the Shares and the Warrants when so issued, sold and delivered against payment
therefor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares or the Warrants, when issued
upon such conversion, and the Warrant Shares, when issued upon exercise of the
Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          (iv)    The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each
of the Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
and each of the Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
Each of the Agreements (other than subsections 8(g) and 8(h) hereof, as to which
no opinion need be expressed) constitutes the valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement
of remedies to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and subject to a
court's discretionary authority with respect to the granting of a decree
ordering specific performance or other equitable remedies. The execution and
delivery of each of the Agreements and the offer, issue and sale of the Shares
hereunder will not conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the terms,
conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, each as amended to date and presently
in effect, or any indenture, lease, agreement, or other instrument known to such
counsel to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties
are bound, or any decree, judgment or order specifically naming the Company and
known to such counsel.

          (v)     To our knowledge, except as obtained and in effect at the
Closing, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
qualification, designation, declaration, or filing with, any governmental
authority (other than filings required to be made after such Closing under
applicable federal and state securities laws) is required on the part of the
Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Agreements, or the
offer, issue, sale and delivery of the Shares or the other transactions to be
consummated at such Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

          (vi)    Based on the representations of the Purchasers in Section 4,
the offer, issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act.

          (vii)   To such counsel's actual knowledge, except as set forth in
Schedule 3(i) to this Agreement, there is no action, suit or proceeding, or
-------------
governmental inquiry or investigation, pending or threatened against the
Company.

the Company shall not: (i) borrow or incur any indebtedness or liability

any year which exceeds an aggregate of $50,000 or, (ii) pay annual salary or
other compensation or benefits in excess of $85,000 to any employee of the
Company.

          (b)   Financial Statements and Other Information. The Company agrees
                ------------------------------------------

remain outstanding: (i) within two (2) days after the filing thereof with the
SEC, a copy of its Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB (or 10-K), its Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-QSB (or 10-Q), any Current Reports on Form 8-K and any
registration statements (other than on Form S-8) or amendments filed pursuant to

          (c)   Other Agreements. The Company will require all persons now or
                ----------------
hereafter employed by the Company who have access to confidential and
proprietary information of the Company to enter into agreements containing
nondisclosure and assignment of invention provisions substantially similar to
that set forth in Exhibit E. Additionally, the Company will require all
                  ---------
employees at or above the director level or whose responsibilities are technical
in nature to enter into a one-year non-competition agreement substantially
similar to that set forth in Exhibit F. Purchasers holding at least 51% of the
                             ---------
outstanding Shares shall have the right to

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

enforce the Company's rights under each of such agreements to the extent the
Company waives its rights thereunder without the prior written consent of
Purchasers holding at least 51% of the outstanding Shares.

          (d)      Right of First Refusal.
                   ----------------------
               (i)    The Company hereby grants to each Purchaser (the
"Rightholders") a right of first refusal to purchase, on a pro rata basis, all
 ------------
or any part of New Securities (as defined below) which the Company may, from
time to time, propose to sell and issue, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth below. Each Rightholder's pro rata share, for purposes of this subsection
7(e), shall equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of
capital stock of the Company owned by such Rightholder and the denominator of
which is the total number of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
the Company, assuming full conversion of any convertible preferred stock or debt
instruments at their applicable conversion rates as of the date the pro rata
share is determined.

               (ii)   "New Securities" shall mean any capital stock of the
                       --------------
Company whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to
purchase capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever which are, or may
become, convertible into capital stock; provided however, that the term "New
                                        -------- -------
Securities" does not include (A) the Shares issuable under this Agreement
(including any amendment hereto) or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred or upon exercise of the Warrants; (B)
securities offered to the public pursuant to a Registration Statement (as
defined in subsection 8(a)); (C) securities issued for the acquisition of
another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all the
assets of such corporation or other reorganization resulting in the ownership by
the Company of not less than 51% of the voting power of such corporation; (D)
not more than 7.0 million shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for
stock dividends, stock splits and similar recapitalizations) issued to employees
or consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company's stock option plans; (E)
not more than 3.0 million shares of common stock issued in bona fide
consideration of services provided to the Company by third parties not
affiliated with the Company, or (F) securities issued as a result of any stock
split, stock dividend or reclassification of Common Stock, distributable on a
pro rata basis to all holders of Common Stock.

