                                       5.
<PAGE>

proprietary rights, 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 and
other proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity other than
such licenses or agreements arising from the purchase of "off the shelf" or
standard products.

         (b) The Company has not received any communications alleging that the
Company has violated or, by conducting its business as presently proposed in the
Business Plan (as defined in Section 3.21 hereof), 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.

         (c) 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 their duties to the Company or
that would conflict with the Company's business as presently proposed to be
conducted in the Business Plan. Each employee, officer and consultant of the
Company has executed a proprietary information and inventions agreement in the
form of Exhibit G attached hereto. No employee, officer or consultant of the
Company has excluded works or inventions made prior to his or her employment
with the Company from his or her assignment of inventions pursuant to such
employee, officer or consultant's proprietary information and inventions
agreement. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize
any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information of any of its employees
made prior to their employment by the Company, except for inventions, trade
secrets or proprietary information that have been assigned to the Company.

         (d) Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the Related
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 presently proposed in
the Business Plan, will, to 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 employee is now
obligated.

         3.10 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation
or default of any term of its Restated Charter or Bylaws, or of any provision of
any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument or contract to which it
is party or by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order, writ. The
execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and
the Related Agreements, and the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant hereto
and of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Restated Charter, will not, with or
without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material
violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term,
or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license,
authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations
or any of its assets or properties. The Company has avoided every condition, and
has not performed any act, the occurrence of which would result in the Company's
loss of any right granted under any

                                       6.
<PAGE>

license, distribution agreement or other agreement required to be disclosed on
the Schedule of Exceptions.

         3.11 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened against the Company
that questions the validity of this Agreement, or the Related Agreements or the
right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which might result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change 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 any of the foregoing. The foregoing includes,
without limitation, actions pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened
or any basis therefor known by 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 which the Company intends to initiate.

         3.12 Tax Returns and Payments. The Company has filed all tax returns
(federal, state and local) required to be filed by it. All taxes shown to be due
and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and to the Company's
knowledge all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or before the
Closing, have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become
delinquent. The Company has no knowledge of any liability of any tax to be
imposed upon its properties or assets as of the date of this Agreement that is
not adequately provided for.

         3.13 Employees. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements
with any of its employees. There is no labor union organizing activity pending
or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened with respect to the Company. The
Company is not a party to or bound by any currently effective employment
contract, deferred compensation arrangement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit
sharing plan, retirement agreement or other employee compensation plan or
agreement. To the Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any
consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of
any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other
agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to
contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted
by the Company; and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the
Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts
with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The
Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has
occurred. No employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued
employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination
of employment with the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer, key
employee or group of employees intends to terminate his, her or their employment
with the Company, nor does the Company have a present intention to terminate the
employment of any officer, key employee or group of employees.

                                       7.
<PAGE>

         3.14 Obligations of Management. Each officer and key employee of the
Company is currently devoting substantially all of his or her business time to
the conduct of the business of the Company. The Company is not aware that any
officer or key employee of the Company is planning to work less than full time
at the Company in the future. No officer or key employee is currently working
or, to the Company's knowledge, plans to work for a competitive enterprise,
whether or not such officer or key employee is or will be compensated by such
enterprise.

         3.15 Registration Rights and Voting Rights. Except as required pursuant
to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company is presently not under any
obligation, and has not granted any rights, to register (as defined in Section
1.1 of the Investor Rights Agreement) any of the Company's presently outstanding
securities or any of its securities that may hereafter be issued. To the
Company's knowledge, except as contemplated in the Voting Agreement, no
shareholder of the Company has entered into any agreement with respect to the
voting of equity securities of the Company.

         3.16 Compliance with Laws; Permits. The Company is not in violation of
any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic
or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the
conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties which violation would
materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial
condition, operations or prospects of the Company. No governmental orders,
permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained
and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in connection with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares or
the Conversion Shares, except such as has been duly and validly obtained or
filed, or with respect to any filings that must be made after the Closing, as
will be filed in a timely manner. The Company has all franchises, permits,
licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as
now being conducted by it, the lack of which could materially and adversely
affect the business, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company
and believes it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar
authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted in the
Business Plan.

