                          AGILE SOFTWARE CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of July 31,
1999 and for the three months ended July 31, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited and
reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for their fair presentation. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999. The
results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other
period.

2.   Revenue Recognition

     The Company derives revenues from the license of software products under
software license agreements and from the delivery of professional services and
maintenance services. When contracts contain multiple elements, and vendor
specific objective evidence exists for all undelivered elements, the Company
accounts for the delivered elements in accordance with the "Residual Method"
prescribed by Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-9. License revenues are
recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed
or determinable, collectibility is probable, and delivery and customer
acceptance, if required under the terms of the contract, of the software
products have occurred. In the event the Company grants its customers the right
to specified upgrades, license revenue is deferred until delivery of the
specified upgrade. If vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists
for the specified upgrade, then an amount equal to this fair value is deferred.
If vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist, then the
entire license fee is deferred until the delivery of the specified upgrade. A
provision for the estimated losses on fixed-price contracts is recognized in the
period in which the loss becomes known. Allowances for estimated returns are
provided upon product delivery. In instances where vendor obligations remain,
revenues are deferred until the obligation has been satisfied. Revenues from
professional services consist of implementation and training services. Training
revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Implementation services
are typically performed under fixed-price contracts and accordingly, revenues
are recognized upon customer acceptance. Maintenance contracts include the right
to unspecified upgrades on a when-and-if available basis, and ongoing support.
Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance
contract, which is generally twelve months.

3.   Net Loss Per Share

     Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to
holders of Common Stock for the period by the weighted average number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is
computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number
of shares of Common Stock number and potential shares of Common Stock. The
calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential shares of Common
Stock if their effect is antidilutive. Potential shares of Common Stock consist
of unvested restricted Common Stock, incremental shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the Company's Series A, Series B, Series C,
Series D and Series F Convertible Preferred Stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss
per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

</TABLE>

     At July 31, 1999 14,374,000 potential common shares are excluded from the
determination of diluted net loss per share as the effect of such shares is
antidilutive.

4.   Comprehensive Income

     The Company reports components of comprehensive income (loss) in its annual
consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. Comprehensive income, as
defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-
owner sources. To date, the Company has not had any significant transactions
that are required to be reported in comprehensive income.

5.   Segment Information

     The Company identifies its operating segments based on business activities,
management responsibility and geographical location. During the quarters ended
July 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company operated in a single business segment,
primarily in the United States. Through July 31, 1999, foreign operations were
not significant in either revenue or investment in long-lived assets.

6.   Initial Public Offering

     In August 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering of
3,450,000 shares of Common Stock (including the exercise of the underwriters'
overallotment option)at $21.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company, before
offering expenses, were $67.4 million or $19.53 per share. Simultaneous with the
closing of the initial public offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 665,641
shares of Common Stock at $19.53 per share in private placements to Dell
Computer Corporation, Flextronics International Ltd., and Marshall Industries.

7.   Stock Option Grants

     During the period from August 1, 1999 through its initial public offering,
the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 639,500 shares of Common
Stock at exercise prices ranging from $10.00 to $19.00 per share. The Company
expects to record additional unearned stock compensation with respect to these
stock option grants of approximately $1.2 million. In addition, during August
1999, the Company granted 65,000 options to consultants. The Company will
account for these options under variable plan accounting and has calculated the
fair value of these options on the date of grant of at least $1.1 million using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 with the
following underlying assumptions: expected volatility of 50%, risk-free interest
rate of 5.9% and option terms of ten years. The Company will record an expense
relating to these options each quarter over the five-year vesting period of the
options.

                                       5

8.   Borrowings

     At July 31, 1999 the Company had $3.0 million outstanding of subordinated
notes payable which bear interest at an annual rate of 11.75% and are payable
through fiscal 2002. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from its initial
public offering to prepay these subordinated notes payable in their entirety on
August 31, 1999. At July 31, 1999, the Company had unamortized interest of
$232,000 related to warrants issued in connection with these subordinated notes
payable. As a result of the repayment of the subordinated notes payable, we will
recognize the unamortized interest balance as an expense in the quarter ended
October 31, 1999.

On July 17, 1999, the company renewed its existing line of credit through august
2000 and increased the line of credit to provide for borrowings of up to
$5,000,000, including $500,000 available for the issuance of letters of credit
and foreign currency exchange activity. Borrowings under the credit agreement
bear interest at an annual rate of 8.5%, subject to adjustment by the bank. The
interest rate was 8.5% at July 31, 1999. Borrowings under the line of credit are
secured by the assets of the Company. As of July 31, 1999 no amount was
outstanding under the line. In connection with this line-of-credit, the Company
is required to meet certain monthly financial tests, including a minimum
tangible net worth and a minimum quick ratio. At July 31, 1999, the Company was
in compliance with all financial covenants.

Item 2.

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

     The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements
are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any
statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of
certain events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a discrepancy include,
but are not limited to, those discussed in "Other Factors Affecting Operating
Results" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, as well as Risk Factors
included in the our Rule 424(b)(3) prospectus dated August 20, 1999, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be
read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

     We develop and market product content management software for the use
within and among companies in a manufacturing supply chain over the Internet.
Our suite of software products is designed to improve the ability of all members
of the supply chain to communicate and collaborate with one another about new or
changing information concerning the manufacture, source or supply of products or
components. We were founded in March 1995 and in June 1996 we began selling our
first products and delivering related services. We currently license our
products in the United States through our direct sales force, and in Europe
through our direct sales force and distributors. To date, revenues from
international sales have not been material. We have derived our revenues
principally from the licenses of our products, the delivery of professional
services and from maintenance contracts.

     Customers who license our software products receive a license for our
application servers, one or more user licenses, and third-party provided
adapters to connect with the customer's other existing enterprise systems. Our
customers generally purchase a limited number of user licenses at the time of
the initial license of the software products and may purchase additional user
licenses as needed. Customers may purchase implementation services from us.
These professional services are generally provided on a fixed-price basis and
are often provided by third-party consulting organizations. We also offer fee-
based training services to our customers. As of July 31, 1999, over 98% of our
customers who licensed our products had purchased maintenance contracts, which
provide unspecified software upgrades, on a when-and-if available basis, and
technical support over a stated term, which is generally a twelve-month period,
and over 90% of our customers had renewed their maintenance contracts. We cannot
assure you that we will continue to experience these rates of purchases of
maintenance agreements or renewals.

     We recognize revenue under Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions. When contracts contain
multiple elements and vendor-specific objective evidence exists for all
undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with
the "Residual Method" prescribed by SOP 98-9. Software licenses sold to new
customers are recognized as revenue upon installation and acceptance by the
customer. Software licenses sold to existing customers, or add-on sales, do not
include acceptance provisions and are recognized as revenue upon shipment of the
software product. In the event we grant our customers the right to specified
upgrades, license revenue is deferred until delivery of the specified upgrade.
If vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for the specified
upgrade, then an amount equal to this fair value is deferred. If vendor-specific
objective evidence of fair value does not exist for the specified upgrade, then
the entire license fee is deferred until the delivery of the specified upgrade.

                                       7
<PAGE>

For the quarter ended July 31, 1999, 53% of our license revenue was generated
from new customers, with the remaining license revenues attributable to existing
customers. For the quarter ended July 31, 1998, 81% of our license revenue was
generated from new customers, with the remaining license revenues attributable
to existing customers. Our professional services revenues consist of
implementation services which are recognized upon customer acceptance and
training revenues which are recognized as the services are performed. Our
maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period, generally
twelve months.

     Our cost of license revenues includes royalties due to third parties for
integrated technology, the cost of manuals and product documentation, production
media used to deliver our products and packaging costs. Our cost of professional
services revenues includes salaries and related expenses for the implementation
and training services organizations, costs of third parties contracted to
provide implementation services to customers and an allocation of our overhead
expenses. Our cost of maintenance revenues includes salaries and related
expenses for the customer support organization and an allocation of our overhead
expenses. The cost of professional services can fluctuate depending upon whether
more or less of the professional services are provided to our customers by us
rather than by third-party service providers. We generally provide
implementation services to our customers on a fixed-price basis. If we have to
engage independent contractors or third parties to provide these services on our
behalf, it is generally at higher cost resulting in a lower gross margin than if
we had provided the services to our customers ourselves. Therefore, our gross
margin from professional services may fluctuate based on who performs the
services and the actual cost to provide these services. Although services
revenues may increase in absolute dollars if we increase the professional
services we provide, services revenues have lower gross margins than license
revenues. Our overall gross profit can therefore fluctuate based on the mix of
license revenues compared to professional services revenues and maintenance
revenues.

     Our operating expenses are classified as sales and marketing, research and
development and general and administrative. We classify all charges to these
operating expense categories based on the nature of the expenditures. Although
each category includes expenses that are unique to the category type, there are
common recurring expenditures that are typically included in all operating
expenses categories, such as salaries, employee benefits, incentive
compensation, bonuses, travel costs, telephone, communication, rent and
allocated facilities costs and professional fees. The sales and marketing
category of operating expenses includes additional expenditures specific to the
marketing group, such as public relations and advertising, trade shows,
marketing collateral materials, and customer user group meetings and
expenditures specific to the sales group, such as commissions. To date, all
software development costs in research and development have been expensed as
incurred. Also included in our operating expenses is the amortization of stock
compensation described below.

