|Due Diligence:                    |  | ZVP to conduct and complete due diligence, reasonably satisfactory to ZVP, by (i) December 1, 2000 for purposes of exercising its option to fund the second and third tranches of the bridge loan and (ii) January 31, 2001 for purposes of submitting a

|Repayment in Cash
or by Exchange: |  | At the Maturity Date the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Notes (the "Debt"), the Borrower shall repay the Debt to the Lenders by exchanging the Debt for a number of Series A Convertible Preferred ("Series A") shares (or, if no
Series A shares are offered, an equivalent number of other equity securities offered) which number shall equal the quotient of i) the Debt, divided by ii) the product of the lowest price per share for which shares are sold at the Next Round times .80
(the "conversion formula"). In the event ZVP does not lead the Next Round and the Next Round does not close on or before July 1, 2001, ZVP at its option may require that the Debt be repaid in immediately available funds pursuant to the terms of the
Note.

Note and require Borrower to repay the Debt. For purposes hereof, Liquidity Event shall include a merger, consolidation, sale, disposition, dissolution or related transaction resulting in a sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of
the Borrower.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|Closing Conditions:  |  | On or before the Closing Date, each person with a right to purchase securities in the Company, whether such right arises from a subscription agreement or other instrument (including a certain Common Stock Purchase Right Agreement, dated as of January,
 2000 (the "Rights Agreement")) shall have exercised, committed to exercise or waived such right. For purposes of the initial funding of the Facility by "other Participants," any exercise pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied toward the
initial $200,000 tranche. In addition, on or before the Closing Date each such person shall indicate their understanding that any waiver of one's right under any such subscription agreement, pre-emptive right or related anti-dilution protection,
including the Rights Agreement, shall constitute a waiver of such person's right to participate in the Next Round on a preferential pre-emptive basis.
