              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
iManage, Inc., a Delaware company, (the "Company"), pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However,
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the periods
presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

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

     Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 1999 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999, have been
reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.

DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION


                                       4
<PAGE>   7

     The Company uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based
compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost is recognized for certain stock
options when the exercise price of each option equals or exceeds the fair value
of the underlying common stock as of the grant date for each stock option. With
respect to the stock options granted since inception through December 31, 1999,
the Company recorded deferred stock compensation of $10.4 million for the
difference at the grant date between the exercise price and the fair value of
the common stock underlying the options. This amount is being amortized in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No.
28 over the vesting period of the individual options, generally 4 years.

LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

     In March 1999, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with a
bank, comprised of a revolving line of credit and an equipment line of credit.
The line of credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the
Company's assets, intangible assets and intellectual property.

     The revolving line of credit, as amended, provides for borrowings of up to
$3.0 million, which can be used at the discretion of the Company through March
31, 2001. Borrowings bear interest at prime plus 0.25% and are due at March 31,
2001. At March 31, 2000, no amounts had been drawn against this facility.

     The equipment line of credit, as amended, bears interest at prime plus
0.50% and provides for borrowings of up to $4.0 million to finance the Company's
purchases of property and equipment. At March 31, 2000, $2.0 million had been
fully drawn.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, or SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes new standards of
accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS
133 requires that all derivatives be recognized at fair value in the statement
of financial position, and that the corresponding gains or losses be reported
either in the statement of operations or as a component of comprehensive income,
depending on the type of hedging relationship that exists. In July, 1999, the
Financial Accounting Standard Boards issued SFAS No. 137, or "SFAS 137,"
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the
Effective Date of SFAS No. 133." SFAS 137 deferred the effective date of SFAS
133 until the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
does not currently hold derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities.
The Company currently anticipates that there will be no significant impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations for the implementation
of the requirements of SFAS 133 and SFAS 137.

     In November 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 100, or SAB 100,
which clarifies the SEC's views on accounting for and disclosing certain
expenses incurred in connection with exit activities and business combinations.
In December 1999, SAB 101 was issued to summarize the SEC's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial
statements. The Company does not expect SAB 100 to have a material effect on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flow. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact SAB 101 will have on its financial position and results of
operations.

     In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"), "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving
Stock Compensation an Interpretation of APB 25," which clarifies:

     (a)  the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB 25,

     (b)  the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
          non-compensatory plan,

     (c)  the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a
          previously fixed stock option or award, and

     (d)  the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a
          business combination.

                                       5

<PAGE>   8


     This interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, with certain provisions
effective earlier. The Company will evaluate the possible impact, if any, that
FIN 44 may have on its financial statements.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     One of the founders and principal stockholders of the Company is the owner
of a consulting company that subleased space from the Company and provided other
services including consulting and employee recruitment in 1999 and 2000. In
addition, the Company reimbursed the consulting company for certain travel
expenses and other services incurred on its behalf and for the use of certain
assets in 1999 and 2000. In 1999, the Company subleased office space to this
consulting company. Additionally, the Company hired certain of the consulting
company's consultants to provide software development services in 1999.

     Amounts included in net loss which were paid, received or due to or from
this related party are as follows (in thousands):

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In April 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization with NetRight Technologies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, and Thoughtstar, Inc. (Thoughtstar), a privately-held collaboration
software company. The Company will acquire Thoughtstar in a tax-free transaction
for approximately $18.5 million in common stock and cash. The merger is expected
to be recorded using purchase method of accounting.

     In April 2000, the Company loaned an executive officer $1,000,000. The loan
carries interest at 5% per annum and principal and interest are due October 31,
2000. Outstanding principal and accrued interest may be renewed at October 31,
2000 upon agreement of the parties. The loan is collateralized by 165,000 shares
of the Company's common stock.



ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with "Selected Financial
Data" and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing
elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward looking
statements can be identified by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expect,"
"plan," "intend," "forecast," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict,"
"potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those
set forth under "Factors That May Impact Future Results" and the risks discussed
in our other SEC filings, including our registration statement on Form S-1
declared effective November 17, 1999 by the SEC (File No. 333-86353) and in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 22, 2000 with the SEC.

OVERVIEW

     We supply e-business content and collaboration software platforms and
applications that provides organizations with a web-based unified content
platform that manages, organizes and delivers relevant information from a
variety of sources in a centralized manner throughout the extended enterprise.
We believe we are a leading provider of e-business content and collaboration
management software, based on the number of customers we serve and the

                                       6

<PAGE>   9


features our software provides. Since 1996, we have licensed our products to
over 600 customers for use by over 100,000 end users.

     We were incorporated in October 1995 and commenced operations shortly after
that time. During the period October 1995 through September 1996 we were a
development stage company and had no revenues. Our operating activities during
this period related primarily to developing our product, building our corporate
infrastructure and raising capital. In October 1996, we released the first
version of our iManage infoCommerce Server and iManage infoRite, and in June
1997, we enhanced our iManage suite of products and shipped iManage infoLink. In
March 1998, we released an enhanced version of iManage infoCommerce Server. We
began shipping our iManage infoLook in August 1999 and in the fourth quarter of
1999 we released an enhanced version of iManage infoLink.

     Our license revenues are based on the number of users and servers. Support
and services revenues consist of customer support, training and consulting.
Customers who license our products generally purchase support contracts, which
are billed on a subscription basis typically covering a 12-month period.
Training services are billed on a per student or per class session basis and
consulting is customarily billed at a fixed daily rate plus our out-of-pocket
expenses.

     Commencing in 1998, we began recognizing revenues based on the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition", or SOP 97-2, as amended by Statement of Position 98-4 and
commencing in 2000, Statement of Position 98-9. Further implementation
guidelines relating to these standards may result in unanticipated changes in
our revenue recognition practices, and these changes could affect our future
revenues and earnings.

     We recognize license revenues upon shipment of a product master if a signed
contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, collection of resulting
receivables is probable and product returns can be reasonably estimated and if
applicable, acceptance criteria have been met. During the fourth quarter of
1999, we implemented a subscription licensing model for a newly released product
whereby the customer licenses the product for one year to 18 month subscription
periods under an arrangement that includes customer support and software updates
during the term of the license. Revenues associated with this software product
and related services are recognized ratably over the applicable license period.
Provisions for estimated warranty costs and sale returns are recorded at the
time of shipment.

     For contracts with multiple obligations, for example, deliverable and
undeliverable products, support and other service, we allocate revenues to the
undelivered element of the contract based on objective evidence of its fair
value. This objective evidence is the sales price of the element when sold
separately by us or the renewal rate specified in the arrangement for licensing
arrangements with terms of one year to 18 months that include customer support
and software updates. We generally do not allow the right of return but have
accepted returns in isolated instances when resellers, system integrators and
distributors have incorrectly ordered product. We recognize revenues allocated
to undelivered products when the criteria for license revenues described above
are met. We recognize support and services revenues, including amounts allocated
from contracts with multiple obligations and for ongoing customer support,
ratably over the period of the support contract. Our support and service
arrangements entitle customers to telephone support and unspecified upgrades and
enhancements. Payments for support and services are generally made in advance
and are non-refundable. For revenues allocated to training and consulting
services or derived from the separate sales of these services, we recognize
revenues as the related services are performed.

     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 support and
services revenues includes salaries and related expenses for the customer
support, professional services and training organization and an allocation of
overhead expenses.

     Our operating expenses are classified as sales and marketing, research and
development, general and administrative and stock-based compensation. 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,

                                       7
<PAGE>   10

there are common recurring expenditures that are typically included in all
operating expense categories, including salaries, employee benefits, incentive
compensation, bonuses, travel costs, professional fees, telephone, communication
and rent and allocated facilities costs. The sales and marketing category of
operating expenses includes additional expenditures specific to the sales group,
such as commissions, and expenditures specific to the marketing group, including
public relations and advertising, trade shows and marketing collateral
materials. In the development of our new products and enhancements of existing
products, the technological feasibility of the software is not established until
substantially all product development is complete. Historically, software
development costs eligible for capitalization have been insignificant, and we
have expensed all costs related to internal research and development as we have
incurred them.

