Neither this Agreement, the Investors' Rights Agreement and any Ancillary

assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in
compliance with such leases and, to the best of its knowledge, holds a valid
leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances, except such
encumbrances and liens which arise in the ordinary course of business and do not
materially impair the Company's use of such property or assets.

respects.

written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with
any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the knowledge of the
Company,
-10-

Company. There is no strike or other labor dispute involving the Company
pending, or to the knowledge of the Company threatened, which could have a
material adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition,
operating results or business of the Company (as such business is presently
conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted), nor is the Company aware of
any labor organization activity involving its employees. The Company is not
aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees,
intends to terminate their employment with the Company, nor does the Company

Subject to general principles related to wrongful termination of employees, the
employment of each officer and employee of the Company is terminable at the will
of the Company.

3.1 AUTHORIZATION. This Agreement constitutes its valid and legally
binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
3.2 PURCHASE ENTIRELY FOR OWN ACCOUNT. This Agreement is made with
each Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company,
which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
confirms, that the Series C Preferred Stock to be received by such Investor and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively, the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment for such Investor's own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing
this Agreement, each Investor (other than Rosewood Capital, L.P.) further
represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. Each
Investor represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this
Agreement.
-11-
3.3 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Each Investor believes it has
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Securities. Each Investor further represents that it
has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company

foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties
of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to
rely thereon.
3.4 INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. Each Investor is an investor in
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has

within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.
3.6 RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Each Investor understands that the
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, each Investor represents that it is familiar
with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
3.7 FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITION. Without in any way limiting
the representations set forth above, each Investor further agrees not to make
any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by
this Section 3, provided and to the extent such sections are then applicable,
and the Investors' Rights Agreement and any applicable Ancillary Agreement and:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the
Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such Registration Statement or an exemption from such
Registration is available; or
(b)(i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
reasonably
-12-
requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is
agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions
made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, or any legend on certificates representing the Securities pursuant to
Section 3.8 below, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be
necessary for a transfer by an Investor which is a partnership to a partner of
such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the
date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the
transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his spouse or
to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his spouse,
if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the
same extent as if he were an original Investor hereunder.
3.8 LEGENDS. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:
(a) "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR ANY
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND

EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES UNDER THE ACT, OR PURSUANT TO
RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT

Million (10,000,000) shares. Six Million Eighty Two Thousand Nine Hundred and
Seventy-Four (6,082,974) shares shall be Common Stock and Three Million Nine

B. RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND RESTRICTIONS OF PREFERRED STOCK. The rights,
preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are as follows:
1. DIVIDEND PROVISIONS.
(a) Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may
from time to time come into existence, holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out
of any assets legally
available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any
dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights
convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of this Corporation) on the Series
A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock of this Corporation, at the rate of $0.26
per share of Series B Preferred Stock per annum and $0.43 per share on the
Series C Preferred Stock per annum (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock
splits, stock dividends, combinations or other recapitalizations) payable when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall not be
cumulative.
(b) No distribution or dividend of cash or property shall be
paid on shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock unless a distribution
or dividend of the same amount per share (on an as-converted basis) is
simultaneously paid on both the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the
shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
(c) No distribution or dividend of cash or property shall be
paid on shares of Common Stock unless a distribution or dividend of the same
amount per share (on an as-converted basis) is simultaneously paid on the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock.
2. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of this Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of
series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the
assets of this Corporation to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Common
Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum
of (i) $3.20511 for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock (subject
to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or
other recapitalizations and hereafter referred to as the "Original Series B
Issue Price"), plus declared but unpaid dividends and (ii) $5.38126 for each
outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate
adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or other
recapitalizations and hereafter referred to as the "Original Series C Issue
Price") plus declared but unpaid dividends and (iii) an amount equal to eight
percent (8%) compounded per annum on the Original Series B Issue Price and on
the Original Series C Issue Price calculated from the date of the initial
issuance and sale of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock, respectively, and on declared but unpaid dividends from the date of
declaration through the effective date of the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of this Corporation. If upon the occurrence of such event, the
assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C
-2-
Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of
the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the
Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably
among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by each such holder.
(b) Upon the completion of the distribution required by
subparagraph (a) of this Section 2, if assets remain in this Corporation the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall receive all of the
remaining assets of this Corporation. The entire assets and funds of the
Corporation legally available for distribution (after giving effect to the
distribution referred to in Section 2(a) hereof) shall be distributed ratably
among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock in proportion
to the amount of such stock owned by each such holder (determined on an
as-converted basis).
(c) A consolidation or merger of this Corporation with or into
any other corporation or corporations, or a sale, conveyance or disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of this Corporation or the effectuation
by the Corporation of a transaction or series of related transactions in which
more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of (excluding
the issuance of up to 1,092,026 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the
issuance of up to 825,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock), shall be deemed
to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this
Section 2. The amount being distributed to the holders of capital stock upon
any such merger or consolidation shall be the cash or the value of the property,
rights or securities distributed to such holders by the acquiring person, firm
or other entity. The value of such property, rights or other securities shall
be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
3. REDEMPTION.
(a) The holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B and
Series C Preferred Stock ("Moving Investors") may request redemption of their
shares at any time on or after July 1, 2000 at a price equal to the greater (i)
of $3.20511 per share with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock and at a
price of $5.38126 with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock or (ii) the fair
market value of such shares ("Redemption Price"). If such request is made,
Corporation shall have the option to redeem all of the outstanding shares of
Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. The Corporation may pay the Redemption
Price in up to four equal annual installments commencing six months after
receipt of notice from the Moving Investors and on each anniversary date
thereafter; provided, however, that any balance due on all of the Redemption
Price shall be paid in full on or before January 1, 2004. If the Moving
Investors and the Corporation are unable to agree upon the Redemption Price and
are unable to agree upon the identity of a single business appraiser to value of
the Corporation, then the Moving Investors shall hire
-3-
one business appraiser experienced in restaurant valuations and Rubio's shall
hire a second business appraiser experienced in restaurant valuations. The two
business appraisers that have been selected shall select a third business
appraiser experienced in restaurant valuations. All three business appraisers
shall independently determine the value of the Corporation and render a written
appraisal ("Appraisal"). The Redemption Price shall be the average of the two
closest Appraisals. The cost of all of the business appraisers shall be borne
50% by the Corporation and 50% by the Moving Investors whose shares are
redeemed. Any deferred payments shall bear interest at the annual rate of prime
(the most favorable rate available to the Corporation for its borrowing from
time to time) plus 1%.
(b) With respect to any redemption to be conducted in
installments pursuant to subsection 3(a), the Corporation shall effect such
redemption pro rata according to the number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock held by each holder.
(c) At least 20 but no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for any redemption of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (the
"Redemption Date"), written notice shall be mailed, first class postage prepaid,
to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next
preceding the day on which notice is given) of the Series B and Series C
Preferred Stock as applicable to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the
records of this Corporation for such holder or given by the holder to this
Corporation for the purpose of notice or if no such address appears or is given
at the place where the principal executive office of this Corporation is
located, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, specifying the
number of shares to be redeemed from such holder, the Redemption Date, the
Series B Redemption Price and Series C Redemption Price as applicable, the place
at which payment may be obtained and the date on which such holder's Conversion
Rights (as hereinafter defined) as to such shares terminate and calling upon
such holder to surrender to this Corporation, in the manner and at the place
designated, his certificate or certificates representing the shares to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Notice"). Except as provided in subsection 3(d) and
except as prohibited by applicable California corporate law, on or after the
Redemption Date, each holder of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock as
applicable to be redeemed shall surrender to this Corporation the certificate or
certificates representing such shares, in the manner and at the place designated
in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Series B Redemption Price and the
Series C Redemption Price as applicable of such shares shall be payable to the
order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as
the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the
event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed,
a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
-4-
(d) From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have
been a default in payment of the Series B Redemption Price or the Series C
Redemption Price as applicable, all rights of the holders of such shares as
holders of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date
(except the right to receive the Series B Redemption Price and the Series C
Redemption Price as applicable including any interest due pursuant to subsection
3(a) upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with
respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on
the books of this Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose
whatsoever. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of
shares of Series B or Series C Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are
insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series B or Series C
Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally
available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares
ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed. Any shares of Series B
and Series C Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled
to all the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when
additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of
the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used
to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obligated
