     Whereas, the Company desires to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser
desires to purchase from the Company, Common Stock and, depending on the trading

terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the "Share Purchase");

     Whereas, in connection with the sale and issuance of the Shares, the
Company desires to issue to the Purchaser the Warrants (as defined herein) to
purchase shares of Common Stock;

     Whereas, simultaneously herewith, the Company and the Purchaser are

     Whereas, simultaneously herewith, certain stockholders of the Company

Stock are entering into a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement") with the
Purchaser, pursuant to which such stockholders agree to vote their shares of
Common Stock in favor of certain of the transactions contemplated hereby and by
the Related Agreements (as defined herein);

     Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
promises, representations, warranties and covenants hereinafter set forth and
for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.  Agreement To Sell And Purchase.

     1.1  Authorization of Shares.  Subject to receipt of the Company
Stockholder Approval (as defined below), the Company has authorized (i) the sale
and issuance to the Purchaser of the Shares and the Warrants, (ii) the issuance
of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares (the "Conversion Shares") and (iii) the issuance of the Warrant Shares
(as defined herein) to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. The Shares,
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares shall have the rights, preferences,
privileges and

                                       1.


restrictions set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Restated
Certificate").

     1.2  Sale and Purchase.

          (a)  Common Stock.  Subject to Section 1.2(c) and the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the
Purchaser and the Purchaser agrees to purchase at the Closing (as defined below)
that number of shares of Common Stock, which when multiplied by the Common Stock
Price (as defined below) is as near as possible to two hundred million dollars
($200,000,000) (the "Common Shares"). Subject to Section 1.2(b), the per share
purchase price for the Common Shares shall be equal to the higher of (i) $23.00,
or (ii) the average closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National
Market System for the 10 consecutive full trading days ending on the
Determination Date (as defined below) (the "Closing Average"), subject to a
maximum per share purchase price of thirty-five dollars ($35) (the "Common Stock
Price"). If the Closing Average is less than ten dollars ($10) per share, the
Purchaser will have the right to terminate this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, subject to the Company's rights under Section 1.2(b), at
any time during the four Business Day period commencing on the Determination
Date, exercisable by the Purchaser's delivery of written notice to such effect
to the Company during such four Business Day period; provided that such notice
and the Purchaser's termination of this Agreement may be withdrawn at any time
during such four Business Day period. For purposes hereof, "Determination Date"
means the trading day immediately preceding the date on which all the conditions
to Closing (other than conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied
until the Closing) set forth in Section 5 hereof shall have been satisfied or
waived.

          (b)  Adjustment of Common Stock Price.  If the Purchaser exercises its
termination right pursuant to Section 1.2(a), the Company shall have the right,
exercisable during the three Business Day period following the date of the
Purchaser's notice of termination by delivery of written notice to the Purchaser
during such three Business Day period, to adjust the Common Stock Price to be
ten dollars ($10) per share. If the Company makes an election to adjust the
terms of the transaction as contemplated by the preceding sentence within such
three Business Day period, (i) no termination of this Agreement shall be deemed
to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.2(a) and (ii) this Agreement shall remain
in effect in accordance with its terms, except that all references in this
Agreement to the Common Stock Price shall be deemed to refer to the Common Stock
Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.2(b).

          (c)  Restructuring of Share Purchase if Common Stock Price Is Less
Than Thirty Dollars.  In the event that the Common Stock Price is less than
thirty dollars ($30) per share, the number of shares of Common Stock to be
purchased by the Purchaser shall be reduced and, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Purchaser shares of
Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 1.2(c). For purposes of this
Section 1.2(c), the term "Adjustment Price" shall mean (i) if the Closing
Average is equal to or greater than ten dollars ($10) per share, the Common
Stock Price or (ii) if the Closing Average is less than $10, the Closing
Average.

               (i)   Decrease in Number of Common Shares Purchased.  The number
of Common Shares that the Company shall issue to the Purchaser shall be reduced
to a

                                       2.


number equal to 6,666,667 shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Adjustment Price and the denominator of which is thirty dollars
($30).

