NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the

to be issued upon conversion of the Shares (the "CONVERSION SHARES"). The Shares
and the Conversion Shares shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "RESTATED CERTIFICATE").
1.2 SALE AND PURCHASE. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at

number of Shares to be purchased at the Closing by each Purchaser, against
payment of the purchase price therefor by check or wire transfer of immediately

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
Except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions (the "SCHEDULE OF
EXCEPTIONS") delivered to the Purchasers in connection with the purchase of
Shares hereunder, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser
as follows:
3.1 ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver
this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C and the Shareholders Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D
(collectively, the "RELATED AGREEMENTS"), to issue and sell the Shares and the
Conversion Shares and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the Related
Agreements and the Restated Certificate and to carry on its business as
presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company is
duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in Colorado and all other jurisdictions (including Toronto,
Canada) in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned
and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions
in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company or its business. The Company owns no equity securities of any other
corporation, limited partnership or similar entity. The Company is not a
participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.
3.2 CAPITALIZATION; VOTING RIGHTS. The authorized capital stock of the
Company, immediately prior to the Closing, will consist of (x) 20,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, 2,974,644 shares of which are issued and outstanding and
3,930,000 shares of which have been reserved for issuance to key employees and
consultants pursuant to the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and
the Company's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, of which 497,400 remain available for
issuance under such plans and (y) 11,782,583 shares of Preferred Stock, 337,420
of which are designated Series A Preferred Stock, 189,630 shares of which are
issued and outstanding, 3,132,535 of which are designated Series B Preferred
Stock, 3,118,785 shares of which are issued and outstanding, 2,954,784 of which
are designated Series C Preferred Stock, 2,946,088 shares of which are issued
and outstanding, 2,166,667 of which are designated Series D Preferred Stock,
2,166,667 shares of which are issued and outstanding and 3,191,177 of which are
designated Series E Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding.
All issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock and Preferred
Stock (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued to the persons listed on
Exhibit E hereto, (ii) are fully paid and nonassessable, and (iii) were issued
in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance
of securities. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the
Shares are as stated in the Restated Certificate and are valid, binding and
enforceable in accordance with applicable law. The Conversion Shares have been
duly and validly reserved for issuance. Other than as set forth on Exhibit E,
and except as may be granted pursuant to the Related Agreements, there are no
outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or
2.
<PAGE> 8
preemptive rights and rights of first refusal), proxy or shareholder agreements,
or agreements of any kind for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of
any of its securities. There are no rights of first refusal with respect to the
issuance of the Shares and the subsequent conversion of the Shares into
Conversion Shares that have not been complied with or for which waivers have not
been obtained. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the Restated Certificate, the Shares and the Conversion Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable with no personal liability
attaching to the ownership thereof, and will be free of any liens or
encumbrances; provided, however, that the Shares and the Conversion Shares may
be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities
laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a
transfer is proposed. The Company has no obligation to purchase, acquire or
redeem any of its outstanding securities. After giving effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, all officers, directors and holders of one
percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of the Company are subject to a
market stand-off agreement in substantially the form contained in Section 2.13
of the Investor Rights Agreement.
3.3 RIGHTS AND TERMS OF PREFERRED STOCK. The holders of Series A Stock,
Series B Stock, Series C Stock and Series D Stock do not have any rights or
privileges other than as reflected in the stock purchase agreements relating to
such series of Preferred Stock (the "PRIOR PURCHASE AGREEMENT(S)"), the Restated
Certificate and the Related Agreements, which agreements contain all material
terms relating to the issuances of shares of the Company's preferred stock and
the material relationships among the holders of such shares.
3.4 AUTHORIZATION; BINDING OBLIGATIONS. All corporate action on the
part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, the performance of
all obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder at the Closing and the
authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares pursuant hereto and the
Conversion Shares pursuant to the Restated Certificate have been taken or will
be taken prior to the Closing. The Agreement and the Related Agreements, when
executed and delivered, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights; (ii) general
principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies; and
(iii) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification provisions in
Section 2.9 of the Investor Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable laws.
3.5 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser
(i) its audited balance sheet as at December 31, 1998 and audited statement of
income and cash flows for the twelve months ending December 31, 1998 and (ii)
