made to the Company's knowledge, and no breach of any such representation or warranty as to a Subsidiary shall be deemed to occur unless the inaccuracy of the

representations or warranties as to the Subsidiaries individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect. Except as set forth on the Disclosure Letter
delivered to Purchasers concurrently with this Agreement (the "Disclosure Letter"), the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as

Closing, have been delivered to counsel for the Purchasers. As used in this Agreement, "material adverse effect" means any material adverse effect on
the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the Company's ability to

thereunder, has been taken, other than stockholder approval. The Financing Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and as may be limited by public policy. The Securities, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the Securities may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and federal
securities laws as set forth herein. The Securities will be, assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers set forth in Article 4 hereof, issued in compliance with all

therein, there is no obligation or commitment of the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares, options, warrants or other rights with respect to any Subsidiary to any person. The Company has no
subsidiaries or affiliated companies other than the Subsidiaries and does not otherwise own or control, directly or indirectly, any equity interest in any other corporation, partnership, association
or other business entity. The Company is not a party to any partnership or joint venture.

        3.5.    SEC Filings; Financial Statements.    


        (a)  The
Company has filed all forms, reports and documents required to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") since the filing of the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and has made available to Purchasers such forms,
reports and documents in the form filed with the SEC. All such required forms, reports and documents are referred to herein as the "Company SEC
Reports". As of their respective dates, the Company SEC Reports, as of the date filed and as they may have been subsequently amended, (i) were prepared in accordance
with all requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Reports and (ii) did not at the time they were filed
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. 


        (b)  Each
of the financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the Company SEC Reports (collectively, the
"Financial Statements") (i) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect
thereto, (ii) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other, and
(iii) fairly presented the financial position of the Company at the respective dates thereof and for the periods indicated, except in each case for the omission of certain footnotes and subject
to normal and recurring year-end adjustments. The unaudited financial statements of the Company for the period ending December 31, 2001, in the form provided to the Purchasers (the  "Unaudited 12/31/01 Financial
Statements"), (i) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other, and (ii) represent in all material respects the financial position of the Company at the respective dates thereof and for
the periods indicated, except in each case for the omission of certain footnotes and subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements
or the Unaudited 12/31/01 Financial Statements, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and
(ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and
not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or
operating results of the Company. The Company is not aware of any material liability of any nature, direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, or in any amount not adequately reflected or reserved
against in the Financial Statements and notes thereto. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. 


        (c)  No
other written information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers which is not included in the Company's SEC Reports contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made, not misleading to the
extent that it would have a material adverse effect, provided that no representation or warranty is made as to projections except that they were prepared in good faith and based on all information
reasonably available to management. The Company satisfies the requirements for use of Form S-3 for registration of the resale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investors
Rights Agreement) and does not have any knowledge or reason to believe that it does not satisfy such requirements or any knowledge of any fact which would reasonably result in its failure to satisfy
such requirements. The Company is not required to file and will not be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into prior to the date hereof and to
which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound which has not been previously filed as an exhibit to its reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or which was not entered
into in the ordinary course of business since the date of the last periodic report on Form 10-Q. Except for the issuance of the Shares and the Warrants

contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is currently contemplated to occur, with respect to the Company or its business,
properties, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws and which has not been publicly disclosed. 



        3.6.    Title to Properties; Liens and Encumbrances.    The Company has good and marketable title to, or in the case
of leased properties and assets, valid and enforceable leaseholds or licensed interests in, all of its material properties and assets. Such properties and assets are not subject to any mortgage,
pledge, lien, security interest, conditional sales agreement, encumbrance or charge, except liens for current taxes not yet due and payable and mechanics liens incurred in the ordinary course of
business. The Company's properties and assets are in good condition and repair in all material respects. 



        3.7.    Intellectual Property Rights.    The Company (a) owns or has the right to use, free and clear of all
liens, claims and restrictions, all material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and other intangible or intellectual property rights (and licenses with respect to the
foregoing) needed for or used in the conduct of its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted without infringing upon or otherwise acting adversely to the right or claimed right of any
person or entity under or with respect to any of the foregoing, and (b) is not obligated or under any liability whatsoever to make any material payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise
to any owner of, licensor of, or other claimant to, any patent, trademark, trade name, copyright or other intangible assets, with respect to the use thereof or in connection with the conduct of its
business or otherwise; provided that representations and warranties as to infringement of third party patents are made to Company's knowledge. The Company owns and has the unrestricted right to use
all trade secrets, including
know-how, inventions, designs, processes and technical data required for or incident to the development, manufacture, operation and sale of all products and services sold or proposed to be
sold by the Company. All of the material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and trade secrets of the Company are held by the Company free and clear of any rights, liens or
claims of others, including, without limitation, current and former employees, former employers of all current and former employees, consultants, officers, directors and stockholders of the Company.
To its knowledge, the Company is not infringing upon or otherwise acting adversely to the right or claimed right of any person under or with respect to any of the foregoing. The Company has not
received any written or, to the Company's knowledge, oral communications alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed to be conducted would violate, any patent,
trademark, service mark, trade name, copyright or trade secret or other proprietary right of any other person or entity, which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of any unfavorable decision,
ruling or finding, would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has no knowledge of any infringement or improper use by any third party of any patent, trademark or copyright held
by it, and the Company has not instituted any action, suit or proceeding in which an act constituting an infringement of any such patent, trademark or copyright was alleged to have been committed by a
third party. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made by the Company regarding any of the foregoing intellectual property rights of the Company or, to the Company's knowledge, brought or
currently threatened in writing against the Company regarding any of the foregoing intellectual property rights of the Company or the use of any intellectual property of any third party by the Company
that, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a material adverse effect. 


        3.8.    Proprietary Information Agreements.    All employees and consultants of the Company are parties to a written
confidentiality and inventions agreement or a nondisclosure agreement substantially in the respective forms previously delivered to counsel for the Purchasers. To the Company's knowledge, none of the
Company's employees is or is alleged to be in violation of any employment agreement, non-competition agreement, patent or proprietary information disclosure agreement, or other contract or
agreement to which any of them is a party which violation or alleged violation relates to their relationship to the Company, its business or operations, or is in violation of the Confidentiality 


7





 




and Inventions Agreement with the Company to which such employee is a party. To the Company's knowledge, none of the Company's employees is obligated under any contract (including any license,
covenant or commitment of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would conflict with the employee's obligation to use
his or her best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company's business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. To the Company's knowledge, neither the
execution nor delivery of the Financing Agreements, nor the carrying on of the Company's business as currently conducted, will 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 the Company's employees is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is utilizing or that it
will be necessary to utilize, and will not utilize, any inventions, assets or rights of any of the Company's employees or consultants made or owned prior to their employment with or engagement by the
Company, in violation of any limitations or restrictions to which any such employee or consultant is a party or to which any of such inventions, assets or rights may be subject. To the Company's
knowledge, none of the Company's employees has taken, removed or made use of any proprietary documentation, manuals, products, materials, or any other tangible item from his or her previous employer,
and the Company will not make use of any such proprietary items in the business of the Company. 


        3.9.    Governmental Permits.    The Company has all governmental permits, operating authority, licenses, franchises,
certificates, consents, rights and privileges as are necessary to the operation of its business as currently conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, the absence of which would have a
material and adverse effect on the business of the Company (collectively, "Permits"). Such Permits are in full force and effect, no violations have been
or are expected to have been recorded in respect of any such Permits, and no proceeding is pending or threatened that could result in the revocation or limitation of any of such Permits. The Company
has not received any written notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Permits. The Company has conducted its business in material compliance with all Permits. 


        3.10.    Compliance with Other Instruments.    The Company is not in violation, breach or default of any term of the
Charter or Bylaws, or, in any material respect, of any term or provision of any material mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party, or of any provision of
any foreign or domestic state or federal judgment, decree, order statute, rule or regulation applicable to or binding upon the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of, and compliance with,
the Financing Agreements, and the issuance of the Securities, have not and will not (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) result in any such violation, or be in conflict with, or
constitute a default, under any such term or provision or the Company's Charter or Bylaws, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company pursuant to any such term or provision, or result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of any Permit applicable to the Company's
operations or any of its assets or properties. The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Agreements by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby will not (a) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party; or (b) result in a violation by the Company
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of NASDAQ) applicable to the Company or by which any
property or asset of the Company is bound or affected. The business of the Company is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity that would have a
material adverse effect. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of NASDAQ, and has no actual knowledge of any facts which would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the
Common Stock by NASDAQ in the foreseeable future; provided that no assurance is given that such a delisting will not result from a decline in the Company's stock price.

        3.11.    Litigation.    There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or overtly threatened in
writing against the Company or its properties before any court or governmental agency other than ordinary course litigation that, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material adverse
affect on the Company's finances or business. The Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency or
instrumentality which questions the validity of the Financing Agreements or any action to be taken in connection with the Financing Agreements. There is no litigation initiated by the Company
currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate. 


        3.12.    Employees.    The Company SEC Reports accurately describe, as of the date of this Agreement, the employee
benefit plans and arrangements of the Company therein described. The Company is not bound by or subject to (and none of its assets is bound by or subject to) any arrangement with any labor union and
does not have any collective bargaining agreements covering any of its employees. There is no pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened union organizing effort or labor dispute
involving the Company and any group of its employees. Subject to applicable law, the employment of each officer and employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminable at the will of the
Company. To its knowledge, the Company and its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity laws and with other laws related
to employment. None of the Company's U.S. based employees is a member of a union which relates to such employee's relationship with the Company. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f)
of the Securities Act) has notified the Company in writing that such officer intends to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the Company. The Company is in
compliance in all material respects with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and
hours. 


        3.13.    Insurance.    The Company has obtained and maintains in full force and effect fire, casualty, directors' and
officers' liability and other and liability insurance policies with recognized insurers with such coverages as are customary for companies in businesses similarly situated sufficient in amount to
allow replacement of the tangible properties of the Company that might be damaged or destroyed. The Company has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and has no reason to
believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business at a cost that would not have a material adverse effect. 


