        2. Request for Registration.

                (a) If the Company shall receive, at any time after the earlier
        of (i) five years after the date hereof or (ii) nine months after the
        closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering (other than a
        registration relating solely to any Company employee benefit plan), a
        written request from the Holders (the "Initiating Holders") of at least
        50% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file
        a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the
        registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities then held by
        such Initiating Holders (and covering at least 50% of the Registrable
        Securities then outstanding) (a "Qualifying Request"), then the Company
        shall, subject to Section 2(b) below:

                        (i) Promptly give written notice of the proposed
                registration to all other Holders; and

                        (ii) As soon as practicable, use its reasonable diligent
                efforts to effect such registration (including, without
                limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate
                qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state
                securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities
                Act) as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of
                the portion of the Registrable Securities as are specified in
                the Qualifying Request, together with the portion of the
                Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such
                Qualifying Request as are specified in a written request made by
                such Holder(s) and received by the Company within 20 days after
                the written notice from the Company described in clause (i)
                above is received by such Holder(s).

                                       2

<PAGE>

                  (b) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take
        any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (i)
        after the Company has initiated two such registrations pursuant to this
        Section 2 (counting for these purposes only registrations which have
        been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have
        been sold), (ii) during any period starting 60 days prior to the
        proposed filing date of a registration statement of the Company and
        ending 180 days after the effective date of such registration statement
        or (iii) if the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a
        registration pursuant to this Section 2 may be registered on Form S-3
        pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

                  (c) Subject to Section 2(b) above, the Company shall file a
        registration statement covering the Registrable Securities requested to
        be registered pursuant to Section 2(a) as soon as practicable after
        receipt of the Qualifying Request; provided, however, that if (i) in the
        good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such
        registration would be detrimental to the Company, and the Board of
        Directors of the Company concludes, as a result, that it is essential to
        defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (ii)
        the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed
        by a senior officer of the Company to such effect, then the Company
        shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than
        120 days after receipt of the Qualifying Request; and, further provided
        that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than
        once in any twelve-month period.

                  (d) The registration statement filed pursuant to a Qualifying
        Request may, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) hereof, include
        other securities of the Company with respect to which registration
        rights have been granted, and may include securities of the Company
        being sold for the account of the Company. Any securities to be
        registered pursuant to a Qualifying Request shall be allocated in the
        same manner as set forth in Section 9 hereof.

                  (e) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
        Registrable Securities covered by their Qualifying Request by means of
        an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their
        Qualifying Request made pursuant to Section 2(a), and the Company shall
        include such information in its written notice referred to in Section
        2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant
        to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation
        in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable
        Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If the
        Company requests inclusion in any registration pursuant to this Section
        2 of securities being sold for its own account, or if other Persons
        shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to this Section 2,
        the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include
        such securities in the underwriting and may condition such offer on the
        Company's and such Persons' acceptance of the applicable provisions of
        this Agreement. The Company shall (together with all Holders and other
        Persons proposing to distribute their securities through such
        underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
        with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for
        such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders,
        which underwriters must be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the
        representative of the underwriters advises the Initiating Holders in
        writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of
        shares to be underwritten, then the number of shares sought to be
        included by the Company and any Persons other than the Holders
        requesting inclusion in such registration shall be reduced to the extent
        required by the representative of the underwriters and the number of
        shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting
        shall not be reduced unless all such other securities are first entirely
        excluded; thereafter, the number of shares to be included in the
        underwriting or registration shall be allocated as set forth in Section
        9 hereof. If a Person who has requested inclusion in such registration
        as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting,
        such Person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the
        Company, the representative of the underwriters or the Initiating
        Holders, and the securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from
        such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and
        if the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such
        registration was previously

                                       3

<PAGE>

        reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2(e),
        then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have retained rights to
        include Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include
        additional Registrable Securities (that were initially requested to be
        included in such registration) in such registration in an aggregate
        amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to
        be allocated among such Holders in accordance with Section 9.

