<PAGE>   2

          WHEREAS, the Parties wish to further amend and restate the
Stockholders Agreement to maintain certain agreements regarding the election of
directors and to place certain restrictions on the Shares (as defined below) now
or hereafter owned by each Principal and each Investor;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Board of Directors.

          (a)  The Principals and the Investors agree to vote all shares of
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock and any other class of voting security of the Corporation now or
hereafter owned or controlled by them (collectively, the "Shares"), and
otherwise to use their respective best efforts as shareholders of the
Corporation, to set the number of directors of the Corporation at eight and to
elect as directors in any subsequent election of directors of the Corporation:
the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; one person designated by the
holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Common Stock voting as a
class (the "Common Stockholder Director") who shall initially be Jonathan B.
Radoff; one person designated by the holders of a majority of all outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting as a class, who shall initially be
Robert C. Fleming; one person designated by Alliance Technology Ventures II,
L.P. ("ATV") who shall initially be Nick Papantonis (the director being
designated by the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and the director designated by ATV being hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Investor Directors") and four directors having relevant
industry experience and approved by the Principals and the Series A Investors
and Series B Investors jointly, who shall initially be Deborah Besemer, Joseph
J. Tischler, Edson deCastro and Alain Hanover.

          (b)  The holders of a majority in interest of the Common Stock, the
Series A Investors and ATV shall each furnish written notice of their respective
director-designees to the other Parties at least 3 days prior to any election of
directors. In the absence of such notice, the director-designees then serving
and previously designated shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as
provided herein. No Party shall vote to remove any Investor Director unless a
majority in interest of the Series A Investors or ATV, as applicable, so votes,
and if a majority in interest of the Series A Investors or ATV, as applicable,
so votes then the other Parties shall likewise so vote. No Party shall vote to
remove any director approved by a majority in interest of the Investors without
the prior written consent of a majority in interest of the Investors.

          (c)  Any vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation,
removal, incapacity or death of any person designated or approved under this
Section 1 shall be filled by another person designated or approved by the
original designating or approving party

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

or parties. The Investors and the Principals shall vote their respective Shares
in accordance with such new designation or approval, and any such vacancy shall
not be filled in the absence of a new designation or approval by the original
designating or approving party or parties or by the other members of the Board
of Directors, as the case may be.

          (d)  If and for so long as TGI Fund I, LC ("Tredegar") does not have
the power to designate a representative on the Corporation's Board of Directors,
Tredegar will be permitted to send one representative (the "Representative") to
attend in a nonvoting observer capacity all meetings of the Board of Directors
and the Corporation will give the Representative copies of all notices, minutes,
consents and other material that the Corporation provides to its Directors;
provided, however, that the Corporation reserves the right to exclude the
Representative from access to any material or from all or any portion of any
meeting, if the Corporation believes upon advice of counsel that such exclusion
is reasonably necessary (i) to preserve attorney-client privilege, (ii) due to a
conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest between the Corporation
and Tredegar or (iii) to preserve highly confidential information of the
Corporation; and provided, further, that Tredegar, itself and on behalf of the
Representative, agrees to abide by the terms of Section 8.1 of the Purchase
Agreement, with respect to all material and information obtained by the
Representative by virtue of the observer rights granted in this subsection as
though such material and information were "Proprietary Information" as defined
in Section 8.1 of the Purchase Agreement. The Representative shall be entitled
to reimbursement by the Company of such Representative's reasonable expenses
actually incurred in connection with the attendance of meetings of the Board of
Directors. The rights granted to Tredegar under this subsection shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (x) the date
as of which Tredegar or its Affiliates ceases to hold at least 500,000 shares of
the Corporation's Preferred Stock, or (y) the closing of a Qualified Public
Offering (defined below).

     2.   Committees. The Parties shall cause the Board of Directors to
establish a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which shall
conduct performance reviews of management, set annual compensation of management
and make recommendations regarding the granting of options under the
Corporation's Stock Option Plan or otherwise, and an Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, which shall review the accounting practices of the
Corporation, including the selection of the Corporation's accountants and review
of significant accounting policies and procedures. The Parties shall cause the
Board of Directors to nominate and appoint (a) as members of the Compensation
Committee, a director who is an officer of the Corporation, one of the Investor
Directors and one of the directors having relevant industry experience and (b)
as members of the Audit Committee, a director who is an officer of the
Corporation, one of the Investor Directors and one of the directors having
relevant industry experience. All determinations by the Compensation Committee
regarding compensation of management shall be subject to the approval of the
Investor Director selected to serve on such Compensation Committee.

     3.   Director Indemnification.

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

          (a)  The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law as then in effect, indemnify any person (the "Indemnitee") who is
or was a director of the Corporation and who is or was involved in any manner
(including, without limitation, as a party or a witness) or is threatened to be
made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim,
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding by
or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) (a
"Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of
the Corporation, or is or was serving any other corporation or entity in any
capacity at the request of the Corporation, against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding; provided,
however, that, except where the Indemnitee seeks adjudication of his or her
entitlement to such indemnification, the foregoing shall not apply to a director
of the Corporation with respect to a Proceeding that was commenced by such
director. Such indemnification shall be a contract right and shall include the
right to receive payment in advance of any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee
in connection with such Proceeding, without regard to the Indemnitee's ability
to repay such advance payments.

