NOW, THEREFORE, in

Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, shares
of Zamba’s NextNet Stock in accordance with the following terms:

Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby purchases from the Company, a total of
      shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock (the
“Shares”), which is determined by dividing the aggregate purchase price of $

2.             Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser.  As
a material inducement for the Company’s issuance and sale of the shares of
Zamba’s NextNet Stock, the Purchaser represents, warrants, covenants and
acknowledges to the Company that:

 

(a)           The Purchaser understands that the
sale of the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock pursuant to the terms hereof has
not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws.  Instead, the Company is selling the Shares
pursuant to exemptions from such laws and in doing so is relying on, among
other things, the Purchaser’s representations, warranties, covenants and
acknowledgements contained herein.

 

(b)           The Purchaser is an “accredited
investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act, and as further represented in Section 3 of this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Purchaser has sufficient
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the shares of
Zamba’s NextNet Stock.

 

2

 

(d)           The Purchaser has been provided with
or given access to such information concerning NextNet, including, but not
limited to, its business, financial condition and prospects (collectively,
“NextNet’s Business”), as the Purchaser has requested and/or deems necessary
and has utilized such information to the Purchaser’s satisfaction for the
purpose of making an investment in the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock pursuant
to the terms hereof.  The Purchaser
hereby acknowledges that it has made its own independent investigation of
NextNet’s Business and that it is not relying on any information which may been
provided by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s officers,
directors, employees, agents and other representatives (collectively, the
“Company Representatives”), in connection with its purchase of the shares of
Zamba’s NextNet Stock.  The Purchaser
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Company Representative in
connection with any loss, claim or demand which the Purchaser now has or in the
future may have in connection with its purchase of the shares of Zamba’s
NextNet Stock pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(e)           The Purchaser understands that the
purchase of the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock is a highly speculative
investment and involves a high degree of risk. 
The Purchaser acknowledges that it may not ever be able to resell the
shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock purchased pursuant to the terms hereof, whether
at the price paid by the Purchaser or otherwise.  The Purchaser believes that the investment in the shares of
Zamba’s NextNet Stock is suitable based upon the Purchaser’s investment
objectives and financial needs and the Purchaser has adequate means of
providing for current financial needs and personal contingencies, has no need
for liquidity of investment with respect to the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock
and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(f)            The Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that certain of Zamba’s directors and officers are also directors and/or
officers of NextNet, which may give them material inside knowledge regarding
NextNet’s business, including but not limited to material information about
NextNet’s technology, clients, client prospects, financial data, employees, and
investors, and the Purchaser represents that he, she, or it has not relied at
all on any statement, representation, affirmation, or omission made or not made
by any director, officer, employee, or other representative of Zamba or NextNet
in connection with the Purchaser’s decision to purchase Zamba’s NextNet Stock
and waives any claim, lawsuit, liability, or damage, whether known or unknown,
that may future asserted against Zamba or NextNet, or any and all of the
directors, officer, employees, and representatives of each of Zamba and NextNet
(the “Waived Parties”) that the Waived Parties benefited or the Purchaser
suffered detriment as a result of any material inside knowledge held by the
Waived Parties that is or is not disclosed to the Purchaser in connection with
the purchase of Zamba’s NextNet Stock hereunder.

 

(g)           The Purchaser is acquiring the shares
of Zamba’s NextNet Stock for its own account, for investment purposes only, and
without the intention of reselling or redistributing the same.

 

(h)           The Purchaser is aware that, in the
view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of the shares of
Zamba’s NextNet Stock with an intent to resell by reason of any foreseeable
specific contingency or anticipated change in market values,

 

3

 

or any change in NextNet’s condition, or in connection
with a contemplated liquidation or settlement of any loan obtained for the
acquisition of the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock and for which such shares
were pledged, would constitute an intent inconsistent with the foregoing
representation.

 

(i)            If, contrary to the Purchaser’s
foregoing intentions, it should later desire to dispose of or transfer any of
the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock in any manner, the undersigned shall not do
so without (i) first obtaining an opinion of counsel satisfactory to NextNet
that such proposed disposition or transfer may lawfully be made without
registration pursuant to the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or (ii) registering the resale of such shares under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

(j)            Neither the Company nor NextNet has
any obligation to register the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock for resale under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, or to take any
other action which would facilitate the availability of federal or state
registration exemptions in connection with any resale of such shares.  Accordingly, the Purchaser may be prohibited
by law from selling or otherwise transferring or disposing of the Shares and
likely will may have to bear the economic risk of its investment in NextNet for
an indefinite period.

 

(k)           The Purchaser, if other than an
individual, represents that (a) the Purchaser was not organized for the
specific purpose of acquiring the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock; and (b)         this Agreement has been duly authorized
by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser, has been duly executed by
an authorized officer or representative of the Purchaser, and is a legal,
valid, and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with
its terms.

 

(l)            There is no
investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary which has been retained
by or is authorized to act on behalf of Purchaser who might be entitled to any
fee or commission from the Company or NextNet upon consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(m)          Purchaser agrees to be bound by the
transfer restrictions described in Section 3.6 of the Zamba Purchase Agreement.

 

(n)           Purchaser acknowledges that the
provisions of the Right of First Refusal Agreement shall continue to apply to
the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock owned by Purchaser.

 

(o)           Purchaser acknowledges that he or she
has already received a copy of the Investors’ Rights Agreement.  Purchaser understands that, pursuant to the
terms of the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the registration rights described in
Section 1 and the right of first offer described in Section 2.6 thereof have
not been assigned to the Purchaser by the Company.  Accordingly, the Purchaser is not entitled to any registration
rights or rights of first offer with respect to the Purchaser’s ownership of
the shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock purchased pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

4

 

(o)           Purchaser acknowledges that the
shares of Zamba’s NextNet Stock shall continue to be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Zamba Purchase Agreement, the Investors’ Rights Agreement,
