Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries (as defined below) is a corporation or other similar organization duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Company and the Subsidiaries have all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate their properties and assets and to carry on their businesses as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the letter agreement with J.P. Morgan International Capital Corp. (the "JPMICC Letter") and the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), to issue and sell the Shares and the Conversion Shares, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the JPMICC Letter, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Restated Certificate. The Company and the Subsidiaries are duly qualified and are authorized to do business and are in good standing as foreign corporations in all jurisdictions in which the nature of their activities and of their properties (both owned and leased) 2. 7 makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so could not have a material adverse effect on the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective businesses. 3.2 SUBSIDIARIES. Schedule A sets forth a complete and accurate organizational chart as of the date hereof, indicating the name of each entity in which the company holds a direct or indirect equity interest (each, a "Subsidiary") and the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any equity security or other interest of any other corporation, limited partnership or other business entity other than the Subsidiaries. The only Subsidiaries of the Company with any active operations are Asia On-Line Limited and Asia Online (Phils) Inc. (the "Operating Subsidiaries"). Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement. 3.3 CAPITALIZATION; VOTING RIGHTS. The authorized capital stock of the Company, immediately prior to the Closing, will consist of fifty million (50,000,000) shares of Voting Common Stock (par value $.001 per share), two million six hundred eight thousand three hundred ninety (2,608,390) shares of which are issued and outstanding and one million nine hundred fifty four thousand one hundred twenty (1,954,120) shares of which remain reserved for future issuance to employees, officers, directors and consultants pursuant to the Company's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (after issuance of the 100,000 shares of Voting Common Stock thereunder as described below), twenty five million (25,000,000) shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding, and thirty two million six hundred thousand (32,600,000) shares of Preferred Stock (par value $.001 per share), eight million six hundred thousand (8,600,000) of which are designated Series A Preferred Stock, seven million nine hundred forty two thousand nine hundred seventy (7,942,970) of which are issued and outstanding, twelve million (12,000,000) of which are designated Series B-1 Voting Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding, and twelve million (12,000,000) of which are designated Series B-2 Non-Voting Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding.

The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Shares are as stated in the Restated Certificate. Each series of Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The Conversion Shares have been duly and validly reserved for issuance. Other than the 2,054,120 shares initially reserved for issuance under the Company's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (of which options for 240,000 shares of Voting Common Stock have been granted, and of such options granted, 100,000 shares of Voting Common Stock of which have previously been issued upon exercise thereof), the option to purchase up to eighty seven thousand seven hundred nineteen (87,719) shares of Series A Preferred Stock granted to Kevin Randolph pursuant to that certain Key Employee Agreement by and between the Company and Kevin Randolph dated as of February 10, 1999, as amended, and the warrants to purchase in the aggregate 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 30, 1999, by and among the Company and the Purchasers listed therein (which will expire at the First Closing), and except as may be granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal), proxy or shareholder agreements, or agreements of any kind for the purchase or acquisition from the Company or any Subsidiary of any of its securities. Following the acquisition of the Shares as provided herein, and assuming conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, the Shares 3. 8 delivered to each of J.P. Morgan International Capital Corporation ("JPMICC"), Sixty Wall Street Fund, L.P. ("60WSF"), GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc., and Pequot Private Equity Fund II, L.P. will represent 11.68%, 2.92%, 10.22% and 10.95%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding equity capital of the Company and the Series B-1 Preferred Stock delivered to JPMICC and 60WSF will represent 3.33% and 0.83%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company. With the exception of the Company's right to repurchase shares of the Company's Common Stock issued to employees of the Company, or as will be set forth in the Restated Certificate, there are no outstanding contractual or other rights or obligations to or of the Company or any other Person to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Restated Certificate, the Shares and the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the Shares and the Conversion Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed. The capitalization of each of the Subsidiaries is as set forth on Schedule B. 3.4 AUTHORIZATION; BINDING OBLIGATIONS.

The Company and the Subsidiaries own or possess sufficient legal rights to all trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, copyrights, and similar rights (including registrations and applications to register or renew the registration of any of the foregoing), and letters patent and patent applications, and inventions, processes, designs, formulae, trade secrets, know-how, confidential information, computer software, data and documentation, and all similar intellectual property rights, tangible embodiments of any of the foregoing (in any medium including electronic media), and licenses of any of the foregoing (collectively, "Intellectual Property") necessary for their business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, without (except with respect to letters patent and patent applications) any infringement of the rights of others and, with respect to letters patent and patent applications, without any known infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor are the Company or the Subsidiaries bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity other than such licenses or agreements arising from the purchase of "off the shelf" or standard products.

Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any communications alleging that the Company or the Subsidiaries have violated or, by conducting their businesses as presently proposed, would violate any of the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity. The Company is not aware that any of its employees or employees of the Subsidiaries 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 their duties to the Company or the Subsidiaries, respectively, or that would conflict with the Company's or the Subsidiaries' business as presently proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement or the JPMICC Letter, nor the carrying on of the Company's or the Subsidiaries business by the respective employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries, nor the conduct of the Company's and the Subsidiaries' business as presently proposed, will, to the Company's knowledge, 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 employee is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary for the Company or the Operating Subsidiaries to utilize any Intellectual Property of their respective employees made prior to their employment by the Company or the Operating Subsidiaries, except for the Intellectual Property that has been assigned to the Company or the Subsidiaries. 3.12 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any term of its organizational documents, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument or contract to which it is a party or by 8. 13 which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ (each an "Order"). None of the Company or any Subsidiary has received any notice of, or has knowledge of any claim alleging, any violation or default of any such term, provision or Order. The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the JPMICC Letter, and the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant hereto and of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Restated Certificate, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term, provision or Order, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary, or their respective businesses or operations or any of their respective assets or properties. 3.13 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or currently threatened in writing, or, to the Company's knowledge, otherwise threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary that (a) questions the validity of this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement or the JMPICC Letter, or the right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company or the Subsidiaries, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company or the Subsidiaries, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for any of the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to the Company) involving the prior employment of any of the Company's or the Subsidiaries' employees, their use in connection with the Company's or the Subsidiaries' business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company or a Subsidiary currently pending or which the Company or a Subsidiary intends to initiate. 3.14 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. The Company and each Subsidiary has timely filed all tax returns and forms required to be filed by them. All taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and all other taxes due and payable by the Company or any Subsidiary on or before the Closing, have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become delinquent. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been advised (a) that any of its returns have been or are being audited as of the date hereof, or (b) of any deficiency in assessment or proposed judgment to its taxes. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any tax return. The Company and each Subsidiary has duly and timely withheld all taxes required to be withheld in connection with the business of any of them and such withheld taxes have been either duly and timely paid to the proper governmental authorities or properly set aside in accounts for such purpose. The balance sheets contained in the Financial Statements reflect an adequate reserve for all taxes payable or asserted to be payable by the Company or any Subsidiary for all taxable periods or portions thereof through the Closing. There has been no claim or issue (other than a claim or issue that has been paid in full or for which adequate provision has been made in the balance sheets contained in the Financial Statements) concerning any liability for taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary asserted, raised or threatened by 9. 14 any taxing authority and, to the knowledge of the Company, no circumstances exist to form the basis for such a claim or issue. There are no outstanding adjustments for income tax purposes applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary required as a result of changes in methods of accounting effected on or before the Closing Date and no material elections for income tax purposes have been made by the Company or any Subsidiary that are currently in force or by which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by or has any obligation under any tax allocation, sharing, indemnity or similar agreement or arrangement. 3.15 EMPLOYEES. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees. There is no labor union organizing activity pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened with respect to the Company or a Subsidiary. No employee has any agreement or contract, written or verbal, regarding his employment other than the Company's Form of Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. Other than the Company's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan and the Key Employment Agreements for Kevin Randolph and Ed Roberto, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any currently effective employment contract, deferred compensation arrangement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement or other employee compensation plan or agreement. To the Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, nor any consultant with whom the Company or a Subsidiary has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company or a Subsidiary; and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the Company and each of the Subsidiaries of their respective present employees, and the performance of the Company's and each of the Subsidiaries' contracts with their respective independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. No employee of the Company or a Subsidiary has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or a Subsidiary or to any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, nor does the Company or a Subsidiary have a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or group of key employees. The Company and each Subsidiary has complied with all applicable laws, rules and regulations pertaining to the employment or termination of employment of their respective employees, including all such laws, rules and regulations relating to labor relations, equal employment opportunities, fair employment practices, prohibited discrimination or distinction and other similar employment activities. 3.16 CONTRACTS. The Company has delivered to the Purchasers complete and correct copies of all written contracts listed on Schedule C, and accurate descriptions of all material terms of all oral contracts listed on Schedule C (collectively, the "Contracts"). All Contracts are legal, valid, binding, in full force and effect and enforceable against each party thereto, except to the extent that any failure to be enforceable, individually and in the aggregate, could not have or result in a material adverse effect on the business, operations or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary, or materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its respective obligations hereunder and under the Investor Rights Agreement or the JPMICC Letter. There does not exist under any Contract any violation, breach or event of default, or event or condition that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a violation, breach or event of default thereunder, on the 10. 