SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") previously filed as Exhibit 2 to the Statement, dated as of September 23, 2001, by and between the Company, Sierra Ventures VII, SV Associates VII and certain other investors named in the Schedule of Purchasers to the Purchase Agreement, (1) Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII purchased 90,933 and 9,067 shares, respectively, of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") at a price of $10 per share, with the purchase price having been paid in cash at the closing of the sale of such shares on October 9, 2001 (the "Closing"); (2) upon the Closing, the Company issued to Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 90,933 and 9,067 additional shares, respectively, of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10 per share in cash, which warrants are exercisable for up to one year after the Closing under certain circumstances, in the forms previously filed as Exhibit 3 to the Statement ("Preferred Stock Warrants"); (3) upon the Closing, the Company issued to Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII warrants to purchase up to 454,665 and 45,335 shares, respectively, of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share in the form previously filed as Exhibit 4 to the Statement ("Common Stock Warrants") and (4) the Company agreed to grant to Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII additional Common Stock Warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Preferred Stock Warrants are convertible at the time such Preferred Stock Warrants are exercised. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.50, or at an initial conversion rate of 20 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company previously filed as Exhibit 5 to the Statement (the "Certificate of Designation"). On March 29, 2002, Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII exercised warrants to purchase up to 45,467 and 4,533 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively. Upon exercise of such warrants, the Company issued to Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII, warrants to purchase up to 227,335 and 22,665 shares of Common Stock, respectively. The total funds used to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock at the Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement were $909,330 in the case of Sierra Ventures VII and $90,670 in the case of SV Associates VII and pursuant to the exercise of warrants to Purchase Series A Preferred Stock on March Schedule 13D Page 9 of 16 29, 2002 were 454,670 in the case of Sierra Ventures VII and $45,330 in the case of SV Associates VII, and were furnished from the working capital of Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII, respectively. If Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII elect to exercise the Remaining Series A Warrants in full, the total amount of funds that will be required to purchase the additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon such exercise will be $454,670 in the case of Sierra Ventures VII and $45,330 in the case of SV Associates VII, and will be furnished from the working capital of Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII, respectively. If Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII elect to exercise the Common Stock Warrants in full for cash, the total amount of funds that will be required to purchase the Common Stock pursuant to such warrants will be $682,000 in the case of Sierra Ventures VII and $68,000 in the case of Sierra Associates VII (or $909,335 and $90,665, respectively, if the Remaining Series A Warrants are exercised in full), which will be provided from the working capital of Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII, respectively. However, the Common Stock Warrants provide Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII the option to convert such warrants on a cashless basis by electing to have the Company withhold a number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Warrants that is equal in value at the time of conversion to the aggregate exercise price of the shares actually issued upon such conversion. Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII have not made any determination as to whether they will exercise the Common Stock Warrants, if at all, either for cash or on a cashless basis. Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Series B Purchase Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit 9, dated as of August 20, 2002, by and among the Company, Sierra Ventures VII, SV Associates VII and certain other investors listed on the signature pages thereto, Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII purchased 181,866 and 18,134 shares, respectively, of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $10 per share, with the purchase price having been paid in cash at the closing of the sale of such shares (the "Series B Closing"). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.19, or at an initial conversion rate of approximately 53 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company and the amendments thereto attached hereto as Exhibits 10, 11 and 12, respectively (the "Series B Certificate of Designation"). The total funds used to purchase the Series B Preferred Stock at the Series B Closing pursuant to the Series B Purchase Agreement were $1,818,660 in the case of Sierra Ventures VII and $181,340 in the case of SV Associates VII, and were furnished from the working capital of Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII, respectively. Except as otherwise expressly stated, all shares are reported on a common stock equivalent basis, assuming that all warrants issued or issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are exercised in full for cash. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The Reporting Persons purchased the shares of Common Stock currently held by them, and Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII purchased the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock held by them and may purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock upon exercise of the Remaining Series A Warrants and Common Stock Warrants, in order to obtain an equity position in the Company for investment purposes. Jeffrey M. Drazan, a general partner of SV Associates VI (the general partner of Sierra Ventures VI) and a managing member of SV Associates VII (the general partner of Sierra Ventures VII), currently Schedule 13D Page 10 of 16 serves as a director of the Company. As a result, Mr. Drazan may be deemed to be a "control" person of the Company. The Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of shares of Common Stock through open market or privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, depending on existing market conditions and other considerations discussed below. Each of the Reporting Persons intends to review its investment in the Company on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price and availability of shares of the Company's Common Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Company, the Company's business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Person, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time to increase, or to decrease, the size of its investment in the Company. SERIES A PURCHASE AGREEMENT. On September 23, 2001, Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII entered into the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII agreed to purchase, shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the Closing and the Company agreed to issue to Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII the Preferred Stock Warrants and Common Stock Warrants, all as set forth in Item 3 above. The Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrants contain adjustment provisions pursuant to which, in certain circumstances, Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII may be entitled to acquire additional shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the liquidation preference applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock increases at the rate of 8.00% per year, compounded quarterly, from the date of issue, and as the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is