Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION -- The unaudited consolidated financial information of Rational Software Corporation (Rational), including the accounts and operating results of its newly formed venture, catapulse Inc. (catapulse), is presented in accordance with the Company's accounting policies, as described in its latest annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10- K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, have been made. As permitted by Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Operating results for the period ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000.
2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,192,000 at December 31, 1999 and $3,226,000 at March 31, 1999.
3. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE - The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
(in thousands, except per share amounts) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, December 31, ------------------- --------- --------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- --------- Numerator: Net income ....................... $25,380 $17,954 $59,398 $38,159 Denominator: Denominator for basic net income per share - weighted average shares.................... 87,800 84,269 87,072 85,727 Incremental common shares attributable to shares issuable under employee stock plans........ 7,786 6,985 7,474 5,581 --------- --------- --------- --------- Denominator for diluted net income per share - weighted average shares and assumed conversions............... 95,586 91,254 94,546 91,308 ========= ========= ========= ========= Net income per share - basic. $0.29 $0.21 $0.68 $0.45 ========= ========= ========= ========= Net income per share - diluted........................... $0.27 $0.20 $0.63 $0.42 ========= ========= ========= =========
4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - As of April 1, 1998 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's net income or stockholders' equity. SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities and foreign translation adjustments, which have been included in stockholders' equity and excluded from net income, to be included in comprehensive income.
For the three months ended December 31, 1999, total comprehensive income amounted to approximately $22,547,000 compared to a comprehensive income of $18,255,000 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended December 31, 1999, comprehensive income amounted to approximately $57,175,000 compared to comprehensive income of $38,945,000 for the same period last year.
5. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 2000. Because of the Company's limited use of derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new statement will have a significant effect on earnings or the financial position of the Company.
6. CONTINGENCIES - As reported previously, in December 1996, the Company filed suit against Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI") seeking to recover royalties due to the Company under a license agreement between SGI and the Company's predecessor in interest, Verdix Corporation. SGI answered the complaint, denying any liability, and filed a cross complaint seeking unspecified damages for alleged violations of the same license agreement. Effective August 12, 1999, the Company and SGI entered an agreement under which this litigation was settled in its entirety. The terms of this agreement are confidential. The arrangement, however, will not have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Beginning on October 10, 1997, a number of purported securities class actions were filed against the Company, two of its officers, and Cowen & Company. The cases were consolidated into one matter, Rational Software Corporation, et al., No. C 97-03740 (N.D. Cal.), pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The consolidated amended complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through the selective disclosure of material inside information regarding the Company's prospects and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a class of stockholders who purchased the Company's common stock on October 8, 1997. The Court granted with leave to amend defendants motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs' deadline to file an amended complaint is December 29, 1999. The parties have mutually agreed to extend this date to January 27, 2000. The Company believes the action is without merit and will continue to defend the case vigorously.
7. STOCK REPURCHASE - Under a program approved in October 1998, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 6 million shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market. For the nine months ended December 31, 1999 the Company repurchased 2,072,500 shares of its common stock for a total cash outlay of approximately $61.4 million. A purpose of the stock repurchase program is to offset the dilution resulting from shares issued under the Company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans. The timing and size of any future stock repurchases are subject to market conditions, stock prices, the Company's cash position and other cash requirements going forward.
8. INVESTMENT IN CATAPULSE - On December 3, 1999, the Company closed a $50,000,000 cash investment in the Series A Preferred Stock of a newly formed corporation, catapulse. In December 1999, catapulse received approximately $25,253,000 of additional funds from outside sources in exchange for equity of catapulse, which is reflected in the Rational's balance sheet as a minority interest. As of December 31, 1999, after taking into account this additional investment by a third party in catapulse, the Company's Series A Preferred Stock investment represents approximately 43% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of catapulse.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - On January 13, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of ObjecTime Limited (OTL). OTL is a developer of visual design and code generation software tools used for development of embedded software. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations will include the operating results of OTL subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company acquired all outstanding shares of OTL capital stock in exchange for approximately $9,045,000 in cash and 371,400 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company also assumed all outstanding options to purchase OTL common stock in exchange for options to purchase 358,546 shares of the Company's common stock. In December, 1997, the Company made an initial investment in OTL for approximately $9,000,000. The Company is in the process of completing its valuation of OTL's net assets and will allocate the purchase price accordingly.
Item 2 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include "forward looking" statements within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1993 and 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements about international revenue, customer acceptance, strength of the internet market, and future cash requirements, and are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. The actual future results of the Company could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. For a discussion of certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the forward looking information see "RISK FACTORS," at the end of Item 2.
The Company's revenue is derived from product license fees and charges for services, including technical consulting, training, and customer support. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company generally recognizes software license revenues when a customer purchase order has been received and accepted, the software product has been shipped, there are no uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable, and collection is considered probable. Revenue from consulting and training is recognized when earned. The Company's license agreements generally do not provide a right of return, and reserves are maintained for potential credit losses, of which historically there have been only immaterial amounts.
Comparative Analysis of Operating Results for the Three- and Nine-Months Ended December 31, 1999
Total revenue for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1999 increased 34% and 37%, respectively from the comparable prior year periods.
Net product revenue for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 increased 33% and 37%, respectively from the comparable prior year periods. Consulting and support revenue for both the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 increased 35% and 36%, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods. This increase reflects continued strong customer acceptance across the majority of the Company's products and services to e-development customers.
International revenue from product sales and consulting and customer support accounted for 41% of total revenue for both the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999, compared to 41% and 37%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. The Company expects international sales to continue to account for a significant portion of total revenue in future periods, although the percentage of international revenues could fluctuate from period to period due to economic or other factors in international regions. The Company's international sales are principally priced in local currencies. The Company enters into short-term forward currency contracts to hedge against the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on balance sheet exposures denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries. The total amount of these contracts is approximately offset by the underlying assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies and such contracts are carried at fair market value. The associated gains and losses were not material to the Company's results of operations in any period presented. See "Our international operations expose us to greater management, collections, currency, intellectual property, regulatory and other risks," at the end of Item 2.
Cost of product revenue consists principally of materials, packaging and freight, amortization of developed technology and royalties. Cost of product revenue for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 increased 49% and 19%, respectively from the comparable prior year periods. These costs represented 8% of total product revenue for both the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999, as compared to 7% and 9%, respectively for the comparable prior year periods. The increase in product cost as a percentage of certain product revenue in the three-month period ended December 31, 1999 was due mainly to a higher royalty expense associated with the sale of ObjecTime products. The decrease in product cost as a percentage of certain product revenue in the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999 was due mainly to a higher level of materials cost associated with new product releases in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
Cost of consulting and support revenue consists principally of personnel costs for training, consulting and customer support. Cost of consulting and support revenue for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 increased 39% and 31%, respectively from the comparable prior year periods. These costs represented 26% of total consulting and support revenue for both the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999, as compared to 26% and 27%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in cost as a percentage of related revenue is primarily due to the impact of a relatively fixed support cost base servicing increased revenues.
Total expenditures for research and development increased 33% and 38%, respectively, for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 from the comparable prior year periods. These costs represented 17% and 18%, respectively, of total revenue for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 compared to 17% and 18%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. The increase in year over year research and development expense is due primarily to the cost of additional personnel and related costs, and additional investment in department infrastructure incurred to maintain and enhance existing products as well as develop new products.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 20% and 27% for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 from the comparable prior year periods. These costs represented 37% and 40% of total revenue for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 compared to 42% for both the same periods last year. The increase in year over year sales and marketing expense reflects increases in personnel and related costs as well as increased promotional activities. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue is a result of the increasing economies of scale as a result of increases in total revenue.
General and administrative expense increased 58% and 40%, respectively, for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 from the comparable prior year periods. These costs represented 9% of total revenue for both the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 as compared to 8% for both the comparable prior year periods. The increase in year over year general and administrative expense is due primarily to cost of additional personnel and related costs, and to increased investment in the Company's information technology infrastructure needed to support the growing requirements of the Company.
Other income, net consists primarily of interest income, interest expense and gains and losses due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Other income has fluctuated as a result of the amount of cash available for investment in interest-bearing instruments and from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Other income, net increased $372,000 and decreased $948,000, respectively, for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 from the comparable prior year periods. The current year decrease is due primarily to a lower average amount of invested cash resulting from repurchase of Company stock during the six month period ended September 1999, combined with an increase in tax exempt investments.
The provision for income taxes for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 1999 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the profit before income taxes and includes federal, state and foreign income taxes. The effective tax rates for fiscal 2000 and 1999 differ from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of international income subject to a lower overall tax rate, investment in tax exempt securities, and research credits. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 decreased from fiscal 1999 as a result of increased investment in tax exempt securities and increased international income subject to lower overall rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources at September 30, 1999
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $348,036,000 and working capital of $311,001,000. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 was composed primarily of operating income and increases in accrued employee benefits and other accrued expenses, taxes payable, and deferred revenue, offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued merger costs. Net cash provided by investing activities resulted primarily from a minority investment in catapulse, and a higher level of maturities and sales of short-term investments, offset by an increase in capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of employee stock options offset by the repurchase of common stock.
Under a program approved in October 1998, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock from time to time in the open market. For the nine months ended December 31, 1999 the Company repurchased 2,072,500 shares of its common stock for a total cash outlay of approximately $61,363,000. A purpose of the stock repurchase program is to offset the dilution resulting from shares issued under the Company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans. The timing and size of any future stock repurchases are subject to market conditions, stock prices and the Company's cash position and other cash requirements going forward.
