                  AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, NOR WILL ANY ASSIGNEE OR ENDORSEE
                  HEREOF BE RECOGNIZED AS AN OWNER OR HOLDER HEREOF BY THE
                  COMPANY FOR ANY PURPOSE, UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT
                  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY
                  APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS WITH RESPECT TO THIS WARRANT

holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to such holder in

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS

         4.1 Adjustment of Price Per Share. In order to prevent dilution of the
rights granted hereunder, the Price Per Share and the Number of Available
Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this
Article IV.

         4.2 Price Reduction Formula. Except as provided in Section 4.3 or 4.6
below, if and whenever the Company shall issue or sell, or shall in accordance
with Subsections 4.2(a) to (i), inclusive, be deemed to have issued or sold any
shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Price
Per Share in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then
forthwith upon such issue or sale (the "Triggering Transaction"), the Price Per
Share shall, subject to Subsections (a) to (i) of this Section 4.2, be reduced
to the Price Per Share (calculated to the nearest tenth of a cent) determined
by dividing:

                  (i) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product derived by
         multiplying the Number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately
         prior to such Triggering Transaction by the Price Per Share then in
         effect, plus (y) the consideration, if any, received by the Company
         upon consummation of such Triggering Transaction, by

                  (ii) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Number of Common
         Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Triggering
         Transaction plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issued or
         deemed to be issued in accordance with Subsections 4.2(a) to (i) in
         connection with the Triggering Transaction.

         For purposes of determining the adjusted Price Per Share under this
Section 4.2, the following subsections (a) to (i), inclusive, shall apply:

                  (a) Rights Issuance. In case the Company at any time shall in
         any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or
         otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options
         for the purchase of, Common Stock or any stock or other securities
         convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (such rights or
         options being herein called "Options" and such convertible or
         exchangeable stock or securities being herein called "Convertible
         Securities"), whether or not such options or the right to convert or
         exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable
         and the price per share for which the Common Stock is issuable upon
         exercise, conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total
         amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration
         for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
         additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of
         all such Options, plus, in the case of such options which relate to
         Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
         consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such
         Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by
         (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
         the exercise of such

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

         Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities)
         shall be less than the Price Per Share in effect immediately prior to
         the time of the granting of such Option, then the total maximum amount
         of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such options or in the
         case of options for Convertible Securities, upon the conversion or
         exchange of such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of
         granting of such Options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
         issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No further
         adjustment of the Price Per Share shall be made upon the actual issue
         of such shares of Common Stock or such Convertible Securities upon the
         exercise of such Options, except as otherwise provided in Subsection
         (c) below.

                  (b) Convertible Securities Issuance. In case the Company at
         any time shall in any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption
         in a merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether
         or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately
         exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is
         issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x)
         the total amount received or receivable by the Company as
         consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities,
         plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration if any,
         payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y)
         the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
         conversion or exchange of all such convertible Securities) shall be
         less than the Price Per Share in effect immediately prior to the time
         of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of
         Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such
         Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of
         such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have
         been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. No
         further adjustment of the Price Per Share shall be made upon the
         actual issue of such Common Stock upon exercise of the rights to
         exchange or convert under such Convertible Securities, except as
         otherwise provided in Subsection (c) below.

                  (c) Price Changes Under Rights and Convertible Securities. If
         the purchase price provided for in any Options referred to in
         Subsection (a), the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
         conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in
         Subsections (a) or (b), or the rate at which any Convertible
         Securities referred to in Subsection (a) or (b) are convertible into
         or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (other than
         under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution
         of the type set forth in Sections 4.2 or 4.4), the Price Per Share in
         effect at the time of such change shall forthwith be readjusted to the
         Price Per Share which would have been in effect at such time had such
         Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such
         changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate,
         as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. If
         the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in
         Subsection (a) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
         referred to in Subsections (a) or (b) are convertible into or
         exchangeable for Common Stock, shall be reduced at any time under or
         by reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect
         against dilution, then in case of the

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such Option or upon
         conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the Price Per
         Share then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be adjusted to such
         respective amount as would have been obtained had such option or
         Convertible Security never been issued as to such Common stock and had
         adjustments been made upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock
         delivered as aforesaid, but only if as a result of such adjustment the
         Price Per Share then in effect hereunder is hereby reduced.