     In connection with the granting of stock options to our employees and
consultants, we have recorded deferred stock-based compensation totaling
approximately $10.4 million through March 31, 2000, of which approximately $3.0
million remains to be amortized. This amount 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 part 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
stock-based compensation expense of approximately $527,000 and $799,000 in the
quarters ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, respectively, which includes
stock-based compensation expense amounts for services provided before the grant
date of the options. Future compensation expense from options granted through
December 31, 1999 will be charged to operations through 2003.

     We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially as we
intend to continue to incur significant research and development costs and
invest heavily in the expansion of our sales, marketing and support
organizations to build an infrastructure to support our long-term growth
strategy. The number of our full-time employees increased from 119 as of
December 31, 1999 to 144 as of March 31, 2000. We will seek to hire additional
employees in the future. To achieve profitability, we will have to increase our
total revenues significantly. We cannot assure you that we will ever attain or
maintain profitability.

     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 operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied
upon as indicative of future performance. Our historic revenue growth rates are
not necessarily sustainable or indicative of our future growth. Our prospects
must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies in early stages of development, particularly companies
in new and rapidly evolving markets. We cannot assure you we will be successful
in addressing these risks and difficulties.

     License Revenues. Our license revenues increased $2.6 million, or 92.9%,
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1999, primarily due to increased market acceptance of our suite of
products and increased prices for these products.

     Support and Services Revenues. Our support and services revenues increased
$998,000, or 128.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to
the corresponding period in 1999. Support and services


                                       8

revenues consisted primarily of customer support and, to a lesser extent,
training and consulting services, associated with the increasing license
revenues during these periods. The increase in absolute dollars in support and
services revenues for the above periods reflects the increasing customer
installation base of iManage suite of products.

</TABLE>

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1999. This increase primarily reflected investments in our sales and
marketing infrastructure, which included an increase of $1.0 million related to
significant personnel-related expenses including salaries, benefits and
commissions, recruiting fees, and related costs of hiring sales management,
sales representatives, sales engineers and marketing personnel. Sales and
marketing employees totaled 30 as of March 31, 1999, and 52 as of March 31,
2000, representing an increase of 73.3%. The increase in sales and marketing
expenses also reflected an increase of $319,000 in travel and entertainment
expenses and an

                                       9
<PAGE>   12

increase of $227,000 in public relations and trade show expenses. Sales and
marketing expenses also include $173,000 and $482,000 for 1999 and 2000,
respectively, for stock-based compensation.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased
$678,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1999 and was primarily related to increased personnel
costs resulting from the increase in the wage rates, benefits and the number of
software developers and quality assurance personnel and third-party consultants
to support our product development and testing activities related to the
development of iManage infoRite, iManage infoLink and iManage infoLook, as well
as enhancements to iManage infoCommerce Server. Our research and development
employees totaled 21 as of March 31, 1999, and 44 as of March 31, 2000,
representing an increase of 109.5%. The decrease in research and development
expenses as a percentage of total for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to the corresponding period in 1999 resulted from increases in our
total revenue. Research and development expenses also include $96,000 and
$152,000 for 1999 and 2000, respectively, for stock-based compensation.

     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
$276,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1999 and was primarily the result of increased personnel
costs of $195,000 resulting from additional finance, executive and
administrative personnel and increases of $141,000 in professional service
costs, primarily accounting and legal, to support the growth of our business
during these periods. General and administrative expenses also include $241,000
and $119,000 for 1999 and 2000, respectively, for stock-based compensation.

     Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $659,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999
reflecting higher invested cash balances as a result of proceeds received from
our initial public offering in the fourth quarter of 1999, which was invested
for the full period ending March 31, 2000, offset by interest expense from our
equipment line of credit.

     Provision for Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the temporary difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax
payable and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In November 1999, we completed the initial public offering of our common
stock and realized net proceeds from the offering of approximately $41.2
million. Prior to the offering, we had funded our operations primarily through
sales of convertible preferred stock, resulting in net proceeds of $10.9 million
through September 30, 1999. To a lesser extent, we have financed our operations
through lending arrangements. As of March 31, 2000, we had cash, cash
equivalents and available for sale marketable securities of $51.8 million and
approximately $3.0 million of available borrowings under a line of credit.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999; $1.5 million was used by operating activities for
the three months ended March 31, 2000. Cash used by operating activities was
primarily a result of payment of expenses associated with the Company's initial
public offering which were reflected as liabilities at December 31, 1999 and by
increases in accounts receivable as a result of increasing revenues. Cash
provided by operations was primarily the result of increasing sales of our
iManage suite of products, receipt of cash associated with license and support
and service revenues in advance of revenue recognition and non-cash charges
associated with stock-based compensation expense.

     For the last two years, our investing activities have consisted of
purchases of property and equipment and, in 2000, the purchase of long-term
available for sale marketable securities.

                                       10
<PAGE>   13

     Net cash used in investing activities totaled $563,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000. We financed the acquisition of property and equipment primarily through a
line of credit through 1999 and currently finance property and equipment with
current cash flow. Our property and equipment largely consists of computer
hardware and software and furniture and fixtures for our increasing employee
base as well as for our management information systems. We anticipate that we
will experience an increase in our capital expenditures consistent with our
anticipated growth in operations, infrastructure and personnel.

     Our financing activities provided $5,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and $77,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

     As of March 31, 2000, we had a revolving line of credit with a bank for
$3.0 million, which bears interest at the lending bank's prime rate plus 0.25%.
Borrowings were limited to the lesser of 80% of eligible accounts receivable or
$3.0 million and were secured by substantially all of our assets. As of March
31, 2000, we could have borrowed approximately $3.0 million but had not borrowed
any amount as of that date. In addition, as of March 31, 2000, we had an
equipment line of credit with a bank for $4.0 million, which bears interest at
the lending bank's prime rate plus 0.5%. As of March 31, 2000, we had borrowed
$2.0 million under the equipment line of credit. Both lines of credit include
covenant restrictions requiring us to:

     (a)  maintain a monthly quick assets to current liabilities ratio of at
          least two to one;

     (b)  maintain a quarterly minimum operating level requiring that we not
          incur a net loss, as defined, greater than $1 million; and

     (c)  limit our ability to declare and pay dividends.

     The net loss, as defined, is determined based upon our operating results,
excluding non-cash charges, such as amortization of goodwill, depreciation, and
stock-based compensation. We were in compliance with these covenants at March
31, 2000.

     We currently anticipate that the net proceeds of our initial public
offering, together with our existing lines of credit and available funds, will
be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital
expenditures at least through the next 12 months. However, we may be required,
or could elect, to seek additional funding before that time. Our future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including our future revenue, the
timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts and
expansion of sales, general and administrative activities, the timing of
introductions of new products and market acceptance of our products. We cannot
assure you that additional equity or debt financing, if required, will be
available on acceptable terms or at all.

FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT FUTURE RESULTS

     Our limited operating history may prevent us from achieving success in our
business.

     We were founded in October 1995 and began shipping our first product in
October 1996. Because of our limited operating results, we have limited insight
into trends that may emerge and affect our business. As a result, an evaluation
of our prospects is difficult to make. The potential revenues and income of our
business and many of the markets we intend to target are unproven.

