 Votes Required

   How many shares can vote?

   Only stockholders who owned our common stock as of May 4, 2000 can cast
votes on the proposals raised at this annual meeting. The total number of
shares of our common stock outstanding as of May 4, 2000 was 14,671,422. The
common stock is our only class of securities entitled to vote, each share being
entitled to one non-cumulative vote. A list of stockholders of record as of May
4, 2000 will be available at our offices, 225 Cochrane Circle, Morgan Hill,
California, for a period of ten days prior to the meeting and at the meeting
itself, for examination by any stockholder.

   How many shares are required for the adoption of a proposal?

   A majority of our shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as
of May 4, 2000 (i.e., 7,335,712 shares) constitutes a quorum and must be
present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, for the meeting to be held for
the transaction of business. If you submit a properly executed proxy card, even
if you abstain from voting, then you will be considered part of the quorum.
Broker non-votes (proxies received from brokers who, in the absence of specific
voting instructions from beneficial owners of shares held in brokerage name,
have declined to vote such shares) will be counted as part of the quorum.
However, broker non-votes

                                       2
<PAGE>

will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been
approved. Abstentions, on the other hand, will be counted in the tabulation of
votes cast on each of the proposals presented. An abstention has the same
effect as a vote AGAINST a proposal.

   In the election of one Class I director, the candidate receiving the highest
number of affirmative votes will be elected as a Class I director. To be
adopted, each of the three other proposals must receive the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of our shares of common stock present and voting, in
person or by proxy.

Board of Directors and Committees

   Our board of directors consists of five individuals. Corel had a contractual
right to designate one individual to be a nominee to serve as a director until
such time that Corel controlled less than 17% of the voting power of our
capital stock. Corel now controls less than 17% of the voting power of our
capital stock and, therefore, this contractual right has lapsed.

   We have established an audit committee that reviews and supervises our
financial controls, including selection of our auditors, reviewing the books
and accounts, meeting with our officers regarding our financial controls,
acting upon recommendations of our auditors and taking further actions as the
audit committee deems necessary to complete an audit of our books and accounts.
The audit committee also evaluates potential conflicts of interest between us
and our executive officers and directors and serves to evaluate any
transactions or events that could be deemed to be improper, as well as other
matters that may come before it or as our board directs. The audit committee
currently consists of three directors: Messrs. Dilworth, Klein and Phelps.

   We have established a compensation committee that reviews and approves the
compensation and benefits for our executive officers, administers our stock
plans and performs other duties as may from time to time be determined by our
board. The compensation committee currently consists of two directors: Messrs.
Dilworth and Klein.

   During 1999, our board of directors met a total of four times. With the
exception of Thomas A. Bevilacqua (a former director), no director attended
fewer than 75% of those meetings during the period of time that such person
served on the board.

Director Compensation

   Our business is managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our
board consists of three classes of directors that are elected for an
alternating term of three years, whereby one class comes up for re-election

                                       5
<PAGE>

each year at the annual meeting of stockholders. The compensation committee
recently recommended, and our board approved, a compensation plan for all
eligible non-employee directors as follows:

  .  $6,000 annual retainer payable at the beginning of each quarter;

  .  $1,000 per board meeting fee payable at each meeting for each attendee;
     and

  .  $500 per committee meeting fee payable at each meeting for each
     attendee.

Such non-employee directors are also eligible for the grant of options under
our stock option plans on the same basis as that of employees.

as an incentive for them to remain in our service. The 1998 plan was adopted by
our board on June 23, 1998 and approved by our stockholders on June 23, 1998.

   Pursuant to the current terms of the 1998 plan, 2,230,400 shares of common
stock may be issued to our officers and other employees, our non-employee board
members and independent consultants in our service. However, in no event may
any one participant in the 1998 plan receive option grants or direct stock
issuances for more than 278,800 shares of common stock in the aggregate per
calendar year. Our stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the
1998 plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available thereunder
from 2,230,400 to 2,930,400.

   The shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 1998 plan are
made available from authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of
common stock reacquired by us, including shares repurchased on the open market.
Should an option expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full,
the shares subject to the portion of the option not so exercised will be
available for subsequent issuance under the 1998 plan. Unvested shares issued
under the 1998 plan and subsequently repurchased by us will be added back to
the share reserve and will accordingly be available for subsequent issuance
under the 1998 plan.

   As of December 31, 1999, options for 1,830,234 shares of common stock were
outstanding under the 1998 plan, no options had been exercised and an
additional 248,157 shares had been issued directly under the stock issuance
program. As of April 14, 2000, 84,557 shares of common stock remained available
for future issuance under the 1998 plan.