15 part of the Company or any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person, that would have or result in a material adverse effect on the business, operations or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary, or materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its respective obligations hereunder and under the Investor Rights Agreement or the JPMICC Letter. The enforceability of no Contract will be affected in any manner by the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement or the JPMICC Letter, and no Contract contains any change in control or other terms or conditions that will become applicable or inapplicable as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Shareholders' Agreement or the JPMICC Letter. 3.17 INSURANCE. All insurance policies maintained at present by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary are in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereon have been paid. The Company and each Subsidiary, as the case may be, has complied in all material respects with the terms and provisions of such policies. The insurance coverage provided by such policies is adequate and suitable for the respective businesses of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and is on such terms (including as to deductibles and self-insured retentions), covers such risks, contains such deductibles and retentions, and is in such amounts, as the insurance customarily carried by comparable companies of established reputation similarly situated and carrying on the same or similar business. 3.18 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENTS. Each current employee, officer and consultant of the Company and of each Operating Subsidiary has executed a form of Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. 3.19 REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties which violation could, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice alleging any such violation. No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares or the Conversion Shares, except such as may be required by United States federal or state securities laws, as will be filed in a timely manner. The Company and each Subsidiary has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority (collectively, "Approvals") necessary for the conduct of their businesses as now being conducted by them, the lack of which could, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the business, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company or the Subsidiary and the Company believes it or each Subsidiary can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted. All Approvals have been duly obtained and are held by the Company or a Subsidiary, and are in full force and effect. The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all Approvals held by it. 11. 16 There is no claim, litigation or action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, that could result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or modification or nonrenewal of any such Approval; none of the Company or any Subsidiary has been notified that any such Approval will be modified, suspended or cancelled; and there is no reasonable basis for any such revocation, cancellation, suspension, modification or nonrenewal. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the JPMICC Letter and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not violate any such Approval, or result in any revocation, cancellation, suspension, modification or nonrenewal thereof. Each registration, report, statement, notice or other filing required to be filed by the Company or any Subsidiary with any governmental authority under any applicable law, rule, regulation or order has been timely filed, and when filed complied and continues to comply with such applicable law, rule, regulation or order in all material respects. 3.21 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY LAWS. To its knowledge, neither the Company or any Subsidiary is in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the environment or occupational health and safety, and to the Company's knowledge, no material expenditures are or will be required in order to comply with any such existing statute, law or regulation. 3.22 YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. With respect to its business critical information systems, the Company hereby represents, warrants, confirms and agrees that it and each Subsidiary has (a) undertaken a detailed review and assessment of all areas within its business and operations that could be adversely affected by its failure to be Year 2000 Compliant on a timely basis; (b) developed a detailed plan and timeline for becoming Year 2000 Compliant on a timely basis; and implemented such plan in accordance with its timetable in all material respects. The Company reasonably anticipates that it and each Subsidiary will be Year 2000 Compliant on a timely basis. The Company covenants that it will, within a reasonable time following Closing, make written inquiry of each of its and each Subsidiary's key suppliers, vendors and service providers as to whether such persons will, on a timely basis, be Year 2000 Compliant in all material respects. The Company shall promptly notify each Investor if the business or operations of the Company will be materially adversely affected by the failure of the Company, any Subsidiary or any key supplier, vendor or service provider to be Year 2000 Compliant. "Year 2000 Compliant" means, with regard to any entity, that all software, embedded microchips and other data, word processing and telecommunications capabilities used by and material to the business, operations or financial condition of such entity are able to interpret and manipulate data involving all calendar dates correctly and without causing any abnormal ending scenario, including but not limited to complications related to dates on and after January 1, 2000. 3.23 OFFERING VALID. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained in Section 4.2 hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares and the Conversion Shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any agent on its behalf has solicited or will solicit any offers to sell or has offered to sell or will offer to sell all or any part of the Shares to any person or persons so as to bring the sale of such Shares by the Company within the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any state securities laws. 12. 17 4.

Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of registering the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock. Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Shares or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Purchaser might propose. (b) ACQUISITION FOR OWN ACCOUNT. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the Conversion Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution.

Further, Purchaser has not published any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement. 13. 18 (d) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser represents that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. (e) COMPANY INFORMATION.

Purchaser has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment. (f) RULE 144. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares, and, if issued, the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. (g) RESIDENCE. If the Purchaser is an individual, then the Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address of the Purchaser set forth on Exhibit A; if the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of the Purchaser in which its investment decision was made is located at the address or addresses of the Purchaser set forth on Exhibit A. 5.
