Conversion Stock shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged except upon
the conditions specified in this Section 2, which conditions are intended to
ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser will
cause any proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee, or pledgee of the Preferred

securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this
Section 2.

                2.2 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing (i) the
Preferred, (ii) the Conversion Stock, and (iii) any other securities issued in
respect of the Preferred or the Conversion Stock upon any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall

or otherwise imprinted with a legend in the following form (in addition to any
legend required under applicable state securities laws):

                THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
                FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
                ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE
                ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN
                OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH
                SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS
                DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT
                COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR
                TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY
                THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
                CORPORATION AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE
                CORPORATION.

                Each Purchaser and Holder consents to the Company making a
notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the
Preferred or the Common Stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer
established in this Section 2.

                2.3 Notice of Proposed Transfers. The holder of each certificate
representing Restricted Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all
respects with the provisions of this Section 2.3. Prior to any proposed sale,
assignment, transfer or pledge of any Restricted Securities (other than (i) a
transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership or (ii) in

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

transactions involving the distribution without consideration of Restricted
Securities by any of the Purchasers to any of its partners, or retired partners,
or to the estate of any of its partners or retired partners or any affiliated
partnership managed by the same managing general partner), unless there is in
effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed
transfer, the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such
holder's intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge. Each
such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and shall be
accompanied, at such holder's expense by either (i) an unqualified written
opinion of legal counsel, who shall be and whose legal opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect
that the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "no action" letter from the
Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without
registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission
that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities
in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the
Company. Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as
above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144,
the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.2 above, except that
such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if in the opinion of
counsel for such holder and the Company such legend is not required in order to
establish compliance with any provision of the Securities Act.

                2.4 Requested Registration.

                        (a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall
receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any
registration, qualification or compliance with respect to not less than thirty
percent (30%) of the shares of Registrable Securities, or any lesser number of
shares if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, would exceed $10 million, the Company will:

                                (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and

                                (ii) as soon as practicable, use its best
efforts to effect such registration, qualification or compliance (including,
without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other
state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations
issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or
regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale
and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in
a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt
of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:

                                    (A) In any particular jurisdiction in which
the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process
in effecting such

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Act;

                                    (B) Prior to December 31, 2001;

                                    (C) During the period starting with the date
sixty (60) days prior to the Company's estimated date of filing of, and ending
on the date six (6) months immediately following the effective date of, any
registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a
registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an
employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good
faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective;

                                    (D) After the Company has effected two (2)
such registrations pursuant to this subparagraph 2.4(a), and such registrations
have been declared or ordered effective;

                                    (E) If the Company shall furnish to such
Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental
to the Company or its shareholders for a registration statement to be filed in
the near future, then the Company's obligation to use its best efforts to
register, qualify or comply under this Section 2.4 shall be deferred for a
period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of receipt of
written request from the Initiating Holders; provided however, that the Company
shall not use this right under Section 2.4 (a)(ii)(E) more than once in any
twelve month period.

                Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), the Company
shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so
requested to be registered as soon as practicable, after receipt of the request
or requests of the Initiating Holders.

                        (b) Underwriting. In the event that a registration
pursuant to Section 2.4 is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice
given pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in the underwriting arrangements required by this Section 2.4, and
the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein.

                The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected
for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, but
subject to the Company's reasonable approval. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 2.4, if the managing underwriter advises the
Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the
number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all
holders of Registrable Securities and the number of shares of Registrable
Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be
allocated among all Holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to
the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the
time of filing the registration

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

statement. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of
the underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.
To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions,
the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any
Holder to the nearest 100 shares.

                If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms
of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The
Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall be withdrawn
from registration, and such Registrable Securities shall not be transferred
pursuant to a public offering prior to ninety (90) days after the effective date
of such registration, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters
may require.

                2.5 Company Registration.

                        (a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time
to time the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either
for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than
(i) in connection with the Company's initial public offering, or (ii) a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or (iii) a registration
relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, the Company will:

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

                                (ii) include in such registration (and any
related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any
underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a
written request or requests, made within ten (10) days after receipt of such
written notice from the Company, by any Holder or Founder Holder.

                        (b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the
Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders and Founder Holders as a
part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i). In such event
the right of any Holder or Founder Holder to registration pursuant to Section
2.5 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's or Founder Holder's participation in
such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders and Founder Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, if the
managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the
Registrable Securities to be included in such registration. The Company shall so
advise all Holders, Founder Holders and other holders distributing their
securities through such underwriting and the number of shares of Registrable
Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting (the
"Included Securities") shall be allocated among all Holders and Founder Holders
(in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
Registrable Securities held by such Holders and Founder Holders at the time of
filing the registration statement) before any Included Securities are allocated
to holders other than the

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Holders and Founder Holders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in
accordance with the above provisions, the Company may round the number of shares
allocated to any Holder, Founder Holder or other holder to the nearest 100
shares. If any Holder, Founder Holder or other holder disapproves of the terms
of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice
to the Company and the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and
shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to ninety (90) days
after the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto, or such
other shorter period of time as the underwriters may require.