        3.14.    Governmental Consent, etc.    No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing
with, any person, including any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery, and performance of the Financing Agreements or the
offer, sale or issuance of the Securities, or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement except (i) certain filings as may be required under the Securities Act,
(ii) certain filings with the Nasdaq National Market, and (iii) the filing of the Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. 


        3.15.    Material Contracts and Obligations.    


        (a)  The
Company SEC Reports list all agreements required to be filed as "material contracts" under Rule 601 of Regulation SK as of the time of such filings and
reports. All of such agreements and contracts (including any additional material contracts that are otherwise listed on the Disclosure Letter) are valid, binding and in full force and effect in all
material respects, assuming due execution by the other parties to such agreements and contracts. 



        (b)  There
are no material agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company is a party or
by which the 


9





 




Company is bound which may involve indemnification by the Company with respect to infringement or misappropriation of proprietary rights. 


        (c)  The
Company has not declared or paid any dividends or authorized or made any distribution upon, or with respect to, any class or series of its capital stock. 



        (d)  The
Company is not presently engaged in any discussion (i) with any representative of any individuals(s), entity or entities regarding a Change of Control of the
Company, or (ii) regarding any other form of acquisition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. "Change of Control" means
(i) a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations in which the holders of the Company's outstanding shares immediately before such consolidation or
merger do not, immediately after such consolidation or merger, retain stock representing a majority of the voting power of the surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger or (ii) the
consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 



        3.16.    Tax Returns and Payments.    The Company has accurately prepared and timely filed all tax returns (foreign,
federal, state and local) required to be filed by it. All taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns, any assessments received, and all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or before
the date hereof have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become delinquent. The federal income and state income franchise tax, sales or use tax returns of the Company have not been
audited by any governmental authority. No material deficiency assessment or proposed adjustment of the Company's foreign or federal income tax or state or local taxes is pending and the Company has no
knowledge of any proposed material liability for any tax to be imposed upon its properties or assets for which the Company has not adequately reserved. The provision for taxes of the Company as shown
in
the Financial Statements is materially adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. The Company has not elected pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), to be treated as a collapsible corporation pursuant to Section 1362(a) or Section 341(f) of the Code and has not made any other
elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections which relate solely to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) which would have an adverse effect on the Company, the financial
condition, businesses as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted or any of the properties or assets. 



        3.17.    No Other Agreements Relating to Voting or Transfer.    Except as contemplated by the Financing Agreements and
the Company's certificate of incorporation, there is no agreement between the Company, any of its officers or Directors that affects or relates to the voting of or giving of consents or approvals with
respect to any voting security. 


        3.18.    Certain Transactions.    The Company is not directly or indirectly indebted to any officers or directors of
the Company, or to any member of his or her family, in any amount whatsoever. To the Company's knowledge, no stockholder of the Company, or officer or director of the Company, or member of his or her
family, is indebted to the Company or has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that
currently competes with the Company. None of the officers or directors of the Company, or member of his or her family, is directly or indirectly, interested in any contract with the Company. The
Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any material indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation. 


        3.19.    Changes.    Since December 31, 2001 there has not been: 



        (a)  any
material change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or operating results of the Company from that reflected in the Financial Statements or the Unaudited
12/31/01 Financial Statements, except changes in the ordinary course of business which have not been, in the aggregate, materially adverse; 


10





 



        (b)  any

        (c)  any
satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim or encumbrance or payment of any obligation by the Company, except in the ordinary course of business; 


        (d)  any
waiver by the Company of a material right or of a material debt owed to it;

ordinary course of business which have not been in the aggregate materially adverse;

        (h)  any
resignation or termination of employment of any key officer of the Company; and the Company does not know of the impending resignation or termination of employment
of any such officer; 


        (i)    receipt
of notice that there has been a loss of, or order cancellation by, any major customer of the Company;

loans or guarantees made by the Company to or for the benefit of its employees, officers or directors, or any members of their immediate families, other than travel
advances and other advances made in the ordinary course of its business; 


        (l)    any
declaration, setting aside or payment or other distribution in respect of any of the Company's capital stock, or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other

of the Company (as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted); or 


        (n)  any
agreement or commitment by the Company to do any of the things described in this Section 3.19. 


        3.20    Employee Benefit Plans.    The Company and its subsidiaries have materially complied with all applicable

requested for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. No representation or warranty of the Company or its Subsidiaries contained in the Financing Agreements and the exhibits attached hereto, nor
any certificate furnished or to be furnished to Purchasers at the Closing (when read together) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. 


        3.23    No Third Party Violation.    To Company's knowledge, no third party is in violation of or default under any

their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to
be integrated
with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange
or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, nor will the Company take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to
be integrated with other offerings. 


        3.26    Foreign Corrupt Practices.    Neither the Company nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person

ARTICLE 4
  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS    
  


        Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company with respect to the purchase of the Shares (and upon conversion thereof, the Conversion Stock) and Warrants
(and upon exercise thereof the Warrant Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) as follows: 


        4.1.    Authorization.    All action on the part of such Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery and performance by Purchaser of the Financing Agreements has been taken, and the Financing Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and binding
obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of general
application affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights and as may be limited by public policy. 


12





 



        4.2.    Experience; Accredited Investor.    Purchaser (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial or
business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities and protecting its own interests in connection with such investment, or
(ii) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company, or with one or more of the officers, directors or controlling persons of the Company, of a nature and duration that
enables Purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of such persons. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 


        4.3.    Investment.    Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment for such Purchaser's own account, not as a
nominee or agent and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise
distributing any of the Securities. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer, or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. Purchaser understands that the Securities to be purchased by Purchaser have not been and
will not be (except as contemplated by the Investors' Rights Agreement) registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act
which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. 


        4.4.    Rule 144.    Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities are restricted securities within the meaning of
applicable securities laws, have not been registered under the Securities Act, and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state and other
securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act that permit limited resale of
shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Securities will bear a legend reflecting these conditions on transferability thereof. 


        4.5.    No Public Market.    Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Shares or the Warrants and
that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Shares or the Warrants. 



        4.6.    Access to Data.    Purchaser believes it has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management
and financial affairs with the Company's management and an opportunity to review the Company's facilities. Purchaser understands that such discussions, as well as the written information issued by the
Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company's business and prospects which it believes to be material but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. Purchaser
represents and acknowledges that it believes it has been furnished with or has had access to such information as Purchaser would customarily require to evaluate the merits and risks of the proposed
investment. Purchaser represents and acknowledges that it believes it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company's officers, employees and directors regarding the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Purchaser has acted solely in its own interest and neither Purchaser nor any of its agents or employees has acted as an agent, employee, partner
or fiduciary of any other Purchaser as an underwriter, broker, dealer or investment adviser. The foregoing sentence, however, does not limit or modify any Purchaser's rights under this Agreement
including, without limitation, the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon. 



        4.7.    Further Limitations on Dispositions.    Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above,
Purchaser further agrees that, if at the time of any transfer of any Securities, such Securities shall not be registered under the Securities Act, prior to any disposition of all or any portion of the
Securities, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the holder or transferee furnish to the Company (i) such information as is appropriate to establish that such
transfer 


13





 




may be made without registration under the Securities Act; and (ii) at the expense of the holder or transferee, an opinion by legal counsel designated by such holder or transferee and
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such opinion
of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission or to any person or entity that is deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Purchasers for
purposes of the Securities Act, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale
or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the
Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement arising hereunder; provided that in order to make any sale, transfer or assignment of Securities, such Purchaser and its pledgee must make
such disposition in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under to Securities Act. 


        4.8.    Tax Consequences.    Purchaser has reviewed with Purchaser's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and
foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any tax consequences that may result under recently enacted tax legislation). Purchaser is
relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the
Purchaser's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 


        4.9.    Residence.    Purchaser is incorporated and has its principal place of business in the geographic location
identified on Exhibit A. 



        4.10.    Confidentiality.    Purchaser shall not disclose or provide to any other person or entity any
non-public information or materials, or copies thereof, whatsoever about the Company, disclosed or made available to the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
or in Purchaser's capacity as stockholder of the Company; provided, however, that Purchaser may disclose such information to its legal and financial advisors in connection with advice to be rendered
by them to the Purchaser(s), or to Purchaser's investors or potential investors or affiliates, or to any transferee or potential transferee of the Securities if such transfer is made in compliance
with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Prior to such disclosure, Purchaser shall advise such legal and financial advisors or Purchaser's investors or potential investors or affiliates,
or transferees or potential transferee, as the case may be, that each of them shall not further disclose such information or materials to any other person or entity or utilize such information or
materials for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company or the Purchaser, or such transferee, in the capacity of a stockholder of the Company, or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. The nondisclosure obligations set forth above shall not apply to any information which the Company determines in writing shall not be the subject of such nondisclosure
obligations, nor shall such obligations apply to any information which, by applicable law, the Company may not prohibit the Purchasers from disclosing. The Purchaser may disclose any information to
any governmental authority
having jurisdiction over it, provided that the Company when reasonably possible shall be given reasonable advance written notice of Purchaser's intent to disclose any information covered under this
Section 4.10 unless Purchaser is precluded from doing so by applicable law.

the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under
applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the
Purchasers on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all timely filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or "Blue Sky"
laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date. 


        7.5    Reporting Status.    With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Purchasers to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration
("Rule 144"), the Company shall: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144; (2) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (3) furnish to
each Purchaser, so long as such Purchaser owns Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Shares or the Warrant Stock, promptly upon request, (A) a written statement by the Company, if true,
that it has complied with the applicable reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and copies of such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, (C) the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) (or any successor rule) under the Securities Act, and
(D) such other information as 


17





 




may be reasonably requested to permit the Purchasers to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. 


        7.6    Reservation of Shares.    The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of all
of the Shares and the Warrant Stock without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercise. 


