investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, overtly threatened against
the Company that questions the validity of this Agreement or the Investors'
Rights Agreement, or the right of the Company to enter into such agreements, or
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might
result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse changes
in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or
otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is
the Company aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing
includes, without limitation, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened involving the prior
employment of any of the Company's employees, their use in connection with the
Company's business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any
of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior

to prevent any such violation.
2.10 Patents and Trademarks. To the best of its knowledge (but
without having conducted any special investigation or patent search), the
Company has sufficient title and ownership of, or right to use, all patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, information,
proprietary rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and
as proposed to be conducted without any conflict with or infringement of the
rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of
any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company bound by or a party to
any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses,
information, proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity,

conducting its business as proposed, would violate any of the patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other
proprietary rights of any other person or entity. 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 as proposed to be
conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the
Investors' Rights Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by
the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company's business as
proposed, will, to the best of the Company's knowledge, conflict with or result
in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is
now obligated. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to
utilize any inventions of any of its employees (or people it currently intends
to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company.

violation or default in any material respect of any provision of its Restated
Articles or Bylaws, or in any material respect of any instrument, judgment,
order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound,
or, to the best of its knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state
statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the Investors' Rights 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 a default under any such provision,
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or 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.

contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which

to the Company in excess of, $50,000, or (ii) the license of any patent,

than ordinary advances for travel expenses, 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.
(d) For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) above, all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons
or entities 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.
(e) The Company is not a party to and is not bound by any
contract, agreement or instrument, or subject to any restriction under its
Restated Articles or Bylaws that adversely affects its business as now conducted

in any discussion (i) with any representative of any corporation or corporations
regarding the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any such

(50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, or (iii) regarding any
other form of acquisition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company.
2.13 Related-Party Transactions. No employee, officer, or director of
the Company or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to 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 contract
with the Company.
2.14 Permits. 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 could materially and adversely affect the
business, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company, and the

authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted. The
Company is not in default in any material respect under any of such franchises,
permits, licenses, or other similar authority.
6
10

rights to manufacture, produce, assemble, license, market, or sell its products
to any other person and is not bound by any agreement that affects the Company's
exclusive right to develop, manufacture, assemble, distribute, market or sell
its products.
2.17 Disclosure. The Company has fully provided each Investor with
all the information that such Investor has requested for deciding whether to
purchase the Series C Preferred Stock and all information that the Company
believes is reasonably necessary to enable such Investor to make such decision.
To the best of its knowledge, neither this Agreement, the Investors' Rights
Agreement, nor any other statements or certificates made or delivered in
connection herewith or therewith contains any untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein
or therein not misleading.
2.18 Registration Rights. Except as provided in the Investors' Rights
Agreement, the Company has not granted or agreed to grant any registration

Investors.
2.20 Title to Property and Assets. The Company owns its property and
assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans and encumbrances, except
such encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do
not materially impair the Company's ownership or use of such property or 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.

statement of cash flows) as at December 31, 1997 and for the fiscal year then
ended and its unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and statement of
operations) as at and for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 (the

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other, except that the

other assessments due, except those contested by it in good faith that are

is not bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is bound by
or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or
arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested or, to the
best of the Company's knowledge, has sought to represent any of the employees,

3.1 Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and the Investors' Rights Agreement, and each such

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 the Investors' Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable
federal or state 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,
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, 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,
with respect to any of the Securities.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Series C Preferred Stock. Such Investor further
represents that it has 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. The 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.

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
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is

14
3.5 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect.
3.6 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 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.
3.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. 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 and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by

the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such Registration Statement; or

the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) 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.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
for a transfer by an Investor that 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 or her spouse or to
the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her
spouse, 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.
3.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:
(a) "These securities have not been registered under the
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 opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required or unless
sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act."

