Certain terms used and not otherwise defined in the text of this Agreement are defined in Section 9 hereof.
WITNESSETH
          WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and to sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as hereinafter defined), all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     1. Authorization of Securities. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale of up to 750,839,038 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.00001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), which will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and which will have the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in the form of Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”). The shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible are sometimes referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Securities”.
     2. Sale and Purchase of the Securities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained, the Company agrees to sell to the Purchasers, and each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the Closing (as defined below), the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock set forth in the column Shares Purchased opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I, for a purchase price per share of $.0745 (the “Purchase Price”), payable in cash.
     3. Closing; Payment of Purchase Price. The closing (the “Closing”) with respect to the transaction contemplated in Section 2 hereof shall take place at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP, One International Place, Boston, Massachusetts at 10:00 a.m. on May 15, 2008, or at such other time and place as the Company and Purchasers may agree (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a certificate representing the Series B Preferred Stock which such Purchaser is purchasing at the Closing, registered in the name of

 


 

such Purchaser, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of a wire transfer in the amount of the Purchase Price therefor.
     4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers; Register of Securities:, Restrictions on Transfer. Each Purchaser, severally as to itself and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company as of the Closing as follows:
          4.1. Organization. In the case of a Purchaser that is an entity, such Purchaser is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all corporate, limited liability company, or partnership power (as the case may be) and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
          4.2. Validity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein, in each case to which such Purchaser is a party, and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and the other Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein to which it is a party will be duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and each such agreement constitutes or will constitute a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
          4.3. Brokers. There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or other person which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of such Purchaser who might be entitled to any fee or commission for which the Company will be liable in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Such Purchaser has not become aware of the sale of Securities from any source other than the Company.
          4.4. Investment Representations and Warranties. Such Purchaser understands that the issuance of the Securities to the Purchasers has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act.
          4.5. Acquisition for Own Account. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment and not with a view toward distribution in a manner which would violate the Securities Act.
          4.6. Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. Such Purchaser, by reason of the business and financial experience of its management, has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and is able to sustain a loss of all of its investment in the Securities without economic hardship if such a loss should occur.
          4.7. Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 


 

          4.8. Access to Information. Such Purchaser has been given access to all Company documents, records, and other information, and has had adequate opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company’s officers, employees, agents, accountants, and representatives concerning the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities, and all other matters relevant to its investment in the Securities. The representations of Purchasers contained in this Section 4.8 shall not effect the ability of the Purchasers to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement.
          4.9. Restricted Securities.
          (a) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities will be 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 laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
          (b) Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
          (c) Such Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement.
          4.10. No Public Market. Such Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.
     5. Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser as of the Closing as follows:

          5.4. Consents.

The Company has taken all actions under its certificate of incorporation and its By-laws (the “Charter Documents”) as may be necessary or advisable to provide the Purchasers with the rights hereby contemplated.
          5.6. Issuance of Shares. The Securities have been duly authorized and a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and upon such issuance or conversion in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as the case may be, all such Securities will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes and Encumbrances, and will not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company that have not been waived, and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
          5.7. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents, the execution and filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance, as applicable, of the Series B Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares) will not (a) result in a violation of the Charter Documents, (b) conflict with or result in the breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give rise to any right of termination, acceleration or cancellation under, any agreement, lease, mortgage, license, indenture, instrument or other contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, (c) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including, without limitation, U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (d) result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of their assets. The Company is not in violation of its Charter Documents, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would cause the Company to be in default) under, nor has there occurred any event giving others (with notice or lapse of time or both) any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party.

There are no provisions of the Charter Documents, no agreements to which the Company is a party and no agreements by which the Company is bound other than the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, which (a) may affect or restrict the voting rights of the Purchasers with respect to the Securities in their capacity as stockholders of the Company, (b) restrict the ability of the Purchasers, or any successor thereto or assignee or transferee thereof, to transfer the Securities, (c) would adversely affect the Company’s or any Purchaser’s right or ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or comply with the terms of the other Transaction Documents or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (d) require the vote of more than a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, voting together as a single class, to take or prevent any corporate action, other than those matters requiring a class vote under Delaware law, or (e) entitle any party to nominate or elect any director of the Company or require any of the Company’s stockholders to vote for any such nominee or other person as a director of the Company in each case.

All shares of capital stock and other securities issued by the Company prior to the Closing Date have been issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, and in compliance with all applicable corporate laws. The Company has not violated the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the issuance of any shares of capital stock or other securities prior to the Closing Date. The Company has not offered any of its capital stock, or any other securities, for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy any of the foregoing from the Company, or otherwise approached or negotiated with any other person in respect thereof, in such a manner as to require registration under the Securities Act.
          5.11. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates or any other person acting on the Company’s behalf, has directly or indirectly engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising with respect to the Securities nor have any of such persons made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause this offering of Securities to be integrated with any prior offering of securities of the Company for purposes of the Securities Act. The Company has only offered the Securities to a limited number of Persons that it reasonably believes to be “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
          5.12. Taxes. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have properly filed all federal, foreign, state, local, and other tax returns and reports which are required to be filed, which returns and reports were properly completed and are true and correct in all material respects, and all taxes, interest, and penalties due and owing have been timely paid, except where any failure with respect thereto would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not be material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or

