                               NETEZZA CORPORATION

                            Indemnification Agreement

     This Agreement is made as of the _____ day of _______ 2007, by and between
Netezza Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation), and
_______________ (the "Indemnitee"), a director or executive officer of the
Corporation.

     WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as
directors and executive officers the most capable persons available, and

     WHEREAS, the substantial increase in corporate litigation subjects
directors and executive officers to expensive litigation risks at the same time
that the availability of directors' and officers' liability insurance has been
severely limited, and

     WHEREAS, it is now and has always been the express policy of the
Corporation to indemnify its directors and executive officers, and

     WHEREAS, the Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the
present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as a
director or executive officer without adequate protection, and

     WHEREAS, the Corporation desires the Indemnitee to serve, or continue to
serve, as a director or executive officer of the Corporation.

     NOW THEREFORE, the Corporation and the Indemnitee do hereby agree as
follows:

     1. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee agrees to serve or continue to serve
as a director or executive officer of the Corporation for so long as the
Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until such time as the Indemnitee
tenders a resignation in writing.

     2. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

          (a) The term "Proceeding" shall include any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution proceeding,
administrative hearing or other proceeding, whether brought by or in the right
of the Corporation or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative nature, and any appeal therefrom.

          (b) The term "Corporate Status" shall mean the status of a person who
is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or executive officer of the
Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the

charges, postage, delivery service fees and other disbursements or expenses of
the types customarily incurred in connection with investigations, judicial or
administrative proceedings or appeals, but shall not include the amount of
judgments, fines or penalties against Indemnitee or amounts paid in settlement
in connection with such matters.

          (d) References to "other enterprise" shall include employee benefit
plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise tax assessed with respect
to any employee benefit plan; references to "serving at the request of the
Corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such
director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan,
its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in
a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interests of the
participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to
have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as
referred to in this Agreement.

     3. Indemnity of Indemnitee. Subject to Sections 6, 7 and 9, the Corporation
shall indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding as to which the
Indemnitee is, was or is threatened to be made a party (or is otherwise
involved) by reason of the Indemnitee's Corporate Status, to the fullest extent
permitted by law (as such may be amended from time to time). In furtherance of
the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof:

          (a) Indemnification in Third-Party Proceedings. The Corporation shall
indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a)
if the Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or
otherwise involved in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right
of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or a Proceeding referred
to in Section 6 below) by reason of the Indemnitee's Corporate Status or by
reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in connection
therewith, against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the
best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

          (b) Indemnification in Proceedings by or in the Right of the
Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 3(b) if the Indemnitee was or is a party to or
threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or
in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of
the Indemnitee's Corporate Status or by reason of any action alleged to have
been taken or omitted in connection therewith, against all Expenses and, to the
extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding,
if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation, except that, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification
shall be made under this Section 3(b) in respect of any claim, issue, or matter
as to which the Indemnitee shall

                                        2

<PAGE>

have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the
extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses
as the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

     4. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein (other than a Proceeding referred
to in Section 6), the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection
therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding or any claim, issue
or matter therein is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a
disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to the
Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the
Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv)
an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner
the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an
adjudication that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof
to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

     5. Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. To the extent that the
Indemnitee is, by reason of the Indemnitee's Corporate Status, a witness in any
Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is not a party, the Indemnitee shall be
indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on
behalf of the Indemnitee in connection therewith.

     6. Exceptions to Right of Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 10, the Corporation
shall not indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Corporation shall not indemnify the Indemnitee
to the extent the Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and
in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to the
Indemnitee and the Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of
insurance, the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to
the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.

     7. Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to the
Indemnitee's right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation
in writing as soon as practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnity will or
could be sought. With respect to any Proceeding of which the Corporation is so
notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own
expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. After notice from the
Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the
Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such
Proceeding, other than as provided below in this Section 7. The Indemnitee shall
have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with such

                                        3

<PAGE>

Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from
the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense
of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has
been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any
significant issue between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of
the defense of such Proceeding or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have
employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which
cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the
expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this
Agreement, and provided that Indemnitee's counsel shall cooperate reasonably
with the Corporation's counsel to minimize the cost of defending claims against
the Corporation and the Indemnitee. The Corporation shall not be entitled,
without the consent of the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim
brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the
Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii)
above. The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnitee under
this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected
without its written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in
any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without
the Indemnitee's written consent. Neither the Corporation nor the Indemnitee
will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.

