IN HIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
- ---------------------------

        A. A 150,000 SHARE STOCK OPTION ISSUED TO BRUCE BAUER IN 1995 AT
           $.09/SHARE (WHICH THEN WAS AT LEAST THE FAIR MARKET VALUE PER SHARE).

        B. A 150,000 SHARE STOCK OPTION ISSUED TO DONALD GRAHAM IN 1995 AT
           $.09/SHARE (WHICH THEN WAS AT LEAST THE FAIR MARKET VALUE PER SHARE).

           (II) 125,520 SHARES, EXPIRING 3/30/2000, AT EXERCISE PRICE OF $4.589

     The first of these amendments is not a change in the Plan, but -- as
indicated at the hearing on February 11, 1999 -- clarificatory of its intent in
the Plan as originally written.  The Debtor believes that the amendment to
Article V.A.1 of the Plan is not material.  There are no defaults of which the
Debtor is aware in any of the agreements listed; hence, there will be no cure
costs.  By contrast,

                 AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
                                       OF
                           INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC.


          The undersigned, David B. Lockton and Thomas T.M. Donaher, hereby
certify that:

          A. They are the duly elected and acting President and Secretary,
respectively, of Interactive Network, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Corporation").

          B. Article THREE of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
of the Corporation is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

          "THREE: This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares
          to be designated, respectively, Preferred Stock ("Preferred") and
          Common Stock ("Common"). The total number of shares of Preferred this
          corporation shall have authority to issue is 10,000,000, without par
          value, and the total number of shares of Common this corporation shall
          have authority to issue is 150,000,000, without par value. The
          Preferred may be divided into such number of series as the board of
          directors may determine. The board of directors is authorized to
          determine and alter the rights, preferences, privileges and
          restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series,
          and to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred and the
          designation of any such series of Preferred. The board of directors
          may also, within the limits and restrictions stated herein or in any
          resolution or resolutions originally fixing the number of shares
          constituting any such series, increase or decrease (but not below the
          number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares
          of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

          One million (1,000,000) shares of the authorized shares of Preferred
          are designated and known as Series F Preferred Convertible Stock
          ("Series F Preferred") and one million shares of the authorized shares
          of Preferred are designated and known as Series G Convertible
          Redeemable Stock ("Series G Preferred"). The rights, preferences,
<PAGE>
 
          privileges and restrictions of the Series F Preferred and Series G
          Preferred are set forth in the Certificate of Determination of the
          Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series F
          Convertible Preferred Stock and Series G Convertible Redeemable
          Preferred Stock of Interactive Network, Inc. filed with the California
          Secretary of State on September 20, 1994."

          C. The foregoing amendment of the Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation has been duly approved by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.

          D. The foregoing amendment of the Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation has been duly approved by the required vote of shareholders in
accordance with Section 902 of the Corporations code. The total number of
outstanding shares of the Corporation is 27,348,377 shares of Common Stock. The
number of shares voting in favor of the amendment equaled or exceeded the vote
required. The percentage vote required was more than fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. There are no shares of Series F Preferred
Stock or Series G Preferred Stock outstanding.

          We further declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the
State of California that we have read the foregoing certificate and know the
contents thereof and that the same is true and correct of our own knowledge.

                             AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS

     Subject to approval by the shareholders of the Corporation at the Special
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 31, 1999, Section 3.2 of the By-Laws
of this Corporation is amended to read as follows:

          3.2  NUMBER OF DIRECTORS.
               ------------------- 

          The number of directors of this corporation shall be not less than
     five (5) nor more than nine (9).  The exact number of directors shall be
     five (5) until changed, within the limits specified above, by a By-Law
     amending this Section 3.2, duly adopted by the Board of Directors or by the
     shareholders.  The indefinite number of directors may be changed, or a
     definite number fixed without provision for an indefinite number, by a duly
     adopted amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or by an amendment to
     this By-Law adopted by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority
     of the outstanding shares entitled to vote; provided, however, that an
     amendment reducing the number of directors to a number less than five (5)
     cannot be adopted if the votes cast against its adoption at a meeting, or
     the shares not consenting in the case of action by written consent, are
     equal to more than sixteen and two-thirds percent (16-2/3%) of the
     outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.