   Our compensation committee has exclusive authority to administer the 1998
plan with respect to option grants and stock issuances made to our executive
officers and non-employee board members. The compensation committee and a
secondary committee of one or more board members will each have separate but
concurrent authority to make option grants and stock issuances under those
programs to all other eligible individuals. The term "plan administrator," as
used in this description of the 1998 plan, will mean either the compensation
committee or the secondary committee, to the extent each such entity is acting
in its capacity as administrator of the 1998 plan.

   The plan is divided into two separate components:

  .  the option grant program under which eligible individuals may, at the
     discretion of the 1998 plan administrator, be granted options to
     purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price not less than 85%
     of their fair market value on the grant date; and

  .  the stock issuance program under which such individuals may, at the
     discretion of the 1998 plan administrator, be issued shares of common
     stock directly through the purchase of vested or unvested shares at a
     price not less than 85% of their fair market value at the time of
     issuance or as a fully-vested bonus for past services rendered to us.

   The shares subject to each option granted under the option grant program and
unvested shares issued under the stock issuance program will vest in one or
more installments over the recipient's period of service with us. However, no
vesting schedule will be at a rate less than 20% per year, with the initial
vesting to occur no later than one year after the grant date of the option or
the issue date of the unvested shares. No granted option may have a term in
excess of ten years, and each granted option will be subject to earlier
termination within a designated period following the optionee's cessation of
service with us.

   The exercise price may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock. Options
may also be exercised for vested shares through a same-day sale program,
pursuant to which a designated brokerage firm effects the immediate sale of
those shares and pays over to us, out of the sale proceeds available on the
settlement date,

                                       7
<PAGE>

sufficient funds to cover the exercise price for the purchased shares. In
addition, the plan administrator may provide financial assistance to one or
more participants in connection with the exercise of their outstanding options
or the purchase of their unvested shares by allowing such individuals to
deliver a full-recourse, interest-bearing promissory note in payment of the
exercise or purchase price and any associated withholding taxes incurred in
connection with such exercise or purchase.

   The plan administrator has the authority to effect the cancellation of
outstanding options under the option grant program in return for the grant of
new options for the same or different number of option shares with an exercise
price per share based upon the fair market value of the common stock on the new
grant date.

   Our board may amend or modify the 1998 plan at any time. The 1998 plan will
terminate on June 22, 2007, unless sooner terminated by our board or in
connection with an acquisition of us in which the 1998 plan is not assumed by
the acquiring entity.

   The 1998 plan was amended by our board of directors on February 2, 2000 to
increase the number of shares of common stock available thereunder from
2,230,400 to 2,930,400, subject to the approval of our stockholders. We believe
that we have been successful in the past in attracting and retaining qualified
employees, officers and directors in part because of our ability to offer such
persons options to purchase common stock. We believe that the increase in the
number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the plan is necessary for us
to continue to attract and retain qualified employees, officers and directors.
As of May 4, 2000, no options have been granted with respect to these increased
shares.

   Assuming approval of the proposed amendment to the plan and after giving
effect thereto, there would be 784,557 shares of common stock available for
issuance under the 1998 plan.

Board Recommendation

   The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our shares of common
stock present and voting, in person or by proxy, at the meeting is required for
approval of this proposal. Our board recommends a vote FOR such proposal.

                                  PROPOSAL III

                    ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

   Our stockholders are being asked to approve our new Employee Stock Purchase
Plan under which 100,000 shares of our common stock will initially be reserved
for issuance. The purchase plan was adopted by our board of directors on
February 2, 2000 and will become effective on June 15, 2000, provided this
proposal is approved at the meeting. Our board believes that it is in our best
interests to provide a program of stock ownership to our employees in order to
provide them with a meaningful opportunity to acquire a substantial proprietary
interest in us and thereby encourage such individuals to remain in our service
and more closely align their interests with those of the stockholders. A copy
of the purchase plan is attached to this proxy statement as Exhibit A.

   The purchase plan is designed to allow our eligible employees and employees
of our participating affiliates (whether now existing or subsequently
established) to purchase shares of our common stock at semi-annual intervals
through their accumulated periodic payroll deductions under the purchase plan.

Administration

   The purchase plan will be administered by our compensation committee. Such
committee, as plan administrator, will have full authority to adopt
administrative rules and procedures and to interpret the provisions of the
purchase plan.

                                       8
<PAGE>

   All costs incurred in the administration of the purchase plan will be paid
by us.

Securities Subject to the Purchase Plan

   The number of shares of common stock initially reserved for issuance under
the purchase plan will be limited to 100,000 shares. This share reserve will
automatically increase on the first trading day of January each calendar year,
beginning with calendar year 2001, by an amount equal to 1% of the total number
of shares of common stock outstanding on the last trading day of December in
the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event will any such annual
increase exceed 100,000 shares.