     8. Advancement of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, in the
event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 7 of
any Proceeding of which the Corporation receives notice under this Agreement,
any Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee
in defending such Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of
such Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in advance of the final
disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event
that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Agreement. Such undertaking
shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee
to make repayment. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this
Section 8 shall be unsecured and interest-free.

     9. Procedures.

          (a) In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses
pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a
written request, including in such request such documentation and information as
is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to
determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Any such indemnification or
advancement of Expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days
after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee,
unless the Corporation determines within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee
did not meet the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination, and any
determination that advanced Expenses must be repaid to the Corporation, shall be
made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation
consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the Proceeding
("disinterested directors"), whether or not a quorum, (b) by a committee of
disinterested directors designated by

                                        4

<PAGE>

a majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (c) if
there are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so
direct, by independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written
opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

          (b) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and
in a manner that the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful.

          (c) The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity
making such determination with respect to the Indemnitee's entitlement to
indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon
reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not
privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably
available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating
shall be borne by the Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to the
Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification) and the Corporation hereby
indemnifies the Indemnitee therefrom.

     10. Remedies. The right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses as
provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court
of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in
part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the applicable period referred
to in Section 9. Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that
indemnification or advancement of Expenses is not appropriate shall be on the
Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the
circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct,
nor an actual determination by the Corporation that the Indemnitee has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create
a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of
conduct. The Indemnitee's Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with successfully establishing the Indemnitee's right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall also be
indemnified by the Corporation.

     11. Partial Indemnification. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a
portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in
connection with any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof,
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of
such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement to
which the Indemnitee is entitled.

     12. Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the
Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the
rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and
take all action necessary to secure such

                                        5

<PAGE>

rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the
Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     13. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate
upon the later of (a) six years after the date that the Indemnitee shall have
ceased to serve as a director or executive officer of the Corporation or, at the
request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
limited liability company or other enterprise or (b) the final termination of
all Proceedings pending on the date set forth in clause (a) in respect of which
the Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses
hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee pursuant to Section
10 of this Agreement relating thereto.

     14. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and
advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the
Certification of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any other agreement, any vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, any other law (common or statutory), or otherwise, both as to action
in the Indemnitee's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding office for the Corporation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to prohibit the Corporation from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at
its expense, to protect itself or the Indemnitee against any expense, liability
or loss incurred by it or the Indemnitee in any such capacity, or arising out of
the Indemnitee's status as such, whether or not the Indemnitee would be
indemnified against such expense, liability or loss under this Agreement;
provided that the Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make
any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent
that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any
insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

          (b) No Special Rights. Nothing herein shall confer upon the Indemnitee
any right to continue to serve as a director or executive officer of the
Corporation for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

          (c) Savings Clause. If this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee as to Expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any
Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

          (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute the original.

          (e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the
estate, heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of the
Indemnitee.

                                        6

          (f) Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this
Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

          (g) Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended from time
to time to reflect changes in Delaware law or for other reasons. No supplement,
modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provision hereof nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

          (h) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when
delivered by hand or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage
prepaid, on the third day after the date on which it is so mailed:

          if to the Indemnitee, to:

          ______________________________

          Attn: Chief Executive Officer

or to such other address as may have been furnished to the Indemnitee by the
Corporation or to the Corporation by the Indemnitee, as the case may be.

          (i) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. The
Indemnitee may elect to have the right to indemnification or reimbursement or
advancement of Expenses interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect
at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the
applicable Proceeding, to the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the
applicable law in effect at the time such indemnification or reimbursement or
advancement of Expenses is sought. Such election shall be made, by a notice in
writing to the Corporation, at the time indemnification or reimbursement or
advancement of Expenses is sought; provided, however, that if no such notice is
given, and if the General Corporation Law of Delaware is amended, or other
Delaware law is enacted, to permit further indemnification of the directors and
officers, then the Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent
permitted under the General Corporation Law, as so amended, or by such other
Delaware law, as so enacted.

          (j) Enforcement. The Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it
has entered into this Agreement in order to induce the Indemnitee to continue to
serve as a director or executive officer of the Corporation, and acknowledges
that the Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such
capacity.

          (k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and

avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that the foregoing does not apply to or
limit the Indemnitee's rights under Delaware law or the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws.

