<PAGE>

          3.1  Repurchase Option.
               -----------------

               (a) In the event of termination of Purchaser's employment
arrangement with the Company (the "Employment Arrangement") for any reason, with
or without cause (whether voluntary or involuntary, including death or
disability) (collectively referred to as the "Termination"), the Company shall
upon the date of such Termination have an irrevocable and exclusive option (the
"Repurchase Option") to repurchase up to the total number of the Shares
specified in Section 3.1(b) at the Original Issuance Price per Share, as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations and the like.

               (b) All of the Shares purchased by Purchaser shall initially be
subject to the Repurchase Option. Thereafter, the Shares initially subject to
the Repurchase Option shall be released from the Repurchase Option,
cumulatively, as to one fourth (1/4) of such shares after twelve (12) months
following such Vesting Commencement Date and as to one forty-eighth (1/48) of
such Shares after each month following such twelve (12) month period during the
Employment Arrangement.

               (c) Within sixty (60) days following Purchaser's Termination, the
Company shall notify Purchaser as to whether it (or its assignee) wishes to
purchase all or a portion of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of the
Repurchase Option. If the Company (or its assignee) elects to purchase such
Shares hereunder, it shall notify Purchaser in writing of its (or its
assignee's) intention to purchase such Shares hereunder at the repurchase price
per share set pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and either (i) set a date and location
for the closing of the transaction not later than thirty (30) days from the date
of such notice at which time the Company (or its assignee) shall tender payment
for the Shares or (ii) close the transaction by mail by including payment for
the Shares with the Company's notice to Purchaser. Payment for the Shares may be
in the form of cash, the Company's check or cancellation of all or a portion of
Purchaser's indebtedness to the Company or any combination thereof. At such
closing, the certificate(s) representing the Shares so purchased shall be
delivered to the Company and cancelled (or the Shares transferred to the
Company's assignee, if applicable) or, in the case of payment by the Company (or
its assignee) by mail, such certificate(s) shall be deemed cancelled (or the
Shares transferred to the Company's assignee, if applicable) as of the date of
the mailing of the Company's notice and, thereafter, shall be promptly returned
by Purchaser to the Company by certified or registered mail. Shares subject to
the Repurchase Option as to which the Company (or its assignee) has not
exercised its Repurchase Option within ninety (90) days following Purchaser's
Termination shall be released from the Repurchase Option.

          3.2  Right of First Refusal.
               ----------------------

               (a) In the event Purchaser or his transferee desires (or is
required) to sell or transfer in any manner any of the Shares that are not
subject to the Repurchase option, Purchaser shall first offer such Shares for
sale to the Company upon the terms and conditions specified herein ("Right of
First Refusal") by delivering a notice (the "Notice") to the Company stating (1)
his bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares, (2) the
number of such Shares to be sold or otherwise transferred, (3) the price for
which Purchaser proposes to sell such Shares, (4) the name of the proposed buyer
or transferee and (5) all additional terms and conditions, if any, of the
proposed

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

sale or transfer. Purchaser shall attach to the Notice a copy of the written
offer, if any, reflecting the terms and conditions of the proposed sale or
transfer of the Shares to the third party. In the event of a transfer not
involving a sale of the Shares for a specific sum of money, or if, in the sole
judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, the proposed transfer does not
involve a price for the Shares negotiated by Purchaser and its proposed buyer or
transferee in a bona fide "arm's length transaction," the price of the Shares
shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in the manner specified
in Section 3.4 below.

               (b) Within forty-five (45) days following receipt by the Company
of the Notice ("Acceptance Period"), the Company (or its assignee) may elect to
purchase all or a portion of the Shares to which the Notice refers, at the price
per Share and on the same terms and conditions (or terms and conditions as
reasonably similar as possible) as set forth in the Notice or at the price per
Share determined pursuant to Section 3.4 in the event that the price of the
Shares is to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors under Section 3.2
(a).

               (c) If the Company (or its assignee) elects to purchase such
Shares hereunder, it shall notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to
purchase such Shares hereunder and either (1) set a date for the closing of the
transaction at a place specified by the Company not later than thirty (30) days
from the date of such notice at which time the Company (or its assignee) shall
tender payment for the Shares or (2) include payment for the Shares with the
Company's notice to Purchaser. At such closing, the certificate(s) representing
the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Company and canceled (and the
Shares transferred to the Company's assignee, if applicable) or, in the case of
payment by the Company (or its assignee) by mail, such certificate(s) shall be
deemed canceled (and the Shares transferred to the Company's assignee, if
applicable) as of the date of the mailing of the Company's notice and,
thereafter, shall be promptly returned by Purchaser to the Company by certified
or registered mail.

