-----------------------
the full Purchase Price by delivery to the Company of a Secured Full Recourse
Promissory Note of Purchaser in the principal amount of the full Purchase Price
in the form of Exhibit 1, duly executed by Purchaser (the "Note"). Purchaser
--------- ----
also hereby delivers to the Company: (i) two (2) copies of a blank Stock Power

Company under Section 2(a), the Company will issue a duly executed stock
certificate evidencing the Shares in the name of Purchaser registered in

placed in escrow as provided in Section 8 until expiration or termination of
both the Company's Repurchase Option and Right of First Refusal described in
Sections 5 and 6 and payment in full to the Company of all sums due under the
Note.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER. Purchaser represents and
-------------------------------------------
warrants to the Company that:
(a) Purchase for Own Account for Investment. Purchaser is purchasing
---------------------------------------
the Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment purposes only and not with
a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of the Shares within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").
--------
Purchaser has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or
any portion of the Shares and no one other than Purchaser has any beneficial
ownership of any of the Shares.
(b) Access to Information. Purchaser has had access to all
---------------------
information regarding the Company and its present and prospective business,
assets, liabilities and financial condition that Purchaser reasonably considers
important in making the decision to purchase the Shares, and Purchaser has had
ample opportunity to ask questions of the Company's representatives concerning
such matters and this investment.
(c) Understanding of Risks. Purchaser is an officer of the Company
----------------------
and is fully aware of: (i) the highly speculative nature of the investment in
the Shares; (ii) the financial hazards involved; (iii) the lack of liquidity of
the Shares and the restrictions on transferability of the Shares (e.g., that
----
Purchaser may not be able to sell or dispose of the Shares or use them as
collateral for loans); (iv) the qualifications and backgrounds of the management
of the Company; and (v) the tax consequences of investment in the Shares.
(d) Purchaser's Qualifications. Purchaser has a preexisting personal
--------------------------
or business relationship with the Company and/or certain of its officers and/or
directors of a nature and duration sufficient to make Purchaser aware of the
character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of
the Company and/or such officers and directors. By reason of Purchaser's
business or financial experience, Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of this investment, has the ability to protect Purchaser's own
interests in this transaction and is financially capable of bearing a total loss
of this investment.
(e) No General Solicitation. At no time was Purchaser presented with
-----------------------
or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio,
television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection
with the offer, sale and purchase of the Shares.
(f) Compliance with Securities Laws. Purchaser understands and
-------------------------------
acknowledges that, in reliance upon the representations and warranties made by
Purchaser herein, the Shares are not being registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the 1933 Act or being qualified under the
---
California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended (the "Law"), but instead
---
are being issued under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and
qualification requirements of the 1933 Act and the Law or other applicable state
securities laws which impose certain restrictions on Purchaser's ability to
transfer the Shares.
(g) Restrictions on Transfer. Purchaser understands that Purchaser
------------------------
may not transfer any Shares unless such Shares are registered under the 1933 Act
or qualified under the Law or unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements are available.
Purchaser understands that only the Company may file a registration statement
with the SEC or the California Commissioner of Corporations and that the Company
is under no obligation to do so with respect to the Shares. Purchaser has also
been advised that exemptions from registration and qualification may not be
available or may not permit Purchaser to transfer all or any of the Shares in
the amounts or at the times proposed by Purchaser.
(h) Rule 144. In addition, Purchaser has been advised that SEC Rule
--------
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, which permits certain limited sales of
unregistered securities, is not presently available with respect to the Shares
and, in any event, requires that the Shares be
2
held for a minimum of one year, and in certain cases two years, after they have
been purchased and paid for (within the meaning of Rule 144), before they may be
------------
resold under Rule 144. Purchaser understands that Shares paid for with a Note
may not be deemed to be fully "paid for" within the meaning of Rule 144 unless
certain conditions are met and that, accordingly, the Rule 144 holding period of
such Shares may not begin to run until such Shares are fully paid for within the
meaning of Rule 144. Purchaser understands that Rule 144 may indefinitely
restrict transfer of the Shares so long as Purchaser remains an "affiliate" of
the Company and "current public information" about the Company (as defined in
Rule 144) is not publicly available.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA SECURITIES LAWS. THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES
------------------------------------------
THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF NOT YET QUALIFIED WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS AND NOT EXEMPT FROM SUCH QUALIFICATION, IS SUBJECT
TO SUCH QUALIFICATION, AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES, AND THE RECEIPT OF
ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL
UNLESS THE SALE IS EXEMPT. THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE
EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON SUCH QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED OR AN EXEMPTION
BEING AVAILABLE.