                                    -------------------------------

THE GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THE OPTION SHALL
VEST, IF AT ALL, ONLY DURING THE PERIOD OF GRANTEE'S CONTINUOUS SERVICE (NOT
THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THE OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES

     The Grantee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Option
Agreement, and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and
provisions thereof, and hereby accepts the Option subject to all of the terms
and provisions hereof and thereof.  The Grantee has reviewed this Notice, the

understands all provisions of this Notice, the Plan and the Option Agreement.
The Grantee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all
decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising
under this Notice, the Plan or the Option Agreement.  The Grantee further agrees
to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated in this
Notice.

                                                      Award Number:  ___________

                INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC. 1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN

                          STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
                          ----------------------------

     1.  Grant of Option. Interactive Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
         --------------- 
"Company"), hereby grants to the Grantee (the "Grantee") named in the Notice of
Stock Option Award (the "Notice"), an option (the "Option") to purchase the
Total Number of Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option (the "Shares") set
forth in the Notice, at the Exercise Price per Share set forth in the Notice
(the "Exercise Price") subject to the terms and provisions of the Notice, this
Stock Option Award Agreement (the "Option Agreement") and the Company's 1999
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Company, which are incorporated
herein by reference. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the
Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Option Agreement.

     If designated in the Notice as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option is
intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of
the Code.  However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options designated as Incentive
Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time by the Grantee during
any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary)
exceeds $100,000, such excess Options, to the extent of the Shares covered
thereby in excess of the foregoing limitation, shall be treated as Non-Qualified
Stock Options.  For this purpose, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of
the Shares shall be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such
Shares is awarded.

     2.  Exercise of Option.
         ------------------
  
         (a)  Right to Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable during its term
              -----------------   
in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice and with the
applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Option shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan relating to the
exercisability or termination of the Option in the event of a Corporate
Transaction or Related Entity Disposition. No partial exercise of the Option may
be for less than the lesser of five percent (5%) of the total number of Shares
subject to the Option or the remaining number of Shares subject to the Option.
In no event shall the Company issue fractional Shares.

         (b)  Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable only by
              ------------------
delivery of an Exercise Notice (attached as Exhibit A) which shall state the
election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect of which
the Option is being exercised, such other representations and agreements as to
the holder's investment intent with respect to such Shares and such other
provisions as may be required by the Administrator. The Exercise Notice shall be
signed by the Grantee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to
the Secretary of the Company accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The
Option shall be deemed to be 


                                       1
<PAGE>
 
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the
Exercise Price, which, to the extent selected, shall be deemed to be satisfied
by use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the Exercise
Price provided in Section 4(d), below.

     No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless
such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all Applicable Laws.  Assuming
such compliance, for income tax purposes, the Shares shall be considered
transferred to the Grantee on the date on which the Option is exercised with
respect to such Shares.

         (c)  Taxes.  No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee or other person
               -----
pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person has
made arrangements acceptable to the Administrator for the satisfaction of
foreign, federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding
obligations.

     3.  Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the
         -----------------
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee; provided,
however, that such exercise method does not then violate any Applicable Law and,
provided further, that the portion of the Exercise Price equal to the par value
of the Shares must be paid in cash or other legal consideration permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law:

         (a)  cash;

         (b)  check;

         (c)  surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of
attestation of ownership of Shares as the Administrator may require (including
withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option) which
have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised
(but only to the extent that such exercise of the Option would not result in an
accounting compensation charge with respect to the Shares used to pay the
exercise price); or

         (d)  through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to
which the Grantee (A) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated
brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased
Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the
settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable
for the purchased Shares and (B) shall provide written directives to the Company
to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such brokerage
firm in order to complete the sale transaction.

     4.  Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised if the
         ------------------------
issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute
a violation of any Applicable Laws. In addition, the Option, if an Incentive
Stock Option, may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved
by the stockholders of the Company.

     5.  Termination or Change of Continuous Service. In the event the Grantee's
         -------------------------------------------
Continuous Service terminates, the Grantee may, to the extent otherwise so
entitled at the date of


                                       2
<PAGE>
 
such termination (the "Termination Date"), exercise the Option during the Post-
Termination Exercise Period. In no event shall the Option be exercised later
than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice. In the event of the Grantee's
change in status from Employee, Director or Consultant to any other status of
Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option shall remain in effect and, except
to the extent otherwise determined by the Administrator, continue to vest;
provided, however, with respect to any Incentive Stock Option that shall remain
in effect after a change in status from Employee to Director or Consultant, such
Incentive Stock Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option
and shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months
and one (1) day following such change in status. Except as provided in Sections
6 and 7 below, to the extent that the Grantee is not entitled to exercise the
Option on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the Option
within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the Option shall terminate.