               (d) If the Company (or its assignee) does not elect to purchase
all of the Shares to which the Notice refers, Purchaser may sell or otherwise
transfer the Shares not purchased to the third party named in the Notice at the
price and on the terms and conditions specified in the Notice or at a higher
price; provided, that such sale or transfer is consummated within sixty (60)
days from the earlier of (1) the lapse of the Acceptance Period or (2) the date
of the Company's notice, whether written or oral, advising Purchaser that the
Company does not intend to purchase the Shares hereunder; provided, further,
that any such sale or transfer is made in accordance with all of the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event the Shares are not disposed
of by Purchaser within such sixty (60) day period, such Shares shall once again
be subject to the Right of First Refusal.

          3.3  Involuntary Transfer.
               --------------------

               (a) In the event of any transfer by operation of law or other
involuntary transfer, of all, or a portion, of the Shares, the Company shall
have an option to purchase all of the Shares transferred (the "Involuntary
Transfer Option") at a price (i) set pursuant to Section 3.4 for those Shares
that are not subject to the Repurchase Option and (ii) equal to the Original
Issuance Price, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations
and the like for those Shares that

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

are subject to the Repurchase Option. Upon such a transfer, the person
acquiring the Shares shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Company of such
transfer.

              (b) The Company (or its assignee) shall notify Purchaser and the
person acquiring the Shares as to whether the Company (or its assignee) wishes
to purchase the Shares pursuant to the Involuntary Transfer Option within
forty-five (45) days following the date on which the Company was notified of the
transfer. If the Company (or its assignee) elects to purchase such Shares
hereunder, it shall set a date for the closing of the transaction at a place
specified by the Company not later than thirty (30) days from the date of the
Company's notice to Purchaser and the person acquiring the Shares. At such
closing, the Company (or its assignee) shall tender payment for the Shares in
the form of a check, cancellation of Purchaser's indebtedness to the Company or
some combination thereof and the certificate(s) representing the Shares so
purchased shall be canceled.

          3.4 Determination of Price by Board. With respect to the Shares to be
              -------------------------------
transferred pursuant to the Right of First Refusal or the Involuntary Transfer
Option where the price per Share is to be determined pursuant to this Section
3.4, the price per Share shall be a price set by the Board of Directors of the
Company that will reflect the then current value of such Shares. The Company
shall notify Purchaser, his representative or the person acquiring the Shares
under Section 3.3 of the price so determined within forty-five (45) days after
receipt by the Company of written notice of the transfer or proposed transfer of
the Shares.

          3.5 Restriction on Alienation. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser will
              -------------------------
not sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of any of the
Shares subject to the Repurchase Option, or any right or interest therein,
whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written
consent of the Company. Any sale, transfer or disposition or purported sale,
transfer or disposition of any of the Shares by Purchaser shall be null and void
unless the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement are strictly
complied with. Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Escrow Agent or the
Transfer Agent of the Company, as applicable, to transfer the Shares as to which
the Repurchase Option, Right of First Refusal or Involuntary Transfer Option has
been exercised from Purchaser to the Company (or its assignee). Purchaser
further authorizes the Company to refuse, or to cause the Escrow Agent or its
Transfer Agent to refuse, to transfer or record any Shares to be transferred in
violation of this Agreement.

          3.6 Assignment By Company. The Company's Repurchase Option, Right of
              ---------------------
First Refusal and Involuntary Transfer Option may be assigned in whole or in
part to any shareholder or shareholders of the Company.

          3.7 Obligations Binding Upon Transferees. All transferees of Shares or
              ------------------------------------
any interest therein will receive and hold such Shares or interests subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, including, insofar as applicable, the
Company's Repurchase Option, Right of First Refusal and Involuntary Transfer
Option under this Section 4. Any sale or transfer of the Shares shall be void
unless the provisions of this Agreement are met.

          3.8 Termination of Rights. The Repurchase Option, Right of First
              ---------------------
Refusal and the Involuntary Transfer Option granted by this Section 3 shall
terminate on the occurrence of the merger or consolidation of the Company into,
or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

assets to, another corporation, except that these restrictions on transfer
shall not terminate if immediately after such merger, consolidation or sale of
assets, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the capital stock of such other
corporation is owned by persons who are holders of shares of capital stock of
the Company immediately before such merger, consolidation or sale. The Right of
First Refusal and Involuntary Transfer Option granted by this Section 3 shall
terminate at such time as a public market exists for the Company's Common Stock
(or any other stock issued to purchasers in exchange for the Shares purchased
under this Agreement). For the purpose of this Agreement, a "public market"
shall be deemed to exist if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities
exchange (as that term is used in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), or the
Common Stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices are published
daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.

          3.9  Replacement Certificate. In the event the restrictions imposed by
               -----------------------

certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall be issued, on request,
without the legend referred to in Section 6.1(b) herein.

          3.10 Excluded Transfers. The restrictions on transfer of this Section
               ------------------
3 shall not apply to an inter-vivos transfer to Purchaser's ancestors or
descendants or spouse or to a Trustee for their benefit, provided that such
transferee shall take such Shares subject to all the terms of this Agreement,
including restrictions on further transfer.

          3.11 Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
               ------------
this Agreement, any payment by the Company for purchase of Shares from Purchaser
may be made by cancellation of any indebtedness to Company from Purchaser.