   The shares issuable under the purchase plan may be made available from
authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or from shares of common
stock repurchased by us, including shares repurchased on the open market.

   In the event that any change is made to the outstanding common stock
(whether by reason of any recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split,
exchange or combination of shares or other change in corporate structure
effected without us receiving consideration therefor), appropriate adjustments
will be made to:

  .  the maximum number and class of securities issuable under the purchase
     plan;

  .  the maximum number and class of securities by which the share reserve is
     to increase automatically each year;

  .  the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per participant
     on any one purchase date; and

  .  the number and class of securities and the price per share in effect
     under each outstanding purchase right.

Such adjustments will be designed to preclude any dilution or enlargement of
benefits under the purchase plan or the outstanding purchase rights thereunder.

Offering Periods and Purchase Rights

   Shares of common stock will be offered under the purchase plan through a
series of successive offering periods, each with a maximum duration of six
months. However, the initial offering period will be of seven and one-half
months duration and will begin on June 15, 2000 and end on the last business
day in January 2001. Subsequent offering periods will begin on the first
business day of February and August each year, beginning with the February 1,
2001 offering period.

   At the time the participant joins the offering period, he or she will be
granted a purchase right to acquire shares of common stock on the purchase date
in effect for that offering period. The purchase date for the offering period
beginning on the first business day of February each year will occur on the
last business day of July of that year, and the purchase date for the offering
period beginning on the first business day of August each year will occur on
the last business day of January in the following year. However, the initial
purchase date under the purchase plan will be January 29, 2001.

Eligibility and Participation

   Any individual who is employed on a basis under which he or she is regularly
expected to work for more than 20 hours per week for more than five months per
calendar year in our employ or in that of any participating parent or
subsidiary corporation (including any corporation that subsequently becomes
such at any time during the term of the purchase plan) is eligible to
participate in the purchase plan.

   An individual who is an eligible employee on the start date of any offering
period may join that offering period at that time (the first business day in
February or August each year). An individual who first becomes an

                                       9
<PAGE>

eligible employee after such start date may join the purchase plan on the start
date of any subsequent offering period on which he or she remains such an
eligible employee.

   As of April 14, 2000, approximately 56 employees, including four executive
officers, were eligible to participate in the purchase plan.

Purchase Price

   The purchase price of the common stock acquired on the purchase date for
each offering period will be equal to 85% of the lower of:

  .  the fair market value per share of common stock on the start date of
     that offering period; or

  .  the fair market value on the purchase date for such offering period.

   The fair market value per share of our common stock on any particular date
under the purchase plan will be deemed to be equal to the closing sales price
on such date on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. On April 14, 2000, the closing
sales price of our common stock on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $8.59.

Payroll Deductions and Stock Purchases

   Each participant may authorize periodic payroll deductions, subject to
certain limitations discussed below, in any multiple of 1% (up to a maximum of
15%) of his or her total cash compensation (base salary plus bonus, overtime
and commissions) for the offering period to be applied to the acquisition of
common stock on the purchase date for that offering period. Accordingly, on
such purchase date (the last business day in January or July each year), the
accumulated payroll deductions of each participant will automatically be
applied to the purchase of whole shares of common stock at the purchase price
in effect for the offering period ending on such date.

Special Limitations

   The purchase plan imposes certain limitations upon a participant's rights to
acquire common stock, including the following limitations:

  .  Purchase rights granted to a participant may not permit such individual
     to purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock (valued at the time
     each purchase right is granted) for each calendar year during which
     those purchase rights are outstanding.

  .  Purchase rights may not be granted to any individual if such individual
     would, immediately after the grant, own or hold outstanding options or
     other rights to purchase, stock possessing 5% or more of the total
     combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or
     any of its affiliates.

  .  No participant may purchase more than 2,000 shares of common stock on
     any one purchase date.

Termination of Purchase Rights

   The participant may withdraw from the purchase plan at any time, and his or
her accumulated payroll deductions will, at the participant's election, either
be refunded or applied to the purchase of shares on the purchase date for the
offering period in which such withdrawal occurs.

   The participant's purchase right will immediately terminate upon his or her
cessation of employment or loss of eligible employee status. Any payroll
deductions that the participant may have made for the offering period in which
such cessation of employment or loss of eligibility occurs will be refunded and
will not be applied to the purchase of common stock.


                                       10
<PAGE>

Stockholder Rights

   No participant will have any stockholder rights with respect to the shares
covered by his or her purchase rights until the shares are actually purchased
on the participant's behalf. No adjustment will be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of
such purchase.

