                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


     You should read this summary together with the more detailed information
regarding our company and the common stock being sold in this offering and our
consolidated financial statements and related notes to financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, you
should read the rest of the prospectus before you invest in our common stock.
Read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks described under
"Risk Factors."


     Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this prospectus assumes the
automatic conversion of each outstanding share of preferred stock into one share
of common stock and no exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase
additional shares.


                                PACKETEER, INC.



     Packeteer is a leading provider of network software products that enhance
mission-critical application performance over enterprise wide area networks and
the Internet. An enterprise wide area network, or WAN, is a computer
communications network that extends beyond a single location or office. Our
application-adaptive bandwidth management solutions give businesses and service
providers control of bandwidth at congested WAN access links, the slow-speed
bottlenecks that connect high-speed local area networks, or LANs, with wide area
backbone networks. Our products manage these bottlenecks, allowing network
managers to control bandwidth allocation for each application and enabling them
to protect the performance of their most critical applications.



     We deliver comprehensive application-adaptive bandwidth management by
discovering and classifying network traffic, analyzing application and network
performance, controlling traffic flows and reporting on performance. These four
steps are accomplished through our PacketWise software which is embedded in our
PacketShaper family of products and in the networking products of our technology
partners. Our PacketShaper product family consists of hardware platforms based
on Intel compatible microprocessor technologies. Installing a PacketShaper
imposes no changes to the existing network's equipment, configuration or
software.



     Today, both the Internet and its underlying protocols have grown to
positions of prominence in enterprise networking. From its origins as a network
connecting academic and government institutions, the Internet has evolved into
an interactive communications and commerce platform supporting businesses' daily
operations. Electronic commerce extends the confines of the enterprise network
across the Internet, making application performance difficult to ensure.



     The rapid emergence of Internet computing has created new challenges for
information technology managers. Enterprise users access graphics-intensive web
sites, download large files, view streaming media presentations, monitor news
and stock quotes and access other non-critical information over the Internet. In
enterprise networks that are overwhelmed by increasing amounts of both
non-critical and mission-critical traffic, unmanaged congestion at the WAN
access link undermines application performance and can result in impaired
productivity and lost revenues. Businesses and service providers require
bandwidth management solutions to enhance mission-critical application
performance, increase network efficiency and enable the convergence of data,
voice and video traffic.


     Our application-adaptive bandwidth management solutions enable businesses
and service providers to realize the following key benefits:

     - Gain Network Performance Visibility and Insight. We provide valuable
       historical and real-time information about application performance and
       network utilization.
                                        1
<PAGE>   6

     - Ensure Bandwidth to Mission-Critical Applications. Our policy-based
       bandwidth allocation protects bandwidth for mission-critical applications
       from less critical traffic.

     - Simplify Deployment. Our solutions require no changes to the existing
       network infrastructure, install easily and automatically start to
       discover, classify and analyze network traffic.


     - Enable Interactive Services. We deliver smooth and predictable
       performance of delay-sensitive multimedia services that require
       guaranteed bandwidth, such as Voice over IP, or VoIP, and real-time
       video.


     - Increase Network Efficiency. We improve network efficiency and help delay
       expensive capacity upgrades by managing non-critical traffic and
       smoothing the variability in bandwidth utilization.


     - Facilitate E-Commerce. Our solutions optimize response times for critical
       e-commerce sites such as online retailing or banking by automatically
       redirecting users with slower network connections to less
       graphics-intensive web pages.



     Our objective is to be the leading provider of application-adaptive
bandwidth management solutions to businesses and service providers. We believe
we have established a differentiated market position based on our comprehensive
solution that provides the elements for effective bandwidth management, early
market leadership and brand awareness. We intend to continue to direct our
development and sales and marketing efforts toward addressing the bandwidth
management needs of the Internet computing market. We plan to expand our
presence in the service provider market by providing solutions that enable
service providers to offer higher value-added application-based services. We
intend to continue to build our indirect channel and develop additional
technology partnerships to enable the worldwide deployment of our technology.
Finally, we plan to extend our bandwidth management technology leadership to
increase the performance, functionality and modularity of our existing bandwidth
management solutions and to develop new leading-edge technologies for emerging
markets.



     We have shipped over 2,800 PacketShapers to date and have established a
network of over 100 value-added resellers, or VARs, distributors and systems
integrators that sell our solutions in over 50 countries. In addition, we have
business partners who license our PacketWise software for integration into their
networking products and other partners such as Lucent Technologies, Inc., who
resell our PacketWise-enabled platforms under their private labels.


     We were incorporated in Delaware on January 25, 1996. Our principal
executive offices are located at 10495 North De Anza Boulevard, Cupertino,
California 95014, and our telephone number at that address is (408) 873-4400.

                                  RISK FACTORS


     You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an
investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and
you may lose all or part of your investment.



OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND THE RAPIDLY EVOLVING MARKET WE SERVE MAKES
EVALUATING OUR BUSINESS PROSPECTS DIFFICULT



     We were incorporated in January 1996 and began shipping our products
commercially in February 1997. Because of our limited operating history and the
uncertain nature of the rapidly changing market that we serve, we believe the
prediction of future results of operations is difficult. As an investor in our
common stock, you should consider the risks and difficulties that we face as an
early stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market. Some of the specific
risks we face include our ability to:



     - execute our sales and marketing strategy;



     - maintain current and develop new relationships with key VARs,
       distributors, systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers,
       or OEMs; and



     - expand our domestic and international sales efforts.



WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES, EXPECT OUR EXPENDITURES TO INCREASE AND OUR LOSSES
TO CONTINUE, AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY



     We have incurred losses since we commenced operations in 1996 and may never
achieve profitability. Furthermore, we currently expect that our operating
expenditures will continue to increase significantly and we may not generate a
sufficient level of revenues to offset these expenditures or be able to adjust
spending in a timely manner to respond to any unanticipated decline in revenues.
We incurred net losses of $1.2 million in 1996, $5.9 million in 1997, $8.8
million in 1998 and $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As of
June 30, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit of $21.7 million. Although our
revenues have grown in recent quarters, we cannot be certain when or if we will
realize sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. If revenues grow slower
than we anticipate or if operating expenditures exceed our expectations or
cannot be adjusted accordingly, we may continue to experience significant losses
on a quarterly and annual basis. Even if we achieve profitability, we cannot
assure you that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or
annual basis in the future.



OUR FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS MAY NOT MEET ANALYSTS' EXPECTATIONS AND MAY
FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE



     We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results
cannot be relied upon as an indicator of our future performance. Our operating
results may be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors in
some future quarter. If this occurs, the price of our common stock would likely
decrease. Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the
future on both a quarterly and an annual basis due to a number of factors, many
of which are outside our control. Factors that could cause our operating results
to fluctuate include variations in:


     - the mix of products we sell;

     - the mix of channels through which those products are sold;

                                        4
<PAGE>   9

     - the average selling prices of our products;


     - the timing and size of orders and shipments of our products;



     - the amount and timing of revenues from OEMs; and



     - the amount and timing of our operating expenses.



     In the past, we have experienced fluctuations in operating results. For
example, gross margin decreased from 69.6% for the three months ended December
31, 1997 to 61.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily due to
variations in the mix of products sold and variations in channels through which
products were sold. Research and development expenses have fluctuated due to
increased prototype expenses and consulting fees related to the launch of new
products, increased personnel expenses and costs associated with a facilities
move. Sales and marketing expenses have fluctuated due to increased personnel
expenses, expenditures related to trade shows and the launch of new products.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" for detailed information on our annual and quarterly operating
results.



OUR RELIANCE ON SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS BY OTHERS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PREDICT
OUR REVENUES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



     The timing of our revenues is difficult to predict because of our reliance
on indirect sales channels and the variability of our sales cycle. The length of
our sales cycle for sales through our indirect channel partners to our end users
may vary substantially depending upon the size of the order and the distribution
channel through which our products are sold. We expect to have difficulties in
predicting revenues from OEMs because we are unable to forecast unit sales of
their products which incorporate our technology. Sales from our VARs and systems
integrators to end users typically take three to four months to complete. We are
dependent on timely and accurate inventory information from our indirect channel
partners to enable us to establish channel inventory reserves for indirect
channel partners whose inventory exceeds normal stocking levels. If this
inventory information is not timely or accurate, we could experience increased
levels of sales returns or unforecasted fluctuations in future revenue.



     If revenues forecasted in a particular quarter do not occur in that
quarter, our operating results for that quarter could be adversely affected.
Furthermore, because our expense levels are based on our expectations as to
future revenue and to a large extent are fixed in the short term, a substantial
reduction or delay in sales of our products or the loss of any significant
indirect channel partner could harm our business.



IF THE BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS MARKET FAILS TO GROW, OUR BUSINESS WILL
FAIL



     The market for bandwidth management solutions is in an early stage of
development and its success is not guaranteed. Therefore, we cannot accurately
assess the size of the market, the products needed to address the market, the
optimal distribution strategy, or the competitive environment that will develop.
In order for us to be successful, our potential customers must recognize the
value of more sophisticated bandwidth management solutions, decide to invest in
the management of their networks and the performance of important business
software applications and, in particular, adopt our bandwidth management
solutions. The growth of the bandwidth management solutions market also depends
upon a number of factors, including the availability of inexpensive bandwidth,
especially in international markets, and the growth of wide area networks.


                                        5

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN STRONG PARTNERING RELATIONSHIPS WITH
OUR INDIRECT CHANNEL PARTNERS, OR IF THEIR SALES EFFORTS ON OUR BEHALF ARE NOT
SUCCESSFUL, OUR SALES MAY SUFFER AND OUR REVENUES MAY NOT INCREASE



     We rely on an indirect distribution channel consisting of VARs,
distributors, systems integrators and OEMs for all of our revenues. Because many
of our indirect channel partners also sell competitive products, our success and
revenue growth will depend on our ability to develop and maintain strong
cooperative relationships with significant indirect channel partners, as well as
on the sales efforts and success of those indirect channel partners.



     We cannot assure you that our indirect channel partners will market our
products effectively or continue to devote the resources necessary to provide us
with effective sales, marketing and technical support. In order to support and
develop leads for our indirect distribution channels, we plan to expand our
field sales and support staff significantly. We cannot assure you that this
internal expansion will be successfully completed, that the cost of this
expansion will not exceed the revenues generated or that our expanded sales and
support staff will be able to compete successfully against the significantly
more extensive and well-funded sales and marketing operations of many of our
current or potential competitors. In addition, our indirect channel agreements
are generally not exclusive and one or more of our channel partners may compete
directly with another channel partner for the sale of our products in a
particular region or market. This may cause such channel partners to stop or
reduce their efforts in marketing our products. Our inability to effectively
establish or manage our distribution channels would harm our sales.



COMPETITION FOR SALES AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL IS INTENSE AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO
EXPAND OUR SALES AND SUPPORT STAFF TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF EXISTING AND POTENTIAL
END USERS AND INDIRECT CHANNEL PARTNERS



     We have recently expanded our sales force and plan to hire additional sales
personnel. Competition for qualified sales personnel is intense, and we may not
be able to hire enough qualified sales and support personnel to meet our needs
and the needs of our end users. We currently have a small indirect channel
partner and end-user service and support organization and will need to increase
our staff to support new indirect channel partners and end users and the
expanding needs of existing indirect channel partners and end users.
Additionally, we rely on qualified systems engineers and service and support
personnel to provide pre- and post-sales technical support for our products.
Hiring systems engineers and service and support personnel is very competitive
in our industry due to the limited number of people available with the necessary
technical skills and understanding of our products. Our inability to hire
qualified sales and support personnel may harm our ability to grow our business.



DEVELOPING STRONG OEM RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE TIME AND RESOURCE INTENSIVE AND MAY
NOT RESULT IN THE SUCCESSFUL DEPLOYMENT OF OUR TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS



     One aspect of our sales strategy is to develop relationships with OEM
partners that will license our PacketWise software and incorporate it into their
networking products. If we are not successful in entering into suitable OEM
relationships, our ability to successfully deploy our PacketWise software and
build brand awareness would be harmed. The development of OEM relationships
generally involves a considerable amount of management time and company
resources as potential OEM partners evaluate the viability of integrating our
technology. We cannot assure you that potential OEM partners will enter into a
relationship with us after we have expended these efforts and costs. In
addition, even if we are successful in entering into an OEM relationship, we
cannot assure you that our current or future OEM partners will be able to
integrate our technology into commercially viable


                                        6
<PAGE>   11


products on a timely basis. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that our OEM
partners will give a high priority to the marketing and sale of products which
incorporate our technology or that our OEM partners will not develop competitive
products and decide to terminate or minimize their relationship with us. The
failure to build and maintain successful OEM relationships would have a negative
effect on the deployment of our technology and products.



IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN CURRENT AND FUTURE OEM RELATIONSHIPS, OUR
BUSINESS WILL BE HARMED



     We may be unable to retain our current or future OEM partners. Generally,
OEM relationships can be terminated with little or no notice. Our recent OEM
agreements with ADC Telecommunications, Inc. and Adtran, Inc. are not exclusive
and are each for an initial term of five years, with no obligation for either
ADC or Adtran to renew their respective agreements with us. We expect to enter
into similar OEM relationships in the future. If our relationship with any
current or future OEM partner is terminated by either party, we may not be
successful in replacing such partner on a timely basis or at all with another
suitable OEM partner.



OUR RELIANCE ON OEM PARTNERS FOR THE SALE OF OUR PRODUCTS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO
MANAGE AND FORECAST PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY SCHEDULES AND SALES EXPECTATIONS



     Our inability to forecast the level of orders from OEM partners may make it
difficult to schedule production, manage our contract manufacturers, and
forecast sales. The level and timing of orders placed by OEM partners who
purchase hardware from us may vary due to many factors including OEM partners'
attempts to balance their inventories, changes in the OEM partners'
manufacturing strategies and variation in demand for their products. Due to
product life cycles, competitive and economic conditions, these OEM partners
generally do not commit to firm production schedules in advance. Anticipated
orders from our current or future OEM partners may not materialize or delivery
schedules may be deferred as a result of changes in customer's business needs.
These order fluctuations and deferrals will harm our business.


THE PACKETSHAPER FAMILY OF PRODUCTS AND PACKETWISE SOFTWARE ARE CURRENTLY OUR
ONLY PRODUCTS, AND ALL OF OUR CURRENT REVENUES AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR
FUTURE GROWTH DEPENDS ON THEIR COMMERCIAL SUCCESS


     All of our current revenues and a significant portion of our future growth
depends on the commercial success of our PacketShaper family of products and
PacketWise software, which are the only products that we currently offer. If our
target customers do not widely adopt, purchase and successfully deploy the
PacketShaper family of products or PacketWise software, our revenues will not
grow significantly.



IF OUR INTERNATIONAL SALES EFFORTS ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL TO
GROW



     The failure of our indirect partners to sell our products internationally
will harm our business. Sales to customers outside of North America accounted
for 54.7% of our total net revenues in 1998 and 55.0% of our total net revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. In particular, sales to customers in our
Asia Pacific region accounted for 31.0% of our total net revenues in 1998 and
28.7% of our total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Our
ability to grow will depend in part on the expansion of international sales,
which will require success on the part of our VARs, distributors, systems
integrators and OEMs in marketing our products.



     We intend to expand operations in our existing international markets and to
enter new international markets, which will demand management attention and
financial commitment. We may


                                        7
<PAGE>   12


not be able to successfully expand our international operations. In addition, a
successful expansion of our international operations and sales in foreign
markets will require us to develop relationships with suitable indirect channel
partners operating abroad. We may not be able to identify, attract or retain
these indirect channel partners.



     Furthermore, to increase revenues in international markets, we will need to
continue to establish foreign operations, to hire additional personnel to run
these operations and to maintain good relations with our foreign indirect
channel partners. To the extent that we are unable to successfully do so, our
growth in international sales will be limited.



     Our international sales are currently all U.S. dollar-denominated. As a
result, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign
currencies could make our products less competitive in international markets. In
the future, we may elect to invoice some of our international customers in local
currency. Doing so will subject us to fluctuations in exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and the particular local currency.



SALES TO MACNICA, ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR OUR OTHER LARGE CUSTOMERS WOULD BE
DIFFICULT TO REPLACE IF LOST



     A limited number of indirect channel partners have accounted for a large
part of our revenues to date and we expect that this trend will continue.
Because our expense levels are based on our expectations as to future revenue
and to a large extent are fixed in the short term, any significant reduction or
delay in sales of our products to any significant indirect channel partner or
unexpected returns from these indirect channel partners could harm our business.
Sales to Macnica, Inc. accounted for 11.9% of our total net revenues in 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, sales to ADC Telecommunications
accounted for 10.6% of total net revenues and sales to Macnica accounted for
10.5% of total net revenues. We expect that our largest customers in the future
could be different from our largest customers today. End users can stop
purchasing and indirect channel partners can stop marketing our products at any
time. We cannot assure you that we will retain these indirect channel partners
or that we will be able to obtain additional or replacement partners. The loss
of one or more of our key indirect channel partners or the failure to obtain and
ship a number of large orders each quarter could harm our operating results.



THE LOSS OF EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL TO COMPETITORS OR OUR INABILITY TO ATTRACT AND
RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL COULD SIGNIFICANTLY INTERRUPT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS



     Our future success will depend, to a significant extent, on the ability of
our management to operate effectively, both individually and as a group. Given
our early stage of development, we are dependent on our ability to attract,
retain and motivate high caliber key personnel. Competition for qualified
personnel in the networking industry is intense, and we may not be successful in
attracting and retaining such personnel. There may be only a limited number of
persons with the requisite skills to serve in these key positions and it may
become increasingly difficult to hire such persons. We are actively searching
for systems engineers, research and development engineers and sales and
marketing personnel, all of whom are in short supply. Our business will suffer
if we encounter delays in hiring these additional personnel.



     Competitors and others have in the past and may in the future attempt to
recruit our employees. We do not have employment contracts with any of our
personnel. We currently maintain "key person" life insurance on Craig W.
Elliott, our chief executive officer, Robert L. Packer, our chief technology
officer, and Brett D. Galloway, our vice president of engineering and chief
operating officer. The loss of the services of any of our senior management
could negatively impact our ability to carry out our business plan.


                                        8
<PAGE>   13


WE MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHER COMPANIES IN OUR MARKET
SECTOR WHO ARE SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER AND MORE ESTABLISHED AND WHO HAVE
SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESOURCES THAN OUR COMPANY



     We compete in a new, rapidly evolving and highly competitive sector of the
networking technology market. We expect competition to persist and intensify in
the future from a number of different sources. Increased competition could
result in reduced prices and gross margins for our products and could require
increased spending by us on research and development, any of which could harm
our business. We compete with Cisco Systems, Inc. and CheckPoint Software
Technologies Ltd., which sell products incorporating competing technologies. We
also compete with several small private companies which utilize competing
technologies to provide bandwidth management. In addition, our products and
technology compete for information technology budget allocations with products
that offer monitoring capabilities, such as probes and related software. Lastly,
we face indirect competition from companies that offer enterprises and service
providers increased bandwidth and infrastructure upgrades that increase the
capacity of their networks, which may lessen or delay the need for bandwidth
management solutions.



     Many of our competitors are substantially larger than we are and have
significantly greater financial, sales and marketing, technical, manufacturing
and other resources and more established distribution channels. These
competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging technologies
and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the
development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. We have
encountered, and expect to encounter, customers who are extremely confident in
and committed to the product offerings of our competitors. Furthermore, some of
our competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative
relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability
to rapidly gain market share by addressing the needs of our prospective
customers. These competitors may enter our existing or future markets with
solutions that may be less expensive, provide higher performance or additional
features or be introduced earlier than our solutions. Given the market
opportunity in the bandwidth management solutions market, we also expect that
other companies may enter our market with alternative products and technologies.
If any technology that is competing with ours is or becomes more reliable,
higher performing, less expensive or has other advantages over our technology,
then the demand for our products and services would decrease, which would harm
our business.



     Successful new product introductions or enhancements by our competitors
could reduce the sales or market acceptance of our products and services,
perpetuate intense price competition or make our products obsolete. To be
competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and
development, sales and marketing and customer support. We cannot be sure that we
will have sufficient resources to make such investments or that we will be able
to make the technological advances necessary to be competitive. Increased
competition is likely to result in price reductions, reduced gross margins,
longer sales cycles and loss of market share, any of which would harm our
business.



IF WE DO NOT EXPAND OR ENHANCE OUR PRODUCT OFFERINGS OR RESPOND EFFECTIVELY TO
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE, OUR BUSINESS MAY NOT GROW



     Our future performance will depend on the successful development,
introduction and market acceptance of new and enhanced products that address
customer requirements in a cost-effective manner. We cannot assure you that our
technological approach will achieve broad market acceptance or that other
technologies or solutions will not supplant our approach. The bandwidth
management solutions market is characterized by rapid technological change,
frequent new product introductions, changes in customer requirements and
evolving industry standards. The introduction of new products,


                                        9
<PAGE>   14


market acceptance of products based on new or alternative technologies, or the
emergence of new industry standards, could render our existing products obsolete
or make it easier for other products to compete with our products. Developments
in router-based queuing schemes could also significantly reduce demand for our
product. Alternative technologies, including packet-queuing technology, could
achieve widespread market acceptance. Our future success will depend in large
part upon our ability to:


     - develop and maintain competitive products;

     - enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our
       products from those of our competitors;

     - bring products to market on a timely basis at competitive prices;

     - identify and respond to emerging technological trends in the market; and

     - respond effectively to new technological changes or new product
       announcements by others.


     We have in the past experienced delays in product development. Such delays
may occur in the future and could result in a loss of customers and market
share.



INTRODUCTION OF OUR NEW PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE CUSTOMERS TO DEFER PURCHASES OF OUR
EXISTING PRODUCTS WHICH COULD HARM OUR OPERATING RESULTS


     When we announce new products or product enhancements that have the
potential to replace or shorten the life cycle of our existing products,
customers may defer purchasing our existing products. These actions could harm
our operating results by unexpectedly decreasing sales, increasing our inventory
levels of older products and exposing us to greater risk of product
obsolescence.


IF WE ARE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH, WE MAY EXPERIENCE OPERATING
INEFFICIENCIES AND HAVE DIFFICULTY MEETING DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTS



     We have rapidly and significantly expanded our operations and anticipate
that further significant expansion will be required to address potential growth
in our customer base and market opportunities. This expansion could place a
significant strain on our management, products and support operations, sales and
marketing personnel and other resources, which could harm our business. To
manage the anticipated growth of our operations, we will be required to:


     - effectively manage multiple relationships with our VARs, distributors,
       systems integrators, OEMs, contract manufacturers and other third
       parties;

     - hire, train and manage additional qualified personnel;

     - expand and upgrade our core technologies; and


     - implement new and improve existing operational, financial and management
       information controls, reporting systems and procedures.



     In the future, we may experience difficulties meeting the demand for our
products and services. The installation and use of our products requires
training. If we are unable to provide training and support for our products, the
implementation process will be longer and customer satisfaction may be lower. In
addition, our management team may not be able to achieve the rapid execution
necessary to fully exploit the market for our products and services. We cannot
assure you that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support
the anticipated growth in our operations.


                                       10
<PAGE>   15

     We may not be able to install management information and control systems in
an efficient and timely manner, and our current or planned personnel, systems,
procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations.

THE AVERAGE SELLING PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD DECREASE RAPIDLY WHICH MAY
NEGATIVELY IMPACT GROSS MARGINS AND REVENUES

     We may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in future
operating results due to the erosion of our average selling prices. The average
selling prices of our products could decrease in the future in response to
competitive pricing pressures, increased sales discounts, new product
introductions by us or our competitors or other factors. Therefore, to maintain
our gross margins, we must develop and introduce on a timely basis new products
and product enhancements and continually reduce our product costs. Our failure
to do so would cause our revenue and gross margins to decline.


OUR RELIANCE ON PEMSTAR, INC. AND SANMINA CORPORATION FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF
OUR MANUFACTURING REQUIREMENTS COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE ORDERS IF THESE THIRD
PARTY MANUFACTURERS FAIL TO SATISFY OUR COST, QUALITY AND DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS



     We currently contract with PEMSTAR, Inc. and Sanmina Corporation, for the
manufacture of all of our current products. Any manufacturing disruption could
impair our ability to fulfill orders. Our future success will depend, in
significant part, on our ability to have others manufacture our products
cost-effectively and in sufficient volumes. We face a number of risks associated
with our dependence on third-party manufacturers including:


     - reduced control over delivery schedules;

     - the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand;

     - manufacturing yields and costs;

     - quality assurance; and

     - increases in prices and the potential misappropriation of our
       intellectual property.


     We have no long-term contracts or arrangements with any of our vendors that
guarantee product availability, the continuation of particular payment terms or
the extension of credit limits. We have experienced in the past, and may
experience in the future, problems with our contract manufacturers, such as
inferior quality, insufficient quantities and late delivery of product. We may
not be able to obtain additional volume purchase or manufacturing arrangements
on terms that we consider acceptable, if at all. If we enter into a high-volume
or long-term supply arrangement and subsequently decide that we cannot use the
products or services provided for in the agreement, our business will be harmed.
We cannot assure you that we can effectively manage our contract manufacturers
or that these manufacturers will meet our future requirements for timely
delivery of products of sufficient quality or quantity. Any of these
difficulties could harm our relationships with customers and cause us to lose
orders.



     In the future, we may seek to use additional contract manufacturers. We may
experience difficulty in locating and qualifying suitable manufacturing
candidates capable of satisfying our product specifications or quantity
requirements. Further, new third-party manufacturers may encounter difficulties
in the manufacture of our products resulting in product delivery delays.


                                       11

MOST OF THE COMPONENTS FOR OUR PRODUCTS COME FROM SINGLE OR LIMITED SOURCES, AND
WE COULD LOSE SALES IF THESE SOURCES FAIL TO SATISFY OUR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

     Almost all of the components used in our products are obtained from single
or limited sources. Our products have been designed to incorporate a particular
set of components. As a result, our desire to change the components of our
products or our inability to obtain suitable components on a timely basis would
require engineering changes to our products before we could incorporate
substitute components.


     We do not have any long-term supply contracts to ensure sources of supply.
If our contract manufacturers fail to obtain components in sufficient quantities
when required, our business could be harmed. Our suppliers also sell products to
our competitors. Our suppliers may enter into exclusive arrangements with our
competitors, stop selling their products or components to us at commercially
reasonable prices or refuse to sell their products or components to us at any
price. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of sole-sourced or
limited-sourced components, or to develop alternative sources for components or
products would harm our ability to grow our business.



OUR PRODUCTS MAY HAVE ERRORS OR DEFECTS THAT WE FIND AFTER THE PRODUCTS HAVE
BEEN SOLD, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES, INCREASE OUR COSTS AND
THE MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS



     Our products are complex and may contain undetected defects, errors or
failures in either the hardware or software. In addition, because our products
plug into our end users' existing networks between the WAN access router and the
enterprise local area network, or LAN, they can directly affect the
functionality of the network. We have in the past encountered errors in our
products, which in a few instances resulted in complete network failures.
Additional errors may occur in our products in the future. The occurrence of
defects, errors or failures could result in the failure of our customer's
network or mission-critical applications, delays in installation, product
returns and other losses to us or to our customers or end users. In addition, we
would have limited experience responding to new problems that could arise with
any new products that we introduce. These occurrences could also result in the
loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products, which could harm our
business.


     We may also be subject to liability claims for damages related to product
errors. While we carry insurance policies covering this type of liability, these
policies may not provide sufficient protection should a claim be asserted. A
material product liability claim may harm our business.


ANY ACQUISITIONS WE MAKE COULD RESULT IN DILUTION, UNFAVORABLE ACCOUNTING
CHARGES AND DIFFICULTIES IN SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING OUR BUSINESS


     We continually evaluate strategic acquisitions of other businesses. If we
were to consummate an acquisition, we would be subject to a number of risks,
including the following:


     - difficulty in integrating the acquired operations and retaining acquired
       personnel;



     - limitations on our ability to retain acquired distribution channels and
       customers;



     - diversion of management's attention and disruption of our ongoing
       business; and



     - limitations on our ability to successfully incorporate acquired
       technology and rights into our service offerings and maintain uniform
       standards, controls, procedures, and policies.


     We may not successfully overcome problems encountered in connection with
potential acquisitions. In addition, an acquisition could harm our operating
results by diluting our stockholders' equity, causing us to incur additional
debt, or requiring us to amortize acquisition expenses and acquired assets.

                                       12
<PAGE>   17


     Finally, recent and proposed changes by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) and the SEC in the rules for merger accounting may affect our
ability to make acquisitions or be acquired. For example, elimination of the
"pooling" method of accounting for mergers increases the amount of goodwill that
we would be required to recognize if we acquire another company, which would
have an adverse financial impact on our future net loss or net income. The
requirement to capitalize in-process research and development costs in
connection with an acquisition could result in goodwill which must be amortized
over several years, increasing our losses or reducing our net income.



FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY WOULD RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT HARM TO OUR BUSINESS



     Our success depends significantly upon our proprietary technology and our
failure or inability to protect our proprietary technology would result in
significant harm to our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright
and trademark laws, and on trade secrets and confidentiality provisions and
other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. These measures
afford only limited protection. We currently have one issued U.S. patent and 10
pending patent applications including one for which we have received a notice of
allowance. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the U.S. or abroad
may not be adequate and competitors may independently develop similar
technologies. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to protect
our proprietary rights and the technologies used in our principal products.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights and technologies
unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain
and use trade secrets or other information that we regard as proprietary. Legal
proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights could be burdensome and
expensive and could involve a high degree of uncertainty. These legal
proceedings may also divert management's attention from growing our business. In
addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary
rights as fully as do the laws of the U.S. Issued patents may not preserve our
proprietary position. If we do not enforce and protect our intellectual
property, our business will suffer substantial harm.



CLAIMS BY OTHERS THAT WE INFRINGE ON THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS COULD BE
COSTLY TO DEFEND AND COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS


     We may be subject to claims by others that our products infringe on their
intellectual property rights. These claims, whether or not valid, could require
us to spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages, delay product
shipments, reengineer our products or acquire licenses to such third-party
intellectual property. We may not be able to secure any required licenses on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We expect that we will increasingly be
subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in the
bandwidth management solutions market grows and the functionality of products
overlaps. Any of these claims or resulting events could harm our business.

IF OUR PRODUCTS DO NOT COMPLY WITH EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND GOVERNMENT
REGULATIONS, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED


     The market for bandwidth management solutions is characterized by the need
to support industry standards as these different standards emerge, evolve and
achieve acceptance. In the United States, our products must comply with various
regulations and standards defined by the Federal Communications Commission and
Underwriters Laboratories. Internationally, products that we develop may be
required to comply with standards established by telecommunications authorities
in various countries as well as with recommendations of the International
Telecommunication Union. To remain competitive we must continue to introduce new
products and product enhancements that meet these emerging U.S. and
International standards. However, in the future we may not be able to
effectively address the

                                       13
<PAGE>   18


compatibility and interoperability issues that arise as a result of
technological changes and evolving industry standards. Failure to comply with
existing or evolving industry standards or to obtain timely domestic or foreign
regulatory approvals or certificates could harm our business.



OUR GROWTH AND OPERATING RESULTS WOULD BE IMPAIRED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO MEET OUR
FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS


     We currently anticipate that the proceeds of this offering, together with
our existing cash balances and available line of credit will be sufficient to
meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need
to raise additional funds if our estimates of revenues, working capital or
capital expenditure requirements change or prove inaccurate or in order for us
to respond to unforeseen technological or marketing hurdles or to take advantage
of unanticipated opportunities.

     In addition, we expect to review potential acquisitions that would
complement our existing product offerings or enhance our technical capabilities.
While we have no current agreements or negotiations underway with respect to any
such acquisition, any future transaction of this nature could require
potentially significant amounts of capital. Such funds may not be available at
the time or times needed, or available on terms acceptable to us. If adequate
funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be
able to take advantage of market opportunities to develop new products or to
otherwise respond to competitive pressures.


ADDITIONAL SHARES HELD BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE SOLD INTO THE PUBLIC
MARKET IN THE FUTURE, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE



     Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock after this offering
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our
ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. After
completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 26,153,884 shares of
common stock, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or warrants after June
30, 1999 and no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The
4,000,000 shares of common stock sold in this offering, which would be 4,600,000
shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option to purchase additional shares
is exercised in full, will be freely tradable without restriction or further
registration under the federal securities laws unless purchased by our
"affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144. The remaining 22,153,884
shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering will be
"restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144.