     6.  Disability of Grantee.  In the event the Grantee's Continuous Service
         ---------------------                                                
terminates as a result of his or her Disability, the Grantee may, but only
within twelve (12) months from the Termination Date (and in no event later than
the Expiration Date), exercise the Option to the extent he or she was otherwise
entitled to exercise it on the Termination Date; provided, however, that if such
Disability is not a "disability" as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code and the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Incentive Stock
Option shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be
treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option on the day three (3) months and one (1)
day following the Termination Date.  To the extent that the Grantee is not
entitled to exercise the Option on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does
not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.

     7.  Death of Grantee.  In the event of the termination of the Grantee's
         ----------------                                                   
Continuous Service as a result of his or her death, or in the event of the
Grantee's death during the Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the twelve
(12) month period following the Grantee's Termination of Continuous Service as a
result of his or her Disability, the Grantee's estate, or a person who acquired
the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, may exercise the
Option, but only to the extent the Grantee could exercise the Option at the date
of termination, within twelve (12) months from the date of death (but in no
event later than the Expiration Date).  To the extent that the Grantee is not
entitled to exercise the Option on the date of death, or if the Option is not
exercised to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option
shall terminate.

     8.  Transferability of Option. The Option, if an Incentive Stock Option,
         -------------------------
may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee
only by the Grantee. The Option, if a Non-Qualified Stock Option, may be
transferred by the Grantee in a manner and to the extent acceptable to the
Administrator as evidenced by a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
The terms of the Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators,
heirs and successors of the Grantee.

     9.  Term of Option. The Option may be exercised no later than the
         --------------
Expiration Date set forth in the Notice or such earlier date as otherwise
provided herein.

     10. Tax Consequences.  Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date of
         ----------------                                                       
this Option Agreement of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of the
Option and disposition of the Shares.  THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE,
AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  THE GRANTEE SHOULD
CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

         (a)  Exercise of Incentive Stock Option.  If the Option qualifies as an
              ----------------------------------                                
Incentive Stock Option, there will be no regular federal income tax liability
upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be
treated as income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax for federal tax
purposes and may subject the Grantee to the alternative minimum tax in the year
of exercise.

         (b)  Exercise of Incentive Stock Option Following Disability.  If the 
              -------------------------------------------------------          
Grantee's Continuous Service terminates as a result of Disability that is not
total and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, to
the extent permitted on the date of termination, the Grantee must exercise an
Incentive Stock Option within three (3) months of such termination for the
Incentive Stock Option to be qualified as an Incentive Stock Option.

         (c)  Exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Option.  On exercise of a Non-
              --------------------------------------    
Qualified Stock Option, the Grantee will be treated as having received
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess,
if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the
Exercise Price. If the Grantee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company
will be required to withhold from the Grantee's compensation or collect from the
Grantee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to
a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse
to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts
are not delivered at the time of exercise.

         (d)  Disposition of Shares. In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock
              ---------------------
Option, if Shares are held for more than one year, any gain realized on
disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal
income tax purposes and subject to tax at a maximum rate of 20%. In the case of
an Incentive Stock Option, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held
for more than one year after receipt of the Shares and are disposed more than
two years after the Date of Award, any gain realized on disposition of the
Shares also will be treated as capital gain for federal income tax purposes and
subject to the same tax rates and holding periods that apply to Shares acquired
upon exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option. If Shares purchased under an
Incentive Stock Option are disposed of prior to the expiration of such one-year
or two-year periods, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the
difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (i) the Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the
Shares.

     11. Entire Agreement: Governing Law.  The Notice, the Plan and this Option
         -------------------------------                                       
Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof 


                                       4

Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not
be modified adversely to the Grantee's interest except by means of a writing
signed by the Company and the Grantee. These agreements are to be construed in
accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of California
without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application

California to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the
Notice or this Option Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or
unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and
shall remain enforceable.

Company forthwith to the Administrator, which shall review such dispute at its

          WHEREAS, the undersigned entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated
December 2, 1992 (the "Agreement") with Interactive Network, Inc. (the
"Company") and David B. Lockton, under which the undersigned was granted a right
of first refusal to purchase certain securities proposed to be issued by the
Company.