Assignability

   No purchase rights will be assignable or transferable by the participant,
and the purchase rights will be exercisable only by the participant.

Change in Control or Ownership

   In the event we are acquired by merger, sale of substantially all of our
assets or sale of securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined
voting power of our outstanding securities, all outstanding purchase rights
will automatically be exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such
acquisition. The purchase price will be equal to 85% of the lower of:

  .  the fair market value per share of common stock on the start date of the
     offering period in which such acquisition occurs; or

  .  the fair market value per share of common stock immediately prior to
     such acquisition.

The limitation on the maximum number of shares purchasable per participant on
any one purchase date will continue to be applicable to any purchase date
attributable to such an acquisition.

Share Proration

   Should the total number of shares of common stock to be purchased pursuant
to outstanding purchase rights on any particular date exceed the number of
shares then available for issuance under the purchase plan, then the plan
administrator will make a pro rata allocation of the available shares on a
uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll deductions of each
participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable
for the common stock pro-rated to such individual, will be refunded.

Amendment and Termination

   The purchase plan will terminate upon the earliest of:

  .  the last business day in January 2010;

  .  the date on which all shares available for issuance thereunder are sold
     pursuant to exercised purchase rights; or

  .  the date on which all purchase rights are exercised in connection with
     our acquisition.

   Our board may at any time alter, suspend or discontinue the purchase plan.
However, our board may not, without stockholder approval:

  .  increase the number of shares issuable under the purchase plan;

  .  alter the purchase price formula so as to reduce the purchase price; or

  .  modify the requirements for eligibility to participate in the purchase
     plan.

Federal Tax Consequences

   The purchase plan is intended to be an "employee stock purchase plan" within
the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under a plan which so
qualifies, no taxable income will be recognized by a

                                       11
<PAGE>

participant, and no deductions will be allowable to us, upon either the grant
or the exercise of the purchase rights. Taxable income will not be recognized
by the participant until there is a sale or other disposition of the shares
acquired under the purchase plan or in the event the participant should die
while still owning the purchased shares.

   If the participant sells or otherwise disposes of the purchased shares
within two years after the start date of the offering period in which such
shares were acquired or within one year after the purchase date on which those
shares were actually acquired, then the participant will recognize ordinary
income in the year of sale or disposition equal to the amount by which the fair
market value of the shares on the purchase date exceeds the purchase price paid
for those shares, and we will be entitled to an income tax deduction, for the
taxable year in which such disposition occurs, equal to the amount of such
excess.

   If the participant sells or disposes of the purchased shares more than two
years after the start date of the offering period in which the shares are
acquired and more than one year after the purchase date of those shares, then
the participant will recognize ordinary income in the year of sale or
disposition equal to the lesser of:

  .  the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the sale or
     disposition date exceeds the purchase price paid for those shares; or

  .  the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the start
     date of that offering period exceeds the purchase price paid for those
     shares, and

any additional gain upon the disposition will be taxed as a long-term capital
gain. We will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to such
disposition.

   If the participant still owns the purchased shares at the time of death, the
lesser of:

  .  the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the date of
     death exceeds the purchase price; or

  .  the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the start
     date of that offering period exceeds the purchase price paid for those
     shares

will constitute ordinary income in the year of death.

Accounting Treatment

   Under current accounting principles applicable to employee stock purchase
plans qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, the issuance of
common stock under the purchase plan will not result in a compensation expense
chargeable against our reported earnings. However, we must disclose, in pro-
forma statements to our financial statements, the impact the purchase rights
granted under the purchase plan would have upon our reported earnings were the
value of those purchase rights treated as compensation expense.

Board Recommendation

   The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our shares of common
stock present and voting, in person or by proxy, at the meeting is required for
approval of this proposal. Our board recommends a vote FOR such proposal.

Employment Agreements

   On October 22, 1998, we entered into employment agreements with Mr. Keller
and Ms. Ford that provide, for a term of two years, annual base salaries of
$140,000 and $130,000, respectively, and eligibility to receive bonuses at the
discretion of our board. Such agreements contain provisions for bonuses upon
achievement of milestones set forth in such agreements, non-competition for the
term of each agreement and confidentiality. The base salaries are subject to
change at the discretion of our board. Mr. Keller and Ms. Ford also are
entitled to participate in any of our pension, insurance or benefit plans,
including our stock option plans. Each employment agreement also provides for a
severance payment in the amount of one year's compensation in the event that
the employee is terminated by us without cause, or the employee resigns for
Good Reason (as defined in the agreement) during the employment term. Good
Reason includes, among other things, the failure of a successor to us to assume
the employment agreements in connection with change in control transactions
such as a merger, consolidation or a sale of all or substantially all of our
assets. Good Reason also includes substantial changes in the duties, position,
compensation and location of the employment.