5. COMPANY'S REPURCHASE OPTION. The Company has the option to repurchase
---------------------------
all or a portion of the Unvested Shares (as defined below) on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section (the "Repurchase Option") if Purchaser
-----------------
ceases to be employed by the Company (as defined herein) for any reason, or no
reason, including without limitation Purchaser's death, disability, voluntary
resignation or termination by the Company with or without cause.
(a) Definition of "Employed by the Company"; "Termination Date". For
----------------------------------------------------------
purposes of this Agreement, Purchaser will be considered to be "employed by the
---------------
Company" if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that Purchaser is
-------
rendering substantial services as an officer, employee, consultant or
independent contractor to the Company or to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate
of the Company. In case of any dispute as to whether Purchaser is employed by
the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company will have discretion to
determine whether Purchaser has ceased to be employed by the Company or any
parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company and the effective date on which
Purchaser's employment terminated (the "Termination Date").
----------------
(b) Unvested and Vested Shares. Shares that are not Vested Shares (as
--------------------------
defined in this Section) are "Unvested Shares". On the Effective Date all of
---------------
the Shares will be Unvested Shares. If Purchaser has been continuously employed
by the Company at all times from the Effective Date until July 15, 1998 (the
"First Vesting Date"), then on the First Vesting Date 25% of the Shares will
------------------
become Vested Shares; and thereafter, for so long (and only for so long) as
Purchaser remains continuously employed by the Company at all times after the
First Vesting Date, an additional 2.083% of the Shares will become Vested Shares
upon the expiration of each full month elapsed after the First Vesting Date;
provided, however, (i) Xx. Xxxxxxxx will immediately receive 18 months of
vesting upon death or an Involuntary Termination (as defined in Appendix A
hereto), (ii) all unvested Shares shall vest upon an Involuntary Termination
within 12 months of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in Appendix A hereto) or
(iii) the last
3
600,000 Shares (the "Performance Shares") which would vest over the last 27
------------------
months of the 48 month period (the "Performance Period") shall not become fully
------------------
vested and shall remain subject to the Company's right of repurchase
notwithstanding continued service during the Performance Period unless and until
one of the following conditions occurs (the "Performance Conditions"): (A) the
----------------------
Company pays its outstanding debts to Xxxx Xx and Xxxxx Xxx in the principal
amount of $4,750,000 and all accrued interest thereon and to Toshiba in the
principal amount of $400,000 and all accrued interest thereon and achieves at
least two consecutive quarters of profitability (which may occur before or after
such payoff), (B) an initial public offering of the Company, (C) a Corporate
Transaction or (D) completion of four years of service from July 15, 1997. If
after the Performance Conditions occur, the Performance Shares will remain
subject to the Company's right of repurchase unless there has been continued
service for the four year period ending July 15, 2001 or they are otherwise
vested under any of the provisions (i) or (ii) above.
(c) Adjustments. The number of Shares that are Vested Shares or
-----------
Unvested Shares will be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization of the common stock of the
Company occurring after the Effective Date.
(d) Exercise of Repurchase Option at Original Price. At any time
-----------------------------------------------
within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, the Company may elect to
repurchase any or all of the Unvested Shares by giving Purchaser written notice
of exercise of the Repurchase Option. The Company and/or its assignee(s) will
then have the option to repurchase from Purchaser (or from Purchaser's personal
representative as the case may be) any or all of the Unvested Shares at the
Purchaser's original Purchase Price Per Share (as adjusted to reflect any stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or recapitalization of the common
stock of the Company occurring after the Effective Date).