        3. Company Registration.

                  (a) Subject to Section 3(e) below, if at any time or times
        after the date hereof the Company determines to register any of its
        equity securities either for its own account or the account of a
        security holder or holders exercising its or their demand registration
        rights, the Company will:

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

                        (ii) Use its reasonable diligent efforts to include in
                such registration (and any related qualifications under
                applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and other
                compliance with the Securities Act), except as set forth in
                Section 3(c) below, and in any underwriting involved therein,
                all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
                made by any Holder and received by the Company within 20 days
                after the written notice from the Company described in clause
                (i) above is received by such Holder. Such written request may
                specify all or a part of a Holder's Registrable Securities.

                  (b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice is
        for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company
        shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
        pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) above. In such event, the right of any
        Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned
        upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion
        of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the
        extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their
        securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company
        and the other holders of securities of the Company that have exercised
        their registration rights to participate therein and are distributing
        their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting
        agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter
        or underwriters selected by the Company.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if
        the representative of the underwriters advises the Company in writing
        that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to
        be underwritten, the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable
        Securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of
        securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and
        underwriting shall be allocated (i) first to the Company for securities
        being sold for its own account and to security holders that have
        exercised their demand registration rights with respect to such
        registration, (ii) then to all other holders of equity securities of the
        Company included in such registration on a pro rata basis. If any Person
        does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such Person shall
        be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the
        representative of the underwriters, and the securities so excluded shall
        also be withdrawn from such registration.

                  (d) If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if
        the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration
        was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors, the Company
        shall then offer to all Holders who have retained the right to include
        Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include
        additional Registrable Securities (that were initially requested to be
        included in such registration) in such registration in an aggregate
        amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to
        be allocated in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3(c).

                                       4

<PAGE>

                  (e) This Section 3 shall not apply to a registration on any
        registration form that does not include substantially the same
        information as would be required to be included in a registration
        statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities or to
        registrations relating solely to (i) any Company employee benefit plan
        or (ii) transactions pursuant to Rule 145 or any other similar rule
        promulgated under the Securities Act.

        4. Registration on Form S-3.

                  (a) After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3,
        in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this
        Agreement, the Holders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities
        then outstanding shall have the right to request registrations on Form
        S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of
        Registrable Securities to be sold by such Holders). As soon as
        practicable after receiving any such request, the Company shall effect
        such registration (including, without limitation, filing post-effective
        amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or
        other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the
        Securities Act) as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution
        of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
        registration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
        to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration if (i)
        the Registrable Securities to be sold by the requesting Holders
        constitute less than 50% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding;
        (ii) Form S-3 is not then available for use in such offering; (iii) the
        Company shall furnish to the requesting Holders the certification
        described in Section 2(c) (but subject to the limitations set forth
        therein); (iv) the Company shall have already completed two
        registrations on Form S-3 during the prior 12 months (counting for this
        purpose only registrations which have been declared or ordered
        effective); (v) the sale of Registrable Securities in such offering
        would occur in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required
        to qualify to do business (and in which it would not otherwise be
        required to qualify but for the sale of such Registrable Securities) or
        to file a general consent to service of process; or (vi) the sale of
        Registrable Securities in such offering would occur during any period
        starting on the effective date of any registration statement of the
        Company (other than such Form S-3) and ending 180 days after the
        effective date of such registration statement.

                  (b) Regardless of whether any Holder has completed the sale of
        its Registrable Securities covered by a Form S-3, if, at any time after
        the effective date of such Form S-3, the Company notifies such Holder
        that such Form S-3 includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
        omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
        necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of
        the circumstances then existing, then the Company may require such
        Holder to cease such Holder's sales of Registrable Securities covered by
        such Form S-3 until such time as the Company files an amendment to such
        Form S-3 correcting such untrue statement or including such material
        fact, which amendment shall be filed by the Company no later than 90
        days after the date of the Company's notice given to such Holder under
        this Section 4(b).