1996 Stock Option Plan

   Our 1996 Stock Option Plan was adopted by both our board and stockholders on
May 30, 1996. The 1996 plan provides for the granting of options that are
intended to qualify either as incentive stock options within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or as nonstatutory stock options that
are not intended to meet the requirements of such section. The total number of
shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 1996 plan is
187,500. Options to purchase shares may be granted under the 1996 plan to
persons who, in the case of incentive stock options, are our employees,
including officers, or, in the case of nonstatutory stock options, are our
employees, including officers, or our non-employee directors.

   The 1996 plan provides for its administration by our board or a committee
chosen by our board, which has discretionary authority, subject to restriction,
to determine the number of shares issued pursuant to incentive stock options
and nonstatutory stock options and the individuals to whom, the times at which,
and the exercise price for which, options will be granted.

   The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the 1996
plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date
of the grant or, in the case of incentive stock options granted to the holder
of more than 10% of our common stock, at least 110% of the fair market value of
such shares on the date of the grant. The maximum exercise period for which
incentive stock options may be granted is ten years from the date of grant, or
five years in the case of an individual owning more than 10% of our common
stock. The aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which
incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the holder of the
option during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. The aggregate fair
market value is determined at the date of the option grant. We have granted no
options to date under the 1996 plan.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of Securities Exchange Act

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers
and directors, as well as those persons who own more than 10% of our common
stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.
These persons are required by SEC rule to furnish us with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.

   Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms, or written
representations from certain reporting persons that no such forms were
required, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, all
filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10%
owners of our common stock were complied with.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

   As of August 20, 1998, Mr. Keller, our Chairman and President, sold 55,760
shares of our common stock to Mr. Bradlee, one of our former executive
officers, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,500 evidenced by a full-
recourse note secured by the shares purchased. The note bore interest at the
rate of 5.41% per annum, compounded semi-annually. The 55,760 shares originally
were subject to Mr. Keller's right of repurchase which began to lapse November
20, 1998 in a series of 45 successive, equal monthly installments upon Mr.
Bradlee's

                                       17
<PAGE>

completion of each month of service with us. In addition, Mr. Keller had a
right of first refusal exercisable in connection with any proposed transfer of
such shares for which the repurchase right has lapsed. Upon the end of Mr.
Bradlee's employment with us in May 1999, Mr. Keller repurchased 48,324 of such
shares by forgiving $6,500 of the note.

   As of August 20, 1998, Mr. Keller sold 13,940 shares of our common stock to
Mr. Klein, one of our directors, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,875. The
13,940 shares are subject to Mr. Keller's right of repurchase which began to
lapse November 20, 1998 in a series of 21 successive, equal monthly
installments upon Mr. Klein's completion of each month of consulting services
to us. In addition, Mr. Keller has a right of first refusal exercisable in
connection with any proposed transfer of such shares for which the repurchase
right has lapsed.

   As of August 20, 1998, Eric Kim, then one of our directors, and Messrs.
Dilworth and Klein, each one of our directors, were each issued 41,820 shares
of our common stock under our stock option plan at a purchase price of $0.135
per share. Such shares are subject to our right of repurchase which began to
lapse November 20, 1998 in a series of 45 successive, equal monthly
installments upon completion of each month of service on our board until May
2000. On September 30, 1999, Mr. Kim resigned as a director and we purchased
30,668 shares of our common stock from Mr. Kim for $4,294.

   In March 1998, Spencer Trask Investors, an affiliate of Spencer Trask,
purchased 278,800 shares of our common stock from us for an aggregate purchase
price of $25,000. Concurrently with such transaction, Spencer Trask Investors
loaned us $475,000 evidenced by a convertible promissory note, bearing interest
at a rate of 10% per annum. The convertible promissory note was redeemed by us
on January 27, 1999.

   In March 1998, Spencer Trask Investors, entered into a sale arrangement with
Mr. Keller and Ms. Ford, our Executive Vice President, Marketing and Sales,
with respect to the sale of an aggregate of 1,951,600 shares of our common
stock for aggregate consideration of $3,500,000, comprised of $200,000 cash, a
non-recourse promissory note in the principal amount of $800,000 which became
due on January 20, 1999, a non-recourse promissory note in the principal amount
of $1,000,000 which became due on July 20, 1999, and a non-recourse promissory
note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 which became due on January 20,
2000. Each of the foregoing notes bore interest at the rate of 6% per annum,
was payable quarterly, and each note was secured by a pledge of the shares
purchased, with one share pledged for each $1.79 of principal amount. The
shares of our common stock pledged with respect to each note were placed in
escrow until payment in full of the principal and accrued interest of the note
representing the purchase price of such shares. The $800,000 note was paid by
Spencer Trask Investors and the 446,080 shares pledged with respect to such
note were released from escrow on January 20, 1999. The $1,000,000 note was
paid by Spencer Trask Investors and the 557,600 shares pledged with respect to
such note were released from escrow on July 20, 1999. The $1,500,000 note was
paid by Spencer Trask Investors and the 836,400 shares pledged with respect to
such note were released from escrow on January 20, 2000.