The Company believes that expected cash flow from operations combined with existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
Significant unanticipated fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and operating results may cause us not to meet securities analysts' or investors' expectations and may result in a decline in the price of our common stock and the notes.
Our net revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. If our revenues, operating results, earnings or future projections are below the levels expected by securities analysts, our stock price is likely to decline.
Factors that may cause quarterly fluctuations in our operating results include:
- the discretionary nature of our customers' purchase and budget cycles;
- difficulty predicting the size and timing of customer orders;
- long sales cycles;
- seasonal variations in operating results;
- introduction or enhancement of our products or our competitors' products;
- changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors;
- an increase in our operating costs;
- whether we are able to expand our sales and marketing programs;
- the mix of our products and services sold;
- the level of sales incentives for our direct sales force;
- the mix of sales channels through which our products and services are sold;
- the mix of our domestic and international sales;
- an increase in the level of our product returns;
- fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
- costs associated with acquisitions; and
- global economic conditions.
In addition, the timing of our product revenues is difficult to predict because our sales cycles vary substantially from product to product and customer to customer. We base our operating expenses on our expectations regarding future revenue levels. As a result, if total revenues for a particular quarter are below our expectations, we could not proportionately reduce operating expenses for that quarter. Therefore, a revenue shortfall would have a disproportionate effect on our operating results for that quarter. In addition, because our service revenue is largely correlated with our license revenue, a decline in license revenue could also cause a decline in our service revenue in the same quarter or subsequent quarters.
As a result of these and other factors, our operating results are subject to significant variation from quarter to quarter, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily useful. If our operating results are below investors or securities analysts' expectations, the price of our common stock, and therefore the notes could decline significantly.
If market acceptance of our sophisticated software development tools fails to grow adequately, our business may suffer.
Our future growth and financial performance will depend in part on broad market acceptance of off-the-shelf products that address critical elements of the software development process. Currently the number of software developers using our products is relatively small compared with the number of developers using more traditional technology and products, internally developed tools or manual approaches. Potential customers may be unwilling to make the significant capital investment needed to purchase our products and retrain their software developers to build software using our products rather than traditional techniques. Many of our customers have purchased only small quantities of the our products, and these or new customers may decide not to broadly implement or purchase additional units of our products.
If industry standards relating to our business do not gain general acceptance, we may be unable to continue to develop and market our products and our business may suffer.
Our future growth and financial performance depends on the development of industry standards that facilitate the adoption of component-based development, as well as our ability to play a leading role in the establishment of those standards. For example, we developed the Unified Modeling Language for visual modeling, which was adopted by the Object Management Group, or OMG, a software industry consortium, for inclusion in its object analysis and design facility specification. The official sanction in the future of a competing standard by the OMG or the promulgation of a competing standard by one or more major platform vendors could harm our marketing and sales efforts and, in turn, our business.
If we do not develop and enhance new and existing products to keep pace with technological, market and industry changes, our revenues may decline.
The industry for tools automating software application development and management is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to technology developments, industry standards or practices and customer requirements, or if we experience any significant delays in product development, introduction or integration, our products may become obsolete or unmarketable, our ability to compete may be impaired and our revenues may decline. We must respond rapidly to developments related to Internet and intranet applications, hardware platforms, operating systems and programming languages. These developments will require us to make substantial product-development investments.
In addition, rapid growth of, interest in, and use of Internet and intranet environments is a recent and emerging phenomenon. Our success may depend, in part, on the compatibility of our products with Internet and intranet applications. We may fail to effectively adapt our products for use in Internet or intranet environments, or to produce competitive Internet and intranet applications.
If we do not effectively compete with new and existing competitors, our revenues and operating margins will decline.
The industry for tools that automate software development and management is extremely competitive and rapidly changing. We expect competition to intensify in the future. We believe our continued success will become increasingly dependent on our ability to:
- support multiple platforms, including Microsoft Windows and Windows NT, IBM, commercial Unix and Linux;
- use the latest technologies to support Web-based development of business-critical applications;
- develop and market a broader line of products for programming languages such as C++, Visual Basic, Java, Visual Java++ and Java Beans; and
- continually support the rapidly changing standards and technologies used in the development of Web-based applications as well as off-the-shelf products.
We face intense competition for each of our products, generally from both Windows and UNIX vendors. Because individual product sales often lead to a broader customer relationship, each of our products must be able to successfully compete with numerous competitors' offerings. Many of our competitors or potential competitors are much larger than us and may have significantly more resources and more experience. Moreover, many of our strategic partners compete with each other and this may adversely impact our relationship with an individual partner or a number of partners.
The recent formation of catapulse, a new Internet company by our founders, could divert the attention of our management away from our business and affairs and create potential conflicts of interest.
On December 3, 1999, we closed a $50,000,000 investment in the Series A Preferred Stock of catapulse, founded by Paul Levy and Mike Devlin. As of December 31, 1999, after taking into account additional investments by third parties in catapulse, our Series A Preferred Stock represented approximately 43% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of this entity. Paul Levy serves as its Chief Executive Officer and Mike Devlin serves as the Vice-Chairman of the board of directors. catapulse's board of directors is made up of five directors. Rational has the right to designate two of the members of its board of directors. As of the date hereof, four of its board of directors also serve on our board of directors. Paul Levy and Mike Devlin will continue in their roles as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. catapulse is a business-to-business application service provider that will focus on developing a portal to meet the needs of the global community of software professionals. catapulse also intends to develop an electronic marketplace for products and services relating to software development and intends to develop and deploy a hosted development service for Internet software development. Rational and catapulse intend to enter into a strategic business relationship on terms negotiated at arms-length. This strategic relationship could give rise to conflicts of interest involving the two companies and the founders in the future. In addition, catapulse could divert the attention of Paul Levy and Mike Devlin away from the business and affairs of Rational.
If we are unable to manage our growth, our business will suffer.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent years. This growth has placed a significant strain on our financial, operational, management, marketing and sales systems and resources. If we are unable to effectively manage growth, our business, competitive position, results of operations and financial condition could suffer.
To achieve and manage continued growth, we must continue to expand and upgrade our information-technology infrastructure and its scalability, including improvements to various operations, financial, and management information systems, and expand, train and manage our workforce. We may not be successful in implementing these initiatives effectively and in a timely fashion.
Our international operations expose us to greater management, collections, currency, intellectual property, regulatory and other risks.
International sales accounted for approximately 40% of our revenues in fiscal 1999, 34% in 1998, and 27% in 1997. We expect that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues in future periods. Our business would be harmed if our international operations experienced a material downturn. In addition, international sales are subject to inherent risks, including:
- unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs;
- unexpected changes in global economic conditions;
- difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
- longer payment cycles;
- greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection;
- potentially adverse tax consequences;
- price controls or other restrictions on foreign currency;
- difficulties in obtaining export and import licenses;
- costs of localizing products for some markets;
- lack of acceptance of localized products in international markets; and
- the effects of high local wage scales and other expenses.
Our international sales are generally transacted through our international sales subsidiaries. The revenues generated by these subsidiaries, as well as their local expenses, are generally denominated in local currencies. Accordingly, the functional currency of each international sales subsidiary is the local currency. We have engaged in limited hedging activities to protect us against losses arising from remeasuring assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the related subsidiary. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact our overall expected profitability. We currently do not hedge against this exposure. Fluctuations in foreign currencies could harm our financial condition and operating results.
We are subject to risks associated with the European monetary conversion.
In January 1999, the new ''Euro'' currency was introduced in certain European countries that are part of the European Monetary Union, or EMU. During 2002, all EMU countries are expected to begin operating with the Euro as their single currency. A significant amount of uncertainty exists as to the effect the Euro will have on the marketplace generally and, additionally, all of the final rules and regulations have not yet been defined and finalized by the European Commission with regard to the Euro currency. We are currently assessing the effect the introduction of the Euro will have on internal accounting systems and the sales of products. We are not aware of any material operational issues or costs associated with preparing internal systems for the Euro. However, we do utilize third-party vendor equipment and software products that may or may not be EMU-compliant. The failure of any critical components to operate properly after introduction of the Euro may harm our business or results of operations or require additional costs to remedy these problems.
If we lose key personnel or cannot hire enough qualified personnel, our ability to manage our business, develop new products and increase our revenues will suffer.
We believe that the hiring and retaining of qualified individuals at all levels in our organization will be essential to our ability to sustain and manage growth successfully. Competition for highly qualified technical personnel is intense and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining the necessary personnel, which may limit the rate at which we can develop products and generate sales. We will be particularly dependent on the efforts and abilities of our senior management personnel. The departure of any of our senior management members or other key personnel could harm our business. Merger activities can be accompanied or followed by the departure of key personnel, which can compound the difficulty of integrating the operations of the parties to the business combination.
If we fail to maintain and expand our distribution channels, our business will suffer.
We currently distribute our products primarily through field sales personnel teamed with highly trained technical support personnel as well as through our telesales organizations, our Web site and indirectly through channels such as value-added resellers and distributors. Our ability to achieve revenue growth in the future will depend in large part on our success in expanding our direct sales force and in maintaining a high level of technical consulting, training and customer support.
We depend on strategic relationships and business alliances for continued growth of our business.
