subsidiaries), and, to the knowledge of the Company and its subsidiaries, none

nor the carrying out of the businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries by
the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, nor the conduct of the
businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently proposed, will, to
the knowledge of the Company or its subsidiaries, conflict with or result in a
breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is
now obligated.

              3.7  COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS, NONE BURDENSOME, ETC. The
Company is not in violation of any term of the Articles or Bylaws, nor is the
Company in violation of or in default in any material respect under the terms of

statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, the violation of which

performance of and compliance with this Agreement or the Rights Agreement, and
the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares will not (a) result in any such
violation, or (b) be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such
term, or (c) result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance
or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company pursuant to any
such term. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no such term which
materially adversely affects, or, so far as the Company may now foresee, in the
future may materially adversely affect, the business, condition, affairs or
operations of the Company or any of its properties or assets.

              3.8  PROPRIETARY AGREEMENTS; EMPLOYEES. All technical and

is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of
any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of
any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his or
her best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict
with the Company's business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted or that
would prevent any such employee from assigning inventions to


                                      -5-

<Page>


the Company. The Company does not believe that it is or will be necessary for

investigation pending against the Company or, to the Company's knowledge, its
officers, directors or shareholders, or to the Company's knowledge, against

basis therefor or threat thereof): (1) which might result, either individually
or in the aggregate, in (a) any material adverse change in the business,

assets, or (b) any material adverse impairment of the right or ability of the

order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the

would not have a material adverse effect upon the Company, taken as a whole. The
Company has paid or established reserves for all material income, franchise and
other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, penalties, interest and fines
due and payable by them on or before the Closings. There is no pending dispute
with any taxing authority relating to any of such returns and the Company has no
knowledge of any proposed liability for any tax to be imposed upon the
properties or assets of the Company for which there is not an adequate reserve
reflected in the Financial Statements (as defined below) or, if adversely
determined against the Company, would have a material adverse effect. The
Company has not elected pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation nor has it
made any other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections that relate
solely to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) that would have a
material effect on the Company, its financial condition, its business as
presently conducted or proposed to be conducted or any of its properties or
material assets.

              3.14 TITLE. The Company owns its properties and assets, including
the properties and assets reflected in the Financial Statements (as defined in
Section 3.16), free and clear of all liens, mortgages, loans or encumbrances
except liens for current taxes, and such encumbrances and liens which arise in
the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company's
ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and
assets leased by the Company, the Company is in compliance with such leases and
holds valid leasehold interests free and clear of any liens, claims or
encumbrances.

              3.15 MATERIAL CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS. All of the contracts,
mortgages, indentures, agreements, instruments and transactions to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound (including purchase orders to the
Company or placed by the Company) which involve obligations of, or payments to,
the Company in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and all
agreements between the Company and its officers, directors, consultants and
employees are either (i) attached as exhibits to this Agreement, or (ii) set
forth on the list attached hereto as EXHIBIT G (the "Contracts"), copies of

valid, binding and in full force and effect in all material respects and
enforceable by the Company in accordance with their respective terms in all
material respects, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and rules or laws concerning
equitable remedies. The Company is not in material default under any of such
Contracts. To the Company's knowledge, no other party to any of the Contracts is
in material default thereunder.

covenants to the Company as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Dates as
follows:

                   (a)  INVESTMENT INTENT. This Agreement is made with the
Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser's representations to the Company,
evidenced by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, that the Purchaser is
acquiring the Preferred Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Shares (collectively the "Securities") for investment for the
Purchaser's own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for
resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within
the meaning of the Securities Act and the Law. The Purchaser has the full right,
power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and the Rights
Agreement, and this Agreement and the Rights Agreement constitute valid and
binding obligations upon it.

                   (b)  PREFERRED SHARES NOT REGISTERED. The Purchaser
understands and acknowledges that the offering of the Preferred Shares pursuant

contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from registration under the Securities
Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 25102(f) of the Law, and other applicable state securities or blue sky
laws, and that the Company's reliance upon such exemptions is predicated upon
the Purchaser's representations set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser
acknowledges and understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely
unless the Securities are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
qualified under applicable blue sky laws or an exemption from such registration
and such qualification is available.

                   (c) NO TRANSFER. The Purchaser covenants that in no event
will it dispose of any of the Securities (other than in conjunction with an
effective registration statement


                                      -11-

<Page>


for the Securities under the Securities Act or in compliance with Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act) unless and until (i) the Purchaser shall
have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished
the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, the Purchaser
shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form
and substance to the Company to the effect that (x) such disposition will not
require registration under the Securities Act and (y) appropriate action
necessary for compliance with the Securities Act, the Law and any other
applicable state, local or foreign law has been taken.

                   (d)  KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. The Purchaser is an investor
in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Preferred
Shares. The Purchaser has been furnished with and has had access to such
information as the Purchaser considered necessary to make a determination as to
the purchase of the securities.

                   (e)  NOT ORGANIZED TO PURCHASE. The Purchaser has not been
organized for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.

Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), (ii) become subject to Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act, (iii) supply information pursuant to Rule 15c2-11
thereunder, or (iv) have a registration statement covering the Securities (or a
filing pursuant to the exemption from registration under Regulation A of the
Securities Act covering the Securities) under the Securities Act in effect when
it desires to sell the Securities, such Purchaser may be required to hold the
Securities for an indeterminate period. Such Purchaser also understands that any
sale of the Securities that might be made by the Purchaser in reliance upon Rule
144 under the Securities Act may be made only in limited amounts in accordance
with the terms and conditions of that rule.

              6.5  FUTURE STOCK ISSUANCES. The Company agrees that after the
Closings it will not issue any shares of Common Stock (or grant any options,
warrants or other rights to purchase the same) to any employee, officer, or
director except pursuant to written agreements which provide for vesting over a
period of at least forty-eight (48) months (with the initial vesting date to
occur at least after twelve (12) months) and a right of first refusal in favor
of the Company in the event of any proposed transfer unless such issuance or
grant is approved by the Company's Board of Directors and provided that no such
agreement will require the Company to repurchase or redeem any of such shares.
This Section 6.5 will terminate upon the termination of Section 6.1.

              6.6  RULE 144. The Company covenants that (i) at all times after
the Company first becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company will use its best
efforts to comply with the current public information requirements of Rule
144(c)(1) under the Securities Act; and (ii) at all such times as Rule 144 is
available for use by the Purchasers, the Company will furnish the Purchasers
upon request with all information within the possession of the Company required
for the preparation and filing of Form 144.

              6.7  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Except for transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise approved by the Board of
Directors, the Company shall not enter into any transaction with any director,
officer, employee or holder of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock of
any class or series of capital stock of the Company, member of the immediate
family (as defined in the instructions to Regulation S-K item 404(a) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of any such person, or any corporation,
partnership, trust or other entity in which any such person, or member of the
immediate family of any such person, is a director, officer, trustee, partner or
holder of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock thereof, except for
transactions on customary terms related to such person's employment.

              6.8  INSPECTION RIGHTS. So long as the Purchasers own an aggregate
of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Preferred Shares acquired by the
Purchasers at the Closings upon five (5) days' written notice provided to the
Company, any Purchaser shall have the right to visit and inspect any of the
properties of the Company, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts
with its officers, provided that the Company shall not be required at any time
to disclose any trade secrets or secret or other proprietary data, know-how or
other information, the disclosure of which the Company believes may adversely
affect its business, or any information or data that is classified by the United
States government or any agency or authority thereof. All inspection rights
granted by the Company to the Purchasers shall immediately terminate upon the
closing of the Company's initial registered underwritten public offering.

              6.9  ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO SUBSEQUENT INVESTORS. If Purchasers
participating in Subsequent Closings receive additional benefits or incentives
in consideration of their purchase


                                      -16-

of Preferred Shares which have not been made available to Purchasers in any
prior Closing, then all Purchasers shall be entitled to such benefits or
incentives on the same terms.

         7.   MISCELLANEOUS.

              7.1  WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. With the written consent of the
record holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the
Preferred Shares, the obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders
of the Preferred Shares under this Agreement may be waived or amended (either
generally or in a particular instance); provided, however, that no such waiver
or amendment shall reduce the aforesaid proportion of Preferred Shares, the
holders of which are required to consent to any waiver or supplemental
agreement, without the consent of the record holders of all of the Preferred
Shares. Upon the effectuation of each such waiver or amendment, the Company
shall promptly give written notice thereof to the record holders of the
Preferred Shares who have not previously consented thereto in writing. Except to
the extent provided in this subsection 7.1, this Agreement or any provision
hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated only by a statement in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the amendment, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.

              7.2  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all
respects by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to
agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed
entirely within California.

              7.3  SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made herein shall survive the Closings of the transactions
contemplated hereby, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Purchaser.
All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other
instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be
representations and warranties by the Company hereunder as of the date of such
certificate or instrument.

              7.4  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of
the parties hereto.

              7.5  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other documents
delivered pursuant hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof and
they supersede, merge and render void every other prior written and/or oral
understanding or agreement among or between the parties hereto.

              7.6  NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required
or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally,
mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered by courier or
overnight delivery, addressed (a) if to the Purchaser, at the Purchaser's
address set forth on the signature page hereto, or at such other address as the
Purchaser shall have furnished to the Company in writing or (b) if to the
Company, at its address set forth at the beginning of this Agreement, or at such
other address as the Company shall have furnished to the Purchaser in writing.
Notices that are mailed shall be deemed received five (5) days after deposit in
the United States mail. Notices sent by courier or overnight delivery shall be
deemed received two (days) after they have been so sent.

              7.7  SEVERABILITY. In case any provision of this Agreement shall
be found by a court of law to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

              7.8  TITLES AND SUBTITLES. The titles of the sections and
subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not
to be considered in construing this Agreement.

              7.9  COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one instrument.

              7.10 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. No delay or omission to exercise any
right, power or remedy accruing to the Company or to any holder of any
securities issued or to be issued hereunder shall impair any such right, power
or remedy of the Company or such holder, nor shall it be construed to be a
waiver of any breach or default under this Agreement, or an acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor
shall any delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy or any waiver
of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other right, power or
remedy or breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. All remedies,
either under this Agreement, or by law otherwise afforded to the Company or any
holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
