----------------
13
more than 225,000 shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or other rights

indirectly controlled by one or more of such officers, directors or stockholders
or members of their immediate families (other than any such transactions in the
ordinary course of business which are in an amount not in excess of $25,000)
unless such transaction is approved in advance by a majority of the members of
the Board of Directors who are disinterested with respect to that transaction.
6.9. Termination of Covenants. All covenants of the Company contained
------------------------
in Section 6 of this Agreement shall expire and terminate as to each Purchaser
after the time of effectiveness of the Company's first underwritten public
offering registered under the Securities Act.
7. Dispute Resolution.
------------------
7.1. Arbitration. The parties acknowledge and agree that time is of
the essence in resolving any dispute that may arise in connection with this
Agreement. Except as set forth herein, any controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, that cannot be resolved
between the parties in a timely manner shall be settled by binding arbitration
in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). The expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrator's
fees, expert witness fees, and attorney's fees, may be awarded to the prevailing
party, in the
14
discretion of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned between the parties in any
manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless and until the arbitrator
decides that one party is to pay for all (or a share) of such expenses, the
Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, including legal and accounting fees
and costs arising in connection with enforcement of this Agreement or the
Collateral Agreements. The parties shall keep confidential the decision of the
arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing the parties may disclose information
about such decision to persons who have a need to know, such as limited
partners, directors, trustees, management employees, witnesses, experts,
investors, attorneys, lenders, insurers, and others who may be affected.
Additionally, if a party has stock which is publicly traded, the party may make
such disclosures as are required by applicable securities laws. Once the
arbitration award has become final, if the arbitration award is not promptly
satisfied, then these confidentiality provisions shall no longer be applicable.
7.2. Specific Performance. Notwithstanding Section 7.1 hereof, the
--------------------
parties will be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement
specifically (without posting a bond or other security). The parties hereto
agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any
breach of the provisions of this Agreement and any party may in its sole
discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous.
-------------

the Company and Purchasers under this Agreement may be waived or amended (either

waiver or amendment, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to
the record holders of the Shares who have not previously consented thereto in
writing. Except to the extent provided in this Subsection 8.1, this Agreement or

--------
agreements made herein shall survive the Closing, notwithstanding any

hereunder as of the date of such certificate or instrument.

----------------------
herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the

other address as the Company shall have furnished to each Purchaser in writing.