               (ii)   Sale of Preferred Stock to the Purchaser.  The Company
agrees to issue to the Purchaser and the Purchaser agrees to purchase in
accordance with the terms hereof that number of shares of Preferred Stock having
an aggregate initial liquidation value equal to (x) two hundred million dollars
($200,000,000) less (y) the aggregate number of Common Shares purchased
multiplied by the Adjustment Price (the "Preferred Shares"). If, as of the
Closing Date, the sum of (1) the aggregate initial liquidation value of the
Preferred Shares to be purchased pursuant to the preceding sentence, (2) the
value of the Common Shares to be purchased (calculated as the product of the
number of Common Shares to be purchased and the Common Stock Price) and (3) the
value of the Common Stock previously owned by the Purchaser (calculated as the
product of the number of such shares and the amount paid therefor), exceeds 25%
of the sum of (1) the aggregate initial liquidation value of Preferred Shares to
be purchased, (2) the value of Common Shares to be purchased (calculated as the
product of the number of Common Shares to be purchased and the Common Stock
Price) and (3) the value of all the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the
Closing Date prior to the transactions contemplated hereby (calculated as the
product of the number of such shares and the Closing Average) (such excess above
25%, the "Excess Equity Value"), then the number of shares of Preferred Stock to
be purchased by the Purchaser shall be reduced by a number of shares as would
have an aggregate initial liquidation value equal to the Excess Equity Value
(the "Excess Preferred Shares").

     1.3  Warrants.  Upon the closing of the Share Purchase, in accordance with
this Section 1.3, the Company shall issue to the Purchaser warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase in the aggregate a number of shares of Common Stock
which, when combined with the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Purchaser as of the Closing Date and the number of shares of Common Stock that
would be issuable as of the Closing pursuant to the Preferred Shares to be
issued pursuant to Section 1.2(c)(ii), if any, would constitute (after issuance)
30% of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the
Closing Date, rounded to the nearest whole share (the "Warrant Shares"). The
Warrant Shares shall be allocated among different forms of warrants as follows:

          (i)   a warrant to purchase the lesser of (i) 33 1/3% of all the
Warrant Shares and (ii) 2,941,402 Warrant Shares shall be issued in the form of
Exhibit B hereto;

          (ii)  a warrant to purchase the lesser of (i) 33 1/3% of all the
Warrant Shares and (ii) 2,941,401 Warrant Shares shall be issued in the form of
Exhibit C hereto; and

          (iii) (A) if the Closing Average is equal to or greater than thirty
dollars ($30), a warrant to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares after the
allocation set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above (the "Vested Warrant Shares")
in the form of Exhibit D hereto, having a per share exercise price equal to the
Common Stock Price or (B) if the Closing Average is less than thirty dollars
($30), (1) a warrant to purchase a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number
of Vested Warrant Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Adjustment Price and the denominator of which is thirty dollars ($30) in the
form of Exhibit D hereto, having a per share exercise price equal to the Common
Stock Price, and (2) a warrant to purchase the

                                       3.


remaining Vested Warrant Shares after the allocation set forth in the preceding
clause (1) in the form of Exhibit E hereto, having a per share exercise price
equal to the lesser of (x) thirty dollars ($30) and (y) three times the Closing
Average; provided that a portion of any Warrant to be issued pursuant to this
Section 1.3(iii)(B)(2) shall be mandatorily exercisable in accordance with its
terms with respect to a number of Vested Warrant Shares equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock, if any, that would have been issuable upon conversion of
the Excess Preferred Shares (if they were issued) as of the Closing Date,
subject to a maximum of all the Vested Warrant Shares subject to such Warrant.

The Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any additional consideration for the
issuance of the Warrants and, in addition to the terms set forth above, the
terms of each of the Warrants shall be as set forth in Exhibits B, C, D and, if
applicable, E.