                  (d) Rights Terminations. On the expiration of any Option or
         the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible
         Securities, the Price Per Share then in effect hereunder shall
         forthwith be increased to the Price Per Share which would have been in
         effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such option
         or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior
         to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

                  (e) Rights For No Consideration. In case any Options shall be
         issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the
         Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no
         specific consideration is allocated to such options by the parties
         thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without
         consideration.

                  (f) Determining Consideration. In case any shares of Common
         Stock options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold or
         deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration
         received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the
         Company therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or
         Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration
         other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
         received by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration
         as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. In case any shares
         of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in
         connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving
         corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to
         be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of
         the non-surviving corporation as shall be attributable to such Common
         Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, as
         determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

                  (g) Treatment of Treasure Stock. The number of shares of
         Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares
         owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the
         disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an
         issue or sale of Common Stock, as applicable, for the purpose of this
         Section 4.2.

                  (h) Distributions. In case the Company shall declare a
         dividend or make any other distribution upon the stock of the Company
         payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, such
         issuance shall be covered by Section 4.4 below.

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

                  (i) Record Date. For purposes of this Section 4.2, in case
         the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for
         the purpose of entitling them (x) to receive a dividend or other
         distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible
         Securities, or (y) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options
         or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be
         the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to
         have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the
         making of such right or subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

         4.3 Liquidating Dividends. In the event the Company shall declare a
dividend upon the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock,
as applicable, covered by Section 4.4) payable otherwise than out of earnings
or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, including the making of appropriate deductions for minority
interests, if any, in subsidiaries (herein referred to as "liquidating
Dividends"), then as soon as possible after the exercise of the Warrant, the
Company shall pay to the person exercising such Warrant an amount equal to the
aggregate value at the time of such exercise of all liquidating Dividends
(including but not limited to the Common Stock which would have been issued at
the time of such earlier exercise and all other securities which would have
been issued with respect to such Common Stock by reason of stock splits, stock
dividends, mergers or reorganizations, or for any other reason). For purposes
of this Section 4.3, a dividend other than in cash shall be considered payable
out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or
earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend.

         4.4 Stock Dividends, Splits. Etc. In case the Company shall at any
time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon the stock of
the Company payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, the
Price Per Share in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or stock
dividend shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares, the Price Per Share in effect immediately prior to
such combination shall be proportionately increased.

         4.5      Exchange Offers. If any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or
merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in
such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities, cash or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common
Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made
whereby the holders of the Warrant shall have the right to acquire and receive
upon exercise of the Warrant such shares of stock, securities, cash or other
property issuable or payable (as part of the reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale) with respect to or in exchange for such number
of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock as would have been received
upon such exchange of Common Stock, at the Price Per Share then in effect. The
Company will

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

not effect any such consolidation merger or sale, unless prior to the
consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company)
resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such
assets shall assume by written instrument mailed or delivered to the holders of
the Common Stock at the last address of each such holder appearing on the books
of the Company, the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of
stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such holder may be entitled to purchase. If a purchase, tender or exchange
offer is made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company shall not
effect any consolidation, merger or sale with the person having made such offer
or with any Affiliate of such person, unless prior to the consummation of such
consolidation, merger or sale the holders of the Warrant shall have been given
a reasonable opportunity then to elect to receive upon the exercise of the
Warrant either the stock, securities or assets then issuable with respect to
the Common Stock of the Company or the stock, securities or assets, or the
equivalent, issued to previous holders of the Common Stock in accordance with
such offer. For purposes hereof the term "Affiliate" with respect to any given
person shall mean any person controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the given person.

