               1.1 Purchase of Shares. On the Effective Date and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Employment Agreement between
Purchaser and the Company, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT"), Purchaser hereby purchases from the Company, and the Company hereby
sells to Purchaser, the Total Number of Shares set forth above (the "SHARES") of
its Common Stock at the Purchase Price Per Share set forth above (the "PURCHASE

the Shares, (ii) as a result of stock dividends or stock splits with respect to
the Shares, and (iii) in replacement of the Shares in a merger,
recapitalization, reorganization or similar corporate transaction.

               1.2 Title to Shares. Purchaser desires to take title to the
Shares as follows: (i) [ X ] individual, as separate property; (ii) [ ] husband
and wife, as community property - spell wife's name exactly as it should be set
forth on the certificate(s): ____________________; or (iii) [ ] husband and wife
as joint tenants - spell wife's name exactly as it should be set forth on the
certificate(s):_____________________.

        2. DELIVERY. Purchaser hereby delivers to the Company (i) three signed

<PAGE>   2
the Company. The Company will issue duly executed stock certificates evidencing
the Shares in Purchaser's name and the name of his spouse, as Participant's
elects above in Section 1.2. The certificates shall be placed in escrow as
provided in Section 6 below until termination of the Company's Repurchase Option
described in Section 5 below.

        3. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 5
below) are not transferable. Purchaser shall not assign, grant a lien or
security interest in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any
Unvested Shares.

        4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER. Purchaser represents and
warrants to the Company that:

               4.1 Purchase for Own Account for Investment. Purchaser is
purchasing the Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment purposes only
and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of the
Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Purchaser
has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion
of the Shares and no one other than Purchaser (and his spouse as designated in
Section 1.2) has any beneficial ownership of any of the Shares.

               4.2 Access to Information. Purchaser has had access to all
information regarding the Company and its present and prospective business,
assets, liabilities and financial condition that Purchaser reasonably considers
important in making the decision to purchase the Shares, and Purchaser has had
ample opportunity to ask questions of the Company's representatives concerning
such matters and this investment.

               4.3 Understanding of Risks. Purchaser is fully aware of: (i) the
volatility of the market price of the Company's Common Stock; (ii) the lack of
liquidity of the Shares and the restrictions on transferability of the Shares
(e.g., that Purchaser may not be able to sell or dispose of the Shares or use
them as collateral for loans); and (iii) the tax consequences of investment in
the Shares. Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this
investment, has the ability to protect Purchaser's own interests in this
transaction and is financially capable of bearing a total loss of this
investment.

               4.4 No General Solicitation. At no time was Purchaser presented
with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio,
television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection
with the offer, sale and purchase of the Shares.

        5. COMPANY'S REPURCHASE OPTION FOR UNVESTED SHARES. The Company, or its
assignee, shall have the option to repurchase all or a portion of the
Purchaser's Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 5.1 below) on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 5 (the "REPURCHASE OPTION") if Purchaser's
employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, or no reason,
including without limitation Purchaser's death, disability, voluntary or
involuntary resignation or termination by the Company with or without cause.

               5.1 Unvested and Vested Shares. Shares that are vested pursuant
to the schedule set forth in Section 5.2 below are "VESTED SHARES." Shares that
are not vested pursuant

                                       2
<PAGE>   3
to the schedule set forth in Section 5.2 are "UNVESTED SHARES." The number of
Shares that are Vested Shares or Unvested Shares will be proportionally adjusted
for any stock split or similar change in the capital structure of the Company.

               5.2 Vesting Schedule. The Shares will vest over a ten-year
period. On the Effective Date all of the Shares will be Unvested Shares.
Provided Purchaser remains continuously employed with the Company, 30,000 Shares
will vest on January 24, 2001, the first anniversary of Purchaser's employment,
and the remaining 120,000 Shares shall vest over each of the next four years as
to 30,000 Shares on each subsequent anniversary of Purchaser's employment.
Provided Purchaser remains continuously employed with the Company he shall be
fully vested in all Shares on January 24, 2005. In the event Purchaser's
employment with the Company is terminated due to "INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION,"
"TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE" or "TERMINATION FOR DEATH OR DISABILITY," each as
defined in the Employment Agreement, the vesting of the Shares will accelerate
as set forth in Section 5.3 below. In the event Purchaser's employment with the
Company is terminated due to "VOLUNTARY TERMINATION" or "TERMINATION FOR CAUSE,"
the Shares will cease vesting on the date Purchaser's employment with the
Company terminates, and the Company or its assignee(s) will have a Repurchase
Option as to all Unvested Shares on such date. Hereinafter, the date on which
Purchaser's employment with the Company ends shall be referred to as the
"TERMINATION DATE."