Our development, marketing and distribution strategies rely increasingly on our ability to form long-term strategic relationships with major software and hardware vendors, many of whom are substantially larger than us. These business relationships often consist of cooperative marketing programs, joint customer seminars, lead referrals or joint development projects. Although certain aspects of some of these relationships are contractual in nature, many important aspects of these relationships depend on the continued cooperation of each party with us. Merger activity, such as the acquisition of ObjecTime Ltd., may disrupt these relationships or activities, and some companies may reassess the value of their relationship with us as a result of this merger activity. Divergence in strategy or change in focus by or competitive product offerings by, any of these companies may interfere with our ability to develop, market, sell, or support our products, which in turn could harm our business. In addition, one or more of these companies may use the information they gain from their relationship with us to develop or market competing products.
Our products could contain software defects that could reduce our revenues and make it more difficult for us to achieve market acceptance of our products.
Software products as complex as those sold by us often contain undetected errors, or ''bugs,'' or performance problems. These defects are most frequently found during the period immediately following the introduction of new products or enhancements to existing products. Despite extensive product testing prior to introduction, our products have in the past contained software errors that were discovered after commercial introduction. Errors or performance problems may also be discovered in the future. Any future software defects discovered after shipment of our products could result in loss of revenues or delays in market acceptance, which could harm our business. Further, because we rely on our own products in connection with the development of our software, these errors may make it more difficult to sell our products in the future.
If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, competitors may use our technology and trademarks, which could weaken our competitive position, reduce our revenues and increase our costs.
We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, patent, and trade- secret laws, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products that compete against ours. In addition, some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer, and disclosure of our licensed programs may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions and foreign countries.
In addition, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. To the extent that we increase our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying and use of our products and proprietary information will increase.
The scope of United States patent protection in the software industry is not well-defined and will evolve as the United States Patent and Trademark Office grants additional patents. Because patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications may have been filed that would relate to our products.
We rely on software licensed from third parties that is used in our products.
We also rely on some software that we license from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. These third-party software licenses may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Further, the software may not be appropriately supported, maintained or enhanced by the licensors. The loss of licenses to or the inability to support, maintain and enhance any of this software could result in increased costs or in delays or reductions in our product shipments until equivalent software could be developed, identified, licensed and integrated.
Third parties could assert that our software products and services infringe their intellectual property rights, which could expose us to increased costs and litigation.
We expect that we will be increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future and their claims may or may not be successful. We could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves and our customers against their claims. Parties making their claims may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could effectively block our ability to sell our products in the United States and abroad and could result in an award of substantial damages against us. In the event of a claim of infringement, we may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We cannot be sure that we can obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable cost or at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any required license could delay shipment of our products and increase our costs.
Year 2000 issues could negatively affect our business.
Although to date we have not experienced any material problems attributable to the year 2000 problem with respect to our software products and internal systems, it is possible that our current products could contain undetected errors or defects associated with year 2000 date functions that may result in material costs or liabilities to us in the future. Moreover, our software directly and indirectly interacts with a large number of third party hardware and software systems, each of which may contain or introduce undetected errors or defects. We are unable to predict to what extent our business may be affected if our software or the systems that operate in conjunction with our software experience a material year 2000 related failure. Any year 2000 defect in our products or the software and hardware systems with which our products operate, as well as any year 2000 errors caused by older non- current products that were not upgraded by our customers, could expose us to litigation that could require us to incur significant costs in defending the litigation or expose us to the risk of significant damages. The risks of this litigation may be particularly acute due to the mission-critical applications for which our products are used.
Promotional product versions may adversely impact our actual product sales.
Our marketing strategy relies in part on making elements of our technology available for no charge or at a very low price, either directly or by incorporating these elements into products offered by third parties, such as Microsoft, with whom we have strategic alliances. This strategy is designed to expose our products to a broader customer base than our historical customer base and to encourage potential customers to purchase an upgrade or other higher-priced product from us. We may not be able to introduce enhancements to our full-price products or versions of our products with intermediate functionality at a rate necessary to adequately differentiate them from the promotional versions, particularly in cases where our partners are distributing versions of our products with other desirable features, which could reduce sales of our products.
If we cannot successfully integrate our past and future acquisitions and achieve intended financial or strategic benefits, our revenues may decline and our expenses may increase.
We have acquired a number of businesses, technologies and products, most recently in January 2000. If we fail to achieve the intended financial or strategic benefits of past and future acquisitions, our operating results will suffer. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including:
- difficulty with the assimilation of acquired operations and products;
- failure to achieve targeted synergies;
- inability to retain key employees of the acquired companies;
- loss of key business relationships of the acquired company; and
- diversion of the attention of our management team.
In addition, if we undertake future acquisitions, we may issue dilutive securities, assume or incur additional debt obligations, incur large one-time expenses or acquire intangible assets that would result in significant future amortization expense. Any of these events could harm our business.
The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which may result in losses for investors.
The market price for our common stock may be volatile. We expect our stock price to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These include:
- actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
- announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;
- changes in earnings estimates by securities' analysts;
- statements by securities' analysts regarding our announced acquisitions;
- conditions or treends in the software industry; and
- changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other software and high-technology companies.
Because of the volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts at some time in the future, and our stock could decline as a result.
ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, the Company employs established policies and procedures to manage its exposure to changes in known or forecasted currency exchange rates and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Foreign Currency Risk
A portion of the Company's business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in the value of major foreign currencies relative to the local or "functional" currency of the Company or its subsidiaries may adversely effect operating results. The Company enters into short-term forward foreign exchange contracts designed to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on balance sheet exposures denominated in currencies other than the "functional" currency. The total amount of these contracts is approximately offset by the underlying assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Forward contracts are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis with realized and unrealized gains or losses recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Such contracts meet the criteria established in FAS 52 for hedge accounting treatment. As the Company finds it impractical to hedge all foreign currency exposures, the Company will continue to experience foreign currency gains and losses. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor does it hold or issue leveraged derivative financial instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in
interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investment portfolio.
All the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments are
classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at amounts that
approximate fair value. Unrecognized gains and losses and declines in
value judged to be other than temporary on available-for-sale
securities are included in other income. The cost of securities sold is
based on the specific identification method.
PART II - Other Information
ITEM 1 - Legal Proceedings
In December 1996, the Company filed suit against Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI") seeking to recover royalties due to the Company under a license agreement between SGI and the Company's predecessor in interest, Verdix Corporation. SGI answered the complaint, denying any liability, and filed a cross complaint seeking unspecified damages for alleged violations of the same license agreement. Effective August 12, 1999, the Company and SGI entered an agreement under which this litigation was settled in its entirety. The terms of this agreement are confidential. The arrangement, however, will not have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Beginning on October 10, 1997, a number of purported securities class actions were filed against the Company, two of its officers, and Cowen & Company. The cases were consolidated into one matter, Rational Software Corporation, et al., No. C 97-03740 (N.D. Cal.), pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The consolidated amended complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through the selective disclosure of material inside information regarding the Company's prospects and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a class of stockholders who purchased the Company's common stock on October 8, 1997. The Court granted with leave to amend defendants motion to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs' deadline to file an amended complaint is December 29, 1999. The parties have mutually agreed to extend this date to January 27, 2000. The Company believes the action is without merit and will continue to defend the case vigorously.

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT This Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is made as of October 18, 1999 by and among DevClick.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Rational Software Corporation (the "Purchasers"). In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: SECTION 1 AUTHORIZATION AND SALE OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK 1.1 Authorization of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company has authorized the sale and issuance to the Purchaser of up to 80,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of its Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred"), having the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions as set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Restated Certificate"). 1.2 Sale and Issuance of Series A Preferred. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will severally issue and sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser will severally buy from the Company up to 80,000,000 Shares at a per share purchase price of $0.625 (the "Per Share Price"), and at the aggregate purchase price of up to $50,000,000. SECTION 2 CLOSING DATES; DELIVERY 2.1 Closing Date. It is anticipated that purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder shall be consummated at a closing (the "Closing") held at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California within 45 days of the signing of this Agreement, or at such other date, time and place upon which the Company and the Purchasers shall agree (the date and time of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date"). 2.2 Delivery and Payment. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser a certificate or certificates, registered in the Purchaser's name, representing the number of Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser at the Closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor, by check payable to the Company, by wire transfer per the Company's instructions, or by any combination of the foregoing. SECTION 3 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as of the Closing Date at which the Purchaser consummate its purchase of Shares hereunder: 3.1 Organization and Standing; Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is presently qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in California and there is no other jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. The Company has furnished the counsel for the Purchasers with copies of its Restated Certificate and Bylaws. Said copies are true, correct and complete and reflect all amendments now in effect. 3.2 Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Investor Rights Agreement" and, together with this Agreement, the "Investment Agreements"), to sell and issue the Shares hereunder, to issue the underlying Common Stock (the "Conversion Stock") in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Investment Agreements. 3.3 Subsidiaries. The Company has no subsidiaries and does not otherwise own or control, directly or indirectly, any equity interest in any corporation, association or business entity. 3.4 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 80,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, all of which have been designated Series A Preferred Stock. As of the date hereof, the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is 20,000,000. Immediately prior to the Closing, 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock will be outstanding. The Series A Preferred shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Restated Certificate. All currently outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and have been issued in compliance with applicable securities laws. The Company has reserved 80,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred for issuance hereunder and 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred. Of the 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company reserved for issuance under the Company's 1999 Stock Plan, no options to purchase shares have been granted, and 25,000,000 shares remain available for future option grants. Except as set forth above and as provided in the Company's Restated Certificate and the Schedule of Exceptions, there are no options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire any of the Company's authorized and unissued capital stock. 3.5 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Investment Agreements by the Company, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares and the Conversion Stock and the performance of the Company's obligations under the Investment Agreements has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. The Investment Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation as to the enforceability of the indemnification provisions contained in the Investor Rights Agreement. The Shares, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions described in the Restated Certificate; the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares has been duly and validly reserved and, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and the Shares and the Conversion Stock will be free of any liens or encumbrances (assuming the Purchaser takes the Shares with no notice thereof) other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the holders; provided, however, that the Shares and the Conversion Stock may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state or federal securities laws and restrictions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement. The issuance of the Shares is not subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal. 3.6 Proprietary Rights. The Company has title and ownership of, or full right to use, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, information, proprietary rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and, to the Company's knowledge, without any conflict with or infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, 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, proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity. The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as currently conducted, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade proprietary rights of any other person or entity. To the knowledge of the Company, none 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 the use of his or her best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company's business as currently conducted. Neither the execution and delivery of the Investment 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 currently conducted, 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 of such employees is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any of its employees (or people it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company. 3.7 Registration Rights.

