---------------------------------------------
(a) Prior to the date hereof, the Company has adopted and
filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware the Fourth Amended and Restated

deliver to each Additional Investor a certificate representing the Series C
Preferred Stock that such Additional Investor is purchasing against payment of
the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds and
shall deliver to each Initial Investor a certificate representing the Additional
Shares such Initial Investor is entitled to receive.
1.4 Post-Closing Obligations. In the event that, at any
------------------------
time, the Company's representation and warranty in Section 2.2 is determined not
to have been true when made, the Company shall promptly issue to the Additional
Investors, on a pro rata basis as an adjustment to the purchase price paid for
the shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased hereunder and without the
payment of additional consideration by the Additional Investors, an additional
number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock such that each Additional Investor
would own the same economic interest and voting power as it would have owned had
such representation and warranty been true and correct in all respects when
made. If at the time of an adjustment pursuant to the preceding sentence any
shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased
2
hereunder have been converted into Common Stock, the Company shall issue
additional shares of Common Stock with respect to such converted shares of
Series C Preferred Stock based on the conversion ratio that would have been in
effect if such shares had remained outstanding. Any additional shares issued
pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall (i) be treated as if they were issued at the
Closing, (ii) shall reflect any anti-dilution adjustments arising from the date
of Closing through the date of such issuance, and (iii) be deemed to be an
adjustment to the per share purchase price of the Series C Preferred Stock set
forth in Section 1.2(b) above and to have been issued as part of a single
integrated transaction with the issuance of the shares of Series C Preferred
Stock at the Closing. Concurrently with each such issuance, the Company shall
pay or accrue all dividends or other distributions which would have been paid or
accrued with respect to such additional shares from the date of Closing through
the date of such issuance.

additional purchasers who are "qualified institutional buyers" as defined under
Rule 144A of the Act (as hereinafter defined), selected by the Company and
approved by the Company's director designated by the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock as set forth in the Restated Certificate, such approval not to

agreement in substantially the form of this Agreement and shall become a party
to the Investors' Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the
Stockholders' Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
1.6 Restated Certificate Adjustments. The parties agree
--------------------------------
for federal tax purposes to treat any adjustments to the Conversion Price (as
defined in the Restated Certificate) of the Series C Preferred Stock as a result
of a Reduced Offering (as defined in the Restated Certificate) or a Reduced
Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Certificate) as adjustments to the
purchase price of the Purchase Shares.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
---------------------------------------------
hereby represents, warrants and covenants to each Additional Investor with
respect to the purchase of the Purchase Shares on the date hereof that, except
as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions (the "Schedule of Exceptions")

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite
corporate power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the
property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is
currently, and as it is currently proposed to be, engaged and has the power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement,
the Investors' Rights Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement, and to issue,
sell and deliver the Additional Shares and the Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined) issuable upon conversion of the Additional Shares. The Company is duly
qualified to transact business and is in good standing in
3
each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on the business, assets, operations, properties or financial
condition of the Company (an "MAE").
2.2 Capitalization and Voting Rights. (a) The authorized,
--------------------------------
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company will consist immediately
prior to the Closing of:
(i) Preferred Stock. 17,628,000 shares of
---------------
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the "Preferred Stock"), of which (i)
3,310,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series
A Preferred Stock"), of which 3,309,953 shares are outstanding, (ii)

privileges and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock are as stated in the Restated
Certificate.
(ii) Common Stock. 42,372,000 shares of common
------------
stock, par value $0.001 ("Common Stock"), of which 3,657,630 shares are
issued and outstanding.
(b) The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock are
owned by the stockholders and in the numbers specified in Exhibit B hereto.
---------
(c) The outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock are
all duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning
the issuance of securities.
(d) Except for (A) the conversion privileges of the
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock,
(B) the rights provided in Section 3 of the Fourth Amended and Restated

---------
"Stockholders' Agreement"), and (C) 1,798,000 options outstanding as of June 15,
2000, as set forth on Schedule 2.2 (which list is true and complete in all
------------
material respects), and such other options which have been granted in the
ordinary course by the Company since such date to purchase shares of the
Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan, as

preemptive rights) or agreements for the purchase or acquisition from the
Company of any shares of its capital stock. All options granted from the
Management Option Pool shall contain vesting and buy-back restrictions in
substantially the same form as issuances of options from the Management Option
Pool prior to the date of this Agreement. The Company also expects to grant
warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock to a lender or