     All of our stockholders, option holders and warrant holders are subject to
agreements that limit their ability so sell their shares of common stock. These
securityholders cannot sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock
for a period of at least 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the
prior written approval of BancBoston Robertson Stephens or us in certain cases.
When these agreements expire, these shares and the shares underlying the options
will become eligible for sale, in some cases only pursuant to the volume, manner
of sale and notice requirements of Rule 144. See "Management -- Employee Benefit
Plans," "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Underwriting."


OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL ALL MATTERS
REQUIRING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL INCLUDING DELAYING OR PREVENTING A CHANGE IN OUR
CORPORATE CONTROL



     After this offering, our executive officers and directors and their
affiliates will together control approximately 54.0% of the outstanding common
stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to
control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of
directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration
of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change
in control of Packeteer, could deprive our


                                       14
<PAGE>   19

stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as
part of a sale of Packeteer and might affect the market price of our common
stock.


CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF OUR CHARTER AND OF DELAWARE LAW MAKE A TAKEOVER OF
PACKETEER MORE DIFFICULT, WHICH COULD LOWER THE MARKET PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK


     Our corporate documents and Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law could discourage, delay or prevent a third party or a significant
stockholder from acquiring control of Packeteer. In addition, provisions of our
certificate of incorporation may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving Packeteer. Any of
these anti-takeover provisions could lower the market price of the common stock
and could deprive our stockholders of the opportunity to receive a premium for
their common stock that they might otherwise receive from the sale of Packeteer.

YOU WILL INCUR SUBSTANTIAL AND IMMEDIATE DILUTION


     You will incur substantial and immediate dilution in the net tangible book
value of $0.03 per share. Net tangible book value per share represents the
amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of
shares of common stock then outstanding. To the extent that currently
outstanding options and warrants are exercised or converted, there will be
further dilution in your shares. See "Dilution."



YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS MAY DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS AND THE COSTS TO CORRECT THESE
PROBLEMS MAY BE MATERIAL



     Some computers, software, and other equipment include computer code in
which calendar year data is abbreviated to only two digits. As a result of this
design decision, some of these systems could fail to operate or fail to produce
correct results if "00" is interpreted to mean 1900, rather than 2000. As a
result, computer systems and software used by many companies and governmental
agencies may need to be upgraded to comply with year 2000 requirements or risk
system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of normal business
activities. These problems are widely expected to increase in frequency and
severity as the year 2000 approaches, and are commonly referred to as the "year
2000 problem." We have begun to identify measures to address the issues arising
from the year 2000 problem. The risks associated with being year 2000 compliant
are unknown. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Year 2000 readiness disclosure."



THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES



     This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are not historical
facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections
about our industry, our beliefs and assumptions. Word such as "anticipates",
"expects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates" and variations
of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are
beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include those described in "Risk
Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our
management's view only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no
obligation to update these statements or publicly release the results of any
revisions to the forward-looking statements that we may make to reflect events
or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS


     Our net proceeds from the sale and issuance of 4,000,000 shares of common
stock are estimated to be approximately $39.9 million (approximately $46.0
million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), at an
assumed offering price of $11.00 per share and after deducting the estimated
underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses
payable by Packeteer.



     We will use $2.5 million of the net proceeds to repay a subordinated loan
which bears interest at a rate of 12.25% per annum. Other than the repayment of
this debt, we have not made any specific expenditure plans with respect to the
proceeds of this offering. Therefore, we cannot specify with certainty the
particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon completion of this
offering. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in
applying the net proceeds of the offering.



     In addition, we intend to use a portion of the net proceeds for general
corporate purposes including working capital and to fund our operations. We may
also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire complementary businesses,
products or technologies. From time to time, we evaluate these potential
acquisitions and we anticipate continuing to make such evaluations. We have no
current plans, agreements or commitments with respect to any such acquisitions.
Pending any of these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering
in short-term, interest-bearing, investment grade securities.


                                DIVIDEND POLICY

     We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and
we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the
foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for
use in our business. Our line of credit arrangement prohibits us to pay
dividends without the lender's prior consent.

     The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 1999:


     - on an actual basis;

     - on a pro forma basis giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding
       shares of preferred stock into common stock upon completion of the
       offering; and


     - as adjusted to reflect the receipt by Packeteer of the estimated net
       proceeds from the sale of the 4,000,000 shares of common stock offered by
       Packeteer at an assumed offering price of $11.00 per share and after
       deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and the

                                    DILUTION


     As of June 30, 1999 our net tangible book value was $327,000, or $0.03 per
share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount
of total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares
of common stock then outstanding.



     After giving effect to the sale of 4,000,000 shares of common stock offered
by Packeteer, at an assumed offering price of $11.00 per share and after
deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated
expenses related to this offering, our net tangible book value on June 30, 1999
would have been $40.2 million, or approximately $1.54 per share. This represents
an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.51 per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate dilution of $9.46 per share to new investors. The
following table illustrates this per share dilution:

     - 2,506,750 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options
       outstanding under Packeteer's 1996 Equity Incentive Plan at a weighted
       average exercise price of $3.21 per share;



     - 200,628 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
       warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $3.67 per share;



     - 1,333,167 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our
       1999 Stock Incentive Plan;



     - 500,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our
       1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and



     - 228,999 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options
       outstanding outside of our equity plans.


     The issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of these
options and warrants will result in further dilution to new investors. See
"Capitalization," "Management -- Employee Benefit Plans," "Description of
Capital Stock" and Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in
this prospectus.

OVERVIEW


     Packeteer is a leading provider of network software products that enhance
mission-critical application performance over WANs and the Internet. We market
and distribute our products via a worldwide network of VARs, distributors,
systems integrators and OEMs. We have subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Japan and The
Netherlands.



     We were incorporated in January 1996. From our inception through January
1997, our operating activities related primarily to establishing a research and
development organization, developing and testing prototype designs, establishing
a sales and marketing organization and developing customer, vendor and
manufacturing relationships. We shipped our first product, the PacketShaper
2000, in February 1997. Since then, we have focused on developing additional
products and product enhancements, building our worldwide indirect sales channel
and establishing our sales, marketing and customer support organizations. We
began shipments of the PacketShaper 1000 and 4000 in October 1997. Since
inception, we have incurred significant losses and as of June 30, 1999, had an
accumulated deficit of $21.7 million.



     Our revenues consist primarily of product sales and, to a lesser extent,
licensing fees from an OEM partner. Our product revenues consist of sales of our
PacketShaper family of products. We recognize product revenues once the customer
issues a noncancelable purchase order and the product has been shipped to the
customer. Maintenance revenue is deferred and amortized over the period of the
contract. Service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.
Maintenance and service revenues to date have not been material. We routinely
analyze and provide, as necessary, reserves at the time of shipment for product
returns and allowances. We have estimated these reserves based on our experience
since we began shipping. These amounts have not been significant to date. Our
ability to estimate these reserves is limited to the short history we have of
shipping products. Our licensing revenues currently consist of licensing fees
and may in the future include royalty payments from unit sales of OEM products
that incorporate our technology. We recognize OEM license fees, which include
post-contract customer support, when the software has been shipped to the
customer, the fees are fixed and determinable and there is evidence of the fair
value of the post-contract customer support. When evidence of fair value of
post-contract customer support does not exist, revenues are recognized ratably
over the support period.


     We sell our products worldwide exclusively through VARs, distributors,
systems integrators and OEMs. We use indirect channels to leverage the reach of
our sales force to obtain worldwide coverage. Our sales force and marketing
efforts are used to develop brand awareness and support our indirect channels.


     Our cost of revenues consists primarily of the cost of finished products
purchased from our two turnkey manufacturers, documentation and other overhead
costs. We outsource the manufacturing of the PacketShaper 1000 and PacketShaper
2000 to PEMSTAR and the PacketShaper 4000 to Sanmina.



     Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related
personnel expenses, consultant fees and prototype expenses related to the
design, development, testing and enhancement of the PacketShaper family of
products and PacketWise software. As of June 30, 1999, all research


                                       20
<PAGE>   25


and development costs have been expensed as incurred. We believe that continued
investment in research and development is critical to attaining our strategic
product and cost reduction objectives. We expect these expenses to increase
significantly in the future as we continue to develop new products and enhance
existing products.


     Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and
related personnel expenses for those engaged in the sales, marketing and support
of the product as well as related trade show, promotional and public relations
expenses. We intend to pursue sales and marketing campaigns aggressively and
therefore expect these expenses to increase in the future.

     General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and
related personnel expenses for executive, accounting and administrative
personnel, professional fees and other general corporate expenses. As we add
personnel and incur additional costs related to the growth of our business, we
expect that general and administrative expenses will also increase.


     Amortization of stock-based compensation resulted from the granting of
stock options to employees and consultants with exercise prices per share
determined to be below the deemed fair value per share of our common stock on
the dates of grant for financial reporting purposes. The stock-based
compensation is being amortized to expense in accordance with FASB
Interpretation No. 28 over the vesting period of the individual options,
generally four years. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $537,000
and $1.8 million in 1998 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
respectively, leaving $3.3 million to be amortized in future periods.



     There was no provision for federal or California state income taxes for any
period since we have incurred operating losses since inception. As of December
31, 1998, we had $13.8 million of net loss carryforwards for federal income tax
purposes and $12.1 million of net loss carryforwards for California state income
tax purposes. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject
to annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations contained in the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. Annual limitations
may result in the expiration of the net operating losses before we can utilize
them. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates
beginning in 2010 through 2018 if we do not use them. See Note 6 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

</TABLE>



Six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999



     Total net revenues. Our total net revenues increased by $4.2 million from
$2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $7.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of 142.7%. This increase was due to an
increased number of units sold relating to channel development and increased
product acceptance, and the revenue from the ADC Telecommunications agreement.
Product revenues increased by $3.4 million from $2.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an
increase of 117.0%. Product revenues comprised all of total net revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, and 89.4% of total net revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. Licensing revenues were $750,000, or 10.6% of total
net revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 1999, which consisted of
revenues from the ADC agreement. We recorded no licensing revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1998.



     Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased by $857,000 from $1.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of 80.1%. The cost of revenues was 36.7%
of total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
27.2% of total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease
in cost of revenues as a percentage of total net revenues was primarily due to
increased economies of scale and, to a lesser extent, reductions in
manufacturing costs.



     Research and development. Research and development expenses increased by
$1.0 million from $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $2.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of 90.1%. The
absolute dollar increase was due primarily to increases in staffing and related
personnel costs of $606,000 and, to a lesser extent, related overhead and
consulting costs. Research and development expenses represented 40.0% of total
net revenues for the


                                       22
<PAGE>   27


six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 31.4% of total net revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in research and development
expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was due to increased net
revenues.



     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2.2 million
from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $5.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of 63.0%. The absolute dollar
increase was primarily due to increases in staffing, related personnel costs of
$1.3 million and, to a lesser extent, increased marketing activities. Sales and
marketing expenses were 118.9% of total net revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to 79.9% of total net revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a
percentage of total net revenues was due to increased net revenues.



     General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
by $396,000 from $746,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of 53.1%. The absolute
dollar increase was primarily due to increases in staffing and related personnel
costs of $247,000 to support our growth and, to a lesser extent, consulting and
professional services costs. General and administrative expenses were 25.6% of
total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 16.1%
of total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was
due to increased net revenues.



     Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net consisted
primarily of interest income and interest expense. Other income (expense), net
decreased by $209,000 from $135,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to an
expense of $74,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of 154.8%.
Interest income earned increased by $39,000 from $159,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 to $198,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an
increase of 24.5%. This increase was due to increased interest earned on higher
average levels of cash. Interest expense increased by $247,000 from $23,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $270,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was due to increased interest expense related to our
financing activities.


Years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998


     Total net revenues. Our total net revenues increased by $5.8 million from
$1.4 million in 1997 to $7.2 million in 1998, an increase of 411.7%. Product
revenues increased by $5.7 million from $1.4 million in 1997 to $7.1 million in
1998, an increase of 402.8%. This increase was due to increased unit sales as a
result of the addition of indirect channel partners and the sales of the
PacketShaper 1000 and 4000 for the full year in 1998, as compared to 1997, in
which those models were not introduced until the fourth quarter. Licensing
revenues were $125,000 in 1998, which consisted of revenues from the OEM
licensing agreement with ADC Telecommunications that we signed in December 1998.
We recorded no licensing revenues in 1997.



     Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues increased by $1.9 million from
$457,000 in 1997 to $2.4 million in 1998, an increase of 422.1%. The increase in
cost of revenues in absolute dollars was due to an increased number of units
sold. The cost of revenues was 32.3% of total net revenues in 1997 and 33.0% of
total net revenues in 1998.



     Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased by
$153,000 from $3.0 million for 1997 to $2.8 million for 1998, a decrease of
5.2%. Decreases in consulting and other nonpersonnel-related costs were offset
by $550,000 in personnel related expenses tied to higher headcount. Research and
development expenses represented 207.5% of total net revenues in 1997 as
compared to 38.4% of total net revenues in 1998. The decrease in research and
development expenses


                                       23
<PAGE>   28


as a percentage of total net revenues was due to relatively unchanged expenses
coupled with increased net revenues.



     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.7 million
from $3.2 million in 1997 to $8.9 million in 1998, an increase of 176.2%. This
increase was primarily due to increased headcount costs and related commissions
of approximately $2.3 million, marketing communication programs of approximately
$1.0 million and, to a lesser extent, consulting and travel expenses. Sales and
marketing expenses represented 227.2% of total net revenues in 1997 as compared
to 122.6% of total net revenues in 1998. This decrease in sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of total net revenues was due to increased sales.



     General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
by $816,000 from $934,000 for 1997 to $1.8 million in 1998, an increase of
87.4%. This absolute dollar increase was primarily due to increases in staffing
and related personnel costs of approximately $400,000 and, to a lesser extent,
miscellaneous other costs. General and administrative expenses represented 66.1%
of total net revenues in 1997 as compared to 24.2% of total net revenues in
1998. This decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
total net revenues was due to increased sales.



     Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net increased by
$78,000 from $211,000 in 1997 to $289,000 in 1998, an increase of 37.0%. This
absolute dollar increase was due to increased interest earned on higher average
levels of cash. Interest income increased by $129,000 from $238,000 in 1997 to
$367,000 in 1998, an increase of 54.2%. This increase was due to increased
interest earned on higher average levels of cash. Interest expense increased by
$51,000 from $27,000 in 1997 to $78,000 in 1998, an increase of 188.9%. This
increase was due to increased financing costs.


Period from inception through December 31, 1996


     During the period from January 25, 1996, the date of inception, through
December 31, 1996, our operating activities related primarily to development of
the PacketShaper product, recruitment and training of personnel, raising capital
and development of sales channels. We recognized no revenue and incurred
operating expenses of $1.3 million during the period. Accordingly, we believe a
comparison of operating results for that period with the operating results in
1997 is not meaningful and have therefore omitted that discussion.

the three months ended March 31, 1997, due to an increased number of units sold
resulting from the development of indirect sales channels, marketing the
PacketShaper and PacketWise brands and development of new products and feature
enhancements to existing products. Our sales strategy is to continue to develop
indirect sales channels, to increase marketing of the PacketShaper and
PacketWise brands and to develop new products and feature enhancements to
existing products.



     Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues has increased in absolute dollars
each quarter since the three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily due to
increased sales. Fluctuations in the cost of revenues as a percentage of total
net revenues have resulted from variations in the mix of products sold and
variations in the channel mix. During the first three quarters of 1997, our
units shipped were manufactured by small volume specialty house manufacturers
rather than by our current high-volume contract manufacturers. Our gross margin
increased in the three months ended December 31, 1997 consistent with our launch
of the PacketShaper 4000, which is our highest margin product. Gross margin
increased from 68.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to 70.6% for
the three months ended December 31, 1998 to 72.4% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 to 73.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increases,
beginning in the three months ended December 31, 1998, were due to the
recognition of licensing revenues from our OEM relationship with ADC
Telecommunications.



     Research and development. Our research and development expenses have
fluctuated in absolute dollars since the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Research and development expenses increased in the three months ended June 30,
1997 and September 30, 1997 due to increased prototype expenses and consulting
fees related to the launch of the PacketShaper 1000 and 4000 models. Research
and development expenses increased in the three months ended December 31, 1997
primarily due to increased personnel expenses and costs associated with a
facilities move. Research and development expenses increased in the three months
ended December 31, 1998 due to the hiring of additional engineers and increasing
consulting fees related to new product development initiatives. Research and
development expenses have generally decreased as a percentage of total net
revenues, due to increased net revenues.



     Sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses have generally
increased in absolute dollars since the three months ended March 31, 1997,
primarily due to increased salaries, commissions and related personnel expenses.
Marketing expenses generally increased in the second and fourth quarters of 1997
and 1998 due to increased expenditures related to trade shows. Sales and
marketing expenses increased for the three months ended December 31, 1997, due
to increased expenditures related to the launch of the PacketShaper 1000 and
4000 models. Sales and marketing expenses have generally decreased as a
percentage of total net revenues, due to increased net revenues.



     General and administrative. General and administrative expenses have
generally increased in absolute dollars since the three months ended March 31,
1997, primarily due to the addition of finance, information technology and
administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses increased for the
three months ended December 31, 1997, primarily due to the costs associated with
a facilities move. General and administrative expenses have generally decreased
as a percentage of total net revenues, primarily due to increased net revenues.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


     We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of preferred stock
and other financing activities such as bank credit against accounts receivable,
subordinated debt offerings and capital equipment leasing. As of June 30, 1999,
we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $7.7 million which
included amounts borrowed under our credit facilities.


                                       26
<PAGE>   31


     We have a lease to finance the acquisition of computer software and
hardware, and furniture. The lease expires on June 30, 1999. We entered into a
revolving credit facility against accounts receivable in January 1999 which
provides borrowings of up to $3.0 million. Borrowings under this credit facility
bear interest at the prime rate, which was 7.75% as of June 30, 1999, and are
due upon demand and are secured by substantially all of our assets. As of June
30, 1999, we had an outstanding balance of $1.5 million. The agreement expires
on January 10, 2000. We also entered into subordinated loan and security
agreements in January and May 1999. Borrowings under these loans were $2.5
million individually, bear interest at a rate of 12.25% and 12.76% per annum,
respectively, and are secured by all of our tangible assets.



     Net cash used by operating activities was $3.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. Net cash used by operating activities during the six months
ended June 30, 1999 was primarily due to net losses and decreases in deferred
revenues and accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in accounts
receivable. Net cash used by operating activities was $7.0 million in 1998 and
$6.1 million in 1997. During 1997 and 1998, net cash used by operating
activities was primarily due to net losses and increases in accounts receivable,
partially offset by increases in deferred revenue and accrued expenses.



     Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 as a result of net purchases of short-term investments and
property and equipment. Net cash used by investing activities was $605,000 in
1997 and $2.6 million in 1998. Cash was used during these periods to acquire
property and equipment and purchase investments. There were no short-term
investments at December 31, 1997. We currently do not have significant capital
spending or short-term purchase commitments, but expect to continue to engage in
capital spending in the ordinary course of business. During 1998, we expensed as
incurred all software development costs.



     Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The net increase was primarily due to subordinated
debt offerings that resulted in proceeds of $5.0 million and a revolving credit
facility against accounts receivables that netted $1.5 million. Net cash
provided by financing activities in 1997 was $4.9 million and $9.7 million in
1998. Net cash used by financing activities in 1997 and 1998 primarily
represented repayment of indebtedness. Net cash provided by financing activities
during 1997 and 1998 was primarily due to the issuance of preferred stock.


     We expect to experience growth in our working capital needs for the
foreseeable future in order to execute our business plan. We anticipate that
operating activities, as well as planned capital expenditures, will constitute a
material use of our cash resources. In addition, we may utilize cash resources
to fund acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or
products. We believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our
current cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and available
borrowings under our line of credit, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated
cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the
next 12 months.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


     Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to our cash equivalents and short-term investments. The short-term investments
are available for sale. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our
investment portfolio. As stated in our investment policy, we are averse to
principal loss and ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by
limiting default and market risks. We mitigate default risk by investing in only
investment-grade securities. The portfolio includes marketable securities with
active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. All short-term
investments have a fixed interest rate and are carried at market value, which
approximates cost.


                                       27
<PAGE>   32

     As of December 31, 1998, we had cash equivalents and short-term investments
of $4.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%. These investments
mature in 1999.


     A hypothetical increase or decrease in market interest rates of 10% from
the December 31, 1998 rates would cause the fair value of these investments to
change by an insignificant amount.



     We invoice all of our foreign customers from the United States in U.S.
dollars and all revenues are collected in U.S. dollars. In addition, we do not
have significant cash balances denominated in foreign currencies. As a result,
we do not believe that we have significant market risks associated with foreign
currencies or related to sales and collections.



YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE


     Some computers, software, and other equipment include computer code in
which calendar year data is abbreviated to only two digits. As a result of this
design decision, some of these systems could fail to operate or fail to produce
correct results if "00" is interpreted to mean 1900, rather than 2000. These
problems are widely expected to increase in frequency and severity as the year
2000 approaches, and are commonly referred to as the "year 2000 problem."

     Assessment. The year 2000 problem affects the computers, software and other
equipment that we use, operate or maintain for our operations. Accordingly, we
have organized a project team responsible for monitoring the assessment and
remediation status of our year 2000 projects. This project team is currently
assessing the potential effects and costs of remediating the year 2000 problem
for our internal systems. To date, we have not obtained verification or
validation from any independent third parties of our processes to assess and
correct any of our year 2000 problems or the costs associated with these
activities.

     Internal infrastructure. We believe that we have identified
mission-critical computers, servers and applications, and our business systems
and related equipment used in connection with our internal operations that will
need to be evaluated to determine if they must be modified, upgraded or replaced
to minimize the possibility of a material disruption to our business. Upon
completion of such evaluation, which we expect to occur by July 1999, we expect
to commence the process of modifying, upgrading and replacing major systems that
have been assessed as adversely affected, and expect to complete this process
before the occurrence of any material disruption of our business.


     Systems other than information technology systems. In addition to computers
and related systems, the operation of office and facilities equipment, such as
fax machines, telephone switches, security systems and other common devices may
be affected by the year 2000 problem. We are currently assessing the potential
effects and costs of remediating the year 2000 problem on our office equipment
and our facilities and expect this process to be completed by the end of the
calendar year 1999.


     Products. We have tested and intend to continue to test all of our products
for year 2000 problems. To date, we have been able to correct any problems with
our products relating to the year 2000 problem. We currently do not expect any
significant year 2000 problems to arise with our products. We have generally
represented to our indirect channel partners and end users that our products are
year 2000 compliant, and if that turns out to be untrue, these parties may make
claims against us which may result in litigation or contract terminations.

     We estimate the total cost to us of completing any required modifications,
upgrades or replacements of our internal systems will not exceed $100,000,
almost all of which we believe will be incurred in 1999. Based on the activities
described above, we do not believe that the year 2000 problem will have a
material adverse effect on our business or operating results. In addition, we
have not deferred any material information technology projects as a result of
our year 2000 problem activities.

                                       28
<PAGE>   33

     Suppliers. We are in the process of assessing the readiness of our
sole-sourced component suppliers. We expect that we will be able to resolve any
significant year 2000 problems with sole-sourced component suppliers; however,
we cannot assure you that these suppliers will resolve any or all year 2000
problems before the occurrence of a material disruption to the operation of our
business. Any failure of these third parties to timely resolve year 2000
problems with their systems could harm our business.

     Most likely consequences of year 2000 problems. We expect to identify and
resolve all year 2000 problems that could adversely affect our business
operations. However, we believe that it is not possible to determine with
complete certainty that all year 2000 problems affecting us have been identified
or corrected. The number of devices that could be affected and the interactions
among these devices are simply too numerous. In addition, no one can accurately
predict how many year 2000 problem-related failures will occur or the severity,
duration or financial consequences of these perhaps inevitable failures. As a
result, we believe that the following consequences are possible:

     - a significant number of operational inconveniences and inefficiencies for
       us, our contract manufacturers and our indirect channel partners and end
       users that will divert management's time and attention and financial and
       human resources from ordinary business activities;

     - business disputes and claims for pricing adjustments or penalties due to
       year 2000 problems by our indirect channel partners and end users; and

     - a number of serious business disputes alleging that we failed to comply
       with the terms of contracts or industry standards of performance, some of
       which could result in litigation or contract termination.

     Contingency plans. We are currently developing contingency plans to be
implemented if our efforts to identify and correct year 2000 problems affecting
our internal systems are not effective. We expect to complete our contingency
plans by the end of September 1999. Depending on the systems affected, these
plans could include:

     - accelerated replacement of affected equipment or software;

     - short to medium-term use of backup equipment and software;

     - increased work hours for our personnel; and

     - use of contract personnel to correct on an accelerated schedule any year
       2000 problems that arise or to provide manual workarounds for information
       systems.

     Our implementation of any of these contingency plans could harm our
business.


     The discussion of our efforts and expectations relating to year 2000
compliance are forward-looking statements. Our ability to achieve year 2000
compliance and the level of incremental costs associated with compliance could
be adversely affected by, among other things, availability and cost of
programming and testing resources, third-party suppliers' ability to modify
proprietary software, and unanticipated problems identified in the ongoing
compliance review.


     Disclaimer. The discussion of our efforts and expectations relating to year

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD


     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards,
or SFAS, No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This statement requires companies to record derivatives on the
balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses
resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for
depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge
accounting. We will adopt SFAS No. 133 for 2000. We believe that this statement
will not have a significant impact on our business.

                                    BUSINESS

OVERVIEW


     Packeteer is a leading provider of network software products that enhance
mission-critical application performance over enterprise WANs and the Internet.
These application-adaptive bandwidth management solutions give businesses and
service providers per-application control of bandwidth at congested WAN access
links. Our products manage these bottlenecks, allowing network managers to
control bandwidth allocation for each application and enabling them to protect
the performance of their most critical applications.



     We deliver comprehensive application-adaptive bandwidth management by
discovering and classifying network traffic, analyzing application and network
performance, controlling traffic flows and then reporting on performance. These
four steps are accomplished through our PacketWise software which is embedded in
our PacketShaper family of products and in the networking products of our
technology partners. Our PacketShaper product family consists of hardware
platforms based on Intel compatible microprocessor technologies. Installing
PacketShaper imposes no changes to the existing network's equipment,
configuration or software.



     We have shipped over 2,800 PacketShapers and have established a network of
over 100 VARs, distributors and systems integrators that sell our solutions in
over 50 countries. In addition, we have business partners who license our
PacketWise software for integration into their networking products and other
partners, such as Lucent Technologies, who resell our products under their
private labels.


INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

The Emergence of Internet Computing


     Today, both the Internet and its underlying protocol infrastructure,
TCP/IP, have grown to positions of prominence in enterprise networking. From its
origins as a network connecting academic and government institutions, the
Internet has evolved into an interactive communications and commerce platform
supporting businesses' daily operations. Originally intended to accommodate non-
interactive traffic such as file transfers and e-mail, the Internet and TCP/IP
were designed with the basic goals of connectivity, versatility and bandwidth
exploitation. With the evolution towards Internet computing, TCP/IP has become
the communications fabric of mission-critical enterprise networks. The Internet
has enabled a new generation of interactive applications to deliver core
business functions, including e-commerce, data access and information exchange,
to a broad range of users. Leveraging the fundamental attributes of the Internet
and TCP/IP, businesses, consumers and suppliers have become better connected.
This rapid development of a vast connected economy has given rise to a new
innovative business model, the Internet computing model.



     The rapid emergence of Internet computing has had a significant effect on
today's enterprise networks and has created new challenges for information
technology managers. As more interactive business applications are developed
using web-enabled versions of enterprise software platforms, such as SAP/R3,
Oracle, PeopleSoft and Baan, the amount of network data is increasing
dramatically. E-commerce extends the confines of the enterprise network across
the Internet, making application performance difficult to ensure. Enterprise
users access graphics-intensive web sites, download large files, view streaming
media presentations, monitor news and stock quotes and access other non-critical
information over the Internet. The resulting traffic deluge impacts network
resources that serve point-of-sale, order processing, enterprise resource
planning, supply-chain management and other vital business functions.


                                       31
<PAGE>   36


     Internet computing relies on TCP/IP as the underlying protocol to support
distributed enterprise applications and the delivery of electronic services. The
Internet Protocol, or IP, provides for routing of packets across TCP/IP
networks. The Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP, provides flow control for,
and reliable ordered delivery of, Internet Protocol packets. Unlike early
non-interactive applications that did not require real-time responsiveness,
today's enterprise and e-commerce applications depend on timely access to data
and real-time transaction responses to ensure productivity and a high quality of
experience for end users. The shift toward real-time, delay-sensitive data is
accelerating as corporations begin to converge database transactions and
multimedia traffic onto their enterprise networks. TCP/IP is unable to
differentiate between traffic types and is designed so that each transmission
attempts to consume all available bandwidth. These characteristics, which make
TCP/IP suitable for non-interactive traffic, threaten the performance of today's
mission-critical applications.


The Traffic Bottleneck at the WAN Access Link


     In recent years, the adoption of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
technologies has reduced network congestion on the LAN. Simultaneously, the
deployment of fiber infrastructure in the service provider backbone has also
reduced bandwidth contention in that portion of the network. However, the bridge
between the two, the WAN access link, has remained the slow, weak link in the
chain, forming a bandwidth bottleneck. WAN access link capacity is often
constrained, expensive and difficult to upgrade. When faced with bandwidth
contention at the bottleneck, TCP/IP provides neither a means to give
preferential treatment to select applications nor a good mechanism to
effectively control data flows because TCP flow control is handled only by end
systems. TCP/IP reacts to network congestion by discarding data packets and
sporadically reducing packet transmissions from the host computer. In enterprise
networks that are overwhelmed by increasing amounts of both non-critical and
mission-critical traffic, unmanaged congestion at the WAN access link undermines
application performance and can result in impaired productivity and lost
revenues.

                                      LOGO

     Today's enterprise networks require solutions that ensure mission-critical
application performance, increase network efficiency, and enable the convergence
of data, voice and video traffic. Enterprises are seeking to align their
networks with their business priorities by making them adaptive to the unique
requirements of the growing mix of mission-critical applications. At the same
time, they seek to leverage investments in application software and proactively
control recurring network costs by optimizing bandwidth utilization.

                                       32
<PAGE>   37

     Many existing and newly emerging telecommunications service providers are
also seeking to address the needs of enterprises that are adopting Internet
computing. Service providers have traditionally functioned as WAN bandwidth
suppliers, leasing data lines and selling Internet access to businesses and
consumers. In the face of heightened competition, service providers are seeking
to differentiate themselves by offering tiered services in order to attract and
retain customers and increase profitability. These offerings include web
hosting, application outsourcing and managed network services. To deliver these
services, service providers must be able to ensure network and application
performance and better manage and allocate network resources.

Limitations of Existing Approaches

     Businesses and service providers currently employ several approaches in an
attempt to alleviate network congestion at the WAN access link. These approaches
include the following:

     Adding bandwidth and infrastructure to over-provision the network. This
approach requires expensive upgrades to WAN access links and associated network
equipment. Moreover, incremental increases in bandwidth only temporarily
alleviate network congestion, leaving the following problems unresolved:

     - Over-provisioning results in under-utilization of the network during
       non-peak periods;

     - Increases in bandwidth tend to be consumed quickly by latent demand
       within LAN and backbone infrastructure;

     - Deployment costs and increases in recurring service charges can be
       prohibitively expensive, especially for networks with many remote sites
       and for international networks; and

     - There is no application performance visibility to enable effective
       capacity planning.


     Implementing queuing-based features. Queuing technologies provide some
degree of prioritization and are frequently incorporated in routers. These
implementations engage only after queues form, and attempt to provide quality of
service, or QoS, by reordering packets and then discarding packets when the
queues overflow. Router-based approaches typically identify and prioritize
traffic based on rudimentary characteristics such as port number, a simplistic
mechanism to coordinate the transmission of application data, IP address or
protocol type. While these approaches can alleviate some of the bandwidth
contention problems, they are inadequate to handle an increasingly complex mix
of interactive and real-time mission-critical applications. These limitations
include:


     - Queuing-based approaches are reactive in nature and can only address
       congestion after the fact, rather than preventing it from occurring;

     - Congested queues result in packet loss, retransmissions and delays that
       waste bandwidth and undermine application response times;


     - Limited traffic classification capabilities inadequately distinguish
       between different types of applications, resulting in sub-optimal
       prioritization of traffic;


     - Queuing does not directly control end-to-end application performance; and

     - Queuing-based approaches do not control inbound traffic flowing from the
       WAN to the LAN.