     1.4  Use and Escrow of Certain Funds.

          (a)  The Company and the Purchaser agree that (i) sixty percent (60%)
of the proceeds received by the Company in the Share Purchase and forty percent
(40%) of the proceeds received by the Company upon the exercise of any of the
Warrants shall be retained by the Company without any restriction whatsoever on
the use thereof and (ii) an amount in cash equal to forty percent (40%) of any
proceeds received by the Company in the Share Purchase and sixty percent (60%)
of the proceeds received by the Company upon the exercise of any of the Warrants
shall be deposited into an interest-bearing escrow account (the "Escrow
Account") with an escrow agent to be selected by mutual agreement of the Company
and the Purchaser pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form of Exhibit F
hereto, with such changes and additions as shall be requested by the escrow
agent or the L/C Bank (as defined below) and reasonably acceptable to the
Company and the Purchaser (the "Escrow Agreement"). At any time that this
Agreement provides for the Escrowed Funds to be released from the Escrow
Account, both parties agree to take any action required under the Escrow
Agreement to cause the release of the Escrowed Funds. Such proceeds shall be
allocated in such manner until such time as the aggregate amount of proceeds
retained by the Company pursuant to clause (i) above equals one hundred million
dollars ($100,000,000), after which time an amount in cash equal to all such
proceeds shall be deposited into the Escrow Account until such time as all such
deposited funds (but excluding any interest earned on such funds) equal one
hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), after which time all further proceeds
shall be retained by the Company. All amounts deposited into the Escrow Account,
together with all interest earned on amounts in the Escrow Account (all such
funds and interest, the "Escrowed Funds"), shall be held as a trust fund and
shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other
judicial process of any creditor of any party hereto, and shall be held and
distributed in accordance with the terms, at the times and to the parties in
accordance with the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement. Upon release to the
Company in accordance with this Section 1.4 and the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of the Escrowed Funds
shall be designated as "Earmarked Funds" and used exclusively in accordance with
Section 8.2 of the Commercial Agreement and any additional Escrowed Funds shall
be released to the Company and may be used by the Company for any purpose
whatsoever. If, upon the release of the Escrowed Funds to the Company in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the amount of Escrowed Funds
(excluding any interest earned while in the Escrow Account) is less than one
hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) at such time, then 60% of the proceeds
from the exercise of any

                                       4.


of the Warrants (up to the difference between one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000) and such amount of Escrowed Funds) shall also be designated as
"Earmarked Funds" and used exclusively in accordance with Section 8.2 of the
Commercial Agreement.

          (b)  If (i) the bona fide commercial release and deployment ("Set Top
Box Launch") of the Integrated Product (as defined in the Commercial Agreement)
has not occurred by December 31, 2001, and (ii) the Purchaser has not committed
a Material Breach (as defined in the Commercial Agreement) of the Commercial
Agreement that has not been cured or waived at such time, then the Purchaser
shall have the option to require the Company, exercisable by written notice to
such effect to the Company (a "Put Notice"), to repurchase that number of
Preferred Shares having an initial liquidation value equal to one hundred
million dollars ($100,000,000) (the "Put Amount") and, if all the Preferred
Shares have an aggregate initial liquidation value of less than the Put Amount,
then the Purchaser may also require the Company to repurchase a number of shares
of Common Stock having a value (calculated as the product of the number of
shares of Common Stock and the Common Stock Price) equal to the difference
between the aggregate initial liquidation value of the Preferred Shares and the
Put Amount. Subject to Section 1.4(c), the aggregate purchase price for the
repurchase of Shares pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) shall be deemed paid by the
release to the Purchaser of all the Escrowed Funds (including all interest
included therein); provided that amount of the interest earned on funds
deposited into the Escrow Account to be released to the Purchaser shall be
reduced by the amount of dividends actually paid in cash or Common Stock to the
Purchaser on the Preferred Shares, subject to a maximum equal to the amount of
all such interest. The closing of such repurchase shall occur as soon as
practicable following delivery of the Purchaser's notice of exercise, subject to
the receipt of necessary governmental approvals. The Company agrees to use its
best efforts to obtain all such governmental approvals and take all such other
actions as shall be required to consummate such repurchase. At such closing, the
Purchaser shall deliver to the Company certificates representing the Shares to
be repurchased and the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser and the escrow
agent under the Escrow Agreement any notice of release or other instrument
reasonably requested by either of them to effectuate the release of the Escrowed
Funds (including all interest earned thereon, subject to the proviso in the
second sentence of this section) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow
Agreement and this Section 1.4(b).