               5.3 Acceleration of Vesting. If Purchaser suffers an Involuntary
Termination or Termination Without Cause, or in the event of Purchaser's
Termination for Death or Disability, all Unvested Shares shall vest in full on
the Termination Date and the Company shall not retain a Repurchase Option as to
any of the Shares.

               5.4 Exercise of Repurchase Option. At any time within one year
after the Termination Date, the Company or its assignee(s) may elect to
repurchase any or all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares by giving Purchaser
written notice of its exercise of the Repurchase Option. Any Unvested Shares as
to which the Repurchase Option is not exercised within the one-year period
following the Termination Date shall immediately become Vested Shares.

               5.5 Calculation of Repurchase Price. The Company or its
assignee(s) shall have the option to repurchase from Purchaser any or all of the
Unvested Shares at $0.01 per Share (as adjusted to reflect any stock split or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company). The Company will pay
the repurchase price to Purchaser within 30 days after providing its notice of
election to exercise the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 5.4 above.

        6. ESCROW. Purchaser agrees to deliver the stock certificates evidencing
the Shares together with the Stock Powers executed by Purchaser to the Secretary
of the Company or other designee of the Company (the "ESCROW HOLDER"). The
Escrow Holder is hereby appointed to hold such certificates and Stock Powers in
escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or
releases of such Shares as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Escrow Holder will act solely for the Company as its agent and not as a
fiduciary. Purchaser and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be liable
to any party to this Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or
omissions unless Escrow Holder is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent
in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under this

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
Agreement. Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document
executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may rely upon the advice
of counsel and obey any order of any court with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Upon request from Purchaser, Vested Shares will
be released from escrow upon termination of the Repurchase Option with respect
to such Shares described in Section 5 above.

        7. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Purchaser will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
with respect to the Shares from and after the Effective Date until such time as
Purchaser disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s)
exercise(s) the Repurchase Option. Upon an exercise of the Repurchase Option,
Purchaser will have no further rights as a holder of the Shares that are
purchased upon such exercise, other than the right to receive payment for the
Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and
Purchaser will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares
so purchased that are not held by the Escrow Agent to the Company for transfer
or cancellation.

        8.     RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND STOP-TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS.

               8.1 Legends. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company
may place the legends set forth below or similar legends on any stock
certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, together with any legends that may be
required by state or federal securities laws and the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws:

               THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A
               REPURCHASE OPTION HELD BY THE ISSUER AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS
               SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF
               JANUARY 24, 2000 BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND STEPHEN M. BENNETT (THE
               "AGREEMENT"). THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS
               PERMITTED UNDER THE AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT MAY BE
               OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.

                Until the Shares are registered under the Securities Act, as
provided in Section 4(a) of the Employment Agreement, the Company may place the
following additional legend or a legend similar thereto on the certificate(s)
evidencing the Shares:

               THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
               REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
               "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES.
               THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
               AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS
               PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
               SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                8.2 Stop-Transfer Instructions. Purchaser agrees that, to ensure
compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may
issue appropriate "stop-transfer" instructions to its transfer agent. The
Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have
been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner of such Shares, or to accord the right
to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such
Shares have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