DATED MAY 15, 1998
The following are exceptions to the representations and warranties made
by CyberGold, Inc. (the "Company") in Section 2 of the Series C Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement dated May 15, 1998 (the "Agreement") among the Company and
the Investors listed on Schedule A thereto (collectively, the "Investors"),
which exceptions shall be deemed to be representations and warranties as if made
under the Agreement. To the extent any exception is disclosed pursuant to any
specific section of the Agreement designated below, it shall be deemed to be
disclosed for any and all purposes required pursuant to the Agreement. (Where
the terms of a lease, contract or other disclosure item have been summarized or
described in this Schedule of Exceptions, such summary or description does not
purport to be a complete statement of the material terms of such lease, contract
or other item.) Terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meanings when
used herein unless otherwise defined.
Section 2.2 Capitalization and Voting Rights
The Company has entered into two equipment lease lines with LINC Capital
Management ("LINC") for the leasing of computer equipment and other personal
property. The first equipment lease line, entered into on March 27, 1997, is for
an aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000 and has been fully used. A
warrant to purchase 17,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock was issued to LINC
in connection with this lease line. The second equipment lease line, entered
into on March 31, 1998, is for an aggregate principal amount of up to $150,000,
of which approximately $67,261 is still available. A warrant to purchase up to
10,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock was issued to LINC in connection with
this second lease line. The exact number of shares for which this warrant to
purchase up to 10,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be exercised
depends upon how much of the available principal that the Company draws down
under the lease line. As of May 1, 1998, the warrant was exerciseable for
approximately 60% of the total amount, or 6,000 shares.
Xxxx Xxxxxxx, a former employee of the Company, resigned from his
employment with the Company before reaching his one-year cliff vesting date.
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, intends to request
that the Board of Directors permit Xx. Xxxxxxx to exercise his option as if it
had vested on a monthly basis so that Xx. Xxxxxxx would be vested in options to
purchase approximately 15,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. It is
anticipated that the Board will discuss this issue at its next meeting.
The Company entered into a letter agreement with Xxx Xxxxxxx dated June
9, 1997, with respect to matters relating to Xx. Xxxxxxx providing services to
the Company. Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Company, among other things,
agreed to grant Xx. Xxxxxxx options to purchase 70,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock if Xx. Xxxxxxx is elected to the Company's Board of Directors
within twelve months of the date of the letter agreement.
32
On January 16, 1998, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release
Agreement with Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx. This agreement provided for the payment of
certain severance benefits and the acceleration of Xx. Xxxxxxxxxxxx'x options
such that he vested in options to purchase an aggregate of 39,062 shares of
Common Stock, exerciseable for up to three months following his termination. Xx.
Xxxxxxxxxxxx indicated to the Company that he intended to exercise the options.
However, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxxxx did not complete and return the necessary exercise
paperwork to the Company within the required three-month period.
The Company has entered into a consulting agreement with Xx. Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, a director of the Company, whereby Xx. Xxxxxx will be compensated for
his services in the form of Series C Preferred Stock. A copy of this agreement
has been provided to special counsel to the Investors.
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a member
of the Company's Board of Directors, has made certain arrangements regarding the
transfer of the shares of the Company's capital stock that he owns for estate
planning purposes. Such arrangements do not violate Xx. Xxxxxxxxx'x obligations
under the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement.
Section 2.8 Litigation
The Company holds the domain name, "xxxx.xxx." On February 3, 1998, the
Company received a letter from AT&T indicating that the Company's use of this
domain name may infringe AT&T's trademarks. The domain name is not currently in
use, and there has been no further action with regard to this matter. A copy of
this letter has been provided to special counsel for the Investors.
On April 7, 1998, the Company received a letter from Xxxxxx, Xxxxx &
Xxxxxxxxx, L.L.P., counsel for Terran Systems ("Terran") alleging that the
Company owed Terran, an executive recruiting firm, the sum of $18,400 as
consideration for the placement of a candidate with the Company. The Company
believes that this matter may be resolved without recourse to litigation. Copies
of all correspondence have been provided to special counsel for the Investors.
On March 17, 1998, the Company received a letter from Remedy Temp, Inc.
("Remedy") alleging that the Company owed Remedy payment in the amount of $2800
for the placement of an employee with the Company. On April 23, 1998, the
Company contacted Remedy seeking documentation with regard to such claim. To
date, the Company has received no such documentation. A copy of the March 17,
1998 letter has been provided to special counsel for the Investors.
In 1996, the Company was sued by Maritz Corporation regarding alleged
trademark infringement. The case was settled in 1996.
33
Section 2.10 Patents and Trademarks
On April 2, 1998, the Company received a letter from its patent attorney

due to a processing error by the Patent and Trademark Office.