     We face significant risks because of our limited operating history,
including:

     -    we have a limited number of product offerings and will need to
          successfully introduce new products and enhance our existing offering,
          with, for example, an enhanced version of iManage infoLink, which we
          released in the fourth quarter of 1999 and an enhanced version of
          iManage infoCommerce Server, which we released in the first quarter of
          2000;

                                       11

     -    we need to sell additional licenses and software products to our
          existing customers and expand our customer base beyond legal and other
          professional service firms; and

     -    we need to expand our sales and marketing and customer support
          organization to focus on a broad range of markets and build strategic
          relationships with information technology consultants, systems
          integrators and unified messaging original equipment manufacturers to
          increase sales.

     If we do not successfully address any of these and other challenges, our
business and operating results will be seriously harmed.

     We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $10.0 million as of March
31, 2000 and may not be able to achieve profitability.

     Our failure to significantly increase our total revenues would seriously
harm our business and operating results. To increase our revenues, we must incur
significant expenses to increase our research and development, sales and
marketing and general and administrative resources. If our revenues do not grow
to offset these increased expenses, we will not be profitable. We may not be
able to sustain our recent revenue growth rates. In fact, we may not have any
revenue growth, and our revenues could decline.

     Our quarterly operating results are volatile and difficult to predict. If
we fail to meet the expectations of public market analysts or investors, the
market price of our common stock may decrease significantly.

     Our quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past and
will likely vary significantly in the future. As a result, we believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our operating results are not meaningful and
should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance. In the
future, our operating results may be below the expectations of securities
analysts and investors. Our failure to meet these expectations would likely
cause the price of our common stock to decline. Operating results vary depending
on a number of factors, including:

     -    the size, timing, terms and fluctuations of customer orders; and

     -    the timing of the introduction or enhancement of products by us.

     In addition, 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. Our quarterly revenues could be significantly affected
based on how applicable accounting standards are amended or interpreted over
time.

     Also, the adoption of our subscription licensing model, which requires the
recognition of license revenue over the term of the agreement, may result in
lower quarterly revenues in the period when the products were sold when compared
to quarters in which subscription licenses were not sold.

     Furthermore, our expense levels are relatively fixed and are based, in
part, on expectations of future revenues. Therefore, if revenue levels fall
below our expectations, our net loss will increase because only a small portion
of our expenses vary with our revenues.

     Our revenues will decline significantly if the market does not continue to
accept our iManage suite of products.

     In the three months ending March 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, we derived
substantially all of our license revenues from the sale of licenses for our
iManage infoCommerce Server, iManage infoRite and iManage infoLink products. We
currently expect to continue to derive a majority of our license revenues from
these products. If the market does not continue to accept these products, our
revenues will decline significantly and this could negatively affect our
operating results. Factors that may affect the market acceptance of these
products include the performance, price and total cost of ownership of our
products and the availability, functionality and price of competing products and
technologies. Many of these factors are beyond our control.

                                       12

     We have always been heavily dependent upon law firm customers. If we do not
expand sales of our products to other customers, we may not be able to grow our
revenues consistent with past growth rates and our operating results will
suffer.

     We derived 93% and 87% of our total revenues in the three months ending
March 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, respectively, from the sale of licenses to
law firms and professional service firms. Our future success is substantially
dependent on our ability to sell a significant number of licenses to customers
in other businesses, particularly large multi-national corporations. To sell a
significant number of licenses to these businesses, we must devote time and
resources to train our sales employees to work in industries outside law firms
and professional service firms. We may not be successful in our efforts. Unlike
law firms and professional service organizations, customers in other industries,
including large multi-national corporations, may not require or perceive the
value of our content and collaboration software platform and applications. If we
cannot license our products to customers in other industries, our business could
be significantly adversely affected.

     We may be unable to penetrate additional markets and grow our revenues if
we do not successfully obtain leads or referrals from our customers.

     To increase sales of our e-business content and collaboration software
platform and applications and grow our total revenues, we will try to obtain
leads or referrals from our current customers. If we are unable to maintain
these existing customer relationships, or fail to establish additional
relationships, we will have to devote substantially more resources, both
financial and personnel, to the sales and marketing of our products. As a
result, our success depends in part on the ultimate success of these current
relationships and the willingness of our customers to provide us with these
introductions, referrals and leads. Our current customer relationships do not,
and any future relationships we establish may not, afford us any exclusive
marketing or distribution rights. In addition, at any time, our customers may
terminate their relationships with us, pursue other relationships with our
competitors or develop or acquire products that compete with our products. Even
if our customers provide us with leads and introductions, we may not penetrate
additional markets or grow our revenues.

     If the emerging market for e-business content and collaboration software
does not develop as quickly as we expect, our business will suffer.

     The market for e-business content and collaboration software platform and
applications has only recently begun to develop, is rapidly evolving and will
likely have an increasing number of competitors. We cannot be certain that a
viable market for our products will emerge or be sustainable. If the e-business
content and collaboration software market fails to develop, or develops more
slowly than expected, demand for our products will be less than anticipated and
our business and operating results would be seriously harmed.

     Furthermore, to be successful in this emerging market, we must be able to
differentiate our business from our competitors through our product and service
offerings and brand name recognition. We may not be successful in
differentiating our business or achieving widespread market acceptance of our
products and services. In addition, enterprises that have already invested
substantial resources in other methods of managing their content and
collaborative process may be reluctant or slow to adopt a new approach that may
replace, limit or compete with their existing systems.

     Due to our lengthy and variable sales cycle, we may not be able to predict
when or if sales will be made and we may experience unplanned shortfalls in
revenues.

     Our products have an unpredictable sales cycle that contributes to the
uncertainty of our future operating results. Customers often view the purchase
of our products as a significant and strategic decision, and this decision
typically involves a considerable commitment of resources and is influenced by
the customers' budget cycles. Selling our products also requires us to educate
potential customers on their use and benefits because our e-business content and
collaboration software is a new category of product. As a result, our products
have a lengthy sales cycle, which has historically ranged from approximately two
to six months.


                                       13
<PAGE>   16


     As potential customers evaluate our products and before they place an order
with us, we typically expend significant sales and marketing expenses. 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 unplanned
shortfalls in revenues. As a result, we have only a limited ability to forecast
the timing and size of sales of our products.

     Competition from providers of software enabling content and collaboration
management among businesses may increase, which could cause us to reduce our
prices, and result in reduced gross margins or loss of market share.

     The market for products that enable companies to manage and share content
and collaborate throughout an extended enterprise is new, highly fragmented,
rapidly changing and increasingly competitive. We expect competition to continue
to intensify, which could result in price reductions for our products, reduced
gross margins and loss of market share, any of which would have a material
adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

     If our efforts to enhance existing products and introduce new products are
not successful, we may not be able to generate demand for our products.

     Our future success depends on our ability to provide a comprehensive
e-business content and collaboration software solution. To provide this
comprehensive solution, we must continually develop and introduce high quality,
cost-effective products as well as product enhancements on a timely basis. If
the market does not accept new products, our business will suffer and our stock
price will likely fall.

     In addition, while our current product offerings have the ability to manage
many types of content, such as graphics, video, text, audio and data, we are
dependent upon third parties to develop additional interfaces that will enable
the deposit of other types of structured relational data, particularly data
generated by enterprise resource planning systems, into the iManage infoCommerce
Server. These third parties may not be able to develop these technologies, and
we may therefore not be able to continue to offer a comprehensive e-business
content and collaboration software solution. Our failure to offer a
comprehensive solution would seriously harm our business.

     If our products cannot scale to meet the demands of thousands of concurrent
users, our targeted customers may not license our solutions, which will cause
our revenue to decline.

     Our strategy is to target large organizations that, because of the
significant amounts of information and content that they generate and use,
require our e-business content and collaboration software solution. For this
strategy to succeed, our software products must be highly scalable; that is,
they must be able to accommodate thousands of concurrent users. If our products
cannot scale to accommodate a large number of concurrent users, our target
markets will not accept our products and our business and operating results will
suffer.