its unaudited balance sheet as at June 30, 1999 (the "STATEMENT DATE") and
unaudited consolidated statement of income and cash flows for the six month
period ending on the Statement Date (collectively, the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"),
copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Financial Statements,
together with the notes thereto, are complete and correct in all material
respects, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated,
except as disclosed therein, and present fairly the financial condition and
position of the Company as of December 31, 1998 and the Statement Date;
provided, however, that the financial statements as of the Statement Date are
subject to
3.
<PAGE> 9
normal recurring year-end audit adjustments (which are not expected to be
material), and do not contain all footnotes required under generally accepted
accounting principles.
3.6 LIABILITIES. The Company has no material liabilities and, to the
best of its knowledge, knows of no material contingent liabilities not disclosed
in the Financial Statements, except current liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business subsequent to the Statement Date which have not been, either
in any individual case or in the aggregate, materially adverse.
3.7 AGREEMENTS; ACTION.
(a) Except for agreements explicitly contemplated hereby and
agreements between the Company and its employees with respect to the sale of the
Company's Common Stock, there are no agreements, understandings or proposed
transactions between the Company and any of its officers, directors, affiliates
or any affiliate thereof.
(b) There are no agreements, understandings, instruments,
contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which
the Company is a party or by which it is bound which may involve (i) obligations
(contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to, the Company in excess of $50,000,
(ii) the license of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary
right to or from the Company (other than licenses arising from the purchase of
"off the shelf" or other standard products), (iii) provisions restricting or
affecting the development, manufacture or distribution of the Company's products
or services, or (iv) indemnification by the Company with respect to
infringements of proprietary rights (other than indemnification obligations
arising from purchase or sale agreements entered into in the ordinary course of
business).
(c) The Company has not (i) declared or paid any dividends or
authorized or made any distribution upon or with respect to any class or series
of its capital stock, (ii) incurred any indebtedness which is currently
outstanding for money borrowed or any other liabilities (other than with respect
to indebtedness and other obligations incurred in the ordinary course of
business or as disclosed in the Financial Statements) individually in excess of
$50,000 or, in the case of indebtedness and/or liabilities individually less
than $50,000, in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate, (iii) made any loans or
advances to any person, other than ordinary advances for travel expenses, or
(iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights, other
than the sale of its inventory in the ordinary course of business.
(d) For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) above, all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons
or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be
aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of
such subsections.
(e) The Company has performed all material obligations required
to be performed by it as of the date hereof under any material agreement to
which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. There are no agreements
not otherwise disclosed that could reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the Company. No party to any such material contract has
notified the Company with a claim to the effect that the Company has failed
4.
<PAGE> 10
to perform an obligation thereunder. To the knowledge of the Company, there is
no plan, intention or indication of any contracting party to such material
contract to cause the termination, cancellation or modification of such material
contract or to reduce or otherwise change its activity thereunder so as to
materially and adversely effect the benefits derived as expected to be derived
therefrom by the Company.
(f) The Company has not engaged in the past three (3) months in
any discussion (i) with any representative of any corporation or corporations
regarding the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any such
corporation or corporations, (ii) with any corporation, partnership, association
or other business entity or any individual regarding the sale, conveyance or
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a
transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, or (iii) regarding any
other form of acquisition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company.
3.8 OBLIGATIONS TO RELATED PARTIES. There are no obligations of the
Company to officers, directors or employees of the Company other than (a) for
payment of salary for services rendered, (b) reimbursement for reasonable
expenses incurred on behalf of the Company, (c) for other standard employee
benefits made generally available to all employees (including stock option
agreements outstanding under any stock option plan approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company). None of the officers or directors who are employees
of the Company, or any members of their immediate families, are indebted to the
Company or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or
corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a
business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes with the
Company, except that officers, directors and/or stockholders of the Company may
own stock in publicly traded companies which may compete with the Company. No
officer or director who is an employee of the Company, or any member of their
immediate families, is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material
contract with the Company (other than such contracts as relate to any such
person's ownership of capital stock or other securities of the Company). Except
as may be disclosed in the Financial Statements, the Company is not a guarantor
or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation.