tied to the liquidation preference, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will also increase at a minimum of 8.00% per year, compounded quarterly. Descriptions of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of Certificate of Designation previously filed as Exhibit 5 to the Statement. CONVERSION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Company may cause all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into Common Stock at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of initial issuance of such shares, provided that the Company may only cause such automatic conversion if the closing price per share of Common Stock for thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending within ten (10) days of the date on which notice of such automatic conversion is given to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been at least $5.00, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock will also automatically convert into Common Stock at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock may also be converted at any time at the election of each holder. VOTING. As set forth in the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote such stock on an as converted basis (without giving effect to certain adjustments in the conversion price or the liquidation preference subsequent to the Closing), together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class with respect to all matters, except under specified circumstances described below under "Board Representation" with respect to the election of directors and under "Change of Control" with respect to certain Change of Control Transactions (as defined in the Certificate of Designation). In addition, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (i) amend or repeal the provisions of the Certificate of Designation; (ii) authorize or issue any shares of a class or series senior to the Series A Preferred Stock Schedule 13D Page 11 of 16 or any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or having option rights to purchase, any shares of stock senior to the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) issue any bonds, debentures or notes or incur similar debt obligations, other than trade debt in the ordinary course of business; (iv) pay any dividend on any shares of stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock or repurchase or redeem any such shares of stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, except for repurchases of unvested shares of stock at cost from employees, directors, consultants and other service providers; (v) repurchase any outstanding shares of stock, except for repurchase of shares held by employees pursuant to repurchase agreements approved by the board of directors and redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (vi) amend the bylaws to increase the authorized number of directors of the Company to more than eight; or (vii) authorize or issue any shares of any class or series of stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock or any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or having option rights to purchase, any shares of stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock provided that such restriction shall no longer be applicable if Preferred Stock Warrants are not exercised to purchase 500,000 or more shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to the six-month anniversary of the date of first issuance of Series A Preferred Stock. BOARD REPRESENTATION. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, provide for holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to elect three members to the Board, voting separately as a class. Except as described in the next sentence, this provision remains in effect for so long as at least 75% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding. If less than 75% but at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding, or if Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P. ("Warburg") does not exercise Preferred Stock Warrants to purchase at least 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to expiration of such warrants, the number of directors to be elected by holders of Series A Preferred Stock voting separately shall be reduced to two. If less than 50% but at least 25% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding, the number of directors to be elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock voting separately shall be reduced to one. If less than 25% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will no longer have the right to elect any members of the board of directors voting separately. All other directors will be elected by the holders of the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock voting as a single class. The initial designees of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Gayle Crowell, Cary Davis and Nancy Martin, were appointed to the Board effective as of the Closing. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, Mr. Davis and Ms. Martin are Members and Managing Directors of Warburg, Pincus LLC and are Partners of Warburg, Pincus & Co., and Ms. Crowell is a full-time adviser of Warburg, Pincus LLC. CHANGE OF CONTROL. Under the Certificate of Designation, the Company may not consummate any Change of Control Transaction, as defined the Certificate of Designation, without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless such transaction would result in aggregate consideration paid in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock equal to the original purchase price thereof, plus an internal rate of return equal to at least 50%. In addition, in the event of any Change of Control Transaction, holders of Common Stock Warrants will have the right to deliver such warrants to the Company in exchange for payments equal to the Black-Scholes value of such warrants at the time of such transaction, payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, Common Stock of the Company. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company will grant to the purchasers of Series A Preferred Stock rights to maintain their percentage ownership in the Company in the event of Schedule 13D Page 12 of 16 future equity issuances by the Company. A copy of the Preemptive Rights Agreement providing for such rights was previously filed as Exhibit 6 to the Statement. REGISTRATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FOR RESALE. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the agreements related thereto, subject to certain conditions the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the SEC, upon request of holders of Series A Preferred Stock after June 1, 2002, registration statements to enable the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (including Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Stock Warrants) and upon exercise or conversion of the Common Stock Warrants. The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement and the agreements and transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Stock Warrants, the Common Stock Warrants, the Certificate of Designation and the Preemptive Rights Agreement, copies of which were filed as Exhibits 2-6 and are incorporated herein by reference. SERIES B PURCHASE AGREEMENT. On August 20, 2002, Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII entered into the Series B Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and Sierra Ventures VII and SV Associates VII agreed to purchase, shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the Series B Closing, as set forth in Item 3 above. In addition, the liquidation preference applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock increases at the rate of 8.00% per year, compounded quarterly, from the date of issue, and as the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is tied to the liquidation preference, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock will also increase at a minimum of 8.00% per year, compounded quarterly. Descriptions of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Series B Certificate of Designation, including the amendments thereto, attached as Exhibits 10, 11, and 12 hereto. CONVERSION OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.