          3.12 Market Standoff Agreement. Purchaser, if requested by the Company
               -------------------------
and an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, agrees
not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company held by Purchaser during the period not to exceed one
hundred and eighty (180) days as requested by the managing underwriter following
the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act (as hereafter defined), provided that all officers and directors
of the Company are required to enter into similar agreements. Such agreement
shall be in writing in the form satisfactory to the Company and such
underwriter. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to
the shares (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the
end of such period.

     4.   Escrow; Escrow Instructions.
          ---------------------------

Closing Date, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the Company, or such
other person designated by the Company as Escrow Agent in this transaction, the
share certificate(s) representing the Shares, together with a stock assignment
duly endorsed in blank (in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement). The Escrow

          4.3 Additional Share Deposit. Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the
              ------------------------
Company to deposit with Escrow Agent any securities (including additional shares
of the Company's Common Stock) or other property (including cash) which
Purchaser would be entitled to receive on account of any Shares held by Escrow
Agent hereunder. To facilitate the performance of this Agreement, Purchaser
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Escrow Agent as his attorney-in-fact and
agent for the term of the escrow to execute with respect to such Shares all
stock certificates, stock assignments, or other instruments, which shall be
necessary or appropriate to make such securities negotiable and to complete any
transaction contemplated under this Agreement, including but not limited to any
filings to comply with state or federal securities laws.

          4.4 Share Release. Upon written request from the Company and

any other officer of the Company may, from time to time, at the request of the
Company's Board of Directors, discharge any of the duties and perform any of the
acts to be performed by Escrow Agent as Escrow Agent.

     5.   Investment Representations.
          --------------------------

     In connection with the acquisition of the Shares, Purchaser represents to
the Company the following:

          5.1  Investment. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares to be issued to
               ----------
Purchaser for investment for Purchaser's own account and not with the view to,
or for resale in connection with, any distribution, assignment or resale within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or the
California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended ("California Securities
Law") to others and no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial
interest, in whole or in part, in such Shares. Purchaser understands that the
Shares to be issued to Purchaser have not been and will not be registered under
the Securities Act or qualified under the California Securities Law or under the
laws of any other state of the United States in reliance upon specific
exemptions therefrom which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature
of the investment intent as expressed herein and in any other representations,
warranties or information provided by Purchaser to the Company under this
Agreement.

          5.2  Restrictions on Transfer. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares
               ------------------------
to be issued to Purchaser must be held indefinitely unless subsequently
registered and qualified under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from
registration and qualification is otherwise available. Purchaser further
understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the
Shares.

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

          5.3 Rule 144. Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144,
              --------
promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit limited public resale of
"restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer
thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

          5.4 Exemption from Registration. Purchaser further acknowledges that,
              ---------------------------
in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied,
registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some
other registration exemption will be required.

          5.5 Relationship to Company; Experience. Purchaser either has a
              -----------------------------------
preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company or any of its
officers, directors or controlling persons or, by reason of Purchaser's business
or financial experience has the capacity to protect Purchaser's own interests in
connection with Purchaser's acquisition of the Shares to be issued to Purchaser
hereunder. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and
business matters to enable Purchaser to utilize the information made available
to Purchaser in connection with the acquisition of the Shares to evaluate the
merits and risks of the prospective investment and to make an informed
investment decision with respect thereto.

          5.6 Purchaser's Liquidity. In reaching the decision to invest in the
              ---------------------
Shares, Purchaser has carefully evaluated Purchaser's financial resources and
investment position and the risks associated with this investment, and Purchaser
acknowledges that Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of the
investment. Purchaser (i) has adequate means of providing for Purchaser's
current needs and possible personal contingencies, (ii) has no need for
liquidity in Purchaser's investment, (iii) is able to bear the substantial
economic risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period and (iv)
at the present time, can afford a complete loss of such investment. Purchaser's
commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not
disproportionate to Purchaser's net worth and Purchaser's investment in the
Shares will not cause Purchaser's overall commitment to become excessive.

          5.7 Offer and Sale. Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of
              --------------
the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon
exemption therefrom. Purchaser was not offered or sold the Shares, directly or
indirectly, by means of any form of general solicitation or general
advertisement, including the following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice
or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or
broadcast over television or radio; or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose
attendees had been invited by general solicitation or general advertising.

          5.8 Access to Data. Purchaser is aware of the Company's business
              --------------
affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about
the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that during the course of this transaction and
before deciding to acquire the Shares, Purchaser has been provided with
financial and other written information about the Company. Purchaser has been
given the opportunity by the Company to obtain any information and ask questions
concerning the Company, the Shares, and Purchaser's investment that Purchaser
felt necessary; and to the extent Purchaser availed himself of that opportunity,
Purchaser has received satisfactory information and answers.

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

          5.9  Risks. Purchaser acknowledges and understands that (i) an
               -----
investment in the Company constitutes a high risk, (ii) the Shares are highly