to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.
4. CONVERSION. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series
B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock and shall have conversion rights
as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
(a) RIGHT TO CONVERT.
i) Subject to subsection 4(c), each share of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of
issuance of such share and prior to the close of business on any Redemption Date
as may have been fixed in any Redemption Notice with respect to such share, at
the office of this Corporation or any transfer agent for the particular series
of Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock as is determined by dividing, with respect to Series A Preferred
Stock, $2.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits,
stock dividends, combinations or other recapitalizations and hereafter referred
to as the "Original Series A Issue Price") or, with respect to Series B
Preferred Stock, the Original Series B Issue Price plus all declared but unpaid
dividends on such share of Series B Preferred Stock by the applicable Conversion
Price at the time in effect for such share or with respect to Series C Preferred
Stock, the Original Series C Issue Price plus all declared but unpaid dividends
on such share of Series C Preferred Stock by the applicable Conversion Price at
the time in effect for such share. The initial
-5-
Conversion Price per share for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be the
Original Series A Issue Price, the initial Conversion Price per share for shares
of Series B Preferred Stock shall be the Original Series B Issue Price and the
initial Conversion Price per share for share of Series C Preferred Stock shall
be the Original Series C Issue Price; provided, however, that the Conversion
Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and the Series
C Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection
4(c).
ii) In the event of a call for redemption of any shares of
Series B or Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the
Conversion Rights shall terminate as to the shares designated for redemption at
the close of business on the Redemption Date, unless default is made in payment
of the Series B Redemption Price or the Series C Redemption Price as applicable,
in which case the Conversion Rights shall terminate on the date such Redemption
Price is paid in full for the Series B Preferred Stock and for the Series C
Preferred Stock, as applicable.
iii) Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be
converted into shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Price at the time
in effect for such shares immediately upon the earlier of (A) the closing of the
Corporation's sale of its Common Stock in a bona fide, firm commitment
underwriting pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in which the Corporation and any
selling shareholders receive not less than $15,000,000 aggregate net proceeds,
or (B) the date upon which the Corporation obtains the consent of the holders of
66 2/3% of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock for conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
(b) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he
shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the
office of this Corporation or of any transfer agent for the particular series of
Preferred Stock and shall give written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to this
Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the
same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This Corporation
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to
such holder of Preferred Stock or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to
have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or
persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such shares of Common
-6-
Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten
offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion
may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be
conditioned upon the effectiveness of a registration statement under the
Securities Act and the closing of the sale and purchase of shares pursuant to
such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have
converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such
offering.
(c) CONVERSION PRICE ADJUSTMENTS OF PREFERRED STOCK. The
Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock
and the Series C Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as follows:
i) A. Upon each issuance by the Corporation of any
Additional Stock (as defined below) after the date upon which any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock were first issued (the
"Purchase Date"), without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the applicable Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the applicable
Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred
Stock in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except
as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be adjusted to a price determined by
multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at
such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the
number of shares of such Additional Stock.
B. No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the
Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock shall be made in an
amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments which are not
required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and
shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to
three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being
carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of
the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, whichever occurs
first. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and
(E)(4), no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection
4(c)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
C. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for
cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor
before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or
-7-
incurred by this Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection
with the issuance and sale thereof.
D. In the case of the issuance of the Common Stock
for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other
than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the
Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
E. In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or
after the Purchase Date) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible
or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for all
purposes of this subsection 4(c)(i) and subsection 4(c)(ii):
1. The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of
any conditions to exercisability, including, without limitation, the
passage of time, but without taking into account potential
antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the
time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal
to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections
4(c)(i)(C) and (c)(i)(D)), if any, received by the Corporation upon
the issuance of such options or rights plus the exercise price
provided in such options or rights (without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered
thereby.
2. The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange (assuming
the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or
exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time,
but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments)
for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the
exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such
convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a
consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the
Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights
(excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued
dividends), plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received
by the Corporation (without taking into account potential antidilution
adjustments) upon the conversion or
-8-
exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or
rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner
provided in subsections 4(c)(i)(C) and (c)(i)(D)).
3. In the event of any change in the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to
this Corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon
conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, including, without limitation, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price of the
applicable Preferred Stock to the extent in any way affected by or
computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed
to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for
the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such
consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
4. Upon the expiration of any such options or
rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or
the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or
exchangeable securities, the applicable Conversion Price of the
Preferred Stock to the extent in any way affected by or computed using
such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to
such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only
the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable
securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise
of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such
securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to
such securities.
5. The number of shares of Common Stock deemed
issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to
subsections 4(c)(i)(E)(1) and (2) shall be appropriately adjusted to
reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in
either subsection 4(c)(i)(E)(3) or (4).
ii) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common
Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 4(c)(i)(E))
by this Corporation after the Purchase Date other than
A. shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a
transaction described in subsection 4(c)(iii) hereof,
B. shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
the applicable Preferred Stock,
-9-
C. to employees, consultants or directors of this
Corporation, or to vendors, suppliers, customers or other persons or
organizations with which the Corporation has a commercial
