In consideration of the mutual covenants and representations herein set forth, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows: 1. Sale of Stock. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase an aggregate of 720,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"), at the price of $0.001 per Share for an aggregate purchase price of $720.00. 2. Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares shall be paid by delivery to the Company at the time of execution of this Agreement of a check in the amount of the purchase price. 3. Limitations on Transfer. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares while the Shares are subject to the Company's right of first refusal except in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3. (a) Repurchase Option. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the employment or consulting relationship of Purchaser with the Company for any reason, with or without cause (including death or disability) (a "Termination"), the Company shall, upon the date of such termination, have an irrevocable, exclusive option (the "Repurchase Option") for a period of ninety (90) days from such date to repurchase from Purchaser, at the original purchase price per Share (the "Repurchase Price"), all or any portion of the Shares held by Purchaser as of such date, to the extent such Shares have not yet been released from the Company's Repurchase Option. The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company by written notice to Purchaser or his executor and, at the Company's option, (i) by delivery to the Purchaser or his executor, with such Notice, of a check in the amount of the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (ii) in the event the Purchaser is indebted to the Company, by cancellation by the Company of an amount of such indebtedness equal to the Repurchase Price for the Shares being repurchased, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and payment of the Repurchase Price in any of the ways described above, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the Company, without further action by Purchaser. If a Termination occurs at any time after the date hereof and prior to June 30, 1998, the Repurchase Option shall apply to 100% of the Shares. On June 30, 1998, 12/48ths of the shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option and 1/48th of the Shares shall be released from 1 2 the Repurchase Option each full calendar month thereafter, provided in each case the Purchaser is an employee or consultant of the Company on the date of each said release. Fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. (b) Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares may be sold or transferred (including transfer by operation of law), such Shares shall first be offered to the Company (the "Right of First Refusal"). (i) In the event the Purchaser wishes to sell the Shares, Purchaser shall deliver a notice ("Notice") to the Company stating (A) his bona fide intention to sell or transfer such Shares, (B) the number of such Shares to be sold or transferred, (C) the price for which he proposes to sell or transfer such Shares, and (D) the name of the proposed purchaser or transferee. (ii) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company or its assignee may elect to purchase all or none of the Shares to which the Notice refers, at the price per Share specified in the Notice. The purchase of the Shares in either such event shall occur at a closing held at the Company's principal office at a mutually agreed upon time which in no event shall be more than thirty (30) days following the end of the time period in which the Company had to elect to purchase such Shares. (iii) If all of the Shares to which the Notice refers are not elected to be purchased, as provided in Section 3(b) hereof, Purchaser may sell the Shares to any person named in the Notice at the price specified in the Notice or at a higher price, provided that such sale or transfer is consummated within sixty (60) days of the date of said Notice to the Company, and provided, further, that any such sale is in accordance with all the terms and conditions hereof. (c) Termination of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(b) above, the Company's Right of First Refusal shall terminate immediately as to all Shares upon the occurrence of the first to occur of the following events: (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the stockholders of the Company own less that 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) the date upon which a public market exists for the Company's capital 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 (i) such stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or (ii) such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal. 2 3 (d) Assignment. Whenever the Company shall have the right to purchase Shares under this Section 3, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or shareholders of the Company or other persons or organizations to exercise all of the Company's purchase rights under this Agreement and purchase all of such Shares; provided that if the fair market value of the Shares to be purchased on the date of such designation or assignment (the "Repurchase FMV") exceeds the purchase price of the Shares (determined as described hereinabove) to be purchased, then each such designee or assignee shall pay the Company cash equal to the difference between the Repurchase FMV and the purchase price of the Shares which such designee or assignee shall have the right to purchase. (e) Exempt Transfers. The provisions of this Section 3 shall not apply to a transfer of any Shares by Purchaser, either during his lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his ancestors, descendants or spouse, or any custodian or trustee for the account of Purchaser or Purchaser's ancestors, descendants or spouse; provided, in each such case that the transferee shall receive and hold such Shares subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3 and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance herewith. 4. Standoff Agreement. Purchaser agrees, in connection with the Company's initial public offering of its equity securities, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any Shares (other than those included in the registration, if any) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters; provided, that the officers and directors of the Company who own stock of the Company also agree to such restrictions. 5. No Transfer Except in Compliance with the Restrictions Herein. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred. Purchaser shall not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any shares which remain subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3 hereof. 6. Legends.

THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED 3 4 OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED." (c) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the applicable blue sky laws of any state. 7. Escrow. (a) The Shares issued under this Agreement shall be held by an escrow holder designated by the Company (the "Escrow Holder"), along with a stock assignment executed by the Purchaser in blank, until the expiration of the Company's Right of First Refusal with respect to such Shares as set forth above. (b) The Escrow Holder is hereby directed to permit transfer of the Shares only in accordance with this Agreement or instructions signed by both parties. In the event further instruc tions are desired by the Escrow Holder, he shall be entitled to rely upon directions executed by a majority of the authorized number of the Company's Board of Directors. The Escrow Holder shall have no liability for any act or omission hereunder while acting in good faith in the exercise of his own judgment. (c) If the Company or any assignee exercises its Right of First Refusal hereunder, the Escrow Holder, upon receipt of written notice of such exercise from the proposed transferee, shall take all steps necessary to accomplish such transfer. (d) When the Right of First Refusal have been exercised or expire unexercised or a portion of the Shares has been released from the provisions of Section 3 hereof, upon Purchaser's request the Escrow Holder shall promptly cause a new certificate to be issued for such released Shares and shall deliver such certificate to the Purchaser.

In consideration of granting of the right to my spouse to purchase shares of Optical Micro-Machines, as set forth in the Agreement, I hereby appoint my spouse as my attorney-in-fact in respect to the exercise of any rights under the Agreement and agree to be bound by the provisions of the Agreement insofar as I may have any rights in said Agreement or any shares issued pursuant thereto under the community property laws of the state of California or similar laws relating to marital property in effect in the state of our residence as of the date of the signing of the foregoing Agreement.

Dated: _______________, 19__ Signature: -------------------------------- -1- 10 EXHIBIT B INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT PURCHASER : ANIS HUSAIN COMPANY : OPTICAL MICRO-MACHINES SECURITY : COMMON STOCK AMOUNT : 72,000 SHARES In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, I, the Purchaser, represent to the Company the following: (a) I am sufficiently aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. I am purchasing these Securities for my own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). (b) I understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, I understand that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. (c) I further understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available (such as Rule 144 or the resale provisions of Rule 701 under the Securities Act). Moreover, I understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. In addition, I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company. 11 (d) I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits 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, including, among other things: (1) The availability of certain public information about the Company; (2) the resale occurring not less than two years after the party has purchased, and made full payment for, within the meaning of Rule 144, the securities to be sold; and, in the case of an affiliate, or of a non-affiliate who has held the securities less than three years, (3) the sale being made through a broker in 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 (the "Exchange Act") and the amount of securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the specified limitations stated therein, if applicable. The Purchaser further understands that the resale provisions of Rule 701 will not apply until 90 days after the Company becomes subject to the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act (typically upon the effective date of a company's initial public offerings). There can be no assurances that the requirements of Rule 144 or Rule 701 will be met, or that the Securities will ever be saleable. (e) I further understand that at the time I wish to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, I would be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the two- year minimum holding period had been satisfied. (f) I further understand that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, or that the resale provisions of Rule 701 are not available, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, compliance with some other registration exemption or the notification to the Company of the proposed disposition by me and the furnishing to the Company of (i) detailed information regarding the disposition, and (ii) and opinion of my counsel to the effect that such disposition will not require registration (I understand such counsel's opinion shall concur with the opinion by counsel for the Company and I shall have been informed of such compliance) will be required and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.