         3.17 Offering Valid. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Purchasers contained in Section 4.2 hereof, the offer, sale
and issuance of the Shares and the Conversion Shares will be exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt
from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or
qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither the
Company nor any agent on its behalf has solicited or will solicit any offers to
sell or has offered to sell or will offer to sell all or any part of the Shares
to any person or persons so as to bring the sale of such Shares by the Company
within the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any state securities
laws.

         3.18 Full Disclosure. The Company has provided the Purchasers with all
information requested by the Purchasers in connection with their decision to
purchase the Shares, including all information the Company believes is
reasonably necessary to make such investment decision. Neither this Agreement,
the exhibits hereto, the Related Agreements nor any other

                                       8.
<PAGE>

document delivered by the Company to Purchasers or their attorneys or agents in
connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor, omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 2000 Business Plan
(the "Business Plan") provided to each of the Purchasers was prepared by the
management of the Company in a good faith effort to describe the Company's
presently proposed business and products and the markets therefore. The
assumptions applied in preparing the Business Plan appeared reasonable to
management as of the date thereof and as of the date hereof; however, there is
no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be valid or that the
objectives set forth in the Business Plan will be achieved. To the Company's
knowledge, there are no facts which (individually or in the aggregate)
materially adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial
condition, prospects or operations of the Company that have not been set forth
in the Agreement, the exhibits hereto, the Related Agreements or in other
documents delivered to Purchasers or their attorneys or agents in connection
herewith.

         3.19 Section 83(b) Elections. To the Company's knowledge, all elections
and notices permitted by Section 83(b) of the Code and any analogous provisions
of applicable state tax laws have been timely filed by all employees who have
purchased shares of the Company's common stock under agreements that provide for
the vesting of such shares.

         3.20 Insurance. The Company has or will obtain promptly following the
Closing general commercial, product liability, fire and casualty insurance
policies with coverage customary for companies similarly situated to the
Company.

      4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS.

         Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows
(such representations and warranties do not lessen or obviate the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement):

         4.1 Requisite Power and Authority. Purchaser has all necessary power
and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry out their provisions. All
action on Purchaser's part required for the lawful execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the Related Agreements have been or will be effectively taken
prior to the Closing. Upon their execution and delivery, this Agreement and the
Related Agreements will be valid and binding obligations of Purchaser,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights, (b) as limited by
general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable
remedies, and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification
provisions of Section 2.9 of the Investor Rights Agreement may be limited by
applicable laws.

         4.2 Investment Representations. Purchaser understands that neither the
Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act.
Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant
to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part
upon Purchaser's representations contained in the Agreement. Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants as follows:

                                       9.
<PAGE>

         (a) Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. Purchaser has substantial experience
in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in
companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its
own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment
indefinitely unless the Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are registered
pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available.
Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of registering
the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock. Purchaser
also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration
under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such
exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Shares
or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times
Purchaser might propose.

         (b) Acquisition for Own Account. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and
the Conversion Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment only, and not
with a view towards their distribution.

         (c) Purchaser Can Protect Its Interest. Purchaser represents that by
reason of its, or of its management's, business or financial experience,

$100,000.00                      Palo Alto, California             June 12, 2000

         For value received, NetConversions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby promises to pay to Oryx Ventures ("Lender"), the principal
sum of $100,000.00 with simple interest thereon from the date of this Note until
paid at the rate of 8% calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The principal
hereof and the interest thereon, shall be due and payable on December 31, 2000
unless earlier converted into capital stock of the Company upon the closing of
the next equity financing. This Note may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in
part.

         1. Conversion on Next Equity Financing.

         Upon the closing of the Company's next preferred stock financing
transaction in which the Company raises $1,500,000 or more from persons who are
not current stockholders (an "Equity Financing") all outstanding principal and
accrued interest under this Note shall automatically be converted into the same
type of preferred stock of the Company as issued by the Company in the Equity
Financing.

         The conversion price ("Conversion Price") shall be 12% lower than the
lowest per share price paid by any other investor in the next Equity Financing.
If the Company's next Equity Financing shall close later than August 1, 2000,
the Conversion Price shall b 17% lower than the lowest price paid in such Equity
Financing and the Conversion Price shall be reduced by an additional 5% on the
first day of each subsequent month until the Equity Financing is closed.