     Installing network-management tools. Several vendors provide software that
analyzes and monitors network traffic. While these products enable network
administrators to determine how

                                       33
<PAGE>   38

bandwidth is being utilized, thereby identifying where bandwidth management is
required, they do not comprise a complete solution for the following reasons:

     - These products only monitor and report application performance and
       bandwidth utilization, offering no means of fixing or resolving
       performance problems; and

     - Products that detect problems once they occur are reactive and don't
       proactively prevent similar problems in the future.

The Bandwidth Management Opportunity

     As Internet computing is more widely adopted, both businesses and service
providers are seeking ways to cost-effectively manage bandwidth, ensure
application performance and increase network efficiency. As mission-critical
applications compete with bandwidth-hungry non-critical traffic for limited
network resources, enterprises require a solution that not only monitors and
reports on application performance problems, but also provides the means to fix
such problems. As the complexity of their network infrastructures increases,
enterprises seek solutions that integrate easily into the existing network and
are cost-effective to deploy and maintain. In response to growing competition,
service providers are looking to create new revenue streams by offering
differentiated network and application-based services that meet the needs of
enterprise customers. Whether the solution is implemented by the enterprise or
purchased from a service provider, effectively managing the performance of
mission-critical applications is essential to businesses relying on Internet
computing.

THE PACKETEER SOLUTION

     Packeteer provides application-adaptive bandwidth management solutions that
enhance the performance of mission-critical applications over enterprise WANs
and the Internet. Addressing the needs of both enterprises and service
providers, our products incorporate innovative technology for discovery,
classification, analysis, control and management of disparate traffic flows on
congestion-prone WAN access links.


     PacketWise software is at the core of our bandwidth management solutions
and is embedded in Packeteer-manufactured products and OEM-manufactured
products. Our PacketShaper family of products consists of hardware platforms
based on Intel compatible microprocessor technologies that run various
configurations of our PacketWise software. Our PacketShaper products provide
customers with a solution designed to be deployed easily and cost-effectively
without additional investment in or impact to network equipment, software or
infrastructure. In addition, by working with OEM partners to embed PacketWise
technology into their networking products, we are able to address new market
opportunities that are outside of the scope of our PacketShaper family of
products.


     As the enterprise network increasingly extends to include the Internet,
network managers are challenged with managing the dynamic growth in critical and
non-critical traffic. Each particular application and type of traffic -- such as
transactions, file transfers, voice or streaming multimedia -- requires a
tailored management strategy to ensure optimal performance. Our solutions are
based on a comprehensive four-step methodology that provides the elements for
effective bandwidth management:

     I.   Discover and Classify Traffic. Currently, PacketShaper automatically
          detects and identifies over 150 types of traffic. Network managers can
          refine traffic categories based on application, protocol, web page,
          addresses, users and host names. In addition, managers can define
          criteria to recognize proprietary applications so that PacketShaper
          automatically classifies the associated traffic. Sophisticated traffic
          classification enables network managers to understand network
          congestion and to precisely target bandwidth-allocation policies.

                                       34
<PAGE>   39

     II.  Analyze Performance. PacketShaper provides detailed analysis and
          evaluation of network resources and application performance.
          PacketShaper tracks traffic levels and trends, measures response times
          and calculates network efficiency. Network managers can analyze all
          traffic traversing a particular WAN access link or can focus on an
          individual application, client, server or traffic type.

     III. Control Traffic. PacketShaper allows network managers to control
          application performance and network resources by defining precise
          bandwidth-allocation policies. Policies can protect important traffic,
          cap bandwidth-intensive traffic and guarantee service levels. Network
          managers can tailor management strategies and bandwidth allocation to
          suit the requirements of particular applications or traffic, such as
          voice, video or data. PacketShaper paces both inbound and outbound
          traffic over the WAN access link to optimize performance and control
          end-to-end QoS. Our control technology can also prohibit specific
          applications, such as web-based entertainment or leisure applications,
          from utilizing any enterprise resources.

     IV. Report Performance. PacketShaper provides reports describing current
         and historical network performance. Comprehensive reports, graphs and
         tables enable network managers to refine bandwidth management policies,
         evaluate efficiency and plan capacity. PacketShaper automatically
         measures per-transaction response times for each application. Managers
         can set, enforce and monitor service-level agreements, which quantify
         desired QoS for a particular application or customer.

     Our dynamic four-step approach to application-adaptive bandwidth management
enables businesses and service providers to realize the following key benefits:

     - Gain Network Performance Visibility and Insight. PacketShaper provides
       valuable historical and real-time information about application
       performance and network utilization through an easy-to-use browser
       interface. Network managers gain a better understanding of the nature of
       traffic running on their networks and the problems and inefficiencies
       associated with that traffic.

     - Ensure Bandwidth to Mission-Critical Applications. Policy-based bandwidth
       allocation protects bandwidth for mission-critical applications such as
       SAP/R3, Oracle and Baan, preventing disruptions from bandwidth-hungry but
       less urgent applications such as file transfers or casual web browsing.


     - Simplify Deployment. PacketShaper installs easily and automatically
       starts to discover, classify and analyze network traffic and suggests
       policies to optimize performance. It complements the existing network
       infrastructure, requires no router reconfiguration or desktop changes and
       is designed not to disrupt network connectivity in the event of software
       or hardware failure.



     - Enable Interactive Services. VoIP, real-time video and other streaming
       media require guaranteed bandwidth in order to achieve minimum quality
       requirements. By using PacketShaper to set minimum bandwidth guarantees
       and explicit delay bounds, network managers and service providers can
       deliver smooth and predictable performance of these delay-sensitive
       multimedia services.


     - Increase Network Efficiency. PacketShaper improves network efficiency and
       helps delay expensive capacity upgrades by managing non-critical traffic
       to reduce retransmission overhead and smooth the variability in bandwidth
       utilization.


     - Facilitate E-Commerce. PacketShaper can reserve bandwidth for individual
       web site customers on a shared WAN connection. PacketShaper can also
       optimize response time for certain web pages, such as product order and
       home pages, and redirect users with slower connections to less
       data-intensive web pages.

STRATEGY

     Our objective is to be the leading provider of application-adaptive
bandwidth management solutions. Key elements of our strategy include:


     Focus on Bandwidth Management Needs of Enterprises. We are focused on
providing high performance, easy-to-use and cost-effective bandwidth management
solutions to enterprises whose businesses are based on Internet computing. For
these businesses, managing mission-critical application performance and
optimizing the value of the network will continue to be competitive
requirements. As the Internet proliferates and new Internet-based applications
and services emerge, we believe businesses will continue to adopt Internet
computing business models at a rapid rate and that effective bandwidth
management will become an increasingly important requirement for maintaining an
efficient enterprise network. We believe we have established a differentiated
market position based on our comprehensive solution that provides for effective
bandwidth management, early market leadership and brand awareness. We intend to
continue to direct our development, sales and marketing efforts toward
addressing the bandwidth management needs of the Internet computing market.



     Expand Presence in Telecommunications Service Provider Market. We are
actively pursuing opportunities in the service provider market and currently
have numerous service provider customers, including: BIGLOBE, a wholly owned
subsidiary of NEC Corporation; CLEAR Communications Ltd.; NTT Corporation;
SONERA Technologies; Telefonica de Espana; and Verio Inc. We believe service
providers are under increasing pressure to attract new subscribers, reduce
subscriber turnover, improve operating margins and develop new revenue streams.
Specifically, service providers seek to differentiate themselves through
value-added service offerings, such as web hosting, application outsourcing and
application service-level management. We believe our PacketShaper and PacketWise
solutions enable service providers to deliver these higher value services by
enhancing network and application performance and better managing and allocating
network resources. We intend to increase demand for our solutions with service
providers by leveraging our strong enterprise presence.



     Continue to Build Indirect Distribution Channels. We believe we have built
a significant worldwide distribution channel. We currently have over 100 VARs,
distributors, systems integrators and OEMs, that sell our products in over 50
countries. These relationships include: Syncordia Solutions, a division of
British Telecommunications PLC; Datacraft Asia Ltd.; Fujitsu Limited; Macnica;
Nissho Electronics Corporation; Persetel, a subsidiary of Comparex Holdings;
Unisys Corp.; and Williams Communications Group Inc. Recently, we entered into
an agreement with Alcatel Business Systems to distribute our products globally.
We intend to continue to develop and support new VAR and distribution
relationships, as well as to establish additional indirect channels with service
providers, systems integrators and OEMs. We believe this strategy will enable us
to increase the worldwide deployment of our products.



     Develop OEM Relationships to Broaden PacketWise Deployment. We have
designed our PacketWise software in distinct modules to integrate with network
hardware platforms offered by other vendors. This integration brings Packeteer's
unique capabilities into markets where QoS is required but is beyond the scope
of the PacketShaper offering. We currently have two software OEM relationships.
ADC Telecommunications has licensed portions of our PacketWise software to
incorporate in its networking products. Adtran has licensed PacketWise
technology to enable classification and partitioning in managed network services
products. In addition, Lucent Technologies, Memorex Telex and NEC have licensed
PacketShaper with PacketWise software to sell under their own labels. These
private label relationships allow us to approach consumers with solutions that
we would have difficulty providing alone. With Memorex Telex and NEC we have
partners in Asia that provide local account management. Lucent Technologies
provides us a worldwide partnership with a leader in the convergence of data and
voice. We intend to pursue


                                       36
<PAGE>   41

additional OEM relationships in order to drive the proliferation of our
technology in enterprise and service provider networks.


     Extend Bandwidth Management Technology Leadership. Our technological
leadership is based on our sophisticated traffic classification, flexible
policy-setting capabilities, precise rate control expertise and ability to
measure response time and network performance. We intend to invest our research
and development resources to increase the performance, functionality and
modularity of our existing bandwidth management solutions and to develop new
leading-edge technologies for emerging markets. This includes extending our
bandwidth management solutions to incorporate in-depth application-management
techniques that will improve performance over the Internet and reduce bandwidth
requirements. We plan to extend our current portfolio by offering
PacketWise-defined solutions that target the specific needs of three primary
market opportunities: application service-level management, enterprise bandwidth
management and service provider bandwidth management.


PRODUCTS


     We provide application-adaptive bandwidth management solutions to address
the needs of both businesses and service providers. Our products incorporate
innovative technology for discovery, classification, analysis, control and
management of disparate traffic flows in congestion-prone TCP/IP WAN access
links. Our PacketWise software is at the core of our bandwidth management
solutions and is embedded in our PacketShaper family of products. PacketShaper
products consist of Intel compatible microprocessor technology running various
configurations of PacketWise. We also license our PacketWise software to OEM
partners for incorporation in their networking products.


     PacketShaper is available in three models to fit a broad range of network

     PacketShapers are designed to be deployed easily and cost-effectively in an
existing network configuration. PacketShaper does not require any new protocols,
standards, router reconfiguration or desktop changes. Additionally, each
PacketShaper features a passive connector that maintains network connectivity if
a PacketShaper is turned off or shuts down due to a hardware or software
failure. PacketShapers are typically deployed between the LAN and the WAN access
router in order to manage bandwidth at the WAN access link where traffic needs
to be controlled to avoid a bottleneck. The diagram below depicts examples of
how PacketShapers are deployed on customer networks.

TECHNOLOGY


     We differentiate our solution by combining our knowledge of enterprise
applications with our expertise in underlying network protocols. We have
invested heavily in developing valuable, proprietary software and related
technologies. In particular, we have developed expertise and technology in these
major areas: sophisticated traffic discovery and classification, flexible policy
definition and enforcement, precise rate control, application-based
response-time measurement, high-performance packet engines and scaleable
configuration. We have tied together these technologies with an easy-to-use, web
browser interface in order to insulate the end user from the sophistication of
the underlying technology and to allow them to derive the benefits of the
technology with minimal effort.


Sophisticated Traffic Discovery and Classification


     The ability to automatically detect and classify an extensive collection of
applications and protocols differentiates PacketShaper from other bandwidth
management technologies. Sophisticated traffic classification is crucial to
understand network congestion and to target appropriate bandwidth-allocation
policies. Network software or devices that claim QoS features typically offer
rudimentary solutions because they can identify traffic based only on protocol
type or port numbers. This approach limits application-specific QoS capabilities
because these products do not recognize the detailed information required to
make intelligent classification decisions. PacketShaper discovers and classifies
traffic by focusing on content and applications where value to the end user
lies.



     Relying only on low-level protocols to classify traffic prevents network
managers from discovering important traffic trends and limits policy-setting.
Sophisticated traffic types such as VoIP, Oracle 8, TN3270, Citrix, and
Microsoft DCOM cannot be identified using rudimentary traffic classification
schemes. PacketShaper identifies traffic markers, detects dynamic port
assignments and tracks transactions with migrating port assignments. This
sophisticated traffic classification allows network managers to set policies and
control the traffic related to an individual application, session, client,
server or traffic type. PacketShaper permits a network manager to isolate each
published application running within a Citrix-based environment and can also
differentiate among various applications using the same port. For example, web
browsing, traffic from mission-critical web sites, PointCast and PeopleSoft e7.5
are all assigned to the same TCP port number but can be individually classified
using PacketShaper.


                                       39
<PAGE>   44


     PacketShaper needs no assistance from network managers to automatically
detect and identify over 150 traffic types. Without a sophisticated
identification and classification capability, managers are usually unaware of
the diversity of their own network traffic. In addition, managers can define
proprietary applications so that their traffic can be recognized and reported.
Our PacketShaper technology is differentiated by its ability to recognize legacy
enterprise protocols, such as AppleTalk, DECnet, IPX and SNA. We continuously
enhance PacketShaper's classification capability to include new traffic types.
Any traffic category can be made even more specific by adding more detailed
criteria -- for example, Oracle traffic to or from a particular database. The
PacketShaper automatically classifies over 150 different traffic types, some of
which are listed below. The traffic types are named either with their associated
protocol or application and are grouped according to the class of application
which generated that traffic.

Flexible Policy Definition and Enforcement


     PacketShaper provides network managers flexible tools to tailor solutions
for different applications or traffic types. Unlike queuing-based approaches,
PacketShaper allows network managers to do more than just prioritize one traffic
type over another. Our policy features offer the flexibility required to tune
bandwidth to specific applications and dynamically utilize available bandwidth.
Our policy features may be used individually or in conjunction with each other.
PacketShaper policy features include:



     - Per-session rate policies. These policies enable network managers to
       limit or guarantee bandwidth to each individual session of an
       application's traffic. Per-session policies allocate each session an
       appropriate amount of bandwidth and prevent one large session from
       inappropriately impacting others. Network managers specify a
       minimum-guaranteed rate and allow the session scaled access to additional
       available bandwidth. For example, a bandwidth cap for traffic prevents
       web browsers from competing for bandwidth required by mission-critical
       applications. Likewise, a guaranteed rate for audio or video streams
       ensures that they are not interrupted by traffic that tends to consume
       any available bandwidth.


     - Partitions. Partitions allow the creation of a separate, exclusive
       channel within a WAN access link. Partitions represent aggregate
       bandwidth minimums or maximums governing how much of the network can be
       used by a single application or traffic category. Partitions can be
       fixed, creating dedicated virtual circuits, or burstable, creating
       virtual circuits whose unused bandwidth can be shared.

     - Priority policies. Priorities may be assigned to each application or
       traffic category. Eight priority levels are available. Priority policies
       are ideal for traffic that does not burst, non-IP traffic and traffic
       characterized by small, high-priority flows.

     - Admission-control policies. Admission control determines the response if
       a bandwidth guarantee cannot be satisfied. Network managers may choose to
       deny access, accommodate an additional user with less than guaranteed
       performance, or, for web requests, redirect the request to another
       server. For example, if an online streaming-video service suffers a high-
       demand period and all available bandwidth is consumed, an
       admission-control policy could present a web page explaining that
       resources are busy. This allows a maximum number of users to receive a
       targeted service quality without degradation as new users seek to access
       the service.

     - Discard and never-admit policies. These policies intentionally block
       traffic. Discard policies toss packets without sending feedback to the
       sender. Never-admit policies are similar to discard policies except that
       the policy informs the sender that service is blocked.

Precise Rate Control


     One of TCP/IP's primary weaknesses is an inability to guarantee QoS. Unlike
systems network architecture, or SNA, and asynchronous transfer mode, or ATM,
protocols, which have an embedded concept of rate, TCP/IP's attempts to consume
all available bandwidth conflict with the goal of predictable, consistent,
mission-critical application performance. PacketShaper's standards-based TCP
rate control technology overcomes TCP/IP's shortcomings by proactively
preventing congestion on both inbound and outbound flows and increasing overall
network throughput. Rather than discarding packets from a congested queue, TCP
rate control paces packet delivery to prevent congestion. Rate control uses the
remote user's access speed and real-time network latency to calculate the
optimal transmission speed. Evenly paced packet transmissions, instead of packet
bursts which consume all available bandwidth, yield significant efficiency gains
in the network. TCP rate control is a proactive and precise way to increase
network efficiency by avoiding retransmissions and packet loss and creates


                                       41
<PAGE>   46

a smooth, even flow rate that maximizes throughput. By employing TCP rate
control, PacketShaper manages the majority of traffic at the access link before
network congestion occurs.


     For non-TCP based traffic, such as UDP, alternative rate-based management
techniques must be implemented. Typically UDP does not rely on acknowledgments
to signal successful receipt of data, and it therefore offers no means for flow
control. By directly controlling other TCP flows, however, PacketShaper
effectively makes bandwidth available for UDP flows. The combination of per flow
rate scheduling and explicit delay bounds removes latency and variability, or
jitter, for the UDP flows traversing the WAN access link.



     For example, VoIP is a UDP-based application that is particularly
latency-sensitive, requiring packets to be evenly spaced to eliminate jitter.
PacketShaper enhances VoIP performance in two ways. First, PacketShaper manages
competing traffic by using rate control to constrain bursty TCP traffic. In
addition, a rate policy for VoIP gives a minimum bandwidth guarantee to each
flow, ensuring that each voice stream gets the bandwidth it needs for
predictable performance. When there is a lull in the conversation, any unused
bandwidth is re-allocated to other traffic.


Application-Based Response-Time Measurement


     PacketShaper's position in the enterprise network -- monitoring and
controlling all the traffic that passes -- gives it an opportunity to provide
accurate response-time measurements. Because it already handles and classifies
every packet, PacketShaper can easily calculate the time traffic spends
traveling between a client and a server and the time used by the server itself.


     PacketShaper breaks each response-time measurement into network delay, the
time spent in transit, and server delay, the time the server used to process the
request. It can highlight clients and servers with the slowest performance.
PacketShaper allows network managers to set acceptability standards and then
track whether performance adheres to the standards.

High-Performance Packet Engines

     Sophisticated classification and control of high-speed traffic must be
accomplished in an efficient manner. Adding significant delay in the process of
managing traffic flows would negate the resulting performance improvements.
Packeteer has developed expertise in the development of high-speed,
software-based packet engines running on real-time operating systems that can
efficiently process thousands of simultaneous high-speed connections with
minimal delay. This core-engine software technology scales to take advantage of
ever-increasing microprocessor performance to manage faster access links.

Scaleable Configuration


     Large deployments require tools to ease the process of updating tens or
hundreds of PacketShapers that are distributed throughout network. To address
these requirements, PacketShaper offers its own features, aligns with industry
standards and integrates with third-party tools.



     PacketShaper's Group Configuration Service is a web-based tool that network
managers use to configure and deploy large PacketShaper installations. An
integrated LDAP directory client further enables centralized management by
allowing central storage and access of important management data such as host
lists. PacketShaper is accessible from within HP OpenView and we are working
with Hewlett-Packard Company to make PacketShapers configurable from
Hewlett-Packard's Policy Based Network Management console.

     In 1998, sales to Macnica accounted for 11.9% of total net revenues. For
the six months ended June 30, 1999, sales to ADC Telecommunications accounted
for 10.6% of total net revenues and sales to Macnica accounted for 10.5% of
total net revenues. In 1998, sales to the top 10 indirect channel partners
accounted for 45.0% of total net revenues and for the six months ended June 30
1999, sales to the top 10 indirect channel partners accounted for 46.2% of total
net revenues.



     In 1998, sales to customers outside of North America constituted 54.7% of
total net revenues and in the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenues
attributable to sales to customers outside of North America constituted 55.0% of
total net revenues.



     The following representative case studies of three of our current customers
illustrate how some of our customers have deployed our products:


     Autodesk. Autodesk is a leading supplier of PC design software and
multimedia tools used for a wide range of design, engineering, mapping and
design-visualization purposes. Autodesk sought to reduce spending on expensive
international WAN connections to its worldwide offices, as well as to ensure
predictable performance for mission-critical applications such as SAP, Citrix
WinFrame and Microsoft Outlook. Before installing PacketShaper, Autodesk
required two permanent virtual circuits, or PVCs, for each of its hub locations:
one for mission-critical applications and another for secondary

                                       43
<PAGE>   48

traffic such as file transfers. Using PacketShaper, Autodesk was able to
consolidate its network traffic, simplify its network management, reduce its PVC
requirements by half, and realize cost savings and efficiency by not maintaining
additional network infrastructure.

     Domino's Pizza. Domino's Pizza is a leader in pizza delivery. When Domino's
purchased a new order-processing application from PeopleSoft, it sought to
ensure that appropriate bandwidth would be available on its corporate network
while preserving performance for other important traffic such as IPX, which is
used for access to network directory services. Using PacketShaper, Domino's was
able to identify the different types of traffic on its network, including
traffic types it had not previously known were consuming bandwidth. Network
managers defined bandwidth-allocation policies to enable PeopleSoft performance,
protect other mission-critical applications, and reduce bandwidth for non-
urgent traffic during times of contention.


     Hoechst Marion Roussel. Hoechst Marion Roussel, or HMR, is a leading
pharmaceutical company with operations worldwide. When HMR began deploying SAP
R/3 in its Latin American operations to support mission-critical financial
management, manufacturing and sales functions, they found SAP R/3 competed for
network bandwidth with Microsoft Exchange. Adding more bandwidth was not an
effective solution because TCP/IP applications, such as Microsoft Exchange,
attempt to consume all of the available bandwidth on a network, leaving other
applications with inadequate bandwidth to perform properly. WAN bandwidth is
also very expensive in Latin America. Packeteer's TCP rate control technology
enabled HMR to manage their Microsoft Exchange traffic by setting appropriate
bandwidth policies for several applications and enabling SAP R/3 to perform even
during heavy network congestion. The easily deployable nature and remote
management capabilities of Packeteer's solution enabled HMR to deploy
PacketShapers in multiple sites where technical resources were scarce.


MANUFACTURING


     We outsource our manufacturing, including warranty repair, to two contract
manufacturers. PEMSTAR, located in San Jose, California, manufactures our
PacketShaper 1000 and 2000, and Sanmina, located in San Jose, California,
manufactures our PacketShaper 4000. The manufacturing processes and procedures
for both of these manufacturers are ISO 9002 certified. Outsourcing our
manufacturing enables us to reduce fixed costs and to provide flexibility in
meeting market demand.


     We design and develop the key components of our products, including printed
circuit boards and software. In addition, we determine the components that are
incorporated in our products and select the appropriate suppliers of these
components. Product testing and burn-in is performed by our contract
manufacturers using tests and automated testing equipment that we specify. We
also use inspection testing and statistical process controls to assure the
quality and reliability of our products.


     We use a rolling seven-month forecast based on anticipated product orders
to determine our material requirements. Lead times for the materials and
components we order vary significantly and depend on factors such as specific
supplier, contract terms and demand for a component at a given time. We submit
purchase orders for quantities requested within 90 days. PEMSTAR, Sanmina or
Packeteer may terminate the contract without cause at any time. At that time the
terminating party must honor all open purchase orders.


MARKETING AND SALES


     We target our marketing and sales efforts at enterprises and service
providers. Marketing and sales activities focus on reaching the corporate
application network managers responsible for the performance of mission-critical
applications in the enterprise. They also focus on reaching service


                                       44
<PAGE>   49


providers that provide valued-added service offerings, such as web hosting,
application outsourcing and application service-level management.


     Our marketing programs support the sale and distribution of our products
and educate existing and potential enterprise and service provider customers
about the benefits of our application-adaptive bandwidth management solutions.
Our marketing efforts include the following:

     - publication of technical and educational articles in industry magazines;

     - public speaking opportunities;

     - web site-based communication and promotion;

     - industry tradeshows, technical conferences and technology seminars; and

     - advertising, direct mail and public relations.

     We classify our distribution channels in the following three categories:

     - Solution Partners. We have established a network of over 100 VARs,
       distributors and systems integrators that sell our solutions in over 50
       countries. These solution partners sell PacketShapers and other products
       that are complementary to our application-adaptive bandwidth management
       solution.


     - Technology Partners. Technology partners are OEMs and companies with whom
       we have established joint development relationships. For example, we
       established a joint development relationship with Hewlett-Packard so that
       PacketShapers can be viewed and managed through OpenView.


     - Alliance Partners. We have developed a marketing alliance program to
       establish new marketing relationships, as well as enhance existing
       relationships, with hardware, software and systems vendors. We believe
       that we can build brand awareness by working with alliance partners to
       target the needs of specific customer environments. For example, we
       formed an alliance with Citrix to enhance the performance of individual
       applications within the Citrix MetaFrame and WinFrame environments and an
       alliance with Clarent Corporation to enhance the quality of their VoIP
       applications. We work with alliance partners on various joint marketing
       initiatives, including product literature, direct mailings and seminars.


     As of June 30, 1999, our worldwide sales and marketing organization
consisted of 51 individuals, including managers, sales representatives and
technical and administrative support personnel. We have ten domestic sales
offices located in Bedminster, New Jersey; Chicago, Illinois; Cupertino and San
Diego, California; Dallas and Houston, Texas; Fall River, Massachusetts;
Littleton, Colorado; Duluth, Georgia; and Tacoma, Washington. In addition, we
have four international sales offices located in Hong Kong; Sydney, Australia;
Tokyo, Japan; and Waddinxveen, The Netherlands.



     We believe there is a strong international market for our bandwidth
management solutions. Our international sales are conducted primarily through
our overseas offices. Sales to customers outside of North America accounted for
54.7% of our total net revenues in 1998 and 55.0% of our total net revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. In addition, sales to Asia Pacific accounted
for 31.0% of our total net revenues in 1998 and 28.7% of our total net revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT


     Our customer service and support organization provides both product
maintenance and technical support services. Our technical support staff is
strategically located in four regional service centers: California, Hong Kong,
Japan and The Netherlands. Our indirect channel partners offer similar support
services for all of our products they sell. These services are typically sold as
a one-year contract to our resellers and end users. These services are not
provided without a maintenance contract. Our two maintenance programs are
described as follows:



     Packeteer Partner ProSupport. This service is designed for our indirect
channel partners. Our partners purchase this program so that they can offer
support services to their customers. These services include:


     - an extended warranty period beyond the standard one-year warranty;


     - a software subscription service allowing access to all software upgrades
       and updates; and



     - current technical bulletins, advanced white papers and other technical
       support materials.


     Packeteer Premium ProSupport. This service is designed for end users who
receive support services directly from us and includes:

     - an extended warranty with advance replacement of defective units within
       two business days of notification;


     - a software subscription service allowing access to all software upgrades
       and updates;


     - unlimited telephone and e-mail support; and


     - current technical bulletins, advanced white papers and other technical
       support materials.


COMPETITION


     We compete in a new, rapidly evolving and highly competitive sector of the
bandwidth management solutions market. We expect competition to persist and
intensify in the future from a number of different sources. Increased
competition could result in reduced prices and gross margins for our products
and could require increased spending by us on research and development, any of
which could harm our business. We compete with Cisco and CheckPoint, which sell
products incorporating competing technologies. We also compete with several
small private companies which utilize competing technologies to provide
bandwidth management. In addition, our products and technology compete for
information technology budget allocations with products that offer monitoring
technologies, such as probes and related software. Lastly, we face indirect
competition from companies that offer enterprises and service providers
increased bandwidth and infrastructure upgrades that increase the capacity of
their networks, and thereby may lessen or delay the need for bandwidth
management.


     We believe the principal competitive factors in the bandwidth management
solutions market are:

     - expertise and in-depth knowledge of applications;

     - timeliness of new product introductions;

     - ability to integrate in the existing network architecture without
       requiring network reconfigurations or desktop changes;

     - ability to ensure end-user performance in addition to aggregate
       performance of the WAN access link;

     - compatibility with industry standards;

                                       47
<PAGE>   52

     - products that do not increase latency and packet loss;

     - size and scope of distribution network;

     - brand name; and

     - access to customers and size of installed customer base.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY


     We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trademark laws, and on
trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to
protect our proprietary rights. These measures afford only limited protection.
We currently have one issued U.S. patent and 10 pending patent applications,
including one for which we have received a notice of allowance. We cannot assure
you that our means of protecting our proprietary rights in the U.S. or abroad
will be adequate or that competitors will not independently develop similar
technologies. Our future success depends in part on our ability to protect our
proprietary rights to the technologies used in our principal products. Despite
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt
to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use trade secrets or other
information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign
countries do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the
U.S. We cannot assure you that any issued patent will preserve our proprietary
position, or that competitors or others will not develop technologies similar to
or superior to our technology. Our failure to enforce and protect our
intellectual property rights could harm our business, operating results and
financial condition.


     From time to time, third parties, including our competitors, have asserted
patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights to technologies that
are important to us. We expect that we will increasingly be subject to
infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in the
application-adaptive bandwidth management market grows and the functionality of
products overlaps. The results of any litigation matter are inherently
uncertain. In the event of an adverse result in any litigation with third
parties that could arise in the future, we could be required to pay substantial
damages, including treble damages if we are held to have willfully infringed, to
cease the manufacture, use and sale of infringing products, to expend
significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, or to obtain
licenses to the infringing technology. Licenses may not be available from any
third party that asserts intellectual property claims against us on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, litigation frequently involves
substantial expenditures and can require significant management attention, even
if we ultimately prevail.

EMPLOYEES


     As of June 30, 1999, Packeteer employed a total of 90 full-time employees.
Of the total number of employees, 26 were in research and development, 40 in
sales and customer service, 11 in marketing, three in operations and 10 in
administration. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining
agreement with respect to their employment by Packeteer.


FACILITIES


     We lease approximately 27,000 square feet of administrative and research
and development facilities in Cupertino, California. We believe our current
facilities will be sufficient to handle our operations for at least the next 12
months. We believe that future growth can be accommodated by obtaining the
necessary additional space. Packeteer leases sales offices in the following
locations: Duluth, Georgia; Bedminster, New Jersey; Dallas, Texas; Tacoma,
Washington; Sydney, Australia; Hong Kong; Tokyo, Japan; and Waddinxveen, The
Netherlands.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We have no material legal proceedings threatened or pending.

    and directors during the year ended December 31, 1998.

    value of the common stock on the date of grant as determined by the board of
    directors after consideration of a

    number of factors, including, but not limited to, Packeteer's financial
    performance, market conditions, the price and preferred rights and
    privileges of shares of equity securities sold to or purchased by outside
    investors and third-party appraisals.
(3) The potential realizable value is calculated based on the term of the option
    at its time of grant, which is ten years. It is calculated assuming that the
    fair market value of Packeteer's common stock on the date of grant
    appreciates at the indicated annual rate compounded annually for the entire
    term of the option and that the option is exercised and sold on the last day
    of its term for the appreciated stock price.

(4) Mr. Klaus' 50,000-share option grant vests as follows: 50% vested on
    December 17, 1998, and the balance upon the earlier of the closing of at
    least two OEM agreements, as a result of Mr. Klaus' efforts or August 19,
    2005. The date of Mr. Klaus' 50,000-share option grant was August 19, 1998.
    The option has a maximum term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination in
    the event of his cessation of service to Packeteer.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     1999 Stock Incentive Plan. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to
serve as the successor program to our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan. The 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan was adopted by the board in May 1999, subject to stockholder
approval. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will become effective

                                       53
<PAGE>   58


when the underwriting agreement for this offering is signed. At that time, all
outstanding options under our existing 1996 Equity Incentive Plan will then be
transferred to the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, and no further option grants will
be made under the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan. The transferred options will
continue to be governed by their existing terms, unless our compensation
committee decides to extend one or more features of the 1999 Stock Incentive
Plan to those options. Except as described below, the transferred options have
substantially the same term as will be in effect for grants made under the
discretionary option grant program of our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan.