                        (c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall
have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under
this Section 2.5 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not
any Holder or Founder Holder has elected to include securities in such
registration.

                2.6 Registration on Form S-3.

                        (a) If any Holder or Holders holding in the aggregate
not less than one percent (1%) of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities
request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any
successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable
Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price to the public of
which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $1,000,000,
and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the
Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use its best
efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering
on such form and to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such
jurisdictions as the Holder or Holders may reasonably request; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one
registration pursuant to this Section 2.6 in any twelve (12) month period. The
substantive provisions of Section 2.4(b) shall be applicable to each
registration initiated under this Section 2.6.

                        (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.6: (i) in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (ii)
during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company's
estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately
following, the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to
securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145
transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the
Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective; or (iii) if the Company shall
furnish to such Holder a certificate signed by the President of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for registration
statements to be filed in the near future, then the Company's obligation to use
its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a period
not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the receipt of the request to
file such registration by such Holder; provided however, that the

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Company shall not use this right under Section 2.6 (b)(iii) more than once in
any twelve (12) month period.

                2.7 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and
after the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the New Series F Agreement), the
Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective
holder of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such
securities unless (i) such new registration rights, including standoff
obligations, are on a pari passu basis with those rights of the Holders
hereunder or (ii) such new registration rights, including standoff obligations,
are subordinate to the registration rights granted Holders hereunder. Any such
additional parties may execute a counterpart of this Agreement, and upon
execution by such additional parties and by the Company, shall be considered a
Holder for all purposes of this Agreement.

                2.8 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with (i) registrations pursuant to Section 2.4, (ii) registrations
pursuant to Section 2.5, and (iii) registrations pursuant to Section 2.6 shall
be borne by the Company. Unless otherwise stated, all Selling Expenses relating
to securities registered on behalf of the Holders and all other Registration
Expenses shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis
of the number of shares so registered.

                2.9 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 2,
the Company will keep each Holder and Founder Holder advised in writing as to
the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the
completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:

                        (a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for at least one hundred
eighty (180) days or until the distribution described in the Registration
Statement has been completed;

                        (b) Furnish to the Holders and Founder Holders
participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities
being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such
underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering
of such securities.

                2.10 Indemnification.

                        (a) The Company will indemnify each Holder and Founder
Holder, each of its officers and directors and partners, and each person
controlling such Holder or Founder Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or
compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter,
if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing
incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out
of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material
fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other

                                       9

document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the
Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act
applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration,
qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder or
Founder Holder, each of its officers and directors, and each person controlling
such Holder or Founder Holder, each such underwriter and each person who
controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder or Founder Holder, controlling person or
underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.

                        (b) Each Holder or Founder Holder will, if Registrable
Securities held by such Holder or Founder Holder are included in the securities
as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected,
indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if
any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each
person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder or Founder Holder,
each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such Holder or
Founder Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against
all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of
a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus,
offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such
Holders or Founder Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or
control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular
or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder or
Founder Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the liability of each Holder or Founder Holder under this
subsection (b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the initial public
offering price of the shares sold by such Holder or Founder Holder.

                        (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Section 2.10 (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
unreasonably be withheld), and the

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense, and
provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this Section 2 unless the failure to give such notice is materially
prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and
provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for
matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or separate and different
defenses. 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 to such claim or
litigation. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, 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 such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding.

                        (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
2.10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the violation(s) that resulted
in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of
the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by
a Holder or Founder Holder hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering
received by such Holder or Founder Holder.

                        (e) The obligations of the Company, Holders and Founder
Holders under this Section 2.10 shall survive completion of any offering of
Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this
agreement.

                2.11 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights granted
pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate as to any Holder or Founder Holder
upon the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the closing of an underwritten
public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock
for the account of the Company to the public with gross proceeds to the Company
(prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not less than $15
million and either (A) with respect to any such public offering which closes on
or prior to December 31, 2000, a per share price to the public of at least $7.00
per share or (B) with respect to any public offering which closes after such
date, a per share price to the public of at least $10.23 per share (in either
case, adjusted for any subdivisions, combinations, consolidation, or stock
distributions or stock dividends with respect to such shares effected after the
date of this Agreement) or (ii) as to any

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

Holder, such earlier time at which all Registrable Securities held by such
Holder (and any affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its
sales under Rule 144) can be sold in any three (3)-month period without
registration in compliance with Rule 144 of the Act.