"Registrable Securities" means (i) the Conversion Stock and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued or issuable in respect of any of the foregoing upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event; provided, however, that securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and so long as (x) they have not been registered or sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction and (y) the registration rights with respect to such securities have not terminated pursuant to Section 5.10. The terms "register," "registered" and "registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement.

Restrictions on Transferability. The Preferred Stock, the Conversion Stock and any other securities issued in respect of such stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event, shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each Holder or transferee will cause any proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee or pledgee of any such shares held by the Holder or transferee to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the restrictions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement. 3. Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the Preferred Stock, the Conversion Stock or any other securities issued in respect of such stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 4 below) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following form (in addition to any legends required by agreement or by applicable state securities laws): THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS OTHERWISE UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF THE COMPANY FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES. Each Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving stop transfer instructions to any transfer agent of its capital stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Agreement. 4. Notice of Proposed Transfers. The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 4. Without in any way limiting the immediately preceding sentence, no sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of Restricted Securities shall be made by any holder thereof to any person unless such person shall first agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions of this Agreement. Prior to any proposed sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transfer, the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such holder's intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and, if requested by the Company, the holder shall also provide, at such holder's expense, either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall be, and whose legal opinion shall be, reasonably satisfactory to the Company addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "no action" letter from the Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not request an opinion of counsel or "no action" letter with respect to (i) a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership, (ii) a transaction involving the distribution without consideration of Restricted Securities by the holder to its constituent partners or members in proportion to their ownership interests in the holder, or (iii) a transaction involving the transfer without consideration of Restricted Securities by an individual holder during such holder's lifetime by way of gift or on death by will or intestacy. Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 3 above, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if in the opinion of counsel for such holder and counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provision of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each holder of Restricted Securities agrees that it will not request that a transfer of the Restricted Securities be made or that the legend set forth in Section 3 be removed from the certificate representing the Restricted Securities, solely in reliance on Rule 144(k), if as a result thereof the Company would be rendered subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. 5. Registration. 5.1 Requested Registration. (a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to shares of Registrable Securities, the Company will: (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration as part of a firm commitment underwritten public offering with underwriters reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holders and the Company (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request by delivering a written notice to such effect to the Company within twenty days after the date of such written notice from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect or complete any such registration pursuant to this Section 5.1: (A) Prior to the earlier of (i) one year after the effective date of the Company's first registered public offering of its Common Stock or (ii) five years from the date hereof; (B) Unless the requested registration would have an aggregate offering price of all Registrable Securities sought to be registered by all Holders, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, exceeding $5,000,000; (C) Following the filing of, and for 180 days immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (D) After the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) in which the Initiating Holders were able to sell at least 50% of the Registrable Securities sought to be included and such registration has been declared or ordered effective; (E) If the Initiating Holders are able to request a registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof; (F) Within twelve months after the Company has effected such a registration pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), and such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or (G) If the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company (i) giving notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission, or (ii) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future. In such case, the Company's obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register, qualify or comply under this Section 5.1(a) shall be deferred one or more times for a period not to exceed 180 days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Initiating Holder or Holders, provided that the Company may not exercise this deferral right more than once per twelve-month period. Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (G), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders. (b) Underwriting. In the event of a registration pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company shall advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(i) that the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in the underwriting arrangements required by this Section 5.1, and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein. The Company shall, together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, but subject to the Company's reasonable approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration (i) in the case of the Company's initial public offering, to zero, and (ii) in the case of any other offering, to an amount no less than 33% of all shares requested to be included in such offering. The Company shall so advise all Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by them at the time of filing the registration statement. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company. 5.2 Company Registration. (a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities, either for its own account or the account of a Holder or other holders, other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (ii) a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, or (iii) a registration in which the only equity security being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt securities which are also being registered, the Company will: (i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and (ii) include in such registration (and any related qualifications including compliance with Blue Sky laws), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within ten days after the date of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder. (b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration (i) in the case of the Company's initial public offering, to zero, and (ii) in the case of any other offering, to an amount no less than 33% of all shares to be included in such offering. The Company shall so advise all Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all the Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by them at the time of filing the registration statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company. (c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. 5.3 Registration on Form S-3. (a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities the aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $3,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form and to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as such Holder or Holders may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one registration pursuant to this Section 5.3 in any twelve-month period. If such offer is to be an underwritten offer, the underwriters must be acceptable to both the Initiating Holders and the Company. The Company shall inform the other Holders of the proposed registration and offer them the opportunity to participate. In the event the registration is proposed to be part of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the substantive provisions of Section 5.1(b) shall be applicable to each such registration initiated under this Section 5.3. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.3: (i) Following the filing of, and for 180 days immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) Within twelve months after the Company has effected such a registration pursuant to this Section 5.3(a), and such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or (iii) If the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company (i) giving notice of its bonafide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission, or (ii) stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company's obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred one or more times for a period not to exceed 180 days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Initiating Holder or Holders, provided that the Company may not exercise this deferral right more than once per twelve-month period. 5.4 Subsequent Registration Rights. (a) Without the consent of any holder of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company may grant to any holder of securities of the Company registration rights inferior to those granted hereunder. (b) The Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights superior to or on a pari passu basis with the rights granted the Purchasers hereunder without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without obtaining any further consent of the holders of Registrable Securities, amend this Agreement to the extent necessary to grant rights and obligations on a pari passu basis with the rights and obligations of the Purchasers to investors in any subsequent round of financing with respect to the securities purchased by such investors in such financing. 5.5 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with (i) two registrations pursuant to Section 5.1, (ii) all registrations pursuant to Section 5.2, and (iii) all registrations pursuant to Section 5.3, shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Initiating Holders cause the Company to begin a registration pursuant to Section 5.1, and the request for such registration is subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders or such registration is not completed due to failure to meet the net proceeds requirement set forth in such section or is otherwise not successfully completed due to no fault of the Company, all Holders shall be deemed to have forfeited their right to one registration under Section 5.1 unless the Initiating Holders pay for, or reimburse the Company for, the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with such withdrawn or incomplete registration. Unless otherwise stated, all Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders and all other registration expenses shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered or proposed to be so registered. 5.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of such registration and as to the completion thereof. The Company will: (a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement and such amendments and supplements as may be necessary and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least 90 days or until the distribution described in the registration statement has been completed, whichever first occurs; and (b) Furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities. 5.7 Indemnification. (a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers and directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder or controlling person, and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a preliminary prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the registration statement becomes effective or the amended prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder, if a copy of the Final Prospectus was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act, and if the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to the loss, liability, claim or damage. (b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, other holders of the Company's securities covered by such registration statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Holder of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Holder, and will reimburse the Company, such other Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, but in the case of the Company or the other Holders or their officers, directors or controlling persons, only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Holder under this subsection 5.7(b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the initial public offering price of the shares sold by such Holder, unless such liability arises out of or is based on willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder. (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.7 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or there are separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained on the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 5.8 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement. 5.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; (b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and (c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, to furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without registration. 5.10 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights granted pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement shall terminate as to any Holder upon the earlier of (i) the date four years after the effective date of the Company's initial public offering and (ii) the date such Holder is able to immediately sell all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder under Rule 144 during any 90-day period. 6. Financial Information Rights. (a) The Company will provide the following documents to each Purchaser who continues to hold at least the lesser of (A) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Stock (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like) or (B) fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Stock initially acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like): (i) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, and in any event within 90 days after the end of each such fiscal year, consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such fiscal year, and consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows and stockholders' equity of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such year, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and audited by independent public accountants of national standing selected by the Company, and a capitalization table in reasonable detail for such fiscal year; (ii) As soon as practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company and in any event within 60 days thereafter, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of each such quarterly period, and consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such period and for the current fiscal year to date, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (other than accompanying notes), subject to changes resulting from year-end audit adjustments, in reasonable detail and signed by the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, and a capitalization table in reasonable detail for such quarterly period, and such other documents generally distributed or made available to the Company's stockholders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide information which it deems in good faith to be proprietary or confidential. (iii) Such other documents generally distributed or made available to the Company's stockholders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide information which it deems in good faith to be proprietary or confidential. (b) For purposes of determining the minimum holdings pursuant to this Section 6, any Purchaser which is a partnership or limited liability company shall be deemed to hold any Preferred Stock originally purchased by such Purchaser and subsequently distributed to constituent partners or members of such Purchaser, but which have not been resold by such partners or members. If the partnership or limited liability company is still in existence, the Company may satisfy any obligation to distribute reports to individual partners of the partnership or members of a limited liability company by delivering a single copy of each report to the partnership or limited liability company as agent for the constituent partners or members. (c) Each Purchaser or transferee of rights under this Section 6 acknowledges and agrees that any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6 which may be considered nonpublic information will be maintained in confidence by such Purchaser or transferee and will not be utilized by such Purchaser or transferee in connection with purchases or sales of the Company's securities except in compliance with applicable state and Federal securities laws. (d) The covenants of the Company set forth in this Section 6 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) the closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering; or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger or consolidation resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company for securities or consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or its subsidiary, unless the stockholders of the Company hold at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation in such a transaction. 