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

Warrant No. W-5
CLASS B COMMON STOCK WARRANT
OF
COMPS INFOSYSTEMS, INC.
-----------------------
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Summit Ventures III, L.P. (the
"Holder") is entitled to subscribe for and to purchase from COMPS INFOSYSTEMS,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), 292,658 shares of the non-voting
Class B Common Stock of the Company, at the price per share set forth in Section
1 hereof, payable in cash or check (such price being referred to herein as the
"Exercise Price" and subject to adjustment as set forth Section 2 below), at any
time or from time to time following the occurrence of any of the events
described in Section 3 hereof and during the term as set forth below.
1. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be $.01 per share.
--------------
2. Adjustments for Subdivisions, Dividends, Combinations or
--------------------------------------------------------
Consolidation of Common Stock.
- -----------------------------
a. Subdivisions, Dividends. Consolidations. In the event (i) the
---------------------------------------
outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock shall be increased (by stock
split, stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Class B
Common Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such increase, be proportionately decreased; and (ii) the
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be decreased, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Class B Common
Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such decrease, be proportionately increased. In the event that
the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to this Subsection, the number of shares
of Class B Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased to a number determined by multiplying (1) the number of shares of
Class B Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the
adjustment by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which
shall equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the adjustment.
b. Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation In case of
--------------------------------------------------
any reclassification, capital reorganization or change
in the Class B Common Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a
subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section
1
2(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or
change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing
the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of
this Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right,
commencing upon the times set forth in Section 3, and prior to the expiration of
this Warrant, to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the
exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification,
reorganization or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Class B
Common Stock as were subject to this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder
of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable
with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable
upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase
price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall
remain the same.
c. Conversion of Class B Common Stock. If at any time prior to the
----------------------------------
expiration of this Warrant, all of the Company's then outstanding Class B Common
Stock is converted into shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, then this
Warrant shall immediately become exercisable for that number of shares of Class
A Common Stock receivable upon conversion by a holder of the same number of
shares of Class B Common Stock as were subject to this Warrant immediately prior
to such conversion, and the Exercise Price shall be immediately adjusted to
equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Exercise Price of the
maximum number of shares of Class B Common Stock for which this Warrant was
exercisable immediately prior to such conversion, by (y) the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after
such conversion. After any such conversion, all references herein to Class B
Common Stock shall be deemed to be references to Common Stock.
d. Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be
--------------------
made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant,
or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such
event and of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or
property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant.
3. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in
-------------------
part, commencing (i) one day prior to the earlier of the closing or the
effective time of a "Liquidity Event," as defined herein; or, (ii) if earlier,
October 14, 2001, by the surrender of this Warrant and payment to the Company by
cash or check of the Exercise Price for all of the Shares purchased. The Company
shall, within ten (10) days after such delivery, (a) prepare and issue a
certificate for the Shares purchased in the name of the Holder of this Warrant,
or as such Holder may direct (subject to the restrictions upon transfer
contained herein and upon payment by such Holder hereof of any applicable
transfer taxes) and (b) prepare and issue a new warrant of like terms if this
Warrant is exercised for less than all of the Shares subject hereto. "Liquidity
Event" shall mean (i) an acquisition, consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into any other corporation or corporations unless the stockholders of
the Company prior to such transaction directly or indirectly own more than fifty
percent (50%) of the voting stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation or
corporations; (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person other than a
corporation or partnership
2
controlled by the Company or its stockholders; (iii) the effectuation by the
Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company prior to such
transaction or series of related transactions, is disposed of; and (iv) the
closing of the sale of the Company's securities pursuant to an underwritten
public offering.
a. Net Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
------------------
contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company together with a properly endorsed notice of exercise and
notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a
number of shares of Class B Common Stock computed using the following formula:
Y(A-B)
------
X = A
Where X = the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder,
Y = the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable under
the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date
of such calculation),
A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Class A
Common Stock (at the date of such calculation), and
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of
Class A Common Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in
good faith; provided, however, that where there exists a public market for the
Company's Class A Common Stock at the time of such exercise, fair market value
shall mean the average over the preceding twenty (20) trading days (or such
fewer number of days as such public market has existed) of the mean of the high
closing bid and asked prices on the over-the-counter market as reported by
Nasdaq, or if then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq
National Market, the average over the preceding twenty (20) trading days (or
such fewer number of days as the Class A Common Stock has been so traded) of the
mean of the high and low prices on the principal national securities exchange or
the National Market on which it is so traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company's initial
public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the
per share offering price to the public of the Company's initial public offering.
4. Term of Warrant. This Warrant expires and shall no