     In connection with the granting of stock options to our employees, we have
recorded unearned stock compensation totaling approximately $13.6 million
through July 31, 1999, of which approximately $5.5 million was recorded in the
quarter ended July 31, 1999. As of July 31, 1999, approximately $9.0 million of
total unearned compensation expense recorded to date remains to be amortized. In
addition, we expect to record approximately $5.9 million of unearned stock
compensation in connection with the granting of stock options to our employees
from August 1, 1999 through the date of our initial public offering. Unearned
stock compensation represents the difference between the exercise price and the
current estimated fair value of our common stock on the date these stock options
were granted. This amount is included as a component of stockholders' equity and
is being amortized by charges to operations over the vesting period of the
options, consistent with the method described in Financial Accounting Standards
Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 28. We recognized amortization of unearned
stock compensation of $1.4 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 and
$444,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The amortization of the remaining
unearned stock compensation at July 31, 1999 will result in additional charges
to operations through fiscal 2005.

                                       8
<PAGE>

In addition, we granted options to consultants in August 1999 to purchase 65,000
shares of common stock. We expect to record at least $1.1 million in expense
related to the options over their related vesting period. We calculated the
minimum fair value of options granted to consultants on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 with the
following underlying assumptions: expected volatility of 50%, risk-free interest
rate of 5.9% and option terms of ten years. We are accounting for options
granted to consultants under variable plan accounting. The expense associated
with these options may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter through
fiscal 2005 based upon the fluctuation of our common stock price. The
amortization of stock compensation, both to employees and consultants, is
classified as a separate component of operating expenses in our consolidated
statement of operations.

     Although our total revenues have increased from quarter to quarter, we have
incurred significant costs to develop our products and to recruit and train
personnel for our engineering, sales, marketing, professional services and
administration departments. We intend to continue to incur significant sales and
marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. We
had 170 full-time employees as of July 31, 1999 compared to 156 full-time
employees as of April 30, 1999. We expect to continue to incur operating losses
for the foreseeable future. In order to achieve profitability, we will need to
increase our revenues significantly. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we
will ever attain or maintain profitability. Our expansion will also place
significant demands on our management and operational resources. To manage this
rapid growth and increased demands, we must improve existing and implement new
operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. We must also hire,
train, manage, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We expect future
expansion to continue to challenge our ability to hire, train, manage, retain
and motivate our employees.

     In view of the rapidly changing nature of our market and our limited
operating history, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues
and other operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be
relied upon as indications of future performance. Our historic revenue growth
rates are not necessarily sustainable or indicative of our future growth.

Revenues

Our total revenues were $5.9 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999
compared to $3.2 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1998, representing an
increase of $2.7 million or 82%. We had no customer that accounted for more than
10% of our total revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 or 1998.

     License Revenues. Our license revenues were $3.7 million for the quarter
ended July 31, 1999 compared to $2.3 million for the quarter ended July 31,
1998, representing an increase of $1.4 million or 61%. The increase in our
license revenues from the prior year's quarter was due to increased market
acceptance of our suite of products, including new versions of our products.
During the quarter ended July 31, 1999, we offered specified upgrade rights to
certain customers. As a result of offering these specified upgrade rights, we
deferred $238,000 of license revenue at July 31, 1999.

     Professional Services Revenues. Our professional services revenues were
$1.2 million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $655,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1998, representing an increase of $504,000 or 77%.
Professional services revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 20% in each
of the quarters ended July 31, 1999 and 1998. The absolute dollar increase in
professional services revenues is due to increased license revenues and an
increased range of services, consisting of additional data migration and
integration services. To date, a portion of our professional services revenues
relates to our invoicing for services provided by third parties. In the future,
we anticipate that an increasing percentage of professional services will be
provided by third parties who will invoice the customer directly. As a result,
we anticipate that professional services revenues will decline as a percentage
of total revenues.

     Maintenance Revenues. Our maintenance revenues were $1.1 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $316,000 for the quarter ended July 31,
1998, representing an increase of $761,000 or 240%. Maintenance revenues as a
percentage of total revenues were 18% for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 and
10% for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The increase in maintenance revenues
and maintenance revenues as a percentage of total revenues for the quarter ended
July 31, 1999 compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1998 was attributed to
increased licenses for our products.

     Cost of Revenues

     Cost of License Revenues. Cost of license revenues were $223,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $165,000 for the quarter ended July 31,
1998, representing an increase of $58,000 or 35%.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Cost of license revenues increased for the quarter ended July 31, 1999
compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1998 due to increased expenses associated
with the sub-licensing of third-party software used in our products.
Cost of license revenues as a percentage of total license revenues have
decreased as add-on licenses, which have a higher gross margin than initial
customer licenses, have increased as a percentage of total license revenues.

     Cost of Professional Services Revenues. Cost of professional services
revenues were $921,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $756,000
for the quarter ended July 31, 1998, representing an increase of $165,000 or
22%. The increase in cost for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to the
quarter ended July 31, 1998 was due to an increase in third-party professional
services personnel to support the increased customer base. In certain periods in
the past, and potentially in the future, our cost of professional services
revenues exceeded our professional services revenues, primarily because the
actual cost of providing the services, whether provided internally or through
third parties, exceeded the fixed price payment received from some of our
customers. In addition, as we increase the size of our professional services
staff, costs are incurred for new personnel before they become fully productive.

     Cost of Maintenance Revenues. Cost of maintenance revenues were $482,000
for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $237,000 for the quarter ended
July 31, 1998, representing an increase of $245,000 or 103%. Cost of maintenance
revenues as a percentage of maintenance revenues were 45% for the quarter ended
July 31, 1999 and 75% for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The decrease in cost
of maintenance revenues as a percentage of maintenance revenues for the quarter
ended July 31, 1999 compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1998 was due to
economies of scale realized as a result of increased management personnel and
experienced maintenance personnel.

     Operating Expenses

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $4.6 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended July
31, 1998, representing an increase of $2.1 million or 84%. Sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 77% for the quarter ended July
31, 1999 and 85% for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The increase in sales and
marketing expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to the quarter
ended July 31, 1998 reflect significant personnel-related expenses such as
salaries, benefits and commissions, recruiting fees, travel expenses and related
costs of hiring sales management, sales representatives, sales engineers and
marketing personnel. We anticipate that our sales and marketing expenses will
increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we expand our
domestic and international sales force.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $1.5
million for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $1.1 million for the
quarter ended July 31, 1998, representing an increase of $410,000 or 38%.
Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 25% for
the quarter ended July 31, 1999 and 33% for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. The
increase in research and development expenses for the quarter ended July 31,
1999 compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1998 was due to the increase in the
number of our software developers, quality assurance personnel and outside
contractors to support our product development, documentation and testing
activities related to the development and release of the latest versions of our
products. We anticipate that research and development expenses will continue to
increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to add to
our research and development staff.

                                       11
<PAGE>

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were
$753,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared to $431,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1998, representing an increase of $322,000 or 75%.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 13%
for each of the quarters ended July 31, 1999 and July 31, 1998. The increase in
general and administrative expense for the quarter ended July 31, 1999 compared
to the quarter ended July 31, 1998 was due to hiring additional finance,
executive and administrative personnel to support the growth of our business
during that period. We expect that general and administrative expenses will
increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we expand our
operations and incur the normal costs of a public company.

     Amortization of Stock Compensation. We recognized amortization of stock
compensation of approximately $1.4 million for the quarter July 31, 1999
compared to $444,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998.

     Interest Income(Expense), Net

     Interest income (expense), net, was $(127,000)for the quarter ended July
31, 1999 compared to $52,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998. This decrease
was due primarily to higher interest expense generated from the increase in
notes payable during late fiscal 1999. At July 31, 1999, we had unamortized
interest of $232,000 related to warrants issued in connection with the
subordinated notes payable. We used a portion of the proceeds from our initial
public offering to repay these subordinated notes payable in their entirety on
August 31, 1999. As a result, we will recognize the remaining unamortized
interest balance as an expense in the quarter ended October 31, 1999.

     Provision for Income Taxes

     The Company's operating losses are generated domestically, and amounts
attributable to its foreign operations have been insignificant for all periods
presented. No provision for income taxes has been recorded since our inception
because we have incurred net losses in all periods.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     In August 1999, we completed an initial public offering of 3,450,000 shares
of Common Stock (including the exercise of the underwriters' overallotment
option) at $21.00 per share. Net proceeds to us, before offering expenses, were
$67.4 million or $19.53 per share. Simultaneous with the closing of the initial
public offering, we sold an aggregate of 665,641 shares of common stock at
$19.53 per share in a private placement to Dell Computer Corporation,
Flextronics International Ltd., and Marshall Industries. Net proceeds from sales
of stock in the private placement were $13.0 million. The primary purposes of
the initial public offering were to obtain additional equity capital, create a
public market for our common stock, and facilitate future access to public
markets. We have used, and continue to expect to use the proceeds from the
offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and note
payable repayment. A portion of the proceeds may also be used for the
acquisition of businesses that are complimentary to ours, although we do not
currently have any commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions.
Pending such uses, we have invested the net proceeds of the offering in
investment grade, interest-bearing securities. Prior to our initial public
offering, we raised $26.2 million of equity capital from the sale of preferred
stock, net of issuance costs, which was the primary source of financing for our
operations.

     As of July 31, 1999, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.6 million,
compared to $10.0 million of cash and cash equivalents held as of April 30,
1999. Our working capital at July 31, 1999 was $625,000, compared to working
capital of $4.2 million at April 30, 1999.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     In July 1999 we amended our senior line of credit facility with a bank that
bears interest at 8.5% to increase the available borrowing amount from $2.0
million to $5.0 million and extended the expiration date to August 31, 2000. At
July 31, 1999, no balance was outstanding under this line of credit. This line
of credit is secured by accounts receivable and certain other assets. At July
31, 1999 we also had $3.0 million outstanding of subordinated notes payable
which bear interest at an annual rate of 11.75% and are payable through fiscal
2002. These notes were paid in full on August 31, 1999. In addition, capital
lease obligations including both short-term and long-term portions, were $1.6
million at July 31, 1999, and are payable through fiscal 2003. Our senior line
of credit requires us to maintain certain monthly financial covenants, including
a minimum tangible net worth and a minimum quick ratio. We were in compliance
with all of our financial covenants at July 31, 1999.

     We also have noncancelable operating leases for office space and equipment
of approximately $2.2 million at July 31, 1999 which are payable through fiscal
2003.

     Our operating activities resulted in cash generated for the quarter ended
July 31, 1999 of $639,000 and net cash outflows of $1.8 million for the quarter
ended July 31, 1998.

     Investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of $888,000 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1999 and for $30,000 the quarter ended July 31, 1998.
These expenditures were primarily for property and equipment. We expect that
capital expenditures will continue to increase to the extent we continue to
increase our headcount or expand our operations.

     Financing activities used cash of $115,000 for the quarter ended July 31,
1999 through repayments of capital lease obligations offset by proceeds from the
issuance of common stock. Financing activities provided cash of $10.9 million
for the quarter ended July 31, 1998, primarily through proceeds from the
issuance of preferred and common stock and net proceeds from debt and capital
lease borrowings.

     We anticipate that our current cash, cash equivalents and available credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working
capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, we
may need to raise additional funds in future periods through public or private
financing, or other sources, to fund our operations and potential acquisitions,
if any, until we achieve profitability, if ever. We may not be able to obtain
adequate or favorable financing at that time. Failure to raise capital when
needed could harm our business. If we raise additional funds through the
issuance of equity securities, the percentage of ownership of our stockholders
would be reduced. Furthermore, these equity securities might have rights,
preferences or privileges senior to our common stock.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncement

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard or SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivatives and Hedging Activities" and in June 1999 the FASB issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of SFAS No. 133" SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards of derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. We will adopt SFAS 133
in its quarter ending July 31, 2000 as allowed under SFAS 137 and do not expect
such adoption to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

     Year 2000 Readiness

     Many currently installed computer systems are not capable of distinguishing
21st century dates from 20th century dates or have been programmed with default
dates ending in 99, the common two-digit reference for 1999. As a result, as we
transition from the 20th century to the 21st century, computer systems and
software used by many companies and organizations in a wide variety of
industries will produce erroneous results or fail unless they have been modified
or upgraded to process date information correctly. Significant uncertainty
exists in the software industry and other industries concerning the scope and
magnitude of problems associated with the year 2000 issue.

     State of Readiness. We have completed our initial assessment of the
potential overall impact of the impending century change on our business. Based
on our current assessment, we believe the current versions of our software
products are year 2000 compliant. By year 2000 compliant, we mean that our
software products, when used with accurate date data and in accordance with
their associated documentation, are capable of properly processing date data
from, into and between the 20th and 21st centuries, including the years 1999,
2000 and leap years, provided that all other products, e.g., hardware, software
and firmware, used with our products properly exchange date data with them.
However, our products are generally integrated into enterprise systems involving
sophisticated hardware and complex software products that we cannot adequately
evaluate for year 2000 compliance. We may face claims based on year 2000
problems in other companies' products, or issues arising from the integration of
multiple products within an overall system even if our products are otherwise
year 2000 compliant. Although we have not been a party to any litigation or
arbitration proceeding involving our products or services related to year 2000
compliance issues, we may in the future be required to defend our products or
services in these proceedings, or to negotiate resolutions of claims based on
year 2000 issues. The costs of defending and resolving year 2000-related
disputes, regardless of the merits of these disputes, and any liability we have
for year 2000-related damages, including consequential damages, could
substantially harm our business.

     In addition, we believe that the purchasing patterns of customers and
potential customers may be affected by year 2000 issues, as companies expend
significant resources to correct or upgrade their current software systems for
year 2000 compliance and as they delay purchase of new systems that may not be
year 2000 compliant. These expenditures may result in reduced funds available to
purchase software products such as those we offer. To the extent year 2000
issues cause a significant delay in, or cancellation of, decisions to purchase
our products or services, our business would be substantially harmed.

     We are currently reviewing our internal management information and other
computer systems to identify any year 2000 problems, and are beginning to
communicate with the external vendors that supply us with material software and
information systems and with our significant suppliers to determine their year
2000 readiness. We have not completed our year 2000 investigation and overall
compliance initiative.

     Costs. To date, we have not incurred any material costs directly associated
with our year 2000 compliance efforts, except for compensation expenses
associated with our salaried employees who have devoted some of their time to
our year 2000 assessment and remediation efforts. We do not expect the total
cost of year 2000 problems to be material to our business. However, during the
months prior to the century change, we will continue to evaluate new versions of
our software products, new software and information systems provided to us by
third parties and any new infrastructure systems that we acquire to determine
whether they are year 2000 compliant. Despite our current assessment, we may not
identify and correct all significant year 2000 problems on a timely basis. Year
2000 compliance efforts may involve significant time and expense and
unremediated problems could substantially harm our business. We currently have
no contingency plans to address the risks associated with unremediated year 2000
problems.

                                       14

     Risks. We are not currently aware of any year 2000 readiness problems
relating to our internally-developed proprietary systems that would
substantially harm our business. We may discover year 2000 readiness problems in
these systems that will require substantial revision. In addition, third-party
software, hardware or services incorporated into our material systems may need
to be revised or replaced, all of which could be time-consuming and expensive.
Our failure to fix or replace our internally developed proprietary software or
third-party software, hardware or services on a timely basis could result in
lost revenues, increased operating costs, the loss of customers and other
business interruptions, any of which could substantially harm our business.
Moreover, our failure to adequately address year 2000 readiness issues in our
internally developed proprietary software could result in claims of
mismanagement, misrepresentation or breach of contract and related litigation,
which could be costly and time-consuming to defend.

     In addition, governmental agencies, utility companies, Internet access
companies, third-party service providers and others outside of our control may
not be year 2000 ready. The failure by these entities to be year 2000 ready
could result in a systemic failure beyond our control, such as a prolonged
Internet, telecommunications or electrical failure, which could also prevent us
from delivering our services to our customers, decrease the use of the Internet
or prevent users from accessing web sites.

     Contingency Plan. As discussed above, we are engaged in an ongoing year
2000 assessment and have not yet developed any contingency plans. The results of
our year 2000 simulation testing and the responses received from third-party
vendors and service providers will be taken into account in determining the
nature and extent of any contingency plans we adopt.


     Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     We develop products in the United States and market our products in North
America, and to a lesser extent in the Europe and Asia Pacific regions. As a
result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in
foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.
Because all of our revenues are currently denominated in U.S. dollars, a
strengthening of the dollar could make our products less competitive in foreign
markets. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of
U.S. interest rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are in
short-term instruments. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we
believe that there is not a material risk exposure.

     Other Factors Affecting Operating Results

     Risks Related to Our Operations

     Because We Have a Limited Operating History, It Is Difficult to Evaluate
Our Business and Prospects

     We are still in the early stages of our development, so evaluating our
business operations and our prospects is difficult. We incorporated in 1995 and
began shipping our first product in June 1996. The revenues and income potential
of our business and market are unproven. We will encounter risks and
difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in new and rapidly
evolving markets. These risks include the following:

     .  we have only one product suite, and will need to successfully introduce
        new products and enhance existing products to this suite, including
        Agile Anywhere, a new version which has been available only since July
        1999;

     .  we need to increase sales to achieve profitability, requiring us to sell
        additional licenses and software products to our existing customers and
        expand our customer base outside of the electronics and medical device
        industries;

                                       15
<PAGE>

     .  we need to expand our sales and marketing, customer support and
        professional services organizations, build strategic relationships and
        expand our international operations in order to increase sales; and

     .  we need to effectively manage our anticipated growth which could lead to
        management distractions and increased operating expenses, and will
        require us to attract and retain key personnel.

     Our business strategy may not be successful and we may not be able to
successfully address these risks. In addition, because of our limited
operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and
affect our business.

     We Have a History of Losses, We Expect to Incur Losses in the Future and We
     May Not Achieve or Maintain Profitability

     We incurred net losses of approximately $4.1 million for the quarter ended
July 31, 1999, $11.4 million for fiscal 1999, $8.9 million for fiscal 1998 and
$4.8 million for fiscal 1997. As of July 31, 1999, we had an accumulated deficit
of approximately $30.6 million. Moreover, we expect to continue to incur
significant sales and marketing, research and development and general and
administrative expenses. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur
substantial non-cash costs relating to the amortization of deferred compensation
which will contribute to our net losses. We expect to incur losses for the
foreseeable future. We will need to generate significant increases in revenues
to achieve and maintain profitability, and we may not be able to do so. Even if
we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

     Our Quarterly Operating Results Fluctuate and Are Difficult to Predict and,
     if Our Future Results Are Below the Expectations of Public Market Analysts
     or Investors, the Price of Our Common Stock May Decline

     Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and
are likely to vary significantly in the future, which makes it difficult for
us to predict our future operating results. This quarter-to-quarter
fluctuation is due to a number of factors, including the following:

     .  fluctuations in demand for Internet product content management software;

     .  size and timing of sales and installations of our products;

     .  entry of new competitors into our market, or the announcement of new
        products or product enhancements by competitors;

     .  our ability to successfully expand our direct sales force and our
        international sales organization;

     .  changes in our sales force incentives;

     .  unexpected delays in developing or introducing new and enhanced
        products;

     .  unexpected decline in purchases by our existing customers, including
        purchases of additional licenses and maintenance contracts;

     .  delays in our customers' orders due to their year 2000 priorities;

     .  variability in the mix of our license and professional service revenues;

     .  our ability to accurately price fixed-priced professional services
        projects;

     .  variability in the mix of professional services that we perform versus
        those performed for our customers by others; and

                                       16
<PAGE>

     .  our ability to establish and maintain relationships with our third-party
        implementation partners.

     License revenues in any quarter can be difficult to forecast because they
depend on orders shipped or installed in that quarter. Moreover, we typically
recognize a substantial percentage of revenues in the last month of each
quarter; for example, in fiscal 1999, revenues generated each quarter that was
recognized in the last month of the quarter ranged from 35% to 51%. This
increase in revenues earned in the last month of each quarter is driven
primarily by quarter-end commissions payable and the time required to implement
software installations. A high percentage of our operating expenses are
essentially fixed in the short term and we may be unable to adjust spending to
compensate for an unexpected shortfall in our revenues. In addition, we expect
our operating expenses to increase as we expand our engineering and sales and
marketing operations, broaden our customer support capabilities, develop new
distribution channels and strategic alliances, fund increased levels of research
and development and build our operational infrastructure. As a result, if we
experience delays in recognizing revenue, or if our revenues do not grow faster
than the increase in these expenses, we could experience significant variations
in operating results from quarter to quarter.

     If, in response to market pressures or other demands, we introduce new
pricing structures for our existing products, we could experience customer
dissatisfaction and loss of sales. In addition, if we introduce products that
are sold in a manner different from how we currently market our products, or we
could recognize revenue differently than under our current accounting policies.
Depending on the manner in which we sell existing or future products, this could
have the effect of extending the length of time over which we recognize
revenues. Furthermore, our quarterly revenues could be significantly affected
based on how applicable accounting standards are amended or interpreted over
time.

     Due to these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period
comparisons of our results of operations are not meaningful and should not be
relied upon as indicators of our future performance. It is possible that in some
future periods our results of operations may be below the expectations of public
market analysts and investors. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may
decline.

     We May Not Achieve Anticipated Revenues if the Introduction and Customer
     Acceptance of Our New Release, Agile Anywhere, or Any Upgrades or
     Enhancements to Our Products, Is Unsuccessful

     Our future financial performance will depend on the successful introduction
and customer acceptance of Agile Anywhere and any upgrades or enhancements that
we may make to our products in the future. We have generated substantially all
of our revenues from licenses and services related to current and prior versions
of our product suite. Agile Anywhere, the latest version of our product suite,
has only been available since July 1999. We believe that revenues from Agile
Anywhere, together with revenues from maintenance and support contracts from
Agile Anywhere and prior versions of our suite, will account for a substantial
portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to ship or
implement any upgrades or enhancements when planned, or if the introduction of
upgrades or enhancements causes customers to defer orders for our existing
products, we may not achieve anticipated revenues.

                                       17

     Year 2000 Considerations Among Our Customers and Potential Customers May
     Reduce Our Sales

     We may experience reduced sales of products as customers and potential
customers put a priority on correcting year 2000 problems and therefore defer
purchase decisions for software products until later in 2000. Accordingly,
demand for our products may be particularly volatile and unpredictable for the
remainder of 1999 and early 2000.

     Implementation of Our Products By Large Customers May Be Complex and
     Customers Could Become Dissatisfied if Implementation of Our Products
     Proves Difficult, Costly or Time-Consuming

     Our products must integrate with many existing computer systems and
software programs used by our customers. Integrating with many other computer
systems and software programs can be complex, time consuming and expensive and
cause delays in the deployment of our products. Because we are one of the first
companies to offer products designed for product content management, many
customers will be facing these integration issues for the first time in the
context of collaborating with supply chain partners. Customers could become
dissatisfied with our products if implementations prove to be difficult, costly
or time-consuming.

     We Currently Perform Most of Our Implementations on a Fixed-Price Basis,
     Which Could Cause Us to Incur More Costs Than We Expect

     When we install our products or when we have a third party install them, we
typically charge customers a fixed fee for these services. At the time of a
product sale and prior to agreeing to an installation price, we estimate the
amount of work involved for a particular installation project. We have at times
in the past underestimated and may in the future underestimate the amount of
time or resources required to install our products. If we do not correctly
estimate the amount of time or resources required for a large number of
installations, our gross margins could decline.

     If We Do Not Sell Additional Licenses or Enhanced Versions or Upgrades of
     Our Products to Existing Customers, We May Not Achieve Revenue Growth

     The size of a new customer's initial order is relatively small and may
include a limited number of user licenses. In later orders, customers often add
user licenses or additional products designed for specific functions, such as
the AML Server targeted at manufacturers. In order to grow revenues, we depend
on sales of additional user licenses to our existing customers as well as sales
of new licenses to new customers. Therefore, it is important that our customers
are satisfied with their initial product implementations and that they believe
that expanded use of the product they purchased will provide them with
additional benefits. Customers could choose not to purchase any new products or
expand the use of our products. If we do not increase sales to existing
customers, we may not be able to achieve revenue growth.

     If We Do Not Establish and Maintain Relationships With Key Partners, We May
     Encounter Difficulty in Providing Implementation and Customer Support of
     Our Products

     We rely heavily on our relationships with consulting and integration
partners to implement our software, provide customer support services and
endorse our products during the evaluation stage of the sales cycle. Currently,
only three companies provide implementation services for our products in North
America. We expect to increasingly rely on these types of partners in the
future. These companies are not contractually obligated to continue to provide
implementation services for us or to otherwise promote our products. Although we
seek to develop and maintain relationships with these types of service
providers, they may have similar or more

                                       18
<PAGE>

established relationships with our competitors. If these service providers do
not increase this segment of their business, or reduce or discontinue their
relationships with us or their support of our products, our business could be
harmed. We will need to develop new third party relationships if sales of our
products increase and our current partners cannot fulfill the need for
implementation and customer support services. Without these third parties we
would have to expand our services organization to increase the consulting and
professional services that we provide to our customers and divert resources from
other areas of our business. If we are required to expand our professional
services capabilities, we may not be able to do so on a timely basis.

     To meet customer demand, we might have to outsource services to more costly
independent contractors and other third parties. In addition, if our
implementation partners do not adequately perform implementation services, our
customers could become dissatisfied with our products. In order to avoid
dissatisfaction, we may need to provide supplemental implementation services at
no additional cost to the customer. Although we could experience an increase in
services revenues if our service partners are not successful, services revenues
have lower gross margins than license revenues. We could also experience delays
in revenue recognition if customer implementation projects fall behind schedule.

     We May Experience Customer Dissatisfaction and Lost Sales if Our Products
     Do Not Scale to Accommodate Substantial Increases in the Number of
     Concurrent Users

     Our strategy requires that our software be highly scalable, or able to
accommodate substantial increases in the number of users concurrently using the
product. To date, however, only a limited number of our customers have deployed
our software to manage the manufacturing process across their entire
organization. While we have performed product testing on the scalability of our
products, these products have not been tested in the context of a customer
implementation. If our customers cannot successfully implement large-scale
deployments, or if they determine that our products cannot accommodate large-
scale deployments, we could experience customer dissatisfaction and find it more
difficult to obtain new customers or to sell additional products to our existing
customers.

     We May Not Be Able to Increase Sales of Our Products if We Do Not Expand
     Our Direct Sales Organization

     We sell our products primarily through our direct sales force. Our ability
to increase our sales will depend on our ability to recruit, train and retain
top quality sales people with the advanced sales skills and technical knowledge
we need. There is a shortage of the sales personnel we need, and competition for
qualified personnel is intense in our industry. In addition, it takes time for
our new sales personnel to become productive, particularly our senior sales and
services personnel, who could take up to nine months to become fully productive.
If we are unable to hire or retain qualified sales personnel, or if newly hired
personnel fail to develop the necessary skills or reach productivity more slowly
than anticipated, it would be more difficult for us to sell our products, and we
may experience a shortfall in revenues.

     Our Lengthy and Variable Sales Cycle Makes it Difficult For Us to Predict
     When or if Sales Will Be Made

     Our products have an unpredictable sales cycle that contributes to the
uncertainty of our future operating results. Our product content management
software is a new category of products, and customers often view the purchase of
our products as a significant and strategic decision. As a result, customers may
take time to evaluate our products, resulting in a sales cycle that has
historically ranged from approximately four to seven months. The sale of our
products may be subject to delays due to the lengthy internal budgeting,
approval and evaluation processes of our customers.

                                       19
<PAGE>

     We may expend significant sales and marketing expenses during this
evaluation period before the customer places an order with us. Customers may
initially purchase a smaller number of user licenses before expanding the order
to allow a greater number of users to benefit from the application. Larger
customers may purchase our products as part of multiple simultaneous purchasing
decisions, which may result in additional unplanned administrative processing
and other delays in our product sales. If sales forecasted from a specific
customer for a particular quarter are not realized, we may experience an
unplanned shortfall in revenues. As a result, we have only a limited ability to
forecast the timing and size of sales of our products.

     The Success of Our Business Depends on Our Key Personnel, Whose Knowledge
     of Our Business and Technical Expertise Would Be Difficult to Replace

     Our success depends largely on the continued contributions of our key
senior management, particularly Bryan D. Stolle, our Chief Executive Officer,
who is not bound by an employment agreement, as well as of our key engineering
and sales and marketing personnel. We do not have key-man life insurance on Mr.
Stolle. If one or more members of our senior management or any of our key
employees were to resign, the loss of personnel could result in delays to
product development, loss of sales, and diversion of management resources. See
"Management" for additional information on our key personnel.

     Because of Competition for Additional Qualified Personnel, We May Not Be
     Able to Recruit or Retain Necessary Personnel, Which Could Impact
     Development or Sales of Our Products

     Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified,
experienced employees. There is substantial competition for experienced
engineering, sales and marketing personnel in our industry. If we are unable to
retain our existing key personnel, or attract and retain additional qualified
personnel, we may from time to time experience inadequate levels of staffing to
perform services for our customers. As a result, our growth could be limited due
to our lack of capacity to develop and market our products to our customers, or
we could experience deterioration in service levels or decreased customer
satisfaction.

     Our Efforts to Expand Sales of Our Products to Other Industries May Not
     Succeed

     We have historically sold our products primarily to companies in the
electronics and medical device manufacturing industries. We intend to market
products to customers in additional industries. Although we have targeted
enterprises in other markets as potential customers, these potential customers
may not be as willing to purchase products like ours as have other technology-
based industries such as the electronics and medical device manufacturing
industries.

     The Market For Our Products Is Newly Emerging and Customers May Not Accept
     Our Products

     The market for software products that allow companies to collaborate with
suppliers on product information and change is newly emerging. Companies have
not traditionally automated this product content management process throughout
the supply chain. We cannot be certain that this market will continue to develop
and grow or that companies will elect to utilize our products rather than
attempt to develop applications internally or through other sources. In
addition, the use of the Internet, as well as corporate intranets, has not been
widely adopted for sharing product information as well as for collaboration
among supply chain participants. Companies that have already invested
substantial resources in other methods of sharing product information during the
manufacturing and supply process may be reluctant to adopt a new approach that
may replace, limit or compete with their existing systems or methods.

                                       20
<PAGE>

     We expect that we will continue to need to pursue intensive marketing and
sales efforts to educate prospective customers about the uses and benefits of
our products. Therefore, demand for and market acceptance of our products will
be subject to a high level of uncertainty.

     Competition Among Providers of Software Enabling Collaboration in a
     Manufacturing Supply Chain May Increase, Which Could Cause Us to Reduce
     Prices, and Result in Reduced Gross Margins or Loss of Market Share

     The market for products that enable companies to interactively manage and
share information relating to the manufacture and supply of products is new,
highly fragmented, rapidly changing and increasingly competitive. We expect
competition to intensify, which could result in price reductions for our
products, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. Competitors vary in
size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services offered. We face
potential competition from in-house development efforts by potential customers
or partners, vendors of software designed for management of engineering
information, and developers of general purpose groupware software addressing
only limited technology components involved in managing data generated by
changes to the engineering process. We also face potential competition from
providers of enterprise software.

     Many of our actual or potential competitors have a number of significant
advantages over us, including:

     .  longer operating histories;

     .  significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other
        resources;

     .  significantly greater name recognition and a larger installed base of
        customers; and

     .  well-established relationships with our actual and potential customers
        as well as with systems integrators and other vendors and service
        providers.

     These competitors may also be able to respond more quickly to new or
emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater
resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products, than we can.
Some of our actual or potential competitors may also bundle their products in a
manner that may discourage potential customers from purchasing our products.
Accordingly, we may not be able to maintain or expand our sales if competition
increases and we are unable to respond effectively.

     We May Experience Difficulties in Introducing New Products and Upgrades
     Which Could Result in Negative Publicity, Loss of Sales, Delay in Market
     Acceptance or Customer Dissatisfaction

     Our future financial performance depends on our successful and timely
development, introduction and market acceptance of new and enhanced products.
The life cycles of our products are difficult to predict because the market for
our products is new and emerging, and is characterized by rapid technological
change, changing customer needs and evolving industry standards. The
introduction of products or computer systems employing new technologies and
emerging industry standards could render our existing products obsolete and
unmarketable. For example, portions of our software are written in the Java
computer programming language. If a new software language becomes standard in
our industry or is considered more robust than Java, we may need to rewrite
portions of our products in another computer language in order to remain
competitive. The introduction of enhancements to our suite of products may also
cause customers to defer orders for our existing products. We may experience
difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development,
introduction or marketing of new or enhanced products in the future. In
addition, those products may not meet the requirements of the marketplace and
achieve market acceptance.

                                       21
<PAGE>

     We expect to add new products to our supply chain applications by
acquisition or internal development and by developing enhancements to our
existing products. We have in the past experienced delays in the planned release
dates of our software products and upgrades, and we have discovered software
defects in new products after their introduction. New products or upgrades may
not be released according to schedule, or may contain defects when released.
Either situation could result in negative publicity, loss of sales, delay in
market acceptance of our products or customer claims against us.

     Our Products Might Not Be Compatible With All Major Platforms, Which Could
     Inhibit Sales

     We must continually modify and enhance our products to keep pace with
changes in computer hardware and software and database technology, as well as
emerging technical standards in the software industry. For example, we have
designed our products to work with databases and servers such as Oracle and
Microsoft SQL Server. Any changes to these platforms could require us to modify
our products, and could cause us to delay releasing a product until the updated
version of that platform has been released. Furthermore, third parties develop
adapters to integrate our products with other design, manufacture, finance and
supply chain systems used by our customers. We rely on these third parties to
update the adapters to reflect changes to our products as well as to the
targeted platform in order to maintain the functionality provided by our
products. As a result, uncertainties related to the timing and nature of new
product announcements, introductions or modifications by vendors of operating
systems, back-office applications and browsers and other Internet-related
applications could hurt our business, as customers may not be certain as to how
our product will operate with their existing systems.

     In addition, although portions of our products are based upon the Java
programming language, the Java language does not offer all of the features
available in Windows. Accordingly, certain features available to products that
run on Windows may not be available in the non-Windows version of our products,
and this could result in reduced customer demand. Furthermore, some of our
products do not run on certain types of popular server computers, such as those
that utilize the UNIX operating system. If another platform becomes more widely
used, we could be required to convert, or "port," our product to that platform.
We may not succeed in these efforts, and even if we do, potential customers may
not choose our product.

     If We Are Unable to Timely Expand Our International Operations, We May Not
     Achieve Anticipated Revenue Growth

     We believe that expansion of our international operations will be necessary
for our future success, and a key aspect to our business strategy is to expand
our sales and support organizations internationally. Therefore, we believe that
we will need to commit significant resources to expand our international
operations. We employ sales professionals in Europe and are in the early stages
of expanding into the Asia Pacific market. If we are unable to successfully
enter into and expand these international markets on a timely basis, we may not
be able to achieve anticipated revenue growth. This expansion may be more
difficult or take longer than we anticipate, and we may not be able to
successfully market, sell, deliver and support our products internationally.

     If successful in our international expansion, we will be subject to a
number of risks associated with international business activities. These risks
include:

     .  difficulty in providing customer support for our software in multiple
        time zones;

                                       22
<PAGE>

     .  need to develop our software in multiple foreign languages;

     .  longer sales cycles associated with educating foreign customers on the
        benefits of using our products;

     .  greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable from customers
        located abroad;

     .  political and economic instability, particularly in Asia;

     .  difficulties in enforcing agreements through foreign legal systems; and

     .  unexpected changes in regulatory requirements that may limit our ability
        to export our software or sell into particular jurisdictions or impose
        multiple conflicting tax laws and regulations.

     To date, most of our revenues have been denominated in United States
dollars. If we experience an increase in the portion of our revenues denominated
in foreign currencies, we may incur greater risks in currency fluctuations,
particularly since we translate our foreign currency revenues once at the end of
each quarter. In the future, our international revenues could be denominated in
the Euro, the currency of the European Union. The Euro is an untested currency
and may be subject to economic risks that are not currently contemplated. We
currently do not engage in foreign exchange hedging activities, and therefore
our international revenues and expenses are currently subject to the risks of
foreign currency fluctuations.

     We Depend on Licensed Technology and the Loss or Inability to Maintain
     These Technology Licenses Could Result in Increased Cost or Delays in Sales
     of Our Products

     We license technology on a non-exclusive basis from several businesses for
use with our products, including licenses from RSA Data Security, Inc. for
security and encryption technology software, Actuate Corporation for reporting
capability and from Cimmetry Systems Inc. for our viewers. We anticipate that we
will continue to license technology from third parties in the future. Some of
the software we license from third parties would be difficult to replace. This
software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if
at all. The loss or inability to maintain any of these technology licenses could
result in delays in the licensing of our products until equivalent technology,
if available, is identified, licensed and integrated. In addition, the effective
implementation of our products depends upon the successful operation of third-
party licensed products in conjunction with our products, and therefore any
undetected errors in these licensed products may prevent the implementation or
impair the functionality of products, delay new product introductions and or
injure our reputation. The increased use of third-party software could require
us to enter into license agreements with third parties, which could result in
higher royalty payments and a loss of product differentiation.