               (iii)  In the event the Company intends to issue New Securities,
it shall give each Rightholder written notice of such intention, describing the
type of New Securities to be issued, the price thereof and the general terms
upon which the Company proposes to effect such issuance. Each Rightholder shall
have 30 days from the date of any such notice to agree to purchase all or part
of its or his pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the
general terms and conditions specified in the Company's notice by giving written
notice to the Company stating the quantity of New Securities to be so purchased.
Each Rightholder shall have a right of overallotment such that if any
Rightholder fails to exercise his or its right hereunder to purchase his or its
total pro rata portion of New Securities, the other Rightholders may purchase
such portion on a pro rata basis, by giving written notice to the Company within
five days from the date that the Company provides written notice to the other
Rightholders of the amount of New Securities with respect to which such
nonpurchasing Rightholder has failed to exercise its or his right hereunder.

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

               (iv)  In the event any Rightholder fails to exercise the
foregoing right of first refusal with respect to any New Securities within such
30-day period, the Company may within 120 days thereafter sell any or all of
such New Securities not agreed to be purchased by the Rightholders, at a price
and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than
specified in the notice given to each Rightholder pursuant to paragraph (iii)
above. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such
120-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New
Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Rightholders in the
manner provided above.

               (v)    For purposes of this subsection 7(e), "Rightholder" shall
include the general partners, officers or other affiliates of a Purchaser, and a
Purchaser may apportion its pro rata share among itself and such general
partners, officers and other affiliates in such proportions as it deems
appropriate so long as such general partner, officers or other affiliates are
accredited investors within the definition set forth in Securities Act Rule
501(a) and such apportionment does not invalidate any Federal or State
securities exemption; provided that the pro rata share ownership of a
Rightholder shall be determined solely on the basis of the number of shares of
capital stock of the Company owned by such Rightholder and shall not be
increased by the share holdings of any affiliate of such Rightholder.

          (e)   International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act. The
                ---------------------------------------------------------
Company shall use its best efforts to file on a timely basis all reports
required to be filed by it under 22 U.S.C. Section 3104, or any similar statute,
relating to a foreign person's direct or indirect investment in the Company.

          (f)   Listing. The Company shall as soon as practicable secure the
                -------
listing of all of the shares of Common Stock, including the Registrable Shares,
upon the Nasdaq Small Cap or National Stock Market and shall maintain, so long
as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all
Registrable Shares from time to time issuable under the terms of the Agreements
and the Certificate of Incorporation.

          (g)   Negative Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
                ------------------
Agreement to the contrary, so long as at least 50% of the shares of Series C
Preferred originally purchased by NextGen Fund II, L.L.C. and NextGen SBS Fund
II, L.L.C. remain outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders
of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred, there
shall not occur:

               (i)    (A)  the sale of all or substantially of the assets of
the Company;

                      (B)  the sale of more than 50% of the outstanding equity
of the Company in a non-public sale;

                      (C)  the sale of capital stock of the Company in a public
offering;

                      (D)  any merger, unit exchange, consolidation or other
reorganization or business combination of the Company if, immediately after such
transaction, either (1) persons who are directors of the Company immediately
prior to such transaction do not constitute at lease a majority of the directors
of the surviving entity immediately after such

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

transaction, or (2) persons who hold a majority of the voting equity of the
surviving entity immediately after such transaction are not persons who held a
majority of the voting equity of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction;

          "Registration Statement" means a registration statement filed by the
           ----------------------
Company with the Commission for a public offering and sale of securities of the
Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or their
successors, or any other form for a limited purpose, or any registration
statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange for
securities or assets of another corporation).