          (b)  In the event that any director elected pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement shall be made or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding
with respect to which such director may be entitled to indemnification by the
Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation or otherwise, such director shall be entitled to be represented in
such Proceeding by counsel selected by such director and the reasonable expenses
of such representation shall be reimbursed by the Corporation to the extent
provided in or authorized by this Agreement, the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation or other provision and permitted by applicable law.

          (c)  The Parties agree not to take any action to amend any provision
of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation relating to
indemnification of directors, as presently in effect, without the prior written
consent of the Investors.

     4.   Prohibited Transfers. None of the Principals or the Investors (each a
"Restricted Stockholder") shall sell, assign or transfer, by gift or otherwise,
all or any part of the Shares now or hereafter owned by such Restricted
Stockholder except in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

     5.   Offer of Sale; Notice of Proposed Sale. If any Restricted Stockholder
desires to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares now or hereafter
owned by such Restricted Stockholder in a bona fide transaction to an unrelated
third party, or of any interest in such Shares, whether voluntarily or by
operation of law, in any transaction other than pursuant to Section 9 of this
Agreement, such Restricted Stockholder (the "Selling Restricted Stockholder")
shall first provide written notice of the Selling Restricted Stockholder's
desire to do so (the

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

"Notice") to the Corporation and each of the Investors and each of the
Principals. The Notice must specify: (i) the name and address of the party to
which the Selling Restricted Stockholder proposes to sell or otherwise dispose
of the Shares or an interest in the Shares (the "Offeree"), (ii) the number of
Shares the Selling Restricted Stockholder proposes to sell or otherwise dispose
of (the "Offered Shares"), (iii) the consideration per share to be delivered to
the Selling Restricted Stockholder for the proposed sale, transfer or
disposition and (iv) all other material terms and conditions of the proposed
transaction, which must be bona fide.

     6.   Corporation's Option to Purchase.

          (a)  Subject to Section 8(a), the Corporation shall have the first
option to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares for the consideration
per share and on the terms and conditions specified in the relevant Notice. If
the Corporation wishes to exercise such option, it must do so by written notice
to the Selling Restricted Stockholder no later than 15 business days after such
Notice is given to it (the "Primary Option Period").

          (b)  In the event the Corporation does not exercise its option within
the Primary Option Period with respect to all of the Offered Shares, the
Corporation shall, on or before the last day of such period, give written notice
of that fact to the Investors and the Principals (the "Investor/Principal
Notice"). The Investor/Principal Notice shall specify the number of Offered
Shares the Corporation has not elected to purchase (the "Remaining Shares").

          (c)  In the event the Corporation duly exercises its option to
purchase all of the Offered Shares, the closing of such purchase shall take
place at the offices of the Corporation on the date five business days after the
expiration of the Primary Option Period. In the event the Corporation duly
exercises its option to purchase a portion of the Offered Shares, the closing of
such purchase shall take place at the offices of the Corporation on the date of
the closing of the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section
7(c) or 8(b) hereof.

          (d)  To the extent that the consideration proposed to be paid by the
Offeree for the Offered Shares consists of property other than cash or a
promissory note, the consideration required to be paid by the Corporation and
any Investors and Principals exercising their options under Sections 6 and 7
hereof (collectively, the "Purchasing Parties") may consist of cash equal to the
Fair Market Value of such property. For the purposes of this Section 6(d), the
"Fair Market Value" of such property shall be determined as follows: If, within
20 days after the termination of the applicable Option Period, the Selling
Restricted Stockholder and the Purchasing Parties agree upon the fair market
value of such property, then the Fair Market Value shall be as so agreed. If the
Selling Restricted Stockholder and the Purchasing Parties do not agree upon the
Fair Market Value within such 20 day period but agree upon an appraiser to
determine the fair market value of such property, then such appraiser shall make
such determination and such determination shall govern. If the Selling
Restricted Stockholder and the Purchasing Parties do not, within such 20 day
period, agree as to the Fair Market Value or as

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

to a single appraiser to determine the fair market value of such property, then
the Selling Restricted Stockholder shall, by notice to the Purchasing Parties,
appoint one appraiser, and the Purchasing Parties shall, by notice to the
Selling Restricted Stockholder, appoint one appraiser, both experienced in the
appraisal of the type of property to be appraised. If either the Selling
Restricted Stockholder or the Purchasing Parties shall fail to appoint such an
appraiser within 15 days after the lapse of such 20-day period, then the
appraiser appointed by the party which does appoint an appraiser shall make the
appraisal of the Fair Market Value, and such appraisal shall govern. If two
appraisers are appointed, then the average of the appraisals rendered by such
appraisers shall be considered the Fair Market Value. All appraisal reports
shall be rendered in writing and shall be signed by the appraiser(s), and the
Selling Restricted Stockholder and the Purchasing Parties shall use reasonable
efforts to cause each appraiser to render its appraisal report within 20 days
after the date of its appointment. The costs of the appraisals shall be borne by
the Corporation.