     While we and independent test laboratories have tested the scalability of
our products in simulations, we have not had the opportunity to observe the
performance of our products in the context of an actual large-scale, that is,
tens to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, customer implementation. If
our customers cannot successfully implement large-scale deployments, or if they
determine that our products cannot accommodate large-scale deployments, our
customers will not license our solutions and this will materially adversely
affect our financial condition and operating results.

     Our products might not be compatible with all major platforms, which could
inhibit sales and harm our business.

     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 Informix,
Oracle and SQL Server and software applications including Microsoft Office,
Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise. Any changes to these platforms could require
us to modify our products and could cause us to delay releasing a product until
the updated

                                       14
<PAGE>   17

version of that platform or application has been released. As a result,
customers could delay purchases until they determine how our products will
operate with these updated platforms or applications.

     In addition, our iManage infoCommerce Server runs on the Windows NT and
Windows 2000 platform. If a customer does not currently use these platforms and
does not choose to adopt these platforms, we will be unable to license our
products to this customer. Furthermore, some of our products do not yet run on
other popular operating systems, such as the UNIX operating system. If another
platform becomes more widely used, we could be required to convert our product
to that platform. We may not succeed in these efforts, and even if we do,
potential customers may not choose to license our product.

     Defects in our software products could diminish demand for our products.

     Our software products are complex and may contain errors that may be
detected at any point in the life of the product. 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 revenues, delay in market acceptance and sales, diversion
of development resources, injury to our reputation or increased service and
warranty costs. If any of these were to occur, our business would be adversely
affected and our stock price could fall.

     Because our products are generally used in systems with other vendors'
products, they 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 are unable to respond to rapid market changes due to changing
technology and evolving industry standards, our future success will be adversely
affected.

     The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new service and product
introductions and changes in customer demands. Our future success will depend to
a substantial degree on our ability to offer products and services that
incorporate leading technology, and respond to technological advances and
emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis.
You should be aware that:

     -    our technology or systems may become obsolete upon the introduction of
          alternative technologies, such as products that better manage various
          types of content; and

     -    we may not have sufficient resources to develop or acquire new
          technologies or to introduce new products or services capable of
          competing with future technologies or service offerings.

     Our products may lack essential functionality if we are unable to obtain
and maintain licenses to third-party software and applications.

     We rely on software that we license from third parties, including software
that is integrated with internally developed software and used in our products
to perform key functions. For example, we license Search '97 from Verity, Inc.
and we license Outside In Viewer Technology and Outside In HTML Export from INSO
Corporation. The functionality of our products therefore depends on our ability
to integrate these third-party technologies into our products. Furthermore, we
may license additional software from third parties in the future to add
functionality to our products. If our efforts to integrate this third-party
software into our products are not successful, our customers may not license our
products and our business will suffer.

     In addition, we would be seriously harmed if the providers from whom we
license software ceased to deliver and support reliable products, enhance their
current products or respond to emerging industry standards. Moreover, the
third-party software may not continue to be available to us on commercially
reasonable terms or at all. Our license agreement with Verity terminates in
January 2003 and our agreement with INSO terminates in December 2001. Each of
these license agreements may be renewed only with the other party's written
consent. The loss of, or

                                       15
<PAGE>   18

inability to maintain or obtain licensed software, could result in shipment
delays or reductions. Furthermore, we might be forced to limit the features
available in our current or future product offerings. Either alternative could
seriously harm our business and operating results.

     If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we could lose market
share, incur costly litigation expenses or lose valuable assets.

     We believe that our continued success depends on protecting our proprietary
technology. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, service mark, trade
secret and copyright law and contractual restrictions to protect the proprietary
aspects of our technology. In addition, we enter into confidentiality or license
agreements with our employees and consultants, and control access to and
distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information.
These legal and practical protections afford only limited protection. Despite
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt
to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use our proprietary
information. These attempts, if successful, could cause us to lose market share
and thus harm our business and operating results. Litigation may be necessary to
enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and to
determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any
litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and
could seriously harm our business and operating results. In addition, as we
expand our international sales, we may find that the laws of many countries,
particularly those in the Asia/Pacific region, do not protect our proprietary
rights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States.

     Others may bring infringement claims against us which could be time
consuming and expensive for us to defend.

     Other companies, including our competitors, may obtain patents or other
proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to
make, use or sell our products. For example, we may discover that third parties
have developed similar or competing technologies to manage, organize and deliver
information and content. As a result, we may be found to infringe on the
proprietary rights of others. Furthermore, companies in the software market are
increasingly bringing suits that allege infringement of their proprietary
rights, particularly patent rights. We could incur substantial costs to defend
any litigation, and intellectual property litigation could force us to do one or
more of the following:

     -    cease using key aspects of our e-business content and collaboration
          software solution that incorporate the challenged intellectual
          property;

     -    obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual
          property right; and

     -    redesign some or all of our products to avoid infringing.

     In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our
failure or inability to license the infringed technology, our business and
operating results would be significantly harmed.

     We could be subject to product liability claims if our customers'
information or content is damaged through the use of our products.

     If software errors or design defects in our products cause damage to
customers' data and our agreements do not protect us from related product
liability claims, our business, financial condition and operating results may be
materially adversely affected. Errors, bugs or viruses may result in the loss of
market acceptance or the loss of customer data. Our agreements with customers
that attempt to limit our exposure to product liability claims may not be
enforceable in jurisdictions where we operate.

     We may be unable to retain our current key personnel and attract additional
qualified personnel to operate and expand our business.

     Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of
the members of our senior management and other key personnel, such as Mahmood
Panjwani, our president and chief executive officer, and

                                       16
<PAGE>   19

Rafiq Mohammadi, our chief technology officer. We may not be successful in
attracting, assimilating or retaining qualified personnel in the future. None of
our senior management or other key personnel is bound by an employment
agreement. If we lose one or more of these key employees, our business and
operating results could be seriously harmed. In addition, our future success
will depend largely on our ability to continue attracting and retaining highly
skilled personnel. Like other high-technology companies, we face intense
competition for qualified personnel.

     Our total revenues will not increase if we fail to successfully manage our
growth and expansion.

     Our historical growth has placed, and any further growth is likely to
continue to place, a significant strain on our limited resources. We have grown
from 119 employees at December 31, 1999 to 144 employees at March 31, 2000. To
be successful, we will need to implement additional management information
systems, improve our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems
and controls, train new employees and maintain close coordination among our
executive, research and development, accounting, finance, marketing, sales and
operations organizations. Any failure to manage growth effectively could
seriously harm our business and operating results.

     As we expand our operations internationally, we will face significant risks
in doing business in foreign countries.

    A key component to our business strategy is to expand our existing sales and
marketing activities internationally, particularly in Asia, Australia, Europe,
New Zealand and the United Kingdom. If our efforts are successful, we will be
subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities,
including:

     -    costs of customizing our products for foreign countries, including
          localization, translation and conversion to international and other
          foreign technology standards;

     -    compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws
          and regulations, including changes in regulatory requirements that may
          limit our ability to sell our software in particular countries;

     -    import and export restrictions, tariffs and greater difficulty in
          collecting accounts receivable; and

     -    foreign currency-related risks if a significant portion of our
          revenues become denominated in foreign currencies.

Our failure to successfully address any of these risks will hurt our operations
and may prevent our total revenues from growing.

     The proposed Thoughtstar acquisition presents risks to our business.

     In April 2000, we agreed to acquire Thoughtstar, Inc. The acquisition has
not yet been consummated and if consummated, we could face the following risks:

     -    difficulties in the assimilation of acquired personnel, operations,
          technologies or products of Thoughtstar;

     -    difficulty in retaining key personnel both before and after the
          acquisition;

     -    the failure to realize the synergies and other perceived advantages
          resulting from the acquisition;

     -    unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition;

     -    diversion of management's attention from our other business concerns;
          and

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

     Future acquisitions may be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business,
dilute stockholder value or divert management attention.