        9. TAX CONSEQUENCES. PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT PURCHASER MAY SUFFER
ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER'S PURCHASE OR DISPOSITION OF
THE SHARES. PURCHASER REPRESENTS (i) THAT PURCHASER HAS CONSULTED WITH ANY TAX
ADVISER THAT PURCHASER DEEMS ADVISABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OR
DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES AND (ii) THAT PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON THE COMPANY
FOR ANY TAX ADVICE. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Purchaser has been
informed that, unless an election is filed by the Purchaser with the Internal
Revenue Service (and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities) within
30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code (and similar state tax provisions, if applicable) to be
taxed currently on any difference between the Purchase Price of the Shares and
their fair market value on the date of purchase, there will be a recognition of
taxable income to the Purchaser, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair
market value of the Vested Shares, at the time they cease to be Unvested Shares,
over the Purchase Price for such Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has
consulted any tax advisers Purchaser deems advisable in connection with
Purchaser's purchase of the Shares and the filing of the election under Section
83(b) and similar tax provisions. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is
attached hereto as Exhibit 3 for reference. PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FILING AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE AND PAYING ANY TAXES RESULTING FROM SUCH ELECTION OR FROM FAILURE
TO FILE SUCH ELECTION AND PAYING TAXES RESULTING FROM THE LAPSE OF THE
REPURCHASE RESTRICTIONS ON THE UNVESTED SHARES.

        10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. The issuance and transfer of
the Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and
Purchaser with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations and with
all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Company's Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such
issuance or transfer.

        11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The Company may assign any of its rights
under this Agreement, including its rights to repurchase Shares under the
Repurchase Option. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on
transfer herein set forth, this Agreement will be binding upon Purchaser and
Purchaser's heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors
and assigns.

        12. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal 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, excluding that body of laws
pertaining to conflict of laws. If any provision of this Agreement is determined
by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain
fully effective and enforceable.

        13. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company
shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at
its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to
Purchaser shall be in writing and addressed to Purchaser at the address
indicated above or to such other address as Purchaser may designate in writing

(prepaid), or (iv) one (1) business day after transmission by facsimile.

        14. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS. The parties agree to execute such further
instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to
carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

        15. HEADINGS. The captions and headings of this Agreement are included

the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior understandings and
agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to

fully vested in all Shares on January 24, 2010. In the event Purchaser's
employment with the Company is terminated due to "INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION,"
"TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE" or "TERMINATION FOR DEATH OR DISABILITY," each as
defined in the Employment Agreement, the vesting of the Shares will accelerate
as set forth in Section 5.3 below. In the event Purchaser's employment with the
Company is terminated due to "VOLUNTARY TERMINATION" or "TERMINATION FOR CAUSE,"
the Shares will cease vesting on the date Purchaser's employment with the
Company terminates, and the Company or its assignee(s) will have a Repurchase
Option as to all Unvested Shares on such date. Hereinafter, the date on which
Purchaser's employment with the Company ends shall be referred to as the
"TERMINATION DATE."

               5.3 Acceleration of Vesting. If Purchaser suffers an Involuntary
Termination or Termination Without Cause, or in the event of Purchaser's
Termination for Death or Disability, all Unvested Shares shall vest in full on
the Termination Date and the Company shall not retain a Repurchase Option as to
any of the Shares.

               5.4 Exercise of Repurchase Option. At any time within one year
after the Termination Date, the Company or its assignee(s) may elect to
repurchase any or all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares by giving Purchaser
written notice of its exercise of the Repurchase Option. Any Unvested Shares as
to which the Repurchase Option is not exercised within the one-year period
following the Termination Date shall immediately become Vested Shares.

               5.5 Calculation of Repurchase Price. The Company or its
assignee(s) shall have the option to repurchase from Purchaser any or all of the
Unvested Shares at $0.01 per Share (as adjusted to reflect any stock split or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company). The Company will pay
the repurchase price to Purchaser within 30 days after providing its notice of
election to exercise the Repurchase Option pursuant to Section 5.4 above.

        6. ESCROW. Purchaser agrees to deliver the stock certificates evidencing
the Shares together with the Stock Powers executed by Purchaser to the Secretary
of the Company or other designee of the Company (the "ESCROW HOLDER"). The
Escrow Holder is hereby appointed to hold such certificates and Stock Powers in
escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or
releases of such Shares as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Escrow Holder will act solely for the Company as its agent and not as a
fiduciary. Purchaser and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be liable
to any party to this Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or
omissions unless Escrow Holder is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent
in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under this

                                       3
<PAGE>   10
Agreement. Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document
executed by any signature purported to be genuine and may rely upon the advice
of counsel and obey any order of any court with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Upon request from Purchaser, Vested Shares will
be released from escrow upon termination of the Repurchase Option with respect
to such Shares described in Section 5 above.