          (l) Consent to Suit. In the case of any dispute under or in connection
with this Agreement, the Indemnitee may only bring suit against the Corporation
in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Indemnitee hereby
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of
Delaware, and the Indemnitee hereby waives any claim the Indemnitee may have at
any time as to forum non conveniens with respect to such venue. The Corporation
shall have the right to institute any legal action arising out of or relating to
this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any judgment entered
against either of the parties in any proceeding hereunder may be entered and
enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly

                        TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

     This TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated June 14, 2005
by and among SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California-chartered bank, with its
principal place of business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054
("SVB"), as agent (the "Agent"), and the Lenders listed on Schedule 1.1 and
otherwise party hereto, including without limitation, SVB and Gold Hill Venture
Lending 03, L.P. ("Gold Hill") and NETEZZA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation,
whose address is 200 Crossing Boulevard, Framingham, Massachusetts 01702
("Borrower") provides the terms on which Lenders shall extend credit to Borrower
and Borrower shall repay Lenders. The parties agree as follows:

1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

     Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following
GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term
"financial statements" includes the notes and schedules attached hereto. The
terms "including" and "includes" always mean "including (or includes) without
limitation," in this or any Loan Document. Capitalized terms in this Agreement
shall have the meanings set forth in Article 13. All other terms contained in
this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by
the Code, to the extent such terms are defined therein.

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

     2.1 PROMISE TO PAY.

     Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lenders the unpaid
principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal
amount of the Credit Extensions as and when due in accordance with this
Agreement.

          2.1.1 TERM LOAN FACILITY.

          (a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, to lend to Borrower from
time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, advances (each an
"Advance" and collectively the "Advances") in an aggregate amount not to exceed
the Term Loan, according to each Lender's pro rata share of the Term Loan (based
upon the respective Commitment Percentage of each Lender). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower does not request Advances in accordance with the
timetable set forth in the definition of Term Loan, the undrawn amounts shall
not be available for subsequent draw periods. When repaid, the Advances may not
be re-borrowed. Lenders' obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate on the
earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii)
the Commitment Termination Date. For purposes of this Section, the minimum
amount of each Advance is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).

          (b) Borrowing Procedure. To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify
Agent by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time five (5) Business
Days prior to the date the Advance is to be made. If such notification is by
telephone, Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to
Agent a completed Payment/Advance Form in the form

<PAGE>

attached as EXHIBIT B (the Payment Advance Form). On the Funding Date, each
Lender shall credit and/or transfer (as applicable) to Borrower's deposit
account, an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage multiplied by the amount
of the Advance. Each Lender may make Advances under this Agreement based on
instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without
instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become
due. Each Lender may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom such
Lender reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower shall
indemnify each Lender for any loss Lender suffers due to such reliance.

     2.2 TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT TO LEND.

     Each Lender's obligation to lend the undisbursed portion of the Obligations
may terminate in the discretion of such Lender if a Key Person departs from the
Borrower and a replacement acceptable to Borrower's Board of Directors is not
named within ninety (90) days of such departure.

     2.3 INTEREST RATE, PAYMENTS.

          (a) Interest Payments. Commencing on the first Payment Date of the
month following the month in which the Funding Date occurs (or commencing on the
Funding Date if the Funding Date is the first calendar day of the month),
Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest at the rate set forth in
Section 2.3(c).

          (b) Repayment. Commencing on July 1, 2006, and continuing on the
Payment Date of each month thereafter, for each Advance, Borrower shall make
consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest, in advance,
calculated by Agent based upon: (1) the amount of the Advance, (2) the effective
interest rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.3(c), and (3) an amortization
schedule equal to thirty-six (36) months (individually, the "Scheduled Payment",
and collectively, "Scheduled Payments"). All unpaid principal and accrued
interest is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Payments received
after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business
on the next Business Day. An Advance may only be prepaid in accordance with
Sections 2.3(d) and 2.3(e).

          (c) Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on each Payment Date on
the unpaid principal amount of each Advance until such Advance bas been paid in
full. Interest shall accrue at the per annum rate of interest equal to the Basic
Rate determined by Agent as of the Funding Date for such Advance. Interest is
computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual
number of days elapsed. Any principal outstanding during the continuance of an
Event of Default shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Basic Rate
plus four percent (4%)(the "Default Rate").