     Defects in Our Software Products Could Diminish Demand For Our Products

     Our software products are complex and may contain errors, including year
2000 related errors, that may be detected at any point in the life of the
product. We have in the past discovered software errors in certain of our
products and as a result have experienced delays in shipment of products during
the period required to correct these errors. We cannot assure you that, despite
testing by us, our implementation partners and our current and potential
customers, errors will not be found in new products or releases after shipment,
resulting in loss of revenue, delay in market acceptance and sales, diversion of
development resources, injury to our reputation or increased service and
warranty costs.

                                       23
<PAGE>

     Further, our products are generally used in systems with other vendors'
products, and as a result, our products must integrate successfully with these
existing systems. System errors, whether caused by our products or those of
another vendor, could adversely affect the market acceptance of our products,
and any necessary revisions could cause us to incur significant expenses.

     If We Become Subject to Product Liability Litigation, It Could Be Time
     Consuming and Costly to Defend

     Since our products are used for mission critical applications in the supply
chain, errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial
or other damages to our customers. For example, our products are designed to
communicate information relating to changes in product specifications during the
manufacturing process. If a supplier or other participant receives inaccurate or
erroneous data, it is possible that it could claim it incurred damages based on
its reliance on that data. Although our license agreements generally contain
provisions designed to limit our exposure to product liability litigation,
existing or future laws or unfavorable judicial decisions could negate such
limitation of liability provisions. Product liability litigation, even if
unsuccessful, would be time-consuming and costly to defend and could harm our
business.

     In Order to Manage Our Growth and Expansion, We Will Need to Improve and
     Implement New Systems, Procedures and Controls

     We have recently experienced a period of rapid growth and expansion that
has placed a significant strain on our management information systems and our
administrative, operational and financial resources. For example, we have grown
from 65 employees at April 30, 1997 to 156 employees at April 30, 1999 and to
170 employees for July 31, 1999. If we are unable to manage our growth and
expansion in an efficient or timely manner, our business will be seriously
harmed. In addition, we have recently hired a significant number of employees
and plan to further increase our total headcount. We also plan to expand the
geographic scope of our operations. This expansion has resulted and will
continue to result in substantial demands on our management resources. To
accommodate continued anticipated growth and expansion, we will be required to:

     .  improve existing and implement new operational and financial systems,
        procedures and controls;

     .  hire, train, manage, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and

     .  enter into relationships with strategic partners.

     These measures may place additional burdens on our management and our
internal resources.

     If We Are Unable to Protect Our Intellectual Property We May Lose a
     Valuable Asset, Experience Reduced Market Share or Incur Costly Litigation
     to Protect Our Rights

     Our success and ability to compete depend upon our proprietary technology,
including our brand and logo and the technology underlying our products. We rely
on trademark, trade secret and copyright laws to protect our intellectual
property. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property, a third
party could copy or otherwise obtain our software or other proprietary
information without authorization, or could develop software competitive to
ours. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate and our
competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products
or design around patents that may be issued to us or our other intellectual
property.

                                       24
<PAGE>

     In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our
proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States,
and we expect that it will become more difficult to monitor the use of our
products if we increase our international presence.

     We may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property
rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to determine their scope,
validity or enforceability. Enforcing or defending our proprietary technology is
expensive, could cause the diversion of our resources, and may not prove
successful. Our protective measures may prove inadequate to protect our
proprietary rights, and any failure to enforce or protect our rights could cause
us to lose a valuable asset.

     We May Be Subject to Intellectual Property Infringement Claims That, With
     or Without Merit, Could Be Costly to Defend or Settle

     We may from time to time be subject to claims of infringement of other
parties' proprietary rights or claims that our own intellectual property rights
are invalid. There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the software
and Internet industries regarding intellectual property rights. It is possible
that, in the future, third parties may claim that we or our current or potential
future products infringe their intellectual property. We expect that software
product developers and providers of electronic commerce solutions will
increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and
competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in
industry segments overlaps. Any infringement claims made against us, with or
without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause
product shipment delays or negative publicity. In addition, if our products were
found to infringe a third party's proprietary rights, we could be required to
enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to continue to be able to
sell our products. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be
available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

     Year 2000 Compliance Costs and Risks Are Difficult to Assess and Could
     Result in Delay or Loss of Revenue, Diversion of Development Resources,
     Damage to Our Reputation or Increased Service, Warranty or Litigation Costs

     Our products are generally integrated into computer systems involving
sophisticated hardware and complex software products, which may not be year 2000
compliant. The failure of our customers' systems to be year 2000 compliant could
impede the success of applications that we have developed for them. Accordingly,
known or unknown defects that affect the operation of our software, including
any defects or errors in applications that include our products, could result in
delay or loss of revenue, diversion of development resources, damage to our
reputation or increased service, warranty or litigation costs, any of which
could harm our business.

     In addition, earlier versions of our products may not be year 2000
compliant, and we do not intend to make them year 2000 compliant. We also need
to ensure year 2000 compliance of our own internal computer and other systems,
to continue testing our software products, and to audit the year 2000 compliance
status of our suppliers and business partners. We have not completed our year
2000 investigation and overall compliance initiative, and the total cost of our
year 2000 compliance may be substantial and may harm our business.

     Future Acquisitions May Be Difficult to Integrate, Disrupt Our Business,
     Dilute Stockholder Value or Divert Management Attention

     As part of our business strategy, we may seek to acquire or invest in
businesses, products or technologies that we feel could complement or expand our
business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities or
that may otherwise offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions could create risks
for us, including:

                                       25
<PAGE>

     .  difficulties in assimilation of acquired personnel, operations,
        technologies or products;

     .  unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;

     .  diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;

     .  adverse effects on our existing business relationships with suppliers
        and customers; and

     .  use of substantial portions of our available cash, including the
        proceeds of this offering, to consummate the acquisition.

     In addition, if we consummate acquisitions through an exchange of our
securities, our stockholders could suffer significant dilution. Any future
acquisitions, even if successfully completed, may not generate any additional
revenue or provide any benefit to our business.

Risks Related to the Internet on Our Business and Prospects

     If Use of the Internet Does Not Continue to Develop and Reliably Support
     the Demands Placed on It by Electronic Commerce, We May Experience Loss of
     Sales

     Our success depends upon continued growth in the use of the Internet as a
medium of commerce. Although the Internet is experiencing rapid growth in the
number of users, this growth is a recent phenomenon and may not continue.
Furthermore, despite this growth in usage, the use of the Internet for commerce
is relatively new. As a result, a sufficiently broad base of companies and their
supply chain partners may not adopt or continue to use the Internet as a medium
of exchanging product content information. Our business would be seriously
harmed if:

     .  use of the Internet does not continue to increase or increases more
        slowly than expected;

     .  the infrastructure for the Internet does not effectively support
        enterprises and their supply chain partners;

     .  the Internet does not create a viable commercial marketplace, inhibiting
        the development of electronic commerce and reducing the demand for our
        products; or

     .  concerns over the secure transmission of confidential information over
        public networks inhibit the growth of the Internet as a means of
        conducting commercial transactions.

     Capacity Restraints May Restrict the Use of the Internet as a Commercial
     Marketplace, Resulting in Decreased Demand For Our Products

     The Internet infrastructure may not be able to support the demands placed
on it by increased usage or the limited capacity of networks to transmit large
amounts of data. Other risks associated with commercial use of the Internet
could slow its growth, including:

     .  outages and other delays resulting from the inadequate reliability of
        the network infrastructure;

     .  slow development of enabling technologies and complementary products;
        and

     .  limited availability of cost-effective, high-speed access.

                                       26
<PAGE>

     Delays in the development or adoption of new equipment standards or
protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity, or increased
governmental regulation, could cause the Internet to lose its viability as a
means of communication between manufacturers and their supply chain partners. If
these or any other factors cause use of the Internet for commerce to slow or
decline, the Internet may not prove viable as a commercial marketplace,
resulting in decreased demand for our products.

     Increasing Governmental Regulation of the Internet Could Limit the Market
     for Our Products

     As Internet commerce continues to evolve, we expect that federal, state and
foreign governments will adopt laws and regulations covering issues such as user
privacy, taxation of goods and services provided over the Internet, pricing,
content and quality of products and services. It is possible that legislation
could expose companies involved in electronic commerce to liability, taxation or
other increased costs, any of which could limit the growth of electronic
commerce generally. Legislation could dampen the growth in Internet usage and
decrease its acceptance as a communications and commercial medium. If enacted,
these laws and regulations could limit the market for our products.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

     We are currently involved in litigation with Facilities Management
International, a Southern California based systems integration company that
filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court for the State of California,
County of Orange, on February 19, 1999. The court has set the case for a bench
trial on February 7, 2000. The complaint alleges our interference with
prospective economic advantage and unfair business practices in connection with
our quote for services to one of our customers. We have responded by filing an
answer that denies all allegations. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief. We intend to defend ourselves
vigorously, and after consideration of the nature of the claims do not believe
that resolution of this matter will harm our business. However, due to the
inherently uncertain nature of litigation and the fact that discovery has yet to
take place, we cannot determine the possible loss, if any, that we may
ultimately incur either in the context of a trial or as a result of a negotiated
settlement. Our defense of this litigation, regardless of its outcome, could
result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

     The effective date of the Registration Statement for the Company's initial
public offering, filed on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No.
333-81387), was August 19, 1999. The class of securities registered was Common
Stock. The offering commenced and completed on August 20, 1999.

     Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company registered and sold
3,450,000 shares of its Common Stock to an underwriting syndicate at an initial
public offering price of $21.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $72.5
million. The managing underwriters for the offering were Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter, Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, and Hambrecht & Quist. The Company incurred
expenses of approximately $6.5 million, of which approximately $5.1 million
represented underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $1.4
million represented other expenses related to the offering. The net proceeds to
the Company after total expenses was approximately $66.0 million. Simultaneous
with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company sold an aggregate
of 665,641 shares of common stock at $19.53 per share in a private placement to
Dell Computer Corporation, Flextronics International Ltd., and Marshall
Industries.

     We have used, and continue to expect to use, the proceeds from the sale of
stock for general corporate purposes, including working capital. A portion of
the proceeds may also be used or the acquisition of businesses that are
complimentary to ours. Pending such uses, we have invested the net proceeds from
the sale of stock in investment grade, interest-bearing securities.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

     None.

is hereby executed on behalf of each of said two corporations by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

Securities.

               (h)  The term "SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

          1.2  Request for Registration.
               ------------------------

               (a)  Excluding for all purposes hereunder the Excluded
Securities, which shall have no rights pursuant to this subsection 1.2, if the
Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) June 2, 1999 or (ii)
three months after the effective date of the first registration statement for a
public offering of securities of the Company (other than a registration
statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company
pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145
transaction) a written request from the Holders of at least 30% of the
Registrable Securities (excluding for this purpose the Common Stock held by the
Common Stock Investors (the "Excluded Securities")) then outstanding that the
Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the

                                       2
<PAGE>

registration of at least 30% of the Registrable Securities (excluding the
Excluded Securities) then outstanding (or a lesser percent if the anticipated
aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would
exceed $10,000,000), then the Company shall:

                    (i)  within ten days of the receipt thereof, give written
notice of such request to all Holders; and

                    (ii) effect as soon as practicable, and in any event within
60 days of the receipt of such request, the registration under the Securities
Act of all Registrable Securities (other than Excluded Securities) which the
Holders request to be registered, subject to the limitations of subsection
1.2(b), within 20 days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in
accordance with Section 3.5.

               (b)  If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder
(the "Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities
covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the
Company as a part of their request made pursuant to subsection 1.2(a) and the
Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in
subsection 1.2(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be
reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In
such event, the right of any Holder to include his or her Registrable Securities
in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in
such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in
the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed to by a majority in interest
of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company as provided in subsection 1.4(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto,
and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the
underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the
Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of
Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder; provided, however,
that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely
excluded from the underwriting.

               (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish
to the Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2
a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that,
in the good fair judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration
statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action
with respect to such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt
of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company
may not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period.

                                       3
<PAGE>

               (d)  In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect,
or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:

                    (i)    after the Company has effected two registrations
pursuant to this Section 1.2 and such registrations have been declared or
ordered effective;

                    (ii)   during the period starting with the date 60 days
prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending
on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a registration subject to
Section 1.3 hereof, provided that the Company is actively employing in good
faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective; or

                    (iii)  if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of
shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 1.12 below.


          1.3  Company Registration.  If (but without any obligation to do so)
               --------------------
the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration
effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its
stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public
offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating
solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a
registration on any form which does not include substantially the same
information as would be required to be included in a registration statement
covering the sale of the Registrable Securities or a registration in which the
only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
debt securities which are also being registered), the Company shall, at such
time, promptly give each Holder (including the holders of Excluded Securities)
written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder
(including for this purpose holders of Excluded Securities) given within 20
days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.5,
the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.8, cause to be
registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities (including
Excluded Securities) that each such Holder has requested to be registered.

          1.4  Obligations of the Company.  Whenever required under this Section
               --------------------------
1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

               (a)  Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such
registration statement effective for a period of up to 120 days or until the
distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed;
provided, however, that such 120-day period shall be extended for a period of
time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities
included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock
(or other securities) of the Company.

               (b)  Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration

                                       4
<PAGE>

statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.

               (c)  Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned by them.

               (d)  Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders;
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by
the Securities Act.

               (e)  In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into
and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.

               (f)  Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.

               (g)  Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or other trading market on
which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

               (h)  Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration.

               (i)  Use its best efforts to furnish, at the request of any
Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the
underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section
1, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such
securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the
registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective (i) an
opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and
(ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants
of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent
certified public accountants to

                                       5
<PAGE>

underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

          1.5  Furnish Information.
               -------------------

               (a)  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the
Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to
the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be
required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.

               (b)  The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any
registration requested pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.12 if, due to the
operation of subsection 1.5(a), the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the
registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated
aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company's obligation
to initiate such registration as specified in subsection 1.2(a) or subsection
1.12(b)(2), whichever is applicable.

          1.6  Expenses of Demand Registration.  All expenses other than
               -------------------------------
underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 1.2, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in its
capacity as counsel to the selling Holders hereunder, if Company counsel does
not make itself available for this purpose, the Company will pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders) shall be borne by
the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 if
the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all
participating holders shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one
demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2.

          1.7  Expenses of Company Registration.  The Company shall bear and pay
               --------------------------------
all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or
qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to registrations pursuant
to Section 1.3 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in
Section 1.13), including (without limitation) all registration, filing and
qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees relating or apportionable
thereto and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in
its capacity as counsel to the selling Holders hereunder (if Company counsel
does not make itself available for this purpose, the Company will pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders
selected by them), but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating
to Registrable Securities.

          1.8  Underwriting Requirements.  In connection with any offering
               -------------------------
involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company
shall not be required under Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders'
securities in such underwriting unless they accept the

                                       6
<PAGE>

terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the
underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the
underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling shareholders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein
owned by each selling shareholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually
be agreed to by such selling shareholders) but in no event shall (i) the amount
of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below
20% of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such
offering is the initial public offering of the Company's securities in which
case the selling shareholders may be entirely excluded if the underwriters make
the determination described above and no other shareholder's securities are
included or (ii) notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold by a
shareholder exercising a demand registration right similar to that granted in
Section 1.2 be excluded from such offering. For purposes of the preceding
parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder which is a
holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and shareholders of such holder, or the estates and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling
shareholder," and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such "selling
shareholder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
"selling shareholder," as defined in this sentence.

          1.9  Delay of Registration.  No Holder shall have any right to obtain
               ---------------------
or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as
the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

          1.10 Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities are
               ---------------
included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

               (a)  To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities
Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities joint or several) to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
state securities law or any rule or

                                       7
<PAGE>

regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state
securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or
controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
containd in this subsection 1.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case
for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

               (b)  To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter,
any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any
controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing
persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such
Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.10(b) in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection 1.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this
subsection 1.10(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such
Holder.

               (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.10, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent the
indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any

                                       8
<PAGE>

liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.10, but the omission so
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any
liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 1.10.

               (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.

               (e)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are
in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting
agreement shall control.

               (f)  The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 1.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1 and otherwise.

          1.11 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  With a view to
               ---------------------------------------------
making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time
permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

               (a)  make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the
effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the
offering of its securities to the general public;

               (b)  file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and

               (c)  furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements to SEC Rule 144 (at
any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any
time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it
qualities as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3
(at any time after it

                                       9
<PAGE>

so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of
any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such
securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

          1.12 Form S-3 Registration.  In case the Company shall receive from
               ---------------------
any Holder or Holders (other than a holder of Excluded Securities) a written
request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any
related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

               (a)  promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders other than
holders of Excluded Securities; and

               (b)  as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all
such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit
or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's
or Holders' Registrable Securities (other than Excluded Securities) as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities (other than Excluded Securities) of any other Holder or Holders
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1.12: (1) if Form S-3 is
not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the Holders, together
with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in
such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other
securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any
underwriters' discounts or commissions) of less than $500,000; (3) if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of
the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors
of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
shareholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in
which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3
registration statement for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of
the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.12; provided, however,
that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any 12 month
period; (4) if the Company has, within the 12 month period preceding the date of
such request, already effected two registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders
pursuant to this Section 1.12; or (5) in any particular jurisdiction in which
the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.

               (c)  Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities (other than Excluded
Securities) and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as
practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. All
expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to
Section 1.12, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and
qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for the selling Holder or Holders and counsel for the
Company, shall be borne pro rata by the Holder or Holders participating in the
Form S-3 Registration. Registrations effected pursuant to this

                                      10












<PAGE>

Section 1.12 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations
effected pursuant to Sections 1.2 or 1.3, respectively.

               1.13   Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the
                      ---------------------------------
Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be
assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or
assignee of such securities who acquires all of the Registrable Securities
previously held by such Holder, or who, after such assignment or transfer, holds
at least 100,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other
recapitalizations), provided that: (a) the Company is, within 20 days after such
transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such
registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees
in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement including without limitation the provisions of Section 1.15 below; and
(c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such
transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the Securities Act. For the purposes of determining
the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee,
the holdings of transferees and assignees of a partnership who are partners or
retired partners of such partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal
descendants and siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable
Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together
and with the partnership; provided that all assignees and transferees who would
not qualify individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a
single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving
notices or taking any action under this Section 1.