                                       17
<PAGE>   20



     As part of our business strategy, we may find it necessary to acquire
additional businesses, products or technologies that we feel could complement or
expand our business, increase our market coverage, enhance our technical
capabilities or offer other types of growth opportunities. If we identify an
appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not be able to successfully negotiate
the terms of the acquisition, finance the acquisition, or integrate the acquired
business, products or technologies into our existing business and operations.
Furthermore, completing a potential acquisition and integrating an acquired
business will cause significant diversions of management time and other
resources. Since we have never acquired another business, we may experience
unexpected difficulties and obstacles in acquiring and integrating new
operations.


     If we consummate a significant acquisition in which the consideration
consists of stock or other securities, your equity could be significantly
diluted. If we were to proceed with a significant acquisition in which the
consideration included cash, we could be required to use a substantial portion
of our available cash to consummate that acquisition. Acquisition financing may
not be available on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, we may be required
to amortize significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets in
connection with future acquisitions, which would seriously harm our operating
results.

     We may be unable to meet our future capital requirements which would limit
our ability to grow.

     We may need to seek additional funding in the future. We do not know if we
will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. In
addition, if we issue equity securities, stockholders may experience additional
dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges
senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If we cannot raise funds on
acceptable terms, if and when needed, we may not be able to develop or enhance
our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive
pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could seriously harm our
business.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

     We develop products in the United States and market our products in North
America, and to a lesser extent in Europe and Asia/Pacific regions. As a result,
our financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange
rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Because substantially 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.

INTEREST RATE RISK

     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, including money market funds and commercial paper, and
long-term investments mature between one and two years. Our interest expense is
also sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates because
the interest rate charged varies with the prime rate. Due to the nature of our
investments, we believe that there is not a material risk exposure.

                                       18

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     (d) Use of Proceeds. Our initial public offering of stock was November 17,
     1999 at $11.00 per share for an aggregate initial public offering of $45.5
     million.

     The managing underwriters in our initial public offering were Robertson
Stephens International, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and C.E. Unterberg, Towbin.
We registered the shares of the common stock sold in the offering under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No.

17, 1999.

     We paid a total of $3.2 million in underwriting discounts and commissions
and approximately $1.1 million has been or will be paid for costs and expenses
related to the offering. None of the costs and expenses related to the offering
were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors, officers, general
partners or their associates, persons owing 10% or more of any class of our
equity securities or any of our affiliates.

     After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering
expenses, we received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $41.2
million. The net offering proceeds have been used for general corporate
purposes, to provide working capital to develop products and to expand our
operations. Funds that have not been used have been invested in money market
funds, certificate of deposits and other investment grade securities. We also
may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses,
technologies, products or services.

Bank, including, without limitation, Account Number _____________________ for
payments of principal and interest due on the Obligations and any other amounts
owing by Borrower to Bank. Bank will notify Borrower of all debits which Bank
has made against Borrower's accounts. Any such debits against Borrower's
accounts in no way shall be deemed a set-off. Any interest not paid when due
shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest
shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

                (c)     Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from
time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be
increased or decreased effective as of 12:01 a.m. on the day the Prime Rate is
changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest
chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual number of days elapsed.

        2.4.    Crediting Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of
payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment, whether directed to Borrower's deposit
account with Bank or to the Obligations or otherwise, shall be immediately
applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a
payment in respect of the Obligations unless such payment is of immediately
available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment
is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon
Pacific time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of
business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank
under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of
acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead
be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case
may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

        2.5.    Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:

                (a)     Facility Fee. A Facility Fee equal to $15,000.00, which
fee shall be due on the Closing Date and shall be fully earned and
non-refundable;

                (b)     Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees. Bank's
customary fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for Bank's audits of
Borrower's Accounts, and for each appraisal of Collateral and financial analysis
and examination of Borrower performed from time to time by Bank or its agents;

                (c)     Bank Expenses. Upon demand from Bank, including, without
limitation, upon the date hereof, all Bank Expenses incurred through the date
hereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and, after the date
hereof, all Bank Expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, as
and when they become due.

        2.6.    Additional Costs. In case of any change in any law, regulation,
treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any
court or any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or
the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) in each case
after the date of this Agreement:

                (a)     subjects Bank to any tax with respect to payments of
principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or
otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes
on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the United States of America or any
political subdivision thereof);

                (b)     imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit
insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held
by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, Bank; or

                (c)     imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to
its performance under this Agreement,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce
the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to
any loans, Bank shall notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank
the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense
as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon
presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth Bank's
calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed
true and correct absent manifest error.

        2.7.    Term. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement shall
become effective on the Closing Date and, subject to Section 12.7, shall
continue in full force and effect until the Loans and all interest thereon have
been fully and finally paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the
right to terminate its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement immediately
and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default.

4.      CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

        4.1.    Grant of Security Interest. Borrower grants and pledges to Bank
a continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired
or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt payment of any and all
Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its
covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in the
Schedule, such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security
interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will, subject to Permitted
Liens, constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral
acquired after the date hereof. Borrower acknowledges that Bank may, following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, place a "hold"
on any Deposit Account pledged as Collateral to secure the Obligations.
Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, Bank's Lien on the Collateral
shall remain in effect for so long as any Obligations are outstanding.

        4.2.    Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Borrower shall
from time to time execute and deliver to Bank, at the request of Bank, all
Negotiable Collateral, all financing statements and other documents that Bank
may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Bank, to perfect and continue
perfected Bank's security interests in the Collateral and in order to fully
consummate all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

        4.3.    Right to Inspect. Bank (through any of its officers, employees,
or agents) shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice, from time to time
during Borrower's usual business hours, to inspect Borrower's Books and to make
copies thereof and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to
verify Borrower's financial condition or the amount, condition of, or any other
matter relating to, the Collateral.

5.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

        5.1.    Due Organization and Qualification. Borrower and each Subsidiary
is a corporation duly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state
of incorporation and qualified and licensed to

<PAGE>   15

do business in, and is in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of
its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified.

        5.2.    Due Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and
performance of the Loan Documents are within Borrower's powers, have been duly
authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any
provision contained in Borrower's Articles/Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material
agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound except to
the extent that certain intellectual property agreements prohibit the assignment
of the rights thereunder to a third party without Borrower's or other party's
consent and the Loan Documents constitute an assignment Borrower is not in
default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound,
which default would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        5.3.    No Prior Encumbrances. Borrower has good and indefeasible title
to the Collateral, free and clear of Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

        5.4.    Bona Fide Eligible Accounts. The Eligible Accounts are bona fide
existing obligations. The service or property giving rise to such Eligible
Accounts has been performed or delivered to the account debtor or to the account
debtor's agent for immediate shipment to and unconditional acceptance by the
account debtor. Borrower has not received notice of actual or imminent
Insolvency Proceeding of any account debtor whose accounts are included in any
Borrowing Base Certificate as an Eligible Account.

        5.5.    Merchantable Inventory. All Inventory is in all material
respects of good and marketable quality, free from all material defects.

        5.6.    Intellectual Property. Borrower is the sole owner of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, except for non-exclusive licenses granted by
Borrower to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each of the
Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no
claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property Collateral
violates the rights of any third party. Except for and upon the filing with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office with respect to the Patents and
Trademarks and the Register of Copyrights with respect to the Copyrights and
Mask Works necessary to perfect the security interests created hereunder, and
except as has been already made or obtained, no authorization, approval or other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States governmental
authority or United States regulatory body is required either (i) for the grant
by Borrower of the security interest granted hereby or for the execution,
delivery or performance of Loan Documents by Borrower in the United States or
(ii) for the perfection in the United States or the exercise by Bank of its
rights and remedies hereunder.