          (d) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Advances are
accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise,
Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all
outstanding principal plus accrued interest, plus (ii) all other sums, including
the Prepayment Fee, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including
interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due principal.

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

          (e) Permitted Prepayment of Loans. Borrower shall have the option to
prepay any Advance advanced by Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower
(i) provides written notice to Agent of its election to prepay such Advance at
least one (1) day prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of such
prepayment (A) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest with regard to
such Advance, plus (B) all other sums, including the Prepayment Fee, if any,
that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate
with respect to any past due principal with regard to such Advance.

          (f) Debit of Accounts. Agent may debit any of Borrower's deposit or
operating accounts including Account Number _________ for principal and interest
payments when due or any amounts Borrower owes Lenders, when due. Agent shall
promptly notify Borrower after it debits Borrower's accounts. These debits shall
not constitute a set-off.

     2.4 FEES.

     Borrower shall pay to Agent:

          (a) Commitment Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of
Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) (to be shared between the Lenders pursuant
to their respective Commitment Percentages), due and payable on the Closing
Date;

          (b) Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee, as defined herein, if and when
applicable; and

          (c) Lenders' Expenses. All Lenders' Expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses not exceeding Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars

Agreement) incurred through and after the Closing Date, when due.

     2.5 ADDITIONAL COSTS. If any law or regulation increases any Lender's costs
or reduces its income for any loan, Borrower shall pay the increase in cost or
reduction in income or additional expense; provided, however, that Borrower
shall not be liable for any amount attributable to any period before 180 days
prior to the date Agent notifies Borrower of such increased costs. Each Lender
agrees that it shall allocate any increased costs among its customers similarly
affected in good faith and in a manner consistent with such Lender's customary
practice.

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

     4.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower hereby grants Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of
all of the Obligations and the performance of each of Borrower's duties under
the Loan Documents, a continuing security interest in, and pledges and assigns
to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and to each Lender, the
Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or
arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Subject to Section 5.2, Borrower
warrants and represents that the security interest granted herein shall be a
first priority security interest in the Collateral.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate as of the date hereof; Borrower is
not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license (other than over the
counter software that is commercially available to the public) or other material
agreement with respect to which Borrower is the licensee that prohibits or
otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower's
interest in such license or agreement or any other property. Borrower shall
provide written notice to Agent within ten (10) days of entering or becoming
bound by, any such license or agreement which is reasonably likely to have a
material impact on Borrower's business or financial condition. Borrower shall
take such steps as Agent reasonably requests to obtain the consent of,
authorization by or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary
for all such licenses or contract rights to be deemed "Collateral" and for
Lenders to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or
prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now
existing or entered into in the future.

If Borrower shall, at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount in
excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), Borrower shall promptly
notify Agent in a writing signed by Borrower of the brief details thereof and,
upon request of Agent, grant to Agent in writing a security interest therein and
in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing
to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

     4.2 TERMINATION BY BORROWER.

     Borrower may terminate this agreement by sending written notice to Agent
and paying in full all Obligations. If this Agreement is terminated, Lenders'
and Agent's lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until
Borrower fully satisfies the Obligations.

     4.3 AUTHORIZATION TO FILE FINANCING STATEMENTS.

     Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file UCC financing statements, without
notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, in order to perfect or
protect Agent's and Lenders' interest or rights hereunder, including a notice
that any disposition of the Collateral by either Borrower or any other Person,
shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Lenders under the Code.

                                       -5-

5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender as follows:

     5.1 DUE ORGANIZATION AND AUTHORIZATION.

     Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its
state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good
standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of
property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so would
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business
or operations. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower delivered to Agent
and Lenders a perfection certificate signed by Borrower and entitled "Perfection
Certificate". Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender that, as
of the date hereof: (a) Borrower's exact legal name is that indicated on the
Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; and (b) Borrower is an
organization of the type, and is organized in the jurisdiction, set forth in the
Perfection Certificate; and (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
Borrower's organizational identification number or accurately states that
Borrower has none; and (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth
Borrower's place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office
as well as Borrower's mailing address if different, and (e) all other
information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower is
accurate and complete in all material respects. If Borrower does not now have an
organizational identification number, but later obtains one, Borrower shall
forthwith notify Agent of such organizational identification number.