        7.7    Listing.    The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Shares and the Warrant Stock upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
issuance) and, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time under the terms of the
Financing Agreements. So long as any Securities are outstanding, the Company shall maintain the Common Stock's authorization for quotation or listing on the NASDAQ. The Company shall pay all fees and
expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.7. 


        7.8    Pledge of Securities.    The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged in compliance
with applicable securities laws by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin
agreement or other loan secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of
Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement; provided that in
order to make any sale, transfer or assignment of Securities, such Purchaser and its pledgee must make such disposition in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under
the Securities Act. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities
to such pledgee by a Purchaser. 


        7.9    Transfer Agent Matters.    The Company shall, promptly after Closing, instruct and authorize Fenwick &
West LLP, the transfer agent for the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, to issue the Securities. 


        7.10    Certain Tax Matters.    The Purchasers and the Company shall, prior to the Closing, agree in writing on how to
allocate the aggregate purchase price hereunder among the Shares and the Warrants. 


        7.11    Voting Agreement.    Each Purchaser shall exercise its best efforts to cause each New Purchaser that is being
substituted for the purchase of some or all of the Shares set forth beside such Purchaser's name on Exhibit A hereto to become a party to the Voting Agreement as an "Investor" (as defined in
the Voting Agreement).

certificate pursuant to Section 8.8 of this Agreement and the stop transfer instructions with respect to the Shares and the Conversion Stock represented by such certificate shall be removed and
the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Shares or Conversion Stock if such Shares or Conversion Stock are registered under the Securities Act and a prospectus
meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is available or if such holder provides to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect

        8.11.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one instrument. 


        8.12.    Delays or Omissions.    It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy
accruing to the Purchasers, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or
default, or any 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 therefore or thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character by the Purchasers of any breach or default under this Agreement,
or any waiver
by the Purchasers of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing and that all remedies, either under
this Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to the Purchasers, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

RECITALS    
  


        A.    The
Investors have agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company has agreed to sell to the Investors, shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Preferred Stock") and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (the
"Warrants") on the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Amended and Restated Series A Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement,
dated as                        , 2002, by and among the Company and the Investors (the "Series A
Agreement"). 


        B.    The
Series A Agreement provides that the Investors shall be granted certain information, registration and participation rights, all as more fully set forth herein. 


        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 


        1.    INFORMATION RIGHTS.    



        1.1    SEC Filings.    The Company covenants and agrees that,
commencing on the Effective Date, for so long as any Investor holds shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Agreement or issued pursuant to the exercise of any
Warrants issued under the Series A Agreement, the Company will timely file all reports required under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 



        1.2    Monthly and Budget Financial Information.    The Company
covenants and agrees that, commencing on the Effective Date, for so long as an Investor holds at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on
the Effective Date to the Investor under the Series A Agreement, the Company will: 



        (a)    Monthly Reports.    Upon request by an Investor, furnish to such Investor monthly unaudited financial
statements (except for the last month of the Company's fiscal year), including an unaudited Balance Sheet, an unaudited Statement of Operations and an unaudited Statement of Cash Flows; and 


        (b)    Annual Budget and Operating Plan.    Furnish to such Investor as soon as practicable and in any event no later
than thirty (30) days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company, an annual operating plan and budget, prepared on a monthly basis, for the next immediate fiscal year. The Company shall
also furnish to such Investor, within a reasonable time of its preparation, amendments to the annual budget, if any. 




        1.3    Confidentiality; Non-public Information.    Each
Investor agrees to hold all information received pursuant to this Section 1 in confidence, and not to use or disclose any of such information to any third party, except to the extent such

material. 






 

        1.4    Inspection Rights.    The Company shall permit each Investor
holding at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on the Effective Date to the Investor under the Series A Agreement, at such
Investor's request and expense, to visit and inspect the Company's properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company's affairs, finances and accounts with its
officers, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by such Investor. 




        2.    REGISTRATION RIGHTS.    



        2.1    Definitions.    For purposes of this Section 2: 



        (a)    Registration.    The terms "register,"
"registration" and "registered" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration
statement in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of the
S-3 Registration Statement. 


        (b)    Registrable Securities.    The term "Registrable Securities"
means: 



        (1)  all
the shares of Common Stock of the Company issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were purchased by any Investor
under the Series A Agreement or may hereafter be acquired by any Investor or any Investor's permitted successors and assigns upon exercise of any of the Warrants; and 


        (2)  any
shares of Common Stock of the Company issued (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued) as a dividend or
other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, all such shares of Common Stock described in clause (1) of this subsection 2.1(b);  excluding in all cases, however, any
Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which rights under this Section 2 are not
assigned in accordance with this Agreement or any Registrable Securities sold to the public or sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. 




        (c)    Registrable Securities Then Outstanding.    The number of shares of "Registrable
Securities then outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock which are Registrable Securities that are then (1) issued and outstanding or
(2) issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the Preferred Stock issued thereunder or issuable upon conversion of other then outstanding Preferred Stock. 



        (d)    Holder.    The term "Holder" means any person owning of record
Registrable Securities or any assignee of record of such Registrable Securities to whom rights set forth herein have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement;  provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, a record holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock convertible into such Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be the Holder of such Registrable Securities; and provided further, that
the Company shall in no event be obligated to register shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and that Holders of Registrable Securities will not be required to convert their shares of
Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock in order to exercise the registration rights granted hereunder, until immediately before the closing of the offering to which the registration
relates. 


        (e)    Form S-3.    The term
"Form S-3" means such form under the Securities Act as is in effect on the date hereof or any successor registration form under the
Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC that permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC. 




2





 





        (f)    SEC.    The term "SEC" means the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. 


        (g)    The S-3 Registration Statement.    The term "S-3 Registration
Statement" means a registration statement on Form S-3 described in Section 2.2 hereof. 




        2.2    Form S-3 Registration.    Within thirty
(30) days of the Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all of
the Registrable Securities then outstanding or thereafter issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants;  provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such registration, qualification or
compliance pursuant to this Section 2.2 in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such registration, qualification or compliance. The Company shall use best efforts to have the S-3 Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within one hundred twenty
(120) days of the Effective Date and shall leave such Registration Statement in effect until the second anniversary of the Effective Date, by which time the Company shall use best efforts to
have a second S-3 Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and shall leave such S-3 Registration Statement in effect until the fourth anniversary of the Effective
Date. The Company's obligations to keep any S-3 Registration Statement effective shall cease as to any shares that become saleable under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities
Act. If for any reason either registration statement is suspended, the Company shall use best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective again at the earliest possible date
following the request of any of the Investors. 


        In
the event the that the S-3 Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Effective Date, as relief for the
damages to the Holders by reason of any such delay in or reduction of their ability to sell any of their Registrable Securities (which remedy
shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law and in equity), the Company shall pay to the Holders on a pro rata basis relative to the number of Registrable Securities held by each
Holder an aggregate amount in cash equal to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and an additional fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for each of the following full months that elapse thereafter during
which the S-3 Registration Statement declared is not declared effective by the SEC, provided that in no event shall all such payments pursuant to this paragraph exceed two hundred fifty
thousand dollars ($250,000). Such payment shall be paid on the last day of the calendar month after which such payment is incurred. 


        The
Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the registrations required pursuant to this Section 2.2, including without limitation all filing, registration and
qualification, printers' and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one (1) counsel for each Asia Pacific, Vertex and any other selling Holders (not to exceed $15,000),
which may be counsel for the Company, and counsel for the Company (but excluding underwriters' discounts and commissions). Each Holder participating in the registration pursuant to this
Section 2.2 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by such Holder over the total number of shares included in such registration at the time it goes
effective) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering. 


        2.3    Obligations of the Company.    Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 



        (a)  Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the S-3 Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the
S-3 Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the S-3
Registration Statement. 




3





 


        (b)  Furnish
to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration. 


        (c)  Use
reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by the S-3 Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. 


        (d)  In
the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing
underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting hereby agrees to also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement. 


        (e)  Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, from and after the time the S-3 Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall have
the right to suspend the S-3 Registration Statement and the related prospectus in order to prevent premature disclosure of any material non-public information related to
corporate developments by delivering notice of such suspension to the Holders; provided, however, that
the Company may exercise the right to such suspension only twice in each calendar year for an aggregate of ninety (90) days in each calendar year. From and after the date of a notice of
suspension under this Section 2.3(e), each Holder agrees not to use the S-3 Registration Statement or the related prospectus for resale of any Registrable Security until the notice
from the Company that such suspension has been lifted. 




        2.4    Furnish Information.    It shall be a condition precedent to
the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof that each of the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities. 


        2.5    Delay of Registration.    No Holder shall have any right to
obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this
Section 2. 


        2.6    Indemnification.    



        (a)    By the Company.    To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder,
the partners, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, the "Violations" and,
individually, a "Violation"): 



        (1)  any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the S-3 Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; or 





4





 



        (2)  the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or 



        (3)  any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by the S-3 Registration Statement. 




The
Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, within one (1) month
after a request for reimbursement has been received by the Company, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;  provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.6(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such
Holder. 


        (b)    By Selling Holders.    To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally, but not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the S-3 Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under the S-3 Registration Statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or
officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company
or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any violation of subsections
2.6(a)(1) and 2.6(a)(2) above, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder with
respect to the Holder (and none other) for use in connection with such registration. Each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such
director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action within three months after a request for reimbursement has been received by the indemnifying Holder; provided,  however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided
further, that the total
amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this subsection 2.6(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such
Violation arises. 


        (c)    Notice.    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.6 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.6,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to 




5





 






the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties;  provided,
however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the
fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this
Section 2.6, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 2.6. 


        (d)    Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus.    The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and Holders are
subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the
S-3 Registration Statement becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final
Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished to the indemnified party and was not
furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act. 


        (e)    Contribution.    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in the proportion that is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to the S-3 Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 


        (f)    Survival.    The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.6 shall survive the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in the S-3 Registration Statement, and otherwise. 