        5. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Agreement to
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as
soon as practicable:

                (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
        respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable efforts to
        cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the
        request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
        registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up
        to 90 days or until the Holders have completed the distribution referred
        to in such registration statement, whichever occurs first; provided,
        however, that before filing such registration statement or any amendment
        thereto, the Company will furnish to the Holders of Registrable
        Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all such
        documents proposed to be filed.

                                       5

<PAGE>

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

                (c) Furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by
        such registration statement such number of copies of such registration
        statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case
        including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus
        contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary
        prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any prospectus filed under
        Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements
        of the Securities Act, and such other documents as Holders of
        Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement may
        reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
        Securities owned by them.

                (d) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into
        and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
        and customary form, with the representative of the underwriters of such
        offering.

                (e) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
        registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
        is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
        of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
        registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
        of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
        stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
        misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

                (f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
        registration statement: (i) when the registration statement has become
        effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to the registration
        statement becomes effective; and (iii) of any request by the SEC for any
        amendment or supplement to the registration statement or prospectus or
        for additional information.

                (g) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
        registration statement if at any time the SEC should institute or
        threaten to institute any proceedings for the purpose of issuing, or
        should issue, a stop order suspending the effectiveness of such
        registration statement. Upon the occurrence of any of the events
        mentioned in the preceding sentence, the Company will use its reasonable
        efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or to obtain the
        withdrawal thereof as soon as reasonably possible. The Company will
        advise each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
        registration statement promptly of any order or communication of any
        public board or body addressed to the Company suspending or threatening
        to suspend the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in
        any jurisdiction.

                (h) As soon as practicable after the effective date of such
        registration statement, and in any event within 16 months thereafter,
        have "made generally available to its security holders" (within the
        meaning of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) an earnings statement
        (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least 12 months
        beginning after the effective date of such registration statement and
        otherwise complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

        6. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to the Registrable Securities of any Holder that such Holder shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable
Securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder's
Registrable Securities.

                                       6

        7. Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses other than underwriting
discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Section 2 or 4, including without limitation all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees and
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (including fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company in its capacity as counsel to the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder; if Company counsel does not
make itself available for this purpose, the Company will pay the reasonable fees
and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders of Registrable
Securities on behalf of all selling shareholders at the time, such fees and
disbursements not to exceed $15,000) shall be borne by the Company; provided,
however, that with respect to registrations pursuant to Section 4, the Company
shall only be required to bear such expenses in connection with the first three
requests for registrations on Form S-3 (counting for this purpose any request
for registration which is withdrawn by the Holders, regardless of the reason for
such withdrawal, but not counting for this purpose any registration which is
withdrawn by the Company, regardless of the reason for such withdrawal).

        8. Expenses of Company Registration. All expenses other than
underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 3, including
without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company
(including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in its capacity as
counsel to the selling Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder; if Company
counsel does not make itself available for this purpose, the Company will pay
the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities on behalf of all selling shareholders at the time, such
fees and disbursements not to exceed $15,000) shall be borne by the Company.

        9. Allocation of Registration Opportunities. In any circumstance in
which all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a
registration on behalf of the Holders cannot be so included as a result of
limitations imposed by any underwriter or underwriters of the aggregate number
of Registrable Securities that may be so included, the number of Registrable
Securities that may be so included shall be allocated among the Holders
requesting inclusion pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable
Securities that would be held by such Holders, assuming conversion; provided,
however, that if any Holder does not request inclusion of the minimum number of
shares of Registrable Securities allocated to such Holder pursuant to the
above-described procedure, the remaining portion of such Holder's allocation
shall be reallocated among those requesting Holders whose allocations did not
satisfy their requests, pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable
Securities that would be held by such Holders, assuming conversion, and this
procedure shall be repeated until all of the Registrable Securities which may be
included in the registration on behalf of the requesting Holders have been so
allocated.