               1.14   Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and
                      ---------------------------------------------
after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable
Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of
any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective
holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section
1.2 or Section 1.3 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder
or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only
to the extent that the inclusion of his or her securities will not reduce the
amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included or (b) to
make a demand registration which could result in such registration statement
being declared effective prior to the earlier of either of the dates set forth
in subsection 1.2(a) or within 120 days of the effective date of any
registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2.

               1.15   "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Investor hereby agrees
                       ---------------------------
that, during the period of duration specified by the Company and an underwriter
of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, following the effective date
of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, it
shall not to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly
or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including, without
limitation, any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer
or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any
securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except
Common Stock included in such registration; provided, however, that:

                                      11
<PAGE>


               (a)  such agreement shall be applicable only to the first such
registration statement of the Company which covers Common Stock (or other
securities) to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering;

               (b)  all officers and directors of the Company and all other
persons with registration rights (whether or not pursuant to this Agreement)
enter into similar agreements;

               (c)  such market stand-off time period shall not exceed 180 days;
and

               (d)  such market stand-off shall not apply to securities
purchased in an underwritten public offering or in the open market following the
Company's initial public offering.

     In order to enforce the foregoing covenant the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each
Investor (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the
foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section
1.15 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans
on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future,
or to a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on
Form S-14 or Form S-15 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

          1.16 Termination of Registration Rights.
               ----------------------------------

               (a)  No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided
for in this Section 1 after three years following the consummation of the sale
of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under
the Securities Act in connection with the initial firm commitment underwritten
offering of its securities to the general public.

               (b)  In addition, the right of any Holder to request registration
pursuant to Section 1.2 or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 1.3
shall terminate on the closing of the first Company-initiated registered public
offering of Common Stock of the Company if all shares of Registrable Securities
held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be
sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period, or on such date after the closing
of the first Company-initiated registered public offering of Common Stock of the
Company as all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon
conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any
90-day period; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 1.16(b)
shall not apply to any Holder who owns more than 2% of the Company's outstanding
stock until such time as such Holder owns less than 2% of the outstanding stock
of the Company.

     2.   Covenants of the Company.

          2.1  Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to
               --------------------------------

Directors' packages;

               (d)  the financial statements called for in subsections (b) and
(c) of this Section shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently

that may be required by GAAP) and shall fairly present the financial condition
of the Company and its results of operations for the period specified, subject
to year-end audit adjustment; and

               (e)  such other information relating to the financial condition,
business, prospects or corporate affairs of the Company as such Investor or any
assignee of such Investor may from time to time request, provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated under this subsection (e) or any other
subsection of Section 2.1 to provide information which it deems in good faith to
be a trade secret or similar confidential information.

               (f)  Each Investor agrees that information obtained by such
Investor pursuant to this Section 2.1 that is or would reasonably be perceived
to be proprietary to the Company will not be disclosed by such Investor without
the prior written consent of the Company.

               ----------
Common Stock Investors, at such Investor's expense, to visit and inspect the
Company's properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss
the Company's affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all at such
reasonable times as may be requested by such Investor; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.2 to provide
access to any information which it reasonably considers to be a trade secret or
similar confidential information.

          2.3  Termination of Information and Inspection Covenants.  The
               ---------------------------------------------------
covenants set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall terminate as to the Investors
and be of no further force or effect when the first sale of securities pursuant
to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act in
connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to
the general public is consummated or when the Company first becomes subject to
the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, whichever event shall first occur.

          2.4  Right of First Offer.  Subject to the terms and conditions
               --------------------
specified in this Section 2.4, the Company hereby grants to each Major Investor
(as hereinafter defined) a right of first offer with respect to future sales by
the Company of its Shares (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Section
2.4, a "Major Investor" shall mean (i) any Investor who holds at least 100,000
shares of the original investment such Investor made or makes in the Company
pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 7, 1995
(the "Series A Agreement"), the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
dated June 2, 1995 (the "Series B Agreement"), the Series C Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement dated January 16, 1996 (the "Series C Agreement"), the Series
D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 6, 1997 (the "Series D
Agreement"), the Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 14,
1997 (the "Series E Agreement") or the Series F Stock Purchase Agreement dated
June 4, 1998 and (ii) any person who acquires at least 100,000 shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof),
the Series B Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon conversion
thereof), the Series C Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued upon
conversion thereof), the Series D Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock issued
upon conversion thereof), the Series E Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof) or the Series F Preferred Stock (or the Common
Stock issued upon conversion thereof) issued pursuant to the Series A Agreement,
the Series B Agreement, the Series C Agreement, the Series D Agreement, the
Series E Agreement or the Series F Agreement, as applicable. For purposes of
this Section 2.4, an Investor includes any general partners and affiliates of an
Investor. An Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer
hereby granted it among itself and its partners and affiliates in such
proportions as it deems appropriate.

     Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities
convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital
stock (the "Shares"), the Company shall first make an offering of such Shares to
each Major Investor in accordance with the following provisions:

          (a)  The Company shall deliver a notice (the "Notice") to the Major
Investors stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (ii) the
number of such Shares to be offered and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon
which it proposes to offer such Shares.

          (b)  By written notification received by the Company, within 20
calendar days after giving of the Notice, each Major Investor may elect to
purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to
that portion of such Shares which equals the proportion that the number of
shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock then held, by such Major Investor bears to the total number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion
of all

                                      14


<PAGE>

convertible securities). The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each
Major Investor which decides to purchase all the shares available to it (the
"Fully-Exercising Investor") of any other Major Investor's failure to do
likewise. During the ten-day period commencing after such information is given,
each Fully-Exercising Investor shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the
Shares for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe but which were not
subscribed for by the Major Investors which is equal to the proportion that the
number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock then held, by such Fully-Exercising Investor bears to the
total number of shares of Common Stock issued and held, or issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock then held, by all Fully-Exercising Investors
who wish to purchase some of the unsubscribed shares.

               (c)  With respect to Shares referred to in the Notice that are
not elected to be obtained as provided in subsection 2.4(b) hereof, the Company
may, during the 30-day period following the expiration of the period provided in
subsection 2.4(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such
Shares to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more
favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Notice. If the Company
does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period,
or if such agreement is not consummated within 30 days of the execution thereof,
the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall
not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance
herewith.

               (d)  The right of first offer in this Section 2.4 shall not be
applicable (i) to the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options
therefor) to consultants, directors, officers, advisors or employees for the
primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment, (ii) to or after
consummation of a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering of shares of
Common Stock registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration
statement filed on Form S-1 which results in gross cash proceeds to the Company
in excess of $20,000,000 and a public offering price of not less than $8.78 per
share (as adjusted for any subsequent stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalizations or the like), (iii) to the issuance of securities pursuant to
the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities, (iv) to the
issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or
by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or
exchange of stock or otherwise, (v) to the issuance of stock, warrants or other
securities or rights to persons or entities with which the Company has business
relationships or (vi) to the sale and issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock.

               (e)  The right of first offer set forth in this Section 2.4 may
not be assigned or transferred, except that (i) such right is assignable by each
Holder to any wholly owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation or
entity that is, within the meaning of the Securities Act, controlling,
controlled by or under common control with any such Holder and (ii) such right
is assignable between and among any of the Holders.

               -------------
enter into this Agreement and such agreement constitutes its valid and legally
binding obligation, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its
terms.

          3.2  Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  This Agreement is made with
               ---------------------------------
such Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company,
which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
confirms, that the Common Stock to be received by such Investor (sometimes
referred to in this Section 3 as the "Securities") will be acquired for
investment for such Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor
further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person with respect to any of the
Securities.

          3.3  Disclosure of Information.  Such Investor believes it has
               -------------------------

whether to purchase the Common Stock. Such Investor further represents that it
has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and the
business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The
foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties
of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of each Investor to
rely thereon.

          3.4  Investment Experience.  Such Investor is an investor in
               ---------------------
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Common
Stock. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it has not
been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Common Stock.

          3.5  Accredited Investor.  Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
               ------------------
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect.

          3.6  Restricted Securities.  Such Investor understands that the
               --------------------
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection,
such Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in
effect and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the
Securities Act.

any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by
this Section 3, provided and to the extent this Section 3 is then applicable,
and:

               (a)  There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made
in accordance with such Registration Statement; or

               (b)  (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the

statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (ii) if
reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that
such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the
Securities Act.

               (c)  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
for a transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such
partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date
hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer
by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to
the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her
spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to
the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder.

               -------------
enter into this Agreement and such agreement constitutes its valid and legally
binding obligation, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its
terms.

          3.2  Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
               ---------------------------------
such Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company,
which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
confirms, that the Common Stock to be received by such Investor (sometimes
referred to in this Section 3 as the "Securities") will be acquired for
investment for such Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor
further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third person with respect to any of the
Securities.

          3.3  Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has received
               -------------------------
all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether
to purchase the Common Stock. Such Investor further represents that it has had
an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding
the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and the business,
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing,
however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of each Investor to rely
thereon.

          3.4  Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in securities
               ---------------------
of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend
for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge
and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the investment in the Common Stock. If other than an
individual, such Investor also represents it has not been organized for the
purpose of acquiring the Common Stock.

          3.5  Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
               -------------------
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect.

          3.6  Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
               ---------------------
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection,
such Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in
effect and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the
Securities Act.

reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that
such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the
Securities Act.

               (c)  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary
for a transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such
partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date
hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer
by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to
the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her
spouse, if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to
the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder.