        7. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Purchaser will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
with respect to the Shares from and after the Effective Date until such time as
Purchaser disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s)
exercise(s) the Repurchase Option. Upon an exercise of the Repurchase Option,
Purchaser will have no further rights as a holder of the Shares that are
purchased upon such exercise, other than the right to receive payment for the
Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and
Purchaser will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares
so purchased that are not held by the Escrow Agent to the Company for transfer
or cancellation.

        8.     RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND STOP-TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS.

               8.1 Legends. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company
may place the legends set forth below or similar legends on any stock
certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, together with any legends that may be
required by state or federal securities laws and the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws:

               THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A
               REPURCHASE OPTION HELD BY THE ISSUER AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS
               SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF
               JANUARY 24, 2000 BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND STEPHEN M. BENNETT (THE
               "AGREEMENT"). THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS
               PERMITTED UNDER THE AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT MAY BE
               OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.

                Until the Shares are registered under the Securities Act, as
provided in Section 4(a) of the Employment Agreement, the Company may place the
following additional legend or a legend similar thereto on the certificate(s)
evidencing the Shares:

               THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
               REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
               "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES.
               THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY
               AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS
               PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
               SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

                                       4
<PAGE>   11

                8.2 Stop-Transfer Instructions. Purchaser agrees that, to ensure
compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may
issue appropriate "stop-transfer" instructions to its transfer agent. The
Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have
been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner of such Shares, or to accord the right
to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such
Shares have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

        9. TAX CONSEQUENCES. PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT PURCHASER MAY SUFFER
ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER'S PURCHASE OR DISPOSITION OF
THE SHARES. PURCHASER REPRESENTS (i) THAT PURCHASER HAS CONSULTED WITH ANY TAX
ADVISER THAT PURCHASER DEEMS ADVISABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OR
DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES AND (ii) THAT PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON THE COMPANY
FOR ANY TAX ADVICE. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Purchaser has been
informed that, unless an election is filed by the Purchaser with the Internal
Revenue Service (and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities) within
30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code (and similar state tax provisions, if applicable) to be
taxed currently on any difference between the Purchase Price of the Shares and
their fair market value on the date of purchase, there will be a recognition of
taxable income to the Purchaser, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair
market value of the Vested Shares, at the time they cease to be Unvested Shares,
over the Purchase Price for such Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has
consulted any tax advisers Purchaser deems advisable in connection with
Purchaser's purchase of the Shares and the filing of the election under Section
83(b) and similar tax provisions. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is
attached hereto as Exhibit 3 for reference. PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FILING AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE AND PAYING ANY TAXES RESULTING FROM SUCH ELECTION OR FROM FAILURE
TO FILE SUCH ELECTION AND PAYING TAXES RESULTING FROM THE LAPSE OF THE
REPURCHASE RESTRICTIONS ON THE UNVESTED SHARES.

        10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. The issuance and transfer of
the Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and
Purchaser with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations and with
all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Company's Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such
issuance or transfer.

        11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The Company may assign any of its rights
under this Agreement, including its rights to repurchase Shares under the
Repurchase Option. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on
transfer herein set forth, this Agreement will be binding upon Purchaser and
Purchaser's heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors
and assigns.

        12. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal 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, excluding that body of laws
pertaining to conflict of laws. If any provision of this Agreement is determined
by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will

                                       5
<PAGE>   12
be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain
fully effective and enforceable.

        13. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company
shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at
its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to
Purchaser shall be in writing and addressed to Purchaser at the address
indicated above or to such other address as Purchaser may designate in writing
from time to time to the Company. All notices shall be deemed effectively given
(i) upon personal delivery, (ii) three (3) days after deposit in the United
States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), (iii)
one (1) business day after its deposit with any return receipt express courier
(prepaid), or (iv) one (1) business day after transmission by facsimile.