          (c)  Within thirty (30) days after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser shall establish with a financial
institution selected by the Purchaser (the "L/C Bank") an irrevocable letter of
credit in an amount equal to the amount of Escrowed Funds (as changed from time
to time) for the benefit of the Purchaser substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit G (the "Letter of Credit"), which Letter of Credit shall be
available for drawing by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) and shall
be secured by a first priority security interest in the Escrowed Funds as
collateral for the Company's repayment of any amounts drawn on the Letter of
Credit. The terms of the Letter of Credit shall include, without limitation, (i)
a draw down period that shall expire no earlier than the 180th day after
December 31, 2001 and (ii) the right of the Purchaser to draw upon the Letter of
Credit as provided under this Section 1.4(c) without action or authorization on
the part of the Company. In the event that, for any reason, all or any portion
of the Escrowed Funds are not released to the Purchaser in accordance with
Section 1.4(b) and the terms of the Escrow Agreement within thirty (30) days of
the Purchaser's Put Notice, then the Purchaser shall have the right to draw on

                                       5.


the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the total amount of Escrowed Funds at
the time of Purchaser's Put Notice less the amounts of any Escrowed Funds
actually received by the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall receive such funds
at the closing contemplated by Section 1.4(b). The costs of the Letter of Credit
shall be divided equally between the Company and the Purchaser; provided that
the Company shall not be required to pay more than four hundred thousand dollars
($400,000) of such costs.

          (d)  If the Set Top Box Launch occurs prior to December 31, 2001, the
Company shall be entitled to receive from the escrow under the Escrow Agreement
all Escrowed Funds. One hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of the Escrowed
Funds released to the Company shall be designated as Earmarked Funds and used
exclusively in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Commercial Agreement and any
additional Escrowed Funds shall be released to the Company and may be used by
the Company for any purpose whatsoever. If, upon the release of the Escrowed
Funds to the Company in accordance with the foregoing and the terms of the
Escrow Agreement, the amount of Escrowed Funds (excluding any interest earned
thereon) is less than one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) at such time,
then 60% of the proceeds from the exercise of any of the Warrants (up to the
difference between one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) and such amount of
Escrowed Funds) shall also be designated as Earmarked Funds and used exclusively
in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Commercial Agreement.

     1.5  Adjustments.  To the extent not actually adjusted pursuant to the
adjustment provisions for the Preferred Stock in the Restated Certificate or in
the terms of each applicable Warrant, the applicable purchase price, conversion
price and exercise price with respect to the purchase of the Shares, the
conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants and the
number and nature of the securities to be received upon the conversion of the
Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted to reflect
any stock splits, cash or noncash dividends, recapitalizations, mergers,
combinations, distributions, issuances, reclassifications, exchanges,
substitutions or other similar events with respect to the capital stock of the
Company, or sales of capital stock below the applicable purchase price with
respect to the Shares, in each case, to provide the Purchaser with such terms
and rights, economic and otherwise, that the Purchaser would have received if
such event occurred after the Closing.

SECTION 2.  Closing, Delivery and Payment.

     2.1  Closing.  The closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares and
Warrants by the Purchaser under this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place
five (5) days following the Determination Date, unless the Purchaser shall have
delivered to the Company a notice exercising its termination right pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) and the Company shall have exercised its right to adjust the
terms of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 1.2(b), in
which case the Closing shall occur ten (10) Business Days following the
Determination Date (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day), at the offices of Cooley Godward LLP, 3175 Hanover
Street, Palo Alto, California 94304 or at such other time or place as the
Company and the Purchaser may mutually agree (the "Closing Date").

