          1.  Duties and Scope of Employment.
              ------------------------------

                    (a)  Position and Duties.  For the term of his employment
                         -------------------
under this Agreement, the Company agrees to employ Executive in the position of
President - U.S. and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Executive shall report to
the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and his position will be based at
the Company's corporate headquarters in San Mateo, California. Executive will be
responsible for the management of the Company's U.S. business, including
managing the Company's financial functions such as reporting, fundraising,
merger and acquisition activities and other projects as assigned by the CEO. In
performing his duties to the Company, Executive shall spend no more than twenty
percent (20%) of his time travelling.

                    (b)  Obligations to the Company.  During the term of his
                         --------------------------
employment, Executive shall devote his full business efforts and time to the
Company; provided, however, that this shall not preclude Executive from serving
as a member of the board of directors of up to three other companies, with the
prior consent of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors,
to the extent such other companies do not compete with the Company and to the
extent such service does not materially impact the ability of Executive to
fulfill his obligations to the Company. Executive shall comply with the
Company's policies and rules, as they may be in effect from time to time during
the term of his employment.

                    (c)  No Conflicting Obligations.  Executive represents and
                         --------------------------
warrants to the Company that he is under no obligations or commitments, whether
contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with his obligations under this
Agreement. Executive represents and warrants that he will not use or disclose,
in connection with his employment by the Company, any trade secrets or other
proprietary information or intellectual property in which Executive or any other
person has any right, title or interest and that his employment by the Company
as contemplated by this Agreement will not infringe or violate the rights of any
other person or entity. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he
has returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior
employers.

                    (d)  Commencement Date.  The employment of Executive by the
                         -----------------
Company shall be governed by this Agreement beginning as of the date first
written above ("Effective Date.")

          2.   Term of Employment.
               ------------------

                    (a)  Basic Rule.  The Company agrees to continue Executive's
                         ----------
employment, and Executive agrees to remain in employment with the Company, from
the Commencement Date set forth in Section 1(d) until the date when Executive's
employment terminates pursuant to Subsection (b) below (the "Employment
Period").  Executive's
<PAGE>

employment with the Company shall be "at will," which means that either
Executive or the Company may terminate Executive's employment at any time, for
any reason, with or Without Cause. Any contrary representations, which may have
been made to Executive shall be superseded by this Agreement. This Agreement
shall constitute the full and complete agreement between Executive and the
Company of the "at will" nature of Executive's employment, which may only be
changed in an express written agreement signed by Executive and a duly
authorized officer of the Company.

                    (b)  Termination. The Company or Executive may terminate
                         -----------
Executive's employment at any time for any reason (or no reason), and with
"Cause" or "Without Cause," by giving the other party fourteen (14) days' notice
in writing. Executive's employment shall terminate automatically in the event of
his death.

          3.   Cash and Incentive Compensation.
               -------------------------------

                    (a)  Salary.  The Company shall pay Executive as
                         ------
compensation for his services an annual base salary of $250,000 payable bi-
monthly and in accordance with the Company's standard payroll schedule. (The
compensation specified in this Subsection (a), together with any increases in
such compensation that the Company may grant from time to time, are referred to
in this Agreement as "Base Salary.")

                    (b)  Bonus.  Executive will be eligible to earn an annual
                         -----
bonus (the "Target Bonus") equal to a maximum of forty percent (40%) of his Base
Salary. At least fifty percent (50%) of the Target Bonus will be a guaranteed
bonus, to be paid to Executive in the form of deferred compensation, in two
equal, bi-annual payments. Half of the guaranteed bonus will be paid on July 1,
2000 and the remainder of the guaranteed bonus will be paid on January 1, 2001.
Increase of the guaranteed bonus must be approved by the Board, upon the
recommendation of the CEO.

                    Beginning January 1, 2001, Executive will be eligible to
earn the remaining portion of the Target Bonus, which will be based on
Executive's achievement of performance criteria to be mutually agreed upon by
the parties, and approved by the CEO of the Company.

                    (c)  Stock Option.  The unvested shares of Executive's stock
                         ------------
option granted by the Company under the Stock Option Plan, dated _____ 1995 (the
"Plan") shall continue to vest pursuant to the Plan. Upon the filing of an
initial public offering, Executive shall receive a stock option to purchase
shares representing one-half (1/2) of one percent (1%) of the then fully diluted
stock of the Company.

                       (i)  Termination Following Change of Control. If, within
                            ---------------------------------------
one year following a "Change of Control," Executive resigns for "Good Reason" or
the Company terminates Executive's employment "Without Cause," then Executive
shall receive: (A) a lump sum severance payment equal to nine (9) months of his
Base Salary; (B) the full amount of his Target Bonus for the year in which
Executive is terminated; and (C) immediate vesting of the unvested shares of all
options currently held by Executive, with the Company's repurchase right lapsing
as to such shares.

                                       2

                    (ii)  Termination Outside Change of Control.  If the Company
                          -------------------------------------
terminates Executive's employment "Without Cause" or Executive resigns for "Good
Reason" outside a Change of Control, then Executive shall receive: (A) a lump
sum severance payment equal to nine (9) months of his Base Salary; (B) immediate
vesting of the unvested shares of all options currently held by Executive, with
the Company's repurchase right lapsing as to such shares; and (C) a pro-rated
portion of Executive's full Target Bonus, based on Executive's length of service
to the Company during the calendar year in which he is terminated. In other
words, upon this termination event, Executive is to receive the full Target
Bonus representing forty percent (40%) of his Base Salary, an amount which is to
be adjusted according to the fraction of the year in which Executive was
employed immediately prior to his termination.

                    (iii) Effect of Change of Control on Stock Option Value.  In
                          -------------------------------------------------
the event that a Change of Control renders Executive's stock option worthless,
the Board shall engage in good faith negotiations with Executive to determine
and implement a fee payable to Executive for his services in assisting with the
transaction ("Success Fee").  The Company shall pay Executive the Success Fee
upon the closing date of the Change of Control.  This section 3(c)(vi) shall
only apply while the Company is private.

                    (iv)  Definitions.

                          (a) "Change of Control." For all purposes under this

Agreement, "Change of Control" shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation in which
securities possessing at least fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting

his time; or (v) any requirement that he relocate his place of employment by
more than thirty-five (35) miles from his then current office, provided such

consent. A resignation by Executive under any other circumstance or for any
other reason will be a resignation without "Good Reason."

                          (c) Termination for "Cause."  For all purposes under
                              ----------------------

by the Company's Board of Directors that Executive's employment be terminated

employment in any other circumstance or for any other reason will be a
termination "Without Cause."