     7.   Investors'/Principals' Option to Purchase or Right to Participate in
          Sales.

          (a)  Subject to Section 8(a), each Investor (other than the Selling
Restricted Stockholder, if an Investor) and each Principal (other than the
Selling Restricted Stockholder, if a Principal) shall have an option,
exercisable for a period of 15 business days from the date of delivery to such
Investor or Principal, as the case may be, of the Investor/Principal Notice (the
"Secondary Option Period" and, together with the Primary Option Period, the
"Option Period"), to purchase, on a pro rata basis, its Proportionate Percentage
(as defined below) of the Remaining Shares for the consideration per share and
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Investor/Principal Notice. Such
option shall be exercised by providing written notice to the Corporation.
Alternatively, if the Selling Restricted Stockholder has sold in the immediately
preceding 12 months, or, together with the Offered Shares, will sell more than
1,000 Common Equivalent Shares, each Investor (other than the Selling Restricted
Stockholder, if an Investor) may, within the Secondary Option Period, notify the
Corporation of its desire to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares at an
Equivalent Price Per Share (as defined in Section 8 below), on the terms set
forth in the Investor/Principal Notice, up to an equivalent proportion of the
shares of Common Stock owned by such Investor or issuable to such Investor
pursuant to the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock owned by such
Investor ("Common Equivalent Shares") as the proposed sale represents with
respect to all Common Equivalent Shares then owned by the Selling Restricted
Stockholder.

          (b)  In the event options to purchase have been exercised by the
Investors or the Principals with respect to some but not all of the Remaining
Shares, the Corporation shall, on or before the last day of the Option Period,
give written notice of that fact to those Investors and Principals who have
exercised their options in full within such period (the "Second
Investor/Principal Notice"). The Second Investor/Principal Notice shall specify
the number of Remaining Shares the Investors and Principals have not elected to
purchase. Each Investor and Principal who has exercised its options in full
within the Option Period shall have an additional

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), for a period of 10 business days after the
Second Investor/Principal Notice is given to such Investor or Principal, as the
case may be, to purchase all or any part of the balance of such Remaining Shares
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice, which option shall be
exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Corporation. In the event
that there are two or more such Investors or Principals that choose to exercise
the Over-Allotment Option for a total number of Remaining Shares in excess of
the number available, the Remaining Shares available for each such Investor's or
Principal's option shall be allocated to such Investors and Principals pro rata
based on the number of Common Equivalent Shares owned by the Investors and
Principals electing to exercise the Over-Allotment Option.

          (c)  If the options to purchase the Remaining Shares are exercised in
full by the Investors or Principals, the Corporation shall immediately notify
all of the exercising Investors and Principals of that fact. If such options are
so exercised, the closing of the purchase of the Remaining Shares shall take
place at the offices of the Corporation five business days after delivery of
such notice to the Investors and Principals.

          (d)  As used in this Section 7, the term "Proportionate Percentage"
shall mean, with respect to each Investor and each Principal, a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Equivalent Shares owned
by such Investor or Principal, and the denominator of which shall be the total
number of Common Equivalent Shares owned by all Investors (other than the
Selling Restricted Stockholder, if an Investor) and Principals (other than the
Selling Restricted Stockholder, if a Principal).

     8.   Failure Fully to Exercise Options; Co-Sale.

          (a)  If the Corporation, the Investors and the Principals do not
exercise their options to purchase all of the Offered Shares within their
respective Option Periods, then the Offered Shares with respect to which such
options have not been exercised may be sold by the Selling Restricted
Stockholder to the Offeree, at a price not greater than that set forth and on
terms no less favorable to the Selling Restricted Stockholder than those set
forth in the Investor/Principal Notice, at any time on or prior to 60 days after
the expiration of the relevant Option Period; provided, however, that each
Investor which has, pursuant to Section 7, expressed a desire to sell shares in
the transaction (a "Participating Investor") shall be entitled to do so. The
Corporation shall promptly, on expiration of the Option Period, notify the
Selling Restricted Stockholder of the aggregate number of Common Equivalent
Shares the Participating Investors wish to sell. The Selling Restricted
Stockholder shall use his or her best efforts to interest the Offeree in
purchasing, in addition to the Offered Shares, the shares the Participating
Investors wish to sell. If the Offeree does not wish to purchase all of the
shares made available by the Selling Restricted Stockholder and the
Participating Investors, then each Participating Investor and the Selling
Restricted Stockholder shall be entitled to sell, at the price and on the terms
and conditions set forth in the Notice, a portion of the shares being sold to
the Offeree, in the same proportion as such Selling Restricted Stockholder or
Participating Investor's ownership

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

of Common Equivalent Shares bears to the aggregate number of Common Equivalent
Shares owned by the Selling Restricted Stockholder and the Participating
Investors.

          (b)  If the Corporation, the Investors and the Principals do not
exercise their options to purchase all of the Offered Shares within their
respective Option Periods, the closings of any purchases of the Offered Shares
by the Corporation or the Offeree and the closings of any purchases or sales of
the Offered Shares by the Investors and the Principals shall take place
simultaneously at the offices of the Corporation on a date within 60 days after
the expiration of the relevant Option Period.

          (c)  If the Participating Investors do not elect to sell the full
number of shares which they are entitled to sell pursuant to Section 8(a), the
Selling Restricted Stockholder shall be entitled to sell to the Offeree,
according to the terms set forth in the Investor/Principal Notice, that number
of Shares which equals the difference between the number of shares desired to be
purchased by the Offeree and the number of Common Equivalent Shares the
Participating Investors wish to sell. If the Selling Restricted Stockholder
wishes to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Shares at a price per share
which differs from that set forth in the Investor/Principal Notice, upon terms
different from those previously offered to the Corporation, the Investors and
the Principals, or more than 60 days after the expiration of the relevant Option
Period, as a condition precedent to such transaction, such Shares must first be
offered to the Corporation, the Investors and the Principals on the same terms
and conditions as given the Offeree, and in accordance with the procedures and
time periods set forth above.