     2.2  Delivery.  At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser (i) certificates registered in the
name of the Purchaser

                                       6.


representing the Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser in accordance with
Section 1, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances (other than those
arising pursuant to this Agreement and the Related Agreements), and (ii) the
Warrants in the form of the applicable exhibits attached hereto, for the
Warrants to be issued to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 1, free and

authorized officer of the Company and registered in the name of the Purchaser.
At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser shall

SECTION 3.  Representations and Warranties of the Company.

     Except as expressly set forth on a Schedule of Exceptions delivered by the
Company to the Purchaser simultaneously herewith, the Company hereby represents
and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing
Date 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 and the Stockholders Agreement, the Commercial Agreement, the

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
all jurisdictions 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 could not reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the
Company or its business, assets, financial condition, prospects, liabilities or
results of operations (a "Material Adverse Effect").  The Company does not,
directly or indirectly, own or control any interest in any corporation, joint
venture, limited partnership or similar entity.  Attached hereto as Exhibit H is
a complete and correct copy of the by-laws of the Company, as amended to the
date of this Agreement (the "By-laws").

     3.2  Capitalization; Voting Rights.  The authorized capital stock of the
Company as of May 31, 2000 consists of seventy-five million (75,000,000) shares

issued and outstanding and (ii) 6,141,409 shares were reserved for future
issuance to employees and non-employee directors pursuant to outstanding stock
options issued pursuant to the Company Option Plans (as defined below) and (iii)
25,000 shares were reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Outstanding
Warrants (as defined below), and two million (2,000,000) shares of Preferred
Stock (par value $.001 per share), of which no shares have been issued.  The
Company has not issued any shares of its capital stock between May 31, 2000 and
the date of this Agreement, except pursuant to the exercise of options. All
issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock: (a) have been duly
authorized and validly issued, (b) are fully paid and nonassessable, (c) were
issued without violation of any preemptive or preferential right, and (d) were
issued in

                                       7.


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. The Company will reserve an adequate
number of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares and exercise of the Warrants. Except as may be granted pursuant to the
Related Agreements, stock awards and options to purchase shares of Common Stock
granted pursuant to the Company's 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, 1999 Equity
Incentive Plan and 1999 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Company
Option Plans") issued pursuant to the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Purchase Plan") and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company's
Common Stock (the "Outstanding Warrants"), there are no outstanding options,
warrants, rights (including conversion or 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 or the
designation of any board member by any series of Preferred Stock or by holders
of Common Stock. The Company has reserved 12,800,000 shares of Common Stock for

the Company pursuant to the Company Option Plans, of which 3,677,766 remain
available for future grant and has reserved 600,000 shares of Common Stock for
issuance to employees pursuant to the Purchase Plan, of which 516,033 shares
remain available for future issuance. When issued in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the Restated Certificate, the Shares, the
Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, 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. Except as contained in the Related Agreements and the
Restated Certificate, or as set forth in Section 3.2 of the Schedule of
Exceptions, the Company is not aware of any written agreement or other
understandings relating to the voting of its securities. Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, (x) there are no

acquire any securities of the Company and (y) there are no other subscriptions,
options, calls, warrants or other rights (including registration rights, whether
demand or piggyback registration rights), agreements, arrangements or

the Company to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party. Except
as set forth in Section 3.2 of the Schedule of Exceptions, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements will
not trigger the anti-dilution provisions or other price or conversion adjustment
mechanisms of any outstanding subscriptions, options, calls, warrants,
commitments, contracts, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, demands,
conversion rights or other agreements or arrangements of any character or nature
whatsoever under which the Company is or may be obligated to issue or acquire
shares of any of its capital stock. The sale of the Shares and the issuance of
the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Restated Certificate
and the issuance of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants is not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights, rights of
first refusal, subscription or similar rights that have not been properly
waived.

     3.3  Authorization; Binding Obligations.

          (a)  All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers,
directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the

                                       8.