     Share Reserve. 3,839,917 shares of our common stock have been authorized
for issuance under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. This share reserve consists of
the number of shares we estimate will be carried over from the 1996 Equity
Incentive Plan plus an additional increase of 900,000 shares. The share reserve
under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will automatically increase on the first
trading day in January each year, beginning with calendar year 2000, by an
amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding
on the last trading day of December in the prior year, but in no event will this
annual increase exceed 3,000,000 shares. In addition, no participant in the 1999
Stock Incentive Plan may be granted stock options or direct stock issuances for
more than 1,000,000 shares of common stock in total in any calendar year.


     Programs. Our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan has three separate programs:

     - the discretionary option grant program, under which eligible individuals
       in our employ may be granted options to purchase shares of our common
       stock at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of those
       shares on the grant date;


     - the stock issuance program, under which eligible individuals may be
       issued shares of common stock directly, upon the attainment of
       performance milestones or upon the completion of a period of service or
       as a bonus for past services;



     - the automatic option grant program, under which option grants will
       automatically be made at periodic intervals to eligible non-employee
       board members to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price
       equal to the fair market value of those shares on the grant date;



     - the salary investment option grant program, which may, at the plan
       administrator's sole discretion, be activated for one or more calendar
       years and, if so activated, will allow executive officers and other key
       executives selected by the plan administrator the opportunity to apply a
       portion of their base salary each year to the acquisition of special
       below-market stock option grants; and



     - the director fee option grant program, which may, in the plan
       administrator's sole discretion, be activated for one or more calendar
       years and, if so activated, will allow non-employee board members the
       opportunity to apply all or a portion of the annual retainer fee
       otherwise payable to them in cash each year to the acquisition of special
       below-market option grants.


     Eligibility. The individuals eligible to participate in our 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan include our officers and other employees, our board members and
any consultants we hire.

     Administration. The discretionary option grant and stock issuance programs
will be administered by our compensation committee. This committee will
determine which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock
issuances under those programs, the time or times when the grants or issuances
are to be made, the number of shares subject to each grant or issuance, the
status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a
nonstatutory stock option under the federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to be
in effect for the option grant or stock issuance and the maximum term for which
any granted option is to remain outstanding. The compensation committee will
also have the authority to select the executive officers and other highly
compensated employees who may

                                       54
<PAGE>   59

participate in the salary investment option grant program in the event that
program is put into effect for one or more calendar years.

     Plan Features. Our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will include the following
features:

     - The exercise price for any options granted under the plan may be paid in
       cash or in shares of our common stock valued at fair market value on the
       exercise date. The option may also be exercised through a same-day sale
       program without any cash outlay by the optionee.

     - The compensation committee will have the authority to cancel outstanding
       options under the discretionary option grant program, including any
       transferred options from our 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, in return for
       the grant of new options for the same or for a different number of option
       shares with an exercise price per share based upon the fair market value
       of our common stock on the new grant date.

     - Stock appreciation rights may be issued under the discretionary option
       grant program. These rights will provide the holders with the election to
       surrender their outstanding options for a payment from us equal to the
       fair market value of the shares subject to the surrendered options less
       the exercise price payable for those shares. We may make the payment in
       cash or in shares of our common stock. None of the options under our 1996
       Equity Incentive Plan have any stock appreciation rights.

     Change in Control. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will include the following
change in control provisions which may result in the accelerated vesting of
outstanding option grants and stock issuances:

     In the event that we are acquired by merger or asset sale, each outstanding
option under the discretionary option grant program which is not to be assumed
by the successor corporation will immediately become exercisable for all the
option shares, and all outstanding unvested shares will immediately vest, except
to the extent our repurchase rights with respect to those shares are to be
assigned to the successor corporation.

     - The compensation committee will have complete discretion to grant one or
       more options which will become exercisable for all the option shares in
       the event those options are assumed in the acquisition but the optionee's
       service with us or the acquiring entity is subsequently terminated. The
       vesting of any outstanding shares under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan may
       be accelerated upon similar terms and conditions.

     - The compensation committee may grant options and structure repurchase
       rights so that the shares subject to those options or repurchase rights
       will immediately vest in connection with a successful tender offer for
       more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock or a change in the majority
       of our board through one or more contested elections. Such accelerated
       vesting may occur either at the time of such transaction or upon the
       subsequent termination of the individual's service.


     - Most of the options currently outstanding under our 1996 Equity Incentive
       Plan will immediately vest as if they had been held for two times the
       length of time they had actually been held in the event of a change of
       control. In the event we are acquired, all options which are not
       exercised will terminate unless the acquired company assumes the options.


     Automatic Option Grant Program. Each individual who is serving as a
non-employee board member when the underwriting agreement for this offering is
signed will automatically be granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of
common stock. Each individual who first becomes a non-employee board member at
any time after the effective date of this offering will receive an option grant
for

                                       55
<PAGE>   60

12,000 shares of common stock on the date such individual joins the board. In
addition, on the date of each annual stockholders meeting held after the
effective date of this offering, each non-employee board member who is to
continue to serve as a non-employee board member, including each of our current
non-employee board members, will automatically be granted an option to purchase
3,000 shares of common stock, provided such individual has served on the board
for at least six months.


     Each automatic grant will have an exercise price per share equal to the
fair market value per share of our common stock on the grant date and will have
a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination following the optionee's
cessation of board service. The option will be immediately exercisable for all
of the option shares; however, we may repurchase, at the exercise price paid per
share, any shares purchased under the option which are not vested at the time
the optionee no longer serves on the board. The shares subject to each
3,000-share automatic grant will be fully-vested when granted. The shares
subject to each initial 12,000-share automatic option grant will vest in a
series of six successive equal semi-annual installments upon the optionee's
completion of each six months of board service over the 36 month period measured
from the grant date. However, the shares will immediately vest in full upon
certain changes in control or ownership or upon the optionee's death or
disability while a board member.


     Additional Program Features. Our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan will also have
the following features:

     - Outstanding options under the salary investment and director fee option
       grant programs will immediately vest if we are acquired by a merger or
       asset sale or if there is a successful tender offer for more than 50% of
       our outstanding voting stock or a change in the majority of our board
       through one or more contested elections.

     - Limited stock appreciation rights will automatically be included as part
       of each grant made under the salary investment option grant program and
       the automatic and director fee option grant programs, and these rights
       may also be granted to one or more officers as part of their option
       grants under the discretionary option grant program. Options with this
       feature may be surrendered to us upon the successful completion of a
       hostile tender offer for more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock.
       In return for the surrendered option, the optionee will be entitled to a
       cash distribution from us in an amount per surrendered option share based
       upon the highest price per share of our common stock paid in that tender
       offer.

     - The board may amend or modify the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan at any time,
       subject to any required stockholder approval. The 1999 Stock Incentive
       Plan will terminate no later than May 18, 2009.

     1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Our 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
was adopted by the board in May 1999, subject to stockholder approval. The plan
will become effective immediately upon the signing of the underwriting agreement
for this offering. The plan is designed to allow our eligible employees and the
eligible employees of our participating subsidiaries to purchase shares of
common stock, at semi-annual intervals, with their accumulated payroll
deductions.

     Share Reserve. 500,000 shares of our common stock will initially be
reserved for issuance. The reserve will automatically increase on the first
trading day in January each year, beginning in calendar year 2000, by an amount
equal to 2% of the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock on the
last trading day in December in the prior year. In no event will any such annual
increase exceed 1,000,000 shares.

                                       56

     Offering Periods. The plan will have a series of successive offering
periods, each with a maximum duration of 24 months. However, the initial
offering period may have a maximum duration of up to 27 months. The initial
offering period will start on the date the underwriting agreement for the
offering covered is signed and will end on the last business day in July 2001.
The next offering period will start on the first business day in August 2001,
and subsequent offering periods will set by our compensation committee.


     Eligible Employees. Individuals scheduled to work more than 20 hours per
week for more than five calendar months per year may join an offering period on
the start date or any semi-annual entry date within that period. Semi-annual
entry dates will occur on the first business day of February and August each
year beginning on February 1, 2000. Individuals who become eligible employees
after the start date of an offering period may join the plan on any subsequent
semi-annual entry date within that offering period.



     Payroll Deductions. A participant may contribute up to 15%, or such lesser
amount as may be designated by the plan administrator prior to the beginning of
a six month purchase period of his or her total cash compensation through
payroll deductions, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the
purchase of shares on each semi-annual purchase date. The purchase price per
share will be equal to 85% of the fair market value per share on the
participant's entry date into the offering period or, if lower, 85% of the fair
market value per share on the semi-annual purchase date. Semi-annual purchase
dates will occur on the last business day of July and January each year except
the initial purchase date will occur on January 31, 2000. In no event, however,
may any participant purchase more than 1,000 shares on any purchase date, and
not more than 200,000 shares may be purchased in total by all participants on
any purchase date.


     Reset Feature. If the fair market value per share of our common stock on
any purchase date is less than the fair market value per share on the start date
of the two-year offering period, then that offering period will automatically
terminate, and a new two-year offering period will begin on the next business
day. All participants in the terminated offering will be transferred to the new
offering period.

     Change in Control. Should we be acquired by merger or sale of substantially
all of our assets or more than fifty percent of our voting securities, then all
outstanding purchase rights will automatically be exercised immediately prior to
the effective date of the acquisition. The purchase price will be equal to 85%
of the market value per share on the participant's entry date into the offering
period in which an acquisition occurs or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value
per share immediately prior to the acquisition.

     Plan Provisions. The following provisions will also be in effect under the
plan:

     - The plan will terminate no later than the last business day of July 2009;
       and

     - The board may at any time amend, suspend or discontinue the plan.
       However, certain amendments may require stockholder approval.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS


     We do not presently have any employment contracts in effect with the Chief
Executive Officer or any of the four other most highly compensated executive
officers for the year ended December 31, 1998, whose salary and bonus exceeded
$100,000. We provide incentives such as salary, benefits and option grants to
attract and retain qualified employees.


     In the event of a change of control, Mr. Yntema, our Chief Financial
Officer, and Mr. Krautkremer, our Vice President, Marketing, will each receive
his base salary and bonus for one year.

                                       57
<PAGE>   62


     In the event that Packeteer is acquired by merger or asset sale, the
compensation committee will have the authority to grant options which will
immediately vest upon an acquisition of Packeteer, whether or not those options
are assumed by the successor corporation. The compensation committee is also
authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs to
grant options and to structure repurchase rights so that the shares subject to
those options or repurchase rights will immediately vest in connection with a
change in control of Packeteer. This accelerated vesting shall take place
whether that change of control is by merger or asset sale, or successful tender
offer for more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock or a change in the
majority of the board by reason of one or more contested elections for board
membership. This vesting shall occur either at the time of such change in
control or upon the subsequent termination of the individual's service within a
designated period following such change in control. This designated period shall
not exceed 18 months. Some of the options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan
will immediately vest upon an acquisition of Packeteer by merger or asset sale,
as if they had been held for two times the length of the time they had actually
been held by the optionee, and the options will terminate unless assumed by, and
Packeteer's repurchase rights are assigned to, the successor entity. In
addition, certain options granted to executive officers provide that if the
options are assumed in an acquisition and the optionee's service is
involuntarily terminated within eighteen months following such acquisition the
option shares will vest in full and Packeteer's repurchase rights will lapse.
The compensation committee will have the discretion to extend the acceleration
provisions of the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan to options outstanding under the
Predecessor Plan.


LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

     Our certificate of incorporation limits our directors' liability for
monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors,
except to the extent otherwise required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
This limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or recission.


     Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in
which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. We have
entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors
containing provisions that may require us, among other things, to indemnify such
officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of
their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising
from willful misconduct of a culpable nature, to advance their expenses incurred
as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified, and to obtain directors' and officers' insurance if available on
reasonable terms.


     At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of
our directors or officers where indemnification is required or permitted.

COMMON STOCK

matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be
applicable to any outstanding preferred stock that may come into existence, the
holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any,
as may be declared from time to time by the board out of funds legally available
for dividends. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the
holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining
after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred
stock, if any, then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or
conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares
of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of common stock
to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be fully paid and
nonassessable.


PREFERRED STOCK

     The board of directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock in
one or more series and to fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion
rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation
preferences and the number of shares constituting a series or the designation of
such series, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The
issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection
with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect
of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control without further action
by the stockholders and may adversely affect the market price, and the voting
and other rights, of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred
stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of
the holders of common stock, including the loss of voting control to others. We
have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS OF CERTAIN HOLDERS


     Under the terms of a registration rights agreement, subject to certain
exceptions, if we propose to register any of our shares of common stock under
the Securities Act, either for our own account or the account of any
stockholder, in any public offering, certain investors holding an aggregate of
12,391,001 shares of our preferred stock as of June 30, 1999 are entitled to
notice of such registration and are entitled, upon conversion of their
registrable securities to include those registrable securities. In addition, the
holder or holders of an aggregate of at least 50% of the then outstanding
registrable securities shall have the right to require us to file a registration
statement on a form, other than


                                       62
<PAGE>   67

Form S-3 under the Securities Act, in order to register the registrable
securities then held by such holder or holders, provided that:

     - at least one year has passed since our initial public offering of shares
       of common stock under a registration statement;

     - the anticipated aggregate offering price to the public is at least
       $3,000,000; and

     - we shall not be required to file more than two such registration
       statements.

Further, a holder or holders may require us to use all reasonable efforts to
file additional registration statements on Form S-3, provided that:

     - the anticipated aggregate offering price to the public is at least
       $500,000 and

     - we shall not be required to file more than two such registration
       statements.

The right to include any of the above described registrable securities in any
registration is subject to certain limitations and conditions, including the
underwriters' right to limit the number of shares being registered by all
holders. We are required to indemnify holders of registrable securities and the
underwriters, if any, for these holders under certain circumstances. In general,
we are required to bear the expenses of two demand and all piggyback
registrations, except for the selling stockholders' pro rata portion of the
underwriting discounts and commissions.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW

     Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws contain certain provisions that, together with the ownership position
of the officers, directors and their affiliates, could discourage potential
takeover attempts and make more difficult, attempts by stockholders to change
management, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Furthermore, our board of directors has the authority to impose various
procedural and other requirements that could make it more difficult for
stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. Any vacancy on the board of
directors may be filled only by vote of the majority of directors then in
office.

     Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote
or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of common stock will be
subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any
preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred
stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for
a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock.


     Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. We are subject to
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which imposes restrictions
on business combinations, which include a merger, asset sale or other
transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, with
interested stockholders. An interested stockholder is any person who acquired
15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. In general, we are prohibited from
engaging in business combinations with an interested stockholder, unless:


     - before such person became an interested stockholder, the board of
       directors approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder
       became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;

                                       63
<PAGE>   68


     - upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder
       becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at
       least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction
       commenced, which excludes for purposes of determining the number of
       shares outstanding stock held by directors who are also officers and by
       employee stock plans that do not provide employees with the rights to
       determine confidentiality whether shares held subject to the plan will be
       tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or


     - at or subsequent to the time which such person became an interested
       stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of
       directors and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative
       vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not
       owned by the interested stockholder.

Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to certain
business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the
earlier of the announcement or notification of one of certain extraordinary
transactions involving Packeteer and a person who had not been an interested
stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested
stockholder with the approval of the board of directors, if such extraordinary
transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who are
directors prior to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the
previous three years or who were recommended for election or elected to succeed
such directors by a majority of such directors. By restricting our ability to
engage in business combinations with an interested person, the application of
Section 203 to Packeteer may provide a barrier to hostile or unwanted takeovers.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

     Pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have
adopted provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that
provide that our directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages
to us or our stockholders for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability as a result of:

     - a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

     - acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

     - an act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment of a dividend
       under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or

     - transactions from which the director derived an improper personal
       benefit.

     This limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable
remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Nevertheless, this charter
provision may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative
litigation being instituted against members of the board. Furthermore, it may
discourage or deter our stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit
against board members for breaches of fiduciary duty, even though such an
action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders.

     Our bylaws require us to indemnify our officers and directors and permit us
to indemnify our other agents, by agreement or otherwise, to the fullest extent
permitted under Delaware law. We have entered into separate indemnification
agreements with our directors and officers that may, in some cases, be broader
than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements may require us, among other
things, to indemnify the officers and directors against certain liabilities,
other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature,
that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers.
These agreements also may require us to advance the expenses incurred by the
officers and

                                       64
<PAGE>   69

directors as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be
indemnified, and to obtain directors' and officers' insurance if available on
reasonable terms.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling the
company, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable.

WARRANTS


     At June 30, 1999, there were warrants to purchase 200,628 shares of common
stock at a weighted average exercise price of $3.67.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE


     Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the
public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices. Furthermore,
since only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after
this offering because of certain contractual and legal restrictions on resale,
as described below, sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public
market after the restrictions lapse could adversely affect the prevailing market
price.



     After this offering, 26,153,884 shares of common stock will be outstanding,
assuming the issuance of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock. The
number of shares outstanding after this offering is based on the number of
shares outstanding as of June 30, 1999, and assumes no exercise of outstanding
options or warrants. The 4,000,000 shares sold in this offering will be freely
tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. The remaining 22,153,884
shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the offering are
restricted securities in that they may be sold in the public market only if
registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act or Rules 144, 144(k) or 701 of the Securities Act. In addition,
all outstanding shares are subject to a 180 day market standoff either directly
with Packeteer or as described below.



     All of the officers and directors and certain stockholders of Packeteer
holding an aggregate of 22,058,217 shares of common stock have entered into
lock-up agreements generally providing that they will not offer, pledge, sell,
offer to sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the shares of
common stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable
for, common stock owned by them, or enter into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
of ownership of the common stock, for a period of 180 days after the date of
this prospectus, without the prior written consent of BancBoston Robertson
Stephens Inc. Transfers may be made earlier:



     - as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided the donee or donees agree in
       writing to be bound by this restriction;



     - as a transfer to members of the undersigned's immediate family or to
       trusts for the benefit of members of the undersigned's immediate family,
       provided that the transferees agree in writing to be bound by the terms
       of this restriction;



     - as a distribution to partners, stockholders or beneficiaries of the
       transferor, provided that the distributees agree in writing to be bound
       by the terms of this restriction;



     - with respect to dispositions of common stock acquired on the open market;



     - with respect to sales or purchases of common stock acquired on the open
       market; or



     - with the prior written consent of BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.



BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time
without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up
agreements. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up
agreements, BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. will consider, among other
factors, the stockholder's reasons for requesting the release, the number of
shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the
time. Following the expiration of the 180 day lock-up period, additional shares
of common stock will be available for sale in the public market subject to
compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 701.


                                       66

     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, an affiliate of
Packeteer or a person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, who has
beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year, including the
holding period of any prior owner except an affiliate, would be entitled to sell
within any three months ended a number of shares that does not exceed the
greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of Packeteer common stock or the
average weekly trading volume of Packeteer common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144
are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and
the availability of current public information about Packeteer. Any person, or
persons whose shares are aggregated, who is not deemed to have been an affiliate
of Packeteer at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has
beneficially owned shares for at least two years including any period of
ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders, would be entitled to sell such
shares under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations, manner of
sale provisions, public information requirements or notice requirements.

</TABLE>


     We have been advised by the representatives that the underwriters propose
to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the initial public offering
price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at
such price less a concession of not in excess of $     per share, of which
$          may be reallowed to their dealers. After the initial public offering,
the public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced
by the representatives. No such reduction shall change the amount of proceeds to
be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The common
stock is offered by the underwriters as stated in this prospectus, subject to
receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in
whole or in part.


     The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which
they exercise discretionary authority.


     Over-allotment Option. We have granted to the underwriters an option,
exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of this prospectus, to
purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of common stock at the same price per
share as we will receive for the 4,000,000 shares that the underwriters have
agreed to purchase. To the extent that the underwriters exercise this option,
each of the underwriters will have a firm commitment to purchase approximately
the same percentage of these additional shares that the number of shares of
common stock to be purchased by it shown in the above table represents as a
percentage of the 4,000,000 shares offered in this offering. If purchased, such
additional shares will be sold by the underwriters on the same terms as those on
which the 4,000,000 shares are being sold. We will be obligated, according to
the option, to sell shares to the extent the option is exercised. The
underwriters may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in
connection with the sale of the shares of common stock offered in this offering.
If this option is exercised in full, the total public offering price of the
4,600,000 shares we sell to the underwriters, underwriting discounts and
commissions on such shares and total proceeds to us from the sale of these
shares will be $          , $          and $          , respectively.

     Indemnity. The underwriting agreement contains covenants of indemnity among
the underwriters and us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of
representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement.


     Lock-up Agreements. With the exception of holders of 95,667 shares of
outstanding common stock and holders of options and warrants to purchase 490,128
shares of common stock, each of our executive officers, directors, stockholders
of record, optionholders and warrantholders has agreed with the representatives,
for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain
exceptions, not to offer to sell, contract to sell, or otherwise sell, dispose
of, loan, pledge or grant any rights with respect to any shares of common stock,
any options or warrants to purchase any shares of common stock, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock owned as
of the date of this prospectus or, with certain exceptions, thereafter acquired
directly by such holders or with respect to which they have or hereafter acquire
the power of disposition, without the prior written consent of BancBoston
Robertson Stephens Inc. However, BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. may, in its
sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any portion of
the securities subject to the lock-up agreements. There are no agreements
between the representatives and any of our stockholders providing consent by the
representatives to the sale of shares prior to the expiration of the period of
180 days after this prospectus.



     Future Sales. In addition, we have agreed that during the period of 180
days after this prospectus, we will not, subject to certain exceptions, without
the prior written consent of BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.:


     - Consent to the disposition of any shares held by stockholders prior to
       the expiration of the period of 180 days after this prospectus; or

     - Issue, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
       common stock, any options or warrants to purchase any shares of common
       stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable
       for shares of common stock, other than (1) the sale of shares in this
       offering, (2) the issuance of common stock upon the exercise or
       conversion of outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities,
       (3) our issuance of stock options under existing stock option plans and
       (4) our issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

     Listing. We have applied for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol PKTR.

     No Prior Public Market. Prior to this offering, there has been no public
market for our common stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price for
the common stock offered hereby was

                                       69
<PAGE>   74

determined through negotiations between us and the representatives. Among the
factors considered in such negotiations were prevailing market conditions,
certain of our financial information, market valuations of other companies that
we and the representatives believed to be comparable to us, estimates of our
business potential, the present state of our development and other factors
deemed relevant.

     Stabilization. The representatives have advised us that, pursuant to
Regulation M under the Securities Act, certain persons participating in this
offering may engage in transactions, include stabilizing bids, syndicate
covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids, that may have the
effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the common stock at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. A
"stabilizing bid" is a bid for or the purchase of the common stock on behalf of
the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the
common stock. A "syndicate covering transaction" is the bid for or the purchase
of the common stock on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position
incurred by the underwriters in connection with this offering. A "penalty bid"
is an arrangement permitting the representatives to reclaim the selling
concession otherwise accruing to an underwriter or syndicate member in
connection with this offering if the common stock originally sold by such
underwriter or syndicate member is purchased by the representatives in a
syndicate covering transaction and has therefore not been effectively placed by
such underwriter or syndicate member. The representatives have advised us that
such transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise
and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.


     Directed Share Program. At our request, the underwriters have reserved up
to 240,000 shares of common stock to be issued by us and offered hereby for
sale, at the initial public offering price, to directors, officers, employees,
business associates and related persons of Packeteer. The number of shares of
common stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the
extent such individuals purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares which
are not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public
on the same basis as the other shares offered hereby.


                                 LEGAL MATTERS


     The legality of the common stock we are offering will be passed upon for
Packeteer by Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP, Palo Alto, California, and for the
underwriters by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, Palo
Alto, California.

     We have been advised by the representatives that the underwriters propose
to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the initial public offering
price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at
such price less a concession of not in excess of $     per share, of which
$          may be reallowed to their dealers. After the initial public offering,
the public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced
by the representatives. No such reduction shall change the amount of proceeds to
be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The common
stock is offered by the underwriters as stated in this prospectus, subject to
receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in
whole or in part.


     The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which
they exercise discretionary authority.


     Over-allotment Option. We have granted to the underwriters an option,
exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of this prospectus, to
purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of common stock at the same price per
share as we will receive for the 4,000,000 shares that the underwriters have
agreed to purchase. To the extent that the underwriters exercise this option,
each of the underwriters will have a firm commitment to purchase approximately
the same percentage of these additional shares that the number of shares of
common stock to be purchased by it shown in the above table represents as a
percentage of the 4,000,000 shares offered in this offering. If purchased, such
additional shares will be sold by the underwriters on the same terms as those on
which the 4,000,000 shares are being sold. We will be obligated, according to
the option, to sell shares to the extent the option is exercised. The
underwriters may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in
connection with the sale of the shares of common stock offered in this offering.
If this option is exercised in full, the total public offering price of the
4,600,000 shares we sell to the underwriters, underwriting discounts and
commissions on such shares and total proceeds to us from the sale of these
shares will be $          , $          and $          , respectively.

     Indemnity. The underwriting agreement contains covenants of indemnity among
the underwriters and us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of
representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement.


     Lock-up Agreements. With the exception of holders of warrants to purchase
200,628 shares of common stock, each of our executive officers, directors,
stockholders of record, optionholders and warrantholders has agreed with the
representatives, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus,
subject to certain exceptions, not to offer to sell, contract to sell, or
otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any rights with respect to any
shares of common stock, any options or warrants to purchase any shares of common
stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common
stock owned as of the date of this prospectus or, with certain exceptions,
thereafter acquired directly by such holders or with respect to which they have
or hereafter acquire the power of disposition, without the prior written consent
of BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. However, BancBoston Robertson Stephens
Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or
any portion of the securities subject to the lock-up agreements. There are no
agreements between the representatives and any of our stockholders providing
consent by the representatives to the sale of shares prior to the expiration of
the period of 180 days after this prospectus.



     Future Sales. In addition, we have agreed that during the period of 180
days after this prospectus, we will not, subject to certain exceptions, without
the prior written consent of BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.:


     - Consent to the disposition of any shares held by stockholders prior to
       the expiration of the period of 180 days after this prospectus; or

     - Issue, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
       common stock, any options or warrants to purchase any shares of common
       stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable
       for shares of common stock, other than (1) the sale of shares in this
       offering, (2) the issuance of common stock upon the exercise or
       conversion of outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities,
       (3) our issuance of stock options under existing stock option plans and
       (4) our issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

     Listing. We have applied for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol PKTR.

     No Prior Public Market. Prior to this offering, there has been no public
market for our common stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price for
the common stock offered hereby was

                                       69
<PAGE>   78

determined through negotiations between us and the representatives. Among the
factors considered in such negotiations were prevailing market conditions,
certain of our financial information, market valuations of other companies that
we and the representatives believed to be comparable to us, estimates of our
business potential, the present state of our development and other factors
deemed relevant.

     Stabilization. The representatives have advised us that, pursuant to
Regulation M under the Securities Act, certain persons participating in this
offering may engage in transactions, include stabilizing bids, syndicate
covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids, that may have the
effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the common stock at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. A
"stabilizing bid" is a bid for or the purchase of the common stock on behalf of
the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the
common stock. A "syndicate covering transaction" is the bid for or the purchase
of the common stock on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position
incurred by the underwriters in connection with this offering. A "penalty bid"
is an arrangement permitting the representatives to reclaim the selling
concession otherwise accruing to an underwriter or syndicate member in
connection with this offering if the common stock originally sold by such
underwriter or syndicate member is purchased by the representatives in a
syndicate covering transaction and has therefore not been effectively placed by
such underwriter or syndicate member. The representatives have advised us that
such transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise
and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.


     Directed Share Program. At our request, the underwriters have reserved up
to 240,000 shares of common stock to be issued by us and offered hereby for
sale, at the initial public offering price, to directors, officers, employees,
business associates and related persons of Packeteer. The number of shares of
common stock available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the
extent such individuals purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares which
are not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public
on the same basis as the other shares offered hereby.


                                 LEGAL MATTERS


     The legality of the common stock we are offering will be passed upon for
Packeteer by Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP, Palo Alto, California, and for the
underwriters by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, Palo
Alto, California.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
PACKETEER, INC.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Packeteer,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the period from January 25, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 1996, and for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1998. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Packeteer,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the period from January 25, 1996 (inception)
to December 31, 1996, and for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1999 IS UNAUDITED)

                     (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Organization


     Packeteer, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on January 25, 1996, to
provide application-adaptive bandwidth management solutions that enhance
mission-critical application performance over enterprise WANs and the Internet.
The Company's solutions enable businesses and service providers to manage
proactively bandwidth contention at WAN access links, protect important
application traffic and increase network efficiency. The Company markets and
distributes its products via a worldwide network of VARs, distributors, systems
integrators and OEMs. The Company commenced principal operations in 1997. The
Company is headquartered in Cupertino, California, and has wholly owned
subsidiaries in Japan, Hong Kong and The Netherlands.


(b) Principles of Consolidation


     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company and its three wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.


(c) Use of Estimates

     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements


     The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis
as the audited consolidated financial statements, and including all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair

results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30,

(e) Revenue Recognition


     The Company recognizes product revenues, with provision made for estimated
returns, after the following events have occurred: the customer issues a
noncancelable purchase order; a product has been shipped to the customer; and
collection of the sales price is probable.



     Maintenance revenue on product sales is recognized ratably over the term of
the maintenance period.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
     For software transactions entered into after January 1, 1998, the Company
adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA)
Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" as modified by
SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect
to Certain Transactions." SOP 97-2 generally requires revenue earned on software
arrangements involving multiple-elements to be allocated to each element based
on its relative fair value. The fair value of the element must be based on
objective evidence that is specific to the vendor. If a vendor does not have
objective evidence of the fair value of all elements in a multiple-element
arrangement, all revenue from the arrangement must be deferred until such
evidence exists or until all elements have been delivered, unless the only
undelivered element is post-contract customer support, in which case, the entire
fee is recognized over the support period.

     Service revenue is recognized as the services are performed. To date, these
amounts have not been significant.

(f) Cost of Revenues

     Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs of product sales. Costs of
licensing revenues, including product packaging, documentation and reproduction
have not been significant. The Company provides reserves for warranty costs
expected to be incurred. To date the Company has not incurred significant
warranty costs.

(g) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity from
date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit with banks, money market
instruments, and investments in commercial paper. As of December 31, 1997 and
1998, cash equivalents total approximately $2,141 and $2,389, respectively.

     Management determines the appropriate classification of investment
securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each
balance sheet date. As of December 31, 1997 and 1998, all investment securities
are designated as "available-for-sale." Available-for-sale securities are
carried at fair value based on quoted market prices, which approximates cost.
The cost of securities sold is determined based on the specific identification
method.

(h) Inventories

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out
basis) or market. Inventory balances represent completed products
available-for-sale.

(i) Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements and equipment
acquired under capital lease, are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization are provided using a straight-line method

over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease terms,
generally one to four years.

     The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment is measured by
comparison of its carrying amount to future net cash flows the property and
equipment are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the property and equipment exceeds its fair market value. To
date, the Company has made no adjustments to the carrying amount of its property
and equipment due to impairment.

(j) Research and Development Costs

     Development costs incurred in the research and development of new products
and enhancements to existing products are expensed as incurred until
technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established.
To date, software developments have been completed concurrent with the
establishment of technological feasibility, and, accordingly, no costs have been
capitalized.

(k) Business and Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company's cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments are maintained with highly accredited
financial institutions. The Company's cash equivalents are primarily in highly
liquid money market funds. The Company believes no significant concentration of
credit risk exists with respect to these financial instruments. Concentrations
of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited as the Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. Based on management's
evaluation of potential credit losses, the Company believes its allowances for
doubtful accounts are adequate.

     The Company's products, which are sold worldwide, are targeted to
organizations utilizing wide area networks. Accordingly, the Company's future
success depends upon the capital spending patterns of such customers and the
continued demand by such customers for the Company's product. The networking
industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry
standards, changes in end-user requirements and frequent new product
introductions and enhancements.

     The Company's continued success will depend upon its ability to enhance
existing products and to develop and introduce, on a timely basis, new products
and features that keep pace with technology developments and emerging industry
standards. Furthermore, as a result of its international sales, the Company's
operations are subject to risks of doing business abroad, including, but not
limited to, export duties, changes to import and export regulations, longer
payment cycles, and greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable. While,
to date, these factors have not had an adverse material impact on the Company's
consolidated results of operations, there can be no assurance that there will
not be such an impact in the future.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
(l) Income Taxes

     The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of
deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any
tax benefits of which future realization is uncertain.