Warrant No. W-A1
CLASS A COMMON STOCK WARRANT
OF
COMPS INFOSYSTEMS, INC.
-----------------------
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Christopher A. Crane (the
"Holder") is entitled to subscribe for and to purchase from COMPS INFOSYSTEMS
INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), 37,329 shares of the voting Class
A Common Stock of the Company, at the price per share set forth in Section 1
hereof payable in cash or check (such price being referred to herein as the
"Exercise Price" and subject to adjustment as set forth Section 2 below), at any
time or from time to time following the date hereof and during the term as set
forth below.
1. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be $.01 per share.
--------------
2. Adjustments for Subdivisions, Dividends, Combinations or Consolidation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Common Stock.
- ---------------
a. Subdivisions, Dividends, Consolidations. In the event (i) the
---------------------------------------
outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock shall be increased (by stock
split, stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Class A
Common Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such increase, be proportionately decreased, and (ii) the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be decreased, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Class A Common
Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect shall concurrently with the
effectiveness of such decrease, be proportionately increased. In the event that
the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to this Subsection, the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased to a number determined by multiplying (1) the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to the
adjustment by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which
shall equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the adjustment.
b. Reclassification. Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of
--------------------------------------------------
any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the Class A Common
Stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or
stock dividend provided for in Section
1
2(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or
change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing
the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the holder of
this Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right, prior to
the expiration of this Warrant, to purchase, at a total price equal to that
payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of
stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such
reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number of
shares of Class A Common Stock as were subject to this Warrant immediately prior
to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate
provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder
of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable
with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable
upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase
price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall
remain the same.
c. Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made
--------------------
in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in
the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event
and of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property
thereafter purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant.
3 Exercise of Warrant. The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or
-------------------
in part by its surrender to the Company and payment to the Company by cash or
check of the Exercise Price for all of the Shares purchased. The Company, shall
within ten (10) days after such delivery, (a) prepare and issue a certificate
for the Shares purchased in the name of the Holder of this Warrant, or as such
Holder may direct (subject to the restrictions upon transfer contained herein
and upon payment by such Holder hereof of any applicable transfer taxes) and (b)
prepare and issue a new warrant of like terms if this Warrant is exercised for
less than all of the Shares subject hereto.
a. Net Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
------------------
contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to
receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the
portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal
office of the Company together with a property endorsed notice of exercise and
notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a
number of shares of Class A Common Stock computed using the following formula:
Y(A-B)
------
X = A
Where X = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder,
Y = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable under
the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date
of such calculation),
2
A = the fair market value of one share of the Company's Class A Common
Stock (at the date of such calculation), and
B = the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one share of
Class A Common Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in
good faith; provided, however. that where there exists a public market for the
Company's Class A Common Stock at the time of such exercise, fair market value
shall mean the average over the preceding twenty (20) trading days (or such
fewer number of days as such public market has existed) of the mean of the high
closing bid and asked prices on the over-the-counter market as reported by
Nasdaq, or if then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq
National Market, the average over the preceding twenty (20) trading days (or
such fewer number of days as the Class A Common Stock has been so traded) of the
mean of the high and low prices on the principal national securities exchange or
the National Market on which it is so traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company's initial
public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per share shall be the
per share offering price to the public of the Company's initial public offering.
4. Term of Warrant. This Warrant expires and shall no longer be
---------------
exercisable as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific standard time, February 6, 2008, and shall
be void thereafter.
5. Conditions to Exercise of Warrant or Transfer of the Shares. It
-----------------------------------------------------------
shall be a condition to any exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall have
received, at the time of such exercise, a representation in writing that the
Shares being issued upon such exercise are being acquired for investment and not
with a view to any sale or distribution thereof, or a statement of the pertinent
facts covering any proposed distribution thereof. It shall be a condition to any
transfer of any or all of the Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, other
than a transfer registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), that the Company shall have received a legal opinion, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, reciting the
pertinent circumstances surrounding the proposed transfer and stating that such
transfer is exempt from the prospectus and the registration requirement of the
Act. Each certificate evidencing the Shares issued upon exercise of this Wanant,
or upon any transfer of such shares (other than a transfer registered under the
Act or any subsequent transfer of shares so registered) shall, at the option of
the Company, contain a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company
and its counsel, restricting the transfer of such shares to sales or other
dispositions exempt from the requirements of the Act. It is agreed that the
Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to
Rule 144, other than opinions with regard to sales under Rule 144(k).
6. Fractional Shares. This Warrant shall in no event be exercisable for
-----------------
fractional shares, and in lieu thereof, the number of shares which would
otherwise be purchased under this Warrant shall be rounded up to the nearest
whole share of Common Stock.

7. Miscellaneous.

hereof in full. Such shares when issued in compliance with the provisions of
this Warrant and the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
b. The terms of this Warrant shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Holder hereof and of the
Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise hereto.
c. The Holder, as such, shall not be entitled to vote or receive
dividends or be deemed to be a shareholder of the Company for any purpose, nor
shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder,
as such, any rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give

d. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance
of and agreement to the foregoing terms and conditions.
e. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case
of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement
reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any

its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like date
and tenor.

of California.