7. Lock-Up Agreement. Each Purchaser, Holder and transferee hereby agrees that, in connection with the first two registrations of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act for the account of the Company, if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing Underwriter"), such Purchaser, Holder or transferee shall not sell or otherwise transfer any securities of the Company during the period specified by the Company's Board of Directors at the request of the Managing Underwriter (the "Market Standoff Period"), with such period not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to place similar contractual lock-up restrictions on all capital stock issued now or hereafter to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and holders of registration rights with respect to capital stock of the Company. 8. Right of First Refusal. (a) The Company hereby grants to each Purchaser the right of first refusal to purchase its Pro Rata Share of New Securities (as defined in this Section 8) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A "Pro Rata Share," for purposes of this right of first refusal, equals the proportion that the total number of shares of Common Stock then held by such Purchaser plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock then held by such Purchaser bears to the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all then outstanding securities exercisable for or convertible into, directly or indirectly, Common Stock. (b) Except as set forth below, "New Securities" shall mean any shares of capital stock of the Company, including Common Stock and any series of preferred stock, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable for said shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "New Securities" does not include stock issued and issuable: (i) upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock; (ii) to an employee, consultant or director pursuant to stock option, stock grant, stock purchase or similar plans and arrangements approved by the Board of Directors; (iii) to an equipment lessor, bank, financial institution or similar entity in a transaction approved by the Board of Directors, the principal purpose of which is other than the raising of capital; (iv) as a dividend or other distribution; (v) in a Qualified Initial Public Offering; (vi) in a merger or acquisition that is approved by the Board of Directors; (vii) pursuant to any transaction approved by the Board of Directors primarily for the purpose of (A) a joint venture, technology licensing or research and development activity, (B) distribution or manufacture of the Company's products or services, or (C) any other transaction involving corporate partners that is primarily for purposes other than raising capital; (viii) if the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities agree in writing that such shares shall not constitute New Securities; or (ix) upon exercise or conversion of securities with respect to which the Purchasers previously had an opportunity to exercise the right of first refusal pursuant to this Section 8. (c) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the amount and type of New Securities, and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Purchaser shall have ten days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to its respective Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. (d) Beginning ten days after the notice given pursuant to Section 8(c) above, the Company shall have 180 days to sell the New Securities not elected or eligible to be purchased by Purchasers at the price and upon the terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified in the Company's notice. In the event the Company has not sold all of the New Securities within said 180-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities in the manner provided above. (e) The provisions of this Section 8 will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering, or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger or consolidation resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company for securities or consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or its subsidiary, unless the stockholders of the Company hold at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation in such a transaction. 9. Employment, Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreements. The Company will maintain a policy requiring each person now or hereafter employed by it or any subsidiary with access to confidential information to enter into an Employment, Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement substantially in a form approved by the Board of Directors. 10. Transfer of Rights. The rights granted under Sections 5, 6 and 8 of this Agreement may be assigned to any transferee or assignee, other than a competitor or potential competitor of the Company (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) in connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by the Holder, provided that: (i) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement; (ii) such assignee or transferee acquires at least the lesser of (A) 10,000,000 shares (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and the like) of Registrable Securities (including Preferred Stock convertible into Registrable Securities) or (B) fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and the like) initially acquired by the transferring Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including Preferred Stock convertible into Registrable Securities), (iii) written notice is promptly given to the Company; and (iv) such transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to the Purchasers hereunder may be assigned without compliance with item (ii) above to any constituent partner or member of a Purchaser which is a partnership or limited liability company, or to an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of a Purchaser which is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company. 11. Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein, additional parties may be added to this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with Section 5.4 or Section 11, as applicable, shall be binding upon each Purchaser, Holder of Registrable Securities at the time outstanding, each future holder of any of such securities, and the Company. 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of laws provisions. 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and Agreement among the parties regarding the matters set forth herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. 14.

"Common Stock" means the common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share. "Conversion Stock" means the Company's Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to conversion of the Preferred Stock. "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar federal rule or statute and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect at the time. "Holder" means (i) any purchaser holding Registrable Securities and (ii) any person holding Registrable Securities to whom the rights under this Agreement have been transferred in accordance with Section 11 hereof.

Restrictions on Transferability. The Preferred Stock, the Conversion Stock and any other securities issued in respect of such stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event, shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each Holder or transferee will cause any proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee or pledgee of any such shares held by the Holder or transferee to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the restrictions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement. 3. Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the Preferred Stock, the Conversion Stock or any other securities issued in respect of such stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 4 below) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following form (in addition to any legends required by agreement or by applicable state securities laws): THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS OTHERWISE UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT OF THE COMPANY FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES. Each Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving stop transfer instructions to any transfer agent of its capital stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Agreement. 4. Notice of Proposed Transfers. The holder of each certificate representing Restricted Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 4. Without in any way limiting the immediately preceding sentence, no sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of Restricted Securities shall be made by any holder thereof to any person unless such person shall first agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions of this Agreement. Prior to any proposed sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transfer, the holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such holder's intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and, if requested by the Company, the holder shall also provide, at such holder's expense, either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall be, and whose legal opinion shall be, reasonably satisfactory to the Company addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "no action" letter from the Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not request an opinion of counsel or "no action" letter with respect to (i) a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership, (ii) a transaction involving the distribution without consideration of Restricted Securities by the holder to its constituent partners or members in proportion to their ownership interests in the holder, or (iii) a transaction involving the transfer without consideration of Restricted Securities by an individual holder during such holder's lifetime by way of gift or on death by will or intestacy. Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 3 above, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if in the opinion of counsel for such holder and counsel for the Company such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provision of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each holder of Restricted Securities agrees that it will not request that a transfer of the Restricted Securities be made or that the legend set forth in Section 3 be removed from the certificate representing the Restricted Securities, solely in reliance on Rule 144(k), if as a result thereof the Company would be rendered subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. 5. Registration. 5.1 Requested Registration. (a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to shares of Registrable Securities, the Company will: (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration as part of a firm commitment underwritten public offering with underwriters reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holders and the Company (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request by delivering a written notice to such effect to the Company within twenty days after the date of such written notice from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect or complete any such registration pursuant to this Section 5.1: (A) Prior to the earlier of (i) six months after the effective date of the Company's first registered public offering of its Common Stock or (ii) January 1, 2003; (B) Unless the requested registration would have an aggregate offering price of all Registrable Securities sought to be registered by all Holders exceeding $10,000,000; (C) Following the filing of, and for 180 days immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (D) After the Company has effected one registration pursuant to this Section 5.1(a); (E) If the Initiating Holders are able to request a registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof; (F) If the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company (i) giving notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission, or (ii) stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future. In such case, the Company's obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register, qualify or comply under this Section 5.1(a) shall be deferred one or more times for a period not to exceed 120 days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Initiating Holder or Holders, provided that the Company may not exercise this deferral right more than once per twelve-month period. Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (F), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders. (b) Underwriting. In the event of a registration pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company shall advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(i) that the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in the underwriting arrangements required by this Section 5.1, and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein. The Company shall, together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, but subject to the Company's reasonable approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration (i) in the case of the Company's initial public offering, to zero, and (ii) in the case of any other offering, to an amount no less than 30% of all shares requested to be included in such offering. The Company shall so advise all Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by them at the time of filing the registration statement. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company. 5.2 Company Registration. (a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its equity securities, either for its own account or the account of a Holder or other holders, other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (ii) a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, or (iii) a registration in which the only equity security being registered is capital stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt securities which are also being registered, the Company will: (i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and (ii) include in such registration (and any related qualifications including compliance with Blue Sky laws), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within ten days after the date of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder. (b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration (i) in the case of the Company's initial public offering, to zero, and (ii) in the case of any other offering, to an amount no less than 30% of all shares to be included in such offering. The Company shall so advise all Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all the Holders requesting to be included in the registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by them at the time of filing the registration statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company. (c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. 5.3 Registration on Form S-3. (a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities the aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $1,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form and to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as such Holder or Holders may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one registration pursuant to this Section 5.3 in any twelve-month period. If such offer is to be an underwritten offer, the underwriters must be acceptable to the Company. The Company shall inform the other Holders of the proposed registration and offer them the opportunity to participate. In the event the registration is proposed to be part of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the substantive provisions of Section 5.1(b) shall be applicable to each such registration initiated under this Section 5.3. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.3: (i) Following the filing of, and for 180 days immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) Within twelve months after the Company has effected such a registration pursuant to this Section 5.3(a), and such registration has been declared or ordered effective; or (iii) If the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company (i) giving notice of its bonafide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission, or (ii) stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company's obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred one or more times for a period not to exceed 120 days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Initiating Holder or Holders, provided that the Company may not exercise this deferral right more than once per twelve-month period. 