        14. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS. The parties agree to execute such further
instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to
carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

        15. HEADINGS. The captions and headings of this Agreement are included
for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing
this Agreement.

        16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto
constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior understandings and
agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to
the specific subject matter hereof.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
in triplicate by its duly authorized representative and Purchaser has executed
this Agreement in triplicate as of the Effective Date.

                             CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT
                          AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS

        THIS CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS (the
"AGREEMENT") dated as of September 23, 1999 is between William H. Harris, Jr.
("EMPLOYEE") and Intuit, Inc. ("INTUIT"), a Delaware corporation. As used in
this Agreement, Intuit refers to Intuit, Inc. and all parents, subsidiaries,
divisions, predecessors, and successors of Intuit, Inc.

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

        1. Termination as an Officer of the Company. Employee's employment as
President and Chief Executive Officer of Intuit shall terminate effective as of
September 23, 1999 (the "REASSIGNMENT DATE"). Employee shall be employed as
Director of Strategic Internet Policy for the period from the Reassignment Date
through July 1, 2001 (the "EMPLOYMENT PERIOD") to advise the Company and the
Board on internet strategy and financial opportunities. During the Employment
Period, Employee will make himself available at mutually convenient times as
requested by the Company's Chief Executive Officer to provide this advice.
Notwithstanding this employment, Employee shall be free to simultaneously engage
in other activities chosen by Employee, including full-time employment with any
other entities, during the Employment period. During the Employment Period
Employee shall report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Employee shall
continue to serve as a director on the Board of Directors of Intuit if elected
by the stockholders of the Company following the Reassignment Date. Intuit
agrees to nominate Employee for re-election to the Board of Directors at its
1999 and 2000 Annual Meetings.

        2. Obligations of Intuit.

               a. In exchange for the release of claims and other promises set
forth in this Agreement, Intuit agrees to provide Employee with the following
benefits:

                      (1) Employee shall receive his base salary and all other
unpaid compensation and benefits accrued through the Reassignment Date (less
applicable withholding).

                      (2) Intuit will pay Employee an amount equal to Employee's
base salary (determined based on Employee's base salary at his Reassignment
Date) in semi-monthly installments during the Employment Period. In addition,
Intuit will pay Employee an amount equal to 1.5 times Employee's fiscal 1999
bonus in such semi-monthly installments during the Employment Period.

                      (3) Intuit will provide Employee with all existing
employee benefit plan insurance coverage (other than any new grants of stock
options and Section 401(k) plan eligibility) to the extent permitted by Intuit's
employee benefit plans for the Employment Period at Intuit's expense.
Thereafter, Employee will be eligible to purchase independently the identical

<PAGE>   2

healthcare insurance coverage programs as required by C.O.B.R.A. (Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended).

                      (4) With respect to any Intuit stock options held by
Employee as of the Reassignment Date, such stock options shall continue to vest
and remain exercisable until Intuit's 2000 Annual Meeting provided Employee
serves as a director of Intuit and shall continue to vest and remain exercisable
thereafter for any subsequent period that Employee remains a director and/or an
employee of Intuit, and provided such vesting and exercisability has so
continued, such options shall remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90)
days thereafter, pursuant to the provisions of Employee's stock option grants
under Intuit's stock option plans.

               b. Employee understands and acknowledges that Employee will not
be entitled to any benefits from Intuit other than those expressly set forth in
this Section 2.

               c. The benefits payable under Subsections 2(a)(1) and 2(a)(2)
shall be payable during the Employment Period even if Employee dies prior to the
end of the Employment Period or is not elected as a director, is terminated as
an employee, or is unable to serve as a director or employee of Intuit. The
benefits payable under Subsections 2(a)(4) shall be payable during the
Employment Period if Intuit fails to nominate Employee as a director.

        3. Obligations of Employee. In exchange for the benefits described in
Section 3, Employee agrees to the following:

               a. Employee agrees to promptly provide Intuit with any available
information relating to work previously performed by Employee for Intuit upon
reasonable notice and request from Intuit for a period of up to one year from
the end of the Employment Period.

               b. Employee will be bound by and comply with the terms of that
certain Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement
("CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT"), a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit A. Employee will return all Intuit property (unless otherwise agreed in
writing) and all confidential and proprietary information in Employee's
possession to Intuit within five business days from the later of (a) the end of
the Employment Period or (b) the date Employee ceases to be a director.

               c. Employee will not solicit, or initiate any solicitation of any
Intuit employee to leave his/her employment with Intuit to commence a
relationship with Employee or any other employer for a period ending at the end
of the Employment Period.