Purchasers shall have the right of first refusal to purchase all or any part of
the Offered Stock, exercisable as set forth in Subsection (b) hereof.
(b) Exercise of Purchasers' Right of First Refusal. The Purchasers'
----------------------------------------------
Right of First Refusal may be exercised as follows:
(i) Each Purchaser shall have the opportunity to purchase all
or any part of its pro rata share of Offered Stock. A Purchaser's pro-rata share
shall be determined by dividing the number of shares of Stock held by a
Purchaser by the total number of shares of Stock held by all Purchasers. The
Purchasers shall be entitled to apportion Offered Stock to be purchased among
its partners and affiliates, provided that such Purchaser notifies Crane of such
allocation, and provided that such allocation does not threaten the Company's
ability to rely upon an exemption from the registration provisions of the Act or
the qualification provisions of applicable blue-sky laws. In addition, a
Purchaser shall be entitled to assign its rights under this Section 3 to the
Company.
(ii) If any Purchaser or its assignees desires to purchase all
or any part of the Offered Stock, such Purchaser must, within the twenty (20)
day period (the "Purchaser Refusal Period") commencing on the date of Crane's
Notice, give written notice to Crane and to the Company of such Purchaser's
election to purchase Offered Stock. In the event that any Purchaser elects not
to purchase its pro-rata share of the Offered Stock, such shares may be
purchased by the other Purchasers.
(iii) Within ten (10) days after expiration of the Purchaser
Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the "Purchasers'
Expiration Notice") to Crane and to the Purchasers specifying either (A) that
Offered Stock was subscribed by the Purchasers exercising their Rights of First
Refusal or (B) that the Purchasers do not have the right to purchase any of the
Offered Stock because the Purchasers did not timely exercise their Right of
3
First Refusal to purchase Offered Stock, in which case the Purchasers'
Expiration Notice will specify each Purchaser's Share of the Offered Stock with
respect to the Right of Co-Sale.
(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Offered Stock to be
--------------
purchased by the Purchasers exercising their Right of First Refusal under this
Agreement will be the Offered Price, but will be payable as set forth in Section
3(d) hereof. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the
cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company in good faith, which determination will be
binding upon the Purchasers and Crane absent fraud or error.
(d) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Stock
-------
purchased by a Purchaser exercising its Right of First Refusal will be made
within seven (7) days after the date of the Purchaser's Expiration Notice.
Payment of the purchase price will be made by the exercising Purchaser (i) in
cash (by check), (ii) by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding
indebtedness of Crane to the Purchaser or (iii) by any combination of the
foregoing.
(e) Rights as a Stockholder. If the Purchasers exercise their Rights
-----------------------
of First Refusal to Purchase the Offered Stock, then, upon the date the notice
of such exercise is given by the Company, Crane will have no further rights as a
holder of the Offered Stock except the right to receive payment for the Offered
Stock from the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
Crane will forthwith cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Stock to
be surrendered to the Company for transfer to the Purchasers.
(f) Crane's Right To Transfer. If the Purchasers have not elected to
-------------------------
purchase all of the Offered Stock, then, subject to the Right of Co-Sale, Crane
may transfer that portion of the Offered Stock permitted to be sold by Crane, to
any person named as a purchaser or other transferee in Crane's Notice, at the
Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such transfer (i) is
consummated within ninety (90) days after the date of Crane's Notice and (ii) is
in accordance with all the terms of this Agreement. If the Offered Stock is not
so transferred during such 90 day period, then Crane may not transfer any of
such Offered Stock without complying again in full with the provisions of this
Agreement.
4. Right of Co-Sale.
----------------
(a) Right of Co-Sale. If the Purchasers have waived or failed to
----------------
timely exercise their Rights of First Refusal, a Purchaser may transfer to the
transferee proposed in Crane's Notice the Purchaser's Share of the Offered
Stock, as such Share is specified in the Purchaser's Expiration Notice, by
giving written notice to Crane, within ten (10) days after the date of the
Purchaser's Expiration Notice, specifying the number of shares and type of Stock
that the Purchaser desires to transfer to the transferee.
(b) Consummation of Co-Sale. A Purchaser may exercise the Right of
-----------------------
Co-Sale by delivering to Crane at the closing of the transfer of Offered Stock
to such transferee (the "Closing") one or more certificates, properly endorsed
for Transfer, representing such Stock to be Transferred by the Purchaser. At
the Closing, such certificates or other instruments will be transferred and
delivered to the transferee set forth la Crane's Notice in consummation of the
transfer of the Offered Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in
such notice, and
4
Crane will remit, or will cause to be remitted, to the Purchaser within seven
(7) days after such Closing that portion of the proceeds of the Transfer to
which the Purchaser is entitled by reason of the Purchaser's participation in
such transfer pursuant to the Right of Co-Sale.
5. Multiple Series, Class or Type of Stock. If the Offered Stock consists
---------------------------------------
of more than one series or class or type of Stock, the Purchaser has the right
to purchase or transfer hereunder, as the case may be, each such series, class
or type; provided, however, that if, as to the Right of Co-Sale, the Purchaser
does not hold any of such series, class, or type, and the proposed transferee is
not willing, at the Closing, to purchase some other series, class or type of
Stock from the Purchaser, or is unwilling to purchase any Stock from the
Purchaser at the Closing, then the Purchaser will have the put right (.the "Put
Right") set forth in Section 6(b) hereof
6. Refusal to Transfer; Put Right.
(a) Refusal to Transfer. Any attempt by Crane to transfer any Stock