5.4 Subsequent Registration Rights. (a) Without the consent of any holder of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company may grant to any holder of securities of the Company registration rights inferior to those granted hereunder. (b) The Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights superior to or on a pari passu basis with the rights granted the Purchasers hereunder without the written consent of the holders of 75% of the Registrable Securities. 5.5 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with (i) two registrations pursuant to Section 5.1, (ii) all registrations pursuant to Section 5.2, and (iii) all registrations pursuant to Section 5.3, shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Initiating Holders cause the Company to begin a registration pursuant to Section 5.1, and the request for such registration is subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders or such registration is not completed due to failure to meet the net proceeds requirement set forth in such section or is otherwise not successfully completed due to no fault of the Company, all Holders shall be deemed to have forfeited their right to one registration under Section 5.1 unless the Initiating Holders pay for, or reimburse the Company for, the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with such withdrawn or incomplete registration. Unless otherwise stated, all Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders and all other registration expenses shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered or proposed to be so registered. 5.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of such registration and as to the completion thereof. The Company will: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement and such amendments and supplements as may be necessary and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least 90 days or until the distribution described in the registration statement has been completed, whichever first occurs; (b) furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities; (c) use all reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions; (d) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering; (e) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act or the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; (f) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration. 5.7 Indemnification. (a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers and directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder or controlling person, and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a preliminary prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the registration statement becomes effective or the amended prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder, if a copy of the Final Prospectus was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act, and if the Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to the loss, liability, claim or damage. (b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, other holders of the Company's securities covered by such registration statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Holder of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Holder, and will reimburse the Company, such other Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, but in the case of the Company or the other Holders or their officers, directors or controlling persons, only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Holder under this subsection 5.7(b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the initial public offering price of the shares sold by such Holder, unless such liability arises out of or is based on willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder. (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.7 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or there are separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained on the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 5.8 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Agreement. 5.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; (b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and (c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, to furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without registration. 5.10 Termination of Registration Rights. The rights granted pursuant to Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement shall terminate as to any Holder upon the earlier of (i) the date five years after the effective date of the Company's initial public offering and (ii) the date such Holder is able to immediately sell all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder under Rule 144 during any 90-day period. 6. Financial Information Rights. (a) The Company will provide the following documents to each Purchaser who continues to hold at least 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and/or Conversion Stock (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock combinations, stock dividends, stock splits and the like): (i) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, and in any event within 90 days after the end of each such fiscal year, consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such fiscal year, and consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows and stockholders' equity of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such year, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and audited by independent public accountants selected by the Company, a capitalization table in reasonable detail for such fiscal year for the upcoming fiscal year to be in reasonable detail and broken down on a monthly basis; (ii) As soon as practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company and in any event within 60 days thereafter, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of each such quarterly period, and consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such period and for the current fiscal year to date, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (other than accompanying notes), subject to changes resulting from year-end audit adjustments, in reasonable detail and signed by the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, and a capitalization table in reasonable detail for such quarterly period, and such other documents generally distributed or made available to the Company's stockholders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide information which it deems in good faith to be proprietary or confidential; (iii) As soon as practicable after the end of each month of each fiscal year of the Company and in any event within 60 days thereafter, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of each such monthly period, and a consolidated statement of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, for such period and for the current fiscal year to date, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (other than accompanying notes), subject to changes resulting from year-end audit adjustments; (iv) Such other documents generally distributed or made available to the Company's stockholders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to provide information which it deems in good faith to be proprietary or confidential. (b) For purposes of determining the minimum holdings pursuant to this Section 6, any Purchaser which is a partnership or limited liability company shall be deemed to hold any Preferred Stock originally purchased by such Purchaser and subsequently distributed to constituent partners or members of such Purchaser, but which have not been resold by such partners or members. If the partnership or limited liability company is still in existence, the Company may satisfy any obligation to distribute reports to individual partners of the partnership or members of a limited liability company by delivering a single copy of each report to the partnership or limited liability company as agent for the constituent partners or members. (c) Each Purchaser or transferee of rights under this Section 6 acknowledges and agrees that any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6 which may be considered nonpublic information will be maintained in confidence by such Purchaser or transferee and will not be utilized by such Purchaser or transferee in connection with purchases or sales of the Company's securities except in compliance with applicable state and Federal securities laws. (d) The covenants of the Company set forth in this Section 6 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) the closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering; or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger or consolidation resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company for securities or consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or its subsidiary, unless the stockholders of the Company hold at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation in such a transaction. 7. Lock-Up Agreement. Each Purchaser, Holder and transferee hereby agrees that, in connection with the initial public offering of the Common Stock of the Company under the Securities Act for the account of the Company, if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing Underwriter"), such Purchaser, Holder or transferee shall not (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are thereafter acquired), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, during the period specified by the Company's Board of Directors at the request of the Managing Underwriter (the "Market Standoff Period"), with such period not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act pursuant to such offering. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7 shall apply only to the Company's initial public offering of equity securities, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all officers and directors and greater than five percent (5%) shareholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company's initial public offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 7 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. 8. Right of First Refusal. (a) The Company hereby grants to each Purchaser the right of first refusal to purchase its Pro Rata Share of New Securities (as defined in this Section 8) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A "Pro Rata Share," for purposes of this right of first refusal, equals the proportion that the total number of shares of Common Stock then held by such Purchaser plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock then held by such Purchaser bears to the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of all then outstanding securities exercisable for or convertible into, directly or indirectly, Common Stock. (b) Except as set forth below, "New Securities" shall mean any shares of capital stock of the Company, including Common Stock and any series of preferred stock, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase said shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable for said shares of Common Stock or preferred stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "New Securities" does not include stock issued and issuable: (i) upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock; (ii) to an employee, consultant or director pursuant to stock option, stock grant, stock purchase or similar plans and arrangements approved by the Board of Directors; (iii) to an equipment lessor, bank, financial institution or similar entity in a transaction approved by the Board of Directors, the principal purpose of which is other than the raising of capital; (iv) as a dividend or other distribution; (v) in a Qualified Initial Public Offering; (vi) in a merger or acquisition that is approved by the Board of Directors; (vii) pursuant to any transaction approved by the Board of Directors primarily for the purpose of (A) a joint venture, technology licensing or research and development activity, (B) distribution or manufacture of the Company's products or services, or (C) any other transaction involving corporate partners that is primarily for purposes other than raising capital; (viii) if the holders of 75% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities agree in writing that such shares shall not constitute New Securities; or (ix) upon exercise or conversion of securities with respect to which the Purchasers previously had an opportunity to exercise the right of first refusal pursuant to this Section 8. (c) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the amount and type of New Securities, and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Purchaser shall have ten days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to its respective Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. (d) Beginning ten days after the notice given pursuant to Section 8(c) above, the Company shall have 180 days to sell the New Securities not elected or eligible to be purchased by Purchasers at the price and upon the terms no more favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified in the Company's notice. In the event the Company has not sold all of the New Securities within said 180-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities in the manner provided above. (e) The provisions of this Section 8 will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering, or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger or consolidation resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company for securities or consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or its subsidiary, unless the stockholders of the Company hold at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation in such a transaction. 9. Voting Agreement. 9.1 The Board of Directors of the Company shall consist of two (2) Series A Directors (as defined below), one (1) Series B Director (as defined below), one (1) Management Director (as defined below), and three (3) Outside Directors (as defined below). 9.2 Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, at any election of directors of the Company, the members of the Board of Directors shall be nominated as follows: (i) for so long as pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company the holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to elect 2 members of the Board of Directors, the holder of the Series A Preferred shall have the right to nominate two directors of the Company (each a "Series A Director"); (ii) for so long as pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company the holders of the Series B Preferred are entitled to elect 1 member of the Board of Directors, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall have the right to nominate one director of the Company (a "Series B Director"); (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall be nominated as a director of the Company (the "Management Director"); and (iv) the remaining directors shall be nominated by the Series A Directors, Series B Director and Management Director (the "Outside Directors"); and, (v) if a renomination or vacancy occurs or exists on the Board of Directors at any time, including but not limited to a vacancy because of the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any director for cause or otherwise, then the person(s) who nominated the director whose position has become vacant, shall have the sole right to nominate an individual to fill such vacancy. 9.3 Each Holder agrees that it will vote all its Shares in such manner as may be necessary to elect (and maintain in office), as members of the Board of Directors of the Company, all of the nominees selected pursuant to Section 9.1(b). The Company shall promptly give each of the Holders written notice of any change in composition of the Company's Board of Directors and of any proposal to remove or elect a new director. In any election of directors pursuant to this Agreement, the Holders shall vote their shares of Preferred Stock and Conversion Stock in a manner sufficient to elect to the Company's Board of Directors the individuals to be elected thereto as provided in this Agreement, utilizing cumulative voting, if and to the extent necessary to do so. 9.4 The members of the Board of Directors are subject to removal as follows: (a) Any Management Director may be removed from office only upon the determination of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that the Management Director should no longer serve as such, and upon such determination, the Holders shall vote their voting stock to remove such Management Director. (b) Any Series A Director may be removed from office only upon the determination of the holders of the Series A Preferred that the Series A Director should no longer serve as such, and upon such determination, the Holders shall vote their voting stock to remove such Series A Director. (c) Any Series B Director may be removed from office only upon the determination of the holders of Series B Preferred that the Series B Director should no longer serve as such, and upon such determination, the Holders shall vote their voting stock to remove such Series B Director. (d) Any Outside Director may be removed from office only upon the determination of the Series A Directors, Series B Director and the Management Director that the Outside Director should no longer serve as such, and upon such determination, the Holders shall vote their voting stock to remove such Outside Director. (e) The provisions of this Section 9 shall be binding upon the successors in interest to any of the shares of Preferred Stock or Conversion Stock.