   In connection with the issuance and sale by us of an aggregate of 2,878,815
shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,162,868 in
three separate closings, the final such closing occurring January 27, 1999 (the
"private placement"), we entered into a placement agency agreement, dated
September 2, 1998, with Spencer Trask. Pursuant to the placement agency
agreement, Spencer Trask received a fee equal to 10% of the aggregate offering
price for our common stock sold in the private placement. In addition, we
issued to Spencer Trask the warrants to purchase our common stock. Spencer
Trask, together with its affiliates, holds an aggregate of 1,686,461 shares of
our common stock and warrants to purchase 880,427 shares of our common stock.

   Thomas A. Bevilacqua (a former director), together with his wife, Therese
Mrozek, currently a partner in the law firm of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP,
purchased 2,788 shares of our common stock in the private placement for an
aggregate purchase price of $5,000 and Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP
purchased 27,880 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000.

   Spencer Trask Investors and Mr. Keller, upon the commencement of the private
placement, loaned $200,000 and $100,000, respectively, to us pursuant to
convertible promissory notes which bore interest at 8% per annum and matured at
the earlier of the first closing of the private placement or 12 months from the
date of the notes. Spencer Trask converted the $200,000 note into 111,520
shares of our common stock on December 31, 1998 and we paid the $100,000 note
held by Mr. Keller on that same date. In addition, Spencer Trask Investors was
issued, upon the commencement of the private placement, a warrant to purchase
55,760 shares of our common stock at $1.79 per share, and Mr. Keller was issued
a warrant to purchase 27,880 shares of our common stock at $1.79 per share.

   In consideration of consulting services performed in connection with the
merger between us and GraphOn-CA, we issued to Spencer Trask in July 1999 Class
A redeemable common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to
250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share, and
paid Spencer Trask a fee of $575,000.

   We paid Unity Venture Capital Associates ("Unity VCA") between June 1996 and
July 1999 a monthly fee of $7,500 for general and administrative services. Such
fee included the use of approximately 500 square feet of office space in
premises occupied by Unity VCA. Dalessio Miliner & Leben, an accounting firm
which is an affiliate of a then director of us, afforded Unity VCA the use of
such space at a monthly rental of $2,000. Three former directors of GraphOn are
each directors and/or stockholders of Unity VCA. The agreement with Unity VCA
has been terminated.

                              GRAPHON CORPORATION

                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

   This Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests of
GraphOn Corporation, a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible employees
with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation
through participation in a payroll deduction-based employee stock purchase plan
designed to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.

   Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the attached Appendix.

II. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

   The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and construe
any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for
administering the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to comply with the
requirements of Code Section 423. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be
final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.

III. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

   A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock purchased
on the open market. The number of shares of Common Stock initially reserved for
issuance over the term of the Plan shall be limited to 100,000 shares.

   B. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January each
calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2002,
by an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the immediately
preceding calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed
100,000 shares.

   C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class
without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments
shall be made to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under
the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per
Participant on any one Purchase Date, (iii) the maximum number and/or class of
securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each
calendar year pursuant to the provisions of Section III.B of this Article One
and (iv) the number and class of securities and the price per share in effect
under each outstanding purchase right in order to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of benefits thereunder.

IV. OFFERING PERIODS

   A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan
through a series of successive offering periods until such time as (i) the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan
shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated.

   B. Each offering period shall have a duration of six (6) months. Offering
periods shall run from the first business day in February to the last business
day in July each year and from the first business day in August each year to
the last business day in January of the following year. However, the initial
offering period shall commence on June 15, 2000 and terminate on the last
business day in January 2001.

V. ELIGIBILITY

   A. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the start date of any
offering period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan for that offering
period.

   B. To participate in the Plan for a particular offering period, the Eligible
Employee must complete the enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan
Administrator (including a stock purchase agreement and a payroll deduction
authorization) and file such forms with the Plan Administrator (or its
designate) on or before the start date of the offering period.