        3.    PARTICIPATION RIGHTS.    



        3.1    General.    Each Holder (as defined in subsection 2.1(d)
hereof) and any party to whom such Holder's rights under this Section 3 have been duly assigned in accordance with subsection 4.1(b) hereof (each  such Holder or assignee being hereinafter referred
to as a "Rights Holder") has the right to purchase such Rights Holder's Pro
Rata Share (as defined below), of all (or any part) 



6





 


of any "New Securities" (as defined in Section 3.2 hereof) that the Company may from time to time issue after the Effective Date, provided,  however,
such Rights Holder shall have no right to purchase any such New Securities if such Rights Holder cannot demonstrate to the Company's reasonable
satisfaction that such Rights Holder is at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. A
Rights Holder's "Pro Rata Share" for purposes of this participation right is the ratio of (a) the number of Registrable Securities as to which
such Rights Holder is the Holder (and/or is deemed to be the Holder under subsection 2.1(d) hereof), to (b) a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the sum of (1) the
total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding plus (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which all then outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock of the Company are then convertible plus (3) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to then outstanding options and warrants (including options and warrants
exercisable for securities which are ultimately convertible into Common Stock). 


        3.2    New Securities.    "New
Securities" shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such Common Stock or
Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock;  provided, however, that the term "New Securities" does not
include: 



        (a)  shares
of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; 



        (b)  any
shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or issued hereafter to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers
to, the Company or any Subsidiary
pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors; 


        (c)  shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or
substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other
corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; provided that
such transaction or series of transactions has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors or pursuant to the purchase of less than a fifty percent (50%) equity ownership in connection with a
joint venture or other strategic arrangement or other commercial relationship, provided such an arrangement is approved by the Board of Directors; 


        (d)  any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Agreement, as such agreement may be amended; 



        (e)  shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding as of the
Effective Date and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof; and 


        (f)    shares
of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend or recapitalization. 




        3.3    Procedures.    In the event that the Company proposes to
undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Rights Holder a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the "Notice"),
describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities given in accordance with 



7





 


Section 5(a) hereof. Each Rights Holder shall have thirty (30) days from the date such Notice is effective, as determined pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof based upon the manner or
method of notice, to agree in writing to purchase such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice
to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Rights Holder's Pro Rata Share). If any Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such
thirty (30) day period to purchase such Rights Holder's full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a "Nonpurchasing Holder"), then
such Nonpurchasing Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of his Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that he, she or it did not so agree to purchase and the Company shall
promptly give each Rights Holder who has timely agreed to purchase his full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (a "Purchasing Holder")
written notice of the failure of any Nonpurchasing Holder to purchase such Nonpurchasing Rights Holder's full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (the
"Overallotment Notice"). Each Purchasing Holder shall have a right of overallotment such
that such Purchasing Holder may agree to purchase a portion of the Nonpurchasing Holders' unpurchased Pro Rata Shares of such offering on a pro rata basis according to the relative Pro Rata Shares of
the Purchasing Rights Holders, at any time within ten (10) days after receiving the Overallotment Notice. 


        3.4    Failure to Exercise.    In the event that any Rights Holder
fails to exercise in full the participation right within such thirty (30) plus ten (10) day period, then the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New
Securities with respect to which such Rights Holder's rights of first refusal hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof
than specified in the Company's Notice to the Rights Holders. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, then the Company shall
not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3. 



        3.5    Termination.    This participation right shall terminate upon
(1) any reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transaction or series of related transactions (each, a "combination transaction")) in
which the Company is a constituent corporation or is a party if, as a result of such combination transaction, the voting securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the
consummation of such combination transaction (other than any such securities that are held by an "Acquiring Stockholder", as defined below) do not
represent, or are not converted into, securities of the surviving corporation of such combination transaction (or such surviving corporation's parent corporation if the surviving corporation is owned
by the parent corporation) that, immediately after the consummation of such combination transaction, together possess at least a majority of the total voting power of all securities of such surviving
corporation (or its parent corporation, if applicable) that are outstanding immediately after the consummation of such combination transaction, including securities of such surviving corporation (or
its parent corporation, if applicable) that are held by the Acquiring Stockholder; or (2) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, that is followed by the distribution
of the proceeds to the Company's stockholders or (3) as to each Rights Holder, when all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the
Warrants have been converted and exercised, respectively, into Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.5, an "Acquiring Stockholder" means a
stockholder or stockholders of the Company that (1) merges or combines with the Company in such combination transaction or (2) owns or controls a majority of another corporation that
merges or combines with the Company in such combination transaction.

        4.    ASSIGNMENT AND AMENDMENT.    



        4.1    Assignment.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: 



        (a)    Information Rights.    The rights of an Investor under Section 1 hereof may be assigned only to an
affiliate of an Investor or another party who acquires from an Investor (or an Investor's permitted
assigns) at least that minimum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock described in Section 1.2 hereof. 


        (b)    Registration Rights; Participation Rights.    The registration rights of a Holder under Section 2 hereof
and the participation right of a Rights Holder under Section 3 hereof may be assigned only to an affiliate of an Investor or another party who acquires at least twenty-five percent
(25%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Agreement to such Holder, or thirty-five percent (35%) of the shares issued pursuant to the exercise
of any Warrants issued under the Series A Agreement, and/or the equivalent number (on an as-converted basis) of shares of Common Stock;  provided, however that no party may be assigned any of the foregoing rights unless the Company is given
written notice by the assigning party at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are
being assigned; provided further that any such assignee of such rights is not deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company, in its reasonable
judgment, to be a competitor of the Company; and provided further that any such assignee shall receive such assigned rights subject to all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of this Section 4. 




        4.2    Amendment and Waiver of Rights.    Any provision of this
Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the
Company, Asia Pacific, Vertex and the Investors (and/or any of their permitted successors or assigns) holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion thereof representing and/or convertible into a majority of all the Investors' Shares (as defined below). As used herein, the term "Investors'
Shares" shall mean the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A
Agreement and, in the event any of the Warrants has been exercised, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of such Warrants. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be binding upon each Investor, each Holder, each permitted successor or assignee of such Investor or Holder and the
Company. 




        5.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.    



        5.1    Notices.    Any notice, request or other communication required

to have been given when personally delivered or when deposited in the mail in the manner set forth above. 


        5.2    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement and the documents referred
to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede any and all prior understandings and agreements, whether
oral or written, between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. 



        5.3    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed exclusively in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of California, excluding that body of
law relating to conflict of laws and choice of law. 


        5.4    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement is
determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent
of the parties hereto. If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the value of this Agreement based upon the
substantial benefit of the bargain for any party is materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties
agree to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations. 


        5.5    Third Parties.    Nothing in this Agreement, express or
implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. 


        5.6    Successors And Assigns.    Subject to the provisions of
Section 4.1 hereof, this Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, administrators and legal representatives. 


        5.7    Titles and Headings.    The titles, captions and headings of
this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated, all references herein to "Sections,"
"subsections" and "exhibits" will mean "Sections," "subsections" and "exhibits" to this Agreement. 


        5.8    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 of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 


        5.9    Costs and Attorneys' Fees.    In the event that any action,
suit or other proceeding is instituted concerning or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder, the prevailing party shall recover all of such party's costs and

Stock authorized to be issued is 50,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share. The total number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is 17,801,205 shares, $0.001 par value per share,
12,801,205 of which are designated as "Series A Preferred Stock" and 5,000,000 of which shall remain undesignated. 


        The
Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or
more series, and, by filing a Certificate of Designation pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such
series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding). The number of authorized shares of
Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the corporation
entitled to vote, unless a vote of any other holders is required pursuant to a Certificate or Certificates establishing a series of Preferred Stock. 


        Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any Certificate of Designation designating any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Article IV, any new series of Preferred Stock may be designated, fixed and determined as provided herein by the Board of Directors without approval of the holders of Common Stock or the holders
of Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, and any such new series may have powers, preferences and rights, including, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation rights,
redemption rights and conversion rights, senior to, junior to or pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, or any future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. 


        The
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows: 



        1.    Definitions.    For purposes of this Article IV, the
following definitions apply: 



        1.1  "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 


        1.2  "Corporation" shall mean this corporation. 



        1.3  "Common Stock" shall mean the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation. 



1





 




        1.4  "Common Stock Dividend" shall mean a stock dividend declared and paid on the Common Stock that is payable in shares of
Common Stock. 


        1.5  "Original Issue Date" for the Series A Preferred Stock shall mean the date on which the first share of
Series A Preferred Stock is issued by the Corporation. 


        1.6  "Original Issue Price" shall mean $1.66 per share for the Series A Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like, with respect to such series of Preferred Stock). 


        1.7  "Permitted Repurchases" shall mean the repurchase by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock held by employees,
officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors, advisors, or other persons performing services for the Corporation or a subsidiary that are subject to restricted stock purchase agreements
or stock option exercise agreements under which the Corporation has the option to repurchase such shares: (i) at cost, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of
employment or services; or (ii) at any price pursuant to the Corporation's exercise of a right of first refusal to repurchase such shares. 


        1.8  "Series A Preferred Stock" shall mean the Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the
Corporation. 


        1.9  "Subsidiary" shall mean any corporation of which at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting stock is at the
time owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation or by one or more of such subsidiary corporations. 




        2.    Dividend Rights.    



        2.1    Series A Preferred Stock.    The holders of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of any funds and assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, noncumulative dividends in such amounts as may be determined
by the Board. No dividends (other than a Common Stock Dividend) shall be paid with respect to the Common Stock during any calendar year unless dividends in an equal or greater amount per share shall
have first been paid or declared and set apart for payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock during that calendar year; provided,
however, that this restriction shall not apply to Permitted Repurchases. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be mandatory or cumulative, and no rights or
interest shall accrue to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that the Corporation shall fail to declare or pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in
any amount in any calendar year or any fiscal year of the Corporation, whether or not the earnings of the Corporation in any calendar year or fiscal year were sufficient to pay such dividends in whole
or in part. 