           ---------------------
8(d).

          "Registrable Shares" means (i) the shares of Common Stock issued or
           ------------------
issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred or upon exercise or

Registrable Shares upon any sale pursuant to a Registration Statement, Section
4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any sale in
any manner to a person or entity which, by virtue of Section 12 of this
Agreement, is not entitled to the rights provided by this Section 8. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to a request or consent of holders of a
certain percentage of Registrable Shares, the determination of such percentage
shall include shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares even
if such conversion has not yet been effected.

          "Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
           --------------

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

       (i)  At any time after TBD November 30, 2003, a Shareholder or
Shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 50% of the Registrable Shares may
request, in writing, that the Company effect the registration on Form S-1 or
Form S-2, if applicable (or any successor form), of Registrable Shares owned by
such Shareholder or Shareholders having an aggregate offering price of at least
$3,000,000 (based on the then current public market price or fair value). If the
holders initiating the registration intend to distribute the Registrable Shares
by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company in their request.
In the event such registration is underwritten, the right of other Shareholders
to participate shall be conditioned on such Shareholders' participation in such
underwriting. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly give
written notice of such proposed registration to all Shareholders. Such
Shareholders shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Company
within 30 days

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

after the Company provides its notice, to elect to have included in such
registration such of their Registrable Shares as such Shareholders may request
in such notice of election, subject to the approval of the underwriter managing
the offering. Thereupon, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, use
its best efforts to effect the registration, on Form S-1 or Form S-2, if
applicable (or any successor form), of all Registrable Shares which the Company
has been requested to so register.

               (ii)   At any time after the Company becomes eligible to file a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form relating to secondary
offerings), a Shareholder or Shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 35%
of the Registrable Shares may request the Company, in writing, to effect the
registration on Form S-3 (or such successor form), of Registrable Shares having
an aggregate offering price of at least $500,000 (based on the current public
market price). Upon receipt of any such request, the Company shall promptly give
written notice of such proposed registration to all Shareholders. Such
Shareholders shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Company
within 30 days after the Company provides its notice, to elect to have included
in such registration such of their Registrable Shares as such Shareholders may
request in such notice of election. Thereupon, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to effect the registration on
Form S-3, or such successor form, of all Registrable Shares which the Company
has been requested to register.

               (iii)  The Company shall not be required to effect more than two
registrations pursuant to paragraph (i) but may be required to effect an
unlimited number of, registrations pursuant to paragraph (ii) above. In
addition, the Company shall not be required to effect any registration (other
than on Form S-3 or any successor form relating to secondary offerings) within
six months after the effective date of any other Registration Statement of the
Company.

               (iv)   Incidental Registration. Whenever the Company proposes to
                      -----------------------
file a Registration Statement (other than pursuant to subsection 8(b)) at any
time and from time to time, it will, prior to such filing, give written notice
to all Shareholders of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of a
Shareholder or Shareholders given within 20 days after the Company provides such
notice (which request shall state the intended method of disposition of such
Registrable Shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all
Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested by such Shareholder or
Shareholders to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent
necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with the
intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Shareholder or
Shareholders; provided, however, that if the offering is underwritten and the
              --------  -------
managing underwriter(s) advise the Company that, in their opinion, the inclusion
of the Registrable Shares will adversely impact the offering, then the Company
will not be required to include the Registrable Shares.