          (d)  The proceeds of any sale made by the Selling Restricted
Stockholder without compliance with the provisions of this Section 8 shall be
deemed to be held in constructive trust in such amount as would have been due
the Participating Investors if the Selling Restricted Stockholder had complied
with this Agreement.

          (e)  As used in Section 7, the term an "Equivalent Price Per Share"
with respect to a Share proposed to be sold by a Restricted Stockholder means:
(i) in the case of a share of Common Stock, the same price per share as the
share of Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Restricted Stockholder; (ii) in
the case of a share of Preferred Stock (A) if the Shares proposed to be sold by
the Selling Restricted Stockholder are shares of Common Stock, a price per share
equal to the price per share of Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Selling
Restricted Stockholder multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each such share of the applicable series of Preferred Stock is then
convertible or (B) if the Shares proposed to be sold are shares of Preferred
Stock, the same price per share as the share of the applicable series of
Preferred Stock proposed to be sold by the Selling Restricted Stockholder.

     9.   Permitted Transfers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
and subject to the next sentence of this Section 9, the provisions of Sections 5
through 8 shall not apply to: (a) any transfer by gift or bequest to, or for the
benefit of, any member or members of

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

a Principal's or an Investor's immediate family (if applicable), provided that
such transfers do not, in the aggregate, exceed 49% of the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock held by such Principal or such Investor, as the case may
be; (b) any transfer of shares of Common Stock by a Principal, or an Investor,
as the case may be, to a trust (i) in respect of which such Principal or such
Investor, as the case may be, serves as trustee, provided that the trust
instrument governing such trust shall provide that such Principal, or such
Investor, as the case may be, as trustee, shall retain sole and exclusive
control over the voting and disposition of such shares until the termination of
this Agreement, and (ii) which is for the benefit of any member or members of
such Principal's or Investor's immediate family; (c) any sale or transfer of
Shares to the Corporation; (d) any sale or transfer of Shares by an Investor to
an affiliate of such Investor (including, without limitation, any partner of
such Investor); and (e) any public offering of Shares pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at an
initial public offering price per share of not less than $3.08 (appropriately
adjusted to take account of any stock split, stock dividend, combination of
shares, recapitalization or the like) and with aggregate net proceeds to the
Corporation of not less than $15,000,000 (a "Qualified Public Offering"). In the
event of any transfer described in the first sentence of this Section 9, other
than pursuant to clause (c) or (e) of this Section 9, the transferee of the
shares shall hold the shares so acquired subject to all the restrictions imposed
by this Agreement and shall be deemed a Principal, if such shares are acquired
from a Principal, or an Investor, if such shares are acquired from an Investor,
for all purposes hereof. As a condition to any such transfer, (i) the Selling
Restricted Stockholder shall give written notice thereof to the Investors and
the Principals, which notice shall include a brief description of the terms of
such transfer, and (ii) each such transferee shall execute and deliver a written
instrument agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. As used
herein, "immediate family" shall mean a person's spouse, parents, children and
siblings.

     10.  Effect of Prohibited Transfer. The Corporation shall not (a) transfer
on its books any Shares which shall have been sold or transferred in violation
of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (b) treat as the owner
of or pay dividends to any transferee to whom any Shares shall have been sold or
transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement.

     11.  Restrictive Legend. All certificates representing Shares held by
Principals or Investors or their permitted transferees under Section 9 hereof
shall have affixed thereto a legend in substantially the following form, in
addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state
securities laws or by the terms of any other agreement:

          "The shares of stock represented by this certificate are
          subject to a certain Stockholders Agreement among the
          Corporation and certain stockholders of the Corporation.
          Such Agreement is available for inspection without charge
          at the office of the Treasurer of the Corporation."

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

     12.  Other Parties. The Corporation shall cause each of its and its
subsidiaries' employees who becomes the beneficial owner of two percent (2%) or
more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (calculated in
accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any successor rule thereto) to execute a counterpart of this
Agreement, countersigned by the Corporation, as if the employee were a
Principal, at which time the employee shall be bound by, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of, this Agreement, as if the employee were a Principal. The
Corporation shall from time to time promptly furnish each Party a copy of each
such counterpart of this Agreement.

     13.  Termination. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, this
Agreement, and the respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder,
shall terminate upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering; provided,
however, that the provisions of Section 3(a) and (b) shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.

     14.  Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be given
in accordance with Section 17 of the Purchase Agreement.

     15.  Equitable Relief. The Parties agree and acknowledge that money damages
are not an adequate remedy for breach of the provisions of this Agreement and
that, in addition to any other remedy a Party may have for a breach of this
Agreement, such Party may be entitled to an injunction restraining any such
breach or threatened breach, or a decree of specific performance, without
posting any bond or security. The remedy in this Section 15 is in addition to,
and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies a party may have.

     16.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings between them or any of them as to such
subject matter.

     17.  Waivers and Further Agreements. Any of the rights of the Investors may

of the shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (counted as a single class) owned by the
Investors, or their successors, assigns and transferees of their rights
hereunder. Any of the rights of the Principals may be waived with the written
consent of the holders of two-thirds in voting power of the shares of Common
Stock owned by the Principals, or their successors, assigns and transferees of
their rights hereunder. Any waiver of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach
of that provision or of any other provision hereof. Each of the Parties agrees
to execute all such further instruments and documents and to take all such
further action as any other Party may reasonably require in order to effectuate
the terms and purposes of this Agreement.