in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void. The Company will
not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Stock that has been sold,
gifted or otherwise transferred in violation of this Agreement, or (ii) to treat
as owner of such Stock, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any
purchaser, donee or other transferee to whom such Stock may have been so
transferred.

in the Prohibited Transfer or at the Closing if the Purchaser then owns Stock of
such class, series or type; otherwise of Common Stock) having a purchase price
equal to the aggregate purchase price the Purchaser would have received in the
closing of such Prohibited Transfer if the Purchaser had elected to exercise its
right of Co-Sale with respect thereto or in the Closing if the proposed
transferee had been willing to purchase the Stock of the Purchaser. The closing
of such sale to Crane will occur within seven (7) days after the date of the
Purchaser's Put Notice to Crane.

the Purchasers. The Purchasers will have the absolute right to exercise or
refrain from exercising any right or rights that such party may have by reason
of this Agreement, including without limitation the right to purchase or
participate in the sale of Offered Stock, and the Purchasers will not incur any
liability to any other party hereto with respect to exercising or refraining
from exercising any such right or rights. Any waiver by a party of its rights
hereunder will be effective only if evidenced by a written instrument executed
by such party or its authorized representative.
9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

than one person will be deemed to have been given, for purposes of counting time
periods hereunder, on the date given to the last party required to be given such

successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.
Any permitted transferee of Crane who is required to become a party hereto will
be considered "Crane" for purposes of this Agreement and any permitted
transferee of Stock held by a Purchaser will be considered a "Purchaser" for
purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
------------
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be
enforced to the maximum extent possible and such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this
Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained herein.
(d) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written
---------
instrument executed by the Company, the Purchasers holding a majority of the
Stock then held by all Purchasers and Crane.
(e) Continuity of Other Restrictions. Any Stock not purchased by a

restrictions imposed under the Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws,
or by agreement.
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed
-------------
in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding that body of
law pertaining to conflict of laws.
(g) Obligation of Company; Binding Nature of Exercise. The Company
-------------------------------------------------
agrees to use its best efforts to enforce the terms of this Agreement, to inform
Crane and the Purchasers of any breach hereof (to the extent the Company has
knowledge thereof) and to use reasonable efforts to assist Crane and the
Purchasers in the exercise of their rights and the performance of their
obligations hereunder. Any exercise of the Right of First Refusal or Right of
Co-Sale will be binding upon the party so exercising, and may not be withdrawn
without the written consent of Crane, except that such exercise may be withdrawn
unilaterally by the exercising party if there is any legal prohibition as to a
party s consummation of its purchase or sale hereunder.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an
original, and all such counterparts together will constitute one and the same

----------------
of the parties with respect to the specific subject matter hereof and supersedes
in their entirety all other
7
agreements or understandings between or among the parties hereto with respect to
such specific subject matter.
(j) Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
--------
Agreement and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, or its By-laws, the
terms of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, or its By-laws, as the case
may be, will control. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and any other agreement to which Crane is a party or by which Crane is
bound, the terms of this Agreement will control. In the event of any conflict
between the Company's books and records and this Agreement or any notice
delivered hereunder, the Company's books and records will control absent fraud
or error.
(k) Dispute Resolution. The parties acknowledge and agree that time
------------------
is of the essence in resolving any dispute that may arise in connection with
this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, any controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, that cannot be
resolved between the parties in a timely manner shall be settled by binding
arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The expenses of the arbitration, including the
arbitrator's fees, expert witness fees, and attorney's fees, may be awarded to
the prevailing party, in the discretion of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned
between the parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless
and until the arbitrator decides that one party is to pay for all (or a share)
of such expenses, the Company shall pay reasonable expenses, including legal and
accounting fees and costs arising in connection with enforcement of this
Agreement or the Collateral Agreements. The parties shall keep confidential the
decision of the arbitrator, however, the parties may disclose information about
such decision to persons who have a need to know, such as limited partners,
directors, trustees, management employees, witnesses, experts, investors,
attorneys, lenders, insurers, and others who may be directly affected. Once the
arbitration award has become final, if the arbitration award is not promptly
satisfied, then these confidentiality provisions shall no longer be applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties will be entitled to enforce their
rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other
security). The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not
be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and any
party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of
competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in
order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of