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

                (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and
        each Holder's officers, directors and employees, any underwriter (as
        defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any,
        who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
        Act) such Holder or underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or
        liabilities, whether or not involving a third party, to which they may
        become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
        federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
        liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
        upon a Violation by the Company (provided, however, that the Company
        will not be required to indemnify any of the foregoing Persons on
        account of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or
        based upon a Violation by the Company if and to the extent that such
        Violation was made in a preliminary prospectus and was corrected in a
        subsequent prospectus that was required by law to be delivered to the
        Person making the claim with respect to which indemnification is sought
        hereunder (and

                                       7
<PAGE>

        such subsequent prospectus was made available by the Company to permit
        delivery of such prospectus in a timely manner) and such subsequent
        prospectus was not so delivered to such Person); and the Company will
        pay to each indemnified party under this Section 10(a), as incurred, any
        legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
        connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
        liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
        contained in this Section 10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in
        settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
        settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
        shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in
        any such case to a particular indemnified party for any such loss,
        claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of
        or is based upon a Violation by the Company which occurs in reliance
        upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on
        behalf of such indemnified party expressly for use in connection with
        any registration.

                (b) Each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the
        Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the
        registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls (within the
        meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the Company, any
        underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling
        securities covered by such registration statement and each Person, if
        any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
        Exchange Act) such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses,
        claims, damages or liabilities, whether or not involving a third party,
        to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the
        Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar
        as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
        thereto) arise out of or are based upon a Violation by the selling
        Holder, in each case to the extent that such Violation by the selling
        Holder occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
        information furnished by or on behalf of the indemnifying Holder
        expressly for use in connection with any registration; and each
        indemnifying Holder will pay to each indemnified party under this
        Section 10(b), as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably
        incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
        defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
        however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(b)
        shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
        damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
        consent of the indemnifying Holder (which consent shall not be
        unreasonably withheld); and further provided that in no event shall the
        liability of any Holder under this Section 10(b) exceed the net proceeds
        from the offering received by such Holder.

                (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
        Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
        governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
        thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section
        10, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
        commencement of such action, and the indemnifying party shall have the
        right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
        desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to
        assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory
        to the indemnified party. The failure to deliver written notice to the
        indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the commencement of
        any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any
        liability to the indemnified party under this Section 10 except if, and
        only to the extent that, the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced
        thereby; and such failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
        party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
        indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10.

                (d) The obligations of the Company to any particular Holder and
        of such Holder to the Company shall survive for a period of two (2)
        years from the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities of
        such Holder pursuant to the last registration statement under this
        Agreement in which such Holder's Registrable Securities were included.

                                       8

<PAGE>

                (e) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable,
        then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
        payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
        damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
        reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified
        party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
        relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
        whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
        omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
        information supplied by or on behalf of the indemnifying party or the
        indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
        information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement
        or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
        the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
        contribution from any Person that was not guilty of fraudulent
        misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
        Section 10, no Holder shall be required, pursuant to this Section 10, to
        contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such
        Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which
        the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of the indemnified
        party relate.

        11. Termination. This Agreement will terminate as between the Company
and any particular Holder upon the earlier of (i) three (3) years after the
closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering and (ii) such time when Rule
144(k) or another similar exception under the Securities Act is available for
the sale of all of such Holder's Registrable Securities; provided, however, that
the obligations of the Company and such Holder contained in Section 10 hereof
shall survive any such termination for a period of two (2) years from the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities of such Holder pursuant to
the last registration statement under this Agreement in which such Holder's
Registrable Securities were included.

        12. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company
to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned in
whole or in part by a Holder to one or more transferees or assignees of not less
than 50,000 shares of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder (as adjusted
for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations or similar events);
provided that, in each case, as a condition to such transfer or assignment, the
Holder shall give prior written notice to the Company of such transfer or
assignment (which notice shall set forth the identity of the transferee or
assignee) and such transferee or assignee shall deliver to the Company a written
instrument by which such transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by the
obligations imposed on the transferring Holder under this Agreement, to the same
extent as if such transferee or assignee was a party hereto.