          (c)    Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is
                 -----------------------
required by the provisions of this Agreement to use its best efforts to effect
the registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the
Company shall:

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

          (i)    file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect
to such Registrable Shares and use its best efforts to cause that Registration
Statement to become and remain effective;

          (ii)   as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the
Commission any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep
the Registration Statement effective for a period of not less than 120 days from
the effective date;

          (iii)  as expeditiously as possible furnish to each selling
Shareholder such reasonable numbers of copies of the prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, and such other documents as the selling Shareholder may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable
Shares owned by the selling Shareholder; and

          (iv)   as expeditiously as possible use its best efforts to register
or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under
the securities or Blue Sky laws of such states as the selling Shareholders shall
reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things that may be
necessary or desirable to enable the selling Shareholders to consummate the
public sale or other disposition in such states of the Registrable Shares owned
by the selling Shareholder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
                            --------  -------
required in connection with this paragraph (iv) to qualify as a foreign
corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction.

     If the Company has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the
selling Shareholders and after having done so the prospectus is amended to
comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly
notify the selling Shareholders and, if requested, the selling Shareholders
shall immediately cease making offers of Registrable Shares and return all
prospectuses to the Company. The Company shall promptly provide the selling
Shareholders with revised prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised
prospectuses, the selling Shareholders shall be free to resume making offers of
the Registrable Shares.

          (d)  Allocation of Expenses.  The Company will pay all Registration
               ----------------------
Expenses of all registrations under this Agreement; provided, however, that if a
registration is withdrawn at the request of the Shareholders requesting such
registration (other than as a result of material adverse information concerning
the business or financial condition of the Company which is made known to the
Shareholders after the date on which such registration was requested) and if the
requesting Shareholders elect not to have such registration counted as a
registration requested under subsection 8(b), the requesting Shareholders shall
pay the Registration Expenses of such registration pro rata in accordance with
the number of their Registrable Shares included in such registration. For
purposes of this Section, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all
expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 8, including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the
reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by the selling Shareholders
to represent the selling Shareholders, state Blue Sky fees and expenses, and the
expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration,

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

but excluding underwriting discounts, selling commissions and the fees and
expenses of selling Shareholders' own counsel (other than the counsel selected
to represent all selling Shareholders).

          (e)       Indemnification.
                    ---------------

             (i)       In the event of any registration of any of the
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company will indemnify and hold harmless the seller of such Registrable Shares,
each underwriter of such Registrable Shares, and each other person, if any, who
controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky
laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; and the Company will reimburse such seller,
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred by such seller, underwriter or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in
any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such
amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished to the Company, in writing, by or on behalf of any such seller,
underwriter or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation
thereof.

             (ii)      In the event of any registration of any of the
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each
seller of Registrable Shares, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter (if
any), and each other seller (if any) and each person, if any, who controls the
Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company, such directors and officers, underwriter or
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act,
state securities or Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were
registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if the
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such seller,
specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration
Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the
                                                --------  -------
obligations of such

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

Shareholders hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds to
each Shareholder of Registrable Shares sold as contemplated herein.

               (iii)     Each party entitled to indemnification under this
subsection 8(e) (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
any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that counsel for
                                                      --------
the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld); and, provided, further, that the failure of any
                                --------  -------
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 8. The Indemnified
Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense; provided,
                                                               --------
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if representation of
-------
such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. 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 which 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 of such claim or
litigation, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or
settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party.

          (f)  Indemnification with Respect to Underwritten Offering.  In the
               -----------------------------------------------------
event that Registrable Shares are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement in
an underwritten offering pursuant to subsection 8(b)(i), the Company agrees to
enter into an underwriting agreement containing customary representations and
warranties with respect to the business and operations of an issuer of the
securities being registered and customary covenants and agreements to be
performed by such issuer, including without limitation customary provisions with
respect to indemnification by the Company of the underwriters of such offering.

          (g)  Information by Holder.  Each holder of Registrable Shares
               ---------------------
included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding such holder and the distribution proposed by such holder as the
Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any
registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 8.