VI. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

   A. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of
acquiring shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be any multiple of one
percent (1%) of the Cash Earnings paid to the Participant during each offering
period, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%). The deduction rate so
authorized shall continue in effect throughout an offering period and for each
subsequent offering period the Participant remains in the Plan, except to the
extent such rate is changed in accordance with the following guidelines:

     (i) The Participant may, at any time during the offering period, reduce
  his or her rate of payroll deduction to become effective as soon as
  possible after filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The
  Participant may not, however, effect more than one (1) such reduction per
  offering period.

     (ii) The Participant may, prior to the commencement of any new offering
  period increase the rate of his or her payroll deduction by filing a new
  payroll deduction authorization with the Plan Administrator. The new rate
  (which may not exceed the fifteen percent (15%) maximum) shall become
  effective on the start date of the first offering period following the
  filing of such form.

   B. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day administratively
feasible following the start date of the offering period and shall (unless
sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day ending with
or immediately prior to the last day of the offering period. The amounts so
collected shall be credited to the Participant's book account under the Plan,
but no interest shall be paid on the balance from time to time outstanding in
such account. The amounts collected from the Participant shall not be required
to be held in any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with
the general assets of the Corporation and used for general corporate purposes.

   C. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of the
Participant's purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

   D. The Participant's acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any
Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant's acquisition of
Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase Date.

VII.  PURCHASE RIGHTS

   A. Grant of Purchase Rights. A Participant shall be granted a separate
purchase right for each offering period in which he or she participates. The
purchase right shall be granted on the start date of the offering period and
shall provide the Participant with the right to purchase shares of Common Stock
on the Purchase Date for that offering period upon the terms set forth below.
The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such terms
and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan
Administrator may deem advisable.

   Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan to
any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant,
own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or
other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation
or any Corporate Affiliate.

                                      E-2
<PAGE>

   B. Exercise of the Purchase Right. Each purchase right shall be
automatically exercised on the Purchase Date for the offering period to which
that right pertains, and shares of Common Stock shall accordingly be purchased
on behalf of each Participant on such date. The purchase shall be effected by
applying the Participant's payroll deductions for the offering period ending on
such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at the
purchase price in effect for the Participant for that offering period.

   C. Purchase Price. The purchase price per share at which Common Stock will
be purchased on the Participant's behalf on the Purchase Date for the offering
period in which the Participant is enrolled shall be equal to eighty-five
percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the start date of that offering period or (ii) the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock on such Purchase Date.

   D. Number of Purchasable Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable by a Participant on the Purchase Date for each offering period
shall be the number of whole shares obtained by dividing the amount collected
from the Participant through payroll deductions during that offering period by
the purchase price in effect for the Participant. However, the maximum number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date
shall not exceed 2,000 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of
certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization. However, the Plan
Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable prior to the
start of any offering period under the Plan, to increase or decrease the
limitations to be in effect for the number of shares purchasable per
Participant on the Purchase Date in effect for that offering period.

   E. Excess Payroll Deductions. Any payroll deductions not applied to the
purchase of shares of Common Stock on any Purchase Date because they are not
sufficient to purchase a whole share of Common Stock shall be held for the
purchase of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date. However, any payroll
deductions not applied to the purchase of Common Stock by reason of the
limitation on the maximum number of shares purchasable per Participant on any
one Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded.

   F. Termination of Purchase Right. The following provisions shall govern the
termination of outstanding purchase rights:

     (i) A Participant may, at any time prior to the end of any offering
  period, terminate his or her outstanding purchase right by filing the
  appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no
  further payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with
  respect to the terminated purchase right. Any payroll deductions collected
  during the offering period in which such termination occurs shall, at the
  Participant's election, be immediately refunded or held for the purchase of
  shares on the Purchase Date in effect for that offering period. If no such
  election is made at the time such purchase right is terminated, then the
  payroll deductions collected with respect to the terminated right shall be
  refunded as soon as possible.

     (ii) The termination of such purchase right shall be irrevocable, and
  the Participant may not subsequently rejoin the offering period for which
  the terminated purchase right was granted. In order to resume participation
  in any subsequent offering period, such individual must re-enroll in the
  Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or
  before the start date of the new offering period.