        2.2    No Participation Rights.    If, after dividends for the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid or
declared and set apart in any calendar year of the Corporation, the Board shall declare additional dividends out of funds legally available therefor in that calendar year, then none of such additional
dividends shall be declared on the Series A Preferred Stock. 


        2.3    Non-Cash Dividends.    Whenever a dividend provided for in this Section 2 shall be payable
in property other than cash, the value of such dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board, provided that dividends payable in
securities (other than Common Stock Dividends and dividends declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Stock that are payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock) shall be valued in
the manner set forth in Section 3.4(a) and (b) hereof. 



        2.4    Payment on Conversion.    If the Corporation shall have declared and unpaid dividends with respect to any
Series A Preferred Stock, then immediately prior to, and upon a conversion of any of such Preferred Stock as provided in Section 5, the Corporation shall, subject to the legal 



2





 





availability of funds and assets therefor and subject to any liquidation preference rights which may have been previously invoked under Section 3 hereof, pay in cash to the holder of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted the full amount of any dividends declared and unpaid on such shares. 




        3.    Liquidation Rights.    In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the funds and assets that may be legally distributed to the Corporation's stockholders (the
"Available Funds and Assets") shall be distributed to stockholders in the following manner: 



        3.1    Series A Preferred Stock.    The holders of each share of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the Available Funds and Assets, and prior and in preference to any payment or distribution (or any setting apart of any payment or distribution) of any
Available Funds and Assets on any shares of Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price of the Series A Preferred Stock plus all declared but unpaid dividends on the
Series A Preferred Stock. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Available Funds and Assets shall be insufficient to permit the payment to holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock of their full preferential amount described in this subsection, then all of the remaining Available Funds and Assets shall be distributed among the holders of the then
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock pro rata, according to the number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof. 


        3.2    Participation Rights.    If there are any Available Funds and Assets remaining after the payment or
distribution (or the setting aside for payment or distribution) to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of their full preferential amounts described above in this Section 3, then
all such remaining Available Funds and Assets shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock pro rata according to the number of
shares of Common Stock held by such holders, where, for this purpose, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be deemed to hold (in lieu of their Series A Preferred Stock) the
greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion in full of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5 until such time as each holder of
then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall have received, in distributions made under this Section 3, an aggregate amount equal to $5.81 per share of Series A Preferred Stock
held (such aggregate dollar amount to include all amounts previously paid to such holder pursuant to Section 3.1) ("Maximum Participation
Threshold") after which time the holders of then outstanding Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining Available
Funds and Assets (if any) pro rata according to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock then held by each of them; provided,  however, that in the
event that each holder of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock would receive, in distributions made under
Section 3.1 and the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, an aggregate amount of less than $3.32 per share of Series A Preferred Stock held, then, notwithstanding the
foregoing, each holder of then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive from the remaining Available Funds and Assets, prior to any distribution on Common Stock, and in
addition to the amount specified in Section 3.1, an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock held equal to the product of $0.166 per share of Series A Preferred Stock
multiplied by the number of calendar years (including any fraction thereof) elapsed from the Original Issue Date to the time of distribution, and thereafter, any remaining Available Funds and Assets
shall be distributed among the holders of the outstanding Common Stock and Series A Stock as set forth above, subject to the Maximum Participation Threshold. All dollar figures in this
Section 3.2 shall be proportionately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like with respect to Series A Preferred Stock. 



        3.3    Merger or Sale of Assets.    Each of the following transactions shall be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation as those terms are used in this Section 3 



3





 





(and in such case the Available Funds and Assets shall be the consideration paid by the acquiror in the Combination Transaction (as defined below)): (a) any reorganization, consolidation or
merger approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (each, a "Combination Transaction") in which the Corporation is a constituent corporation
or is a party if, as a result of such Combination Transaction, the voting securities of the Corporation that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such Combination Transaction
(other than any such securities that are held by an "Acquiring Stockholder", as defined below) do not represent, or are not converted into, securities
of the surviving corporation of such combination transaction (or such surviving corporation's parent corporation if the surviving corporation is owned by the parent corporation) that, immediately
after the consummation of such Combination Transaction, together possess at least a majority of the total voting power of all securities of such surviving corporation (or its parent corporation, if
applicable) that are outstanding immediately after the consummation of such Combination Transaction, including securities of such surviving corporation (or its parent corporation, if applicable) that
are held by the Acquiring Stockholder; or (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, that is followed by the
distribution of the proceeds to the Company's stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, neither a tender offer nor other stock purchase transaction (other than a reorganization, consolidation or
merger approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) pursuant to which securities of the Corporation are purchased by a third party nor an issuance of securities by the Corporation that
results in a change of control, is or shall be deemed a Combination Transaction. For purposes of this Section 3.3, an "Acquiring Stockholder"
means a stockholder or stockholders of the Corporation that (i) merges or combines with the Corporation in such Combination Transaction or (ii) owns or controls a majority of another
corporation that merges or combines with the Corporation in such Combination Transaction. 



Notwithstanding
the foregoing or the provisions of Section 5.7 below, if any of the above described transactions are approved by a vote sufficient under the Delaware General Corporation Law,
this Certificate and the Bylaws of the Corporation, then such transaction and the rights of the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock will be
governed by the documents to be entered into in connection with such transaction. 




        3.4    Non-Cash Consideration.    If any assets of the Corporation distributed to stockholders in
connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith, except that any securities to be distributed to stockholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation
shall be valued as follows: 



        (a)  The
method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows: 



        (i)    unless
otherwise specified in a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or the
Nasdaq National Market (or a similar national quotation system), then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the thirty
(30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and 


        (ii)  if
(i) above does not apply but the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then, unless otherwise specified in a definitive
agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30) calendar day period ending three (3) trading
days prior to the distribution; and 





4





 






        (iii)  if
there is no active public market as described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, then the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 




        (b)  The
method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market
value determined as above in subparagraphs (a)(i),(ii) or (iii) of this subsection to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors. 





        4.    Voting Rights.    



        4.1    Series A Preferred Stock.    Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 below at the
record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is
solicited. 


        4.2    General.    Subject to the other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, each holder of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders'
meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect at the time in question) and applicable law, and shall be entitled to vote, together with the holders of Common Stock, with
respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, except as may be otherwise provided by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required
by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes. 


        4.3    Board of Directors Election and Removal.    



        (a)    Election of Directors.    So long as: (i) the total number of outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock is equal to or greater than 75% of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting
as a separate series, shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors of the Corporation; (ii) the total number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is equal to or
greater than 50% of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series, shall be
entitled to elect two (2) directors of the Corporation; and (iii) the total number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is equal to or greater than 25% of the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series, shall be entitled to elect one
(1) director of the Corporation. The foregoing share amounts shall be subject to proportional adjustments to reflect combinations or subdivisions of Series A Preferred Stock or dividends
declared in shares of such stock. The directors of the Corporation which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be collectively
referred to herein as the "Series A Directors." The holders of the Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect all
directors of the Corporation not entitled to be elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.3. 


        (b)    Quorum; Required Vote.    



        (i)    Quorum.    At any meeting held for the purpose of electing the Series A Directors, the presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall constitute a quorum for the election of the Series A Directors. 





5





 



        (ii)    Required Vote.    With respect to the election of the Series A Directors by the holders of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Specified Stock"), that candidate or those candidates (as
applicable) shall be elected who either: (i) in the case of any such vote conducted at a meeting of the holders of such Specified Stock, receive the highest number of affirmative votes (on an
as-converted basis) of the outstanding shares of such Specified Stock; or (ii) in the case of any such vote taken by written consent without a meeting, are elected by the written
consent of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of such Specified Stock. 




        (c)    Vacancy.    If there shall be any vacancy in the office of a Series A Director, then a director to hold
office for the unexpired term of such directorship may be elected by the required vote of holders of the shares of Specified Stock specified in Section 4.3(b)(ii) above that are entitled
to elect such director. 


        (d)    Removal.    Subject to Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, any director who shall
have been elected to the Board by the holders of Specified Stock, or by any director or directors elected by holders of Specified Stock as provided in Section 4.3, may be removed during his or
her term of office, without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of shares representing a majority of the voting power, on an as-converted basis, of all the outstanding shares of
such Specified Stock entitled to vote, given either at a meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders without a meeting, and any vacancy
created by such removal may be filled only in the manner provided in Section 4.3(c). 



        (e)    Procedures.    Any meeting of the holders of Specified Stock, and any action taken by the holders of Specified
Stock by written consent without a meeting, in order to elect or remove a director under this Section 4.3, shall be held in accordance with the procedures and provisions of the Corporation's
Bylaws, the Delaware General Corporation Law and applicable law regarding stockholder meetings and stockholder actions by written consent, as such are then in effect (including but not limited to
procedures and provisions for determining the record date for shares entitled to vote). 



        (f)    Termination.    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 to the contrary, the provisions of this
Section 4.3 shall cease to be of any further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of: (i) upon the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or
corporations if such consolidation or merger is approved by the stockholders of the Corporation in compliance with applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation in
which the holders of the Corporation's outstanding shares immediately before such consolidation or merger do not, immediately after such consolidation or merger, retain stock representing a majority
of the voting power of the surviving corporation (or its parent corporation if the surviving corporation is wholly owned by the parent corporation); or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all
of the Corporation's assets. 




        4.4    Protective Provisions.    So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
Corporation shall not, without the approval, by vote or written consent, of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a separate series: 



        (a)  amend
its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in any manner that would alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of Series A
Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect such series of Preferred Stock; 


        (b)  reclassify
any outstanding shares of securities of the Corporation into shares having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on a parity with the Series A
Preferred Stock; 




6





 





        (c)  authorize
any other equity security, including any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, having rights or preferences senior to or
being on a parity with Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend or voting rights or liquidation preferences; or 


        (d)  increase
the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. 





        5.    Conversion Rights.    The outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows: 



        5.1    Optional Conversion.    



        (a)  At
the option of the holder thereof, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time or from time to time, into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as provided herein. 


        (b)  Each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such
holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such
office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date. 