     The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been
duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower's organizational documents,
nor shall they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by
which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which
or by which it is bound in which the default would reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations.

     5.2 COLLATERAL.

     Borrower has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted
Liens. As of the date hereof, Borrower has no deposit account, other than the
deposit accounts with Lenders and deposit accounts described in the Perfection
Certificate delivered to Agent and Lenders in connection herewith. Except as
disclosed in the Perfection Certificate, except for co-location arrangements and
except for equipment at prospective customer or customer sites, no portion of
the Collateral with a value in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000.00) is in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a
warehouse). Except as hereafter disclosed to the Lenders in writing by Borrower,
none of the components of the Collateral with a value in excess of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) in the aggregate shall be maintained at locations
other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or at co-locations or at
prospective customer or customer sites. In the event that Borrower, after the
date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral
with a value in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) in the
aggregate to a bailee (other than co-locations and equipment at customer and
prospective customer sites), then Borrower will first receive the written
consent of

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

Lenders and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding
such Collateral for the benefit of Agent and Lenders.

     5.3 LITIGATION.

     Except as shown in the Perfection Certificate, there are no actions or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower's Responsible Officers,
threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary which would reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations.

     5.4 NO MATERIAL DETERIORATION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

     All consolidated financial statements for Borrower, and any Subsidiary,
delivered to Agent, fairly present in all material respects Borrower's
consolidated financial condition and Borrower's consolidated results of
operations, subject to year end adjustments and the absence of footnotes. As of
the date hereof, there has not been any material deterioration in Borrower's
consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial
statements submitted to Agent.

     5.5 SOLVENCY.

     The fair salable value of Borrower's assets (including goodwill minus
disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not
left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement;
and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

     5.6 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

     Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Borrower is not
engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock
(under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors).
Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the
violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on Borrower's business or operations. None of Borrower's or any
Subsidiary's properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary
or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing,
producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than
legally. Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns
(or extensions thereof) and paid, or made adequate provision to pay, all
material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate
reserves under GAAP. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained all consents,
approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and
given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue
its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to obtain or make
such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected
to have a material adverse effect on Borrower's business or operations.

     5.7 SUBSIDIARIES.

     As of the date hereof, Borrower does not own any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

     5.8 FULL DISCLOSURE.

     No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any
certificate or instrument delivered to Agent or Lenders in connection with this
Agreement (taken together with all such written certificates and written
instruments given to Agent or any Lender) contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained in the certificates or instruments not misleading, it being recognized
by Agent that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith
and based upon reasonable assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and
forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

Lenders and Agent in Lenders' and Agent's reasonable discretion. All property
policies shall have a lender's loss payable endorsement showing each Lender as
an additional loss payee and all liability policies shall show the Lenders and
Agent as an additional insured and all policies shall provide that the insurer
must give Agent on behalf of Lenders at least twenty (20) days notice before
canceling its policy. At Agent's request, Borrower shall deliver certified

priority security interest and (ii) after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default all proceeds payable under such casualty

and take any reasonable action under the policies Agent deems prudent.

     8.1 PAYMENT DEFAULT.

     Borrower fails to pay any of the Obligations within three (3) days after
their due date. During such three (3) day period the failure to cure the default
shall not constitute an Event of Default (but no Credit Extension shall be made
during such cure period).

     8.2 COVENANT DEFAULT.

          (a) If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under Sections 6.2 or

between Borrower and Lenders and as to any default under such other material
term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed
to cure the default within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof; provided,
however, that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the ten (10)
day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within such
ten (10) day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable
time, then Borrower shall have an additional period (which shall not in any case
exceed thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such
reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be
deemed an Event of Default (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made
during such cure period). Grace periods provided under this section shall not

     During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, without notice or
demand, do any or all of the following :

          (a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an
Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately
due and payable without any action by Agent and/or Lenders);

          (b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower's benefit
under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Agent
and/or Lenders;

          (c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors
for amounts, on terms and in any order that Agent considers advisable, and
notify any Person owing Borrower money of Agent's, and Lenders' security
interest in such funds and verify and/or collect the amounts owed by such
account debtor. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any amounts
received by Borrower shall be held in trust by Borrower for Agent, and, if
requested by Agent, Borrower shall immediately deliver such receipts to Agent in
the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

          (d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or
reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall
assemble the Collateral if Agent requests and make it available as Agent
designates, subject to the rights of third parties. Agent may enter premises

Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to
be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred,
subject to the rights of third parties.