        4. Release. In exchange for the benefits described in Section 2,
Employee agrees to execute the release (the "RELEASE") attached to this
Agreement as "Addendum A" on or promptly following the Reassignment Date and the
end of the Employment Period.

        5. Arbitration. Any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or in
any way relating to this Agreement or the alleged breach of this Agreement will
be submitted by the parties to binding arbitration in Santa Clara County,
California by the American Arbitration

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

Association under its California Employment Dispute Resolution Rules or by a
judge to be mutually agreed upon. This Section 5 will not prevent either party
from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court
having jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of their dispute
relating to Employee's obligations under Employee's Confidentiality Agreement
and Employee's obligations under Section 3 hereof.

        6. Attorneys' Fees. The prevailing party will be entitled to recover
from the losing party its attorneys' fees and costs (including expert witness
fees) incurred in any arbitration, lawsuit or other proceeding brought to
enforce any right arising out of this Agreement.

        7. Confidentiality. Employee acknowledges that Employee has not
disclosed any of the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than Employee's
counsel and/or spouse/domestic partner. Employee agrees, on behalf of Employee
and Employee's agents, not to disclose, or to take every reasonable precaution
to prevent disclosure of, any of the terms of this Agreement or consideration
for this Agreement (the "SETTLEMENT INFORMATION") to third parties, and agrees
that there will be no publicity, directly or indirectly, concerning any
Settlement Information. Employee agrees to take every reasonable precaution to
disclose Settlement Information only to Employee's attorney, accountant, tax
authorities, and Employee's spouse/domestic partner, if and only if these
individuals have a reasonable and justifiable need to know of such Settlement
Information, provided, however, that any person or entity to whom such
disclosure is made will, prior to disclosure and to the extent permitted by law,
acknowledge the confidentiality of such information and agree to keep such
information confidential. Employee acknowledges that the confidentiality of the
terms of this Agreement is a material inducement to Intuit in entering into it.
Any dispute concerning this confidentiality provision will be resolved through
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Santa Clara County,
California (the "ARBITRATOR") pursuant to Section 5.

        8. Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from disparagement,
criticism, defamation or slander of Intuit or any of its employees, officers,
directors, agents, products or services to anyone, including but not limited to
other employees and any past, present or prospective customers. Intuit agrees to
maintain its neutral reference policy in regard to Employee and refrain from
disparagement, criticism, defamation and slander of Employee.

        9. No Admission of Liability. Intuit and Employee understand and
acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement. No
action taken by the parties hereto, or either of them, either previously or in
connection with this Agreement will be deemed or construed to be (a) an
admission of the truth or falsity of any claims or (b) an acknowledgment or
admission by a party of any fault or liability whatsoever to the other party or
to any third party.

        10. No Knowledge of Wrongdoing. Employee has no knowledge of any
wrongdoing involving improper or false claims against a federal or state
governmental agency, or other wrongdoing, that involves Employee or other
present or former Intuit employees.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

        11. Successors. The provisions of this Agreement will extend and inure
to the benefit of, and be binding upon the respective legal successors and
assigns of Intuit and Employee in addition to Intuit and Employee.

        12. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes
all prior negotiations and Agreements, whether written or oral with the
exception of Employee's obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and/or
any surviving stock option agreements with respect to such subject matter.

        13. No Oral Modification. This Agreement may not be altered or amended
except by a written document executed by Employee and Intuit.

        14. Governing Law. This Agreement will in all respects be governed by
the laws of the State of California as applied to agreements entered into and to
be performed entirely within California between California residents.

        15. Effective Date. This Agreement is effective as of September 25,
1999, provided that the Release, and Intuit's obligations pursuant to Section 2
above, shall become effective on the eighth day after the Release has been
signed by both parties (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), unless sooner revoked by
Employee. If Employee desires to revoke the Release, Employee must deliver or
cause to be delivered a written statement of revocation from Employee prior to
the Effective Date to the Human Resources Department, Intuit, Inc., Post office
Box 7850, Mountain View, CA 94039-7850.

