agreements, or which might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in
any material adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of
the Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity
ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for
the foregoing.  The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or

consultant with whom the Company 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; and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the
Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts
with its 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 has been granted the right to continued
employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination

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 that would
conflict with the Company's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither the
execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the
Company's business by the employees for the Company, nor the conduct of the
Company's business as proposed, will 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.  It will
not be necessary for the Company to utilize any inventions, trade secrets or
proprietary information of any of its employees made prior to their

similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being
conducted by it, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the
business, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company and
believes it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar authority
for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted.

        3.18  ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY LAWS.  To its knowledge, the Company is
not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the

                                     SECTION 4


                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS

       Each Purchaser hereby severally represents and warrants to the Company
with respect to the purchase of the Shares as follows:

        4.1   EXPERIENCE.  Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating
and investing in private placement transactions so that Purchaser is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser's investment in the Company.
Purchaser, by reason of its business or financial experience or the business or
financial experience of its professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and
who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the
Company, directly or indirectly, has the capacity to protect its own interests
in connection with the purchase of the Shares under this Agreement.

        4.2   INVESTMENT.  Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the underlying
Common Stock for investment for Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof.  Purchaser understands that the Shares and the underlying
Common Stock have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act
by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, and that any such exemption would
depend, among other things, upon the bona fide nature of the investment intent
and the accuracy of such Purchaser's representations as expressed in this
Agreement.  Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
the Shares or the underlying Common Stock.

        4.3   RULE 144.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares and the
underlying Common Stock must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private
placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among
other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability
of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring
following the period of time prescribed by Rule 144, the sale being effected
through a "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a "market
maker" (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of shares being sold during
any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

        4.4   NO PUBLIC MARKET.  Purchaser understands that no public market now
exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, that the Company has
made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Shares or the
underlying Common Stock and that, even if such a public market exists at some
future time, the Company may not then be satisfying the current public
information requirements of Rule 144.

        4.5   ACCESS TO DATA.  Purchaser and its representatives have met with
representatives of the Company and have had the opportunity to ask questions of,
and receive answers from, said

                                       7

<PAGE>

representatives concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of this
transaction as well as to obtain any information requested by Purchaser.  Any
questions raised by Purchaser or its representatives concerning the
transaction have been answered to the satisfaction of Purchaser and its
representatives.  Purchaser's decision to purchase the Shares is based in
part on the answers to such questions as Purchaser and its representatives
have raised concerning the transaction and on its own evaluation of the risks
and merits of the purchase and the Company's proposed business activities.

        4.6   AUTHORIZATION.  This Agreement when executed and delivered by the
Purchaser will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the
Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

        4.7   TAX LIABILITY.  Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisers
the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Purchaser has relied solely on
such advisers and not on any statements or representations of the Company or its
agents.  Purchaser understands that it (and not the Company) shall be
responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
Agreement.

              (a)    As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year,
and in any event within ninety (90) days thereafter, consolidated balance sheets
of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such fiscal year,
and consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of changes in
financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such year,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and setting
forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year,
all in reasonable detail and audited by the Company's independent public
accountants.

              (b)    Contemporaneously with delivery to holders of Common Stock,
a copy of each report of the Company delivered to holders of the Company's
Common Stock.

        7.2   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

              (a)    As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal month,
and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, an unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of the Company, as at the end of such month, and unaudited
consolidated statements of income and unaudited consolidated statements of cash
flow for such month and for the current fiscal year to date, compared against
the annual budget.  Such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (other than
accompanying notes and subject to year-end adjustments), all in reasonable
detail.

              (b)    As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days
prior to the end of each fiscal year, a budget for the next fiscal year,
including balance sheets and sources and applications of funds statements and,
as soon as prepared, any other budgets or revised budgets prepared by the
Company.

              (c)    For so long as a Purchaser is eligible to receive reports
under this Section 7.2, it shall also have the right, at its expense, to discuss
the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with the Company's officers,
all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide any
information that the Board of Directors reasonably considers to be a trade
secret or to contain confidential information.

        7.3   TRANSFER OF INFORMATION RIGHTS.  The information rights set forth
in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 may be transferred in any nonpublic transfer of Shares
(or Shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares), provided that
the Company is given written notice of such transfer, and provided further that
the right to receive the information set forth in Section 7.2 may only be
transferred to a holder of, or affiliated holders who in the aggregate hold, at
least 350,000 Shares (or an equivalent number of Shares consisting of the Shares
or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares, as appropriately adjusted
for stock splits and the like).  In the event that the Company reasonably
determines that provision of information to a transferee

                                       10

<PAGE>

pursuant to this Section 7.3 would materially adversely affect its
proprietary position, such information may be edited in the manner necessary
to avoid such effect.

        7.4   TERMINATION OF COVENANTS.  The covenants set forth in Sections 7.1
and 7.2 shall terminate on and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier
of (i) the consummation of the Company's sale of its Common Stock in an
underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement
filed under the Securities Act, immediately subsequent to which the Company
shall be obligated to file annual and quarterly reports with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") or (ii) the registration by the Company of a class of its equity
securities under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

        7.5   CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT.  The
Company shall require all of its current and future officers and each employee
or consultant with access to confidential information regarding the Company's
operations, to execute and deliver a customers form of confidential information
and invention assignment agreement.

        7.6   VESTING OF EMPLOYEE STOCK.  Any stock granted to employees of or
consultants to the Company as part of the Common Stock reserved for such purpose
shall be subject to the Company's standard vesting provisions, which provide for
a four year term with 25% of the total shares or options to be granted vesting
on the first anniversary of the date of employment or association with the
Company and the remaining shares vesting at a rate of 1/48th of the total amount
per month ("Standard Vesting"); provided, however, that in the case of any stock
granted to an employee or consultant of the Company who (x) has previously
received a stock grant with Standard Vesting and (y) has at least one year of
continuous service with the Company, the vesting provisions for such follow-on
stock grant may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors (or a committee
thereof), provide for a four year term with vesting at a rate of 1/48th of the
total amount per month.

                                     SECTION 8

                                BOARD REPRESENTATION

        8.1   ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.  The Company and each of the Purchasers
covenant and agree to nominate, and to use their diligent best efforts to cause
the Board of Directors to be elected consistent with the provisions of
Section IV.B.3 of the Restated Certificate.

                                     SECTION 9

                                   MISCELLANEOUS

        9.1   GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the conflicts of
laws principles thereof, and by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware to the extent applicable to any corporate action related to the Company

of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares) may, with the written
consent of the Company, waive, modify or amend on behalf of all holders, any
provisions hereof benefiting such holders, so long as the effect thereof will be
that all such holders will be treated equally.

        9.5   NOTICES, ETC.  All notices and other communications required or

                                      12

<PAGE>

or remedy of such holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such
breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach
or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or
default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or
thereafter occurring.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character on the part of any holder of any breach or default under this
Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any holder 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.  All remedies, either
under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be
cumulative and not alternative.

        9.7   CALIFORNIA CORPORATE SECURITIES LAW.  THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES

PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT
FROM THE QUALIFICATION BY SECTIONS 25100, 25102, OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA

CONDITIONED UPON SUCH QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO

Purchasers.

        9.9   COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually
executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument.

        9.10  SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
without said provision; provided that no such severability shall be effective if
it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

        9.11  TITLES AND SUBTITLES.  The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not considered in construing or
