ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation
to include in its charter documents, and in agreements between the corporation
and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of
indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the current law.

     Article XI of Turnstone Systems' restated certificate of incorporation
provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible
under Delaware law.

     Article VI of Turnstone Systems' bylaws provides for the indemnification of
officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of Turnstone Systems if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and
not opposed to the best interest of Turnstone Systems, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful.

     Turnstone Systems has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in
Turnstone Systems' bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements
with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     Since our incorporation in January 1998, we have issued unregistered
securities to a limited number of persons as described below.

     None of these transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting
discounts or commissions, or any public offering, and we believe that each
transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof, Regulation D promulgated thereunder or Rule
701 pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to
compensation as provided under such Rule 701. The recipients of securities in
each such transaction represented their intention 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 and instruments issued in such transactions. All recipients had
adequate access, through their relationships with Turnstone Systems, to
information about Turnstone Systems.

                                      II-1

     1. In January 1998, we issued and sold 16,951,000 shares of common stock to
        founders for an aggregate purchase price of $8,475.50. These
        transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the
        Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) in that the shares were issued
        to our three founders, each of whom is an officer of Turnstone Systems.

     2. Pursuant to our 1998 stock plan, from inception to December 31, 1999 we
        issued and sold an aggregate of 5,862,824 shares of common stock to
        certain employees, officers, directors and consultants for an aggregate
        purchase price of $1,197,229.40. These transactions were exempt from the
        registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Rule 701.

     3. On January 12, 1998 and February 27, 1998, we issued and sold a total of
        11,680,000 shares of Series A preferred stock to a total of 13 investors
        for an aggregate purchase price of $5,840,000. These transactions were
        exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by
        virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D based on the representations of
        each of the investors that it was accredited under Rule 501.

     4. On June 1, 1998, in connection with a credit facility, we issued to one
        party a warrant to purchase 45,000 shares of our Series A preferred
        stock for an aggregate exercise price of $22,500. This transaction was
        exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by
        virtue of Section 4(2) in that the issuance was made to an investor
        which was a sophisticated financial institution.

     5. One July 29, 1998, in connection with certain equipment leases, we
        issued to one party a warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of our Series A
        preferred stock for an aggregate exercise price of $45,000. This
        transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the
        Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) in that the issuance was made
        to an investor, which was a sophisticated financial institution.

     6. On January 12, 1999 and June 21, 1999, we issued and sold a total of
        3,176,930 shares of Series B preferred stock to a total of 12 investors
        for an aggregate purchase price of $6,195,013.50. These transactions
        were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by
        virtue of Section 4(2) and Regulation D based on the representations of
        each of the investors that it was accredited under Rule 501.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     Insofar as indemnification by Turnstone Systems for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of Turnstone Systems pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of
this registration statement or otherwise, Turnstone Systems 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 Turnstone Systems of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of
Turnstone Systems in the

                                      II-3
<PAGE>   6

successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered
hereunder, Turnstone Systems 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 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.

     Turnstone Systems hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, 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 Turnstone Systems 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.

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act, 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.
