     ITEM 3.          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
