         --------
shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the

Company will deliver to Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares to be
purchased by Purchaser (which shall be issued in Purchaser's name) against
payment of the purchase price therefor by Purchaser by a check or wire transfer
from Purchaser to the Company.

     3.  Investment and Taxation Representations.  In connection with the
         ---------------------------------------
purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

         (a) Purchaser has received all the information he considers necessary
or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares and has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties,
prospects, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
Purchaser is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and
has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares.

         (b) Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the
development stage and acknowledges that he is able to fend for himself, can bear
the economic risk of his investment, and has such knowledge and experience in
financial or business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Shares.

         (c) Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for his own
account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation
<PAGE>

in, or otherwise distributing the Shares. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser
further represents that he 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 Shares.

          (d) Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
                                     ---
Act, as presently in effect.

          (e) Purchaser understands that the Shares are "restricted securities"
under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to
these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state
authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification
requirements is available.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no
obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale.  Purchaser further
acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is
available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not
limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and
requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser's
control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to
satisfy.

     4.   Restrictive Legends.
          -------------------

          (a) Legends.  The certificate or certificates representing the Shares
              -------
shall bear the following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable
state and federal corporate and securities laws):

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

              (ii)   Any legend required by the laws of the State of California,
including any legend required by the California Department of Corporations and

     7.   Covenants of Company.
          --------------------

          7.1.  Compliance with Small Business Investment Act. The Company
                ---------------------------------------------
agrees to provide each SBIC Purchaser with sufficient information to permit each
such Purchaser to comply with its obligations under the Small Business
Investment Act; provided however, each SBIC Purchaser agrees that it will
protect any information which the Company labels as confidential. Within 90 days
following each Closing and within 90 days after the end of each calendar year
during which the proceeds from the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock are
being applied, the Company shall provide to each SBIC Purchaser upon request a
certificate of its chief financial officer describing the use of such proceeds
is in accordance with Section 7.2 below. The Company shall provide each SBIC
Purchaser and the SBA reasonable access to the Company's books and records for
the purpose of confirming the use of the proceeds received hereunder.

          7.2  Use of Proceeds. The Company agrees to use the investment
               ---------------
proceeds from each SBIC Purchaser for working capital purposes or to otherwise
finance the anticipated growth of the Company, and not for any purpose for which
a small business concern is prohibited from providing funds pursuant to 13 CFR
Part 107.720. If the Company shall, without the consent of each SBIC Purchaser,
use the proceeds from the securities purchased hereunder for a purpose not
described above, each SBIC Purchaser may demand that the Company repurchase its
securities purchased hereunder at a price equal to the purchase price paid for
such securities as required by SBA Regulation Section 107.305.

          7.3  Business Activity. For a period of one year following the Initial
               -----------------
Closing, the Company shall not change the nature of its business activity if
such change would render the Company ineligible as a small business concern. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that upon any breach of the covenant set forth
in this Section 7.3, each SBIC Purchaser shall be entitled (in addition to all
of its other rights and remedies, including the right to sue for damages) to
require rescission of this Agreement and immediate repayment in full of the
purchase price for the securities purchased by such SBIC Purchaser hereunder.

          7.4  Non-Discrimination Compliance. So long as an SBIC Purchaser holds
               -----------------------------
any securities of the Company, the Company will at all times comply with the
non-discrimination requirements of 13 C.F.R. Parts 112, 113 and 117.

          7.5  Qualified Small Business Stock. The Company covenants that so
               ------------------------------
long as any of the Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock into which such
shares are converted, are held by a SBIC Purchaser (or a transferee in whose
hands such Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock are eligible to qualify as
Qualified Small Business Stock as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code), it
will use its reasonable efforts (including complying with any

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

applicable filing or reporting requirements imposed by the Code on issuers of
Qualified Small Business Stock) to cause the Series D Preferred Stock or the
Common Stock into which such shares are converted, to qualify as Qualified Small
Business Stock; provided, however, that "reasonable efforts" as used in this
Section 7.5 shall not be construed to require the Company to operate its
business in a manner which would adversely affect its business, limit its future
prospects or alter the timing or resource allocation related to its planned
operations or financing activities.

     8.   Finder's Fee.  Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify and to hold
          ------------
harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in
the nature of a finders' fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against
such liability or asserted liability) for which such Purchaser or any of its
officers, partners, employees, or representatives is responsible. The Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser from any liability for any
commission or compensation in the nature of a finders' fee (and the costs and
expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which
the Company or any of its officers, employees or representatives is responsible.

     9.   Miscellaneous.
          -------------

          9.1  Survival of Warranties.  The warranties, representations and
                ---------------------

Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Closing.