          WHEREAS, the Company proposes to raise $50,000,000 through the sale
and issuance of convertible secured promissory notes (the "Notes") and other
securities of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in a Summary of Terms attached hereto as Appendix I. The Notes are convertible
into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Conversion Shares"). The Notes,
Conversion Shares and other securities of the Company issued or to be issued
pursuant to the Summary of Terms are referred to collectively herein as the
"Securities".

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant registration rights to the
holders of the Notes with respect to the Conversion Shares and other shares of
Common Stock of the Company that may be issued upon conversion or exercise of
other Securities contemplated by the Summary of Terms or pursuant to anti-
dilution rights referred to in the Summary of Terms (collectively, the
"Shares").

          IN CONSIDERATION OF, and as an inducement to, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Summary of Terms, the undersigned agrees as
follows:

          1.   Waiver and Termination of Right of First Refusal. The undersigned
               -------------------------------------------------                
hereby waives the provisions of Section 9.1 of the Agreement with respect to the
sale and issuance of the Securities in the transactions contemplated by the
Summary of Terms. The undersigned further agrees that the provisions of Section
9.1 of the Agreement are hereby terminated and shall be of no further force and
effect after the date hereof.

          2.   Board of Directors. The provisions of Section 7.5 of the

               -------------------

          the Company's Board of Directors or management to shareholders for
          election as directors at
<PAGE>
 
          each annual meeting of shareholders of the Company one (1) person
          designated by the Purchaser. The nominee may be employed by Purchaser.
          The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Common Stock for
          which the Company's management or directors hold proxies or are
          otherwise entitled to vote to be voted in favor of the election of
          such designee and Lockton agrees to vote or cause all shares of Common
          Stock of the Company owned of record or beneficially by him to be
          voted in favor of such designee. In the event that such designee shall
          cease to serve as a director for any reason (including removal for
          cause), the Company shall use its best efforts to fill such vacancy
          with another like designee.

          (b) The designee of Purchaser shall be entitled to excuse himself from
          all deliberations of the Board of Directors of the Company, or
          discussions of such Board concerning business relationships between
          the Company and Purchaser."

          3. Registration Rights. The undersigned hereby consents pursuant to
             --------------------

         with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of any of the
         foregoing; excluding in all cases, however, any Strategic Lender
         Registrable Stock sold by a person in a transaction in which its

                   -----------------------------------                         
          provision set forth in this Section 8:

                    (a)  If the underwriter in any registration for an
          underwritten offering of Common Stock of the Company determines that
          (i) marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to
          be underwritten,

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
          (ii) the offering price per share would be reduced by the inclusion of
          any shares other than the Strategic Lender Registrable Stock, or (iii)
          some other limitation is advisable, then the number of shares of
          Common Stock of the Company to be included in the registration and
          underwriting shall first be allocated among all Strategic Lenders who
          indicated to the Company their decision to distribute any of their
          Strategic Lender Registrable Stock through such underwriting, and then
          pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.

                    (b) Holders are not permitted to include any Registrable
          Stock, or any other securities of the Company, in any registration
          initiated by the Strategic Lenders in which any Strategic Lender
          Registrable Stock is included in such registration."

          4.  Remainder of Agreement.  Except as specifically provided herein,
              -----------------------                                         
the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

                           INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC.
                         COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
                  To Purchase Fifteen Thousand (15,000) Shares
                               Warrant No. 1995-1


          FOR CONSIDERATION, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged by INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC., a California corporation (the
"Company"), GEORGE RANEY (the "Holder"), is hereby granted a warrant (the
"Warrant") to purchase, at any time from the date hereof until 5:00 p.m., San
Francisco time, on March 30, 2000 (the "Expiration Date"), the number of shares
of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock of the
Company set forth above.

          The Shares shall be available for purchase at a price per Share of
$2.858 (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment as provided for herein. The
Purchase Price shall be payable in cash, by certified or official bank check or
postal or express money order, in U.S. Dollars. Upon surrender of this Warrant
with the Subscription Form attached to this Warrant duly executed, together with
payment of the Purchase Price times the number of Shares purchased, to the
Company at its address set forth below, the Holder shall be entitled to receive
certificates for the number of the Shares purchased.

