3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:
3.1 Power; Authorization. Such Investor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, when executed and delivered by such Investor, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of such Investor, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Investors Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable laws and principles of public policy.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investors representation to the Company, which by such Investors execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof will be acquired for investment for such Investors own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
-12-
person or to any third person with respect to any of the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof.
3.3 Reliance upon Investors Representations. Such Investor understands that the Shares are not, and any Common Stock acquired on conversion thereof at the time of issuance may not be, registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that the Companys reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Investors representations set forth herein.
3.4 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the Companys business, financial condition, properties and prospects and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to such Investor or to which such Investor had access. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of such Investor to rely thereon.
3.5 Investment Experience; Economic Risk. Such Investor understands that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that an investment in the Company involves substantial risks. Such Investor is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development to that of the Company and acknowledges that such Investor is able to fend for himself, herself or itself. Such Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. Such Investor can bear the economic risk of such Investors investment and is able, without impairing such Investors financial condition, to hold the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of such Investors investment.
3.6 Accredited Investor Status.
(a) Such Investor represents to the Company that such Investor is an Accredited Investor (as defined below). If other than an individual, such Investor also represents that such Investor has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.
(b) The term Accredited Investor as used herein refers to:
(i) A person who is a director or executive officer of the Company;
(ii) Any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that persons spouse, at the time of the purchase exceeds $1,000,000;
(iii) Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that persons spouse in excess of
-13-
$300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year;
(iv) Any bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or any savings and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity; any broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; any insurance company as defined in Section 2(13) of the Securities Act; any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development company as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of that Act; any Small Business Investment Company licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958; any plan established and maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions for the benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000; any employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by persons that are Accredited Investors;
(v) Any private business development company as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
(vi) Any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust, or partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;
(vii) Any trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose purchase is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he or she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment; or
(viii) Any entity in which all of the equity owners are Accredited Investors.
As used in this Section 3.6, the term net worth means the excess of total assets over total liabilities. For the purpose of determining a persons net worth, the principal residence owned by an individual should be valued at fair market value, including the cost of improvements, net of current encumbrances. As used in this Section 3.6, income means actual economic income, which may differ from adjusted gross income for income tax purposes. Accordingly, such Investor should consider whether such Investor should add any or all of the following items to such Investors adjusted gross income for income tax purposes in order to reflect more accurately such Investors actual economic income: any amounts attributable to tax-exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan and alimony payments.
-14-
3.7 Residency. In the case of an Investor who is an individual, the state of such Investors residency, or, in the case of an Investor that is a corporation, partnership or other entity, the state of such Investors principal place of business, is correctly set forth on the Schedule of Investors.
3.8 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof are characterized as restricted securities under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such federal securities laws and applicable regulations such Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, 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 effected through a brokers transaction or in transactions directly with a market maker and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
3.9 Brokers or Finders. The Company has not, and will not, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by such Investor, any liability for brokerage or finders fees or agents commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement.
3.10 Tax Liability. Such Investor has reviewed with its own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Investor relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company, the Companys counsel, or any of the Companys agents. Such Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.11 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof unless and until (X) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement or (Y) such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
3.12 Legends. Such Investor understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Shares and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall bear the following legend (in addition to any legend required by the Ancillary Agreements or under applicable state securities laws):
-15-
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS THE CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS INTEND THAT THE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS BE INDEMNIFIED FROM LIABILITY FOR THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 6.15. To the extent permitted by law, if the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent jurisdiction (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by such court and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person with respect to any Losses referred to herein, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of
-20-
such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of such Indemnified Person.
6.16 Exculpation Among Investors. Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any other Investor, or any officer, director, stockholder, employee, agent, partner or Affiliate of any such other Investor, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company or in monitoring such investment. Each Investor agrees that no other Investor nor any officer, director, stockholder, employee, agent, partner or Affiliate of any other Investor shall be liable for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them relating to or in connection with the Company or the Shares, or both. Without limiting the foregoing, no Investor, nor any of its officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees or agents of Affiliates, or other holder of any Shares shall have any obligation, liability or responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any or all information about the Company or any subsidiary or their respective properties, business or financial and other affairs, acquired by such Investor or holder from the Company or any subsidiary or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, counsel or auditors of either, and in turn provided to another Investor or holder of Shares, nor shall any such Investor or other Person have any obligation or responsibility whatsoever to provide any such information to any other Investor or holder of Shares or to continue to provide any such information if any information is provided.
6.17 Waiver of Potential Conflicts of Interest. Each of the Investors and the Company acknowledges that Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation (WSGR), may have represented and may currently represent certain of the Investors. In the course of such representation, WSGR may have come into possession of confidential information relating to such Investors. Each of the Investors and the Company acknowledges that WSGR is representing only the Company in this transaction and that WSGR is not representing any Investor. Each of the Investors and the Company understands that an affiliate of WSGR has previously purchased shares of the Companys capital stock. By executing this Agreement, each of the Investors and the Company hereby waives any actual or potential conflict of interest which may arise as a result of WSGRs representation of such persons and entities and WSGRs possession of such confidential information. Each of the Investors and the Company represents that it has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel concerning the giving of this waiver.
6.18 Rights of Investors. Each Investor, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or privileges that such Investor may have pursuant to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Restated Certificate, the Bylaws or at law or in equity, and such Investor shall not incur or be subject to any liability or obligation to the Company, any other Investor or holder of Shares, any other stockholder or securityholder of the Company or any other person, by reason of exercising or refraining from exercising any such rights or privileges.
6.19 No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor has made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the purchase of the Shares as set forth in Section 1.1 and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4. Each Investor shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any
-21-
other financing of or investment in the Company, and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance.
6.20 Joint Product. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are the joint product of the Company and the Investors, and each provision hereof and thereof has been the subject of mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the Company and the Investors and shall not be construed against any party hereto.
