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 employees, their use in connection with the Company's business of
any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The
Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality. No action, suit or proceeding has been instituted or is
threatened by the Company.

secrets or other proprietary rights necessary to its business as now conducted
and as proposed to be conducted in the Business Plan, and has not received any
written notice that it is infringing upon or otherwise acting adversely to the
right or claimed right of any person under or with respect to any of the
foregoing, and to the Company's knowledge there is no basis for any such claim.
A complete list of patents and pending patent applications of the Company is set
forth in Exhibit C.  There are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of
         ---------
any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company bound by or a party to
any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses,
information and other proprietary rights and process of any other person or
entity other than such licenses or agreements arising from the purchase of "off
the shelf" or standard products.  The Company has not received any communication
alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as
proposed in the Business Plan, would violate any third party's patent, maskwork
right, moral right, trademark, trade secret, trade name, copyright or other
proprietary right.  To the Company's knowledge, none of the Company's officers
or employees has improperly used or is making improper use of any confidential
information or trade secrets of others, including those of any former employer

of the Purchasers' representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, the
offer, sale and issuance of the Shares as provided in this Agreement are exempt
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act

filing of notices required or permitted to be filed after the Closing Date with
certain United States federal and state securities commissions, which notices

properties and assets free and clear of all mortgages, deeds of trust, liens,
encumbrances, security interests and claims except for statutory liens for the
payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and liens, encumbrances and
security interests which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do
not affect the Company's rights to use and possess such properties and assets.
With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance
with such leases and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, the Company holds
valid leasehold interests in such assets free of any liens, encumbrances,
security interests or claims of any party other than the lessors of such
property and assets.

     3.15 Labor Agreements and Actions.  The Company is not bound by or subject

Company is not a party to or bound by any currently effective employment
contract, deferred compensation agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit
sharing plan, retirement agreement, or other employee compensation agreement.

     3.16 Interested Party Transactions.  To the best knowledge of the Company,
no officer or director of the Company or any "affiliate" or "associate" (as
those terms are defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of any
such person has, either directly or indirectly, a material interest in: (i) any
person or entity which purchases from or sells, licenses or furnishes to the
Company any goods, property, technology, intellectual or other property rights
or services or is in competition with the Company; or (ii) any contract or
agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it may be bound or
affected. No employee, officer, or director of the Company or member of his or

containing substantially similar terms.  No such employee, consultant or
contractor has excluded works or inventions from his or her assignment of
inventions to such employee or contractor's Invention Assignment and
Confidentiality Agreement.  The Company is not aware that any of its employees,
consultants or contractors are in violation of such agreement.

     3.19 Disclosure.  The Company has fully provided the Purchasers with all
the information the Purchasers have requested for deciding whether to purchase
the Shares and all information that the Company believes is reasonably necessary
to make such a decision, including the Business Plan. Neither this Agreement and
the Exhibits hereto (when read together) nor the Business Plan nor any other
statements, certificates or documents made or delivered in connection herewith
or therewith, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein or herein not misleading
in light of the circumstances under which they were made. To the extent the
Business Plan was prepared by management of the Company, the Business Plan and
the financial projections contained in the Business Plan were prepared in good
faith and based upon assumptions that the

                                       8
<PAGE>

Company believes are reasonable; however the Company does not warrant that it
will achieve such financial projections.

     3.20 No Breach by Employee.  The Company is not aware that any employee,
contractor or consultant of the Company is obligated under any agreement
(including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or subject to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, or any other
restriction relating to the relationship of any such employee, contractor or
consultant with the Company or any prior employer that would interfere with the
use of his or her best efforts to carry out his or her duties for the Company or
to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the
Company's business as proposed to be conducted.  Neither the execution nor
delivery of this Agreement, the Rights Agreement, the Voting Agreement or the
Co-Sale Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by the
employees, consultants and contractors of the Company and the conduct of the
Company's business as presently proposed will not, to the best of 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 of such employees, consultants or contractors or the
Company is now obligated.  The Company does not believe it is or will be
necessary to utilize any inventions of any employees of the Company (or persons
the Company currently intends to hire) made prior to or outside the scope of
their employment by the Company.

     3.21 Subsidiaries.  The subsidiaries of the Company are listed on Exhibit
                                                                       -------

similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being
conducted by it, the lack of which would be reasonably likely to materially and
adversely affect the business, properties, prospects, or financial condition of
the Company, and the Company believes it can obtain, without undue burden or
expense, any similar authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be
conducted as set forth in the Business Plan.  The Company is not in default in

acknowledges that, based on information provided to the Company by such

Investment Act.

three (3) months in any discussion (i) with any representative of any

the same manner and with the same accuracy, functionality, data integrity and
performance as when dates or time periods prior to January 1, 2000 are involved,

                                  SECTION IV

               REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS

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

     4.1  Investment Experience.  It is aware of the Company's business affairs
and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the
Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares
and the underlying Common Stock. Such Purchaser: (i) has experience as an
investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges
that such Purchaser is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of
such Purchaser's investment in the Shares and has such knowledge and experience
in financial or business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares and protecting its own
interests in connection with this investment and/or (ii) has a preexisting
personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers,
directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables such
Purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial
circumstances of such persons. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

     4.2  Investment intent.  It is acquiring the Shares and the underlying
Common Stock for investment only for its own account, and not with the view to,
or for resale in connection

                                       11
<PAGE>

with, any distribution thereof other than a transfer to "affiliates" (as defined
in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act). It understands that the
issuances of the Shares and the underlying Common Stock to such Purchaser have
not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a
specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the
availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of
the investment intent of such Purchaser as expressed herein.

     4.3  Rule 144.  It acknowledges that the Shares and the underlying Common
Stock must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the
Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.  It
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 not less than one
year after the security was last held by the Company or an affiliate of the
Company, the sale being effected through a "broker's transaction" or in
transactions directly with a "market maker" and the number of shares being sold
during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

     4.4  No Public Market.  It understands that no public market now exists for
any of the securities issued by the Company, and that the Company has made no
assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company's securities.

     4.5  Access to Data.  It has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's
business, management and financial affairs with the Company's management.  The
foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties
made by the Company in Section 3 or the rights of the Purchasers to rely
thereon.

     4.6  Authorization.  Each of this Agreement, the Rights Agreement, the
Voting Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement when executed and delivered by such
Purchaser will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the
Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
indemnification provisions of Section 5.7 of the Rights Agreement may be limited
by principles of public policy, and subject to laws of general application
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

     4.7  Legends.  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares
may bear one or all of the following legends:

          (a) "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT
TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS
SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT."

                                       12
<PAGE>

          (b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of California,
including any legend required by the California Department of Corporations and
Sections 417 and 418 of the California Corporations Code.

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no
such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a
transfer without value by a Purchaser to an affiliate (as such term is defined
in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such Purchaser, if the transferee
agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he
were an original Purchaser hereunder.