Company's knowledge:
(a) Any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or
operations of the Company from that reflected in the Financial Statements, other
than changes in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or
in the aggregate has had or is expected to have a material adverse effect on
such assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company;
(b) Any resignation or termination of any key officers of the
Company; and the Company, to the best of its knowledge, does not know of the
impending resignation or termination of employment of any such officer;

endorsement, indemnity, warranty or
5.
<PAGE> 11
otherwise, and the Company has not incurred indebtedness for borrowed money in
excess of $25,000;

copyrights, trade secrets or other intangible assets;

a party or by which it is bound which materially and adversely affects the

the Company, including compensation agreements with the Company's employees;
(n) Any other event or condition of any character that, either

the actions described in this Section 3.9.
6.
<PAGE> 12
3.10 TITLE TO PROPERTIES AND ASSETS; LIENS, ETC. The Company has good
and marketable title to its properties and assets, including the properties and
assets reflected in the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial
Statements, and good title to its leasehold estates, in each case subject to no
mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien, lease, encumbrance or charge, other
than (i) those resulting from taxes which have not yet become delinquent and
(ii) minor liens and encumbrances which do not materially detract from the value
of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the
Company. All facilities, machinery, equipment, fixtures, vehicles and other
properties owned, leased or used by the Company are in good operating condition
and repair and are reasonably fit and usable for the purposes for which they are
being used.
3.11 PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS. The Company owns or possesses sufficient
legal rights to all patents, and, to the best of its knowledge after reasonable
investigation, all trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade
secrets, information and other proprietary rights and processes necessary for
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, without any known
infringement of the rights of others. Set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions is
a list of the Company's patents, pending patent applications, registered
trademarks and pending trademark applications. There are no outstanding options,
licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company
bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with
respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
trade secrets, licenses, information and other proprietary rights and processes
of any other person or entity other than such licenses or agreements arising
from the purchase of "off the shelf" or standard products. The Company has not
received any communications alleging that the Company has violated or, by
conducting its business as proposed, would violate any of the patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other
proprietary rights of any other person or entity, nor to the Company's
knowledge, is there a basis for any such claim. The manufacture, marketing,
license, sale or intended use of any product currently licensed or sold by the
Company is not in material breach of any material license or agreement between
the Company and any third party and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, has
not infringed any intellectual property right of any other party. There is no
pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge, threatened claim or
litigation contesting the validity, ownership or right to use, sell, license or
dispose of any proprietary assets. The Company is not aware that any of its
employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or
commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with
their duties to the Company or that would conflict with the Company's business
as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this
Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company's business by the employees of the
Company, nor the conduct of the Company's business as proposed, will, to the
Company's knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract,
covenant or instrument under which any employee is now obligated. The Company
does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any inventions, trade
secrets or proprietary information of any of its employees made prior to their
employment by the Company, except for inventions, trade secrets or proprietary
information that have been assigned to the Company.
3.12 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Company is not in violation
or default of any term of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws, or of any
provision of any mortgage,
7.
<PAGE> 13
indenture, agreement, instrument or contract to which it is party or by which it
is bound or of any judgment, decree, order, writ or, to its knowledge, any
statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company which would materially and
adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition,
operations or prospects of the Company. The execution, delivery, and performance
of and compliance with this Agreement and the Related Agreements, and the
issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant hereto and of the Conversion Shares
pursuant to the Restated Articles, will not, with or without the passage of time
or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict
with or constitute a default under any such term, violate (to the Company's best
knowledge) any securities laws applicable to the Company, or result in the
creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the
properties or assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment,
forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit license, authorization or approval
applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or
properties.
3.13 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or to the Company's knowledge currently threatened against the Company
that questions the validity of this Agreement or the Related Agreements or the
right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets,
condition, affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any
change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware
that there is any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without
limitation, actions pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to the
Company) involving the current or prior employment of any of the Company's
employees, their use in connection with the Company's business of any
information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The
Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the
Company currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.
3.14 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. The Company has timely filed all tax
returns (federal, state and local) and reports required to be filed by it and
these returns and reports are true and correct in all material respects. All
taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and,
to the Company's knowledge, all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or
before the Closing have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become
delinquent. The Company has not been advised (i) that any of its returns,
federal, state or other, have been or are being audited as of the date hereof,
or (ii) of any deficiency in assessment or proposed judgment to its federal,
state or other taxes. The Company has no knowledge of any liability of any tax
to be imposed upon its properties or assets as of the date of this Agreement
that is not adequately provided for.
3.15 EMPLOYEES. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements
with any of its employees. There is no labor union organizing activity pending
or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened with respect to the Company. There is
no strike or labor dispute pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened with respect to the Company. No employee has any agreement or
contract, written or verbal, regarding his employment (except with respect to
the sale of the Company's Common Stock or options therefor). The Company is
8.
<PAGE> 14
not a party to or bound by any currently effective employment contract, deferred
compensation arrangement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan,
retirement agreement or other employee compensation plan or agreement (except
with respect to the sale of the Company's Common Stock or options therefor). No
wages are due to employees, except for those incurred during the current pay
period. To the Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any
consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of
any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other
agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to
contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted
by the Company; and, to the Company's knowledge, the continued employment by the
Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts
with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The
Company has not received any notice from any previous, current or prospective
employee, consultant or other individual alleging that any such violation has
occurred. No employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued
employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination
of employment with the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer or key
employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to terminate their
employment with the Company. Employment of each officer and employee of the
Company is terminable at the will of the Company.
3.16 NON-COMPETITION AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS. Each former and
current employee, officer and consultant of the Company has executed an
agreement regarding non-competition and/or non-disclosure of the Company's
confidential information in one of the forms attached as Exhibit G hereto or an
agreement containing substantially the same restrictions as those set forth in