         4.6 Company Plans. The provisions of this Article IV shall not apply
to any Common Stock issued, issuable or deemed Outstanding under Subsections
4.2(a) to (i) inclusive, to any person pursuant to any stock option, stock
purchase or similar plan or arrangement for the benefit of officers, directors
and employees of or consultants to the Company or its subsidiaries adopted by
the Board of Directors of the Company.

         4.7      Notices of Distributions and Other Events. In the event that:

                  (a)      the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its
         Common Stock (if any shares are outstanding), or

                  (b) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common
         Stock (if any shares are outstanding) payable in stock or make any
         special dividend or other distribution to the holders of its Common
         Stock (if any shares are outstanding), or

                  (c) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
         holders of its Common Stock (if any shares are outstanding) any
         additional shares of stock of any class or other rights, or

                  (d) there shall be any capital reorganization or
         reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, including any
         subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
         or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or
         substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, or

                  (e)      there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

                                      10
<PAGE>   11

then, in connection with such event, the Company shall give to the holders of
the Warrant:

         (i)      at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date on
                  which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall
                  be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription
                  rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any
                  such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
                  sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and

         (ii)     in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
                  consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
                  winding up, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of
                  the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in
                  accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify,
                  in the case of any such dividend, distribution or
                  subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common
                  Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in
                  accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify
                  the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
                  entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or
                  other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
                  reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
                  liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Each such
                  written notice shall be given by first class mail, postage
                  prepaid, addressed to the holders of the Warrant at the
                  address of each such holder as shown on the books of the
                  Company.

         4.8 Purchase Rights. If at any time or from time to time the Company
shall grant, issue or sell any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to
purchase property (the "Purchase Rights") pro rata to the record holders of any
class of Common Stock of the Company and such grants, issuances or sales do not
result in an adjustment of the Price Per Share under Section 4.2 hereof, then
the holder or holders of the Warrant shall be entitled to acquire (within
thirty days after the later to occur of the initial exercise date of such
Purchase Rights or receipt by such holder of the notice concerning Purchase
Rights to which such holder shall be entitled under Section 4.7) and upon the
terms applicable to such Purchase Rights either:

         (i)      the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have
                  acquired if it had held the number of shares of Common Stock
                  acquirable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately before
                  the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided
                  that if any Purchase Rights were distributed to holders of
                  Common Stock without the payment of additional consideration
                  by such holders, corresponding Purchase Rights shall be
                  distributed to the exercising holders of the Warrant as soon
                  as possible after such exercise and it shall not be necessary
                  for the exercising holder of the Warrant specifically to
                  request delivery of such rights; or

         (ii)     in the event that any such Purchase Rights shall have expired
                  or shall expire prior to the end of said thirty day period,
                  the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of
                  property which such holder could have acquired upon such
                  exercise at the time or times at which the Company granted,
                  issued or sold such expired Purchase Rights.

                                      11
<PAGE>   12

         4.9 Adjustment of Number of Available Shares. Upon each adjustment of
the Price Per Share pursuant to this Article IV, the Number of Available Shares
shall be adjusted so that the holder or holders of the Warrant shall thereafter
be entitled to acquire upon exercise of the Warrant, at the Price Per Share
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock, as applicable, determined by multiplying the Price Per Share in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the Number of Available Shares in
effect and not yet purchased immediately prior to such adjustment, then
dividing that product by the new Price Per Share resulting from such
adjustment.

         4.10 Adjustment by Board of Directors. If any event occurs as to
which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the provisions
of this Article IV are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would
not fairly protect the rights of the holders of the Warrant in accordance with
the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of
Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in
accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such
rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any adjustment have the effect of
increasing the Price Per Share as otherwise determined pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Article IV except in the case of a combination of shares of
a type contemplated in Section 4.4 or the expiration of Options or convertible
Securities as set forth in Subsection 4.2(d) and then in no event to an amount
larger than the Price Per Share as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4 or
Subsection 4.2(d), respectively.