        16. No Representations. Each party represents that it has had the
opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands
the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has
relied upon any representations or statements made by the other party hereto
which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement.

        17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and
each counterpart will have the same force and effect as an original and will
constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the
undersigned.

        18. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein will for any reason be held to be unenforceable in any respect
under any statute, rule or law of any state or of the United States of America,
such unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement,
but, with respect only to the jurisdiction holding the provision to be

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

unenforceable, this Agreement will then be construed as if such unenforceable
provision or provisions had never been contained herein.

                                   ADDENDUM A

        THIS GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS ( "RELEASE") is between William H.

Section 206.5 is not applicable to the parties hereto. Said section provides in
pertinent part:

        No employer will require the execution of any release of any claim or
        right on account of wages due, or to become due, or made as an advance
        on wages to be earned, unless payment of such wages has been made.

attorneys, legal successors, and assigns, hereby fully and forever release each
other and their respective heirs, family members, executors, shareholders, from

duties, causes of action, whether now known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, that either of them may possess based upon or arising out of any
matter, cause, fact, thing, act, or omission whatsoever occurring or existing at
any time to and including the Effective Date (collectively, the "RELEASED

           EMPLOYEE INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

        1. I understand that Intuit Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in a
continuous program of research, development, production and marketing in
connection with its business and that it is critical for the Company to preserve
and protect its Proprietary Information (as defined below), its rights in
Inventions (as defined below) and in all related intellectual property rights
(collectively referred to as "Intellectual Property"). Accordingly, I am
entering into this agreement as a condition of my employment with the Company,
whether or not I am expected to create inventions of value for the Company.

        2. I understand that during the course of my employment with the Company
both prior to and subsequent to the Reassignment Date it is likely I will gain
access to information of a confidential or secret nature ("Proprietary
Information"). Proprietary Information includes but is not limited to Inventions
(as defined below), marketing plans, product plans, business strategies,
financial information, forecasts, personnel information, customer lists, and
trade secrets. Such information may relate to the business of the Company or to
the business or any subsidiary, affiliate or any party with whom the Company is
bound to hold information of such party confidential.

        3. I agree that, at all times, both during my employment (both prior to
and subsequent to the Reassignment Date) and for a period of two years after I
leave the Company, I will keep and hold any Proprietary Information in strict
confidence and trust, and I will not use or disclose any Proprietary Information
without first receiving the Company's express written consent, except if
compelled by government or court order to do so. Upon leaving the Company, I
will promptly give to the Company all documents, materials or property in my
possession related to the Company. I will not take with me any property or
copies of my work or Company related documents and materials that I have
received or used, including Proprietary Information.

        4. During the course of my employment prior to the Reassignment Date, I
have promptly disclosed in confidence to the Company all inventions,
improvements, designs, original works of authorship, formulas, processes,
compositions of matter, computer software programs, databases, mask works and
trade secrets ("Inventions") that I made or conceived or first reduced to
practice or create, either alone or jointly with others, which relate to my
employment, and whether or not such Inventions are patentable, copyrightable or
protectible as trade secrets.

        5. I understand that, under the copyright laws, any copyrightable works
prepared by me within the course and scope of my employment prior to the
Reassignment Date are "works for hire". Consequently, the Company will be
considered the author and owner of such works.

        6. I agree that all Inventions developed during my employment prior to
the Reassignment Date that (a) were developed using equipment, supplies,
facilities, or trade secrets of the Company, (b) resulted from work performed by
me for the Company, or (c) related to the Company's business or current or
anticipated research and development, will be the sole and exclusive property of
the Company. I hereby assign and agree to transfer to the Company any and all
Intellectual Property, including all intellectual property rights,
registrations, trade secrets rights as well as worldwide rights in any
intellectual property or other forms of protection.

        7. I also waive and agree never to assert any "Moral Rights" I might
have in or with respect to any Invention described in Section 6, even after I
leave the Company. Moral Rights means any right (or similar right existing under
the judicial or statutory law of any country or treaty) to claim authorship of
any Invention, to object or prevent modification of any Invention, or to
withdraw from circulation or to control the publication or distribution of any
Invention.