(m) Stock-Based Compensation

     For employee stock-based compensation plans, the Company uses the intrinsic
value-based method of accounting. Deferred compensation expense associated with
stock-based compensation is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the
vesting period of the individual award consistent with the method described in
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 28, Accounting
for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans.

     For non-employees, the Company computes the fair value of the stock based
compensation in accordance with SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation" and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18 "Accounting for Equity
Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services."

(n) Foreign Currency Transactions

     The Company's sales to international customers are U.S. dollar-denominated.
As a result, there are no foreign currency gains or losses related to these
transactions.


     The functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the U.S.
dollar. Accordingly, the entities remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at
period-end exchange rates, while nonmonetary items are remeasured at historical
rates. Income and expense accounts are remeasured at the average rates in effect
during the year, except for depreciation which is remeasured at historical
rates. Remeasurement adjustments and transaction gains and losses are recognized
in income in the year of occurrence. To date, the effect of such amounts on net
income has not been material.


(o) Other Comprehensive Income

     The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income.

(p) Net Loss Per Share

     Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of
vested outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is
computed using the weighted-average number of shares of vested common stock
outstanding and, when dilutive, potential common shares. Potential common shares
include unvested common stock outstanding and potential common shares from
options and warrants to purchase common stock using the treasury stock method,
and convertible preferred stock on the as-if converted basis. All potential
shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for
all periods presented because the effect would be antidilutive. Pursuant to the
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98, common stock and convertible preferred
stock issued for nominal consideration, prior to the anticipated effective date
of the initial public offering, or IPO, are included in the calculation of basic
and diluted net loss per share as if they were outstanding for all periods
presented. To date, the Company has not had any issuances or grants for nominal
consideration. Diluted net loss per share does not include the effects of the
following potential common shares:

1998, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of warrants was $1.00
and $1.81 as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

(q) Financial Instruments

     The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their
estimated fair value due to the relative short maturity of these instruments.
The carrying value of long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximates
carrying value based on the market interest rates available to the Company for
debt of similar risk and maturities.

(r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     The FASB recently issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. For a derivative not
designated as a hedging instrument, changes in the fair value of the derivative
are recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company must adopt SFAS
No. 133 by January 1, 2000. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No.
133 will have a material effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY -- (CONTINUED)
     During 1998, the Company granted rights to purchase 202 shares of common
stock. These rights, which were not granted under the Plan, have exercise prices
ranging from $0.25 to $3.50 per share. At the date of grant, the Company
estimated the fair value of the rights to be $5 using the Black-Scholes model
with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.5%; an expected
life of four years; expected volatility of 50%; and no dividend.

     During 1998, the Company repurchased 306 shares of common stock at $0.10 to

(c) Equity Incentive Plan


     The Company has adopted the Plan in order to provide selected employees,
directors, and consultants of the Company an opportunity to acquire the
Company's common stock. The Plan provides for granting of incentive stock
options, nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses, and restricted stock
purchase rights. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which sets
the terms and conditions of the options. Nonstatutory stock options and
incentive stock options are exercisable at prices not less than 85% and 100%,
respectively, of the fair value on the date of grant. The options become 25%
vested one year after the date of grant with 1/48 per month vesting thereafter
and expire at the end of 10 years from date of grant or sooner if terminated by
the Board of Directors. The options may include a provision whereby the option
holder may elect at any time to exercise the option prior to the full vesting of
the option. Unvested shares so purchased shall be subject to a repurchase right
by the Company at the original purchase price. Such right shall lapse at a rate
equivalent to the vesting period of the original option. As of December 31,
1998, 2,010 shares were subject to repurchase. During 1997, the Board of
Directors reserved 953 shares for issuance under the Plan, and 318 shares were
made available through the repurchase of certain shares. In 1998, the Board of
Directors reserved an additional 2,025 shares for issuance under the Plan, and
306 shares were made available through the repurchase of certain shares, as
noted above.

</TABLE>

     As of December 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards
for federal and California state income tax purposes of approximately $13,790
and $12,113, respectively. In addition, the Company had federal and state
research credit carryforwards of approximately $142 and $112, respectively. The
Company's federal net operating loss and research credit carryforwards will
expire in the years 2010 through 2018, if not utilized. The Company's state net
operating loss carryforwards will expire in the year 2004. The state research
credit can be carried forward indefinitely.

     Federal and state tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the
utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in the event of
an "ownership change" as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The
Company has not yet determined whether an ownership change has occurred.

7. 401(k) PLAN

     In 1997, the Company adopted a 401(k) plan (the 401(k)). Participation in
the 401(k) is available to all employees. Entry date to the 401(k) is the first
day of each month. Each participant may elect to contribute an amount up to 20%
of his or her annual base salary plus commission and bonus, but not to exceed
the statutory limit as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company may
make discretionary contributions to the 401(k). To date, no contributions have
been made by the Company.

8. SEGMENT REPORTING

     The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company's chief
operating decision maker is considered to be the Company's CEO. The CEO reviews
financial information presented on a consolidated basis substantially similar to

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Revolving Loan Agreement

     In January 1999, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with a
maximum line of $3,000. Advances are limited to the lesser of the maximum line
or the borrowing base which is 80% of eligible receivables. The outstanding
principal balance accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate
and is secured by all present and future collateral of the Company.

Subordinated Loan Agreement

     Additionally, in January 1999, the Company entered into a subordinated loan
agreement evidenced by a promissory note of $2,500, that is secured by the
assets of the Company. The note has a stated interest rate of 12.25% and is
payable in 36 monthly installments of various amounts with the final installment
due on February 1, 2002. In connection with the note, the Company issued a
warrant

to purchase 98 shares of Series D preferred stock at $3.58 per share. The
warrant is immediately exercisable and expires in January 2006. The Company
estimated the fair value of the warrant on the grant date to be $211 using the
Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of
4.5%; an expected life of seven years; expected volatility of 50%; and no
dividends. The Company will amortize the value to interest expense over the term
of the note.

Initial Public Offering and Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

     In May 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the filing of a registration
statement with the SEC, that would permit the Company to sell shares of the
Company's common stock in connection with a proposed IPO. If the offering is
consummated under the terms presently anticipated, all of the outstanding shares
of the Company's convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into
shares of common stock upon closing of the proposed IPO. The conversion of the
convertible preferred stock has been reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro
forma consolidated balance sheet.

1999 Stock Incentive Plan


     In May 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan under which 900 shares have been reserved for issuance. In
addition, any shares not issued under the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan will also
be available for grant. The number of shares reserved under the 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan will automatically increase annually beginning on January 1, 2000
by the lesser of 3,000 shares or 5% of the total number of shares of common
stock outstanding. Under the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, eligible individuals may
be granted options to purchase common shares or may be issued shares of common
stock directly.


1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan


     The Company's Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "Purchase Plan") in May 1999. The Purchase Plan is pending approval by
the stockholders. A total of 500 shares have been reserved for issuance. The
number of shares reserved will automatically increase annually beginning on
January 1, 2000 by the lesser of 1,000 or 2% of the total number of common stock
shares outstanding.



Loan and Security Agreement (Unaudited)



     In May 1999, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement
evidenced by a secured promissory note of $2,500. The note has a stated interest
rate of 12.76% with interest-only payments due monthly. The final interest and
principal payment is due in May 2000. In connection with the note, the Company
issued a warrant to purchase 45 shares of Series D preferred stock at $6.25 per
share. The warrant is immediately exercisable and expires in May 2009. The
Company estimated the fair value of the warrant on the grant date to be $157
using the Black-Scholes model. The Company will amortize the value to interest
expense over the term of the note.

                             DESCRIPTION OF ARTWORK


INSIDE FRONT COVER

     The inside front cover of the prospectus contains five purple boxes on a
background consisting of many lines of multi-colored text overlaid over itself.
Repeating names of different types of Internet traffic including Oracle, Voice
Over IP, PointCast, Web Browsing, Lotus Notes, SNA and TN3270 comprise the
background text.

     The boxes are staggered from top to bottom and contain the following
questions from top to bottom: "You count on your network. Is it letting your
applications down?"; "Is your network coping with the flood of Internet
traffic?"; "What's running on your network today? Tomorrow?"; "Are users'
tempers your only measure of response time?"; and "Applications drive your
business. Shouldn't your network adapt to your applications?" At the bottom of
the page a caption reads, "Names in background represent typical enterprise
applications in contention for limited bandwidth."

INSIDE GATEFOLD

     Along the left side is a purple and black stripe which runs from the top to
the bottom of the page vertically. Embedded in the stripe is a caption which
reads "Case Study." Below such caption are four paragraphs, each following a
separate subcaption, which read as follows: "Domino's Pizza. Domino's Pizza uses
PacketShapers to protect its PeopleSoft supply-chain applications in nationwide
distribution centers." "Hoechst Marion Roussel. When Hoechst Marion Roussel, one
of the world's leading pharmaceutical firms, researched bandwidth-management
solutions to control performance of SAP/R3 and Microsoft Exchange, chose
Packeteer. PacketShaper detects and shelters SAP traffic and balances
Exchange-related traffic for optimum performance." "Big Globe. Big Globe, a
leading Japanese ISP owned by NEC, relies on PacketShaper to keep their
customers up to speed. PacketShaper allocates a minimum rate to each subscriber
to ensure timely response." "ADC Telecommunications. ADC Telecommunications
embeds PacketWise software into their own ServicePoint(TM) products. Through
ServicePoint, PacketWise enables service providers to offer differentiated
managed services." At the bottom of the purple and black stripe a caption
reads, "These companies are a representative sample of Packeteer's customers."

     To the right of the case studies, centered at the top of the Gateway, is
the caption, "Shaping the Internet for Business. Packeteer provides bandwidth
management solutions that enhance the performance of mission critical
applications running over enterprise wide-area networks and the Internet. This
is accomplished using a comprehensive 4-step process."

     In the center of the Gateway is a circle consisting of four large arrows
pointing in a clockwise direction. In the middle of the circle is the Packeteer
logo. Embedded in the stem of each arrow is one word reading as follows
beginning with the arrow in the upper left section of the circle: "Classify",
"Analyze" "Control" and "Report." At the outside of each arrow is a caption and
a quotation. Outside the arrow embedded with the word "Classify" is the caption,
"Discover & Classify Traffic" followed by the words, "Identifying the types of
network traffic competing for limited bandwidth is the first step toward solving
the problem. Packeteer discovers and classifies traffic, often exposing
applications you didn't even realize were sneaking onto your network." Outside
the arrow embedded with the word, "Analyze" is the caption, "Analyze Network
Behavior" followed by the words, "Packeteer technology shows you how your
limited bandwidth is consumed. When you realize that a majority of your
bandwidth is being devoured by casual web browsing, it becomes obvious why
critical applications move so slowly." Outside the arrow embedded with the word
"Control" is the caption, "Control Bandwidth Allocation" followed by the words,
"Packeteer enables you to protect the performance of critical applications like
SAP and Oracle with bandwidth policies. Control less important traffic while
giving voice and video streams the bandwidth they require for clear reception.
Outside the arrow embedded with the word "Report" is the caption "Report on
Performance" followed by the words "Packeteer's graphs and reports prove to
internal and external customers that applications continue to perform despite a
constantly growing network. For example, if PeopleSoft response time becomes too
slow, set a policy to protect it and keep employees productive."

     Below the circle are two cutaway diagrams of bandwidth cable. The left
diagram, entitled "Before PacketShaper," illustrates how the use of bandwidth
for "Web & FTP" traffic causes the performance of "Mission Critical
Applications" to suffer. The right diagram, entitled "After PacketShaper,"
illustrates guaranteed bandwidth for Mission Critical Applications regardless of
how heavy Web and FTP traffic is.

     Along the right side of page is a purple and black stripe which runs from
the top to the bottom of the page vertically. Embedded in the stripe is the
caption "Market Opportunities" followed by three paragraphs which read as
follows:

     "Enterprise. PacketShaper keeps enterprise network managers informed and in
control. Managers monitor application performance, evaluate network efficiency,
and protect mission-critical applications with policy-based bandwidth
allocation."

     "Service Provider. In the face of heightened competition, service providers
are seeking to differentiate themselves by offering such as web hosting,
application outsourcing, and tiered service levels. These services require
control over network and application performance. PacketShaper delivers
control."

     "OEM. OEM partners embed PacketWise software into their own products to
deliver the bandwidth-management-intelligent analysis, sheltered application
performance, and increased network efficiency."

     At the bottom of the stripe is the following caption: "These represent
Packeteer's current and future market opportunities."

BACK INSIDE COVER

     The back inside cover has a caption reading, "Take Control of Your Network.
Packeteer's PacketShaper is controlled and monitored through a web-browser
interface that enables network managers with a password to configure, control
and monitor the PacketShaper from anywhere via a network connection. Some sample
screens are shown." On the remainder of the page are five overlapping computer
screenshots displaying various reports on Internet traffic produced by the
PacketWise software, under which there is a picture of three PacketShapers and
the words, "PacketShaper 1000, 2000 & 4000. Packeteer's stand-alone bandwidth
management solutions. PacketWise embedded technology for OEMs," followed by the
PacketWise logo.

     On the left are three pictures. The first two are computers with the
captions "Web Server" and "File Server", respectively. The third is a cloud-like
shape representing the "Enterprise Local Area Network." Lines from each of the
above converge to a box to the right with the words "PacketShaper 2000" above
it. To the right of the PacketShaper 2000, and connected by a line, is a
circular depiction of a router entitled "Internet Access Router." To the right
of the router and connected to it by a line is a cloud-shaped representation of
the Internet. Running from the top of the Internet is a line connecting to
another "Internet Access Router." Such line continues above the router to a box
representing a "PacketShaper 4000." Splitting off from the PacketShaper 4000 are
two lines, each running to a graphic depiction of a computer next to the caption
"ISP Web Server Farm." Running from the cloud-like depiction of the Internet are
four lines, each connected to a graphic depiction of a computer labeled, from
top to bottom, as follows: "28.8 Modem Low-Speed User", "T-1 High-Speed User",
"ISDN/xDSL Mid-Speed User" and "14.4 Modem Low-Speed User."

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnification to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). Packeteer's Bylaws provide for mandatory
indemnification of its directors and officers and permissible indemnification of
employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law. Packeteer's Certificate of Incorporation provides that,
subject to Delaware law, its directors shall not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty as directors to
Packeteer and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of
Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty, and in
appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to Packeteer or its stockholders for acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing
violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the
director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or
redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not
affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal
securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. Packeteer has entered
into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, a form of which
is filed as Exhibit 10 to this Registration Statement (the "Indemnification
Agreements"). The Indemnification Agreements provide Packeteer's officers and
directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law. Reference is also made to Section 6 of the
Underwriting Agreement contained in Exhibit 1.1 hereto, indemnifying officers
and directors of Packeteer against certain liabilities, and Section 3.7 of the
Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement contained in Exhibit 4.2
hereto, indemnifying certain of Packeteer's stockholders, including controlling
stockholders, against certain liabilities.

     The issuances described in paragraph 1 were deemed exempt from registration
under the Securities Act in reliance upon Rule 701 promulgated under the
Securities Act. The issuances of the securities described in paragraphs 2
through 7 were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Act in reliance
on Section 4(2) of the Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public
offering. In addition, the recipients of securities in each such transaction
represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and
not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and
appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in such
transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships
with Packeteer, to information about Packeteer.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     Packeteer hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters at the closing
specified in the Underwriting Agreement, certificates in such denominations and
registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to permit prompt
delivery to each purchaser.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Packeteer
pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or the Bylaws of Packeteer, Indemnification Agreements entered
into between Packeteer and its officers and directors, the Underwriting
Agreement, or otherwise, Packeteer has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by Packeteer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or
controlling person of Packeteer in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder, Packeteer will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part
     of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of Prospectus filed by Packeteer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
     or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     Prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

               We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1
originally filed by Packeteer, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 21, 1999, as thereafter amended or
supplemented (the "Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 4,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"). The Shares include an over-allotment
option granted to the Underwriters to purchase 600,000 additional Shares and are
to be sold to the Underwriters as described in such Registration Statement for

                                   THE CREDIT

        2.01.  Credit Facility.

               (a) Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof
and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth as and when
made or deemed to be made, Lender agrees to make a Loan in the principal amount
of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000).

               (b) Loan Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Loan from the date of the Loan until the Loan is paid in
full, at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Loan Rate determined in
accordance with the definition of Loan Rate. The Loan Rate applicable to the
Loan shall not be subject to change in the absence of manifest error. All
computations of interest on the Loan shall be based on a year of twelve 30 day
months. If Borrower pays interest on any Loan which is determined to be in
excess of the then legal maximum rate, then that portion of each interest
payment representing an amount in excess of the then legal maximum rate shall be
deemed a payment of principal and applied against the principal of the Loan.

               (c) Payments of Principal and Interest. Borrower shall make
payments of accrued interest only on the outstanding principal amount of the
Loan on each Payment Date, commencing June 30, 1999 through and including April
30, 2000. On May 31, 2000, Borrower shall make a final payment equal to the
entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan, plus accrued and unpaid
interest.

        2.02.  Use of Proceeds; the Loan and the Note; Disbursement.

               (a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used
solely for working capital or general corporate purposes of Borrower.

               (b) The Loan and the Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay
the unpaid principal amount of and interest on the Loan shall be evidenced by
the Note. Lender may, and is hereby authorized by Borrower to, endorse on a grid
annexed to the Note appropriate notations regarding the Loan; provided, however,
that the failure to make, or an error in making, any such notation shall not
limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the
Note.

               (c) Disbursement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall disburse such Loan by wire transfer to
Borrower unless otherwise directed in writing by Borrower.

               (d) Termination of Commitment to Lend. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Operative Documents, Lender's obligation to lend the
undisbursed portion of the Credit Amount to Borrower hereunder shall terminate
on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, and (ii)
the Commitment Termination Date.

               (e) Optional Prepayment with Premium. Upon three (3) Business
Days' prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may, at its option, at any time,
prepay the Loan in its entirety, at a prepayment price equal to the principal
amount of the Loan so to be prepaid, plus interest accrued thereon through and



                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

including the date of such prepayment, plus a premium equal to the Applicable
Premium. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and Lender exercises
its right under Section 9.02 to accelerate the Loan, Borrower expressly agrees
that the amount then due and payable shall include the Applicable Premium as of
the date of such acceleration.

        2.03.  Other Payment Terms.

               (a) Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to
Lender in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, at
the address for payments and in the manner specified in Section 10.05(b).

               (b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a
day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
interest or fees, as the case may be.

               (c) Default Rate. If either (i) any amounts required to be paid
by Borrower under this Agreement or the other Operative Documents (including
principal or interest payable on the Loan, any fees or other amounts) remain
unpaid after such amounts are due, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal balance
hereunder from the date due or from the date of the Event of Default, as
applicable, until such past due amounts are paid in full or until all Events of
Defaults are cured, as applicable, at a per annum rate equal to the Default
Rate, such rate to change from time to time as the Prime Rate shall change. All
computations of such interest at the Default Rate shall be based on a year of
twelve 30 day months.

        2.04. Commitment Fee. Lender has received a commitment fee from Borrower
in the amount of $25,000 (the "Commitment Fee"). Any portion of the Commitment
Fee not utilized to pay Lender's expenses in connection with the negotiation,
documentation and funding of the Loan will be applied by Lender to amounts due
under the Note in the order in which such amounts are due. If the Loan is not
made, any remaining balance of the Commitment Fee shall be retained by Lender.

Operative Document to which Borrower is a party, (ii) the performance of
Borrower's obligations under any Operative Document, or (iii) the granting of
the security interest in the Collateral, except for filings in connection with

similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights or by general principles of equity.

               (f) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or
affecting Borrower, or the business or any property or asset owned by it, before
any court or governmental department, agency or instrumentality which, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, business or operations of Borrower.

               (g) Security Interest. Assuming the proper filing of one or more
financing statement(s) identifying the Collateral with the proper state and/or
local authorities, the security interests in the Collateral



                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10

granted to Lender pursuant to this Agreement (i) constitute and will continue to
constitute first priority security interests (except to the extent any other
Permitted Lien existing on the date of this Agreement may create any priority to
Lender's Lien under this Agreement) and (ii) are and will continue to be
superior and prior to the rights in the Collateral of all other creditors of
Borrower (except to the extent of such Permitted Liens).

               (h) Executive Offices. The principal place of business and chief
executive office of Borrower, and the office where Borrower will keep all
records and files regarding the Collateral, is set forth on the cover page of
this Agreement.

               (i) Solvency, Etc. Borrower is Solvent (as defined below) and,
after the execution and delivery of the Operative Documents and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated thereby, Borrower will be Solvent. "Solvent"
shall mean, with respect to any Person on any date, that on such date (a) the
fair value of the property of such Person is greater than the fair value of the
liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities) of such
Person, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person is not
less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such
Person on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) such Person does
not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities
beyond such Person's ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature and (d)
such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about in
business or a transaction, for which such Person's property would constitute an
unreasonably small capital.

               (j) Catastrophic Events; Labor Disputes. None of Borrower or its
properties is or has been affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike,
lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act
of God or other casualty that could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition, business or operations of Borrower.
There are no disputes presently subject to grievance procedure, arbitration or
litigation under any of the collective bargaining agreements, employment
contracts or employee welfare or incentive plans to which Borrower is a party,
and there are no strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns, or, to the best
knowledge of Borrower, jurisdictional disputes or organizing activity occurring
or threatened which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, business or operations of Borrower.

               (k) No Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred and no
condition exists which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, business or operations of Borrower since
December 31, 1996.

               (l) Accuracy of Information Furnished. None of the Operative
Documents and none of the other certificates, statements or information
furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Operative
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby contains or will contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The Lender recognizes that all
financial projections furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in
connection with the Operative Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby
are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected or forecasted
results.

               (m) Certain Agreements of Officers, Employees and Consultants.
(i) No officer, employee or consultant of Borrower is, or is now expected to be,
in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information
agreement, nondisclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant relating to the right of any
such officer, employee or consultant to be employed by Borrower because of the
nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by Borrower or relating to
the use of trade secrets or proprietary information of others, and to the best
of Borrower's knowledge, after due inquiry, the continued employment of
Borrower's officers, employees and consultants do not subject Borrower to any
liability for any claim or claims arising out of or in connection with any such
contract, agreement, or covenant. (ii) To the knowledge of Borrower, no officers
of Borrower, and no employee or consultant of Borrower whose termination, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, has any present intention of terminating his or her
employment or consulting relationship with Borrower.

                                       IV

                             REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

        4.01. Furnishing Reports. Borrower shall furnish to Lender:

               (a) Financial Statements. So long as Borrower is not subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 12 or Section 15 of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, promptly as they are available, unaudited
monthly and audited annual financial statements of Borrower and such other
financial information as Lender may reasonably request from time to time. From
and after such time as Borrower becomes a publicly reporting company, promptly
as they are available and in any event: (i) not later than three (3) days after
the time of filing of Borrower's Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, the financial
statements of Borrower filed with such Form 10-K; and (ii) not later than three
days after the time of filing of Borrower's Form 10-Q with the Securities and
Exchange Commission after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of
Borrower, the financial statements of Borrower filed with such Form 10-Q.

               (b) Notice of Defaults. As soon as possible, and in any event
within five (5) Business Days after the discovery of a Default or Event of
Default provide Lender with an Officer's Certificate of Borrower setting forth
the facts relating to or giving rise to such Default or Event of Default and the
action which Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto.

                                        V

or the rendering of services by Borrower (subject, in each case, to the

contemplated by this Section 5.02, including duly executing and delivering
termination statements for filing in all relevant jurisdictions.

        5.03. Possession of Collateral. Except as set forth in Section 5.04, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall
remain in full possession, enjoyment and control of the Collateral (except only
as may be otherwise required by Lender for perfection of its security interest
therein) and to manage, operate and use the same and each part thereof with the
rights and franchises appertaining thereto; provided, however, that the
possession, enjoyment, control and use of the Collateral shall at all times be
subject to the observance and performance of the terms of this Agreement.

        5.04 Location of Collateral. The Collateral is and shall remain in the
possession of Borrower at Borrower's address stated on the cover page of this
Agreement.

        5.05 Lien Subordination. Lender agrees that the Liens granted to it
hereunder shall be subordinate to the Liens of Silicon Valley Bank and Comdisco,
Inc. with respect to the Indebtedness specified in the Disclosure Schedule;
provided, that the Obligations hereunder shall not be subordinate in right of
payment to any obligations to such parties and Lender's rights and remedies
hereunder shall not in any way be subordinate to the rights and remedies of any
such parties. Lender agrees to execute and deliver such agreements and documents
as may be reasonably requested by Borrower from time to time which set forth the
lien subordination described in this Section 5.05 and are reasonably acceptable
to Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to execute any agreement or document
which would impose obligations, restrictions or lien priority on Lender which
are less favorable to Lender than those described in this Section 5.05.

                                       VI

                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

        6.01.  Affirmative Covenants.

               (a) Payment of Taxes, etc. Borrower shall pay and discharge all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon
its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date
on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might
become a Lien upon any of its properties; provided that there shall be no
requirement to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim (i) which is
being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or which presents
no risk of seizure, forfeiture, levy or other event which could jeopardize any
Collateral or (ii) for which payment in full is bonded or reserved in Borrower's
financial statements.

               (b) Inspection Rights. Borrower shall, at any reasonable time and
from time to time, permit Lender or any of its agents or representatives to
inspect the Collateral, to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the
records and books of account of, and visit the properties of, Borrower and to
discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Borrower with any of its officers
or directors relating in each case to Lender's capacity as lender and secured
party hereunder and with respect to the Collateral.

               (c) Maintenance of Equipment and Similar Assets. Borrower shall
keep and maintain all items of equipment and other similar types of personal
property that form any significant portion or portions of the Collateral in good
operating condition and repair and shall make all necessary replacements thereof
and renewals thereto so that the value and operating efficiency thereof shall at
all times be maintained and preserved. Borrower shall not permit any such
material item of Collateral to become a fixture to real estate or an accession
to other personal property, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Borrower shall not permit any such material item of Collateral to be operated or
maintained in violation of



                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14

any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation. With respect to items of leased
equipment (to the extent Lender has any security interest in any residual
Borrower's interest in such equipment under the lease), Borrower shall keep,
maintain, repair, replace and operate such leased equipment in accordance with
the terms of the applicable lease.

               (d) Insurance. (i) Borrower shall, obtain and maintain for the
Term, at its own expense, (x) "all risk" insurance against loss or damage to the
Collateral, (y) commercial general liability insurance (including contractual
liability, products liability and completed operations coverages) reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, and (z) such other insurance against such other risks of
loss and with such terms, as shall in each case be reasonably satisfactory to or
reasonably required by Lender (as to carriers, amounts and otherwise). The
amount of the "all risk" insurance shall be determined to Lender's reasonable
satisfaction. (ii) The deductible with respect to "all-risk" insurance required
by clause (x) above and product liability insurance required by clause (y) above
shall not exceed $25,000; otherwise there shall be no deductible with respect to
any insurance required to be maintained hereunder. The amount of commercial
general liability insurance (other than products liability coverage and
completed operations insurance) required by clause (y) above shall be at least
$5,000,000 per occurrence. The amount of the products liability and completed
operations insurance required by clause (y) above shall be at least $5,000,000
per occurrence. Each "all risk" policy shall: (x) name Lender as loss payee, (y)
provide for each insurer's waiver of its right of subrogation against Lender,
and (z) provide that such insurance (A) shall not be invalidated by any action
of, or breach of warranty by, Borrower of a provision of any of its insurance
policies, and (B) shall waive set-off, counterclaim or offset against Lender.
Each liability policy shall (w) name Lender as an additional insured in the full
amount of Borrower's liability coverage limits (or the coverage limits of any
successor to Borrower or such successor's parent which is providing coverage)
and (x) provide that such insurance shall have cross-liability and severability
of interest endorsements (which shall not increase the aggregate policy limits
of Borrower's insurance). All insurance policies shall (y) provide that
Borrower's insurance shall be primary without a right of contribution of
Lender's insurance, if any, or any obligation on the part of Lender to pay
premiums of Borrower, and (z) shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to
give Lender at least 30 days' prior written notice of its cancellation (other
than cancellation for non-payment for which 10 days' notice shall be
sufficient). Borrower shall on or prior to the first Funding Date and prior to
each policy renewal, furnish to Lender certificates of insurance or other
evidence satisfactory to Lender that such insurance coverage is in effect.

Borrower shall not:

               (a) Name; Location of Chief Executive Office and Collateral.
Without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, change its chief
executive office or principal place of business or remove or cause to be removed

accounts holding securities owned by Borrower except (i) accounts located at
Silicon Valley Bank and (ii) other accounts with respect to which Lender takes

at a place to be designated by Lender or to take immediate possession of the
Collateral, or any portion thereof, and for that purpose may pursue the same
wherever it may be found, and may enter any of premises of Borrower, with or
without notice, demand, process of law or legal procedure, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep
and store the same, or use and operate or lease the same until sold. In
furtherance of Lender's rights hereunder, Borrower hereby grants to Lender an
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without royalty or other payment
by Lender) to use, license or sublicense any patent, trademark, trade name,
copyright or other intellectual property in which Borrower now or hereafter has
any right, title or interest together with the right of access to all media in
which any of the foregoing may be recorded or stored; provided, however, that
such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of
Collateral upon Lender's exercise of its remedies hereunder.

               (b) Lender may, if at the time such action may be lawful and
always subject to compliance with any mandatory legal requirements, either with
or without taking possession and either before or after taking possession,
without instituting any legal proceedings whatsoever, having first given notice
of such sale by registered or certified mail to Borrower once at least ten (10)
days prior to the date of such sale, and having first given any other notice
which may be required by law, sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at a private sale or at public auction, to the highest bidder, in one
lot as an entirety or in separate lots, and either for cash or on credit and on
such terms as Lender may determine, and at any place (whether or not it be the
location of the Collateral or any part thereof) designated in the notice
referred to above. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such sale or
sales may be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
appointed for such sale or sales, or for any such adjourned sale or sales,
without further published notice, and Borrower, Lender or the holder or holders
of the Note, or of any interest therein, may bid and become the purchaser at any
such sale.

               (c) Lender may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement and
the other Operative Documents by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law
or in bankruptcy, and whether for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement herein contained or in execution or aid of any power herein granted;
or for foreclosure hereunder, or for the appointment of a receiver or receivers
for any real property security or any part thereof, or for the recovery of
judgment for the Obligations or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal
or equitable remedy available under applicable law.

        9.04. Waiver by Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to
the extent permitted by law, Borrower covenants that it will not at any time
insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force,
nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now
or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the
Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made
pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order
of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or
exercise any right under any statute now or



                                      -18-

hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so
sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally permitted, except as
to rights expressly provided herein, hereby expressly waives for itself and on
behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of
Borrower, acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part
thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of
any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such
law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted and delegated to Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or
enacted.

        9.05. Effect of Sale. Any sale, whether under any power of sale
available to Lender or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to
divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or
in equity, of Borrower in and to the property sold, and shall be a perpetual
bar, both at law and in equity, against Borrower, its successors and assigns,
and against any and all persons claiming the property sold or any part thereof
under, by or through Borrower, its successors or assigns.

        9.06. Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of
the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any
remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Lender at the
time of, or received by Lender after, the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:

               (a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses,
including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of
foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other
rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances,
including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or made
hereunder by Lender;

               (b) Second, to the payment to Lender of the amount then owing or
unpaid on the Note, and in case such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in
full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Note, then first, to the
unpaid interest thereon, second, to unpaid principal thereof and third to the
remaining balance of the Obligations under the Note; such application to be made
upon presentation of the Note, and the notation thereon of the payment, if
partially paid, or the surrender and cancellation thereof, if fully paid;

               (c) Third, to the payment of other amounts then payable to Lender
under any of the Operative Documents; and

               (d) Fourth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrower,
its successors and assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
the same.

        9.07. Reinstatement of Rights. If Lender shall have proceeded to enforce
any right under this Agreement or any other Operative Document by foreclosure,
sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in
every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction),
Lender shall be restored to its former position and rights hereunder with
respect to the property subject to the security interest created under this
Agreement.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        10.01. Modifications, Amendments or Waivers. The provisions of any
Operative Document may be modified, amended or waived only by a written
instrument signed by the parties thereto.

        10.02. No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required. No
delay or failure of Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other
right, power or remedy. The rights and remedies hereunder of Lender are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise
have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the
part of Lender of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver
of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be
effective only in the specified instance and to the extent specifically set
forth in such writing.