Agreements and any certificate delivered by the Company to the Purchasers or
their attorneys or agents in connection herewith or therewith or with the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby do not contain any untrue statement

<PAGE> 16
similar state laws and regulations. The Company agrees not to repurchase any

otherwise determines that such repurchase would be in the best interests of the
Company.

parties, are Year 2000 Compliant. "YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT" means the ability to (a)

including accepting date input, providing date output, and processing dates or
portions of dates; (b) function before, during, and after January 1, 2000,
without the need for program changes caused by the advent of the new century;

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS.
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and
warrants to the Company as of the Closing as follows (such representations and
warranties do not lessen or obviate the representations and warranties of the
Company set forth in this Agreement):
4.1 REQUISITE POWER AND AUTHORITY. Purchaser has all necessary power
and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry out their provisions. All
action on Purchaser's part required for the lawful execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the Related Agreements have been or will be effectively taken
prior to the Closing. Upon their execution and delivery, this Agreement and the
Related Agreements will be valid and binding obligations of Purchaser,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights, (ii) general principles
of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies, and (iii) to the
extent that the enforceability of the indemnification provisions of Section 2.9
of the Investor Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable laws.
4.2 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. Purchaser understands that the Shares
and the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act.
Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant
to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part
upon Purchaser's representations contained in the Agreement. Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants as follows:
(a) PURCHASER BEARS ECONOMIC RISK. Purchaser has substantial
experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of
securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the
capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of
this investment indefinitely unless the Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are
registered pursuant to the Securities Act or an exemption from registration
thereunder is available. Purchaser understands that the Company has no present
intention of registering the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its
Common Stock. Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any
exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that,
even if available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any
portion of the Shares or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the
amounts or at the times Purchaser might propose.
(b) ACQUISITION FOR OWN ACCOUNT. Purchaser is acquiring the
Shares and the Conversion Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment only
and not with a view towards their distribution.
(c) PURCHASER CAN PROTECT ITS INTEREST. Purchaser represents that
by reason of its, or of its management's, business or financial experience,
Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Related Agreements. Further,
Purchaser is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the
transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
12.
<PAGE> 18
(d) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser represents that it is an
accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(e) COMPANY INFORMATION. Purchaser has received and read the
Financial Statements and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's
business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and
management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company's
operations and facilities. Purchaser has also had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding
the terms and conditions of this investment.
(f) RULE 144. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares,
and, if issued, the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits
limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the
availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale
occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the
security to be sold, the sale being through an unsolicited "broker's
transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is
defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), and the number
of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified
limitations.
(g) RESIDENCE. If the Purchaser is an individual, the Purchaser
resides in the state or province identified in the address of the Purchaser set
forth on Exhibit A; if the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited
liability company or other entity, the office or offices of the Purchaser in
which its investment decision was made is located at the address or addresses of