        13. "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, during
the period not to exceed 270 days following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act in connection with the
Company's Qualified Initial Public Offering, it shall not, to the extent
requested by the Company and the representative of the underwriters of such
Qualified Initial Public Offering, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of
(other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Stock, except for shares
of Class A Common Stock included in such registration (if any), provided that
all officers and directors of the Company are similarly restricted.

        14. Changes in Registrable Securities. If, and as often as, there are
any changes in the Registrable Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation,
reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be
required, so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with
respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company will require any successor by merger or
consolidation to assume and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as
a condition to any such merger or consolidation.

                                       9

        15. Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause
to be done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as
any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

        16. Amendment; Waiver. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of
this Agreement may be amended, and compliance therewith may be waived (either
generally or in a particular circumstance and either retroactively or
prospectively), (i) as to the Company, by a written instrument signed by the
Company, and (ii) as to the Holders, by one or more written instruments signed
by the Holders that hold 51% or more of the Common Share Equivalents then held
by all Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
paragraph shall be binding upon the Holders and the Company. As used herein,
"Common Share Equivalents" means shares of Class A Common Stock at the time
outstanding as a result of conversion of Series C Stock and shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series C Stock at the time
outstanding.

        17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives,
successors and permitted assigns (as provided in Section 12 hereof). Nothing in
this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other
than the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors
and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or
by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

        18. Applicable Law. The laws of the state of New York shall govern the
interpretation, validity and performance of the terms of this Agreement.

        19. Judicial Proceedings. Any judicial proceeding involving any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the rights
or interests of any of the parties hereto or the breach or alleged breach of
this Agreement, whether arising during, at or after the termination of this
Agreement (each of the foregoing disputes, controversies and claims hereinafter
referred to as an "Agreement Dispute"), shall be brought only in a federal or
state court located in the county, city and state of New York, and each of the
parties hereto (i) unconditionally accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts and any related appellate court and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any
judgment rendered thereby and (ii) irrevocably waives any objection such party
may now have or hereafter has as to the venue of any such proceeding brought in
such a court or that such court is an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties
hereto hereby waives trial by jury in any judicial proceeding to which they are
parties involving an Agreement Dispute.

                           INFORMATION RESOURCES, INC.
                      SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

         This Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (herein, the "Amendment") is
entered into as of February 9, 2000, between Information Resources, Inc., the
Banks party thereto, and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Agent for the Banks.

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

          A. The Borrower and the Banks entered into a certain Credit Agreement,
dated as of October 31, 1997 (the Credit Agreement, as amended prior to the date
hereof, being referred to herein as the "Credit Agreement"). All capitalized
terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such
terms have in the Credit Agreement.

          B. The Borrower and the Required Banks have agreed to (i) amend the
Cash Flow Coverage Ratio, (ii) amend the Eurodollar Margin, (iii) amend the
Commitment Fee, and (iv) make certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement,
under the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

SECTION 1.           WAIVER.

         The Borrower has informed the Agent and the Banks that as of December
31, 1999, the Borrower was not in compliance with Section 7.8 of the Credit
Agreement (Cash Flow Coverage Ratio). The Borrower has requested that the Banks
waive compliance with Section 7.8 of the Credit Agreement and, by signing below,
the Required Banks hereby agree to waive compliance with Section 7.8 of the
Credit Agreement through the period ending on (but not after) December 31, 1999.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the waiver in this Section 1
shall not become effective unless and until the conditions precedent set forth
in Section 3 hereof have been satisfied.

SECTION 2.           AMENDMENTS.

          2.1. The definition of "Eurodollar Margin" appearing in Section 1.3(b)
of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated to read as follows:

                  "Eurodollar Margin" means, from one Pricing Date to the next,
                  a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following
                  schedule:
