in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or
otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is
the Company aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing
includes, without limitation, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations
pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to the Company) involving the
prior employment of any of the Company's employees, their use in connection with
the Company's business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to
any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with
prior employers. The Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the
Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate.

          2.9   Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements. Each employee
                -------------------------------------------------
and officer of the Company, and each consultant who has had access to
confidential or proprietary information of the Company, has executed a
Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. The Company is not aware that
any of its employees, officers or consultants are in violation thereof, and the
Company will use its best efforts to prevent any such violation.

          2.10  Patents and Trademarks. The Company has sufficient title and
                ----------------------
ownership of or licenses to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, trade secrets, information, proprietary rights and processes
necessary for its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted
without any violation or infringement of the rights of others, except for

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

such items as have yet to be conceived or developed or that are expected to be
available for licensing on reasonable terms from third parties. The Company has
no patents or pending patent applications. There are no outstanding options,
licenses, or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the
Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind
with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
trade secrets, licenses, information, proprietary rights and processes of any
other person or entity. The Company has not received any communications alleging
that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would
violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights
or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity. The
Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract
(including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement,
or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative
agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to promote
the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company's business
as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this
Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, nor the carrying on of the Company's
business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's
business as proposed, will, to the best of the Company's knowledge, conflict
with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any
of such employees is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is necessary
to utilize any inventions of any of its employees (or people it currently
intends to hire) made prior to or outside the scope of their employment by the
Company. To the best knowledge of the Company, all data, information, ideas,
concepts, know-how and materials that the Company treats as trade secrets, and
all other confidential information and intellectual property rights of the
Company, are not part of the public domain or knowledge, nor, to the best
knowledge of the Company, have they been used, divulged or appropriated for the
benefit of any person other than the Company or otherwise to the detriment of
the Company.

          2.11  Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in
                ---------------------------------
violation or default of any provision of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws, or
of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a
party or by which it is bound. The Company has complied in all material respects
with all federal, state, local or foreign statutes, rules and regulations and
orders applicable to the Company, except where the failure to comply would not
have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or financial
condition of the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation or be in
conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of
notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order,
writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of any lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit,
license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or
operations or any of its assets or properties.

          2.12  Agreements; Action.
                ------------------

                -------

                -------------
delivered to each Investor in connection with the sale and issuance of Series D
Preferred Stock, has been prepared in good faith by the Company and does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor does it omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading,
except that with respect to projections contained in the Business Plan, the
Company represents only that such projections were prepared in good faith and
that the Company reasonably believes there is a reasonable basis for such
projections.

          2.19  Registration Rights. Except as provided in the Amended and
                -------------------
Restated Investors' Rights Agreement, the Company has not granted or agreed to

Investors its unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and statement of
operations) as at and for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the two-month
period ended February 28, 1999 (the "Financial Statements"). The Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby,
except for the absence of footnotes. The Financial Statements fairly present the
financial condition and operating results of the Company as of the dates, and
for the periods, indicated therein, subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, the Company has no
material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to February 28, 1999 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, in both cases, individually or
in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating
results of the Company. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, the
Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other
person, firm or corporation. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain
a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with

the ordinary course of business that have not been, in the aggregate, materially
adverse.

          2.24  Employee Benefit Plans. The Company does not have any Employee
                ----------------------
Benefit Plan as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

          2.25  Tax Returns, Payments and Elections. The Company has filed all
                -----------------------------------
tax returns and reports (including information returns and reports) as required
by law. These returns and reports are true and correct in all material respects.
The Company has paid all taxes and other assessments due, except those contested
by it in good faith that are listed in the Schedule of Exceptions. The provision
for taxes of the Company as shown in the Financial Statements is 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 Subchapter S corporation pursuant to Section 1362(a) of the Code,
nor has it made an election pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code, nor has it
made any other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections that relate
solely to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) that would have a
material effect on the Company, its financial condition, its business as
presently conducted or proposed to be conducted or any of its properties or
material assets. The Company has never had any tax deficiency proposed or
assessed against it and has not executed any waiver of any statute of
limitations on the assessment or collection of any tax or governmental charge.
None of the Company's federal income tax returns and none of its state income or
franchise tax or sales or use tax returns has ever been audited by governmental
authorities. Since the date of the Financial Statements, the Company has not
incurred any taxes, assessments or governmental charges other than in the
ordinary course of business and the Company has made adequate provisions on its
books of account for all taxes, assessments and governmental charges with
respect to its business, properties and operations for such period. The Company
has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees, the
amount of all taxes (including, but not limited to, federal income taxes,
Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes)
required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the
proper tax receiving officers or authorized depositories. The Company is not
party to any contract, arrangement or understanding that could obligate the
Company to make a payment to an individual that would be a "parachute payment"
to a "disqualified individual," as those terms are defined in Section 280G of
the Code, without regard to whether such payment might constitute reasonable
compensation for personal services performed or to be performed in the future.

          2.26  Insurance. The Company has in full force and effect fire and
                ---------

that might be damaged or destroyed. The Company has in full force and effect
products liability and errors and omissions insurance in amounts customary for
companies similarly situated.

          2.27  Minutes. The minutes of the Company provided to the Investors
                -------
contain a complete summary of all meetings of directors and stockholders since
the time of incorporation and reflect all transactions referred to in such
minutes accurately in all material respects.

          2.28  Labor Agreements and Actions; Employee Compensation. The
                ---------------------------------------------------
Company is not bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is
bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract,
commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested
or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, has sought to

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of the Company. There
is no strike or other labor dispute involving the Company pending, or to the
best of the Company's knowledge, threatened, that could have a material adverse
effect on the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results, or
business of the Company (as such business is presently conducted and as it is
proposed to be conducted), nor is the Company aware of any labor organization
activity involving its employees. The Company is not aware that any officer or
key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to terminate their
employment with the Company, nor does the Company have a present intention to
terminate the employment of any of the foregoing. The employment of each officer
and employee of the Company is terminable at the will of the Company. To the
best of its knowledge, the Company has complied in all material respects with
all applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity and other laws
related to employment. The Company is not a party to or bound by any currently
effective employment contract, deferred compensation agreement, bonus plan,
incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement, or other employee
compensation agreement.

                -----------------------

Common Stock have timely filed or will timely file elections under Section 83(b)
of the Code and any analogous provisions of applicable state tax laws.

                -----------------------------
has not been during the prior five years, a United States real property holding
corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code and the Company has
filed with the Internal Revenue Service all statements, if any, with its United
States income tax returns which are required under Section 1.897-2(h) of the
Treasury Regulations.

          2.31  Net Operating Loss Carryforward. The information contained in
                -------------------------------
the Schedule of Exceptions or otherwise provided to counsel for the Investors
regarding the application of Section 382 of the Code to the Company's federal
net operating loss carryforward is true and correct to the best of the Company's
knowledge.

          2.32  Brokers. The Company has no contract, arrangement or

understanding with any broker, finder or similar agent with respect to the

not have made any purchases of its own stock during the one-year period
proceeding the Funding having an aggregate value exceeding 5% of the aggregate
value of all its stock as of the beginning of such period and (iii) the
Company's aggregate gross assets, as defined by Code Section 1202(d)(2), at no
time through the Funding have exceeded or will exceed $50 million, taking into
account the assets of any corporations required to be aggregated with the
Company in accordance with Code Section 1202(d)(3).

                ---------
recording, storing, processing, calculating and displaying calendar dates

data integrity, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse affect on the assets, properties, financial
condition, operating results or business of the Company. The foregoing does not
constitute a warranty or representation that the Company's software will be
capable of recording, storing, processing, calculating and displaying correct
calendar dates based on software supplied by or licensed from any party other
than the Company, or that the Company's software will properly interact with
such third party software.

under the Securities Act) who have not invested under this Agreement and
employees, directors and consultants of the Company, except for offers,
solicitations or other actions that would not, under applicable law, be
integrated with the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock hereunder.

          3.    Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor
                -----------------------------------------------
hereby represents and warrants to the Company, for each Investor itself and only
for itself, that:

          3.1   Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to
                -------------
enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and each such Agreement
constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance
with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable
remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in
the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement may be limited by
applicable federal or state securities laws.

          3.2   Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
                ---------------------------------
such Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company,
which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
confirms, that the Series D Preferred Stock to be received by such Investor and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock
(collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired for investment for such
Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further
represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

          3.3   Disclosure of Information. Such Investor represents that it has
                -------------------------
had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

conditions of the offering of the Series D Preferred Stock, and the business,
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing,
however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely
thereon.

          3.4   Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in
                ---------------------
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Series D
Preferred Stock. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it
has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Series D Preferred
Stock.

          3.5   Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
                -------------------
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of

          3.6   Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
                ---------------------
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such
Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

          3.7   Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting
                ----------------------------------
the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make
any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by
this Section 3 and the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement provided
and to the extent this Section and such agreement are then applicable, and:

                (a)  There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the
Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such Registration Statement; or

                (b)  (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that
such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It
is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions
made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

                (c)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
for a transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such
partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date
hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer
by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to
the siblings, lineal

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the transferee
agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he
or she were an original Investor hereunder.

          3.8   Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
                -------
Series D Preferred Stock and the Common Shares may bear the following legend:

     "These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of
     1933, as amended, or any state securities laws. They may not be sold,
     offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration
     statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act and any
     applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an opinion of counsel
     satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required or
     unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act."