DEVCLICK.COM, INC. RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT THIS RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of October 8, 1999 (the "Effective Date") by and between DevClick.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Paul D. Levy (the "Purchaser"). WHEREAS the Purchaser is an employee or director of the Company and his continued participation is considered by the Company to be important for the Company's continued growth; and WHEREAS in order to give the Purchaser an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company as an incentive for the Purchaser to participate in the affairs of the Company, the Company is willing to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser desires to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock according to the terms and conditions hereof. THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 1. Sale of Stock. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"), at the price of $.001 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 and the intellectual property set forth in Exhibit A hereof. 2. Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall be paid by delivery to the Company at the time of execution of this Agreement of a check in the amount of $10,000 and by assignment of right, title and interest to the intellectual property set forth in Exhibit A hereof. 3. Issuance of Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of the purchase price, the Company shall issue a duly executed certificate evidencing the Shares in the name of the Purchaser to be held in escrow until expiration of the Company's repurchase option as described in this Agreement. 4. Repurchase Option. a. All of the Shares are subject to the Company's repurchase option defined in this section. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Purchaser's employment with or services as a director to the Company for any or no reason (including death or disability) before all of the Shares are released from the Company's repurchase option under Section 5, the Company shall, upon the date of such termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company) have an irrevocable, exclusive option for a period of 90 days from such date to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares which have not been released from the repurchase option at such time at the original purchase price per share ($.001) ("Repurchase Option"). Said Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to the Purchaser or his executor (with a copy to the Escrow Holder (as defined below)) and, at the Company's option, (i) by delivery to the Purchaser or his executor with such notice of a check in the amount of the repurchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (ii) by cancellation by the Company of an amount of the Purchaser's indebtedness to the Company equal to the repurchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such repurchase price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the repurchase price in any of the ways described above, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the Company. b. Whenever the Company shall have the right to repurchase Shares hereunder, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or stockholders of the Company or other persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of the Company's repurchase rights under this Agreement and purchase all or a part of such Shares. 5. Release of Shares From Repurchase Option. a. The shares shall be released from the Company's Repurchase Option at the rate of 1/48th (208,333.3333 shares) per month over the four year period following the Effective Date, provided in each case that the Purchaser's services as an employee of or director to the Company have not been terminated prior to the date of any such release. b. Upon the closing of a change of control, all of the remaining shares shall be released from the Company's Repurchase Option. A "change of control" shall mean a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, entity or person (where the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than 50% of the capital stock of the surviving corporation immediately following the merger or consolidation), or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation, entity or person. In addition, all of the remaining shares shall be released from the Company's Repurchase Option if Purchaser is not elected as a member of the Company's Board of Directors; provided, however that a voluntary resignation from the Board by Purchaser or Purchaser's voluntary election to not stand for election to the Board shall not cause the remaining shares to be released from the Repurchase Option. 6. Restriction on Transfer. Except for the escrow described in Section 7 or transfer of the Shares to the Company or its assignees contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Shares nor any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way until the release of such Shares from the Company's Repurchase Option in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 7. Escrow of Shares. a. The Shares issued under this Agreement shall be held by the Secretary of the Company as escrow holder ("Escrow Holder"), along with a stock assignment executed by the Purchaser in blank, until the expiration of the Company's Repurchase Option with respect to such Shares as set forth above. b. The Escrow Holder is hereby directed to permit transfer of the Shares only in accordance with this Agreement or instructions signed by both parties. In the event further instructions are desired by the Escrow Holder, he shall be entitled to rely upon directions executed by a majority of the authorized number of the Company's Board of Directors. The Escrow Holder shall have no liability for any act or omission hereunder while acting in good faith in the exercise of his own judgment. c. If the Company or any assignee exercises its Repurchase Option hereunder, the Escrow Holder, upon receipt of written notice of such option exercise from the proposed transferee, shall take all steps necessary to accomplish such transfer. d. When the Repurchase Option has been exercised or expires unexercised or a portion of the Shares has been released from such Repurchase Option, upon Purchaser's request the Escrow Holder shall promptly cause a new certificate to be issued for such released Shares and shall deliver such certificate to the Purchaser. e. Subject to the terms hereof, the Purchaser shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Shares and receive any cash dividends declared thereon. If, from time to time during the term of the Company's Repurchase Option, there is (i) any stock dividend, stock split or other change in the Shares, or (ii) any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other acquisition of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Purchaser is entitled by reason of his ownership of the Shares shall be immediately subject to this escrow, deposited with the Escrow Holder and included thereafter as "Shares" for purposes of this Agreement and the Company's repurchase option. 8. Legends. The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legends: a. "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CON- NECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933". b. "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANS- FERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY." c. Any legend required to be placed thereon by applicable state securities laws. 9. Investment Representations; Restriction on Transfer. a. In connection with the purchase of the Shares, the Purchaser represents to the Company the following: i. He 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 securities. He is purchasing these securities 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 of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). ii. He understands that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of his investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, he understands that, in view of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), the statutory basis for such exemption may not be present if his representations meant that his present intention was to hold these securities for a minimum capital gains period under the tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, for a sale if the market does not rise, or for a year or any other fixed period in the future. iii. He further acknowledges and understands that the securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. He further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the securities. He understands that the certificate evidencing the securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company. iv. He is aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the Commission, promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. v. He further acknowledges that in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, compliance with Regulation A or some other registration exemption will be required; and that although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and other than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk. b. The Purchaser agrees, in connection with the Company's initial public offering of the Company's securities, (i) not to sell, make short sales of, loan, grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the Purchaser (other than those shares included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities for up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such registration and (ii) further agrees to execute any agreement reflecting (i) above as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public offering. 10. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares and the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. 11. General Provisions. a. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the purchase of Common Stock by the Purchaser, may only be modified or amended in writing signed by both parties and satisfies all of the Company's obligations to the Purchaser with regard to the issuance or sale of securities. b. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by either the Company or the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally or deposited in the U.S. mail, First Class with postage prepaid, and addressed to the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth at the end of this Agreement or such other address as a party may request by notifying the other in writing. Any notice to the Escrow Holder shall be sent to the Company's address with a copy to the other party not sending the notice. c. The rights and benefits of the Company under this Agreement shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company's successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company. d. Either party's failure to enforce any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted both parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of either party's right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances. e. The Purchaser agrees upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement. f. The Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company) shall be responsible for his own federal, state, local or foreign tax liability and any of his other tax consequences that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser shall rely solely on the determinations of his tax advisors or his own determinations, and not on any statements or representations by the Company or any of its agents, with regard to all such tax matters. The Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing if the Purchaser files an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days from the date of the sale of the Shares hereunder. The Company intends, in the event it does not receive from the Purchaser evidence of such filing, to claim a tax deduction for any amount which would be taxable to the Purchaser in the absence of such an election.

Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (other than for death or Disability), this Option may be exercised for a period of three (3) months after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of such termination.

Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option. (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Board in its discretion may provide for the Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. The Board may permit the Option to be exercised contingent upon this transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 12. Lock-Up Period. Optionee agrees, in connection with the Company's initial public offering of the Company's securities, (i) not to sell, make short sales of, loan, grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company held by Optionee (other than those shares included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities for up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such registration and (ii) further agrees to execute any agreement reflecting (i) above as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public offering. 13. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Company at its then current principal executive office or to such other address as the Company may hereafter designate to the Optionee by notice as provided in this Section. Any notice to be given to the Optionee hereunder shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address set forth beneath his signature hereto, or at such other address as the Optionee may hereafter designate to the Company by notice as provided herein. A notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail to the party entitled to receive it. 14. Tax Consequences. Some of the federal tax consequences relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. (a) Exercising the Option. The Optionee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option (an "NSO"). The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. (b) Disposition of Shares. If the Optionee holds NSO Shares for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. (c) Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant to Options. With respect to the exercise of this Option for unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Optionee with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase. This will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Optionee on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares, at the time the Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Optionee at the time or times on which the Company's repurchase option lapses. Optionee is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference. 15. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in its entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California 16. NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. By your signature and the signature of the Company's representative below, you and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Optionee has reviewed this Agreement in its entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any questions relating to this Agreement.