         Lender shall also be entitled to all other rights granted to any
investor in the Company's next Equity Financing, such as registration rights,
rights of future purchase, preemptive rights, and similar rights, if any (each
an "Investor Right"), on a basis equal to the best terms for any Investor Right
offered to any investor in the Company's next Equity Financing.

         In the event that no Equity Financing closes by December 31, 2000, ths
Note will be due and payable according to its terms.

<PAGE>

         2. Default Conversion.

         There is no default conversion.

         3. Procedure Following Automatic Conversion.

         Upon automatic conversion, the outstanding principal and accrued
interest under this Note shall convert automatically without any further action
by Lender whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Company or its transfer
agent. The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the
securities issuable upon automatic conversion of this Note unless this Note is
either delivered to the Company, or its transfer agent, or Lender notifies the
Company or its transfer agent that this Note has been lost, stolen, or destroyed
and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company
from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note. The Company shall, as
soon as practicable after delivery of such agreement and indemnification, issue
in the name of Lender a certificate or certificates for the securities to which
Lender is entitled and a check payable to Lender in the amount of any cash
amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of the
securities. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately before
the close of business on the date of automatic conversion. Lender shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder of such securities n such date.

         4. Transfer Procedure.

         This Note is not transferable without the written consent of the
Company, which may not be unreasonably withheld. The transfer of this Note is
registrable by Lender in person or by an attorney duly authorized in writing on
the books of the Company. Upon surrender and cancellation of this Note upon any
such transfer, the Company shall issue a new note for the same aggregate
principal amount to the transferee. The Company and any transfer agent may deem
and treat the person in whose name this Note is registered upon the books of the
Company as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note is overdue
and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for all
other purposes, and neither the Company nor any transfer agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary. All payments to the registered owner shall be
valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability on this Note to the
extent of the sum so paid.

         5. Lender Representations and Warranties.

         The Lender represents and warrants as follows: (i) It is familiar with
the Company, the nature of its business, its financial prospects and the merits
and risks of an investment in the Company, and has the capacity to protect its
own interests; (ii) It is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501
(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (iii) It
is acquiring this Note and the securities that may be purchased thereby for
investment for its own account, not as a nominee or

<PAGE>

agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with any distribution
thereof. Lender understands that this Note and the securities that may be
purchased thereby have not been, and will not be, registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provisions of such Act, the availability of which depends upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the
accuracy of Lender's representations as expressed herein.

         6. Notice.

any party shall be in writing (which may include telecopier or other similar

of non-performance, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor, or other
formality. All sums due under this Note shall, at the election of Lender, be
immediately due and payable upon the happening of any on or more of the
following events of default: (a) the Company defaults in the performance of or
compliance with any term of this Note; (b) the Company admits in writing an
inability to pay debts generally as they become due; (c) the Company makes a
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) the Company applies for or
consents to the appointment of a receiver of the whole or any substantial part
of Company's assets; (e) the Company files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or
a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors
or to take advantage of any insolvency law or an answer admitting material
allegations of a petition filed against Company in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, or insolvency proceedings; or (f) an order, judgment, or decree
is entered, without the application, approval, or a consent of Company, by any
court of competent jurisdiction adjudging Company to be a bankrupt or approving
a petition appointing a receiver, trustee, or liquidator of the whole or any
substantial part of the assets of Company, and such order, judgment, or decree
is not vacated or set aside or stayed within thirty (30) days from the date of
its entry.

         10. Costs of Collection.

         The Company shall pay all costs of collection and/or enforcement when
incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees, regardless of whether suit is
filed.

         11. Specific Performance.

         The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult to
reasonably or adequately compensate Lender for damages for any violation of any
aspect of the conversion privilege contained in this Note. The Company therefore
agrees that Lender shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance of the
terms of this Note and preliminary, temporary, and permanent injunctive relief
to restrain violations of this Note by Company and that such relief may be
granted without the necessity of proving actual damages. Nothing in this
paragraph limits Lender's right to recover money damages.

         12. Governing Law and Venue.

         This Note is delivered in and shall be construed in accordance with the
laws

of the State of California without regard to any rules that would apply the
law of another jurisdiction. Venue shall lie exclusively in Santa Clara County,
California.