          (h)  "Stand-Off" Agreement.  Each Shareholder, if requested by the
                --------------------
Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company,
shall agree not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable
Shares or other securities of the Company held by such Shareholder for a
specified period of time (not to exceed 180 days) following the effective date
of a Registration Statement; provided, that:
                             --------

          (i)  such agreement shall only apply to the first two such
Registration Statements covering Common Stock of the Company to be sold on its
behalf to the public in an underwritten offering; and

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

          (ii)  all Shareholders holding not less than the number of shares of
Common Stock held by such Shareholder (including shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of Shares, or other convertible securities, or upon the
exercise of options, warrants or rights), and all officers and directors of the
Company enter into similar agreements.

Such agreement shall be in writing in a form satisfactory to the Company and
such underwriter. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to the Registrable Shares or other securities subject to the foregoing
restriction until the end of the stand-off period.

          (i)   Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall
                ---------------------------------------------
not, without the prior written consent of Shareholders holding at least a
majority of the Registrable Shares, enter into any agreement (other than this
Agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the
Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include
securities of the Company in any registration filed under subsection 8(b) or
(ii) to make a demand registration which could result in such registration
statement being declared effective prior to the third anniversary hereof.

          (j)   Rule 144 Requirements.  The Company agrees to:
                ---------------------

             (i)   make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

             (ii)  use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

             (iii) furnish to any holder of Registrable Shares upon request a
written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of said Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such
other reports and documents of the Company as such holder may reasonably request
to avail itself of any similar rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it
to sell any such securities without registration.

          (k)   Selection of Underwriter. In the case of any registration
                ------------------------
effected pursuant to subsection 8(b), in which the Company is not selling
securities, the requesting Shareholders shall have the right with the approval
of the Board of Directors of the Company, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, to designate the managing underwriter in any underwritten
offering. The Company shall have the right to designate the managing underwriter
in all other underwritten offerings.

     9.   Transfer Agent Instructions.  The Company shall issue irrevocable
          ---------------------------
instructions to its transfer agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the
                                                                  ---------
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"), and any subsequent transfer agent,
 ---------------------------------------
to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its
respective nominee(s), for the Common Stock in such amounts as specified from
time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Shares or
exercise of the Warrants. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in a generally acceptable form (it being stipulated that an opinion of
Hale and Dorr LLP shall be acceptable), to the effect that a public sale,
assignment or transfer of Securities may be made without

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

registration under the 1933 Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with
reasonable assurances (including, if requested by the Company, delivering such
reasonable assurances to the Company's counsel in connection with such counsel
rendering an opinion on the validity of a sale by such Purchaser pursuant to
Rule 144) that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that
can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the
case of the Common Stock, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such
Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a
breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the
Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated
hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
breach of its obligations under this Section 9 will be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of
this Section 9, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and
requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss.

     10.  Indemnification.  In consideration of each Purchaser's execution and
          ---------------
delivery of the Agreements and acquiring the Shares thereunder and in addition
to all of the Company's other obligations under the Agreements and the
Certificate of Designation, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and
hold harmless each Purchaser and each other holder of the Shares and all of
their stockholders, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect
investors and any of the foregoing persons' agents or other representatives
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees")
                                                                 -----------
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses,
costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action
for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by
                                        -----------------------
any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any
misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Company in the Agreements or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or
obligation of the Company contained in the Agreements or any other certificate,
instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action,
suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee (other than a cause of
action, suit or claim which is (x) brought or made by the Company and (y) is not
a shareholder derivative suit) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the
execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Agreements or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Shares or (iii) the status
of such Purchaser or holder of the Shares as an investor in the Company. To the
extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for
any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law.

     11.  Successors and Assigns. Except as provided in Section 12, the
          ----------------------
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
the respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the
parties hereto.

                                      -24-

     12.  Transfers of Certain Rights.
          ---------------------------

          (a)  Transfer. The rights granted to a Purchaser under subsections
               --------
7(c) and 7(g) and Section 8 may be transferred by such Purchaser to any person
or entity acquiring at least 20% of the outstanding Shares or Registrable Shares
(as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalizations);
provided, however, that the Company is given written notice by the transferee at