        5.2    Automatic Conversion.    



        (a)  Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, as provided herein on the
earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the date which is the ninetieth consecutive trading day on which the closing price of the Corporation's
Common Stock (as reported by a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or a similar national quotation system on which the Common Stock is then traded) equaled or exceeded $8.30 per
share, provided that the average daily trading volume calculated over such ninety day period equaled or exceeded 200,000 shares (such amounts as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations or the like, with respect to the Common Stock). 


        (b)  Upon
the occurrence of any event specified in subparagraph 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) above, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
converted into Common Stock automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the
Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to
issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are either delivered to the
Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement
satisfactory to the Corporation and/or its transfer agent to indemnify the Corporation and/or its transfer agent from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence
of such automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of any
transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock or Common 




7





 






Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates
for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred. 




        5.3    Conversion Price.    Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible in accordance with
Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 above into the number of shares of Common Stock which results from dividing the Original Issue Price for such series of Preferred Stock by the conversion price
for such series of Preferred Stock that is in effect at the time of conversion (the "Conversion Price"). The initial Conversion Price for such series of
Preferred Stock shall be the Original Issue Price for such series of Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
provided below. Following each adjustment of the Conversion Price, such adjusted Conversion Price shall remain in effect until a further adjustment of such Conversion Price hereunder. 


        5.4    Adjustment Upon Common Stock Event.    Upon the happening of a Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the
Conversion Price of Series A Preferred Stock shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price of such
series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Event by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event,
and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price for Series A Preferred Stock shall be readjusted in the same manner
upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event. As used herein, the term the "Common Stock Event" shall mean at any time or from time to time
after the Original Issue Date, (i) the issue by the Corporation of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock. 


        5.5    Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.    If at any time or from time to time after the Original
Issue Date the Corporation pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders of the Common Stock payable in securities of the Corporation, other than an event constituting a Common Stock
Event, then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common
Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they would have received had their Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the
date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the conversion
date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights
of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities by their terms. 


        5.6    Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.    If at any time or from time to time after the
Original Issue Date the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock,
whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than by a Common Stock Event or a stock dividend, reorganization, merger, or
consolidation provided for elsewhere in this Section 5), then in any such event each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right 



8





 





thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number
of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to
further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof. 


        5.7    Reorganizations, Mergers and Consolidations.    If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date there is a reorganization of the Corporation (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) or a
merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation (except an event which is governed under Section 3.3), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger or
consolidation, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock thereafter shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
number of shares of stock or other securities or
property of the Corporation, or of such successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been
entitled on such reorganization, merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the
rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger or consolidation to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price
then in effect and number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be
practicable. This Section 5.7 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers and consolidations. 


        5.8    Sale of Shares Below Conversion Price.    



        (a)    Adjustment Formula.    If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Corporation issues
or sells, or is deemed by the provisions of this Section 5.8 to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), otherwise than in connection with a Common Stock
Event as provided in Section 5.4, a dividend or distribution as provided in Section 5.5 or a recapitalization, reclassification or other change as provided in Section 5.6, or a
reorganization, merger or consolidation as provided in section 5.7, for an Effective Price (as hereinafter defined) that is less than the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred
Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, as of the
close of business on the date of such issue or sale, to the price obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction: 



        (i)    The
numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such issue or sale
of Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Consideration Received (as hereinafter defined) by the Corporation for the total number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold (or deemed so issued and sold) by the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale; and 


        (ii)  The
denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (B) the
number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold (or deemed so issued and sold). 




Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, in no event shall the Conversion Price for Series A Preferred Stock be reduced pursuant to this Section 5.8 to below the closing price of 




9





 



the Corporation's Common Stock on January 30, 2002 as reported by the Nasdaq National Market (such price as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like, with
respect to Common Stock). 


        (b)    Certain Definitions.    For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 5.8: 



        (i)    The
"Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation, or deemed issued
as provided in Section 5.8(c) below, whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation, other than: 



        (A)  shares
of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; 


        (B)  any
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or issued hereafter to employees, officers, directors, contractors,
consultants or advisers to, the Corporation or any Subsidiary pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements
approved by the Board of Directors; 


        (C)  any
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock or Preferred Stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued to parties that are (i) strategic partners investing
in connection with a commercial relationship with the Corporation or (ii) providing the Corporation with equipment leases, real property leases, loans, credit lines, guaranties of indebtedness,
cash price reductions or similar transactions, under arrangements, in each case, approved by the Board of Directors; 



        (D)  shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Corporation by consolidation, merger, purchase of
all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Corporation acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of
such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity;
provided that such transaction or series of transactions has been approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors or pursuant to the purchase of less than a fifty percent (50%) equity ownership in
connection with a joint venture or other strategic arrangement or other commercial relationship, provided such an arrangement is approved by the Board of Directors; 


        (E)  shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding as of the date
of this Certificate of Amendment and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof; 


        (F)  shares
of Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Section 5.4 hereof; and 


        (G)  any
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (or options, or warrants or rights to acquire same), issued or issuable hereafter that are unanimously approved by the
Board as being excluded from the definition of "Additional Shares of Common Stock" under this subsection 5.8(b)(i). 




        (ii)  The
"Aggregate Consideration Received" by the Corporation for any issue or sale (or deemed issue or sale) of securities
shall (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received by the Corporation before deduction of 





10





 




any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the
Corporation; (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and (C) if
Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Rights or Options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other
stock or securities or other assets of the Corporation for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good
faith by the Board to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Rights or Options. 


        (iii)  The
"Common Stock Equivalents Outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the sum of
(A) all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation that are outstanding at the time in question, plus (B) all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of all
shares of Preferred Stock or other Convertible Securities that are outstanding at the time in question, plus (C) all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation that are issuable upon the
exercise of Rights or Options that are outstanding at the time in question assuming the full conversion or exchange into Common Stock of all such Rights or Options that are Rights or Options to
purchase or acquire Convertible Securities into or for Common Stock. 


        (iv)  The
"Convertible Securities" shall mean stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock. 


        (v)  The
"Effective Price" of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the total
number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold, by the Corporation under this Section 5.8, into the Aggregate Consideration Received, or
deemed to have been received, by the Corporation under this Section 5.8, for the issue of such Additional Shares of Common Stock; and 


        (vi)  The
"Rights or Options" shall mean warrants, options or other rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities. 




        (c)    Deemed Issuances.    For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price of Series A
Preferred Stock required under this Section 5.8, if the Corporation issues or sells any Rights or Options or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Rights or Options and/or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (computed without reference to any additional or similar protective or antidilution
clauses) is less than the Conversion Price then in effect for a series of Preferred Stock, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued, at the time of the issuance of such Rights, Options or
Convertible Securities, that number of Additional Shares of Common Stock that is equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Rights, Options or
Convertible Securities upon their issuance and to have received, as the Aggregate Consideration Received for the issuance of such shares, an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if
any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such Rights or Options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any,
payable to the Corporation upon the exercise in full of such Rights or Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the 




11





 



Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion or exchange thereof; provided
that: 



        (i)    if
the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, then the Corporation shall be
deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses; 


        (ii)  if
the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities is
reduced over time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution or similar protective adjustments, then the Effective Price shall be
recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; and 



        (iii)  if
the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities
is subsequently increased, then the Effective Price shall again be recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Rights or
Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. 






No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price, adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of shares of Common
Stock on the exercise of any such Rights or Options or the conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Securities. If any such Rights or Options or the conversion rights represented by any such
Convertible Securities shall expire without having been fully exercised, then the Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such Rights or Options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted
to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only shares of Common Stock so issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, that were
actually issued or sold on the exercise of such Rights or Options or rights of conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, and such shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually
received by the Corporation for the granting of all such Rights or Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling all such Convertible Securities actually
converted or exchanged, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Preferred Stock. 



        5.9    Certificate of Adjustment.    In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price for the
Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation, at its expense, shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and
prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of the Series A Preferred Stock
at the holder's address as shown in the Corporation's books. 


        5.10    Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay the holder cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the closing price of the Corporation's Common Stock (as reported by a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or a similar national quotation system on which the
Common Stock is then traded) on the date of conversion. 



12





 




        5.11    Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.    The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares
of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the
opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. 



        5.12    Notices.    Any notice required by the provisions of these Certificate of Incorporation to be given to the
holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or three business days after deposit in the United States mail, by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or delivery by a recognized express courier, fees prepaid, addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the
books of the Corporation. 


        5.13    No Impairment.    The Corporation shall not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment. 




        6.    Miscellaneous.    



        6.1    No Reissuance of Preferred Stock.    No share or shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by
reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to
issue. 


        6.2    Preemptive Rights.    No stockholder of the Corporation shall have a right to purchase shares of capital stock
of the Corporation sold or issued by the Corporation except to the extent that such a right may from time to time be set forth in a written agreement between the Corporation and a stockholder. 


        6.3    Preferred Stock Written Consent.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation,
with respect to matters involving only the Preferred Stock and the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock may
take action without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of majority of the
Preferred Stock then outstanding. 




        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, said corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed by its duly authorized officer
this                        , 2002 and the foregoing facts stated herein
are true and correct.

Warrant in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on any business day before the Expiration Date, for up to that number of shares of Warrant Stock that is obtained by dividing
(a) the Purchase Amount by (b) the then effective Warrant Price, by surrendering this Warrant at the principal offices of the Company, with the subscription form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder, and payment of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased by the Holder by (ii) the Warrant

fractions shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. If upon any exercise of this Warrant a fraction of a share results, the Company will pay the cash value of any such fractional
share, calculated on the basis of the Warrant Price. 



        2.5    Restrictions on Exercise.    This Warrant may not be exercised if the issuance of the Warrant Stock upon such
exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute the
subscription form attached hereto, confirming and acknowledging that the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of
this date of exercise. 