(e) Payment of Repurchase Price. The repurchase price payable to
---------------------------
purchase Unvested Shares upon exercise of the Repurchase Option will be payable,
at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), by check or by cancellation of
all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Purchaser to the Company (or
to such assignee) or by any combination thereof. The repurchase price will be
paid without interest within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date.
(f) Right of Termination Unaffected. Nothing in this Agreement will
-------------------------------
be construed to limit or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the right or
power of the Company (or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) to
terminate Purchaser's employment at any time for any reason or no reason, with
or without cause.
6. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise
----------------------
transferred by Purchaser without the Company's prior written consent. Before
any Vested Shares held by Purchaser or any transferee of such Shares (either
being sometimes referred to herein as the "Holder") may be sold or otherwise
------
transferred (including without limitation a transfer by gift or operation of
law), the Company and/or its assignee(s) will have a right of first refusal to
purchase the Shares to be sold or transferred (the "Offered Shares") on the
--------------
terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the "Right of First Refusal").
----------------------
4
(a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares will
---------------------------
deliver to the Company a written notice (the "Notice") stating: (i) the
------
Holder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer the Offered Shares;
(ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee ("Proposed
--------
Transferee"); (iii) the number of Offered Shares to be transferred to each
----------
Proposed Transferee; (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for
which the Holder proposes to transfer the Offered Shares (the "Offered Price");
-------------
and (v) that the Holder will offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Company
and/or its assignee(s) at the Offered Price as provided in this Section.
(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty
----------------------------------
(30) days after the date of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may,
by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all (but not less than
all) of the Offered Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the
Proposed Transferees named in the Notice, at the purchase price determined in
accordance with subsection (c) below.
(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Offered Shares
--------------
purchased under this Section will be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price
includes consideration other than cash, then the value of the non-cash
consideration as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors
will conclusively be deemed to be the cash equivalent value of such non-cash
consideration.
(d) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for Offered Shares will be
-------
payable, at the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s) (as applicable), by
check or by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of
the Holder to the Company (or to such assignee, in the case of a purchase of
Offered Shares by such assignee) or by any combination thereof. The purchase
price will be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after the Company's
receipt of the Notice, or, at the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s),
in the manner and at the time(s) set forth in the Notice.
(e) Holder's Right to Transfer. If all of the Offered Shares proposed
--------------------------
in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased
by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the
Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Offered Shares to that Proposed
Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or
--------
other transfer is consummated within 120 days after the date of the Notice, and
provided further, that: (i) any such sale or other transfer is effected in
-------- -------
compliance with all applicable securities laws; and (ii) the Proposed Transferee
agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section will continue to apply to
the Offered Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Offered
Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee
within such 120 day period, then a new Notice must be given to the Company, and
the Company will again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares
held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.
(f) Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
----------------
this Section, the following transfers of Shares will be exempt from the Right of
First Refusal: (i) the transfer of any or all of the Shares during Purchaser's
lifetime by gift or on Purchaser's death by will or intestacy to Purchaser's
"immediate family" (as defined below) or to a trust for the benefit of Purchaser
or Purchaser's immediate family, provided that each transferee or other
recipient
5
agrees in a writing satisfactory to the Company that the provisions of this
Section will continue to apply to the transferred Shares in the hands of such
transferee or other recipient; (ii) any transfer of Shares made pursuant to a
statutory merger or statutory consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation or corporations (except, unless provided otherwise in Section 6(g),
that the Right of First Refusal will continue to apply thereafter to such
Shares, in which case the surviving corporation of such merger or consolidation
shall succeed to the rights or the Company under this Section unless the
agreement of merger or consolidation expressly otherwise provides); or (iii) any
transfer of Shares pursuant to the winding up and dissolution of the Company. As
used herein, the term "immediate family" will mean Purchaser's spouse, lineal
----------------
descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister, adopted child or
grandchild, or the spouse of any child, adopted child, grandchild or adopted
grandchild of Purchaser.
(g) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal
-------------------------------------
will terminate as to all Shares upon the effective date of the first sale of
common stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration
statement filed with and declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act (other
than a registration statement relating solely to the issuance of common stock
pursuant to a business combination or an employee incentive or benefit plan).
