                               AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO

                             EROOM TECHNOLOGY, INC.

              FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT


         This Amendment No. 1 to Fourth Amended and Restated Investor Rights
Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2000, is entered into by and among eRoom
Technology, Inc. (the "COMPANY") and the Founders, Preferred Holders and New
Preferred Holders set forth on the signature pages hereto.

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS, the Company, the Founders and the Preferred Holders are
parties to an existing Fourth Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement
dated as of April 20, 2000 (the "EXISTING AGREEMENT");

         WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue and sell an aggregate of
1,052,633 additional shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01
par value per share, of the Company (the "ADDITIONAL SHARES") to certain
Preferred Holders and the New Preferred Holders on the date hereof pursuant to
the terms of a certain Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT");

         WHEREAS, it is a condition to their purchase of Additional Shares that
BVCF IV, L.P., Haebler Ventures Limited Partnership and DRW Venture Partners LP
(collectively, the "NEW PREFERRED HOLDERS") be admitted as parties to the
Existing Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, the undersigned Company, Founders and existing Preferred
Holders, constituting the requisite percentage, desire to amend the Existing
Agreement in accordance with Article X, Section 8 thereof as set forth below.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises,
representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this
Amendment, the parties mutually agree as follows:

ADDING ADDITIONAL SERIES D AND NEW PREFERRED HOLDERS

1.       That upon the issuance and sale of the Additional Shares to the New
         Preferred Holders and certain of the existing Preferred Holders on the
         date hereof pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (i) the terms "Series D
         Preferred" and "Preferred Stock" set forth in the Existing Agreement
         shall include the Additional Shares issued to such investors; and (ii)
         the terms "Series D Holders" and "Preferred Holders" set forth in the
         Existing Agreement shall include such investors (including, without
         limitation, the New Preferred Holders). In addition, each of the
         parties hereto agrees that the definition of "Stock Purchase
         Agreements" set forth in the Existing Agreement shall include the
         Purchase Agreement.

<PAGE>   2


2.       Each of the parties hereto agrees that the New Preferred Holders shall
         be entitled to the same rights and be subject to the same obligations
         as the "Preferred Holders," as such term is used in the Existing
         Agreement, as if such New Preferred Holders were originally included in
         the definition of "Preferred Holders" under the Existing Agreement. By
         executing its counterpart signature page to this Amendment, each New
         Preferred Holder hereby agrees to become a party to and be bound by the
         Existing Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, and the other parties
         hereto hereby accept such admission and accession, effective as of the
         date first above written.

3.       That to reflect the new investors in the Company's Series D Preferred,
         SCHEDULE V to the Existing Agreement shall be amended by deleting it in
         its entirety and replacing it with the SCHEDULE V set forth on EXHIBIT
         A to this Amendment.

STANDSTILL PROVISION APPLICABLE TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY ONLY

4.       Article IX (Standstill) shall be amended so that notwithstanding any
         other provision in the Existing Agreement such Article shall from the
         date hereof be applicable solely to Ford Motor Company and not to
         Series D Holders. Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby amend Article
         IX to replace the terms "Series D Holder", "Series D Holders", "such
         Series D Holder", "a particular Series D Holder", "any of the Series D
         Holders" (and all like phrases) with "Ford Motor Company." In addition,
         subsection (iv) of Article X, Section 8 is hereby amended by deleting
         the phrase "the holders of at least a majority of the Series D
         Preferred" and replacing it with "Ford Motor Company." All tenses in
         the foregoing amended sections shall be amended appropriately to
         reflect the fact Ford Motor Company is a single entity.

NEW DIRECTORS

5.       The reference to "Stewart Alsop" set forth in subsection (ii) of
         Article II, Section 1(a) shall be replaced with "David A. Litwack."
         In addition, the parenthetical "(initially, Thomas F. Bogan)" shall be
         inserted immediately before the first proviso in subsection (iii) of
         Article II. Section 1(a).

USE OF TERM "FOUNDERS"

6.       The first use of the phrase "of the Founders" set forth in the
         proviso to subsection (iv) of Article II, Section 1(a) shall
         be replaced with the phrase "Jeffrey R. Beir nor R. Pito Salas."

7.       That to reflect new persons and entities constituting "Founders" due to
         gifts from other Founders, SCHEDULE VI to the Existing Agreement shall
         be amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the
         SCHEDULE VI set forth on EXHIBIT B to this Amendment.

AGGREGATION OF OWNERSHIP OF AFFILIATES

<PAGE>   3


8.       The new Section 12 shall be inserted at the end of Article X as
         follows:

                  12. AGGREGATION. Notwithstanding any other provision in this
         Agreement, all Shares held or acquired by parties hereto that are
         affiliated shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining
         the availability of any rights under this Agreement. For the purposes
         of the preceding sentence, an "affiliate" of a person or entity is
         another person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or
         more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common
         control with, such person or entity. The preceding sentence shall be
         construed as the term "affiliate" is construed under Rule 144
         promulgated under the Securities Act.

WAIVER OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

9.       By executing this Amendment, each party hereto is permanently and
         irrevocably waiving any and all rights of first refusal, including
         without limitation any notice requirements related thereto, pursuant to
         Article IV of the Existing Agreement with respect to the issuance and
         sale of the Additional Shares and the issuance of any shares into which
         such Additional Shares may be converted.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.      Except as set forth in this Amendment, all terms and provisions of the
         Existing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance
         with the terms thereof. Except where otherwise expressly set forth
         herein, this Amendment and its terms and provisions shall be effective
         as of the date first above written. All capitalized terms used but not
         defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in
         the Existing Agreement. Captions and headings in this Amendment are
         provided for convenience purposes only, are not to be considered a part
         of this Amendment and are not intended, and should not be used, to
         construe the meaning of any of the terms or provisions of this
         Amendment. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
         counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
         same instrument. For the purposes of executing this Amendment, (a) a
         document signed and transmitted by facsimile machine or telecopier
         shall be treated as an original document; (b) the signature of any
         party on such document shall be considered as an original signature;
         (c) the document transmitted (or the document of which the page
         containing the signature or signatures of one of more parties is
         transmitted) shall have the same effect as a counterpart thereof
         containing original signatures. This Amendment shall be governed by,
         and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the
         Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to the conflicts of
         law provisions thereof).