                2.12 Information by Holder. The Holders or Founder Holders of
Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding such Holders or Founder Holders, the Registrable
Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holders or Founder
Holders 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 2.

                2.13 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any
time permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without
registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of
the Company, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

                        (a) Make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all
times after the effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting
requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

                        (b) 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (at any
time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);

                        (c) So long as a Purchaser owns any Restricted
Securities, to furnish to the Purchaser forthwith upon request a written
statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of
said Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of
the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its
securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other
information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company as a
Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the Commission allowing a Purchaser to sell any such securities without
registration.

                2.14 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
Company to register securities granted Purchasers under Sections 2.4, 2.5 and
2.6 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee reasonably acceptable to the
Company in connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities
by a Purchaser provided that: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in
accordance with applicable securities laws, and (ii) such assignee or transferee
acquires at least 100,000 shares of Preferred and/or Common Stock issued upon
conversion thereof (appropriately adjusted for Recapitalizations).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to cause the Company to register
securities may be assigned to any constituent partner of a Purchaser or any
affiliated partnership managed by the same managing general partner,

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

without compliance with item (ii) above, provided written notice thereof is
promptly given to the Company.

                2.15 Standoff Agreement. Each Holder and each Key Common Holder
agrees, in connection with the Company's initial public offering of the
Company's securities that upon request of the Company or the underwriters
managing any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, not to sell,
make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise
dispose of any Registrable Securities and any other securities of the Company
(other than those included in the registration) without the prior written
consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period
of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) from the effective date of
such registration as may be requested by the underwriters; provided, that the
officers and directors of the Company who own stock of the Company also agree to
such restrictions.

                                    SECTION 3

                            EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT

                3.1 Termination of Other Rights. The Company, the Series A
Investors, the Series B Investors, the Series C Investors, the Series D
Investors, the Series E Investors and the Original Series F Investors
acknowledge and agree that this Agreement supersedes the Prior Agreement, and
hence such agreement is terminated in its entirety. All parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that this Agreement supersedes any and all prior
registration rights granted by the Company to them, and that such rights are
terminated in their entirety.

                                    SECTION 4

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to
the subjects hereof. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement
nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than
by a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such
amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is sought; provided, however, that
holders of a majority of the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of
the Preferred may, with the Company's prior written consent, waive, modify or
amend on behalf of all holders, any provisions hereof.

                4.3 Notices, etc. All notices and other communications required
or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid or otherwise delivered by hand, by facsimile or

such other address as such Purchaser shall have furnished to the Company in
writing, with a copy to Barry B. White, Esq., Foley, Hoag & Eliot LLP, One Post
Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, or (b) if to any other holder of any
shares of Company Stock, at such address as such holder shall have furnished the
Company in writing, or until any such holder so furnishes an address to the
Company, then to and at the address of the last holder of such shares who has so
furnished an address to the Company, or (c) if to the Company, one copy should
be sent to its address set forth in or otherwise specified in the applicable
signature page and addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary or at
such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the Purchasers.

                Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes
of this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given when delivered if
delivered personally or by facsimile, or, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its
receipt or seventy-two (72) hours after the same has been deposited in a
regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail,

defined above, each such notice or other communications required or permitted
hereunder to persons with addresses outside the United States shall be mailed by
air mail or air courier and shall be treated as effective or having been given
five (5) days after mailing.

                4.4 Severability. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect without said provision; provided that no such severability shall be
effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any
party.

                4.5 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not considered in construing or
interpreting this Agreement.

                4.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which may be executed by less than all of the
Purchasers, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually
executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument.

                           KABIRA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                       FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

        This Indemnification Agreement ("AGREEMENT") is made as of this ___ day
of ________, 2000, by and between Kabira Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "COMPANY"), and ______________________ ("INDEMNITEE").

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty
in obtaining directors' and officers' liability insurance, the significant
increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the
coverage of such insurance;

         WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial
increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting officers and directors
to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage
of liability insurance has been severely limited; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of
highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as officers and
directors of the Company and to indemnify its officers and directors so as to
provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for Indemnitee's services as an
officer or director of the Company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as
follows:

        1. INDEMNIFICATION.

               (a) Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or any
alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
Company) by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an
officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the
Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if Indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did
not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any

<PAGE>   2

criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful.

               (b) Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company. The Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while
an officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the
Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other
court shall deem proper.

               (c) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. To the extent that Indemnitee
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 1, or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection therewith.