corporation (the "Company"), Christopher A. Crane ("Crane"), and the purchasers
listed on the signature page attached hereto (the "Purchasers").
RECITALS
--------
WHEREAS, the Purchasers, Crane and the Company are parties to a Voting
Agreement dated as of October 14. 1994 (the " 1994 Agreement").
WHEREAS, the Purchasers, Crane and the Company desire to amend and restate,
in its entirety, the 1994 Agreement as set forth below.
WHEREAS, Crane is a holder of a majority of the Company's Common Stock and
the Purchasers are the holders of all of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock.
WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Purchasers to purchase the Series B
Preferred Stock of the Company, Crane is executing this Agreement and as an
inducement to Crane to execute this Agreement, the Purchasers are executing this
Agreement.
AGREEMENT
---------
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set
forth herein, the Purchasers, Crane and the Company hereby agree that the 1994
Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:
1. Voting of Shares. Until the termination of this Agreement in
----------------
accordance with Section 4 below, Crane will vote all shares then within his
control of the equity securities of the Company with rights to vote in the
election of the Company's directors, at any annual or special meeting of the
stockholders of the Company, or in any action by written consent of the
stockholders of the Company in order to cause and maintain the election to the
Board of Directors of one director to be elected by the holders of the Company's
Common Stock who is mutually acceptable to Crane and the Purchasers holding a
majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock voting together as a single class. A nominee shall be deemed to be
acceptable to the Purchasers if they have consented in writing to his or her
election.
2. Legends on Stock Certificates. The certificates representing shares
-----------------------------
held by Crane shall bear the following legend:
"The shares represented by this certificate are subject to the limitations,
restrictions and other terms and conditions of an Amended and Restated
Voting Agreement dated February 9, 1998, on file with the Company."
1
3. Application of Agreement to After-Acquired Shares. All of the
-------------------------------------------------
provisions of this Agreement shall apply to, and the term "Shares" as used
herein shall include, all of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of
the Company, whether issued before or after the Closing Date (as defined in the
Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement) and all securities issued as a replacement
for the Shares or with respect to the Shares as a result of any stock dividend,
stock split or other similar event.
4. Term of the Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier
---------------------
of (a) the consummation by the Company of any underwritten public offering of
the Company's securities in which the gross proceeds to the Company equal or
exceed $10,000,000 at a purchase price of $3.73 per share (as adjusted for stock
splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and the like), (b) the sale of the
Company (through a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of
its assets or stock), or (c) the effective time of the liquidation of the
Company.
5. Binding Effect on Transferees. This Agreement and all of the terms,
-----------------------------
covenants, and conditions herein contained, shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of all of the parties hereto and their respective transferees,
successors, heirs, executors, administrators and assigns. A condition precedent
to the transfer of any of the Common Stock of the Company to any third party by
Crane is that the transferee shall become a party to this Agreement and shall
execute any and all instruments, and take all other actions, necessary to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement shall not bind any transferee of Crane that is a not-for-profit
charitable organization, provided, however, that the foregoing exception shall
-------- -------
no longer apply following the transfer by Crane of an aggregate of up to 257,000
of the Company's equity securities by Crane to not-for-profit charitable
organizations.
6. Severability. Wherever there is any conflict between any provision of
------------
this Agreement and statute, law, regulation or judicial precedent, the latter
shall prevail but in such event the provisions of this Agreement thus affected
shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within
the requirement of the law. In the event that any part, section, paragraph, or
clause of this Agreement shall be held by a court of proper jurisdiction to be
indefinite, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the entire Agreement shall not
fail on account thereof, but the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect unless such construction would clearly be contrary to the
intentions of the parties.
7. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) Waivers and Amendments. With the written consent of each of
----------------------
Crane, the Company and the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, this Agreement
may be amended and the obligations of Crane under this Agreement may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or
prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely).
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be executed and entered into
-------------
in the State of Delaware and is to be governed by and interpreted under the laws
of the that state.
2