        10.03. Expenses; Indemnification. Borrower agrees upon demand to pay or
reimburse Lender for all liabilities, obligations and out-of-pocket expenses,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Lender, from time to time
arising in connection with the enforcement or collection of sums due under the
Operative Documents. Borrower shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Lender, each
of Lender's partners, and each of their respective successors, assigns, agents,
officers, directors, shareholders, servants, agents and employees harmless from
and against all liabilities, losses, damages, actions, suits, demands, claims of
any kind and nature (including claims relating to environmental discharge,
cleanup or compliance), all costs and expenses whatsoever to the extent they may
be incurred or suffered by such indemnified party in connection therewith
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), fines, penalties (and other
charges of applicable governmental authorities), licensing fees relating to any
item of Collateral, damage to or loss of use of property (including
consequential or special damages to third parties or damages to Borrower's
property), or bodily injury to or death of any person (including any agent or
employee of Borrower) (each, a "Claim"), directly or indirectly relating to or
arising out of the use of the proceeds of the Loan or otherwise, the falsity of
any representation or warranty of Borrower or Borrower's failure to comply with
the terms of this Agreement or any other Operative Document during the Term. The
foregoing indemnity shall cover, without limitation, (i) any Claim in connection
with a design or other defect (latent or patent) in any item of equipment
included in the Collateral, (ii) any Claim for infringement of any patent,
copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right, (iii) any Claim
resulting from the presence on or under or the escape, seepage, leakage,
spillage, discharge, emission or release of any Hazardous Materials on the
premises of Borrower, including any Claims asserted or arising under any
Environmental Law, or (iv) any Claim for negligence or strict or absolute
liability in tort; provided, however, that Borrower shall not indemnify Lender
for any liability incurred by Lender as a direct and sole result of Lender's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such indemnities shall continue in full
force and effect, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this
Agreement. Upon Lender's written demand, Borrower shall assume and diligently
conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the entire defense of Lender, each of its
partners, and each of their respective, agents, employees, directors, officers,
shareholders, successors and assigns against any indemnified Claim described in
this Section 10.03. Borrower shall not settle or compromise any Claim against or
involving Lender without first obtaining Lender's written consent thereto, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

        10.04. Waivers. (a) Borrower shall give Lender written notice within one
hundred eighty (180) days of obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any claim
or cause of action it believes it has, or may seek to assert to allege against
Lender whether such claim is based in law or equity, arising under or related to
this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents or to the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or any act or omission to act by Lender with
respect hereto or thereto, and that if it shall fail to give such notice to
Lender with regard to any such claim or cause of action, Borrower shall be
deemed to have waived, and shall be forever barred from bringing or asserting
such claim or cause of action in any suit, action or proceeding in any court or
before any governmental agency or authority or any arbitrator. (b)
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE
ELSE, BORROWER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM LENDER UNDER ANY THEORY OF
LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

        10.05. Notices; Payments.

        10.06. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at the end of the
Term; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not affect
any of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, it being understood and
agreed that all such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect
until payment of all amounts owed to Lender under or in connection with the
Operative Documents, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or
otherwise.

        10.07. Severability. If any provision of any Operative Document is held
invalid or unenforceable to any extent or in any application, the remainder of
such Operative Document and all other Operative Documents, or the application of
such provision to different Persons or circumstances or in different
jurisdictions, shall not be affected thereby.

        10.08. Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of Borrower contained herein or made in writing in connection
herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of the Operative Documents,
the making of the Loan hereunder, the granting of security and the issuance of

        10.09. Governing Law. This Agreement, the other Operative Documents and
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed
by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of

Collateral is located.

        10.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Operative
Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender, all future
holders of the Note, Borrower and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder or
any interest herein without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may sell
to any other financial entity (a "Participant") participation interests in
Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents; provided
that notwithstanding the sale of participations, Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Lender
shall remain the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Agreement and
Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender may disclose the
Operative Documents and any other financial or other information relating to
Borrower or any Subsidiary to any potential Participant, provided that such
Participant agrees to protect the confidentiality of such documents and
information using the same measures that it uses to protect its own confidential
information.

        10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

        10.12. Further Assurances. Borrower will, at its own expense, from time
to time do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all further acts, deeds,
conveyances, transfers and assurances, and all financing and continuation
statements and similar notices, reasonably necessary or proper for the
perfection of the security interest being herein provided for in the Collateral,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

        10.13. Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Borrower does
hereby irrevocably appoint Lender (which appointment is coupled with an
interest), the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower



                                      -22-
<PAGE>   23

with full power of substitution, for it and in its name (a) to perform (but
Lender shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Borrower or any
third party for failure to perform) any act which Borrower is obligated by this
Agreement to perform, (b) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue
for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits,
avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security
interest is granted under Section 5.01 with full power to settle, adjust or
compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Lender were Borrower itself, (c)
to receive payment of and to endorse the name of Borrower to any items of
Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the payment of money)
that come into Lender's possession or under Lender's control, (d) to make all
demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the
Collateral, (e) in Lender's discretion, to file any claim or take any other
action or institute proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of
Borrower or otherwise, which Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate
to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the
Collateral, and (f) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Lender were
the outright owner of the Collateral; provided, however, that the power of
attorney herein granted shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default unless in Lender's reasonable opinion
immediate action is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral. Borrower
agrees to reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and expenses, which Lender may incur while acting as
Borrower's attorney in fact hereunder, all of which costs and expenses are
included within the Obligations.

        10.14 Confidentiality. All information (other than periodic reports
filed by Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission) disclosed by
Borrower to Lender in writing or through inspection pursuant to this Agreement
shall be considered confidential. Lender agrees to use the same degree of care
to safeguard and prevent disclosure of such confidential information as Lender
uses with its own confidential information, but in any event no less than a
reasonable degree of care. Lender shall not disclose such information to any
third party (other than Lender's or Lender's partner's attorneys and auditors
subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein) and shall use
such information only for purposes of evaluation of its investment in Borrower
and the exercise of Lender's rights and the enforcement of its remedies under
this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements. The obligations of
confidentiality shall not apply to any information that (a) was known to the
public prior to disclosure by Borrower under this Agreement, (b) becomes known
to the public through no fault of Lender, (c) is disclosed to Lender by a third
party' having a legal right to make such disclosure, or (d) is independently
developed by Lender.

                                  May 20, 1999
MMC/GATX Partnership No. I
c/o GATX Capital Corporation, Agent
Four Embarcadero Center
Suite 2200
San Francisco, California 94111

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have acted as counsel for PACKETEER INC. (the "Borrower") in
connection with (i) the execution of the Loan and Security Agreement of even
date herewith (the "Loan") between Borrower and MMC/GATX Partnership No. I
("Lender"), (ii) the issuance of a warrant to purchase 45,000 shares of
Borrower's Series D Preferred Stock (the "Warrant") and (iii) the transactions
contemplated thereby. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section
8.01 of the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
opinion have the meaning given them in the Loan Agreement.

        In connection with this opinion and our representation, we have examined
originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of
the following:

        (i) The Loan Agreement;

        (ii) The Warrant and exhibits thereto dated as of May 20, 1999, issued
by Borrower to Lender;

        (iii) The Note dated as of May 20, 1999;

        (iv) The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of
Borrower, each as in effect on the date hereof;

        (v) The certificate of an officer of Borrower as to certain factual
matters ("Officer Certificate");

        (vi) Certificates issued by the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware dated _______________________, 1999, and the Secretary of State of the
State of California, dated _________________________, 199_____, certifying the
good standing of Borrower;

        (vi) Such other documents, records, and certificates as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereafter expressed.

        The Loan Agreement, the Note and the Warrant are hereinafter referred to
as the "Transaction Documents."



                                      -34-
<PAGE>   35

        In such examinations we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified,
facsimile, telecopied or photostatic copies thereof. As to certain matters of
fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the Officer Certificate and
upon your representations in the Transaction Documents.

        As used in this opinion, the expression "to the best of our knowledge,"
means the actual present knowledge or belief of those attorneys in our firm who
have or who are currently representing Borrower. We have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or nonexistence of other
facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of
other facts should be drawn from the fact of this firm's representation of
Borrower in connection with the Transaction Documents.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the
qualifications contained herein, we are of the opinion that:

         (a) Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly qualified to
do business and in good standing in the State of California.

        (b) Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform the Transaction Documents and to issue the Warrant. All
action on the part of Borrower, its directors and its shareholders necessary for
the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents, has been taken. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered by an authorized officer of Borrower.

        (c) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents
do not conflict with or violate any provision of Borrower's Restated
[Certificate] [Articles] of Incorporation or Bylaws or of applicable law and, to
the best of our knowledge, do not conflict with or constitute a default under
any provision of any judgment, writ, decree, order or material agreement,
indenture, or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound.

        (d) The Transaction Documents constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
To our knowledge, no filing need be made with any governmental authority with
respect to the Transaction Documents in connection with an exemption from state
usury laws or in connection with any other matter.

        (e) The Series D Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such exercise, and when
issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

        (f) The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D
Preferred Stock into which the Warrant is convertible, have been duly authorized
and reserved and for issuance, when so issued in accordance with the terms of
Borrower's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.

         The opinions set forth above are subject to the following additional
qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions:



                                      -35-
<PAGE>   36

        (A) The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the
rights and remedies of creditors generally.

        (B) Limitations imposed by general equitable principles upon the
specific enforceability of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents
and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

        (C) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any choice of law
provision in the documents.

        (D) We express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance with
applicable antifraud statutes under the rules and regulations of state and
federal securities laws concerning the issuance of the Warrant.

        (E) We express no opinion herein concerning any law other than the law
of the State of California, the general corporate law of the State of Delaware
and the federal laws of the United States of America.

        This opinion is furnished to you solely for your benefit and may not be
relied upon by any other person (other than assignees of any of your rights)
without our prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                 PACKETEER INC.

                        WARRANT TO PURCHASE 45,000 SHARES
                           OF SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK

      THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, MEIER MITCHELL & COMPANY and its
assignees are entitled to subscribe for and purchase 45,000 shares of the fully
paid and nonassessable Series D Preferred Stock (as adjusted pursuant to Section
4 hereof, the "Shares") of PACKETEER INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), at the price of $6.25 per share (such price and such other price as
shall result, from time to time, from the adjustments specified in Section 4
hereof is herein referred to as the "Warrant Price"), subject to the provisions
and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, (a) the
term "Series Preferred" shall mean the Company's presently authorized Series D
Preferred Stock, and any stock into or for which such Series D Preferred Stock
may hereafter be converted or exchanged, and after the automatic conversion of
the Series D Preferred Stock to Common Stock shall mean the Company's Common
Stock, (b) the term "Date of Grant" shall mean May 20, 1999, and (c) the term
"Other Warrants" shall mean any other warrants issued by the Company in
connection with the transaction with respect to which this Warrant was issued,
and any warrant issued upon transfer or partial exercise of or in lieu of this
Warrant. The term "Warrant" as used herein shall be deemed to include Other
Warrants unless the context clearly requires otherwise.


      1. Term. The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in
whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from the Date of Grant
through the later of (i) ten (10) years after the Date of Grant or (ii) five (5)
years after the closing of the Company's initial public offering of its Common
Stock ("IPO") effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or its
successor) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").


      2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to
Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be
exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, at
the election of the holder hereof, by (a) the surrender of this Warrant (with
the notice of exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1
duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the
payment to the Company, by certified or bank check, or by wire transfer to an
account designated by the Company (a "Wire


<PAGE>   40

Transfer") of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by
the number of Shares then being purchased; (b) if in connection with a
registered public offering of the Company's securities, the surrender of this
Warrant (with the notice of exercise form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 duly
completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company together with
notice of arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company for payment to the
Company either by certified or bank check or by Wire Transfer from the proceeds
of the sale of shares to be sold by the holder in such public offering of an
amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the
number of Shares then being purchased; or (c) exercise of the "net issuance"
right provided for in Section 10.2 hereof. The person or persons in whose
name(s) any certificate(s) representing shares of Series Preferred shall be
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the
holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to
have been issued) immediately prior to the close of business on the date or
dates upon which this Warrant is exercised. In the event of any exercise of the
rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so
purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any
event within thirty (30) days after such exercise and, unless this Warrant has
been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the
Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in
any event within such thirty-day period; provided, however, at such time as the
Company is subject to the reporting requirments of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, if requested by the holder of this Warrant, the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to deliver the certificate representing Shares
issued upon exercise of this Warrant to a broker or other person (as directed by
the holder exercising this Warrant) within the time period required to settle
any trade made by the holder after exercise of this Warrant.


      3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. All Shares that may be issued
upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance
pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable,
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the
purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this
Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Series Preferred to provide for
the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and a sufficient number
of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Series
Preferred into Common Stock.


      4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind
of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events, as follows:


               (a) Reclassification or Merger. In case of any reclassification
or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in
case of any merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a



                                      -2-
<PAGE>   41
merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in
case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall
duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form
and substance satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant), or the Company shall
make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the
holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase
price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of
this Warrant, and in lieu of the shares of Series Preferred theretofore issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant, (i) the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Series Preferred then
purchasable under this Warrant, or (ii) in the case of such a merger or sale in
which the consideration paid consists all or in part of assets other than
securities of the successor or purchasing corporation, at the option of the
Holder of this Warrant, the securities of the successor or purchasing
corporation having a value at the time of the transaction equivalent to the
valuation of the Series Preferred at the time of the transaction. Any new
Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may
be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4. The provisions
of this subparagraph (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
changes, mergers and transfers.


               (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any
time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or
combine its outstanding shares of Series Preferred, the Warrant Price shall be
proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be
proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision and the Warrant Price
shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder
shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.


               (c) Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company at
any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a
dividend with respect to Series Preferred payable in Series Preferred, then the
Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Series Preferred outstanding immediately prior to such
dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Series Preferred outstanding immediately after such dividend
or distribution; or (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Series
Preferred (except any distribution specifically provided for in Sections 4(a)
and 4(b)), then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such
that the holder of this Warrant shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a
proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though it were the
holder of the Series Preferred (or Common Stock issuable upon conversion
thereof) as of the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders
of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   42
               (d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the
Warrant Price, the number of Shares of Series Preferred purchasable hereunder
shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by
multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such
adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of
which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.


               (e) Antidilution Rights. The other antidilution rights applicable
to the Shares of Series Preferred purchasable hereunder are set forth in the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the Date of Grant, a
true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Charter").
Such antidilution rights shall not be restated, amended, modified or waived in
any manner that is adverse to the holder hereof without such holder's prior
written consent. The Company shall promptly provide the holder hereof with any
restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter promptly after the
same has been made.


      5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of
Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the
Company shall make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of
the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the
Warrant Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect
to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed
(without regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to
the holder of this Warrant. In addition, whenever the conversion price or
conversion ratio of the Series Preferred shall be adjusted, the Company shall
make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the
conversion price or ratio of the Series Preferred after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (without
regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the holder
of this Warrant.


      6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Series Preferred will be
issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional
shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market
value of the Series Preferred on the date of exercise as reasonably determined
in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.


      7. Compliance with Act; Disposition of Warrant or Shares of Series
Preferred.


               (a) Compliance with Act. The holder of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the shares of Series Preferred
to be issued upon exercise hereof and any Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer,
sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any shares of Series Preferred to
be issued upon exercise hereof or any Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the
Act or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant,
unless the Shares being acquired are registered under the Act and any



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   43
applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is
available, the holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the shares of Series
Preferred so purchased (and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof) are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward
distribution or resale in violation of the Act and shall confirm such other
matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company. This
Warrant and all shares of Series Preferred issued upon exercise of this Warrant
and all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof (unless registered
under the Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:



"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION
MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO,
(ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION
LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE
COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE
SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY."



      Said legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the request of a holder,
which shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if requested by the
Company, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable
security shall have terminated. In addition, in connection with the issuance of
this Warrant, the holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of
this Warrant as follows:


                      (1) The holder is aware of the Company's business affairs
and financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company
sufficient to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this
Warrant. The holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof in violation of the Act.


                      (2) The holder understands that this Warrant has not been
registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the holder's
investment intent as expressed herein.


                      (3) The holder further understands that this Warrant must
be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified
under any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from
registration and qualification are otherwise available. The holder is aware of
the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act.



                                      -5-
<PAGE>   44


                      (4) The holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.


               (b) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer,
sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any shares of Series Preferred
acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such
Warrant or shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the
Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a
written opinion of such holder's counsel, or other evidence, if reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other
disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act
as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this
Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock and indicating
whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or such shares of
Series Preferred to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive
legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure
compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably
satisfactory opinion or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable
but no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written notice, shall
notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this
Warrant or such shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock, all in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has
been made pursuant to this Section 7(b) that the opinion of counsel for the
holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the
Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such
determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant or such
shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock may, as to such federal laws, be
offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 or 144A under
the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such
information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable
assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A have been satisfied. Each
certificate representing this Warrant or the shares of Series Preferred thus
transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A) shall bear a legend
as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure
compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the
holder, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such
laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in
connection with such restrictions.


               (c) Applicability of Restrictions. Neither any restrictions of
any legend described in this Warrant nor the requirements of Section 7(b) above
shall apply to any transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, this Warrant
(or the Series Preferred or Common Stock obtainable upon exercise thereof) or
any part hereof (i) to a partner of the holder if the holder is a partnership or
to a member of the holder if the holder is a limited liability company, (ii) to
a partnership of which the holder is a partner or to a limited liability company
of which the holder is a member, or (iii) to any affiliate of the holder if the
holder is a corporation; provided, however, in any such transfer, if applicable,
the transferee shall on the Company's request agree in writing to be bound by
the terms of this Warrant as if an original holder hereof.

      8. Rights as Shareholders; Information. No holder of this Warrant, as
such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of
Series Preferred or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be
issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained
herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of
the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election
of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting
thereof, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or
subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised
and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become
deliverable, as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will
transmit to the holder of this Warrant such information, documents and reports
as are generally distributed to the holders of any class or series of the
securities of the Company concurrently with the distribution thereof to the
shareholders.

      9. [Reserved]

      10. Additional Rights.

      10.1 Acquisition Transactions. The Company shall provide the holder of
this Warrant with at least twenty (20) days' written notice prior to closing
thereof of the terms and conditions of any of the following transactions (to the
extent the Company has notice thereof): (i) the sale, lease, exchange,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's
property or business, or (ii) its merger into or consolidation with any other
corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), or any
transaction (including a merger or other reorganization) or series of related
transactions, in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is
disposed of.

      10.2 Right to Convert Warrant into Stock: Net Issuance.

               (a) Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the
rights of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, the holder shall have the
right to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the "Conversion Right")
into shares of Series Preferred (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has
been automatically converted into Common Stock) as provided in this Section 10.2
at any time or from time to time during the term of this Warrant. Upon exercise
of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of shares subject to
this Warrant (the "Converted Warrant Shares"), the Company shall deliver to the
holder (without payment by the holder of any exercise price or any cash or other
consideration) that number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Series
Preferred (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has been automatically
converted into Common Stock) as is determined according to the following
formula:



                                      -7-
<PAGE>   46
      X =  B-A
           ---
            Y

      Where:   X  =     the number of shares of Series Preferred (or Common
                        Stock if the Series Preferred has been automatically
                        converted to Common Stock) that shall  be issued to
                        holder

               Y  =     the fair market value of one share of Series Preferred
                        (or Common Stock if the Series Preferred has been
                        automatically converted to Common Stock)

               A  =     the aggregate Warrant Price of the specified number of
                        Converted Warrant Shares immediately prior to the
                        exercise of the Conversion Right (i.e., the number of
                        Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the Warrant
                        Price)

               B  =     the aggregate fair market value of the specified
                        number of Converted Warrant Shares (i.e., the number of
                        Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the fair market
                        value of one Converted Warrant Share)

      No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion
Right, and, if the number of shares to be issued determined in accordance with
the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the
holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting
fractional share on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined). For purposes
of Section 9 of this Warrant, shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Right
shall be treated as if they were issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.

               (b) Method of Exercise. The Conversion Right may be exercised by
the holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the
Company together with a written statement (which may be in the form of Exhibit
A-1 or Exhibit A-2 hereto) specifying that the holder thereby intends to
exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of shares subject to
this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in Section 10.2(a) hereof
as the Converted Warrant Shares) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such
conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant
together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is
specified therein (the "Conversion Date"), and, at the election of the holder
hereof, may be made contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company's
Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement under the Act (a "Public Offering"). Certificates for the shares
issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant
evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be
issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the holder within
thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date.

               (c) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this
Section 10.2, "fair market value" of a share of Series Preferred (or Common
Stock if the Series Preferred has been automatically converted into Common
Stock) as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:

                      (i) If the Conversion Right is exercised in connection
with and contingent upon a Public Offering, and if the Company's Registration
Statement relating to such Public Offering ("Registration Statement") has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial
"Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with respect to such
offering.

                      (ii) If the Conversion Right is not exercised in
connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:

               (A) If traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of
the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the
Common Stock on such exchange over the 30-day period ending five business days
prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Series
Preferred shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Series Preferred is then convertible;

               (B) If traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other
over-the-counter system, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock over the
30-day period ending five business days prior to the Determination Date, and the
fair market value of the Series Preferred shall be deemed to be such fair market
value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
into which each share of Series Preferred is then convertible; and

               (C) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair
market value shall be determined by by the Board of Directors of the Company.

      10.3 Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not
previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject hereto, and if the fair
market value of one share of the Series Preferred is greater than the Warrant
Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised
pursuant to Section 10.2 above (even if not surrendered) immediately before its
expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of
one share of the Series Preferred upon such expiration shall be determined
pursuant to Section 10.2(c). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof
is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Company
agrees to promptly notify the holder hereof of the number of Shares, if any, the
holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

      11. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to
the holder of this Warrant as follows:

                             SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT


      This Subordination Agreement is made as of this 20th day of May, 1999, by
and between Comdisco, Inc. ("Senior Creditor"), a Delaware corporation having
its principal place of business at 6111 North River Road, Rosemont, IL 60018,
and MMC/GATX Partnership No. I, a California general partnership, having its
principal place of business at Four Embarcadero Center, Suite 2200, San
Francisco, California 94111 ("Creditor").

                                    RECITALS

      A. Packeteer, Inc. ("Borrower") has requested and/or obtained certain
loans or other credit accommodations from Senior Creditor to Borrower which are
or may be from time to time secured by assets and property of Borrower.

      B. Creditor has extended a loan in the aggregate original principal amount
of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) as
evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note (as the same may from time to time be
amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the
"Subordinated Note") made by Borrower in favor of Creditor. The Borrower's
obligations to Creditor evidenced by the Subordinated Note are secured by the
personal property collateral granted by the Borrower to Creditor pursuant to a
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 20, 1999 (as the same may from time
to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the "Subordinated
Security Agreement").

      C. In order to induce Senior Creditor to extend credit to Borrower and, at
any time or from time to time, at Senior Creditor's option, to make such further
loans, extensions of credit, or other accommodations to or for the account of
Borrower, or to purchase or extend credit upon any instrument or writing in
respect of which Borrower may be liable in any capacity, or to grant such
renewals or extension of any such loan, extension of credit, purchase, or other
accommodation as Senior Creditor may deem advisable, Creditor is willing to
subordinate: (i) all of Borrower's indebtedness and obligations to Creditor,
whether presently existing or arising in the future under or relating to the
Subordinated Security Agreement and Subordinated Note (collectively, the
"Subordinated Debt") to Borrower's indebtedness and obligations to Senior
Creditor up to $2,500,000.00 plus the cost of collecting such obligations
(including attorneys' fees), including, without limitations, all interest
accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower of an bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding; and (ii) all of Creditor's security
interests, if any, to all of Senior Creditor's security interests in the
Borrower's property up to $2,500,000.00 plus cost of collecting such obligations
(including attorneys' fees), including, without limitations, all interest
accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower of an bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this definition of "Subordinated Debt", there shall be expressly
excluded from such definition (1) the warrant executed by Borrower in favor of
the Creditor pursuant to which Borrower granted Creditor the right to purchase
shares of its Preferred Stock ("Warrant Agreement"); and (2) all amounts due or
to become due relating to the Warrant Agreement, including, without limitation,
all interest and all fees, expenses and costs (including attorneys' fees),
including costs of enforcement, amounts reimbursable and other liabilities
(including interest, fees, professional fees and costs which would become due
but for the operation of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the "Excluded
Agreements").

      D. Senior Creditor is a party to a Subordination Agreement, dated as of
January 21, 1999, entered into with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Comdisco/SVB
Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which Senior Creditor has subordinated to
Silicon Valley Bank its liens and rights under its subordinated note and its
subordinated loan and security agreement with Borrower to the liens and rights
of Silicon Valley Bank (the "SVB Debt"). Creditor is a party to a Subordination
Agreement, dated as of May 20, 1999, entered into with Silicon Valley Bank (the
"MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which Creditor has subordinated
to Silicon Valley Bank its liens and rights under the Subordinated Debt to the
SVB Debt.


      NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:




                                      -1-
<PAGE>   55
      1. Creditor subordinates to Senior Creditor any security interest or lien,
subject to the limit set forth herein, that Creditor may have in any property of
Borrower, other than with respect to the Excluded Agreements. Notwithstanding
the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of
Creditor and the security interest of Senior Creditor, the security interest of
Senior Creditor in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of [January 21, 1999], between Borrower and Senior Creditor
(the "Loan Agreement"), shall at all times be prior to the security interest of
Creditor.

      2. On the terms and conditions set forth below, all Subordinated Debt is
subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of Borrower to Senior
Creditor now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs of
collecting such obligations (including attorneys' fees), including, without
limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement by or against Borrower
of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations
under the Loan Agreement not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($2,500,000.00) (the "Senior Debt") provided, that Senior Debt shall not include
obligations pursuant to agreements other than the Subordinated Loan and Security
Agreement dated January 21, 1999 between Borrower and the Senior Creditor
incurred after default or workout acceleration of debt or the commencement of
any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, receivership, or reorganization case
by or against Borrower.

      Nothing herein shall be deemed to subordinate, waive or restrict the
payment or performance of the obligations arising under the Excluded Agreements
or subordinate the priority of any lien or interest in property securing or
evidenced by the Excluded Agreements, provided, however, such exclusion shall be
limited to the property securing such Excluded Agreements.

      3. Subject to and except as set forth in Section 4 below, Creditor will
not demand or receive from Borrower (and Borrower will not pay to Creditor) all
or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff,
lawsuit or otherwise, nor will Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the
Collateral, nor will Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or
participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against Borrower,
for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding.

      4. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2
and 3 above, but expressly subject to (b) below, Borrower shall be permitted to
make, and Creditor shall be permitted to accept or receive the following
permitted payments ("Permitted Payments"): (i) scheduled repayments of principal
when due under the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Security Agreement, (ii)
scheduled payments of accrued interest when due under the Subordinated Note and
Subordinated Security Agreement, (iii) payments of reimbursable expenses, costs
and professional fees and expenses as and when due under the Subordinated Note
and the Subordinated Security Agreement, (iv) cancellation of Subordinated Debt
in consideration of the exercise price for stock purchased by Creditor under the
Warrant Agreement, and (v) other payments consented to in writing by the Senior
Creditor.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if the Senior Creditor delivers to
Creditor written notice (a "Blockage Notice") which states that either:

                  (i) a specific default by Borrower involving the payment of
      the Senior Debt (a "Payment Default") has occurred under the Loan
      Agreement and continues to exist after the giving of any required notice
      and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, or

                  (ii) a specific default by Borrower not involving the payment
      of Senior Debt (a "Non-Payment Default") has occurred under the Loan
      Agreement and continues to exist after the giving of any required notice
      and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, such notice to
      include all such defaults in existence at the time, and



                                      -2-
<PAGE>   56
                  (iii) Senior Creditor has received a blockage notice from
      Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") under the terms of a subordination agreement
      dated January 21, 1999 between Senior Creditor and SVB.

then from and after the date of delivery of any such Blockage Notice, (i)
Creditor shall not accept or receive any payment of any kind of or on account of
the Subordinated Debt (including any Permitted Payment), unless and until the
earlier of (A) the time such Payment Default or Non-Payment Default shall have
been cured by Borrower or waived in writing by Senior Creditor, or (B) the
expiration of the Blockage Period (as defined below) for such Blockage Notice,
and (ii) Creditor shall disgorge any Permitted Payments received, for a period
not to exceed two (2) months during the time commencing upon the occurrence of a
Payment Default or Non-Payment Default until the date of receipt by Creditor of
such Blockage Notice, provided, that while the SVB Debt is outstanding or
Creditor remains bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement, such
disgorgement shall be made to SVB pursuant to the terms of the MMC/SVB
Subordination Agreement.

      As used herein, "Blockage Period" means a period of time beginning on the
date a Blockage Notice is delivered to Creditor and termination on the earlier
to occur of:

            (1) 180 days following such date; provided that if, prior to the
      expiration of such 180-day period, Senior Creditor has commenced a
      judicial proceeding or non-judicial actions to collect or enforce the
      Senior Debt or the collateral for the Senior Debt, or a case or proceeding
      by or against Borrower is commenced under the federal Bankruptcy Code or
      any other insolvency law, then such period shall be extended during the
      continuation of such proceedings and actions under the payment in cash or
      other property or securities in the full amount of the allowed claim of
      the Senior Debt; or

            (2) Senior Creditor's written consent to such termination.

      With respect to Non-Payment Defaults, in no event shall the Blockage
Period during any period of 365 consecutive days exceed 180 days in the
aggregate, whether pursuant to one (1) Blockage Notice or multiple Blockage
Notices; provided, however, the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the
event that prior to the expiration of such 180 day period Senior Creditor has
commenced a judicial proceeding or non-judicial actions to collect or enforce
the Senior Debt or a case of proceeding by or against Borrower is commenced
under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law, then such period
shall be extended during the continuation of such proceedings and actions until
the payment in cash or other property or securities in the full amount of the
allowed claim of the Senior Debt. After the satisfaction of the applicable
conditions specified in (1) or (2) above, Creditor shall be entitled to receive
all Permitted Payments until Creditor's receipt of a subsequent Blockage Notice
from Senior Creditor.

      5. Creditor shall promptly deliver to Senior Creditor in the form received
(except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by Senior
Creditor) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security
or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other
than in accordance with this Agreement provided, that while the SVB Debt is
outstanding or Creditor remains bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination
Agreement, such delivery shall be made to SVB pursuant to the terms of the
MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement.

      6. In the event of Borrower's insolvency, reorganization or any case or
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief
of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Senior
Creditor's claims against Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be paid in
full before any payment is made to Creditor.

      7. For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, Creditor
irrevocably appoints Senior Creditor as Creditor's attorney-in-fact, and grants
to Senior Creditor a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the
name of Creditor or in the name of Senior Creditor, for the use and benefit of
Senior Creditor, without notice to Creditor, in any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar proceeding involving Borrower to (i) file the appropriate claim or
claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if (a) Creditor
does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims
in



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   57
such proceeding, and (b) if Senior Creditor elects, in its sole discretion, to
file such claim or claims and (ii) accept or reject any plan or reorganization
or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor's claims in
respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Senior Creditor deems
appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder if Creditor does not
accept, reject or otherwise vote its claims within fifteen (15) days of receipt
of written notice from Senior Creditor of its intent to do so on behalf of
Creditor, provided, that while the SVB Debt is outstanding or Creditor remains
bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement, the rights granted to
Senior Creditor may only be exercised with the prior written consent of SVB.

      8. Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing
the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of
this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the
Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this
Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the
Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that
Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. By way of example, such
instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with
respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the
principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt.

      9. This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Borrower owes any
amounts to Senior Creditor under the Loan Agreement or otherwise in an amount
not to exceed the Senior Debt. If, at any time after payment in full of the
Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Senior Creditor
for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower), this
Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be
reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not
been made and Creditor shall immediately pay over to Senior Creditor all
payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such
payments would have been prohibited hereunder, provided, that while the SVB Debt
is outstanding or Creditor remains bound by the terms of the MMC/SVB
Subordination Agreement, such payments shall be paid over to SVB pursuant to the
terms of the MMC/SVB Subordination Agreement. At any time and from time to time,
without notice to Creditor, Senior Creditor may take such actions with respect
to the Senior Debt as Senior Creditor, in its sole discretion, may deem
appropriate, including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower,
increasing the principal amount in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000.00,
extending the time of payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing,
compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the
Senior Debt and any collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or
failing to enforce any rights against Borrower or any other person. Creditor
waives the benefits, if any, of any statutory or common law rule that may permit
a subordinating creditor to assert any defenses of a surety or guarantor, or
that may give the subordinating creditor the right to require a senior creditor
to marshal assets, and Creditor agrees that it shall not assert any such
defenses or rights.