        8. I agree to assist the Company in every proper way to obtain and
enforce the intellectual property protection for any Intellectual Property in
any and all countries. I will sign documents that the Company may reasonably
request to obtain such protection. My obligations under this paragraph will
continue even after I leave the Company, provided the Company will reimburse me
at a reasonable rate after I leave the Company for time or expenses actually
spent by me on its behalf.

        9. During my employment with the Company and for a period of two years
after termination of my employment, I will not directly or indirectly solicit or
take away suppliers or customers of the Company if the identity of the supplier
or customer or information about the supplier or customer relationship is a
trade secret or is otherwise deemed confidential information within the meaning
of California law. Nothing in this section will prevent me from being employed
by, doing business with or having any relationship with any supplier or customer
of the Company, provided that such activity is not based upon the use of trade
secrets.

        10. I agree and authorize the Company to use, reuse, and to grant others
the right to use and reuse, my name, photograph, likeness (including
caricature), voice, and biographical information, and any reproduction or
simulation thereof, in any media now known or hereafter developed (including but
not limited to film, video and digital or other electronic media), both during
and after my employment, for whatever lawful purposes the Company deems
necessary.

        11. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this agreement
and my responsibilities as an employee of the Company will not breach any
invention assignment/proprietary information agreement with any former employer
or other party and that I will not use or disclose any trade secrets or
proprietary information from any former employer or third party in the course of
my employment with the Company. I also represent that I will not bring with me
to the Company or use in the performance of my responsibilities for the Company
any property of a former employer that would not generally be available to the
public or have not been legally transferred to the Company. I hereby authorize
the Company to notify and the company authorizes me to notify my employer or
future employer of the terms of this Agreement and my responsibilities detailed
in this agreement.

        12. I understand that any breach or threatened breach of this agreement
by me will likely result in irreparable harm and the Company will be entitled to
injunctive relief to enforce this agreement.

        13. This agreement will be governed and interpreted in accordance with
the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to or application
of choice of law rules or principles. In the event that any provision of this
agreement is found by a court or other competent tribunal to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, then that provision will not be voided but enforced to the
maximum extent allowed, and the remainder of the agreement will remain in full
force and effect.

        14. I have been notified and understand that certain Inventions may be
excepted from this agreement if it qualifies fully under the provisions of
Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, which states as follows:

        ANY PROVISION IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES THAT AN EMPLOYEE
SHALL ASSIGN, OR OFFER TO ASSIGN, ANY OF HIS OR HER RIGHTS IN AN INVENTION TO
HIS OR HER EMPLOYER SHALL NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION THAT THE EMPLOYEE DEVELOPED
ENTIRELY ON HIS OR HER OWN TIME WITHOUT USING THE EMPLOYER'S EQUIPMENT,
SUPPLIES, FACILITIES, OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION EXCEPT FOR THOSE INVENTIONS
THAT EITHER: (1) RELATE AT THE TIME OF CONCEPTION OR REDUCTION TO PRACTICE OF
THE INVENTION TO THE EMPLOYER'S BUSINESS, OR ACTUALLY OR DEMONSTRABLY
ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMPLOYER, OR (2) RESULT FROM ANY WORK
PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE EMPLOYER. TO THE EXTENT A PROVISION IN AN
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT PURPORTS TO REQUIRE AN EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN AN INVENTION
OTHERWISE EXCLUDED FROM BEING REQUIRED TO BE ASSIGNED UNDER CALIFORNIA LABOR
CODE SECTION 2870(a), THE PROVISION IS AGAINST THE PUBLIC POLICY OF THIS STATE
AND IS UNENFORCEABLE.

                                      -3-

        15. I understand that this agreement does not constitute an employment
contract or obligate the Company to employ me for any period of time, except as
provided in the Confidential Agreement and General Release of Claims dated as of
September 23, 1999, to which this Employee Invention Assignment and
confidentiality Agreement is an exhibit. This agreement will be effective as of
the first day of my employment by the Company which was January 3, 1994.