------------
control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation,

Exhibit D attached hereto. The Company is not a participant in any joint
---------
venture, partnership, or similar arrangement. The Company is not, directly or
indirectly, subject to any obligation or requirement to provide funds to, or
invest in any company, partnership, association, joint venture or similar non-

Restated Investors' Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E

Investors' Rights Agreement or the Stockholders' Agreement or the right of the
Company to enter into any of the foregoing or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or that would have, either individually or in
the aggregate, an MAE. The Company is not a party or subject to the provisions
of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government
agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate.
2.9 Proprietary Information Agreements. Each employee and
----------------------------------
officer of the Company has executed a Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement in substantially the form provided to the Investors.
2.10 Patents and Trademarks. Schedule 2.10 sets forth a
---------------------- -------------
complete and accurate list and description of all material franchises, licenses,
patents, patent rights, patent applications, trademarks, trademark rights,
trademark applications, service marks, service xxxx rights, trade names, trade
name rights, copyrights, copyright applications, and rights with respect to any
of the foregoing (collectively, "Intellectual Property") presently owned or held
by the Company. The Company owns the right to use all of the Intellectual
Property. To the actual knowledge of the Company (without independent
investigation), the Intellectual Property is all that is necessary for the
Company to conduct its business as presently conducted or as it is presently
proposed to be conducted. To its knowledge (but without having conducted any
special investigation or patent search), no Intellectual Property conflicts with
or infringes on the valid rights of others and the Company has not received any
notice of infringement upon or
6
conflict with the asserted rights of others. No event has occurred which
permits, or after notice or lapse of time would permit, the revocation or
termination of any of the Intellectual Property. The Company has a valuable body
of trade secrets, including know-how, concepts, computer programs, technology,
streaming media files, domain name, domain name applications, databases,
websites, other materials included on the Company's website and other technical
data (the "Proprietary Information"). To its knowledge, the Company has the
right to use the Proprietary Information free and clear of any rights, liens,
encumbrances or claims of others, except that the possibility exists that other
persons may have independently developed trade secrets or technical information
similar or identical to those of the Company. The Company is not aware of any
such independent development nor of any misappropriation or infringement of its
Proprietary Information or Intellectual Property. The Company is not aware that
any of its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses,
covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would
interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to promote the interests of
the Company or that would conflict with the Company's business. The Company does
not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any of its
employees (or people it currently intends to hire) or consultants made prior to
their employment by the Company, except for inventions that have been assigned
or licensed to the Company as of the date hereof. The Company has taken
reasonable steps to protect and preserve the security and confidentiality of its
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Information. Immediately following the
Closing, the Company will continue to own or license all Intellectual Property
and Proprietary Information owned or use by it on the same terms and conditions
as immediately prior to the Closing.
2.11 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not
---------------------------------
in violation of any provision of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws or any
securities issued by the Company, any indenture, credit agreement, contract,
agreement, instrument or other undertaking ("Contractual Obligations") or any
judgment, order, writ, decree or contract, statute, rule or regulation to which
the Company or its assets or property is subject ("Requirements of Law"), a
violation of which would have an MAE. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, the Investors' Rights Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will
not result in any such violation, or be in conflict with or constitute, with or
without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (i) a default under the
Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, any Contractual Obligation or Requirement of
Law, or (ii) an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation,
impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license,
authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations
or any of its assets or properties.
2.12 Agreements; Action.
------------------
(a) Except for agreements explicitly contemplated
hereby, there are no agreements, understandings or proposed transactions between
the Company and any of its officers, directors, affiliates or any affiliate
thereof.
7
(b) Except for this Agreement, the Investors' Rights
Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement, Schedule 2.12 hereto sets forth a
-------------
complete and accurate of all material Contractual Obligations of the Company in
effect on and as of the Closing. To its knowledge, each such Contractual
Obligation is valid and enforceable by the Company against any other party
thereto in accordance with its terms except to the extent that such enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, and by laws relating to the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. The Company has performed and is
in compliance with all of the terms of such Contractual Obligations and all
instruments and agreements relating thereto and no default or event of default,
or event or condition which with notice or lapse of time or both would
constitute such a default or event of default, on its part or, to its actual
knowledge, on the part of any other party thereto exists with respect to any
material Contractual Obligation of the Company, except where such
nonperformance, noncompliance, default or event of default is not reasonably
likely to result in an MAE. The Company has no actual knowledge that any such
Contractual Obligation contains any contractual requirement with which there is
a reasonable likelihood the Company will be unable to comply and such failure to
comply would likely result in an MAE or the Company's compliance is reasonably
likely to result in an MAE.
(c) There are no judgments, orders, writs or decrees to
which the Company is a party or by which it is bound that involve obligations
(contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to the Company, in excess of $25,000.
(d) The Company has not (i) declared or paid any dividends
or authorized or made any distribution upon or with respect to any class or
series of its capital stock, (ii) except for the anticipated credit facility
currently being negotiated, as set forth on the Financial Statements (as
hereinafter defined), or pursuant to the Contractual Obligations set forth on
Schedule 2.12, incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other
-------------
liabilities which would be commitments required to be disclosed in the footnotes
to financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles,
individually for which it currently owes, or in the future will owe in excess of
$100,000 or, in the case of indebtedness and/or liabilities individually less
than $100,000, in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, (iii) made any loans or
advances to any Person, other than advances in the ordinary course of business,
or (iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights,
other than the sale of its inventory in the ordinary course of business.
(e) For the purposes of subsections (c) and (d) above, all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same Person (including Persons the
Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be aggregated for
the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of such
subsections.
(f) The Company delivered copies of the following customer
contracts between the Company and the named customer (the "Customer Contracts")
to X'Xxxxxxxx, Graev & Karabell, LLP, special counsel to Spire (as hereinafter
defined), prior to the date of this Agreement: (i) VERIO Rocky Mountain, Inc.