      10. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and
shall benefit any successors or assigns of Senior Creditor. This Agreement is
solely for the benefit of Creditor and Senior Creditor and not for the benefit
of Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agrees that if Borrower is in
the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and
if Senior Creditor makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter
into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      11. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. This Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been
executed by Creditor and Senior Creditor (provided, however, in no event shall
this Agreement become effective until signed by an officer of Senior Creditor in
California).

      12. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California without giving effect to conflicts of law
principles. Creditor and Senior Creditor submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
CREDITOR AND SENIOR CREDITOR WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   58
      13. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and
commitments. Creditor is not relying on any representations by Senior Creditor
or Borrower in entering into this Agreement, and Creditor has kept and will
continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of
Borrower. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by
Creditor and Senior Creditor.

      14. In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party
under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in
addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in such action.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.

obligations to Creditor evidenced by the Subordinated Note are secured by the
personal property collateral granted by the Borrower to Creditor pursuant to a
Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 20, 1999 (as the same may from time
to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the "Subordinated
Security Agreement").

      C. In order to induce Senior Creditor to extend credit to Borrower and, at
any time or from time to time, at Senior Creditor's option, to make such further

<PAGE>   60

      2. On the terms and conditions set forth below, all Subordinated Debt is

pursuant to agreements other than the Loan Agreement incurred after acceleration
of debt or the commencement of any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy,
receivership, or reorganization case by or against Borrower.

      Nothing herein shall be deemed to subordinate, waive or restrict the
payment or performance of the obligations arising under the Excluded Agreements
or subordinate the priority of any lien or interest in property securing or
evidenced by the Excluded Agreements, provided, however, such exclusion shall be
limited to the property securing such Excluded Agreements.

      3. Subject to and except as set forth in Section 4 below, Creditor will
not demand or receive from Borrower (and Borrower will not pay to Creditor) all

Collateral, nor will Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or
participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against Borrower,
for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt remains outstanding.

      4. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2
and 3 above, but expressly subject to (b) below, Borrower shall be permitted to
make, and Creditor shall be permitted to accept or receive the following

Creditor.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if the Senior Creditor delivers to
Creditor written notice (a "Blockage Notice") which states that either:

                  (i) a specific default by Borrower involving the payment of
      the Senior Debt (a "Payment Default") has occurred under the Loan
      Agreement and continues to exist after the giving of any required notice
      and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, or

                  (ii) a specific default by Borrower not involving the payment
      of Senior Debt (a "Non-Payment Default") has occurred under the Loan
      Agreement and continues to exist after the giving of any required notice
      and the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, such notice to
      include all such defaults in existence at the time.

then from and after the date of delivery of any such Blockage Notice, (i)
Creditor shall not accept or receive any payment of any kind of or on account of
the Subordinated Debt (including any Permitted Payment), unless and until the
earlier of (A) the time such Payment Default or Non-Payment Default shall have
been cured by Borrower or waived in writing by Senior Creditor, or (B) the
expiration of the Blockage Period (as defined below) for such Blockage Notice,
and (ii) Creditor shall disgorge any Permitted Payments received, for a period
not to exceed two (2) months during the time commencing upon the occurrence of a
Payment Default or Non-Payment Default until the date of receipt by Creditor of
such Blockage Notice.

      As used herein, "Blockage Period" means a period of time beginning on the
date a Blockage Notice is delivered to Creditor and termination on the earlier
to occur of:




                                      -2-
<PAGE>   61

            (1) 180 days following such date; provided that if, prior to the
      expiration of such 180-day period, Senior Creditor has commenced a
      judicial proceeding or non-judicial actions to collect or enforce the
      Senior Debt or the collateral for the Senior Debt, or a case or proceeding
      by or against Borrower is commenced under the federal Bankruptcy Code or
      any other insolvency law, then such period shall be extended during the
      continuation of such proceedings and actions under the payment in cash or
      other property or securities in the full amount of the allowed claim of
      the Senior Debt; or

            (2) Senior Creditor's written consent to such termination.

      With respect to Non-Payment Defaults, in no event shall the Blockage
Period during any period of 365 consecutive days exceed 180 days in the
aggregate, whether pursuant to one (1) Blockage Notice or multiple Blockage
Notices; provided, however, the foregoing limitation shall not apply in the
event that prior to the expiration of such 180 day period Senior Creditor has
commenced a judicial proceeding or non-judicial actions to collect or enforce
the Senior Debt or a case of proceeding by or against Borrower is commenced
under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency law, then such period
shall be extended during the continuation of such proceedings and actions until
the payment in cash or other property or securities in the full amount of the
allowed claim of the Senior Debt. After the satisfaction of the applicable
conditions specified in (1) or (2) above, Creditor shall be entitled to receive
all Permitted Payments until Creditor's receipt of a subsequent Blockage Notice
from Senior Creditor.

      5. Creditor shall promptly deliver to Senior Creditor in the form received
(except for endorsement or assignment by Creditor where required by Senior
Creditor) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security
or proceeds received by Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other
than in accordance with this Agreement.

      6. In the event of Borrower's insolvency, reorganization or any case or
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief
of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and Senior
Creditor's claims against Borrower and the estate of Borrower shall be paid in
full before any payment is made to Creditor.

      7. For so long as any of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, Creditor
irrevocably appoints Senior Creditor as Creditor's attorney-in-fact, and grants
to Senior Creditor a power of attorney with full power of substitution, in the
name of Creditor or in the name of Senior Creditor, for the use and benefit of
Senior Creditor, without notice to Creditor, in any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar proceeding involving Borrower to (i) file the appropriate claim or
claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of Creditor if (a) Creditor
does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file claims
in such proceeding, and (b) if Senior Creditor elects, in its sole discretion,
to file such claim or claims and (ii) accept or reject any plan or
reorganization or arrangement on behalf of Creditor and to otherwise vote
Creditor's claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Senior
Creditor deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder if
Creditor does not accept, reject or otherwise vote its claims within fifteen
(15) days of receipt of written notice from Senior Creditor of its intent to do
so on behalf of Creditor.

      8. Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing
the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of
this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the
Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this
Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the
Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that
Creditor may have in any property of Borrower. By way of example, such
instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of interest with
respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the
principal or interest or any other portion of the Subordinated Debt.

      9. This Agreement shall remain effective for so long as Borrower owes any
amounts to Senior Creditor under the Loan Agreement or otherwise in an amount
not to exceed the Senior Debt. If, at any time after payment in full of the
Senior Debt any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Senior Creditor
for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower), this
Agreement



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   62
and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as
to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and
Creditor shall immediately pay over to Senior Creditor all payments received
with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would
have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without
notice to Creditor, Senior Creditor may take such actions with respect to the
Senior Debt as Senior Creditor, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate,
including, without limitation, terminating advances to Borrower, increasing the
principal amount in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000.00, extending the time of
payment, increasing applicable interest rates, renewing, compromising or
otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any
collateral securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any
rights against Borrower or any other person. Creditor waives the benefits, if
any, of any statutory or common law rule that may permit a subordinating
creditor to assert any defenses of a surety or guarantor, or that may give the
subordinating creditor the right to require a senior creditor to marshal assets,
and Creditor agrees that it shall not assert any such defenses or rights.

      10. This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of Creditor and
shall benefit any successors or assigns of Senior Creditor. This Agreement is
solely for the benefit of Creditor and Senior Creditor and not for the benefit
of Borrower or any other party. Creditor further agrees that if Borrower is in
the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and
if Senior Creditor makes a request of Creditor, Creditor shall agree to enter
into a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      11. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. This Agreement shall become effective only when it shall have been
executed by Creditor and Senior Creditor (provided, however, in no event shall
this Agreement become effective until signed by an officer of Senior Creditor in
California).

      12. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California without giving effect to conflicts of law
principles. Creditor and Senior Creditor submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
CREDITOR AND SENIOR CREDITOR WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.

      13. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and
commitments. Creditor is not relying on any representations by Senior Creditor
or Borrower in entering into this Agreement, and Creditor has kept and will
continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of
Borrower. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by
Creditor and Senior Creditor.

      14. All parties acknowledge that Creditor is subordinated in right of
payment first to Senior Creditor and second to Comdisco, Inc.




                                      -4-

      15. In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party
under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in
addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in such action.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.

      other Supplier's location as may be designated by Supplier). Company shall

      privilege to sell to Company any or all products of the type described in
      the MATERIAL section which Company may require, nor requires the purchase
      of any MATERIAL or other products from Supplier by Company. Therefore,
      Company may contract with other manufacturers and suppliers for the
      procurement of comparable products. In addition, Company shall, at its
      sole discretion, decide the extent to which Company will market advertise,
      promote, support or otherwise assist in further offerings of the MATERIAL.

            Purchases by Company under this Agreement shall neither restrict the
      right of Company to cease purchasing nor require Company to continue any
      level of such purchases. Company's right to any supply of MATERIAL
      hereunder is non-exclusive except for MATERIAL marked with INSIGNIA.
      Supplier shall have the right to supply comparable products to third

                                                                   Sheet 4 of 28

      to be made by Supplier in the MATERIAL furnished pursuant to said
      Specifications under this Agreement.

            If Company, in its sole discretion, does not agree to the change
      proposed by Supplier, Company may submit a Modification Request to address
      the change. If the Company's Modification Request is not an acceptable
      solution, then in lieu of all other rights and remedies at law or equity
      or otherwise, and without any cost to or liability or obligation of
      Company, Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement .

            Supplier shall continue to supply MATERIAL to Company pursuant to
      the Specifications for the term of the Agreement. If Supplier is unable to
      continue to thus supply or discontinues manufacture of MATERIAL, Company
      shall be entitled to three (3) month's advance notice, provided (i) the

      reasonable amount of purchases during the period preceding Supplier's
      notice of discontinuance.

13.   ASSIGNMENT

            Supplier shall not assign any right or interest under this Agreement
      (excepting solely for moneys due or to become due) without the prior
      written consent of Company, provided however, no such consent shall be
      required in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the
      business of Supplier related to MATERIAL or in connection with any merger,
      reorganization or sale of Supplier. Except where Company has specified a
      designated subcontractor, Supplier shall be responsible to Company for all
      work performed by Supplier's subcontractor(s) at any tier. In the event of
      an assignment, Company may terminate this Agreement or an order, in whole
      or in part, by written notice to Supplier. In such case, Company's
      liability shall be limited to payment of the amount due for Work performed
      and/or MATERIAL provided by Supplier up to and including the date of
      termination.

14.   BANKRUPTCY AND TERMINATION FOR FINANCIAL INSECURITY

            Either party may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing:

            (i)   if the other party makes an assignment for the benefit of
                  creditors (other than solely an assignment of monies due); or:

            (ii)  if the other party evidences an inability to pay debts as they
                  become due, unless adequate assurance of such ability to pay
                  is provided within thirty (30) days of such notice.

            If a proceeding is commenced under any provision of the United
      States Bankruptcy Code, voluntary or involuntary, by or against either
      party, and this Agreement has not been terminated, the non-debtor party
      may file a request with the bankruptcy court to have the court set a date
      within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the case, by which the
      debtor party will assume or reject this

                                                        Agreement No. SC11990054
                                                                   Sheet 5 of 28

      Agreement, and the debtor party shall cooperate and take whatever steps
      necessary to assume or reject the Agreement by such date.

15.   CFC PACKAGING

            Supplier warrants that all packaging materials furnished under this
      Agreement and all packaging associated with MATERIAL furnished under this
      Agreement were not manufactured using and do not contain
      chlorofluorocarbons. "Packaging" means all bags, wrapping, boxes, cartons
      and any other packing materials used for packaging. Supplier shall
      indemnify and hold Company harmless for any liability, fine or penalty
      incurred by Company to any third party or governmental agency arising out
      of Company's good faith reliance upon said warranty.

16.   CHOICE OF LAW

            This Agreement and all transactions under it shall be governed by
      the laws of the State of New Jersey excluding its choice of laws rules and
      excluding the Convention for the International Sale of Goods. Supplier
      agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any court wherein an action is
      commenced against Company based on a claim for which Supplier has agreed
      to indemnify Company under this Agreement.

17.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

            Supplier and Company and all persons furnished by Supplier and
      Company shall comply at their own expense with all applicable laws,
      ordinances, regulations and codes, export regulations, including the
      identification and procurement of required permits, certificates,
      licenses, insurance, approvals and inspections in performance under this
      Agreement.

18.   CONTINUING AVAILABILITY

            Supplier shall offer for sale to Company, during the term of this
      Agreement and for at least six (6) months after the expiration of this
      Agreement, MATERIAL conforming to the Specifications set forth in this
      Agreement. Supplier further shall offer for sale to Company, during the
      term of this Agreement and until * * * after the expiration of this
      Agreement, maintenance, replacement, and repair parts ("Parts") which are
      functionally equivalent for the MATERIAL covered by this Agreement. The
      price for the MATERIAL and Parts shall be the price set forth in
      Supplier's then current agreement with Company for said MATERIAL or Parts
      or, if no such agreement exists, at a price agreed upon by Company and
      Supplier. If the parties fail to agree on a price, the price shall be a
      reasonably competitive price for said MATERIAL or Parts at the time for
      delivery. The MATERIAL and Parts shall be warranted as set forth in the

      term "MATERIAL."

            In the event Supplier fails to supply such MATERIAL or Parts and
      Supplier is unable to obtain another source of supply for Company, then
      Company and Supplier shall endeavor to develop an alternative method of
      provisioning MATERIAL or parts, which
<PAGE>   6
                                                        Agreement No. SC11990054
                                                                   Sheet 6 of 28

      may include licensing Manufacturing Rights to Company. At that time, both
      parties shall determine necessary measures required for Company to obtain
      MATERIAL under this license.

19.   DEFAULT

            If either Supplier or Company shall be in breach or default of any
      of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Agreement or of any purchase
      order, and if such breach or default shall continue for a period of thirty
      (30) days after the giving of written notice to the other party then, in
      addition to all other rights and remedies which each party may have at law
      or equity or otherwise, Supplier or Company shall have the right to cancel
      this Agreement and/or any purchase orders placed by Company without any
      charge to or obligation or liability of either party.

20.   ELECTRONIC DELIVERY SERVICE

            Supplier agrees, if requested by Company, to implement Electronic
      Delivery Service (EDS) ordering arrangements as an electronic means of
      trading business document with Company when it can reasonably accomplish
      the task. The electronic business documents include purchase orders,
      acknowledgments, purchase order changes, ship notices, remittance advice,
      or such purchasing communications as may be requested by Company for
      transaction under this Agreement.

21.   EPIDEMIC CONDITION

            If during the term of this Agreement and for * * * after the last
      shipment date of MATERIAL under this Agreement Company notifies Supplier
      that MATERIAL shows evidence of an "Epidemic Condition," Supplier shall
      prepare and propose a Corrective Action Plan ("CAP") with respect to such
      MATERIAL within fifteen (15) working days of such notification, addressing
      implementation and procedure milestones for remedying such Epidemic
      Condition(s). An extension of this time-frame is permissible upon mutual
      written agreement of the parties.

            Upon notification of the Epidemic Condition to Supplier, Company
      shall have the right to postpone all or part of the shipments of unshipped
      MATERIAL, by giving written notice of such postponement to Supplier,
      pending correction of the Epidemic Condition. Such postponement shall
      temporarily relieve Supplier of its shipment liability and Company of its
      shipment acceptance liability. Should Supplier not agree to the existence
      of an Epidemic Condition or should Company not agree to the CAP, then
      Company shall have the right to suspend all or part of its unshipped
      orders without liability to Company until such time as a mutually
      acceptable solution is reached.

            An Epidemic Condition will be considered to exist when one or more
      of the following conditions occur:

            (1) Failure reports or statistical samplings show that MATERIAL
      shipped contain a potential safety hazard (such as personal injury or
      death, fire, explosion, toxic
<PAGE>   7
                                                        Agreement No. SC11990054
                                                                   Sheet 7 of 28

      emissions, etc.), or exhibit a highly objectionable symptom (such as
      emissions of smoke, loud noises, deformation of housing) or other
      disconcerting symptoms of this type.

             (2) Reliability plots of relevant data indicate that the MATERIAL
      has actual Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of less than 80% of the MTBF
      stipulated in the Specification. The MTBF parameter of MATERIAL is defined
      as the total operating or power-on time of any population under
      observation ("T"), in hours, divided by the total number of critical
      failures ("n") that have occurred during the observed period. A critical
      failure is defined as a failure to operate per the requirements of the
      Specification. The total operating time of a population is the summation
      of operating time of individual units in that population. MTBF is
      expressed as MTBF = T/n. An Epidemic Condition shall exist when data
      derived from populations being tracked confirms the condition with 80%
      confidence. (3) MATERIAL Dead on Arrival (DOA) failures exceed the
      Epidemic DOA failure rate which is defined as 1.2 x DOA specified in the
      section of this Agreement entitled PRODUCT CONFORMANCE REVIEW.

            Only major hardware failures and visual/mechanical/appearance
      defects are considered for determining Epidemic Condition. MATERIAL could
      be either sampled or, a Company's option, 100% audited at Company
      warehouses, factories or Company's customers' locations. If MATERIAL is
      sampled, the data must have 80% or better statistical confidence.

            For the purpose of this Agreement, functional DOA shall be defined
      as any MATERIAL that during the test, installation or upon its first use
      fails to operate in accordance with the Specifications as defined or
      specified in writing. Visual/mechanical/appearance DOA is defined as any
      MATERIAL containing one or more major defects that would make the MATERIAL
      unfit for use or installation.

            An Epidemic Condition shall not include failures due to customer
      misapplication, utilization of parts not approved by Supplier, or chain
      failures induced by internally or externally integrated subassemblies.

            In the event that Supplier develops a remedy for the defect(s) that
      caused the Epidemic Condition and Company agrees in writing that the
      remedy is acceptable, such acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld
      or delayed, Supplier shall:

      (a) Incorporate the remedy in the affected MATERIAL in accordance with
      Company's written instructions.

      (b) Ship all subsequent MATERIAL incorporating the required modification
      correcting the defect(s) at no additional charge to Company; and

      (c) Repair and/or replace MATERIAL that caused the Epidemic Condition. In
      the event that Company incurs reasonable and documented costs due to such
      repair and/or

                                                                   Sheet 8 of 28

      replacement, including but not limited to labor and shipping costs,
      Company shall supply such documentation and Supplier shall reimburse
      Company for such reasonable costs. Supplier shall bear risk of in transit
      loss and damage for such repaired and/or replaced MATERIAL.

            Supplier and Company shall mutually agree in writing as to the
      remedy's implementation schedule. Supplier shall use its best efforts to
      implement the remedy in accordance with the agreed-upon schedule.

            If Supplier is unable to develop a mutually agreeable remedy, or
      does not adequately take into account the business interests of Company,
      as reasonably agreed by the parties, Company may (1) develop and implement
      such remedy and, in such case, implementation costs and risk of in-
      transit loss and damage shall be allocated between the parties as set
      forth in this section, and/or (2) cancel postponed orders without
      liability and return all MATERIAL affected by such Epidemic Condition for
      full refund, payable by Supplier within thirty (30) business days after
      receipt of returned MATERIAL (with risk of loss or in-transit damage borne
      by Supplier) and/or (3) terminate this Agreement without further
      liability.

22.   EXPORT CONTROL

            Supplier and Company will not use, distribute, transfer or transmit
      any products, software or technical information (even if incorporated into
      other products) provided under this Agreement except in compliance with

      software or technical data. Supplier and Company agree to promptly inform
      the other party in writing of any written authorization issued by the U.S.
      Department of Commerce office of export licensing to export or re-export
      any such items referenced in (a) or (b). The obligations stated above in
      this clause will survive the expiration, cancellation or termination of
      this Agreement or any other related agreement.

23.   FORCE MAJEURE

            Neither party shall be held responsible for any delay or failure in
      performance of any part of this Agreement (except for the obligation to
      pay money) to the extent such delay or failure is caused by fire, flood,
      strike, civil, governmental, or military authority, act of God, or other
      similar causes beyond its control and without the fault or negligence of
      the delayed or non performing party or its subcontractors. Supplier's
      liability for loss or damage to Company's MATERIAL in Supplier's
      possession or control shall not be modified by this section. When a
      party's delay or nonperformance continues for a period of at least fifteen
      (15) days, the other party may terminate, at no charge, this Agreement or
      an order under the Agreement.

            The failure of either party at any time to enforce any right or
      remedy available to it under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to

      conform to all applicable requirements established pursuant to such
      agreements, legislation and regulations, and the MATERIAL furnished to

      manufacturing vendor to reduce and will, in an expeditious manner,
      eliminate, or, as applicable, have its manufacturing vendor eliminate the
      use of ODCs in the manufacture of the MATERIAL.

            If the MATERIAL furnished by Supplier under this Agreement is
      manufactured outside the United States, Supplier shall, upon execution of
      this Agreement, and at any time that new products are added to this

        2.3 EXCLUSIONS.

               2.3.1 THIRD PARTY TOOLS. No license is granted hereunder to any
third party development tools or other software required to replicate the
Packeteer Software development environment ("Third Party Tools"). A complete
list of the Third Party Tools is set forth in ATTACHMENT A ("Packeteer
Software).

               2.3.2 OTHER EXCLUDED COMPONENTS. The Packeteer Software may
contain certain third party software that Packeteer has no right to redistribute
in source code form ("Excluded Components"). A complete list of Excluded
Components is set forth in ATTACHMENT A ("Packeteer Software).

               2.3.3 NO ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. ADTRAN specifically acknowledges
that, other than as expressly set forth above, no rights to the Packeteer
Software are granted to ADTRAN hereunder and there are no implied licenses under
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ADTRAN
acknowledges that it has no right to modify the Packeteer Software Source or
Packeteer API except for the limiting porting activities licensed under
PARAGRAPH 2.1 ("Limited Source Code License"), and that any modification will be
deemed a material breach of the Agreement. In addition to any remedies available
to Packeteer for such breach, Packeteer will have no obligations to support the
modified Packeteer Software or the resulting ADTRAN Product, and ADTRAN shall
assign all right, title and interest in such unpermitted modifications to
Packeteer. Except as expressly set forth above, ADTRAN will have no right to
sublicense or transfer the rights granted herein to any third party.

        2.4 DOCUMENTATION. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Packeteer
grants to ADTRAN a royalty-free non-exclusive, non-transferable, sub-licensable
license to localize, reproduce, distribute, reformat, modify and sublicense the
Packeteer Documentation so as to apply to the ADTRAN Product. ADTRAN recognizes
that its ownership of any derivative works




                                       3.
<PAGE>   4
of the Packeteer Documentation is subject to Packeteer's underlying ownership of
the Packeteer Documentation. ADTRAN agrees that it will not modify or delete any
copyright notices or other proprietary notices included in the Packeteer
Documentation without written approval of Packeteer. Packeteer will have the
right to inspect the modified Packeteer Documentation to ensure that it meets
Packeteer's quality standards.

        2.5 TRADEMARK LICENSE. Subject to compliance with the terms of this
Agreement (including, but not limited to, PARAGRAPH 11 ("Trademarks")) and
ATTACHMENT D ("Packeteer Trademarks"), Packeteer hereby grants to ADTRAN a
non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the trademarks set forth
in ATTACHMENT D ("Packeteer Trademarks") in connection with the marketing and
distribution of the ADTRAN Products.

        2.6 END USER LICENSE. ADTRAN will take all steps necessary to protect
Packeteer's proprietary rights in the Packeteer Software and to ensure that each
ADTRAN Product will be accompanied by a localized copy of ADTRAN's standard
software license agreement applicable to such software which will include terms
and conditions no less protective of Packeteer's interests as those set forth in
ATTACHMENT C ("Packeteer End User License Agreement").

        2.7 OWNERSHIP OF PORTED SOFTWARE. Packeteer will own all right, title
and interest in all Ported Software created by ADTRAN. ADTRAN hereby assigns to
Packeteer the entire right, title and interest in the Ported Software. ADTRAN
will deliver all such Ported Software to Packeteer in source and object code
form as such Ported Software is created, or upon Packeteer's request, but in no
event less frequently than once per calendar quarter. ADTRAN agrees to render
reasonable cooperation to Packeteer in the procurement and maintenance of
Packeteer's rights in the Ported Software and to sign all papers which Packeteer
may deem necessary and desirable for vesting Packeteer with such rights
throughout the world, including litigation of applicable patents, copyrights and
other proceedings, and execution of an assignment of copyright.

3. DELIVERY

        3.1 INITIAL DELIVERY; ACCEPTANCE. Upon receipt of the Initial Delivery
Fee, Packeteer will deliver the Packeteer Software to ADTRAN, including the
Packeteer Software Source, the Packeteer Software Information, the Packeteer
API, and the Packeteer Documentation, all in electronic form, and where
suitable, also in paper form. The Packeteer Software will be deemed accepted
upon delivery.

        3.2 MAINTENANCE DELIVERIES. So long as ADTRAN is current on maintenance
fees and Packeteer is still offering maintenance releases for the Packeteer
Software, Packeteer will deliver applicable Updates to the Packeteer Software as
such Updates are made generally available to Packeteer's customers. Such
deliveries will be deemed accepted upon delivery.

        3.3 INCORPORATING UPDATES. ADTRAN will have the option to incorporate
such Updates into the ADTRAN Product, provided that if ADTRAN fails to
successfully incorporate such Updates within one (1) year such Update is made
generally available, (a) the trademark license set forth in PARAGRAPH 2.5
("Trademark License") will terminate and ADTRAN will cease to use the Trademarks
in connection with such ADTRAN Product, and (b) Packeteer will



                                       4.
<PAGE>   5

bear no obligation to continue to provide technical support (but will continue
to provide Updates during the Maintenance Period) for such out-of-date ADTRAN
Product.

4. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

        4.1 DEMONSTRATION. Packeteer will provide a "walk-through" demonstration
(not to exceed one day) for the Packeteer Software, and periodically for each
Update it delivers.

        4.2 MODIFICATIONS TO PACKETEER SOFTWARE. In the course of developing the
ADTRAN Product, ADTRAN may from time to time request that Packeteer make changes
to the Packeteer Software in order to provide additional functionality. During
the period in which ADTRAN is paying Packeteer for maintenance and is in
compliance with its maintenance obligations (a "Maintenance Period"), Packeteer
agrees to consider such requested changes promptly, and if it finds, in its sole
discretion, such requested changes to be reasonable to the future development of
the Packeteer Software, to implement such changes promptly as an Update, all
without additional charge to ADTRAN.

        4.3 END USER SUPPORT. ADTRAN will be solely responsible for providing
all support and maintenance for End Users of the ADTRAN Product. ADTRAN will
provide its End Users with reasonable documentation, warranty service, and
e-mail or telephone support for the use of the ADTRAN Product consistent with
good industry practice and the terms of this Agreement.

        4.4 TECHNICAL SUPPORT. During the Maintenance Period, Packeteer will
provide ADTRAN (but not ADTRAN's End Users, distributors or resellers) with
development support (including access to technical, engineering and management
staff) in the form of telephone and e-mail responses to questions that ADTRAN
may have with respect to the current version of the Packeteer Software and any
previous versions released by Packeteer within the past twelve (12) months.
Packeteer will provide support solely for questions related to the unmodified
Packeteer Software. In the event that such technical support requests become
unduly burdensome, the parties shall confer to discuss whether the number of
hours per month which Packeteer spends providing support should be reduced, or
if the fee for such support should be increased. In this scenario support will
not be withheld during such discussions.

        4.5 COMPATIBILITY. Updates provided hereunder for functionality that has
previously been implemented by ADTRAN will be "backwards compatible" (so that
there will be no substantial loss of functionality) with the previously released
version and any versions released in the preceding twelve (12) months.

5. PAYMENTS

        5.1 INITIAL DELIVERY. On the Effective Date, ADTRAN will pay Packeteer a
fee (the "Initial Delivery Fee") in SCHEDULE 1.

        5.2 MAINTENANCE. For each calendar quarter for which ADTRAN desires to
receive Updates and technical support, it will pay Packeteer a maintenance fee
(the "Maintenance Fee") as set forth on SCHEDULE 1 ("Fees"). Any failure by
ADTRAN to pay a Maintenance Fee shall terminate those obligations by Packeteer
to provide Updates under PARAGRAPH 3.2 ("Maintenance Deliveries") and technical
support under PARAGRAPHS 4.2 ("Modifications to



                                       5.
<PAGE>   6

Packeteer Software") and 4.4 ("Technical Support") but shall not otherwise
terminate the licenses granted in PARAGRAPHS 2.1 ("Limited Source Code License")
and 2.2 ("Distribution License") or other obligations of the Parties to this
Agreement. Any failure by ADTRAN to pay a Maintenance Fee shall not relieve
ADTRAN from any of its obligations under this Agreement including, without
limitation, the payment of the Royalties under PARAGRAPH 5.3 ("Royalties"). Upon
a failure by ADTRAN to successfully incorporate any Update as contemplated in
PARAGRAPH 3.3 ("Incorporating Updates") within one (1) year after it is made
generally available by Packeteer, (a) ADTRAN will cease to use the Trademarks
(as described in PARAGRAPH 3.3 ("Incorporating Updates")), and (b) Packeteer
shall have the option not to accept any further Maintenance Fees from ADTRAN and
to terminate its obligations to provide Updates under PARAGRAPH 3.2
("Maintenance Deliveries") after the current Maintenance Period.

        5.3 ROYALTIES. The royalties and other fees payable will be as set forth
on


                                       6.
<PAGE>   7
SCHEDULE 1 ("Fees").

        5.4 TAXES. ADTRAN agrees to pay, and to indemnify and hold Packeteer
harmless from, any sales, use, excise, import or export, value added or similar
tax, not based on Packeteer's net income, as well as the collection or
withholding thereof, including penalties and interest, as well as any costs
associated with the collection or withholding thereof, and all government permit
or license fees and all customs, duty, tariff and similar fees levied upon the
delivery of, the ADTRAN Product or related products, as well as any costs
associated with the collection of any of the foregoing items in the event that
it is deemed not to be a sale for resale under applicable state law by the
relevant taxing authority. ADTRAN will be responsible for obtaining, at its
expense, all required import licenses, permits or other governmental orders. If
a resale certificate or other certificate, document or other evidence of
exemption or payment or withholding of taxes by ADTRAN is required in order to
exempt the distribution or licensing of the Packeteer Software, ADTRAN Product
or other related product from any such liability or to enable Packeteer to claim
any tax exemption, credit, or other benefit, ADTRAN will promptly furnish such
certificate or document to Packeteer.

        5.5 REPORTING. On a quarterly basis, ADTRAN will, within * * * following
the end of such quarter, provide Packeteer a report including the following: (a)
the number of units of the ADTRAN Product sold during that quarter; (b)
geographic information related to the units of ADTRAN Product sold during that
quarter, including, at least, by the country of the sale, by the State and
postal (zip) code of the sale; (c) the royalty payments due during that quarter.

        5.6 AUDIT. Each party will keep and maintain, for a period of three (3)
years, proper records and books of account relating to licenses of the ADTRAN
Product to customers and End Users. Upon reasonable notice to the other party, a
party may have a reputable independent auditor inspect, at the requesting
party's expense, such records to verify the other party's payments hereunder no
more than once every six (6) months; however, if the audit reveals a discrepancy
of more than 5%, then the recordkeeper will pay for the cost of the audit and
the auditing party will have the right to conduct another audit within the six
(6) month period.

        5.7 MANNER OF PAYMENT. All payments due hereunder are in U.S. Dollars.
ADTRAN shall include royalty payments with each report.

        5.8 OVERDUE PAYMENTS. Overdue payments will be subject to a finance
charge of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month or the
highest interest rate allowed by law, for each month or fraction thereof that
such amounts are * * * past due.

6. DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

        6.1 ADTRAN DEVELOPMENT RESPONSIBILITIES. ADTRAN will be responsible for
creating the Ported Software, the ADTRAN Product, and incorporating Updates in
the ADTRAN Product in compliance with the terms of the Agreement. In addition,
ADTRAN will be responsible for creating and delivering to Packeteer a list of
errors found prior to Packeteer's certification or testing of the ADTRAN Product
pursuant to ATTACHMENT G ("Test Certification Procedures").



