owns any equity securities of any other corporation, limited partnership or
similar entity, other than the ownership by the Company of equity securities of

the charter documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any agreement
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, by which any of them

the accuracy of Purchasers' representations in Section 4 hereof), fully paid and

not be material in amount or effect), in each case in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted
therein.
3.5 ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as disclosed in the Reports
filed with the SEC and made available to Purchasers prior to the date hereof,

respective businesses only in, and have not engaged in any material transaction
other than according to, the ordinary and usual course of such business and

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

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

immediate families, are indebted to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is affiliated or with which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries has a business relationship, or any firm or

due, (ii) minor liens and encumbrances which do not materially detract from the
value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) Liens granted to SOFTBANK pursuant
to the Pledge Agreement and the Guarantees (it being understood that the Liens
previously granted to SOFTBANK shall be terminated on the date of the First
Closing). All facilities, machinery, equipment, fixtures, vehicles and other
properties owned, leased or used by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are

it is a party or is otherwise bound.

Subsidiaries owns or possesses sufficient legal rights to all patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, information
and other proprietary rights and processes necessary for its business as now
conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, without any infringement
known to it 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 and other proprietary rights and processes of any other
Person 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 or currently proposed to be
conducted by the Company or any of its
9
Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
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 employees is obligated under any contract
(including licenses, covenants or commitments or 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 proposed to be conducted, will 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.

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 which, individually or in the
aggregate, would 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 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

result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the suspension, revocation, impairment,
forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, their business or
operations or any of their assets or properties. 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 any
Closing, as contemplated in this Agreement other than items which the failure by
the Company to 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.
3.11 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries 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, might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any
Material Adverse Effect or any change in the current equity ownership of 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 party or subject to the provisions of
any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or other
Governmental Entity.

any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any
other agreement relating to the right of any such individual
13

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

Subsidiaries with its independent contractors, will not result in any such
violation except for such violations which, individually or in the aggregate,

4.3 INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. Such Purchaser is an "accredited investor"
as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
16
Securities Act. Such Purchaser believes it has acquired sufficient information
about the Company and its Subsidiaries to reach an informed decision to purchase

required to give it 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

Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration.
4.5 LEGENDS. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares and any

EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE
STATES OF THE UNITED STATES."
SECTION 5. COVENANTS
5.1 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. (a) If the Company proposes to issue, grant or
sell common stock, preferred stock, other equity securities or Rights, the
Company shall first give to each Purchaser and any transferee of Shares from the
Purchaser (each a "SECURITYHOLDER") written notice setting forth in reasonable
detail the price and other terms on which such equity securities or Rights are
proposed to be issued, granted or sold, the terms of any such Rights and the
amount thereof proposed to be issued, granted or sold. Each Securityholder shall
thereafter have the preemptive right, exercisable by written
17
notice to the Company no later than 15 days after the Company's notice is given,
to purchase the lesser of (i) such Securityholder's Proportionate Share of
the number of such equity securities or Rights that are proposed to be issued,
granted or sold and (ii) the product of: (x) the number of such equity
securities or Rights that are proposed to be issued, granted or sold minus the
number of such equity securities or Rights purchased by the parties to the
Stockholders' Agreement pursuant to their respective preemptive rights contained
in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 thereof and (y) a fraction equal to the number of Shares
held by such Securityholder as of the date notice delivered pursuant to this
section divided by the total number of issued and outstanding Shares held by all
Securityholders. Any such purchase by any Securityholder shall be at the price
and on the other terms set forth in the Company's notice. Any notice by a
Securityholder exercising the right to purchase equity securities or Rights
pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall constitute an irrevocable commitment to
purchase from the Company the equity securities or Rights specified in such
notice, subject to the maximum set forth in this paragraph. If the
Securityholders exercise their preemptive rights set forth in this Section
5.1(a) to the full extent of their rights set forth in this Section 5.1(a), then
the closing of the purchase of equity securities or Rights by Securityholders
shall take place on such date, no less than ten and no more than 60 days after
the expiration of the 15-day period referred to above, as the Company may
select, and the Company shall notify the Securityholders of such closing at
least seven days prior thereto. If all Persons entitled thereto do not exercise
their preemptive rights to the full extent of such preemptive rights and, as
contemplated by Section 5.1(b), the Company shall issue, grant or sell equity
securities or Rights to persons other than Securityholders and the parties to
the Stockholders Agreement, then the closing of the purchase of such equity
securities or Rights shall take place at the same time as the closing of such
issuance, grant or sale.
(b) The Company shall use its good faith and commercially
reasonable efforts to issue, grant or sell the remaining subject equity
securities or Rights on the terms set forth in its notice to Securityholders,
unless the Company is advised by its financial advisors that the remaining
number or amount is too small to be reasonably sold. From the expiration of the
15-day period first referred to in Section 5.1(a) and for a period of 90 days
thereafter, the Company may offer, issue, grant and sell to any person or entity
equity securities or Rights having the terms set forth in the Company's notice
18
relating to such equity securities or Rights at a price and on other terms no
less favorable to the Company, and including no less cash, than those set forth
in such notice (without deduction for reasonable underwriting, sales agency and
similar fees payable in connection therewith); provided, however, that the
Company may not issue, grant or sell equity securities or Rights in an amount
greater than the amount set forth in such notice minus the amount purchased or
committed to be purchased by Securityholders and the parties to the Stockholders
Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 thereof.
(c) The rights set forth in this Section 5.1 shall terminate upon
successful consummation of a firm commitment underwritten initial public
offering of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act.
(d) The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to the
following issuances of securities: (i) pursuant to an approved employee stock
option plan, stock purchase plan, or similar benefit program or agreement, where
the primary purpose is not to raise additional equity capital for the Company,
(ii) as direct consideration for the acquisition by the Company of another
business entity or the merger of any business entity with or into the Company,
in each case provided that the transaction is approved by the vote of a majority
of the outstanding Shares, (iii) in connection with a stock split or dividend or
a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company, in each case provided that
the transaction is approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares,
(iv) upon the exercise of warrants or options, or upon the conversion of
convertible securities, outstanding on the date hereof or as to which
Securityholders have been previously offered the right to participate as
contemplated hereby or, (v) securities issued pursuant to this Agreement at any
Closing, (vi) securities issued in an underwritten public offering registered
under the Securities Act, provided that such offering is approved by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding Shares.
5.2 INFORMATION RIGHTS. The Company shall deliver to the Purchasers (a)
within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, audited annual
financial statements (including a balance sheet, statements of operations and
comprehensive loss, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash
flows), (b) within thirty (30) days after the end of each of the first three

confidential relationship is maintained (including regulators, legal counsel,
accountants, agents or an assignee or a prospective assignee of any of such
Purchaser's rights hereunder), or where required by law. These rights will
terminate upon the successful consummation of a firm commitment underwritten
initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock registered under the
Securities Act.
5.3 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

employees of the Company if such a committee does not exist as of the First
Closing.

to any applicable statutes of limitations).
(b) INDEMNIFICATION. In the event the Company breaches (or in the

money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D)

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 the

Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party will
reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of