relationship, at any time when the total number of shares of Common
Stock so issuable or issued (and not repurchased at cost by the
Corporation in connection with the termination of employment or the
commercial relationship) does not exceed 220,500 (subject to
appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations or other recapitalizations) subsequent to the Purchase
Date, or
D. shares of Common Stock issued or issuable (I) in a
public offering before or in connection with which all outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock will be converted to Common Stock or (II)
upon exercise of warrants or rights granted to underwriters in
connection with such a public offering, or
E. by way of dividend or other distribution on shares
excluded from the definition of Additional Stock by virtue of clauses
(A) through (D),
iii) In the event the Corporation should at any time or from
time to time after the Purchase Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a
split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or
rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as
"Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder
for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents
(including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend
distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the applicable
Conversion Price of the Series A, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred
Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in
proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.
iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
any time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such
combination, the applicable Conversion Price for the Series A, Series B
Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so
that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of
-10-
each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding shares.
(d) OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event this Corporation shall
declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of
indebtedness issued by this Corporation or other persons, or assets (excluding
cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 4(c)(iii),
then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 4(d), the holders of
the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are
convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of
Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) RECAPITALIZATIONS. If at any time or from time to time
there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision,
combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in
this Section 4), provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred
Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock
after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4
(including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect for each series and
the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall
be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
(f) NO IMPAIRMENT. This Corporation shall not, by amendment of
its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by this
Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may
be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the
holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(g) NO FRACTIONAL SHARES AND CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS.
i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall
be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares are
issuable upon
-11-
such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares
of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.
ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment
of the Conversion Price of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, this
Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. This Corporation shall, upon the written request at any
time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such
holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment,
(B) the applicable Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (C) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the
time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Preferred Stock.
(h) NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by this
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, this
Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock, at least 20 days prior
to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right,
and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.
(i) RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. This
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect
the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, in addition to
such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Stock,
this Corporation shall take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
(j) NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions of this
Section 4 to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be
deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and
addressed to each holder
-12-
of record at his address appearing on the books of this Corporation.
5. VOTING RIGHTS.
(a) GENERAL VOTING RIGHTS. The holder of each share of the
Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock
into which such Preferred Stock could then be converted (with any fractional
share determined on an aggregate conversion basis being rounded to the nearest
whole share), and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting
rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common
Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of
any shareholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this Corporation, and
shall be entitled to vote, together as a single class with holders of Common
Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the
right to vote, except for the election of directors as provided in Section 5(b)
below.
(b) ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. Notwithstanding 5(a) above, the
holders of Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock,
voting as a single class together, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director
of the Corporation. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock,
voting together as a class, shall be entitled to elect the remaining directors
of the Corporation. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing or
nominating directors, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a
majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding and a majority of the
Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall constitute a quorum of the
Series B and Series C Preferred Stock for the election or nomination of
directors to be elected or nominated solely by the holders of Series B and
Series C Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. A vacancy in any
directorship elected by the holders of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock
shall be filled only by vote of the holders of Series B and Series C Preferred
Stock.
6. PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS. Subject to the rights of series of
Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as
shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, this Corporation shall not without
first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of
the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock and holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class:
(a) sell, convey, or otherwise dispose of or encumber (other
than pursuant to a credit arrangement in the ordinary course of business) all or
substantially all of its property or business or merge into or consolidate with
any other Corporation (other than a wholly owned subsidiary corporation) or
effect any transaction or series of related transactions in which
-13-
more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of or effect
any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or any
reorganization or recapitalization of the Corporation (any such event
hereinafter referred to as a "Corporate Transaction"); or
(b) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Shares so as to
adversely affect the shares; or
(c) create any new class or series of stock or any other
securities convertible into equity securities of the corporation having a
preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series B Preferred Stock or
Series C Preferred Stock with respect to voting, dividends or preferences upon
liquidation; or
(d) amend the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation; or
(e) amend the Corporation's Bylaws, including, without
limitation, any amendment to increase the authorized number of directors to more
than five; or
(f) repurchase shares of the Corporation's Common Stock or
Preferred Stock; or
(g) permit any subsidiary to issue stock to any entity other
than the Corporation.
7. STATUS OF CONVERTED OR REDEEMED STOCK. In the event any shares
of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed or converted pursuant to Section 3 or
Section 4 hereof, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be cancelled and
shall not be issuable by the Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation of this
Corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction
in the Corporation's authorized capital stock.
8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES. In connection with repurchases by this
Corporation of its Common Stock pursuant to its agreements with certain of the
holders thereof, Sections 502 and 503 of the California General Corporation Law
shall not apply in whole or in part with respect to such repurchases.
C. COMMON STOCK.
1. DIVIDEND RIGHTS. Subject to the prior rights of holders of all
classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends,
the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally
available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the
Board of Directors.
-14-
2. LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be
distributed as provided in Section 2 of Division (B) of this Article III.

Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, subject only to applicable
limits set forth in Section 204 of the California Corporations Code with respect
to actions for breach of duty to the Corporation and its shareholders.

eliminate the effect of this Article IV with respect to actions taken prior to