                                       7.
<PAGE>   8

        6.2 TESTING AND CERTIFICATION OF ADTRAN PRODUCTS. ADTRAN will test each
version of the ADTRAN Product. Once yearly, Packeteer will certify ADTRAN's
tests results or perform independent testing in accordance with the procedures
in ATTACHMENT G ("Test Certification Procedures"). If the ADTRAN Product passes
Packeteer's Test Certification Procedures, then ADTRAN shall be entitled to
market and distribute the ADTRAN Product under the Trademarks under the terms of
this Agreement. ADTRAN will provide Packeteer with reasonable access to the
ADTRAN Software and Ported Software, including, but not limited to, exposing
command line interfaces for the ADTRAN Software in order to permit Packeteer to
perform regression testing and to confirm that no unpermitted modifications have
been made to the Packeteer Software. Such regression testing will not be
designed to permit Packeteer to analyze the ADTRAN Software (its source or
object code) to determine the manner and methods utilized in supporting its
functionality without the prior written permission of ADTRAN.

        6.3 LOANED EQUIPMENT. ADTRAN will loan Packeteer all necessary equipment
for such certification testing. All equipment loaned by ADTRAN to Packeteer will
remain the property of ADTRAN, will be fully insured by Packeteer, and will be
returned to ADTRAN at its request after termination of Packeteer's testing
activities hereunder. ADTRAN will pay all shipping and other costs (including,
without limitation, custom fees and duties) resulting from delivery of such
loaned equipment to Packeteer. Any loaned equipment will be returned to ADTRAN
by Packeteer, shipping, insurance and any other applicable costs prepaid by
ADTRAN. While in the possession of Packeteer, the loaned equipment will be
maintained by ADTRAN in good working order.

7. MARKETING

        7.1 PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS. ADTRAN will use its reasonable efforts to
market and distribute the ADTRAN Product to End Users. ADTRAN may advertise the
ADTRAN Product in advertising media of ADTRAN's choice. ADTRAN will use the
Trademarks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in conducting such
marketing efforts.

        7.2 PRESS RELEASE. The parties will create a mutually agreeable press
release to announce the execution of this Agreement. Neither party will disclose
any terms of the Agreement, except pursuant to a mutually agreeable press
release or as otherwise required by law.

8. WARRANTY

        8.1 PACKETEER WARRANTY. Packeteer warrants for a period of ninety (90)
days from delivery (the "Warranty Period") that the unmodified Packeteer
Software Source will compile in the development environment specified by
Packeteer to yield the corresponding object code version of such source code
(excluding any Excluded Components). Packeteer also warrants for the Warranty
Period that the unmodified Packeteer Software Source when used in accordance
with the Packeteer Documentation shall share substantially equivalent
functionality (excluding functionality corresponding to the excluded components)
with Packeteer's PacketShaper software delivered to ADTRAN for testing on or
about February 10, 1999. If ADTRAN reports to Packeteer a failure of the
Packeteer Software Source to conform to the foregoing warranties during the
Warranty Period, and provides such detail as Packeteer may require to permit



                                       8.
<PAGE>   9
Packeteer to reproduce such failure, Packeteer, at its expense, shall use
reasonable commercial efforts to modify or replace the Packeteer Software Source
to correct such failure. ADTRAN acknowledges that the Packeteer Software Source
delivered by Packeteer to ADTRAN will require adaptation by ADTRAN or Packeteer
for compatibility with ADTRAN platforms and configurations, which platforms and
configurations will generally be different from the development environment and
platform used by Packeteer. ADTRAN acknowledges that the Packeteer Software is
of such complexity that it may have inherent defects, and agrees that Packeteer
makes no other warranty, either express or implied, as to any matter whatsoever.
The foregoing states Packeteer's sole and exclusive warranty to ADTRAN
concerning the Packeteer Software Source and ADTRAN's sole and exclusive remedy
for breach of warranty.

        8.2 DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 8.1 ("PACKETEER
WARRANTY"), THE PACKETEER SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED TO ADTRAN "AS-IS" AND WITHOUT ANY
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. PACKETEER EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY.

9. INDEMNITY

        9.1 BY PACKETEER. Packeteer agrees to defend and otherwise hold ADTRAN
harmless from any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys' fees resulting from
any claim that the uses permitted hereunder of the Packeteer Software infringe
any U.S. patents or U.S. copyrights, or misappropriate the trade secrets of any
third party, provided that ADTRAN gives Packeteer prompt written notice of any
such claim, tenders to Packeteer the defense or settlement of such a claim at
Packeteer's expense, and cooperates with Packeteer, at Packeteer's expense, in
defending or settling such claim. If Packeteer receives notice of an alleged
infringement or if ADTRAN's use of the Packeteer Software is prevented by
permanent injunction, Packeteer may, at its sole option and expense, procure for
ADTRAN the right to continued use of the Packeteer Software, modify the
Packeteer Software such that it is no longer infringing, or replace the
Packeteer Software with software of similar functional capability (in either of
the latter two options, the revised or replacement software must be backwards
compatible as that term is defined in PARAGRAPH 4.5 ("Compatibility")), or
terminate the license and return to ADTRAN the Initial Delivery Fee. PACKETEER'S
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION WILL BE ADTRAN'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR
ANY ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY PROPRIETARY RIGHT. PACKETEER
WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ADTRAN IF ANY ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIM THEREOF IS
BASED UPON THE USE OF THE PACKETEER SOFTWARE IN CONNECTION OR IN COMBINATION
WITH EQUIPMENT, DEVICES, OR SOFTWARE NOT DELIVERED BY PACKETEER (IF SUCH
INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIM COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY THE USE OF THE UNMODIFIED
PACKETEER SOFTWARE WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT, DEVICES OR SOFTWARE), OR THE USE OF THE
PACKETEER SOFTWARE OTHER THAN AS PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN A MANNER
FOR WHICH IT WAS NOT INTENDED, OR USE OF OTHER THAN THE MOST CURRENT RELEASE OF
THE PACKETEER SOFTWARE (IF SUCH CLAIM WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE USE OF
SUCH RELEASE).



                                       9.
<PAGE>   10

               9.1.1 UPDATES. IF PACKETEER GIVES ADTRAN NOTICE THAT A SPECIFIC
UPDATE IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO AVOID INFRINGING THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
OF A THIRD PARTY, AND IF WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS ADTRAN FAILS TO USE SUCH UPDATE
AND TO DISTRIBUTE SUCH UPDATE TO ITS END USERS, THEN PACKETEER WILL HAVE NO
LIABILITY TO ADTRAN UNDER PARAGRAPH 9.1 FOR INFRINGING SUCH INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO INFRINGEMENT HAD ADTRAN ADOPTED SUCH
UPDATE.

        9.2 BY ADTRAN. ADTRAN agrees to defend and otherwise hold Packeteer
harmless from any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys' fees resulting from
any claim that the uses permitted hereunder of the ADTRAN Product infringe any
U.S. patents or U.S. copyrights, or misappropriate the trade secrets of any
third party, provided that Packeteer gives ADTRAN prompt written notice of any
such claim, tenders to ADTRAN the defense or settlement of such a claim at
ADTRAN's expense, and cooperates with ADTRAN, at ADTRAN's expense, in defending
or settling such claim. ADTRAN'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION WILL BE
PACKETEER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY
PROPRIETARY RIGHT.

10. PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

        10.1 PACKETEER OWNERSHIP. Packeteer and its suppliers are the sole and
exclusive owners of all rights, title and interest, including all Trademarks,
copyrights, patents, trade names, trade secrets, and other intellectual property
rights to the Packeteer Software, and in any modifications made to the Packeteer
Software at ADTRAN's request or suggestion under PARAGRAPH 4.2 ("Modifications
to Packeteer Software"). Except for the rights expressly enumerated herein,
ADTRAN is not granted any rights to patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks (whether or not registered), or any other rights, franchises
or licenses with respect to the Packeteer Software. ADTRAN agrees to protect the
Packeteer Software in accordance with PARAGRAPH 10 ("Protection of Proprietary
Rights") and ATTACHMENT E ("Secure Procedures"). Failure to protect the
proprietary rights of Packeteer and its suppliers in the Packeteer Software, as
required by this Agreement, will be considered a material breach of this
Agreement.

        10.2 ADTRAN OWNERSHIP. Packeteer acknowledges ADTRAN's statement that
ADTRAN and its suppliers are the sole and exclusive owners of all rights, title
and interest, including all trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade names, trade
secrets, mask works, and other intellectual property rights to the ADTRAN
Product (excluding the Ported Software). Except for the rights expressly
enumerated herein (e.g., the right to perform certain regression testing),
Packeteer is not granted any rights to patents, copyrights, trade secrets, mask
works, trade names, trademarks (whether or not registered), or any other rights,
franchises or licenses with respect to the ADTRAN Product. Packeteer agrees to
protect the ADTRAN Product in accordance with PARAGRAPH 12 ("Confidentiality").

        10.3 COOPERATION. The parties agree to cooperate and execute documents
reasonably requested to confirm such ownership or to obtain protection under any
intellectual property law.



                                      10.
<PAGE>   11
        10.4 PROPRIETARY NOTICES. ADTRAN agrees that as a condition of its
rights hereunder, each copy of the Ported Software will contain the same
proprietary notices which appear on or in such Packeteer Software provided by
Packeteer to ADTRAN. More specifically, ADTRAN agrees that a valid Packeteer
copyright notice will appear on the media or will be displayed on any screen
visible to a user when the ADTRAN Product is first initialized in the following
format or such other format as Packeteer specifies by written notice to ADTRAN:
the name of the program, the word "Copyright" and the "(C)" symbol, the year
1996 (the date of first creation of the Packeteer Software), followed by a
hyphen and the year of the most recent version of the Ported Software, and the
name of the copyright owner and the words "All Rights Reserved." Presence of a
copyright notice does not constitute an acknowledgment of publication. ADTRAN
will ensure that the trademark notices are displayed in the ADTRAN Product as
set forth in PARAGRAPH 11 ("Trademarks").

        10.5 UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION OR COPYING. ADTRAN agrees that (except as
expressly permitted by this Agreement): (a) distributing, copying, duplicating
or otherwise reproducing all or any part of the Packeteer Software, (b)
distributing or using copies of all or any portion of the Packeteer Software
other than as embedded in a royalty-bearing ADTRAN Product, or (c) failing to
ensure that each End User receives a license agreement as required by PARAGRAPH
2.6 ("End User License") will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

        10.6 GOVERNMENT AGREEMENTS. ADTRAN will take all reasonable steps in
making proposals to and agreements with governments that involve the ADTRAN
Product and related documentation to ensure that Packeteer's proprietary rights
receive the maximum protection available from such governments for commercial
computer software and related documentation developed at private expense.

        10.7 CERTIFICATION. At Packeteer's request, ADTRAN will provide
Packeteer with written certification by an officer of ADTRAN of ADTRAN's
compliance with its obligations under this PARAGRAPH 10 ("Protection of
Proprietary Rights") and ATTACHMENT E ("Secure Procedures").

        10.8 PACKETEER TRADE SECRETS. Packeteer represents that the Packeteer
Software and those techniques, algorithms, and processes contained in the
Packeteer Software which have been developed, acquired or licensed by Packeteer,
or any modification or extraction thereof, constitute trade secrets of Packeteer
and/or its suppliers, and ADTRAN agrees they will be used by ADTRAN only in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. ADTRAN will take all measures
reasonably required to protect the proprietary rights of Packeteer and its
suppliers in the Packeteer Software Information.

        10.9 ACCESS. In consideration of the licenses and access to proprietary
information and technology of Packeteer granted under this Agreement, ADTRAN
hereby agrees: (a) not to use the Packeteer Software to develop, manufacture or
distribute GOODS OUTSIDE OF THOSE DEFINED IN ATTACHMENT F (SPECIFICATIONS FOR
ADTRAN PRODUCT); and (b) to obtain the Packeteer Software only from Packeteer.
Subject to the terms of restrictions on use of proprietary information
(including, but not limited to this PARAGRAPH 10 ("Protection of Proprietary
Rights"), ATTACHMENT D ("Packeteer Trademarks"), and ATTACHMENT E ("Secure
Procedures") provided under this Agreement, this Agreement does not preclude
ADTRAN from



                                      11.
<PAGE>   12

independently developing similar technologies or products, where ADTRAN can
demonstrate by competent proof that such independent development has been
created without reference to the Packeteer Software Source, Packeteer Software
Information, or Packeteer Documentation.

11. TRADEMARKS

        11.1 PROPER USE. Unless ADTRAN or Packeteer opt to terminate the
following requirement of trademark usage and the trademark license of PARAGRAPH
2.5 ("Trademark License") under the conditions set out below, ADTRAN will make
use of the Packeteer Trademarks in accordance with the guidelines and
requirements set forth in ATTACHMENT D ("Packeteer Trademarks") and the standard
guidelines and usage requirements as promulgated by Packeteer from time to time
regarding the Trademarks. If Packeteer promulgates any changes to the standard
guidelines and usage requirements, then ADTRAN: (a) shall have six (6) months to
continue operating under the old guidelines; (b) shall have six (6) months to
continue operating under the old guidelines for existing inventory. Either
Packeteer or ADTRAN shall have the right to terminate the trademark usage
requirement of this PARAGRAPH 11.1 ("Proper Use") if ADTRAN does not pay an
annual Maintenance Fee as set out in PARAGRAPH 5.2 ("Annual Maintenance") when
such Maintenance Fee is due. Furthermore, Packeteer shall, under the same
instance, additionally be able to prohibit ADTRAN from using any Packeteer
Trademark.

        11.2 RIGHT OF REVIEW. In order to assure the Packeteer Trademarks are
associated only with products and services of Packeteer's high quality
standards, Packeteer will have the right to inspect and review all such products
and services. In the event that any use of the Packeteer Trademark does not
comport with the quality standards set by Packeteer, Packeteer will advise
ADTRAN, and ADTRAN will improve the quality within thirty (30) days so as to
comport with Packeteer's standards or cease use of the Packeteer Trademarks
immediately.

        11.3 NO COMPETITIVE EXPLOITATION OF TRADEMARKS. With respect to any
Competitive Products which ADTRAN develops or markets, ADTRAN agrees that ADTRAN
will not exploit its access to the Packeteer Software, its relationship with
Packeteer, or the existence of the Ported Software to promote ATTACHMENT I
"Competitive Products". Furthermore, so long as ADTRAN is marketing the ADTRAN
Product under the Trademarks, ADTRAN agrees to use best efforts to distinguish
the ADTRAN Product from any ATTACHMENT I "Competitive Product" when displaying
or referring to the ADTRAN Product in advertisements, catalogs, brochures and at
trade shows by (a) identifying the ADTRAN Product prominently and exclusively
with the Trademarks in such proximity that the viewer is unlikely to associate
the ADTRAN Product with the Competitive Product, and (b) not associating the
Trademarks with any Competitive Product in advertising, press releases, and
other promotional and marketing materials.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY

        12.1 RESTRICTION ON USE. Except as expressly permitted by this
Agreement, each party ("Recipient"), its employees, and its contractors will not
use in any way for its own account or the account of any third party, nor
disclose to any third party, any Confidential Information revealed to it by the
other party ("Disclosing Party") without the Disclosing Party's prior written
consent; provided, however, that if any Confidential Information of the other
party is required to



                                      12.
<PAGE>   13
be disclosed pursuant to any statute, regulation, order, subpoena or document
discovery request, then the Recipient shall provide written notice thereof to
the Disclosing Party as soon as practicable in order to afford the Disclosing
Party an opportunity to seek a protective order (it being agreed that if the
Disclosing Party is unable to obtain or does not seek a protective order and the
Recipient is legally compelled to disclose such information, disclosure of such
information may be made without liability).

        12.2 DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Confidential Information" consists of (a) any information designated
by the Disclosing Party in writing as confidential, (b) the Packeteer Software
Source and the Packeteer Software Information, (c) the source code and technical
documentation for the ADTRAN Product, and (d) the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Information in oral form will be considered Confidential Information
only to the extent it is (x) identified as confidential prior to disclosure and
(y) summarized in writing and transmitted to the Recipient, identified as
proprietary, within thirty (30) days after the oral disclosure.

        12.3 EXCLUSIONS FROM DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

Recipient prior to its receipt from the Disclosing Party; (b) is or becomes
public knowledge without fault of Recipient; (c) is acquired by Recipient from a
third party with the right to disclose same and without binder of secrecy; (d)

Confidential Information; or (e) has been approved for release by written
authorization of the Disclosing Party.

        12.4 STANDARD OF CARE. Each party will use the same standard of care
that it applies to its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than
reasonable care. Each party agrees to notify the other promptly in the event of
any breach of confidentiality or security under conditions in which it would
appear that any Confidential Information was prejudiced or exposed to loss, and
will, upon request of the other, take all reasonable steps necessary to recover
any compromised trade secrets disclosed to it or placed in its possession by
virtue of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
ADTRAN agrees to comply with the terms of ATTACHMENT E ("Secure Procedures")
regarding the handling of the Packeteer Software.

16. GENERAL

        16.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed in all respects by
the laws of the United States of America and the State of California as such
laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within
California between California residents. The parties agree that the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.

        16.2 GOVERNING LANGUAGE. This governing language and any interpretation
or construction of this Agreement will be English.

        16.3 FORUM. All disputes arising under this Agreement may be brought in
the state and federal courts located in San Jose, California, or Huntsville,
Alabama as permitted by law. ADTRAN and Packeteer consent to the personal
jurisdiction of the above courts.

        16.4 NOTICES. All notices or reports permitted or required under this
Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered by personal delivery,
telegram, telex, telecopier, facsimile transmission, or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, and will be deemed given upon
personal delivery, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, or upon
acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission. Notices will be sent to
the addresses set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement and
shall be sent to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer, or to such other
address or person as may be designated in writing.

        16.5 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. It is understood and agreed that,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to the protection of intellectual property rights
(including, but not limited to, PARAGRAPHS 2 ("License Grants"), 10 ("Protection
of Proprietary Rights"), 11 ("Trademarks"), 12 ("Confidentiality"), ATTACHMENT D
("Packeteer Trademarks"), and ATTACHMENT E ("Secure Procedures") may cause the
other party irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be
inadequate, and that a party will therefore be entitled to obtain timely
injunctive relief (whether by arbitral or judicial authority) to protect its
rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at
law.

        16.6 NO AGENCY. Nothing contained herein will be construed as creating
any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.

        16.7 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be liable hereunder by reason of
any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for
the payment of money) on account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection,
fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, labor
conditions, earthquakes, material shortages or any other cause which is beyond
the reasonable control of such party.

        16.8 WAIVER. The failure of either party to require performance by the
other party of any provision hereof will not affect the full right to require
such performance at any time thereafter; nor will the waiver by either party of
a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the
provision itself.

<PAGE>   17

        16.9 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement
will be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by
applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity will not render
this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such
provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the
objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of
applicable law or applicable court decisions.

        16.10 HEADINGS. The Paragraph headings appearing in this Agreement are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe,
or describe the scope or extent of such Paragraph or in any way affect this
Agreement.

        16.11 ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations
of ADTRAN hereunder may be assigned or transferred by ADTRAN in whole or in
part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written
approval of Packeteer which shall not unreasonably be withheld. For the purposes
of this Paragraph, a change in ownership or sale of substantially all of the
assets of ADTRAN or the business division of ADTRAN primarily involved in this
Agreement shall not be considered an assignment or transfer of ADTRAN's rights.
Packeteer may exercise full transfer and assignment rights in any manner at
Packeteer's discretion and specifically may sell, pledge, or otherwise transfer
it's right to receive royalties under this Agreement.

        16.12 EXPORT. ADTRAN acknowledges that the laws and regulations of the
United States restrict the export and re-export of commodities and technical
data of United States origin, including the Packeteer Software licensed
hereunder. ADTRAN agrees that it will not export or re-export the Packeteer
Software or ADTRAN Product in any form, without the appropriate United States
and foreign governmental licenses, if legally required. ADTRAN agrees that its
obligations pursuant to this Paragraph will survive and continue after any
termination or expiration of rights under this Agreement.

        16.13 FULL POWER. Each party warrants that it has full power to enter
into and perform this Agreement, and the person signing this Agreement on each
party's behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to enter into this
Agreement. Each party further acknowledges that it has read this Agreement,
understands it and agrees to be bound by it.

        16.14 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement together with the Attachments and
appendices completely and exclusively states the agreement of the parties
regarding its subject matter. It supersedes, and its terms govern, all prior
proposals, agreements, or other communications between the parties, oral or
written, regarding such subject matter. This Agreement will not be modified
except by a subsequently dated written amendment signed on behalf of all parties
by their duly authorized representative and any provision of a purchase order
purporting to supplement or vary the provisions hereof will be void.

        16.15 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two
or more counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

Trademarks, including supplying samples of reprinted documentation,
translations, product packaging and promotional materials that use the
Trademarks in conjunction with ADTRAN's marketing of ADTRAN Products. Upon
reasonable notice to ADTRAN and at Packeteer's sole expense, Packeteer may
conduct an inspection of such specimens at facilities of its choosing to
determine conformance with the standards.



                                      D-1.
<PAGE>   24

ADTRAN will, at Packeteer's request and expense, assist Packeteer in conducting
such inspection and testing including, but not limited to, providing Packeteer
with applicable hardware. If, at any time, Packeteer determines that ADTRAN has
not met the Packeteer quality standards, Packeteer will so advise ADTRAN and,
upon ADTRAN's receipt of such notice by any means, ADTRAN will have thirty (30)
days to improve the quality to the standard previously approved by Packeteer, or
to cease the use of all Trademarks. ADTRAN will comply with all applicable laws
and regulations pertaining to the use of the Trademarks and to the distribution
and advertising of the ADTRAN Products; however, Packeteer shall obtain all
appropriate government approvals pertaining to the use of the Trademarks.

3. INFRINGEMENT PROCEEDINGS. ADTRAN agrees to notify Packeteer of any
unauthorized use of the Trademarks by others promptly as it comes to ADTRAN's
attention. Packeteer will have the sole right and discretion to bring
infringement or unfair competition proceedings involving the Trademarks.

4. ADTRAN'S USE OF TRADEMARKS. Except as set forth otherwise in the Agreement,
ADTRAN agrees that it will (a) prominently and permanently include the Packeteer
Trademarks on all copies of the Packeteer Software and on any ADTRAN Products
distributed to End Users (b) use the Packeteer Trademarks, including the
PacketWise logo, in any advertising or printed materials concerning the ADTRAN
Products, (c) use all applicable Trademarks on all copies, advertisements,
brochures, manuals, packaging and other appropriate uses made in the promotion,
sale or use of the ADTRAN Products, and (d) ensure that the logo set forth above
will appear prominently on the logon screen, splash screen, or other first
display created by the Packeteer Software when End Users initialize the
Packeteer Software.

5. TRADEMARK REGISTRATIONS. ADTRAN, at Packeteer's request and expense, will (a)
promptly provide Packeteer with any specimens, (b) execute all applications for
trademark registrations, assignments or other applicable documents, and (c)
perform any other act reasonably necessary for Packeteer to secure or maintain
any and all trademark rights in any country in which ADTRAN is marketing the
ADTRAN Products in association with a Trademark. ADTRAN's responsibilities will
include complying with the formalities of local law, including, but not limited
to, executing any application for registration as a registered user, executing
additional license agreements suitable for recording with the appropriate
authorities or providing proof of use of the trademarks in any other applicable
documents.

6. NO UNITARY OR COMPOSITE TRADEMARKS. ADTRAN agrees not to use any other
trademark or service mark in close proximity to any of the Packeteer Trademarks
or combine the marks so as to effectively create a unitary composite mark
without the prior written approval of Packeteer.

                                  ATTACHMENT E

                                SECURE PROCEDURES


        1. AUTHORIZED EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS. ADTRAN agrees that it will only
disclose all or any portion of the Packeteer Software to authorized employees
("Authorized Employees") and authorized contractors ("Authorized Contractors")
(subject to ADTRAN's having obtained authorization for use of such contractors
in accordance with PARAGRAPH 2 of this ATTACHMENT E, below) who (a) require
access thereto for a purpose authorized by this Agreement, (b) have signed an
employee or contractor agreement in which such employee or contractor agrees to
protect third party confidential information and (c) in the case of disclosure
of Packeteer Software Source or Packeteer Software Information ("Source
Information"), have received a notice of confidentiality prior to access to such
Source Information, and again upon any termination of such access, that
contains, at a minimum provisions substantially in accordance with the
following:

        "Recipient has previously signed an agreement with ADTRAN pursuant to
        which Recipient has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of
        confidential information of ADTRAN and its suppliers (the "Confidential
        Information") and to use the Confidential Information solely for
        ADTRAN's benefit. The purpose of this notice is to apprise Recipient
        that Recipient will be receiving certain proprietary information of
        Packeteer, including internal source code, interface specifications and
        related documentation for the Packeteer product and related Packeteer
        information, all of which is of a confidential nature and which contains
        valuable trade secrets, know-how, and proprietary information of
        Packeteer (the "Packeteer Information") and which constitutes
        Confidential Information under Recipient's agreement with ADTRAN.

        This is to inform Recipient that the Packeteer Information cannot be
        used for any purpose except for the specific purposes which ADTRAN or
        Packeteer authorize in writing and that Recipient is not authorized to
        disclose the Packeteer Information to any person at any time except to
        employees of Packeteer and to those Authorized Employees and Authorized
        Contractors which ADTRAN informs Recipient are authorized to receive
        such Packeteer Information.

        All materials including, without limitation, programs, recorded
        information, documents, drawings, models, apparatus, sketches, designs,
        and lists furnished to Recipient by ADTRAN or Packeteer which are
        designated in writing to be the property of Packeteer remain the
        property of Packeteer and must be returned to Packeteer promptly at its
        request, together with any copies or modifications thereof."

ADTRAN guarantees the compliance of all such Authorized Employees and Authorized
Contractors with their obligations under such confidentiality agreements.

        2. APPROVAL OF CONTRACTORS. Notwithstanding the provisions in this
ATTACHMENT E permitting Authorized Contractors to have access to Source
Information,



                                      E-1.
<PAGE>   26
ADTRAN may not permit a contractor to come into contact with Source
Information, or engage in the development of the Enhanced Software hereunder
unless ADTRAN has first obtained a non-disclosure agreement which protects
against the unauthorized use of Source Information, and assures that the
contractor is not engaged in Competitive Product development.

        3. PACKETEER SUPPORT INFORMATION.

               3.1 ADTRAN will ensure that all Source Information received from
Packeteer, and copies made thereof, will be properly marked or otherwise
appropriately identified as Packeteer Information before being made available to
Authorized Employees and Authorized Contractors hereunder. Packeteer will
properly mark all material and Source Information as Packeteer Information.

               3.2 ADTRAN will ensure that the same degree of care is used to
prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of the Source
Information as ADTRAN uses to protect its own confidential information of a like
nature, but in no event will the safeguards for protecting such Packeteer
Support Information be less than a reasonably prudent business would exercise
under similar circumstances. ADTRAN will take prompt and appropriate action to
prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of Source Information.

               3.3 ADTRAN will instruct Authorized Employees and Authorized
Contractors not to copy Source Information on their own, and not to disclose
Source Information to anyone not authorized to receive it.

               3.4 Source Information will be handled, used, and stored solely
at the Development Site. The Source Information will not be stored on any
computer or network which is accessible from outside of the Development Site or
by people other than Authorized Employees or Authorized Contractors.

               3.5 ADTRAN will provide Packeteer with a list of all Authorized
Employees and Authorized Contractors who have access to the Source Information
and who have had access in the preceding five (5) years.

        4. TRADE SECRETS. The Packeteer Software, including the techniques,
algorithms, and processes contained in the Packeteer Software which have been
developed, acquired, or licensed by Packeteer, or any modification or extraction
thereof, constitute trade secrets of Packeteer and/or its suppliers, and will be
used by ADTRAN only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. ADTRAN will
take all measures reasonably required to protect the proprietary rights of
Packeteer and its suppliers in the Packeteer Software and will promptly notify
Packeteer of any lost or missing items and take all reasonable steps to recover
such items. ADTRAN agrees that it will not attempt to reverse engineer any
portion of the Packeteer Software which is provided to ADTRAN solely in object
code form.

        5. NO COMMINGLING OF TECHNOLOGY. If ADTRAN engages in development of
products (other than the Ported Software) that are comparable to the Packeteer
Software ("Comparable Products") during the term of this Agreement, it will
ensure that there is no sharing with such Comparable Products development any of
the following: (a) design documents or schematics supplied by Packeteer; (b)
Source Information or other information based upon or



                                      E-2.
<PAGE>   27
derived from the Source Information; or (c) any facilities (including, but not
limited to, computer systems and network storage devices), or (f) personnel with
access to any of (a)-(c) above. ADTRAN will ensure that all Authorized Employees
and Authorized Contractors who have had previous access to the Packeteer
Software will be precluded for a period of twenty-four (24) months after their
latest access to such Packeteer Software from being employed in any Comparable
Product development (either internally or externally) by or for ADTRAN or any
Competitive Product (as defined in PARAGRAPH 10.9 ("Access") of this AGREEMENT)
or Comparable Product development for any third parties. "Employment in any
Competitive (or Comparable) Product development" will be defined as having
direct access to, or producing any specifications, documentation, or source code
for, components of a Competitive (or Comparable) Product.

        6. CERTIFICATION. At Packeteer's request ADTRAN will provide Packeteer
with written certification by an officer of ADTRAN of ADTRAN's compliance with
its obligations under PARAGRAPHS 1 and 5 of this ATTACHMENT E.

        7. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AUDIT. During the term of the Agreement and for a
period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, an independent auditor selected by
Packeteer will have access to such portion of ADTRAN's records and premises to
allow Packeteer to determine whether ADTRAN is substantially in compliance with
this ATTACHMENT E and PARAGRAPH 10 ("Protection of Proprietary Rights") of the
Agreement. In no event will audits be made hereunder more frequently than twice
per year. Such access will be (a) during ADTRAN's regular business hours, (b)
arranged so that, to the extent possible, ADTRAN's regular business activities
are minimally disrupted and (c) under the terms of an appropriate
confidentiality agreement executed by the individual(s) conducting such audit.
If Packeteer determines, after conducting such audit, that ADTRAN is not
substantially in compliance with its obligations to protect Packeteer's
proprietary rights, ADTRAN will pay the costs of such audit. Otherwise,
Packeteer will pay the costs of such audit. Such payment will not preclude
Packeteer from exercising any right which it may have under the Agreement.
ADTRAN will immediately correct any deficiencies discovered in the course of the
audit.

                          TEST CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES



INTRODUCTION.


This document describes proposed requirements for the software verification
testing that Packeteer, Inc. will perform

The areas are

    -     Support materials
    -     Software requirements
    -     Hardware requirements
    -     Testing Methods
    -     Reporting results

SUPPORT MATERIALS


Adtran must provide documentation on the following areas:

- -       A set of manuals and a complete description of the feature set of the
        Device Under Test (DUT)

- -       A description of current revision level, how this version differs from
        any previous version, and estimated ship date of the next version.

- -       A complete set of test plans, test scripts, test tools and test results
        from Adtran's own internal testing effort. This must include a list of
        known bugs.



SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS


- -       DUT must have implement the complete Packeteer Command Line Interface
        (CLI) for each Packeteer module implemented in the DUT.

- -       This CLI must be accessible through Telnet through any port (Inband or
        Outband) of the DUT.

- -       This CLI need not be accessible for normal customers, but in this event,
        Packeteer must be given some means of putting the DUT into this
        Packeteer test mode.



                                      G-1.

<PAGE>   30

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS


- -       Adtran will provide at least two (2) end-to-end test rigs for the DUT.

- -       These test rigs must be capable of placing the DUT into an IP/Ethernet
        based test harness. Thus, for example, if the DUT were a frame-relay
        access device, each test rig would consist of at least two Ethernet
        frads (one of which would be the DUT), connected back to back across the
        frame-relay link by either a frame-relay router or a null-cable.

- -       If the DUT features require cross-traffic to test, then the rig must be
        capable of passing such traffic. This may require a central router with
        3 or more interfaces.

- -       The test rig must also have Sun Sparc 20's (or equivalent) running
        Solaris 2.6, with Ethernet interfaces, to function as test traffic
        generators.


TESTING METHODS

Packeteer testing will consist of two parts

- -       Automated testing. In this phase, a series of automated tests will be
        performed where the DUT is placed into various traffic modes, loaded
        with traffic, and the results compared with expected.

- -       Limited manual testing. In this phase, various features which are
        awkward to test in an automated fashion are executed manually.


REPORTING RESULTS

Packeteer will provide a complete test report upon completing the tests.

This report will include all automated and manual tests run, the expected
results, the actual results, and whether the result constitutes a test pass or
fail.