        2.6    Net Issue Election.    The Holder may elect to convert this Warrant, without the payment by the Holder of any
additional consideration, into shares of Warrant Stock having a value equal to the Purchase Amount or any portion thereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net
issue election selected in the subscription form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder, at the principal offices of the Company. Thereupon, the Company will issue to the Holder such number of
shares of Warrant Stock as is computed using the following formula:

Y = the number of shares covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6.
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

A = the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors, as at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6.
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

B = the Warrant Price in effect at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 2.6.





        The
Company's Board of Directors will promptly respond in writing to an inquiry by the Holder as to the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock. 


        3.    Issuance of Stock.    



        3.1  This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the
person entitled to receive the shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on such date. In
the event of any exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, the Company shall promptly following the date of its receipt of the exercise notice, the Purchase Amount (or notice of a Net Exercise) and this Warrant (or an
indemnification undertaking or other form of security reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) (the "Exercise Delivery
Documents"), (1) in the case of a public resale of such Warrant Stock, at the holder's request, credit such aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to
the holder's or its designee's balance account with the Depositary Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (2) issue and deliver to the address as
specified in the exercise notice, a certificate or certificates in such denominations as may be requested by the holder in the exercise notice, registered in the name of the holder or its 



3





 


designee, for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which the holder shall be entitled upon such exercise. Upon delivery of the exercise notice, this Warrant and Purchase Amount or notification to
the Company of a Net Exercise, the holder of this Warrant shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant has
been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Stock. 


        3.2  In
the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Warrant Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Warrant Stock, the Company shall promptly
issue to the holder the number of shares of Warrant Stock that is not disputed and shall promptly submit the disputed determination or arithmetic calculation to the holder via facsimile. If the holder
and the Company are unable to promptly agree upon the determination of the Warrant Price or arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Warrant Stock, then the Company shall immediately submit
via facsimile (x) the disputed determination of the Warrant Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm selected jointly by the Company and the holder, or (y) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Warrant Stock to its independent, outside auditor. The Company shall cause the investment banking firm or the auditor, as the case may be, to promptly
perform the determination or calculation and notify the Company and the holder of the results. Such investment banking firm's or auditor's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be
deemed conclusive absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of such determinations shall be borne solely by the Company. 




        4.    Adjustment Provisions.    The number and character of shares of
Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property at the time receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Warrant Price
therefor, are subject to adjustment solely upon the occurrence of the following events: 



        4.1    Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc.    The Warrant Price of this Warrant and the number of
shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall each be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares or other
similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities) that occurs after the date of the Warrant. 



        4.2    Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions.    In case the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a
record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution payable respect to the Warrant Stock that is payable in securities of the Company (other than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Section 4.1), then, and in
each such case, the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date of such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock
issuable upon such exercise prior to such date, the securities or such other assets of the Company to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant
immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant). 


        4.3    Adjustment for Reorganization or Recapitalization.    After the date of this Warrant, in case of any
reorganization or recapitalization of the Company (or of any other corporation, the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant), other than
transactions described in Section 1.2 above, then the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant (as provided in Section 2), at any time after the consummation of such reorganization or
recapitalization, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other
securities or property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such reorganization or recapitalization if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior 



4





 





thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4, and the successor or purchasing corporation in such reorganization or recapitalization (if other than the Company)
shall duly execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation's obligations under this Warrant; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable
to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization or recapitalization. 


        4.4    Conversion of Stock.    In case all the authorized Warrant Stock of the Company is converted, pursuant to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, into Common Stock or other securities or property, or the Warrant Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant
at any time after the date on which the Warrant Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the "Termination Date"), shall receive, in lieu of the number
of shares of Warrant Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date (the "Former Number of Shares of Warrant
Stock"), the stock and other securities and property to which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the Termination Date if the Holder had exercised this Warrant
with respect to the Former Number of Shares of Warrant Stock immediately prior to the Termination Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant). 



        4.5    Notice of Adjustments.    The Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The notice shall describe the adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable
detail the facts on which the adjustment or readjustment is based. 


        4.6    No Change Necessary.    The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant
Price or in the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon its exercise. 



        4.7    Reservation of Stock.    If at any time the number of shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Warrant Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as shall be sufficient for such purpose. 




        5.    Covenants.    The Company hereby covenants and agrees as
follows: 



        5.1    Issuance of Warrants and Warrant Stock.    This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or
replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, and shall
not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company. All Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
issuance and payment hereof or net exercise in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or
through the Company with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Warrant Stock. 


        5.2    Reservation of Shares.    During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of
(a) Common Stock needed to provide for the conversion of the Warrant Stock, and (b) Warrant Stock needed to provide for the exercise of all of the Warrants, without regard to any
limitations on conversions or exercise.

        5.3    Listing.    The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Warrant Stock upon each national securities exchange or market and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed and shall maintain, so long
as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall list on each such
exchange or market or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if
and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such exchange or market or automated quotation system. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its
obligations under this Section 5.3. 


        5.4    Certain Actions.    The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation (the "Charter") or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Price then in effect,
(ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Warrant Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable after the action
upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Warrant Stock then authorized by the Charter and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise. 


        5.5    Obligations Binding on Successors.    This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company in
one or a series of transactions by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other similar transactions. 




        6.    Taxes.    The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp,
transfer and other similar taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. 


        7.    Ownership and Transfer.    



        7.1  The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a
register for this Warrant (the "Warrant Register"), in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of
each transferee. The Company may treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the Warrant Register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant. 


        7.2  Subject
to restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be assignable and transferable by
the holder hereof without the consent of the Company upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment at the principal executive offices of the Company (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate in writing to the holder hereof). 


        7.3  The
Company is obligated to register the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Stock for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Investors Rights
Agreement. The shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall constitute Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in the Investors Rights Agreement). Each holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a holder of any such Registrable Securities under the Investors Rights Agreement and such holder, by its acceptance of this 



6





 





Warrant, agrees and shall agree to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of the Investors Rights Agreement applicable to such holder as a holder of such Registrable Securities. 




        8.    Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.    If
any of the following events occur, namely (a) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (b) any statutory exchange, as a result of which holders of Common
Stock generally shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (such transaction, a "Statutory
Exchange"), (c) the closing of any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (other than as a result of a change in name, a change in par value or a change in the
jurisdiction of incorporation), (d) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or (e) the closing of any sale or conveyance of the
properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person (each of the events described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), a "Special
Event"), as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,
then the Warrant shall be deemed exercised immediately prior to such Special Event, and such shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed converted to Common Stock immediately
prior to such Special Event. 


        9.    Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.    In case: 



        (a)  the
Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; 


        (b)  the
Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights
or warrants; or 


        (c)  of
any Special Event; 


        the
Company shall mail to each holder of Warrants at its address appearing on the Warrant Register as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) days prior to the
applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such Special
Event is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such Special Event. 




        10.    Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants.    If this
Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking or other form of security reasonably acceptable to the Company (or in the case
of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Warrant is lost
by, stolen from or destroyed by the original holder hereof, the affidavit of such original holder setting forth the circumstances of such loss, theft or destruction shall be accepted as satisfactory
evidence thereof, and no indemnification bond or other security shall be required by the Company as a condition to the execution and delivery by the Company of a new Warrant to such original holder
other than such original holder's unsecured written agreement to indemnify the Company solely for losses actually incurred by the Company as a direct consequence of the loss, theft or destruction of
the Warrant. 


        11    No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder.    This Warrant does
not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Warrant Stock by exercise of this
Warrant, no provisions of this Warrant, 


7





 




and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall cause the Holder to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose. 


        12.    No Impairment.    The Company will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against wrongful impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may duly and validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Warrant Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 


        13.    Attorneys' Fees.    In the event any party is required to
engage the services of any attorneys for the purpose of enforcing this Warrant, or any provision thereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses and costs in
enforcing this Warrant, including attorneys' fees. 


        14.    Transfer.    Neither this Warrant nor any rights hereunder may
be assigned, conveyed or transferred, in whole or in part, without the Company's prior written consent, which the Company may withhold in its sole discretion. 


        15.    Governing Law.    This Warrant shall be governed in all
respects by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. The parties hereto
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Northern District of California. 


        16.    Headings.    The headings and captions used in this Warrant are
used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant. All references in this Warrant to sections and exhibits shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to
sections hereof and exhibits attached hereto, all of which exhibits are incorporated herein by this reference. 



        17.    Notices.    Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or
permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified or upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the party to be notified at the address indicated for such party on Exhibit A to
Purchase Agreement or, in the case of the Company, at the principal offices of the Company, or at such other address as any party or the Company may designate by giving ten (10) days' advance
written notice to all other parties. 


        18.    Amendment; Waiver.    Any term of this Warrant may be amended,
and the observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and
the holders of Warrants representing at least a majority of the aggregate shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of all the Warrants at the time outstanding (and such majority shall include
Asia Pacific Growth Fund, III, L.P., Vertex Technology Fund (II) Ltd. and Vertex Technology Fund (III) Ltd.). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be
binding upon the Company, each holder of any Notes at the time outstanding, each future holder of such securities, and the Company. 


        19.    Severability.    If one or more provisions of this Warrant are
held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision(s) shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and
shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

        20.    Terms Binding.    By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder
accepts and agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

Exhibit F


                                    ,
2002 


        To
each of the investors (the "Investors") named in the Schedule of Investors attached as  Exhibit A to the Amended and Restated Series A
Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated                        , 2002 (the
"Agreement") among the Investors and GRIC Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"). 


Ladies
and Gentlemen: 


        We
have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company to the Investors pursuant to the Agreement of up to 10,240,964 shares (the
"Purchased Shares") of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Stock") and
warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 2,560,241 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of Series A
Stock. This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated in this letter, which includes Attachment A  hereto, all capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings given to those terms in the Agreement. As used herein "Conversion
Shares" shall mean shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Purchased Shares or Warrant Shares. 