(h) Encumbrances on Vested Shares. Purchaser may xxxxx x xxxx or
-----------------------------
security interest in, or pledge, hypothecate or encumber Vested Shares only if
each party to whom such lien or security interest is granted, or to whom such
pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance is made, agrees in a writing
satisfactory to the Company that: (i) such lien, security interest, pledge,
hypothecation or encumbrance will not apply to such Vested Shares after they are
acquired by the Company and/or its assignees) under this Section; and (ii) the
provisions of this Section will continue to apply to such Vested Shares in the
hands of such party and any transferee of such party. Purchaser may not xxxxx x
xxxx or security interest in, or pledge, hypothecate or encumber, any Unvested
Shares.
7. RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
---------------------
Agreement, Purchaser will have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company
with respect to the Shares from and after the date that Purchaser delivers
payment of the Purchase Price until such time as Purchaser disposes of the
Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercise(s) the Repurchase Option
or Right of First Refusal. Upon an exercise of the Repurchase Option or the
Right of First Refusal, Purchaser will have no further rights as a holder of the
Shares so purchased upon such exercise, except the right to receive payment for
the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and
Purchaser will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares
so purchased to the Company for transfer or cancellation.
8. ESCROW. As security for Purchaser's faithful performance of this
------
Agreement, Purchaser agrees, immediately upon receipt of the stock
certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, to deliver such certificate(s), together
with the Stock Powers executed by Purchaser and by Purchaser's spouse, if any
(with the date and number of Shares left blank), to the Secretary of the Company
or other designee of the Company ("Escrow Holder"), who is hereby appointed to
-------------
hold such certificate(s) and Stock Powers in escrow and to take all such actions
and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases of such Shares as are in
accordance with the terms of this
6
Agreement. Escrow Holder will act solely for the Company as its agent and not as
a fiduciary. Purchaser and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be
liable to any party to this Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or
omissions unless Escrow Holder is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent
in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under this Section. Escrow Holder
may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature
purported to be genuine and may rely on the advice of counsel and obey any order
of any court with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The Shares will be released from escrow upon termination of both the Repurchase
Option and the Right of First Refusal provided, however, that the Shares will be
-------- -------
retained in escrow so long as they are subject to the Pledge Agreement.
9. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Purchaser has
----------------
been informed that, unless an election is filed by the Purchaser with the
Internal Revenue Service (and, if necessary, the proper state taxing
authorities), within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to
--------------
Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (and similar state tax provisions, if
applicable) to be taxed currently on any difference between the Purchase Price
of the Shares and their fair market value on the date of purchase, there will be
a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser, measured by the excess, if
any, of the fair market value of the Vested Shares, at the time they cease to be
Unvested Shares, over the purchase price for such Shares. Purchaser represents
that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultant(s) Purchaser deems advisable in
connection with Purchaser's purchase of the Shares and the filing of the
election under Section 83(b) and similar tax provisions. A form of Election
under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 for reference. PURCHASER
---------
HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR FILING SUCH ELECTION AND PAYING ANY TAXES
RESULTING FROM SUCH ELECTION OR FOR FAILING TO FILE THE ELECTION AND PAYING
TAXES RESULTING FROM THE LAPSE OF THE REPURCHASE RESTRICTIONS ON THE UNVESTED
SHARES.

------------------
B. Pursuant to Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement, all the Shares on the
date hereof constitute "Unvested Shares" (as defined in the Purchase Agreement
and which herein shall have the meaning as so defined in the Purchase
Agreement); provided, that certain of the Shares will cease to be Unvested
Shares pursuant to the terms of Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement.