        5.7.    Name; Location of Chief Executive Office. Except as disclosed in
the Schedule, Borrower has not done business and will not without at least 30
days prior written notice to Bank do business under any name other than that

is located at the address indicated in Section 10 hereof.

        5.8.    Litigation. Except as set forth in the Schedule, there are no
actions or proceedings pending, or, to Borrower's knowledge, threatened by or
against Borrower or any Subsidiary before any court or administrative agency in

<PAGE>   16

        5.9.    No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements. All
consolidated financial statements related to Borrower and any Subsidiary that
have been delivered by Borrower to Bank fairly present in all material respects
Borrower's consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and
Borrower's consolidated results of operations for the period then ended. There
has not been a material adverse change in the consolidated financial condition
of Borrower since the date of the most recent of such financial statements
submitted to Bank on or about the Closing Date.

        5.10.   Solvency. The fair saleable value of Borrower's assets
(including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its
liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its
debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

        5.11.   Regulatory Compliance. Borrower and each Subsidiary has met the
minimum funding requirements of ERISA with respect to any employee benefit plans
subject to ERISA. No event has occurred resulting from Borrower's failure to
comply with ERISA that is reasonably likely to result in Borrower's incurring
any liability that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Borrower is not an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in
the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System). Borrower has complied with all the provisions of

laws, ordinances or rules applicable to it, violation of which could have a
Material Adverse Effect.

properties or assets has ever been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the
best of Borrower's knowledge, by previous owners or operators, in the disposal
of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or transport, any hazardous
waste or hazardous substance other than in accordance with applicable law; to
the best of Borrower's knowledge, none of Borrower's properties or assets has
ever been designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental
protection statute as a hazardous waste or hazardous substance disposal site, or
a candidate for closure pursuant to any environmental protection statute; no
lien arising under any environmental protection statute has attached to any
revenues or to any real or personal property owned by Borrower or any
Subsidiary; and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received a summons,
citation, notice, or directive from the Environmental Protection Agency or any
other federal, state or other governmental agency concerning any action or
omission by Borrower or any Subsidiary resulting in the release, or other
disposition of hazardous waste or hazardous substances into the environment.

        5.13.   Taxes. Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be
filed all tax returns required to be filed on a timely basis, and has paid, or
has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes reflected therein,
except those being contested in good faith by proper proceedings with adequate
reserves under GAAP.

        5.14.   Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership
interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted
Investments.

        5.15.   Government Consents. Borrower and each Subsidiary has obtained
all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings
with, and given all notices to, all governmental authorities that are necessary
for the continued operation of Borrower's business as



                                       16
<PAGE>   17

currently conducted except where the failure to obtain such consent, approval or
authorization, to make any such declaration or filing or to give any such notice
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        5.16.   Year 2000 Compliance. Borrower has conducted a comprehensive
review and assessment of Borrower's systems and equipment applications and made
inquiry of Borrower's key suppliers, vendors and customers with respect to the
Year 2000 Problem. Based on that review and inquiry, Borrower does not believe
the Year 2000 Problem, including costs of remediation, will have a Material
Adverse Effect. Borrower has developed adequate contingency plans to ensure
uninterrupted and unimpaired business operation in the event of a failure of its
own or a third party's systems or equipment due to the Year 2000 Problem,
including those of vendors, customers, and suppliers, as well as a general
failure of or interruption in its communications and delivery infrastructure.

        5.17.   Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement
made by Borrower in any certificate or written statement furnished to Bank by
Borrower in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement,
taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in
such certificates or statements not misleading it being recognized by the Bank
that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower are based on Borrower's
reasonable and good faith assessment of the probabilities of future events and
that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections
and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

<PAGE>   22

                (a)     If Borrower fails to perform any obligation under
Sections 6.3, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 6.10 or 6.11 or violates any of the covenants
contained in Article 7 of this Agreement, or

                (b)     If Borrower fails or neglects to perform, keep, or
observe any other material term, provision, condition, covenant, or agreement
contained in this Agreement, in any of the Loan Documents, or in any other
present or future agreement between Borrower and Bank and as to any default
under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be
cured, has failed to cure such default within ten days after the occurrence
thereof; provided that if the default cannot by its nature be cured within the
ten day period or cannot after diligent attempts by Borrower be cured within
such 10 day period, and such default is likely to be cured within a reasonable
time, then Borrower shall have an additional reasonable period (which shall not
in any case exceed 30 days) to attempt to cure such default, and within such
reasonable time period the failure to have cured such default shall not be
deemed an Event of Default (provided that no Loans will be required to be made

        8.3.    Material Adverse Effect. If there occurs any event which has a
Material Adverse Effect;

        8.4.    Attachment. If any material portion of Borrower's assets is

been removed, discharged or rescinded within ten days, or if Borrower is
enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to
conduct all or any material part of its business affairs, or if a judgment or
other claim becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any material portion of
Borrower's assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of
record with respect to any of Borrower's assets by the United States Government,
or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or by any state, county,
municipal, or governmental agency, and the same is not paid within ten days
after Borrower receives notice thereof, provided that none of the foregoing
shall constitute an Event of Default where such action or event is stayed or an
adequate bond has been posted pending a good faith contest by Borrower (provided
that no Credit Extensions will be required to be made during such cure period);

        8.5.    Insolvency. If Borrower becomes insolvent, or if an Insolvency
Proceeding is commenced by Borrower, or if an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced
against Borrower and is not dismissed or stayed within 30 days (provided that no
Loans will be made prior to the dismissal of such Insolvency Proceeding);

        8.6.    Other Agreements. If there is a default in any agreement to
which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by
such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the
maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $100,000.00 or that could
have a Material Adverse Effect;

        8.7.    Subordinated Debt. If Borrower makes any payment on account of

satisfaction or stay of such judgment); or

material misstatement exists now or hereafter in any warranty or representation
set forth herein or in any certificate or writing delivered to Bank by Borrower
or any Person acting on Borrower's behalf pursuant to this Agreement or to
induce Bank to enter into this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

9.      BANK'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

        9.1.    Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its election, without notice of
its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of
which are authorized by Borrower:

                (a)     Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and
payable (provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
Section 8.5 all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without any
action by Bank);

                (b)     Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the
benefit of Borrower under this Agreement or under any other agreement between
Borrower and Bank;

                (c)     Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with
account debtors for amounts, upon terms and in whatever order that Bank
reasonably considers advisable;

                (d)     Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such
payments and do such acts as Bank considers necessary or reasonable to protect
its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the
Collateral if Bank so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Bank as
Bank may designate. Borrower authorizes Bank to enter the premises where the
Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any
part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance,
charge, or lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to
its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith.
With respect to any of Borrower's premises, Borrower hereby grants Bank a
license to enter such premises and to occupy the same, without charge in order
to exercise any of Bank's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity,
or otherwise;

                (e)     Without notice to Borrower set off and apply to the
Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or
(ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower held by Bank;

                (f)     Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair,
prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for
herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free
license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1,
to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, mask works,
rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service
marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it
pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale,
and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank's exercise of its rights
under this Section 9.1, Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise
agreements shall inure to Bank's benefit;

                (g)     Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale,
or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms,
in such manner and at such places (including



                                       23
<PAGE>   24

Borrower's premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply
the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in whatever manner or order it deems
appropriate;

                (h)     Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale, or
at any private sale as permitted by law;

                (i)     Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the
Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower; and

                (j)     Bank shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to
use the Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent reasonably necessary to
permit Bank to exercise its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default.