     (iii) Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee for
  any reason (including death, disability or change in status) while his or
  her purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right shall
  immediately terminate, and all of the Participant's payroll deductions for
  the offering period in which the purchase right so terminates shall be
  immediately refunded. However, should the Participant cease to remain in
  active service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the
  Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last business
  day of the offering period in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw
  all the payroll deductions collected to date on his or her behalf for that
  offering period or

                                      E-3
<PAGE>

  (b) have such funds held for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on
  the next scheduled Purchase Date. In no event, however, shall any further
  payroll deductions be collected on the Participant's behalf during such
  leave. Upon the Participant's return to active service (x) within ninety
  (90) days following the commencement of such leave or (y) prior to the
  expiration of any longer period for which such Participant's right to
  reemployment with the Corporation is guaranteed by statute or contract, his
  or her payroll deductions under the Plan shall automatically resume at the
  rate in effect at the time the leave began, unless the Participant
  withdraws from the Plan prior to his or her return. An individual who
  returns to active employment following a leave of absence that exceeds in
  duration the applicable (x) or (y) time period will be treated as a new
  Employee for purposes of subsequent participation in the Plan and must
  accordingly re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the
  prescribed enrollment forms) on or before the start date of the next
  scheduled offering period.

   G. Change in Control. Each outstanding purchase right shall automatically be
exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any Change in Control, by
applying the payroll deductions of each Participant for the offering period in
which such Change in Control occurs to the purchase of whole shares of Common
Stock at a purchase price per share equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the
lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the start date
of the offering period in which such Change in Control occurs or (ii) the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date
of such Change in Control. However, the applicable limitation on the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date
shall continue to apply to any such purchase.

   The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten (10)
days' prior written notice of the occurrence of any Change in Control, and
Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to
terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the
Change in Control.

   H. Proration of Purchase Rights. Should the total number of shares of Common
Stock to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights on any particular
date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan,
the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the available shares
on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll deductions of each
Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable
for the Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall be refunded.

   I. Assignability. The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the
Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.

   J. Stockholder Rights. A Participant shall have no stockholder rights with
respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right until
the shares are purchased on the Participant's behalf in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of the
purchased shares.

VIII. ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

   A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common Stock
pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the extent
such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock accrued
under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and (ii) similar rights
accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of Code
Section 423)) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate, would otherwise
permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000.00) worth of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate
(determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or
dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any
time outstanding.

   B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase rights
granted under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect:

     (i) The right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding purchase
  right shall accrue on the Purchase Date in effect for that offering period.

                                      E-4
<PAGE>

     (ii) No right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding purchase
  right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already accrued in the
  same calendar year the right to acquire Common Stock under one (1) or more
  other purchase rights at a rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
  ($25,000.00) worth of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the Fair
  Market Value per share on the date or dates of grant) for each calendar
  year such rights were at any time outstanding.

   C. If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a
Participant does not accrue for a particular offering period, then the payroll
deductions that the Participant made during that offering period with respect
to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded.

   D. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article
and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued thereunder, the
provisions of this Article shall be controlling.

IX. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

   A. The Plan was adopted by the Board on February 2, 2000, and shall become
effective at the Effective Time, provided no purchase rights granted under the
Plan shall be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued
hereunder, until (i) the Plan shall have been approved by the stockholders of
the Corporation and (ii) the Corporation shall have complied with all
applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the
shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable
listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which the Common Stock is listed for trading and all other
applicable requirements established by law or regulation. In the event such
stockholder approval is not obtained, or such compliance is not effected,
within twelve (12) months after the date on which the Plan is adopted by the
Board, the Plan shall terminate and have no further force or effect, and all
sums collected from Participants during the initial offering period hereunder
shall be refunded.

   B. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate upon the
earliest of (i) the last business day in January 2010, (ii) the date on which
all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been sold pursuant
to purchase rights exercised under the Plan or (iii) the date on which all
purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Change in Control. No
further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no further payroll
deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such termination.

X. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

   A. The Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time to
become effective immediately following the close of any offering period.
However, the Plan may be amended or terminated immediately upon Board action,
if and to the extent necessary to assure that the Corporation will not
recognize, for financial reporting purposes, any compensation expense in
connection with the shares of Common Stock offered for purchase under the Plan,
should the financial accounting rules applicable to the Plan at the Effective
Time be subsequently revised so as to require the Corporation to recognize
compensation expense in the absence of such amendment or termination.

   B. In no event may the Board effect any of the following amendments or
revisions to the Plan without the approval of the Corporation's stockholders:
(i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan,
except for permissible adjustments in the event of certain changes in the
Corporation's capitalization, (ii) alter the purchase price formula so as to
reduce the purchase price payable for the shares of Common Stock purchasable
under the Plan or (iii) modify the eligibility requirements for participation
in the Plan.

XI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

   A. All costs and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall
be paid by the Corporation; however, each Plan Participant shall bear all costs
and expenses incurred by such individual in the sale or other disposition of
any shares purchased under the Plan.

                                      E-5
<PAGE>

   B. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to
continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate for any
period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way
the rights of the Corporation (or any Corporate Affiliate employing such
person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by
each, to terminate such person's employment at any time for any reason, with or
without cause.

   C. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of
California without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.