                                   ARTICLE V

                        CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

         The Company covenants and agrees that:

         (a) it will authorize, reserve and set apart and have at all times,
free from preemptive rights, a number of shares of authorized but unissued
Common Stock or other securities or property deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant sufficient to enable it at any time to fulfill all its obligations
hereunder;

         (b) this Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation succeeding to
the Company by merger, consolidation or sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets;

         (c) the Company will from time to time take all such action as may be
requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all
times equal to or less than the per share exercise price provided hereunder;
and

         (d) if any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of
exercise of this Warrant require registration or listing with, or approval of,
any governmental authority, state

                                      12
<PAGE>   13

exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation
or otherwise in order for such shares to be validly issued and delivered upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously
as possible endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the
case may be.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         6.1      Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

         6.2 Waiver and Amendment. Any term or provision of this Warrant may be
waived at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefits thereof and
any term or provision of this Warrant may be amended or supplemented at any
time by agreement of the holder and the Company, except that any waiver of any
term or condition, or any amendment or supplementation, of this Warrant must be
in writing. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or
conditions of this Warrant shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a
party's rights hereunder at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter
with any term or condition of this Warrant.

         6.3 Illegality. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Warrant shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision in any other respect and the remaining
provisions of this Warrant shall not, at the election of the party for whom the
benefit of the provision exists, be in any way impaired.

         6.4 Filing of Warrant. A copy of this Warrant shall be filed in the
records of the Company.

         6.5 Notice. Any notice or other document required or permitted to be
given or delivered to the holder shall be delivered personally, or sent by
certified or registered mail, to such holder at the last address shown on the
books of the Company maintained at the Warrant Office for the registration of,
and the registration of transfer of, the Warrant or at any more recent address
of which the holder shall have notified the Company in writing. Any notice or
other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Company,
other than such notice or documents required to be delivered to the Warrant
Office, shall be delivered at, or sent by certified or registered mail to, the
office of the Company described above or such other address within the United
States of America as shall have been furnished by the Company to the holder in
accordance herewith.

         6.6      Loss, Destruction, Etc. of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of
the Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon
delivery of a bond of indemnity in such form and amount as shall be

                                      13
<PAGE>   14

reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the event of such mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrant, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated Warrant. Any Warrant issued under the provisions of this Section
6.6 in lieu of any Warrant alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen, or in lieu
of any mutilated Warrant, shall constitute an original contractual obligation
on the part of the Company.

         6.7 Limitation of Liability: Not Stockholders. No provision of this
Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof the right to
vote, consent, receive dividends or receive notice, other than as herein
expressly provided, in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of
directors of the Company or any other matter whatsoever as a stockholder of the
Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the
holder hereof to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock issued upon
exercise of the Warrant or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed
in its name by its President and its corporate seal to be impressed hereon and
attested by its Secretary.

                  AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT

                  This Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement (the
"Agreement") is entered into as of November 16, 1997 by SynQuest, Inc., a
Georgia corporation (the "Company") and Warburg, Pincus Investors, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Warburg").

                                   BACKGROUND

         Factory Automation & Computer Technologies, Inc., a New York
corporation ("FACT"), the predecessor in interest to the Company, Warburg and
Craig Skevington entered into a Shareholders' Agreement dated May 11, 1994 (the
"Shareholders' Agreement"). FACT merged into the Company and the Company was the
survivor in the Merger. The Company and Warburg now wish to enter into this
Agreement to make certain provisions with respect to Warburg's right to vote its
shares and other matters, and to amend and restate the Shareholders' Agreement
in its entirety.