        2. AGREEMENT TO SERVE. In consideration of the protection afforded by
this Agreement, if Indemnitee is a director of the Company he agrees to serve as
a director and not to resign voluntarily during such period without the written
consent of a majority of the Board of Directors until 90 days after the
effective date of this Agreement. If Indemnitee is an officer of the Company not
serving under an employment contract, he agrees to serve in such capacity at
least for the balance of the current fiscal year and not to resign voluntarily
during such period without the written consent of a majority of the Board of
Directors. Following the applicable period set forth above, Indemnitee agrees to
continue to serve in such capacity at the will of the Company (or under separate
agreement, if such agreement exists) so long as he is duly appointed or elected
and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company or until such time as he tenders his
resignation in writing. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to
create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment.

        3. EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.

               (a) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all
expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
referenced in Section 1(a) or (b) hereof. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay
such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be
determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as
authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the
Company to Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written
request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.

               (b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a
condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give
the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against
Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this
Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the President of the
Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such
other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee and given
as provided in Section 14). In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such
information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within
Indemnitee's power.

               (c) Procedure. Any indemnification and advances provided for in
Section 1 and this Section 3 shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days
after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this
Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification, is not
paid in full by the Company within forty-five (45) days after a written request
for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but
need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 13 of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including
attorneys' fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such
action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it
permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the
amount claimed and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of
expenses pursuant to Subsection 3(a) unless and until such defense may be
finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of
appeal exists. It is the parties' intention that if the Company contests
Indemnitee's right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee's right to
indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the
Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the
Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made
a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct
required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company
(including it Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has
not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that
Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

               (d) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a
notice of a claim pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, the Company has director and
officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of
the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf
of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in
accordance with the terms of such policies.

               (e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be
obligated under Section 3(a) hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding
against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the
defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon the
delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After
delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the
retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ his counsel in any such proceeding at
Indemnitee's expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee
has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the
Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company
shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such
proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company.

        4. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVITY.

               (a) Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically
authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any
change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute, or
rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of
its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be, ipso facto, within
the purview of Indemnitee's rights and Company's obligations, under this
Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule
which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its
board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise
required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have
no effect on this Agreement or the parties' rights and obligations hereunder.

               (b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be
entitled under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any
agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in
Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall
continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an
indemnified capacity even though he may have ceased to serve in such capacity at
the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding.

                                      -4-

        5. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a
portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably
incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount
thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of
such expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

        6. MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge
that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may override
applicable state law and may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its
directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands
and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the
future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the
question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a
determination of the Company's right under public policy to indemnify
Indemnitee.

        7. OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Company shall, from
time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable
for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with
reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors of the
Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company's
performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other
considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance
coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of
director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an
insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits
as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company's directors, if
Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company's officers, if Indemnitee is not a
director of the Company but is an officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the
Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the
amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is
limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee
is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the
Company.

        8. SEVERABILITY. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in
violation of applicable law. The Company's inability, pursuant to court order,
to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided
in this Section 8. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated
on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance
of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.

        9. EXCEPTIONS. Any other provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement:

               (a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance
expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or
brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect
to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under
this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, but such indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the
Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit; or

               (b) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or

               (c) Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or
liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which
have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of
officers' and directors' liability insurance maintained by the Company.

               (d) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for
expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by
Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

        10. CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN PHRASES.

               (a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the "Company"
shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent
corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees
or agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee
would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.

               (b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to "other
enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall
include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee
benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Company" shall
include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer,
employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or
beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner
"not opposed to the best interests of the Company" as referred to in this
Agreement.

        11. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

        12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and Indemnitee's estate, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

        13. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event that any action is instituted by
Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action,
unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines
that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such
action were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of an action
instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement or to enforce
or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by
Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to Indemnitee's
counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such
action the court determines that each of Indemnitee's material defenses to such
action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.

        14. NOTICE. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if
delivered by hand and receipted for by the party addressee, on the date of such
receipt, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage
prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for
notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or
as subsequently modified by written notice.

        15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby
irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware
for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of
or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this
Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware.

        16. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as
applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed
entirely within Delaware without regard to the conflict of law principles
thereof.

        17. PERIOD OF LIMITATIONS. No legal action shall be brought and no cause
of action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against
Indemnitee, Indemnitee's estate, spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal
representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of
such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be
extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal
action within such

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

two-year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is
otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall
govern.

        18. SUBROGATION. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the
Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do
all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

        19. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. No amendment, modification, termination
or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing
signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions
hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.

        20. INTEGRATION AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the
entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all
previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and
agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.