Devlin Signature Michael T. Devlin Paul D. Levy Print Name Address 18880 Homestead Road Cupertino, CA 95014 Date Received: December 6,1999 EXHIBIT B INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT OPTIONEE: Paul D. Levy COMPANY: CATAPULSE INC. SECURITY: COMMON STOCK AMOUNT: 21,111,111 Shares DATE: December 6, 1999 In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following: (a) Optionee 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 Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's 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 of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). (b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws. (c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non- public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable. In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above. (d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event. Signature of Optionee: /s/ Paul D. Levy Date: December 6, 1999 EXHIBIT C-1 CATAPULSE INC. RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is made between Michael T. Devlin (the "Purchaser") and CataPULSE Inc. (the "Company") as of December 6, 1999. RECITALS A. Pursuant to the exercise of the stock option granted to Purchaser under the Stand-Alone Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated December 6, 1999 by and between the Company and Purchaser, which such Option Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference, Purchaser has elected to purchase 21,111,111 of those shares which have not become vested under the vesting schedule set forth in the Option Agreement ("Unvested Shares"). The Unvested Shares and the shares subject to the Option Agreement which have become vested are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Shares." B. As required by the Option Agreement, as a condition to Purchaser's election to exercise the Option, Purchaser must execute this Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, which sets forth the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. 1. Repurchase Option. (a) If Purchaser's status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason, including for cause, death, and disability, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser's personal representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares as of the date of such termination at the price paid by the Purchaser for such Shares (the "Repurchase Option"). (b) Upon the occurrence of a termination, the Company may exercise its Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered mail, to Purchaser (or his transferee or legal representative, as the case may be), within ninety (90) days of the termination, a notice in writing indicating the Company's intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company's office. At the closing, the holder of the certificates for the Unvested Shares being transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Unvested Shares, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor. (c) At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Unvested Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to Purchaser stating the name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company's office. (d) If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety (90) days following the termination, the Repurchase Option shall terminate. (e) The Repurchase Option shall terminate in accordance with the Vesting Schedule in Optionee's Option Agreement. 2. Transferability of the Shares; Escrow. (a) Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer the Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from Purchaser to the Company. (b) To insure the availability for delivery of Purchaser's Unvested Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option under Section 1, Purchaser hereby appoints the Secretary, or any other person designated by the Company as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to sell, assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unvested Shares, if any, repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, the share certificates representing the Unvested Shares, together with the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as Exhibit C-2. The Unvested Shares and stock assignment shall be held by the Secretary in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Purchaser attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto, until the Company exercises its purchase right as provided in Section 1, until such Unvested Shares are vested, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. As a further condition to the Company's obligations under this Agreement, the spouse of the Purchaser, if any, shall execute and deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit C-4. Upon vesting of the Unvested Shares, the escrow agent shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent's possession belonging to the Purchaser, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent shall nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as escrow agent if so required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. (c) The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment. (d) Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by any applicable state and federal securities laws. Any transferee shall hold such Shares subject to all the provisions hereof and the Exercise Notice executed by the Purchaser with respect to any Unvested Shares purchased by Purchaser and shall acknowledge the same by signing a copy of this Agreement. 3. Ownership, Voting Rights, Duties. This Agreement shall not affect in any way the ownership, voting rights or other rights or duties of Purchaser, except as specifically provided herein. 4. Legends. The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws): THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. 5. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares and the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. 6. Notices. Notices required hereunder shall be given in person or by registered mail to the address of Purchaser shown on the records of the Company, and to the Company at their respective principal executive offices. 7. Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to and bind Purchaser and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. 8. Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed that, with respect to the exercise of an option for Unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Purchaser with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase. This will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses. Purchaser is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PURCHASER'S BEHALF. 9. Representations. Purchaser has reviewed with his own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Purchaser understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for his or her own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California. Purchaser represents that he or she has read this Agreement and is familiar with its terms and provisions. Purchaser hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any questions arising under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is deemed made as of the date first set forth above. CATAPULSE INC. /s/ Michael T. Devlin Michael T. Devlin PURCHASER /s/ Paul D. Levy Signature Paul D.

Exercise of Option. (a) Right to Exercise. (i) Subject to subsections 3(a)(ii) and 3(a)(iii) below, this Option shall be exercisable cumulatively according to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant. Alternatively, at the election of the Optionee, this Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time as to Shares that have not yet vested. For purposes of this Agreement, Shares subject to the Option shall vest based on continued employment of Optionee continuing to be a Service Provider with the Company.

This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price. (c) Legal Compliance.

Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares. (d) Buyout Provisions. The Board may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Board shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made. 4. Optionee's Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. 5.

Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. 7. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 8. Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (other than for death or Disability), this Option may be exercised for a period of three (3) months after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 9. Disability of Optionee. If the Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, this Option may be exercised for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 10. Death of Optionee. If the Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. If, after death, the Optionee's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale. (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by this Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option. (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Board in its discretion may provide for the Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. The Board may permit the Option to be exercised contingent upon this transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 12. Lock-Up Period. Optionee agrees, in connection with the Company's initial public offering of the Company's securities, (i) not to sell, make short sales of, loan, grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company held by Optionee (other than those shares included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities for up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of such registration and (ii) further agrees to execute any agreement reflecting (i) above as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public offering. 13. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Company at its then current principal executive office or to such other address as the Company may hereafter designate to the Optionee by notice as provided in this Section. Any notice to be given to the Optionee hereunder shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address set forth beneath his signature hereto, or at such other address as the Optionee may hereafter designate to the Company by notice as provided herein. A notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail to the party entitled to receive it. 14. Tax Consequences. Some of the federal tax consequences relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. (a) Exercising the Option. The Optionee may incur regular federal income tax liability upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option (an "NSO"). The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. (b) Disposition of Shares. If the Optionee holds NSO Shares for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. (c) Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant to Options. With respect to the exercise of this Option for unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Optionee with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase. This will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Optionee on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares, at the time the Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Optionee at the time or times on which the Company's repurchase option lapses. Optionee is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference. 15. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in its entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California 16. NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. By your signature and the signature of the Company's representative below, you and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Optionee has reviewed this Agreement in its entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any questions relating to this Agreement. Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated below. OPTIONEE CATAPULSE INC. /s/ Michael T. Devlin /s/ Paul D. Levy Signature Paul D.

Levy Signature Paul D. Levy Chief Executive Officer Michael T. Devlin Print Name Address 18880 Homestead Road Cupertino, CA 95014 Date Received: December 6, 1999 EXHIBIT B INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT OPTIONEE: Michael T. Devlin COMPANY: CATAPULSE INC. SECURITY: COMMON STOCK AMOUNT: 21,111,111 Shares DATE: December 6, 1999 In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following: (a) Optionee 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 Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's 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 of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). (b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, and any other legend required under applicable state securities laws. (c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non- public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable. In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above. (d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event. Signature of Optionee: /s/ Michael T. Devlin Date: December 6, 1999 EXHIBIT C-1 CATAPULSE INC. RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is made between Michael T. Devlin (the "Purchaser") and CataPULSE Inc. (the "Company") as of December 6, 1999. RECITALS A. Pursuant to the exercise of the stock option granted to Purchaser under the Stand-Alone Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated December 6, 1999 by and between the Company and Purchaser, which such Option Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference, Purchaser has elected to purchase 21,111,111 of those shares which have not become vested under the vesting schedule set forth in the Option Agreement ("Unvested Shares"). The Unvested Shares and the shares subject to the Option Agreement which have become vested are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Shares." B. As required by the Option Agreement, as a condition to Purchaser's election to exercise the Option, Purchaser must execute this Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement, which sets forth the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. 1. Repurchase Option. (a) If Purchaser's status as a Service Provider is terminated for any reason, including for cause, death, and disability, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser's personal representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares as of the date of such termination at the price paid by the Purchaser for such Shares (the "Repurchase Option"). (b) Upon the occurrence of a termination, the Company may exercise its Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered mail, to Purchaser (or his transferee or legal representative, as the case may be), within ninety (90) days of the termination, a notice in writing indicating the Company's intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company's office. At the closing, the holder of the certificates for the Unvested Shares being transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Unvested Shares, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price therefor. (c) At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the Unvested Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to Purchaser stating the name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company's office. (d) If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety (90) days following the termination, the Repurchase Option shall terminate. (e) The Repurchase Option shall terminate in accordance with the Vesting Schedule in Optionee's Option Agreement. 2. Transferability of the Shares; Escrow. (a) Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer the Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from Purchaser to the Company. (b) To insure the availability for delivery of Purchaser's Unvested Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option under Section 1, Purchaser hereby appoints the Secretary, or any other person designated by the Company as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to sell, assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unvested Shares, if any, repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option and shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, the share certificates representing the Unvested Shares, together with the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as Exhibit C-2. The Unvested Shares and stock assignment shall be held by the Secretary in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Purchaser attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto, until the Company exercises its purchase right as provided in Section 1, until such Unvested Shares are vested, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect. As a further condition to the Company's obligations under this Agreement, the spouse of the Purchaser, if any, shall execute and deliver to the Company the Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit C-4. Upon vesting of the Unvested Shares, the escrow agent shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser the certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent's possession belonging to the Purchaser, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent shall nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as escrow agent if so required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement. (c) The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment. (d) Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on transfer imposed by any applicable state and federal securities laws. Any transferee shall hold such Shares subject to all the provisions hereof and the Exercise Notice executed by the Purchaser with respect to any Unvested Shares purchased by Purchaser and shall acknowledge the same by signing a copy of this Agreement. 3. Ownership, Voting Rights, Duties. This Agreement shall not affect in any way the ownership, voting rights or other rights or duties of Purchaser, except as specifically provided herein. 4. Legends. The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws): THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. 5. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares and the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement. 6. Notices. Notices required hereunder shall be given in person or by registered mail to the address of Purchaser shown on the records of the Company, and to the Company at their respective principal executive offices. 7. Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to and bind Purchaser and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors. 8. Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed that, with respect to the exercise of an option for Unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Purchaser with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase. This will result in a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses. Purchaser is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PURCHASER'S BEHALF. 9. Representations. Purchaser has reviewed with his own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Purchaser understands that he or she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for his or her own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.