        9.2.    Power of Attorney. Effective only upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints
Bank (and any of Bank's designated officers, or employees) as Borrower's true
and lawful attorney to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify
account debtors of Bank's security interest in the Accounts; (b) endorse
Borrower's name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may
come into Bank's possession; (c) sign Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of
lading relating to any Account, drafts against account debtors, schedules and
assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to account
debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under and decisions with
respect to Borrower's policies of insurance; and (e) settle and adjust disputes
and claims respecting the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts
and upon terms which Bank determines to be reasonable; (f) to modify, in its
sole discretion, any intellectual property security agreement entered into
between Borrower and Bank without first obtaining Borrower's approval of or
signature to such modification by amending Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C
thereof, as appropriate, to include reference to any right, title or interest in
any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, Mask Works acquired by Borrower after the
execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in
any Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, or Mask Works in which Borrower no longer
has or claims any right, title or interest; (g) to file, in its sole discretion,
one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto,
relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower where
permitted by law; and (h) to transfer the Intellectual Property Collateral into
the name of Bank or a third party to the extent permitted under the UCC provided
Bank may exercise such power of attorney to sign the name of Borrower on any of
the documents described in Section 4.2 regardless of whether an Event of Default
has occurred. The appointment of Bank as Borrower's attorney in fact, and each
and every one of Bank's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed
and Bank's obligation to provide Loans hereunder is terminated.

        9.3.    Accounts Collection. Effective only upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing
funds to Borrower of Bank's security interest in such funds and verify the
amount of such Account. Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for
Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank's trustee, and if requested or
required by Bank, immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original
form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.

        9.4.    Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish
any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required
under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following:
(a) upon reasonable notice to Borrower, make payment of the same or any part
thereof; (b) set up such reserves under the Revolving Commitment as Bank deems
necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c)
obtain and maintain insurance policies



                                       24
<PAGE>   25

of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with
respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited
by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable,
and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and
shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not
constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a
waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

        9.5.    Bank's Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with
reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or
responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage
thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any
diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of
loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

        9.6.    Remedies Cumulative. Bank's rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative.
Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not expressly set forth herein as
provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right
or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of
Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank
shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank
shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank
and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given.

        9.7.    Demand; Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of
protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice
of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement,
extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.

10.     NOTICES

with, the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles
of conflicts of law. Each of Borrower and Bank hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts located in the County of Santa
Clara, State of California. BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT
OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN,
INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER

INDUCEMENT FOR IT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND

WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

                         AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE INSURANCE

TO:           SILICON VALLEY BANK

FROM:         NETRIGHT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Borrower")

        INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Borrower understands that insurance coverage is
required in connection with the extending of a loan or the providing of other
financial accommodations to Borrower by Bank. These requirements are set forth
in the Loan Documents. The following minimum insurance coverages must be
provided on the following described collateral (the "Collateral"):

<TABLE>
<S>                                <C>
              Collateral:          All Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures.
              Type:                All risks, including fire, theft and liability.

              Amount:              Full insurable value.
              Basis:               Replacement value.

              Endorsements:        Loss payable clause to Bank with stipulation that coverage will not be
                                   cancelled or diminished without a minimum of 20 days prior written notice
                                   to Bank.
</TABLE>

        INSURANCE COMPANY. Borrower may obtain insurance from any insurance
company Borrower may choose that is reasonably acceptable to Bank. Borrower
understands that credit may not be denied solely because insurance was not
purchased through Bank.

        FAILURE TO PROVIDE INSURANCE. Borrower agrees to deliver to Bank, on or
before closing, evidence of the required insurance as provided above, with an
effective date of ______________, 19___, or earlier. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that if Borrower fails to provide any required insurance or fails to
continue such insurance in force, Bank may do so at Borrower's expense as
provided in the Loan and Security Agreement. The cost of such insurance, at the
option of Bank, shall be payable on demand or shall be added to the indebtedness
as provided in the security document. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IF BANK SO
PURCHASES ANY SUCH INSURANCE, THE INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE LIMITED PROTECTION
AGAINST PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE COLLATERAL, UP TO THE BALANCE OF THE LOAN;
HOWEVER, BORROWER'S EQUITY IN THE COLLATERAL MAY NOT BE INSURED. IN ADDITION,
THE INSURANCE MAY NOT PROVIDE ANY PUBLIC LIABILITY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
INDEMNIFICATION AND MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY FINANCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY LAWS.

        AUTHORIZATION. For purposes of insurance coverage on the Collateral,
Borrower authorizes Bank to provide to any person (including any insurance agent
or company) all information Bank deems appropriate, whether regarding the
Collateral, the loan or other financial accommodations, or both.

        this Agreement, Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued Letters of

        whichever is less, minus (ii) the amount of all outstanding Revolving
        Loans, the amount of all outstanding Cash Management Advances and the

        have an expiry date no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity
        Date provided that Borrower's Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation
        shall be secured by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after

        extended by Bank. All Letters of Credit shall be, in form and substance,

                                (c)     Borrower may request that Bank issue a
        Letter of Credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars.
        If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank
        shall treat such demand as a Revolving Loan to Borrower of the
        equivalent of the amount thereof (plus cable charges) in United States
        currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco,
        California, for sales of that other currency for cable transfer to the
        country of which it is the currency.

                                (d)     Upon the issuance of any letter of
        credit payable in a currency other than United States Dollars, Bank
        shall create a reserve under the Revolving Commitment for letters of
        credit against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an amount
        equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such letter of credit.
        The amount of such reserve may be amended by Bank from time to time to
        account for fluctuations in the exchange rate. The availability of funds
        under the Revolving Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such
        reserve for so long as such letter of credit remains outstanding.

                        2.1.4.  Foreign Exchange Contract; Foreign Exchange
Settlements.

                                (a)     Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
        Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts (the "Exchange
        Contracts") not to exceed an aggregate amount of $5,000,000.00 (the
        "Contract Limit"), pursuant to which Bank shall sell to or purchase from
        Borrower foreign currency on a spot or future basis. Borrower shall not
        request any Exchange Contracts at any time it is out of compliance with
        any of the provisions of this Agreement. All Exchange Contracts must
        provide for delivery of settlement on or before the Revolving Maturity
        Date. The amount available under the Revolving Commitment at any time
        shall be reduced by the following amounts (the "Foreign Exchange
        Reserve") on any given day (the "Determination Date"): (i) on all
        outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or
        settlement allowed more than two business days after the Determination
        Date, 10% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts; plus (ii) on
        all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected
        or settlement allowed within two business days after the Determination
        Date, 100% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts.

                                (b)     Bank may, in its discretion, terminate
        the Exchange Contracts at any time (a) that an Event of Default occurs
        or (b) that there is no sufficient availability under the Revolving
        Commitment and Borrower does not have available funds in its bank
        account to satisfy the Foreign Exchange Reserve. If Bank terminates the
        Exchange Contracts, and without limitation of any applicable
        indemnities, Borrower agrees to reimburse Bank for any and all fees,
        costs and expenses relating thereto or arising in connection therewith.

                                (c)     Borrower shall not permit the total
        gross amount of all Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be
        effected and settlement allowed in any two business day period to be
        more than $5,000,000.00 (the "Settlement Limit") nor shall Borrower
        permit the total gross amount of all Exchange Contracts to which
        Borrower is a party, outstanding at any



                                      -3-

        one time, to exceed the Contract Limit. Notwithstanding the above,
        however, the amount which may be settled in any two (2) business day
        period may be increased above the Settlement Limit up to, but in no
        event to exceed, the amount of the Contract Limit under either of the
        following circumstances:

                                (i)     if there is sufficient availability
        under the Revolving Commitment in the amount of the Foreign Exchange
        Reserve as of each Determination Date, provided that Bank in advance
        shall reserve the full amount of the Foreign Exchange Reserve against
        the Revolving Commitment; or

                                (ii)    if there is insufficient availability
        under the Revolving Commitment, as to settlements within any two (2)
        business day period, provided that Bank, in its sole discretion, may:
        (A) verify good funds overseas prior to crediting Borrower's deposit
        account with Bank (in the case of Borrower's sale of foreign currency);
        or (B) debit Borrower's deposit account with Bank prior to delivering
        foreign currency overseas (in the case of Borrower's purchase of foreign
        currency).