                           SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
("Agreement") is entered into as of the 8th day of November, 1999, by and among
Eprise Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation") with its
principal place of business located at 1671 Worcester Road, Framingham,
Massachusetts 01701, the holders (the "Series A Investors") of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred
Stock"), the holders (the "Series B Investors") of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), and
the purchasers (the "Series C Investors") of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock" and,
collectively with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the "Preferred
Stock"). The Series A Investors, Series B Investors and Series C Investors
listed on the Schedule of Investors hereto are referred to herein collectively
as the "Investors" and each such party is referred to herein individually as an
"Investor".

     WHEREAS, the Corporation wishes to sell to the Series C Investors shares of
Series C Preferred Stock which are convertible into shares of the Common Stock,
par value $.001 per share, of the Corporation ("Common Stock");

     WHEREAS, as a condition to their purchase of Series C Preferred Stock, in a
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith
(the "Purchase Agreement"), the Investors have required that the Corporation
execute this Agreement to provide the Series C Investors rights to register
their Registrable Securities (as defined below);

     WHEREAS, the Company, the Series A Investors and the Series B Investors are
parties to an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of
August 24, 1998, which amended and restated the Registration Rights Agreement by
and between the Company and the Series A Investors, dated as of December 18,
1997 (collectively, the "Registration Rights Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to further amend and restate the
Registration Rights Agreement as set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained
and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.   Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:

          (a)  The term "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

<PAGE>   2

          (b)  The term "1934 Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended;

          (c)  The term "Holder" means any Investor holding Registrable
Securities and any other person or entity holding Registrable Securities to whom
the registration rights granted in this Agreement have been transferred pursuant
to Section 15 hereof. The Series C Investors are referred to herein as the
"Series C Holders," and the Series A Investors and Series B Investors are
referred to herein collectively as the "Series A and B Holders";

          (d)  The terms "register", "registered", and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Act and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
registration statement; and

          (e)  The term "Registrable Securities" means (1) the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, (2) the Common Stock purchased
by an Investor pursuant to Section 9.2 of the Purchase Agreement (or Common
Stock for or into which New Securities (as therein defined) purchased by the
Investor pursuant to such Section 9.2 may be exercised or converted) or pursuant
to the Stockholders Agreement referred to in Section 5.3 of the Purchase
Agreement; (3) any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with
respect to, or in exchange or in replacement of, such Preferred Stock or Common
Stock, (4) any Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of
convertible securities, warrants, options or similar rights issued as a dividend
or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange or in replacement of, such
Preferred Stock or Common Stock and (5) any other shares of Common Stock
acquired by an Investor.

     In addition, for purposes of all calculations, and notices under, and all
provisions of this Agreement, where the context permits, the term "Registrable
Securities" shall include securities issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock, a holder of the Preferred Stock shall be deemed the Holder of such
securities and such securities shall be deemed outstanding Registrable
Securities hereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Agreement
shall require the Corporation actually to register any share of the Preferred
Stock or any other class of security other than Common Stock.

     2.   Request for Registration.

     (a)  If, at any time after the earlier to occur of (i) December 18, 2000,
and (ii) the date which is six months after the effective date of a registration
statement under the Act in connection with the initial public offering of the
Corporation's securities for its own account or the account of its stockholders
(the "Initial Public Offering") the Corporation shall receive a written request
(specifying that it is being made pursuant to this Section 2) from Series C
Holders of forty percent (40%) or more of the then outstanding Registrable
Securities held by the Series C Holders that the Corporation file a registration
statement under the Act for a public offering of Registrable Securities with a
reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of at least $10,000,000 (or
a similar document pursuant to any other statute then in effect corresponding to
the Act) then the Corporation shall promptly notify all other Series C Holders

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

of such request. Each Series C Holder so notified shall have twenty (20) days
after mailing of any such notice by the Corporation to request that some or all
of such Series C Holder's Registrable Securities be included in such
registration. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause to be
registered under the Act all Registrable Securities that Series C Holders have
requested be so registered under the Act in accordance with this Section 2.

     (b)  If, at any time after the earlier to occur of (i) December 18, 2000,
and (ii) the date which is six months after the effective date of a registration
statement under the Act in connection with the initial public offering of the
Corporation's securities for its own account or the account of its stockholders
(the "Initial Public Offering") the Corporation shall receive a written request
(specifying that it is being made pursuant to this Section 2) from the Series A
and B Holders of forty percent (40%) or more of the then outstanding Registrable
Securities held by the Series A and B Holders that the Corporation file a
registration statement under the Act, or a similar document pursuant to any
other statute then in effect corresponding to the Act, then the Corporation
shall promptly notify all other Series A and B Holders of such request. Each
Series A and B Holder so notified shall have twenty (20) days after mailing of
any such notice by the Corporation to request that some or all of such Series A
and B Holder's Registrable Securities be included in such registration. The
Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause to be registered under the Act
all Registrable Securities that Series A and B Holders have requested be so
registered under the Act in accordance with this Section 2.

     (c)  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be obligated
to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2: (i) during the thirty (30)
days prior to the Corporation's estimated date of filing of a registration
statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of securities for the
account of the Corporation, provided that the Corporation is actively employing
in good faith its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective and that the Corporation's estimate of the date of filing such
registration statement is made in good faith, or (ii) if the Corporation shall
furnish to the requesting Holders a certificate signed by the President of the
Corporation stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it
would be seriously detrimental to the Corporation or its stockholders for a
registration statement to be filed in the near future and setting forth the
reasons for such judgment, in which case the Company's obligation to use its
best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a period not
to exceed three (3) months, provided, however, that the Corporation may not
obtain a deferral pursuant to this clause (ii) more than once.

