existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation.
Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate
power and authority to own and operate its properties
3
and assets, to carry on its business as currently conducted and as currently

this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), to issue and sell the
Shares and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement, and the Certificate. Each of the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of
its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) make such
qualifications necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do
so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company owns all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of each of its Subsidiaries free of any Lien
other than liens for current taxes not yet due. The Company is not a participant
in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement. The Company has made
available to the Purchasers upon request true, correct and complete copies of
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date
and presently in effect.
3.2 Capitalization; Voting Rights. The authorized capital stock of
the Company, consists of (a) 500,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), 114,002,422 shares of which are
issued and outstanding, 13,354,869 shares of which are currently reserved for
issuance pursuant to outstanding option agreements, and (b) 50,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), 6,400,000
of which are designated Series B Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and

duly authorized and validly issued, and (ii) are fully paid and nonassessable.
The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the Shares, upon the
Closing, will be as stated in the Certificate. Except as may be granted pursuant
to this Agreement and except as set forth above, there are no outstanding
options, warrants, puts, calls, rights (including conversion or preemptive
rights and rights of first refusal), proxy or stockholder agreements, or
agreements of any kind for the purchase or acquisition from, sale to or
exchange, with the Company or any of
4
its Subsidiaries of any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other restrictions on the incidents of
ownership or transfer of any such shares of capital stock created by: (i) the
charter documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any agreement
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, by which any of them
is bound or of which any of them has Knowledge, or, (iii) to the Company's
Knowledge, any statute (other than Federal and state securities laws). The
Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the Certificate, will be validly issued
(including, without limitation, issued in compliance with applicable state and
federal securities laws, assuming the accuracy of Purchasers' representations in
Section 4 hereof), fully paid and nonassessable and will be free of any Liens
(other than Liens created by Purchasers); provided, however, that the Shares may
be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities
laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time
transfer is proposed.
3.3 Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the
part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder
and thereunder and the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares
pursuant hereto has been taken. This Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement, when executed and delivered, will be valid and binding obligations of
the Company enforceable against the Company, in accordance with their terms,
except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights; (ii) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies; and (iii) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable
federal and state securities laws. The sale of the Shares are not and will not
be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not
been properly waived or complied with.
3.4 Financial Statements; Reports; Proxy Statement. (a) A true and
complete copy of each annual, quarterly and other report, and definitive proxy

all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules
and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Reports,
and none of
5
the Reports contained on their filing dates any untrue statement of a material

consolidated financial position of the Company at the dates thereof and of its
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended

adjustments). There are no material Liabilities of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries not reflected in the financial statements of the Company, including
the notes thereto, included in the Reports.
(b) The Proxy Statement (as defined in Section 5.1) shall not,
on the date the Proxy Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto)
is first mailed to stockholders, or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading. The Proxy Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
3.5 Absence of Certain Changes. Except as disclosed in the Reports,
since September 30, 2001 (the "Determination Date") there has not been (i) any
Material Adverse Change or any development or combination of developments of
which management of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has Knowledge that,
individually or in the aggregate, has had or is reasonably likely to result in a
Material Adverse Change; (ii) any material damage, destruction or other casualty
loss with respect to any material asset or property owned, leased or otherwise
used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not covered by
insurance; (iii) any change by the Company in accounting principles, practices
or methods; or (iv) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or