----------------
between the parties with respect to the matters referred to herein, and no prior
or contemporaneous agreement or understanding shall be effective for any
purpose.
(d) Heading. The paragraph headings herein have been inserted for
-------
convenience only, and are not intended to restrict, construe, or modify in any
manner any of the terms and provisions hereof.
(e) 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.
(f) Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to
-------------------
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto, upon any
breach or default of any other party hereto shall impair such right, power or
remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default,
or any acquiescence herein or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter
occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of
any kind or character on the part of the party hereto of any breach or default
under this Agreement, or any waiver of any provisions or conditions of this
Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in such writing and that all remedies, either under this
Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to such party, shall be cumulative
and not alternative.
(g) Specific Performance. The parties will be entitled to enforce
--------------------
their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other
security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this
agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties
hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy
for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and any party may in its sole
discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any
violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
(h) Dispute Resolution. The parties acknowledge and agree that time
------------------
is of the essence in resolving any dispute that may arise in connection with
this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, any controversy or claim arising out
of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, that cannot be resolved
between the parties in a timely manner shall be settled by binding arbitration
in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). The expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrator's
fees, expert witness fees, and attorneys' fees, may be awarded to the prevailing
party, in the discretion of the arbitrator, or may be apportioned between the
parties in any manner deemed appropriate by the arbitrator. Unless and until the
arbitrator decides that one party is to pay for a (or a share) of such expenses,
the Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, including legal and accounting
fees and costs arising in connection with enforcement of this Agreement or the
Collateral Agreements. The parties shall keep confidential the decision of the
arbitrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may disclose information
about such decision to persons who have a need to know, such as directors,
trustees, management employees, witnesses, experts, investors, attorneys,
lenders, insurers, and others who may be affected. Once the
3
arbitration award has become final, if the arbitration award is not promptly
satisfied, then these confidentiality provisions shall no longer be applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may seek equitable enforcement of the
terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7(g) hereof in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date
first above written.

Company will sell to Oster on the date hereof 13,865 shares (the "Oster Shares")