C. Pledgor has agreed that repayment of the Note will be secured by the
pledge of the Unvested Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Creation of Security Interest. Pursuant to the provisions of the
-----------------------------
California Commercial Code, Pledgor hereby grants to the Company, and the
Company hereby accepts, a first and present security interest in the Unvested
Shares as collateral to secure the payment of Pledgor's obligation to the
Company under the Note. Pledgor herewith delivers to the Company common stock
certificate(s) No(s). ________, representing all the Shares, together with one
stock power for each certificate in the form attached as an Exhibit to the
Purchase Agreement, duly executed (with the date and number of shares left
blank) by Pledgor and Pledgor's spouse, if any. For purposes of this Agreement,
the Unvested Shares pledged to the Company hereby, together with any additional
collateral pledged pursuant to Section 5 hereof, will hereinafter be
collectively referred to as the "Collateral." Pledgor agrees that the
----------
Collateral pledged to the Company will be deposited with and held by the Escrow
Holder (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Purchase Agreement, for purposes of carrying out the
provisions of this Agreement, Escrow Holder will act solely for the Company as
its agent and not as a fiduciary.
2. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor hereby represents and
------------------------------
warrants to the Company that Pledgor has good title (both record and beneficial)
to the Collateral, free and clear of all claims, pledges, security interests,
liens or encumbrances of every nature whatsoever, and that Pledgor has the right
to pledge and grant the Company the security interest in the Collateral granted
under this Agreement. Pledgor further agrees that, until the
entire principal sum and all accrued interest due under the Note has been paid
in full, Purchaser will not, without the Company's prior written consent, (i)
sell, assign or transfer, or attempt to sell, assign or transfer, any of the
Collateral, or (ii) grant or create, or attempt to grant or create, any security
interest, lien, pledge, claim or other encumbrance with respect to any of the
Collateral.
3. Rights on Default. In the event of default (as defined in the
-----------------
Note) by Pledgor under the Note, the Company will have full power to sell,
assign and deliver the whole or any part of the Collateral at any broker's
exchange or elsewhere, at public or private sale, at the option of the Company,
in order to satisfy any part of the obligations of Pledgor now existing or
hereinafter arising under the Note. On any such sale, the Company or its
assigns may purchase all or any part of the Collateral. In addition, at its

and applicable law and such rights, powers and remedies will be exercisable by
the Company with respect to all of the Collateral. Pledgor agrees that the
Company's reasonable expenses of holding the Collateral, preparing it for resale
or other disposition, and selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral,
including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, will be deducted from the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition and will be included in the amounts
Pledgor must tender to redeem the Collateral. All rights, powers and remedies
of the Company will be cumulative and not alternative. Any forbearance or
failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or remedy
hereunder will not be deemed to be a waiver of any such right, power or remedy
and any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder
will not preclude the further exercise thereof.
5. Dividends; Voting. All dividends hereinafter declared on or
-----------------
payable with respect to the Collateral during the term of this pledge (excluding
only ordinary cash dividends, which will be payable to Pledgor so long as
Pledgor is not in default under the Note) will be immediately delivered to the
Company to be held in pledge under this Agreement. Notwithstanding this
Agreement, so long as Pledgor owns the Shares and is not in default under the
Note, Pledgor will be entitled to vote any shares comprising the Collateral,
subject to any proxies granted by Pledgor.
6. Adjustments. In the event that during the term of this pledge,
-----------
any stock dividend, reclassification, readjustment, stock split or other change
is declared or made with respect to the Collateral, or if warrants or any other
rights, options or securities are issued in respect of the Collateral, then all
new, substituted and/or additional shares or other securities issued by reason
of such change or by reason of the exercise of such warrants, rights, options or
securities, will be immediately pledged to the Company to be held under the
terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Collateral is held hereunder.
7. Rights Under Purchase Agreement. Pledgor understands and agrees
-------------------------------
that the Company's rights to repurchase the Collateral under the Purchase
Agreement will continue for the periods and on the terms and conditions
specified in the Purchase Agreement, whether or
2
not the Note has been paid during such period of time, and that to the extent
that the Note is not paid during such period of time, the repurchase by the
Company of the Collateral may be made by way of cancellation of all or any part
of Pledgor's indebtedness under the Note.
8. Redelivery of Collateral. Upon payment in full of the entire
------------------------
principal sum and all accrued interest due under the Note, and subject to the
terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will immediately
redeliver the Collateral to Pledgor and this Agreement will terminate; provided,
--------
however, that all rights of the Company to retain possession of the Shares
-------
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement.
9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will inure to the benefit
----------------------
of the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the
parties hereto.