any material increase in the compensation payable or that could become payable
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to executive officers or any amendment
of any of the Company's Compensation and Benefit Plans.
3.6 Obligations to Related Parties. There are no material
obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to officers, directors,
stockholders, or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than
(a) for payment of salary for services rendered, (b) reimbursement for
reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and (c) for other standard employee benefits made generally available to all
employees (including stock option agreements outstanding under any stock option
plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or the
relevant Subsidiary). No officer or director or, to the Company's Knowledge, any
member of their immediate families, is indebted to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or has any direct ownership interest in any firm or corporation
with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is affiliated, or any company
that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case other
than ownership of less than 2% of the outstanding stock of publicly traded
companies. No such officer or director, or, to the Company's Knowledge, any
member of their immediate families, is, directly or indirectly, interested in
any material contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a guarantor or indemnitor of any
indebtedness of any other Person.
3.7 Patents and Trademarks. Each of the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries owns or possesses sufficient legal rights to all trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, and, to the Company's
Knowledge, information and other proprietary rights, patents and processes
necessary for its business as now conducted, without any infringement known to
it of the rights of others. The Company is not a party to any material
outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the
foregoing, other than such licenses to the Company or its Subsidiaries (i)
arising from the purchase by any of them of "off the shelf" standard products or
(ii) that are not material to the business now conducted by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any written
7
communications alleging that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has violated
or, by conducting its business as currently proposed, would violate any of the
patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or
other proprietary rights of any other Person. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is aware that any of its Key Employees is obligated under any
contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other
agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
administrative agency, that would interfere with their duties to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries. The conduct of the Company's and each of its
Subsidiary's business as currently conducted, does not, to the Knowledge of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, conflict with or result in a breach of the
terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any employee is now obligated. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries believes it is or will be necessary to
utilize any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information developed or
acquired by any of its employees in the conduct of the Company's or any of its
Subsidiary's business prior to their employment by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, except for inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information
that have been assigned to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
3.8 Compliance with Other Instruments and Laws; Consents; Permits.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation or default of
any term of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or of any provision of
any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument or contract to which it
is party or by which it or any of its property is bound or of any judgment,
decree, order, writ, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or their properties except for such violations or
defaults which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, and the issuance and sale
of the Shares pursuant hereto, will not, with or without the passage of time or
giving of notice, result in any violation or default by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries of any term of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or
of any provision of any material agreement to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
of their respective property is bound or of any judgment, decree, order, writ,
statute rule or regulation applicable to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or
their
8
properties, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the material
properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in the
acceleration or modification of, or create in any party the right to accelerate,
terminate, modify or cancel, or create in any party additional or different
material rights or duties pursuant to, or require any notice under, any material
agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound. No orders, permissions,
consents, approvals or authorizations of any Governmental Entity is required to
be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and no application,
notification, request, registration or declaration is required to be filed with
any Governmental Entity by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the offer, issuance, sale
and delivery of the Shares, or the other transactions to be consummated at the
Closing, as contemplated in this Agreement other than (i) the filing of the
Certificate in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
prior to the Closing, (ii) the qualification (or taking of such action as may be
necessary to secure an exemption from qualification, if available) of the offer
and sale of the Shares under the Securities Act and applicable Blue Sky laws and
(iii) items which the failure by the Company to so obtain or file will not have
a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and
any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being
conducted by it, the lack of which, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and can obtain, without
undue burden or expense, any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its
business as currently proposed to be conducted.
3.9 Litigation. To the Knowledge of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or
currently threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that
questions the validity of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or
the Certificate or the right of the Company to enter into any of such
agreements, to issue the Shares with the terms specified in the Certificate or
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which, if
determined adversely to the Company, would be reasonably likely to result,
either individually or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Effect to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor is the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
9
party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or
decree of any court or other Governmental Entity.
3.10 Tax Returns and Payments. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries has timely filed all tax returns (federal, state, local and
foreign) required to be filed by it. All Taxes shown to be due and payable on
such returns, any assessments imposed, and all other Taxes due and payable by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have been paid or will be paid prior to
the time they become delinquent. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has been advised (i) that any of its returns, federal, state, foreign or other,
have been or are being audited as of the date hereof, or (ii) of any deficiency
in assessment or proposed adjustment to its federal, state, foreign or other
Taxes. There exists no liability for any Tax or potential Tax to be imposed upon
the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the
date of this Agreement that is not adequately provided for.
3.11 Employees. To the Knowledge of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, no Key Employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any
consultant with whom the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has contracted, is
in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information
agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to
be employed by, or to contract with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and
to the Knowledge of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries the continued
employment by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries of their present
employees, and the performance of the contracts of the Company and each of its
Subsidiaries with its independent contractors, will not result in any such
violation except for such violations which, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice alleging that any
such violation has occurred. No employee of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or to any material compensation following termination
of employment with the Company. No officer or Key Employee has communicated to
the Company his or her intention to terminate his or her employment with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor does the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries have a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer
or Key Employee.

3.12 Registration Rights. Except as required pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is not under any obligation, and has
not granted any rights, to register any of the Company's securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
3.13 Offering Valid. Assuming the accuracy of the representations
and warranties of the Purchasers contained in Section 4 hereof, the offer, sale
and issuance of the Shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act, and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt
from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or
qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither the
Company nor any agent on its behalf has solicited or will solicit any offers to
sell or has offered to sell or will offer to sell all or any part of the Shares
to any person or persons so as to bring the sale of such Shares by the Company
within the registration provisions of the Securities Act or the registration or
qualification provisions of any state securities laws.
3.14 Takeover Statutes. Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended (the "DGCL") does not require the Company to solicit
the approval of the stockholders of the Company for the issuance of the Shares,
the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares or the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser
believes it has acquired sufficient information about the Company and its

the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the
Shares.
4.4 Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the
Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering
within the meaning of the Securities Act, that such Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act and that it may not resell, pledge or
otherwise transfer any such Shares except pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from
registration.

WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES."
4.6 Tax Liability. Such Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax
advisors the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Such Purchaser relies solely on such advisors and not on any

the Company, shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a
result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Registration
Rights Agreement.
Section 5. Covenants
5.1 Meetings of the Company's Stockholders. The Company shall take
all action necessary in accordance with applicable laws and its Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws to convene a meeting (the "Stockholders Meeting") of
holders of its shares of Common Stock as promptly as practicable to consider and
vote upon the approval of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Shares. In connection therewith, the Company shall, no
later than 30 calendar days following the Closing Date, file with the SEC a
proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") soliciting proxies to be voted in
approval of such issuance at the Stockholders Meeting. Subject to their
fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Board shall recommend such approval,
and the Company shall take all lawful action to solicit such approval. The Proxy
Statement shall not be filed, and no amendment or supplement to the Proxy
Statement shall be made by the Company, without prior consultation with SOFTBANK
and its counsel (it being understood that the consent of SOFTBANK and its
counsel shall not be required).
5.2 Further Assurances. The Company and the Purchasers shall use
their respective reasonable efforts at any time and from time to time prior to,
at and after the Closing Date to execute and deliver to the applicable parties
such further documents and instruments and to take all such further actions as
such other parties to this Agreement reasonably may request to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate and the
Registration Rights Agreement.
13
5.3 Standstill. Following the Closing Date and until the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, without the prior approval of a majority of the
independent members of the Board, each of the Purchasers and any entity of which
each Purchaser owns 80% or more of its outstanding capital stock shall not, nor
shall any Purchaser take the initiative to affirmatively request that (i) any
entities of which such Purchaser owns indirectly 80% or more of its outstanding
capital stock or (ii) any of its Affiliates, purchase or otherwise acquire any
shares of Common Stock if the effect of such acquisition would be to increase
the number of shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by any one of the
foregoing to greater than the percentage of shares of Common Stock Beneficially
Owned immediately following the Closing (assuming the conversion of the Shares);
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.4 shall prevent or restrict
each of the Purchasers from acquiring shares of Common Stock if such acquisition
is pursuant to the rights set forth in Section 7 of the Certificate.
5.4 Employee Stock Options. Each of the Company and each of the
Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that it is the intention of the parties that
the Company will reserve a certain number of shares of Common Stock for the
compensation of employees and management of the Company (together with (i)
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options and (ii) shares of
restricted stock of the Company granted to employees of the Company, in each of
clause (i) and (ii), calculated as of the time such shares are reserved, the
"Option Pool"). Such number of shares in the Option Pool shall be equal to 20%
of the sum of (i) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
immediately following the Closing, (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, and (iii) the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock included in, or reserved for issuance pursuant to, the
Option Pool.
5.5 Reverse Stock Split. Each of the Company and each of the
Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that it is the intention of the parties that,
after the Closing Date, the Board will consider whether it would be appropriate
to approve a reverse split of the Common Stock, if required to maintain the
listing of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market.
5.6 Lock-up Agreement. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that from the
Closing Date and until 180 days after the Closing Date, such Purchaser will not
offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
14
exercisable for any such Shares or enter into any swap, hedge or other
arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such aforementioned
transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Shares or such other securities,
in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer,
sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge
or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the
Company; provided, however, in no event shall this Section 5.6 have any force or
effect unless and until each director and officer of the Company and each Key
Employee (together with each d2irector and officer of the Company and each
transferee of such director, officer, and Key Employee, a "Restricted
Stockholder") has duly executed and delivered to the Company an agreement with
respect to the capital stock of the Company held by such directors, officer and
Key Employees substantially similar to this Section 5.6; provided, further, that
if the Company at any time during the duration of this Section 5.6 consents to
the release of any shares of capital stock held by a Restricted Stockholder from
the restrictions in such agreement, the Company shall concurrently release the
same percentage of each Purchaser's Shares from the corresponding restrictions
set forth in this Section 5.6, and: (i) in the event that more than one
Restricted Stockholder is released from such restrictions, the percentage of
each Purchaser's Shares subject to release shall be the largest percentage of
shares released as to any Restricted Stockholder, and (ii) the Company shall, at
least two Business Days prior to such release, provide written notice to each
Purchaser of such release. A transfer of Shares may be made to any transferee
that (a) is a direct or indirect subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited
partner, retired partner, member or retired member of a Purchaser or is an

(c) Matters Involving Third Parties.

writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party

any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying
Party thereby is prejudiced.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to
defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its
choice satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying

Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the

Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with
evidence acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will
have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill
its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third Party Claim involves
only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief,
(D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim
is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish
a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests
of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of
the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
(iii) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting

consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

7(c)(ii) above is or becomes unsatisfied, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend
against, and consent to the entry

Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not
consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection
therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party
promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party
Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), and (C) the

nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in
this Section 7.
(d) Other Indemnification Provisions. The foregoing
indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any
statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any party may have with respect to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any rights any party may
have under any other agreement, document or instrument, including, without
limitation, the Registration Rights Agreement.