and the Oster Shares being collectively referred to as the "Shares", and the
Summit Warrants, the Crane Warrants and the Oster Warrants being collectively
referred to as the "Warrants"). This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant
to Section 5.1(h) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Agreement.
As such counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and
inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this
opinion, except where a statement is qualified as to knowledge or awareness, in
which case we have made no or limited inquiry as specified below. We have
examined, among other things, the following:
(a) The Agreement;
1
(b) The Amended and Restated Voting Agreement between Summit,
Crane and the Company, the Summit Warrants between Summit and the Company,
the Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement
between Summit, Crane and the Company, and the Amended and Restated
Investors Rights Agreement between Summit, Crane, Oster and the Company,
the Crane Warrant between the Company and Crane, and the Oster Warrant
between the Company and Oster, each dated February 6, 1998;
(c) The notes, loan agreements, mortgages, deeds of mm, security
agreements and other written agreements and instruments creating,
evidencing or securing indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money,
identified to us by an officer of the Company as material to the Company,
and the other agreements listed on Exhibit H to the Agreement (the
"Material Agreements");
(d) The Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate") and Bylaws of the Company (together, the "Governing
Documents");
(e) Court and administrative orders, writs, judgments,
injunctions and decrees specifically directed to the Company and identified
to us by an officer of the Company as material to the Company (the "Court
Orders");
(f) Records of the Company with respect to the issuance and
transfer of capital stock and options;
(g) Minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and
stockholders of the Company and various written consents provided to us by
the officers of the Company;
(h) A certificate of good standing for the Company from the
Secretary of State of Delaware,
(i) A certificate of good standing for the Company from the
Secretary of State of California; and
(j) Certificates from certain of the Company's officers as of
the date hereof
The documents described in subsections (a) - (b) above are referred to
herein collectively as the "Documents." In such examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all
documents submitted to us as copies. In rendering this opinion, we have relied
on and assumed the correctness and completeness of certificates of government
officials and reports of professional filing service companies. As to questions
of fact, we have been furnished with, and with your consent have exclusively
relied upon, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company. In
addition, we assumed that the representations and warranties of Summit set forth
in the Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof, including without
limitation the representation that each Purchaser is an
2
"accredited investor" as defined under Regulation D pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
To the extent that the obligations of the Company may be dependent
upon such matters, we assume for purposes of this opinion that: all parties to
the Documents other than the Company have complied with any applicable
requirement to file returns and pay taxes under the Franchise Tax Law of the
State of California; all parties to the Documents other than the Company are
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their
respective jurisdictions of organization; all parties to the Documents other
than the Company have the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver
the Documents and to perform their respective obligations under the Documents to
which they are a party; and the Documents to which such parties other than the
Company are a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such
parties and constitute their legally valid and binding obligations, enforceable
against them in accordance with their terms. We express no opinion as to
compliance by all parties to the Documents other than the Company with any state
or federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transactions because of
the nature of their business.
Where statements in our opinion are qualified by the term "material,"
those statements involve judgments and opinions as to the materiality or lack of
materiality of any matter to the Company or its business, prospects, assets or
financial condition, which are entirely those of the Company and its officers,
after having been advised by us as to the legal effect of such matters; however,
such opinions and judgments are not known by us to be incorrect.
Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "to the best of our
knowledge" or a similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that those attorneys
in this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with the sale of the
Shares and the Warrants do not have current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy
of such statement. However, except as otherwise expressly indicated, we have
not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of any
such statement, and no inference that we have any knowledge of any matters
pertaining to such statement should be drawn from our representation of the
Company.
The opinions hereinafter expressed below are subject to the following
qualifications:
(a) Our opinion is qualified and no opinion is given to the extent
that the enforceability of any agreement entered into by the Company, including
the Documents, may be limited by, or such agreements and the transactions
contemplated thereby may be subject to or affected by, the effect of general
principles of equity, including without limitation, concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of
specific performance or injunctive relief (regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law), or that may otherwise contravene public policy;
(b) Our opinion is qualified and no opinion is given to the extent
that the enforceability of any agreement entered into by the Company, including
the Documents, may be limited by, or such agreements and the transactions
contemplated thereby may be subject to or affected by: (i) the effect of
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation, readjustment of debt,
arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect
relating to or
3
affecting the rights of creditors or (ii) any other laws or statutes which
modify, affect or invalidate any remedial, contribution or indemnification
provisions set forth in such agreements;
(c) We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of
Section II(F) of the Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement;
(d) Our opinion is qualified and no opinion is given to the extent
that certain rights, remedies and waivers contained in the Documents may be
limited or rendered ineffective by applicable California laws or judicial
decisions governing such provisions, but such laws or judicial decisions do not
render the Documents invalid or unenforceable as a whole;
(e) We express no opinion as to the Company's compliance with the
securities laws, rules and regulations of any state other than California, or
with the antifraud provisions of state (including California) and federal laws,
rules and regulations concerning the issuance of securities;
(f) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any of the
agreements (other than the Documents) attached as exhibits to the Agreement;
(g) We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction
only of the federal laws of the United States, the internal laws of the State of
California and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"DGCL"), and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or
the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or in the case of
Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of
any other local agency within any state;
(h) Our opinion is limited by the effect of and subject to any
disclosures or exceptions contained in or referred to in the Documents,
including, without limitation, those contained in the Officer's Certificate
delivered by the Company at the Closing pursuant to the Agreement;
(i) We express no opinion as to matters concerning intellectual
property, (including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, maskworks, trade
secrets and copyrights), real estate or employment matters;
(j) We have assumed that there are no agreements, contracts,
understandings or negotiations among the parties to any agreement as to which we
are required to opine, that would modify the terms of such agreements or the
respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder;
(k) We express no opinion as to compliance with the antitrust
provisions of federal or state statutory or common law;
(1) With respect to our opinion in paragraph 1, we have relied solely
upon certificates (or the verbal acknowledgement) of the Secretary of State of
Delaware to the effect that the Company is duly incorporated and in good
standing under the laws of the Delaware.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the

indirectly, any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or business
entity.
3. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver

approvals. Each of the Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company, and constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