         The Company and Warburg agree as follows:

SECTION 1.        SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT

                  1.1      Right to Subscribe for Securities.

                  (a)      If at any time while Warburg's subscription right as
described in this Section 1 (the "Subscription Right") is in effect, the Board
of Directors of the Company authorizes the issuance to a Person or Persons other
than Warburg of shares of Common Stock or warrants, rights, options or shares of
capital stock exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock for
cash except, in each case, for the issuance of shares of Common Stock, or rights
to acquire Common Stock, to employees, consultants, officers or directors
pursuant to stock option, stock purchase, stock bonus or stock incentive plans
or pursuant to written contracts relating to the employment, engagement or
compensation and which issuances have been approved by the holders of the
majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, then prior
to the issuance of the foregoing Securities, the Company will, with respect to
each such issuance and each such time, offer to Warburg the right to purchase
for cash up to that number of shares of Common Stock or warrants, rights,
options or shares of capital stock exercisable for or convertible into shares of
Common Stock necessary for Warburg to maintain its pro rata ownership of the
outstanding capital stock of the Company. For the purposes of the foregoing
sentence, there will be taken into account the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Securities of the Company convertible
into Common Stock, upon exercise of warrants of the Company and upon exercise of
stock options of the Company, whether such Securities are then outstanding or to
be issued at such time.

<PAGE>   2

                  (b)      Any offer of Common Stock (or other Securities) to
Warburg under the Subscription Right will be made by notice in writing at least
15 business days prior to the date on which the Company intends to issue and
sell Securities to any Person other than Warburg. Such notice will set forth (i)
the amount of Securities proposed to be issued and sold to Persons other than
Warburg, (ii) the price at which such Securities are proposed to be sold to such
Persons and the terms of payment, including the price at which such Securities
may be converted into capital stock of the Company, if applicable, and (iii) the
proposed date of issuance and sale of the Securities to Persons other than
Warburg.

                  (c)      Not later than 10 business days after receipt of such
notice, Warburg will notify the Company in writing whether it elects to purchase
all or any of the Securities offered to Warburg pursuant to such notice and if
Warburg will fail to so notify the company, then all rights of Warburg to
purchase Securities under the offer and notice in question will terminate.

                  (d)      If Warburg will elect to purchase any additional
shares or other Securities as aforesaid, the Securities which Warburg has
elected to purchase will be issued and sold to Warburg by the Company at the
price determined in accordance with Section 1.2 and otherwise on the same terms
as such Securities are issued and sold to Persons other than Warburg.

                  1.2      Price of Securities.

                  With respect to each issuance of additional shares or other
Securities by the Company to Warburg, the price of such Securities offered to
Warburg upon exercise of the Subscription Right will be the same purchase price
as that specified in the notice called for by Section 1.1(b)(ii) hereof.

                  1.3      Non-Waiver.

                  The election of Warburg not to exercise the Subscription Right
under this Section 1 in any instance will not affect the right of Warburg (other
than in respect of a reduction in the percentage holdings of Warburg) as to any
subsequent issuance.

SECTION 2.        LIMITATION ON VOTING RIGHTS

                  2.1      Limitation

                  If Warburg owns, in the aggregate, directly and indirectly,
beneficially and of record, a number of shares of all classes of stock of the
Company that would otherwise entitle Warburg to cast a number of votes in excess
of the Maximum Number of Votes, then all shares held by Warburg which represent
a number of votes in excess of the Maximum Number of Votes will be deemed to be
nonvoting shares, and such nonvoting shares will have no right to vote upon the
election of directors or any other matter submitted to shareholder vote. This
paragraph will

                                      -2-

<PAGE>   3

not apply to any shares transferred by Warburg, to the extent such transfer
would not cause the transferee of such shares to become the owner, directly or
indirectly, beneficially or of record, of any shares representing a number of
vote in excess of the Maximum Number of Votes.

                  2.2      Section 2.1 Definitions

                  For the purposes of Section 2.1, the term:

                  (a)      "Maximum Number of Votes," will be equal to the
number of votes represented by all outstanding shares of all classes of the
Corporation's capital stock that are not owned directly or indirectly,
beneficially or of record by Warburg; and

                  (b)      "beneficial ownership" will be determined pursuant to
Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (or any successor rule or statutory provision); provided, however,
that Rule 13d-3(d)(1) will not apply.

SECTION 3.        TERMINATION OF RIGHTS

                  The rights and obligations provided by Section 1 will expire
upon the earlier of (a) the closing of an underwritten public offering covering