Related Agreements, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder
and thereunder as of the Closing and the authorization, sale, issuance and
delivery of the Shares pursuant hereto and the Conversion Shares pursuant to the
Restated Certificate has been taken, except for the approval by the stockholders
of the Company (i) by a majority of the votes cast of the issuance of the
Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares and (ii) by the holders of
a majority of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the adoption of the
Restated Certificate (together, the "Company Stockholder Approval"). The Company
Stockholder Approval is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of
the Company's securities necessary to adopt this Agreement and any of the
Related Agreements and approve the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
Each of the Agreement and the Related Agreements, are valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except
(a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights;
(b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable
remedies; and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification
provisions in Section 6.4 of the Stockholders Agreement may be limited by
applicable laws. The issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants, the
subsequent exercise of the Warrants and the issuance of shares of Common Stock
in connection therewith and the subsequent conversion of the Preferred Shares
into Conversion Shares are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights
or rights of first refusal.

          (b)  Other than filings which may be necessary pursuant to the

transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and the Related Agreements. The
Purchaser may 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 is available. The 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 the Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Shares or the
Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times the

conditions of this investment.

          (e)  Rule 144.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares,
and, if issued, the Conversion Shares may be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. The Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect from
time to time, 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

144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not
exceeding specified limitations.

          (f)  Residence.  The office or offices of the Purchaser in which its
investment decision was made is located at 22000 AOL Way, Dulles, Virginia,

party for a strategic relationship that would be preclusive of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a "Competing Strategic
Relationship");

solicit any Competing Strategic Relationship; or

               (iii)  the determination by the Company's Board of Directors to
provide confidential information to, or enter into discussions or negotiations
with, any third party concerning any Competing Strategic Relationship.

                                      21.


Such notice shall disclose the identity of the party making or involved in such
proposal for a Competing Strategic Relationship and the material terms of any
such proposed Competing Strategic Relationship.

          (b)  Acquisition and Competing Strategic Relationship Proposals.
Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its nonstockholder
affiliates and the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries to, and shall instruct its stockholder affiliates and the
representatives and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries (including,
without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries) to, immediately cease and terminate any
existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any parties
conducted heretofore with respect to any (i) Competing Strategic Relationship or
(ii) acquisition or exchange of all or any material portion of the assets of, or
more than 15% of the equity interest in, the Company (by direct purchase from
the Company, tender or exchange offer or otherwise) or any business combination,
merger or similar transaction (including an exchange of stock or assets) with or
involving the Company (an "Acquisition Transaction"), other than the
transactions contemplated hereby. Except as set forth in this Section 6.2(b),
prior to the Closing, the Company shall not, and shall cause its nonstockholder
affiliates and the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries not to, and shall instruct its stockholder affiliates and the
representatives and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries (including,
without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by
the Company or any of its subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly,
knowingly encourage, solicit, participate in or initiate discussions or
negotiations with, or provide any information or data (other than the Company's
standard public information package) to, any corporation, partnership, person or
other entity or group (other than Purchaser, any affiliate or associate of
Purchaser or any designees of Purchaser) with respect to any inquiries or the
making of any offer or proposal (including, without limitation, any offer or
proposal to the stockholders of the Company) concerning an Acquisition
Transaction (an "Acquisition Proposal") or a Competing Strategic Relationship (a
"Competing Strategic Relationship Proposal") or otherwise knowingly facilitate
any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal or a
Competing Strategic Relationship Proposal; provided, however, that (x) prior to
                                           -----------------
the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company may furnish
information and access, but only in response to a request for information or
access, to any person or entity making a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal
to the board of directors of the Company after the date hereof which was not
knowingly encouraged, solicited or initiated by the Company or any of its
affiliates or any director, employee, representative or agent of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any investment banker,
attorney or accountant retained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries) on or
after the date hereof and may participate in discussions and negotiate with such
person or entity concerning any such Acquisition Proposal and (y) after the
Company Stockholders Meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company may
authorize the Company, to enter into a binding written agreement concerning a
Superior Proposal (as defined below), if and only if, in any such case under
clause (x) or (y) above, (i) the board of directors of the Company determines in
good faith, (A) taking into account the written, reasoned advice of outside
counsel to the Company to the effect that failing to provide such information or
access or to participate in such discussions or negotiations or so to authorize,
as the case may be, is reasonably likely to constitute a breach of such board's
fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) taking into account the written
advice of financial advisors to the Company to such effect, that such
Acquisition Proposal, if accepted, is reasonably