     The Corporation shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2)
registrations pursuant to each of Section 2(a) and Section 2(b); provided,
however, that if, for any reason, a registration pursuant to this Section 2
fails to become effective and provide for the distributions of all the
Registrable Securities that the requesting Holders have requested be registered,
the Corporation shall not be deemed to have effected a registration pursuant to
this Section 2.

     3.   Corporation Registration. Subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, if
at any time the Corporation proposes to register any of its Common Stock under
the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities for its own
account or for the accounts of other shareholders, solely for cash on a form
that would also permit the registration of the Registrable

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

Securities, the Corporation shall, each such time, promptly give each Holder
written notice of such determination. Upon the written request of any Holder
given within twenty (20) days after mailing of any such notice by the
Corporation, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause to be
registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder
has requested be registered. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Corporation may,
in its discretion, withdraw any registration statement referred to in this
Section 3 prior to the effectiveness thereof.

     4.   Obligations of the Corporation. Whenever required under Section 2, 3
or 11 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities, the Corporation shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

          (a)  Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and
use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain
effective; provided, however, that in connection with any proposed registration
intended to permit an offering of any securities from time to time (i.e., a
so-called "shelf registration"), the Corporation shall in no event be obligated
to cause any such registration to remain effective for more than one hundred
eighty (180) days.

          (b)  Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.

          (c)  Furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

          (d)  Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the
distribution of the securities covered by the registration statement, provided
that the Corporation shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

          (e)  Provide a transfer agent for the Common Stock no later than the
effective date of the first registration of any Registrable Securities.

          (f)  Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC.

          (g)  Use its best efforts to cause all the applicable Registrable
Securities either (i) to be listed on a national securities exchange (if the
Registrable Securities are not already so listed) and on each additional
national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the
Corporation are then listed, if the listing of the Registrable Securities is
then permitted under

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

the rules of such exchange, or (ii) to secure designation of all the Registrable
Securities as a NASDAQ "national market system security" within the meaning of
Rule 11Aa2-1 of the SEC or, failing that, to secure listing on NASDAQ for the
Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to
arrange for at least two (2) market makers to register as such with respect to
Registrable Securities with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

          (h)  Enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as sellers of
applicable Registrable Securities shall reasonably request in order to expedite
or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

          (i)  In the case of an underwritten offering, on the date of delivery
of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant thereto, cause to be delivered to
the selling Holders and the underwriters, opinions of counsel for the
Corporation, which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be
reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the underwriters and counsel for the
selling Holders, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions given to
underwriters in primary underwritten public offerings. At the time of delivery
of any Registrable Securities sold pursuant to an underwritten offering, the
Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the selling Holders and the
underwriters a letter from the Corporation's independent public accountants,
addressed to the underwriters and the selling Holders, stating that they are
independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and the applicable
published rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and otherwise in
customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are
customarily covered by letters of the independent public accountants delivered
in connection with underwritten public offerings.

          (j)  Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
Securities, by any underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected
pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by any such seller or any such underwriter, all pertinent
financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents and properties of
the Corporation, and cause all of the Corporation's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller,
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.

          (k)  Permit any selling Holder of Registrable Securities which Holder,
in the sole and exclusive judgment, exercised in good faith, of such Holder,
might be deemed to be a controlling person of the Corporation (within the
meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act) to participate in the preparation of such
registration statement and to request the insertion therein of material,
furnished to the Corporation in writing, which in the judgment of such
controlling Holder should be included and which is reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation.

          (l)  Use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or of any
order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any
such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest reasonable
time.

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

          (m)  Make such representations and warranties to the selling Holders
and the underwriters as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters and
selling Holders, as the case may be, in underwritten public offerings.

     5.   Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Corporation to take any action pursuant to this Agreement
that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Corporation such information
regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended
method of disposition of such securities as the Corporation shall reasonably
request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by
the Corporation.

     6.   Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses incurred in connection
with the registration of securities effected pursuant to Section 2 (excluding
underwriters' discounts and commissions), including, without limitation, all
registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Corporation, and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders, shall be borne by the
Corporation.

     7.   Corporation Registration Expenses. All expenses (excluding
underwriters' discounts and commissions) incurred in connection with a
registration pursuant to Section 3 hereto, including, without limitation, any
additional registration and qualification fees and any additional fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Corporation that result from the inclusion of
securities held by the Holders in such registration and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders, shall be borne by the
Corporation.

     8.   Underwriting Requirements.

          (a)  In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of
shares being issued by the Corporation or sold by Holders of Registrable
Securities exercising their rights under Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, the
Corporation shall not be required under Section 3 to include any of the Holders'
Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the
underwriting as agreed upon between the Corporation and the underwriters
selected by it. If the total amount of securities that all selling Holders
request to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount of
securities that the underwriters reasonably believe compatible with the success
of the offering, the Corporation shall only be required to include in the
offering so many of the securities of the selling Holders as the underwriters
reasonably believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders
according to the total amount of securities owned by said selling Holders, or in
such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders);
provided, however, that (i) no securities of any shareholder who is not a
selling Holder shall be included unless all securities which the selling Holders
have requested to be included are included, (ii) in the case of any registration
subject to Section 3 (other than the Corporation's first registration under the
Act), no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities the selling Holders
have requested to be included in such registration shall limit the number of
Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to such registration for the
account of selling Holders to less than thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate
shares offered under the

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

registration, (iii) subject to clause (ii) of this proviso, in the case of any
registration subject to Section 3, no such reduction shall be made with respect
to any securities offered by the Corporation for its own account, and (iv) in
the case of a registration subject to Section 2(a) for the account of the Class
C Holders or Section 2(b) for the account of the Class A and B Holders, the
Registrable Securities of the Holders who did not elect under Section 2 (or
whose election was received by the Corporation after its receipt of another
election under Section 2(a) or 2(b), as the case may be) shall be reduced in
full before there is any reduction in the Registrable Securities to be included
in the registration by the Holders who elected under Section 2 (provided,
however, that if requests have been made under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) and all of
the Registrable Securities requested to be included by both such groups are
included in full, then such registration shall count as one registration under
Section 2 for each such group of Holders.