          The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the
option of the Holder, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time (but
not as to a fractional Share), from the date hereof but not later than 5:00
p.m., San Francisco time on the Expiration Date. This Warrant shall
automatically terminate, without any further action by the Company, after such
time on the Expiration Date. In the case of the purchase of less than all of the
Shares purchasable hereunder, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation,
together with the duly executed subscription form and funds sufficient to pay
any transfer tax, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder without
charge a new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant evidencing the right of the
Holder to purchase the number of Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this
Warrant has not been exercised. The issuance of certificates for the Shares upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for such
certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates, and
such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph of
this Warrant) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by,
the Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of
any such certificate in a name other than that of the registered Holder, and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or
until
<PAGE>
 
the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of
the Company that such tax has been paid.

          The Holder, by acceptance hereof, represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that: (i) the Holder has knowledge of the business and affairs of the
Company; (ii) the Holder has received information regarding the Company that he
or she considers necessary or appropriate for his or her investment decision;
and (iii) this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
are being acquired pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. THIS WARRANT AND THE
SHARES RECEIVABLE UPON EXERCISE THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED ("ACT"), AND THIS WARRANT CANNOT BE EXERCISED
BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY U.S. PERSON UNLESS THE SHARES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. ANY PERSON
EXERCISING THIS WARRANT IS REQUIRED TO GIVE A WRITTEN CERTIFICATION, AS SET
FORTH ON THE SUBSCRIPTION FORM, THAT HE OR SHE IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND THAT THE
WARRANT IS NOT BEING EXERCISED ON BEHALF OF A U.S. PERSON. Subject to the terms
hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in
part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at its principal
office referred to below by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any
necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.
Upon any partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to the Holder a
new warrant or warrants of like tenor with respect to the Shares not so
transferred. Each Holder, by taking or holding this Warrant, consents and agrees
that the Holder may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with
this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person
entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, or to the transfer hereof on
the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until
such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the Holder as the owner for
all purposes.

          In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price shall forthwith be
proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of
combination. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph, the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of
each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full Share by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Purchase Price.
In case of any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a change in par

                                       2.
<PAGE>
 
value or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of any
consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination or such shares or a change in par value, as
aforesaid), or in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety, the Holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter have the right to purchase the kind and number of Shares and other
securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a Holder of the number of Shares
which the Holder of such Warrant would have had the right to purchase
immediately prior to the record date for such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, at a price equal to the product of
(Y) the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and (Z) the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. No
adjustment of the Purchase Price or number of Shares shall be made upon the
issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, options, rights or warrants,
conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities or the
occurrence of any event other than as set forth in this paragraph.

          Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of
such loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new warrant of like tenor, in
lieu of this Warrant. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates
representing fractions of Shares, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay
cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that
all fractional interests shall be eliminated. The Company shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrant, such number of shares of
Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the exercise hereof. The Company
covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Warrant and payment of the
Purchase Price therefor, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise
shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

          Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring
upon the Holder the right to vote or consent to or receive notice as a
shareholder in respect of any meetings of shareholders for the election of
directors or any other matter, or as having any rights whatsoever as a
shareholder of the

                                       3.

Company. If, however, at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant or its
exercise, any of the following events shall occur: (a) the Company shall take a
record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling the
Holders to receive a dividend or distribution payable otherwise than in cash, or
a cash dividend or distribution payable otherwise than out of current or
retained earnings, as indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or
distribution on the books of the Company; or (b) the Company shall offer to all
the holders of its common stock any additional shares of stock of the Company or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock of the
Company, or any option, right or warrant to subscribe therefore; or (c) a
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company (other than in connection
with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially all of its
property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; then, in any one
or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice of such events at
least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of
closing the transfer books for the determination of the shareholders entitled to
such dividend, distribution, convertible or exchangeable securities or
subscription rights, or entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution,
liquidation, winding-up or sale. Such notice shall specify such record date or
the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to give such
notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any action taken
in connection with the declaration of payment of any such dividend, or the
issuance of any convertible or exchangeable securities, or subscription rights,
options or warrants, or any proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or
sale.

          All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when delivered,
or three (3) days after posting if mailed by registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested it to the registered Holder, to the address of such
Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or if to the Company, to 2840
Junction Avenue, San Jose, California 95134, or to such other address as may be
specified by the Holder or the Company in accordance with the foregoing
provisions. All the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
contained in this Warrant shall bind the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, distributees, successors and assigns. This
Warrant is delivered in the State of California and shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of
California.