                                      -14-

any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Agent's rights or
remedies;

          (e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower
it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Agent or Lenders owing to or for the credit
or the account of Borrower;

          (f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare
for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral, subject to the rights of
third parties. Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or
other right to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, Patents, Copyrights, Mask
Works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks,
service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to

     9.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY.

     Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact,
to be effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment
or security; (b) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading for any
Account or drafts against account debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and
claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on
terms Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under
Borrower's insurance policies; and (e) transfer the Collateral into the name of

hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower's name on
any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security
interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all
Obligations have been satisfied in full and Agent and Lenders are under no
further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Agent's foregoing
appointment as Borrower's attorney in fact, and all of Agent's rights and
powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have
been fully repaid and performed and Lenders' and Agent's obligation to provide
Credit Extensions terminates.

     9.3 LENDERS' EXPENSES

     Any amounts paid by Lenders as provided herein shall constitute Lenders'
Expenses and are immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the
then applicable rate hereunder and be secured by the Collateral. No payments by
Lenders shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or
Agent's and Lenders' waiver of any Event of Default.

     9.4 AGENT'S AND LENDERS' LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL.

     So long as Agent and Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices
regarding the safekeeping of Collateral and Section 9-207 of the Code, Agent and
Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the
value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman,
bailee, or other person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction
of the Collateral.

     9.5 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

     Agent's rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and
all other agreements are cumulative. Agent has all rights and remedies provided
under the Code, by law, or in equity. Agent's exercise of one right or remedy is
not an election, and Agent's waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing
waiver. Agent's delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver
hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Agent and each Lender and then is
only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

     9.6 DEMAND WAIVER.

     Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment

11   CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

     Massachusetts law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles
of conflicts of law. Borrower and Lenders, and Agent each submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Massachusetts;
provided, however, that if for any reason Lenders cannot avail themselves of
such courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Borrower accepts jurisdiction
of the courts and venue in Santa Clara County, California. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST
BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH AGENT
DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO
OTHERWISE ENFORCE THE LENDERS' OR AGENT'S RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS
PROPERTY.

     BORROWER, AGENT, AND LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF
DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS
COUNSEL.

12   GENERAL PROVISIONS

     12.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

     This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted
assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or
Obligations under it without Agent's prior written consent which may be granted
or withheld in Agent's reasonable discretion. Lenders and Agent have the right,
without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign,
negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in,
Lenders' obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement, the Loan
Documents or any

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

related agreement, including, without limitation, an assignment to any Affiliate
or any related party.

     12.2 INDEMNIFICATION.

     Borrower hereby indemnifies, defends and holds Agent and the Lenders and
their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless against:
(a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities asserted by any other
party or Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents; and (b) all losses, or Lenders' Expenses incurred, or paid by Lenders
and/or Agent from, following, or consequential to transactions between Lenders
and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), except for
losses caused by Lenders' or Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     12.3 ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES.

     In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Agent arising out of the

     Borrower hereby grants to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, and to
each Lender, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all
Obligations to Agent and each Lender, hereunder, whether now existing or
hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and
property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of
Agent or any entity under the control of Agent (including an Agent subsidiary)
or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent or Lenders,
as appropriate, may set-off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to
any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of
the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL
RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY
OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF
SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

     12.5 TIME OF ESSENCE.

     Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this
Agreement.

     12.6 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISION.

determining the enforceability of any provision.

and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

     12.8 COUNTERPARTS.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by

delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

     All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement
continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its
terms, and all Obligations have been satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in
Section 12.2 to indemnify each Lender and Agent shall survive until the statute
of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

     12.10 CONFIDENTIALITY.

     In handling any confidential information, Lenders and Agent shall exercise
the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information,
but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Lenders' and Agent's
subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their business with Borrower
(provided, however, Lenders and Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts
in obtaining such subsidiary's or affiliate's agreement to the terms of this
provision); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the
Credit Extensions (provided, however, Lenders and Agent shall use commercially
reasonable efforts in obtaining such prospective transferee's or purchaser's
agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation,
subpoena, or other order; (d) as required in connection with Lenders' and