          (b)  In connection with any underwriting of shares to be registered
hereunder, the Corporation shall have the right to designate the managing
underwriter or underwriters, subject to the consent of the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities participating in the underwriting, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such underwriter or
underwriters are of recognized national or regional standing.

     9.   Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to take any
action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of
any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of this Agreement.

     10.  Indemnification and Contribution. In the event any Registrable
Securities are included in a registration statement under this Agreement:

          (a)  To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation will indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder requesting or joining in a registration, any
underwriter (as defined in the Act) for it, and each person, if any, who
controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
registration statement, including, without limitation, any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arise out of any
violation by the Corporation of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act
applicable to the Corporation and relating to action or inaction required of the
Corporation in connection with any such registration; and will reimburse each
such Holder, such underwriter, or controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action, provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Corporation (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the
Corporation be liable in any such case with respect to any such Holder or
underwriter for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in connection
with such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or
amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

          (b)  To the extent permitted by law, each Holder requesting or joining
in a registration will indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, each of its
directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each
person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of the Act, and
any underwriter for the Corporation (within the meaning of the Act) against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Corporation or any such
director, officer, controlling person or underwriter may become subject, under
the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such
registration statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or
amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection
with such registration; and will reimburse the Corporation or any such director,
officer, controlling person or underwriter for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(b) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and provided further that no Holder
shall have any liability under this Section 10(b) in excess of the net proceeds
actually received by such Holder in the relevant public offering.

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and,
to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that if the defendants
in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
appoint counsel to defend such action and approval by the indemnified party of
such counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

such indemnified party under this Section 10 or otherwise for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate
counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it
being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel (plus any local counsel)
representing each indemnified party who or which is a party to such action),
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the
indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified
party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i)
or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel
referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). The failure to notify an indemnifying
party promptly of the commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial
to his ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of
liability to the indemnified party under this Section 10 to such extent, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve him of any
liability that he may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 10.

          (d)  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder of
Registrable Securities exercising rights under this Agreement, or any
controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Section 10 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a
final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration
of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this Section 10 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution
under the Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such
controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under
this Section 10; then, and in each such case, the Corporation and such Holder
will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that
such Holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that
the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by the
registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by such registration statement, and the Corporation is responsible for
the remaining portion; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such
Holder of Registrable Securities will be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the net proceeds received from the sale of all such Registrable
Securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     11.  Registrations on Form S-3.

          (a)  If, at any time after the Corporation becomes eligible to file a
registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3 regardless
of its designation), the Corporation shall receive a written request (specifying
that it is being made pursuant to this Section 11) from Series C Holders of
twenty percent (20%) or more of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities held
by the Series C Holders that the Corporation file a registration

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3 regardless of its
designation) for a public offering of shares of the Series C Holders'
Registrable Securities the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public
of which would exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), then the Corporation
shall use its best efforts to cause such shares to be registered on Form S-3 (or
any successor form to Form S-3). The foregoing notwithstanding, if the
Corporation shall furnish to the Series C Holders a certificate signed by the
President of the Corporation stating that in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Corporation or its
stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future and
setting forth the reasons for such judgment, then the Company's obligation to
use its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a
period not to exceed three (3) months, provided, however, that the Corporation
may not obtain a deferral pursuant to this clause more than once.

          (b)  If, at any time after the Corporation becomes eligible to file a
registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3 regardless
of its designation), the Corporation shall receive a written request (specifying
that it is being made pursuant to this Section 11) from any Series A and B
Holder or Holders of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then-outstanding
Registrable Securities held by the Series A and B Holders that the Corporation
file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3
regardless of its designation) for a public offering of shares of the Series A
and B Holders' Registrable Securities the reasonably anticipated aggregate price
to the public of which would exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), then the
Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause such shares to be registered on
Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3). The foregoing notwithstanding, if
the Corporation shall furnish to the Series A and B Holders a certificate signed
by the President of the Corporation stating that in the good faith judgment of
the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Corporation or
its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future and
setting forth the reasons for such judgment, then the Company's obligation to
use its best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for a
period not to exceed three (3) months, provided, however, that the Corporation
may not obtain a deferral pursuant to this clause more than once.

          (c)  All expenses (excluding underwriters' discounts and commissions)
incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to Section 11(a)
or Section 11(b), including, without limitation, all registration,
qualification, printing and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of one
counsel for the selling Holder or Holders and counsel to the Corporation, for
the first two such requested registrations under each of Section 11(a) and
Section 11(b), shall be borne by the Corporation and thereafter shall be borne
by the selling Holder or Holders.