        In
order to render this opinion we have examined such questions of law as we deem advisable under the circumstances. As to questions of fact, we have relied solely upon our examination
of the documents referred to on Attachment A and our actual knowledge. We have not examined any document other than those described on  Attachment A or made
any independent factual investigation. No bring-down certificate, telegram or telephonic advice of the public officials
referred to on Attachment A were obtained as of the date hereof, nor, except as described on Attachment
A, have we caused the search of any docket of any court, tribunal, agency or similar authority or any other record of any governmental agency or third party. 


        In
our examination of documents referred to on Attachment A, we have assumed the current accuracy and completeness of (a) the
information obtained from public officials and records included in the documents referred to on Attachment A, and (b) the representations and
warranties made by representatives of the Company to us, including without limitation, those set forth in the Management Certificate. We have also assumed that all the representations and warranties
made by the Company
and the Investors in, or pursuant to, any of the Closing Agreements to which the Company or any Investor is a party or any Closing Documents provided by any such person or entity are, accurate and
complete in all material respects. We have made no attempt to verify the accuracy of any of such information, representations or warranties or to determine the existence or non-existence
of any factual matters other than those described above; however, we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause us to believe that any
of the opinions expressed herein are not accurate. 


        In
our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, and express no opinion as to, (a) the genuineness of all signatures on original documents,
(b) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, (c) the conformity to originals and completeness of all documents submitted to us as copies,
(d) the lack of any undisclosed termination, modification, waiver or amendment to any document reviewed by us, (e) the legal competence or capacity of all persons or entities (other than
the Company) executing the same and (f) except with respect to due authorization, execution and delivery of the Closing Agreements by the Company and the due authorization by the Company of the
Certificate of Amendment, the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof. 


        For
the purposes of this opinion, we have also assumed that: (a) the Investors have fully paid all required consideration for the Purchased Shares to the Company as provided in
the Agreement and have fully performed all the other obligations that they are to perform at or before the Closing; (b) each Investor has all requisite power and authority and, if an entity, is
in good standing in the jurisdiction of its formation; (c) each Investor has taken any and all corporate, partnership or other action necessary for the due authorization by such Investor of the
execution, delivery and performance 





 




of all such Investor's obligations under the Closing Agreements; and (c) each of the Closing Agreements is duly enforceable in accordance with its respective terms against, and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligations of, each of the parties thereto other than the Company. 


        As
used in this opinion, the phrases "our actual knowledge," "to our knowledge," "we are not aware," "known to us" or words of similar import refer only to the actual knowledge of the
attorneys currently in this firm who have rendered legal services to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Closing Agreements and mean that, while we have made no
investigation of the matters stated other than our examination of documents referred to on Attachment A, such attorneys do not have actual
knowledge that such matters are factually incorrect. No inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation
of the Company. 


        Where
statements in this opinion regarding an effect on, or matters relating to, the Company 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's business, assets or financial condition, taken as a whole, which are entirely those of the Company and its officers, after having
been advised by us as to the legal effect and consequences of such matters; however, such opinions and judgments are not known to us to be incorrect. 


        As
to the enforceability of the Closing Agreements, this opinion is qualified by, and is subject to, and we render no opinion with respect to: 



        (a)  the
effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors generally; and 


        (b)  the
effect of general principles of equity and similar principles, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, public policy and
unconscionability and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 




        We
draw your attention to and we render no opinion with respect to: (a) the enforceability of the indemnification and contribution provisions of the Rights Agreement;
(b) compliance or noncompliance with antifraud provisions of applicable state and federal statutes, rules and regulations concerning the issuance and sale of securities; and (c) the
effect any breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company's Board of Directors or principal stockholders in connection with the Board's approval of, or the principal stockholders' approval of or
participation in, the transactions contemplated by the Closing Agreements would have on the enforceability thereof. 


        In
rendering the opinion expressed in paragraph 1 below regarding the good standing of the Company and the Company's qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in the
State of California, we have relied solely on the certification of the Company's good standing set forth in the Certificates of Good Standing described on  Attachment A. 



        In
rendering the opinion expressed in paragraphs 5 and 6 below, we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the Company to the Investors in connection
with such offer and sale. We have also relied upon the Investors' representations in the Closing Agreements, and the Company's representations to us as to factual matters in the Management
Certificate, including, without limitation that, the Company has made no offer to sell the Purchased Shares or Warrant Shares by means of any "general solicitation" (as defined in Regulation D
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or the "publication of any advertisement" (as defined under the California Corporate Securities Act of 1968, as amended, and the regulations thereunder)
and that no offer or sale of the Purchased Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares has been made or will be made in any state or jurisdiction other than the State of California and the countries of
Singapore and the Cayman Islands. 


2





 



        We
are admitted to practice law in the State of California, and our opinion is only with respect to the existing laws of the State of California, the existing Delaware General
Corporation Law without reference to case law or secondary sources and the existing federal laws of the United States of America. Special rulings of such authorities or opinions of other counsel have
not been sought or obtained by us in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Closing Agreements. Our opinion is limited to such California state and United States federal statutes, laws,
rules or regulations and provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law as in our experience are of general application to transactions of the sort provided for in the Closing Agreements. Without
limiting the foregoing, we express no opinion regarding the laws of Singapore or the Cayman Islands. 


        To
the extent that any of the documents reviewed by us in connection with this opinion other than the Closing Agreements are governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State
of California, the United States federal law or the Delaware General Corporation Law as described above, our opinion relating to those documents is based on the assumption that the laws of such other
jurisdictions are the same as the relevant laws of California and that the choice of law provisions selecting the laws of such other jurisdictions as the governing law of such documents would be given
effect. Since we are admitted to practice law in the State of California, we express no opinion as to whether or not the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California, the United States
federal law or the Delaware General Corporation Law as described above, are applicable to the such documents. 


        We
also call your attention to the fact that under various reports published by committees of the State Bar of California under the 1989 Report of the Committee
on Corporations of the Business Law Section of the State Bar of California Regarding Legal Opinions in Business Transactions (August 1989), certain assumptions,
qualifications and exceptions are implicit in opinions of lawyers. Although we have expressly set forth some assumptions, qualifications and exceptions herein, we are not limiting or omitting any
others set forth in the various reports or otherwise deemed standard practice for lawyers in California. 


        Based
upon the foregoing, subject to the assumptions and qualifications referred to herein and except as may be otherwise set forth in the Company's Disclosure Letter, the following are
our opinions as of immediately prior to the Closing. 


        l.      The
Company has been duly incorporated and organized, and is validly existing in good standing, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in good standing in the State of California. 


        2.    The
Certificate of Amendment and the Closing Agreements have been duly adopted and authorized, respectively, by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.
The Closing Agreements have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and delivered by the Company to the Investors. Each of the Closing Agreements constitutes the valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. 



        3.    The
execution and delivery of the Closing Agreements by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Closing Agreements do not conflict
with, or result in a violation of, (a) the Restated Certificate, Certificate of Amendment or Bylaws, (b) to our knowledge and except as would not have a material adverse effect (as
defined in the Agreement) on the Company, any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbitrator to which the Company is a party, or (c) any agreement binding on the Company that has been
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an exhibit to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (the "2000 Form 10-K") or as an exhibit to any report filed by the Company with
the SEC prior to the Closing pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") subsequent to the date of filing of the
original 2000 Form 10-K or any agreement binding on the Company of which we are aware and which is required to be filed as an exhibit to any report required to be filed by the
Company with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act 


3





 




(collectively, the "Material Agreements"), which would have a material adverse effect (as defined in the Agreement) on the Company. 


        4.    The
Purchased Shares, when issued and paid for at the Closing as provided in the Agreement, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The
Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for upon exercise of the Warrants as provided in the Warrants, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Warrant Shares have
been duly and validly reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants. The Conversion Shares have been duly and validly reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Purchased Shares and Warrant
Shares. Assuming no change in applicable law or the Restated Certificate or Certificate of Amendment, the Conversion Shares, when issued upon conversion in accordance with the Restated Certificate and
Certificate of Amendment, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 


        5.    The
offer and sale of the Purchased Shares and the Warrants to the Investors in accordance with the Agreement, and (assuming no change in currently applicable law) the
issuance of the Conversion Shares solely to Investors pursuant to the Restated Certificate and Certificate of Amendment for no additional consideration other than the surrender of the converted
Purchased Shares, the issuance of Warrant Shares solely to Investors for no additional consideration other than that set forth in the Warrants, and the issuance of Conversion Shares solely to
Investors pursuant to the Restated Certificate and Certificate of Amendment for no additional consideration other than the surrender of the converted Warrant Shares, are, and in the case of each such
issuance of Conversion Shares will be, exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act and the securities registration requirements of the
currently effective provisions of the securities laws of the State of California. 


        6.    No
consent or approval of, or other action by or filing with, any court or administrative or governmental body that has not been obtained, taken or made is required under
United States federal or California State law or the Delaware General Corporation Law, for the Company to execute and deliver the Closing Agreements and to consummate the transactions provided for
therein to be performed as of the Closing, except such as have been obtained or made, and except for (a) the filing of such reports and information with the SEC under the Exchange Act, and the
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, as may be required in connection with the Closing Agreements and the transactions provided for therein and (b) notices to be filed by
the Company pursuant to the presently effective securities laws of the State of California, which notices are to be filed after the Closing. 


        7.    We
are not aware that there is any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency or instrumentality to which the Company is subject
which questions the validity of the Closing Agreements or any action to be taken by the Company in connection therewith, nor are we aware of any litigation pending against the Company, or that the
Company has received any overt written threat thereof, which, if determined adversely, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's finances or business. 


        In
rendering the opinions above, we are opining only as to the specific legal issues expressly set forth herein, and no opinion shall be inferred as to other matters. This opinion is
intended solely for the Investors' use for the purpose of the above transaction, and is not to be made available to, or relied upon for, any other purpose or by any other person or entity, without our
prior written consent. We assume no obligation to advise you of any fact, circumstance, event or change in the law or the 


4





 




facts that may hereafter be brought to our attention whether or not such occurrence would affect or modify the opinions expressed herein. 



	

 	
 	

Very truly yours,