--------------------------
director of the Company, holder of greater than five percent (5%) of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock, or member of his or her immediate family is
indebted to, or a party to any agreements, contracts or transactions with the
Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or
guarantee credit) to any of them. To the best of the Company's knowledge, none
of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or
corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a
business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the
Company, except that employees, officers or directors of the Company and members
of their immediate families may own stock in publicly traded companies that may
compete with the Company. No member of the immediate family of any officer or
director of the Company is directly or indirectly interested in any material
Contractual Obligation with the Company.
2.14 Financial Statements. The Company has delivered to each
--------------------
Investor its audited financial statements (balance sheet and statement of
operations, statement of stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows,
including notes thereto) at December 31, 1999 and for the fiscal year then ended
and its unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and statement of
operations, statement of stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows) at
March 31, 2000 and for the three-month period then ended (the "Financial

in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating
results of the Company and which the Company has satisfied as they have become
due. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, the Company is not a
guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other Person. The Company
maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting
established and administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

-------
of the Initial Shares pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Original
Agreement, there has not been:

enter into this Agreement, the Investors' Rights Agreement and the Stockholders'
Agreement, and each such agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding
obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of

creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in

securities laws.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
---------------------------------
such 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
and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in
violation of applicable securities laws, and that such Investor has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing
the same in violation of applicable securities laws. By executing this
Agreement, such Investor 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 in
violation of applicable securities laws, with respect to any of the Securities.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor represents that it has
-------------------------
(i) had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series C Preferred
Stock and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the
Company and (ii) been furnished by the Company with all information regarding
the Company which it has requested or desired to know.
3.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in
---------------------
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it can
bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience
in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Series C Preferred Stock. If other than an
individual, such Investor also represents it has not been organized for the
purpose of acquiring the Series C Preferred Stock.
3.5 Restricted Securities. Such 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 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the Series C Preferred Stock (or the Common
Stock issued on conversion thereof) or an available exemption from registration
under the Act, the Series C Preferred Stock (and any Common Stock issued on
conversion thereof) must be held indefinitely. In this connection, such 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, including
without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current information about the
Company be available to the public. Such information is not now available and
the Company has no present plans to make such information available.
15
3.6 Further Limitations on Disposition.
----------------------------------
(a) Without in any way limiting the representations set forth
above, such Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any
portion of the Securities unless:

the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) (A) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company, if reasonably
requested, with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the
proposed disposition, and (B) if reasonably 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.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (i) and (ii)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
for a transfer by an Investor to any affiliate or limited or general partner of
such Investor if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms
hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder.
3.7 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
-------
Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:

Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale,
pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect
with respect to the securities under such Act or an applicable exemption
therefrom."
(b) Any legend required by the Investors' Rights Agreement and
the Stockholders' Agreement.
The Company agrees, upon the request of any Investor or its
transferee, to remove the legend required by paragraph (a) above at such time as
all Securities held by such person may be freely transferred pursuant to SEC
Rule 144(k) or are properly sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Act, and to remove the legend required by paragraph (b) above at such
time as the restrictions of the Investors' Rights Agreement and the
Stockholders' Agreement are no longer applicable to such Securities.

may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

----------------
has had the opportunity to review this Agreement, the exhibits and the schedules

Investor's legal counsel and not on Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP for legal