          (d)  Holders' rights to registration under this Section 11 are in
addition to, and not in lieu of, their rights to registration under Sections 2
and 3 of this Agreement.

     12.  Limitation on Corporation Offerings. The Corporation shall not
register securities for sale for its own account (or, except as permitted by
Section 14, any securities other than Registrable Securities held by a Series C
Holder, in the case of a registration requested pursuant

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

to Section 2(a) hereof, or by a Series A Holder or Series B Holder, in the case
of a registration requested pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof) in any registration
requested pursuant to Section 2 except (i) if permitted to do so by the written
consent of the Holders of more than eighty percent (80%) of the Registrable
Securities as to which registration has been requested or (ii) to the extent
that, in the reasonable opinion of the underwriter, the registration of such
securities would not adversely affect the marketing of the Registrable
Securities to be sold. The Corporation may not cause any other registration of
securities for its own account (other than a registration effected solely to
implement an employee benefit plan) which would become effective less than
ninety (90) days after the effective date of any registration requested pursuant
to Section 2 to be initiated after such requested registration.

     13.  Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the
Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of
the Corporation to the public without registration, the Corporation agrees to
use its best efforts to:

          (a)  make and keep public information available, within the meaning of
Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of (i) the first registration
statement covering an underwritten public offering filed by the Corporation or
(ii) registration by the Corporation under the 1934 Act;

          (b)  following a public offering or a registration under the 1934 Act,
file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the Corporation under the Act and the 1934 Act; and

          (c)  furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request a written statement
by the Corporation that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule
144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of said first
registration statement filed by the Corporation), and of the Act and the 1934
Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Corporation, and such
other reports and documents filed by the Corporation with the SEC as may be
reasonably requested in availing any such holder to take advantage of any rule
or regulation of the SEC permitting the selling of any such securities without
registration.

     14.  Limitations in Connection with Future Grants of Registration Rights.

          (a)  Without the prior written consent of more than fifty percent
(50%) in voting power of the Series C Holders (voting as a separate class), the
Corporation shall not grant rights to cause the Corporation to register any of
its securities to any person or entity if, as a consequence of the granting of
any such rights, the rights of any Series C Holder would be adversely affected
(it being understood that any such registration rights that could result in any
reduction in the number of Registrable Securities to be included in an
underwritten public offering for the account of the Series C Holders shall be
deemed to affect adversely the rights of the Series C Holders under this
Agreement).

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

                  (b) Without the prior written consent of more than fifty
         percent (50%) in voting power of the Series A and B Holders (voting as
         a single class), the Corporation shall not grant rights to cause the
         Corporation to register any of its securities to any person or entity
         if, as a consequence of the granting of any such rights, the rights of
         any of the Series A and B Holders would be adversely affected (it being
         understood that any such registration rights that could result in any
         reduction in the number of Registrable Securities to be included in an
         underwritten public offering for the account of the Series A and B
         Holders shall be deemed to affect adversely the rights of the Series A
         and B Holders under this Agreement).

     15.  Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of any Holder
(and of any permitted transferee of any Holder or such Holder's permitted
transferees) under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities may
be transferred to any assignee who acquires not less than 100,000 shares
(appropriately adjusted to take account of any stock split, stock dividend,
combination of shares, or the like) of Common Stock or Preferred Stock and
executes an instrument agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. The Holder shall
give written notice to the Corporation promptly after any such transfer stating
the name and address of the transferee and identifying the securities with
respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being assigned.

     16.  Mergers, Etc. The Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly, enter
into any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Corporation shall
not be the surviving corporation unless the proposed surviving corporation
shall, prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, agree in writing
to assume the obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement, and for that
purpose references hereunder to "Registrable Securities" shall be deemed to be
references to the securities which the Holders would be entitled to receive in
exchange for Registrable Securities under any such merger, consolidation or
reorganization; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement shall
not apply in the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which
the Corporation is not the surviving corporation if the Holders of Registrable
Securities are entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) cash or (ii)
securities of the acquiring corporation which may be immediately sold to the
public without registration under the Act.

     17.  Each of the Series A Investors and Series B Investors acknowledges and
consents to the registration rights being granted to the Series C Investors
hereunder, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14 of that certain Amended
and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated August 24, 1998 (the "Prior
Registration Rights Agreement"). Each of the Series A Investors and Series B
Investors hereby acknowledges and agrees that the rights granted to them in this
Agreement are meant to supersede the rights granted under the Prior Registration
Rights Agreement.

     18.  Termination of Rights. The rights granted the Holders pursuant to
Sections 2, 3 or 11 hereof shall terminate after the fifth anniversary of the
Initial Public Offering.

     19.  Miscellaneous.

          (a)  This Agreement states the entire agreement of the parties
concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements,
written or oral, between or among them concerning such subject matter.

          (b)  This Agreement may be amended, and compliance with any provision
of this Agreement may be omitted or waived, only by the written agreement of
two-thirds in voting power of each of the Series C Investors (or permitted
transferees of their rights hereunder), acting as a separate class, and the
Series A and B Investors (or permitted transferees of their rights hereunder),
acting as a single class. For purposes of this Section 19, each share of Common
Stock held by an Investor shall be entitled to one vote and each share of
Preferred Stock held by an Investor shall be entitled to a number of votes equal
to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock
is then convertible. A waiver on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver on
any further occasion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any additional Purchaser
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of Series C Preferred Stock shall, by
executing a counterpart of this Agreement, become a Series C Investor hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement.

          (c)  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced
in accordance with, the substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.