                                (d)     In the case of Borrower's purchase of
        foreign currency, Borrower in advance shall instruct Bank upon
        settlement either to treat the settlement amount as an advance under the
        Revolving Commitment, or to debit Borrower's account for the amount
        settled.

                                (e)     Borrower shall execute all standard form
        applications and agreements of Bank in connection with the Exchange
        Contracts and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications
        and agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and charges of Bank
        in connection with the Exchange Contracts.

                                (f)     Without limiting any of the other terms
        of this Agreement or any such standard form applications and agreement
        of Bank, Borrower agrees to indemnify Bank and hold it harmless, from
        and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands,
        obligations, actions, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
        attorneys' fees of counsel of Bank's choice), of every nature and
        description which it may sustain or incur, based upon, arising out of,
        or in any way relating to any of the Exchange Contracts or any
        transactions relating thereto or contemplated thereby.

                        2.1.5.  June 1999 Equipment Loans.

        Equipment Commitment. Borrower shall deliver to Bank, at the time of

                      2.1.3. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
                      Agreement, Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued
                      Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower in an
                      aggregate outstanding face amount not to exceed (i) the
                      Revolving Commitment or the Borrowing Base, whichever is
                      less, minus (ii) the amount of all outstanding Revolving
                      Loans, the amount of all outstanding Cash Management
                      Advances and the Foreign Exchange Reserve; provided that

                      by cash on terms acceptable to Bank at any time after the
                      Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is
                      not extended by Bank. All Letters of Credit shall be, in
                      form and substance, acceptable to Bank in its sole
                      discretion and shall be subject to the terms and
                      conditions of Bank's form of standard Application and
                      Letter of Credit Agreement.

               (d)    Section 2.1.4.(a) is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:

                      2.1.4. (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement,
                      Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts (the
                      "Exchange Contracts") not to exceed an aggregate amount of
                      $3,000,000.00 (the "Contract Limit"), pursuant to which
                      Bank shall sell to or purchase from Borrower foreign
                      currency on a spot or future basis. Borrower shall not
                      request any Exchange Contracts at any time it is out of
                      compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
                      All Exchange Contracts must provide for delivery of
                      settlement on or before the Revolving Maturity Date. The
                      amount available under the Revolving Commitment at any
                      time shall be reduced by the following amounts (the
                      "Foreign Exchange Reserve") on any given day (the
                      "Determination Date"): (i) on all outstanding Exchange
                      Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or
                      settlement allowed more than two business days after the
                      Determination Date, 10% of the gross amount of the
                      Exchange Contracts; plus (ii) on all outstanding Exchange
                      Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or
                      settlement allowed within two business days after the
                      Determination Date, 100% of the gross amount of the
                      Exchange Contracts.

               (e)    Section 2.1.4(c) is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:

                      2.1.4. (c) Borrower shall not permit the total gross
                      amount of all Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to
                      be effected and settlement allowed in any two business day
                      period to be more than


                                      -2-
<PAGE>   48


                      $3,000,000.00 (the "Settlement Limit") nor shall Borrower
                      permit the total gross amount of all Exchange Contracts to
                      which Borrower is a party, outstanding at any one time, to
                      exceed the Contract Limit. Notwithstanding the above,
                      however, the amount which may be settled in any two (2)
                      business day period may be increased above the Settlement
                      Limit up to, but in no event to exceed, the amount of the
                      Contract Limit under either of the following
                      circumstances:

                             (i) if there is sufficient availability under the
                      Revolving Commitment in the amount of the Foreign Exchange
                      Reserve as of each Determination Date, provided that Bank
                      in advance shall reserve the full amount of the Foreign
                      Exchange Reserve against the Revolving Commitment; or

                             (ii) if there is insufficient availability under
                      the Revolving Commitment, as to settlements within any two
                      (2) business day period, provided that Bank, in its sole
                      discretion, may: (A) verify good funds overseas prior to
                      crediting Borrower's deposit account with Bank (in the
                      case of Borrower's sale of foreign currency); or (B) debit
                      Borrower's deposit account with Bank prior to delivering
                      foreign currency overseas (in the case of Borrower's
                      purchase of foreign currency).

                      (f) Section 2.1.5 (c) is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety to read as follows:

                      2.1.5. (c) Any June 1999 Equipment Loans that are
                      outstanding on the June 1999 Equipment Availability Date
                      will be payable in 36 equal monthly installments of
                      principal, on each Payment Date, beginning on the Payment
                      Date following the June 1999 Equipment Availability Date
                      and continuing until June 30, 2003, when all June 1999
                      Equipment Loans shall be immediately due and payable. June
                      1999 Equipment Loans, once repaid, may not be reborrowed.

               (g)    Section 2.1.6  is hereby added to the Loan Agreement:

                      2.1.6. March 2000 Equipment Loans.

                      (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
                      Agreement, at any time from the date hereof through the
                      date which is twelve months from the date of that certain
                      March 2000 Loan Modification Agreement, between Bank and
                      Borrower (the "March 2000 Equipment Availability End
                      Date"), but no more frequently than once during each
                      calendar month, Bank agrees to make advances (each, a
                      "March 2000 Equipment Loan") to Borrower in an aggregate
                      amount not to exceed the March 2000 Equipment Commitment.
                      Borrower shall deliver to Bank, at the time of each March
                      2000 Equipment Loan request, an invoice for the equipment
                      to be financed by such March 2000 Equipment Loan. Each

                      the invoice amount of such equipment approved from time to
                      time by Bank, including sales taxes, freight, and
                      installation expenses.

                      (b) Interest Rate. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(a),
                      the outstanding principal amount of the March 2000
                      Equipment Loans shall bear interest, on the average daily
                      balance thereof, at a per annum rate equal to 0.50
                      percentage points above the Prime Rate. Accrued interest

                      on each Payment Date and on the date the final installment
                      of principal on the March 2000 Equipment Loans is due.

                      (c) Any March 2000 Equipment Loans that are outstanding on

                      reborrowed.

                      (d) When Borrower desires to obtain a March 2000 Equipment
                      Loan, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be
                      irrevocable) by facsimile transmission to be received no
                      later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time one Business Day before
                      the day on which the March 2000 Equipment Loan is to be

                      Exhibit B. The notice shall be signed by a Responsible
                      Officer or its designee and include a copy of the invoice
                      for the Equipment to be financed.

               (g)    Section 6.10 of the Loan Agreement is amended and restated
in its entirety to read as follows:

                      6.10 Cash Losses. Borrower shall not have an Adjusted Net
                      Loss (as hereafter defined) of greater than $1,000,000 in
                      any fiscal quarter. As used herein, Adjusted Net Loss
                      means for any period, the Borrower's consolidated net loss
                      (determined in accordance with GAAP) excluding all
                      non-cash items, including the amortization of goodwill,
                      depreciation, and the amortization of stock-based
                      compensation, to the extent such items were deducted in
                      calculating such net loss.

        2.     Corresponding Amendments. The Existing Loan Documents are hereby
amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

        3.     No Defenses. Borrower agrees that it has no defenses against the
obligations to pay any amounts under the Obligations.

        4.     Continuing Validity. Borrower understands and agrees that in
modifying the existing Obligations, Bank is relying upon Borrower's
representations, warranties, and


                                      -4-

agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly
modified pursuant to this Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents
remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank's agreement to modifications
to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Agreement in no way shall obligate
Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this
Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations. It is the
intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and
endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by
Bank in writing. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Agreement,
but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

        5.     Condition. The effectiveness of this Agreement is conditioned
upon (a) the execution and delivery hereof by both Bank and Borrower; and (b)
receipt by Bank from Borrower of a Facility Fee in the amount of $30,000 on
account of the March 2000 Equipment Commitment and the renewal of the Revolving
Commitment.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed as of the date first above written.