                                      22.


likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and
regulatory aspects of the proposal and the person or entity making the proposal
and would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the
Company's stockholders from a financial point of view than the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement (any such more favorable Acquisition Proposal as
to which both of the determinations referred to in subclauses (A) and (B) of
this clause (i) have been made being referred to in this Agreement as a
"Superior Proposal"), and (ii) the board of directors of the Company receives
from the person or entity making such bona fide written Acquisition Proposal an
executed confidentiality agreement the terms of which are (without regard to the
terms of such Acquisition Proposal) (A) no less favorable to the Company, and
(B) no less restrictive to the person or entity making such bona fide written
Acquisition Proposal than those contained in the Stockholders Agreement. Nothing
in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board of Directors of the Company from, to
the extent applicable, complying with Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange
Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal.

     6.3  Stockholder Approval.  As promptly as practicable following the date
hereof, the Company shall take all action necessary to obtain the Company
Stockholder Approval, including, without limitation, preparing, filing with the
SEC and mailing to its stockholders a proxy statement or statements with respect
thereto, and duly calling, giving notice of, convening and holding a meeting or
meetings of its stockholders for such purpose (the "Company Stockholders
Meeting"). Notwithstanding that any of the other conditions to the Closing may
not be satisfied, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the Company
Stockholders Meeting to occur as soon as reasonably possible after the date
hereof. The Board shall recommend that its stockholders provide the Company
Stockholder Approval, and may not withdraw or modify such recommendation prior
to the taking of the votes to be taken at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

     6.4  Ordinary Course of Business.

          (a)  Except as otherwise contemplated by the terms of this Agreement,
during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date (the "Pre-

commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its current business
organizations, keep available the services of its officers and employees and
preserve its relationships with customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees,
advertisers, distributors and others having business dealings with it to the end
that its goodwill and ongoing businesses shall be unimpaired.

Closing Period, each of the Company and its subsidiaries shall not, without the
prior consent of Purchaser:

if there are no officers with such titles, the officers whose responsibility is
executive oversight of the Company's and its subsidiaries' operations) or any
executive vice president, or appoint any person to fill a vacancy in any such
office, or (B) approve any new, or modify any existing material executive
officer and director compensation plans or agreements;

holders of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Article III, Section D.2(b) of the
Restated Certificate, if the Preferred Stock were issued;

               (v)    redeem, acquire or otherwise purchase any shares of Common
Stock or preferred stock of the Company, except pursuant to Company Plans or
agreements entered into in the ordinary course with employees of the Company;

               (vi)   sell a subsidiary's securities to any third party (other
than the Company or any other wholly owned subsidiary of the Company);

technology or other Intellectual Property, to any other person, other than in
the ordinary course of business; or

               (viii) enter into any arrangement or contract to do any of the
foregoing.

     6.5  Efforts.  Each party hereto agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to take any and all actions required in order to consummate the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Related Agreements.

     6.6  Notification of Certain Matters.  During the Pre-Closing Period, the
Company shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser of the occurrence or non-
occurrence of any event known to the Company the occurrence or non-occurrence of
which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty
contained in Section 3 to be untrue in any material respect, the failure of the
Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement under this
Agreement, or the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions set forth in
Section 5.

     6.7  Reservation of Shares.  From and after the Closing, the Company shall

Preferred Stock.

     6.8  Restated Certificate.  Upon receipt of the Company Stockholder
Approval, the Company shall take all such action to file the Restated
Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and all such
other action to cause the Restated Certificate to be accepted for filing and
effective.