 


 

otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, there are no outstanding waivers or extensions of time with respect to the assessment or audit of any tax or tax return of the Company or any Subsidiary, or claims now pending or matters under discussion with any taxing authority in respect of any tax of the Company or any Subsidiary.
          5.13. Compliance with Laws. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have, and are in material compliance with the terms of, all franchises, permits, licenses and other rights and privileges necessary to conduct the Company’s present and proposed business and are in compliance with and have not violated, in any material respect, any applicable provisions of any laws, statutes, ordinances or regulations or the terms of any judgments, orders, decrees, injunctions or writs.
          5.14. Brokers. The Company has not dealt with any broker, finder, commission agent, placement agent or arranger in connection with the sale of the Securities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with such transactions. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates nor any other person acting on its behalf (other than its officers acting in such capacity) has solicited offers for, or offered or sold, the Securities.
          5.15. Related-Party Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.15 or as described in the notes to the Historical Financial Statements, no employee, officer, director or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary or member of his or her immediate family is currently indebted to the Company or any Subsidiary, nor is the Company or any Subsidiary indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of such individuals, except for amounts incurred in the ordinary course of business for expense reimbursement and accrued payroll. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.15 or as reflected in the notes to the Historical Financial Statements, as of the date hereof none of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company or any Subsidiary is affiliated or with which the Company or any Subsidiary has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the Company except that employees, officers, or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary and members of their immediate families may own stock in an amount not to exceed 1% of the outstanding capital stock of publicly traded companies that may compete with the Company. As of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 5.15 or as described in the notes to Historical Financial Statements, no employee, director, officer or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary and no member of the immediate family of any such employee, officer, director or stockholder is directly or indirectly interested in any contract with the Company or any Subsidiary.
          5.16. Disclosure. (i) No representation or warranty by the Company contained in this Agreement, (ii) no representation, warranty or statement by the Company contained in any certificate or schedule furnished at the Closing to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) no other statement made by the Company to the Purchasers in this Agreement, including the Schedules hereto and any certificates delivered hereunder, contains any untrue statement by the Company of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make any statement herein or therein not misleading. All information relating to or concerning the Company and the Subsidiaries, set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in the Schedules hereto and any certificates delivered hereunder, is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements

 


 

made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except for those matters that have been disclosed to the Purchasers, to the Company’s knowledge after reasonable investigation, there are no facts in existence as of the date of this Agreement related to the Company’s business which have had or are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and which, if learned by the Purchasers, might reasonably be expected to materially diminish the Purchasers’ evaluation of the worth or profitability of the technology or the business or which, if learned by the Purchasers, might reasonably be expected to deter the Purchasers from completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to general economic conditions and matters generally affecting the markets in which the Company conducts its business.
          5.17. Absence of Changes. Except (i) in each case with respect to events which have been disclosed to the Purchasers, (ii) transactions in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) such events occurring on the Closing Date, since February 1, 2008, the Company has operated its business in the ordinary course of business, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there has not been, to the knowledge of the Chief Executive Officer or General Counsel of the Company:
          (1) any Material Adverse Effect or any event or events that individually or in the aggregate would have a Material Adverse Effect;
          (2) any damage, destruction or loss (whether or not covered by insurance) materially and adversely affecting the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary;
          (4) any sale, assignment or transfer, or any agreement to sell, assign or transfer, any material asset, liability, property, obligation or right of the Company or any Subsidiary to any Person, including, without limitation, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates; any obligation or liability incurred, or any loans or advances made, by the Company or any Subsidiary to any of its Affiliates, other than expenses allowable in the ordinary course of business of the Company;
          (5) any purchase or acquisition of, or agreement, plan or arrangement to purchase or acquire, any material property, rights or assets;
          (6) any assignment, lease or other transfer or disposition, or any other agreement or arrangement therefor by the Company or any Subsidiary of any property or equipment having a value in excess of $100,000 except in the ordinary course of business;
          (7) any waiver of any material rights or claims of the Company or any Subsidiary;
          (8) any agreement or commitment by the Company or any Subsidiary to do any of the foregoing or any transaction by the Company or any Subsidiary; or

 


 

          (9) any lien upon, or adversely affecting, any material property or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.
          5.18. Historical Financial Statements. The Company has provided to the Purchasers the financial statements attached as Exhibit B (the “Historical Financial Statements”). The Historical Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, on a consolidated basis, of the Persons described in such financial statements as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year end adjustments. As of the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any contingent liability or liability for taxes, long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
          5.19. Title to Assets. The Company had, as of the dates specified therein, good and valid title to all of its assets reflected in the Historical Financial Statements referred to in Section 5.18. Schedule 5.19, hereto, correctly sets forth each agreement pursuant to which the Company has granted a lien on its assets as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the execution, amendment, or termination of certain securitization documents and credit documents at the Closing).
          5.20. Material Adverse Effect. Since April 10, 2008, no event, circumstance or change has occurred that has caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company.
          5.21. No Proceedings.
