“Public Event” means the Company’s first public offering of its Common Stock, or a merger, direct listing, or other transaction that results in the Common Stock being publicly traded on a recognized exchange or national quotation system. If a merger occurs with a Person that is not publicly traded and the Person thereafter becomes publicly traded, the subsequent event is a Public Event.
“Transfer” means any direct or indirect transfer, donation, sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, grant of a security interest in or other disposal or attempted disposal of all or any portion of any Shares. Transfer shall include the granting of an option or right that could result in a disposal of all or part of the Shares or of any rights therein.
2. Purchase and Sale: Subscriber hereby purchases from the Company and the Company hereby sells to the Subscriber, the Shares in consideration for the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, but the Shares shall nevertheless be deemed to have been purchased as of the date of this Agreement.
3. Subscriber’s Representations and Warranties: Subscriber hereby representsand warrants to the Company that:
3.1. Subscriber has all requisite authority (and in the case of an individual, the capacity) to purchase the Shares, enter into this Subscription Agreement and to perform all the obligations required to be performed by the Subscriber hereunder, and such purchase will not contravene any law, rule or regulation binding on the Subscriber or any investment guideline or restriction applicable to the Subscriber.
3.2. Subscriber is an individual resident of, or is incorporated or otherwise formed under the laws of, the state or jurisdiction set forth on the signature page of this Agreement and is not acquiring the Shares as a nominee or agent or otherwise for any other person or entity.
3.3. Subscriber has such skill, knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, or competent professional advice concerning the Company, that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares.
3.4. Subscriber has had and continues to have the opportunity personally to obtain from the Company any information, to the extent possessed or obtainable without unreasonable effort and expense, necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of this proposed investment.
3.5. Subscriber understands that the Shares being acquired pursuant hereto have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the other securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and, therefore, that Subscriber must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time as the Shares cannot be sold or offered for sale unless the Shares are subsequently so registered or an exemption from registration is available.
3.6. Subscriber represents that he, she or it is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. A summary of Rule 501(a) is attached hereto as Appendix A.

3.7. The Subscriber is acquiring the Shares solely for investment for Subscriber’s own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution or other disposition thereof, and Subscriber has no present agreement, understanding, intent or arrangement to subdivide, distribute, sell, assign or transfer any part or all of Subscriber’s Shares, or any interest therein, to any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent permitted by the Securities Act and applicable law, Subscriber may transfer (without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the Shares to its Affiliates (as defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D and such Affiliate agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the representations contained in this Section 3. The term “Affiliate(s)” means a party’s officers, shareholders, directors, trustees, partners, members, managers, and any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control withsuch party or any of the persons or entities referred to above. The term “controls” as used herein (including the terms “controls,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to vote, or direct the vote of, fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of a person or entity.
4. Lock-up: In connection with any Public Event, Subscriber agrees to be bound by restrictions on Transfer (often referred to as lock-up restrictions) imposed by the underwriter, investment banker, or merger partner as a condition of the offering or merger, provided that: (i) unless Subscriber consents thereto in writing, no absolute restriction on trading or sale will extend for more than six (6) months after the effective date of the Public Event, and (ii) in no event shall the lock-up restrictions applicable to Subscriber be greater than those applicable to all executive officers and directors of the Company. The foregoing lock-up restrictions are in addition to any restrictions that may pertain under applicable law.
5. Right of Negotiation: Prior to the closing of a Public Event, if Subscriber or an Affiliate of Subscriber to whom Shares have been Transferred elects to consider a Transfer of any Shares to a Person other than to an Affiliate of Subscriber (Subscriber, or such Affiliate considering a Transfer is herein referred to as a “Transferor Holder”), then prior to soliciting, discussing or negotiating with any Person (other than an Affiliate of Subscriber) to Transfer any Shares, the Transferor Holder will send a Notice to the Company. For a period of thirty (30) days from the Company’s receipt of such Notice, unless the Company waives its right by Notice to Transferor Holder, Transferor Holder will negotiate exclusively with the Company to Transfer such Shares to the Company or its designees. If agreement is not reached within the thirty (30) day period, or if agreement is reached and the acquisition does not close within ten (10) days after the thirty (30) day period, then: (i) the Transferor Holder may offer the Shares identified in the Notice to other Persons, but may not Transfer such Shares without first complying with the refusal rights described in Section 6; and (ii) the foregoing rights will revive if the Shares that were the subject of the negotiation are not Transferred to a third Person within six (6) months after the end of the thirty (30) day period.
6. Right of Refusal: Prior to the closing of a Public Event, if a Transferor Holder proposes to Transfer all or any Shares to a third Person who is not an Affiliate of Subscriber, the Transferor Holder shall promptly notify the Company of such proposed Transfer, including the terms thereof and the proposed Transferee, and the Company shall have the right and option for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such Notice to purchase the offered Shares for the same purchase price and upon the same material economic terms and conditions set forth in the Notice. Concurrently with such Notice, Transferor Holder shall provide a full, complete and unredacted copy of the contract or other written evidence of the terms of the proposed Transfer.
7. No Sales to Competitors: Without the prior approval of Company, no Shares may be Transferred to a Competitor.
8. Indemnification: The Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each officer, director and member of the Company, and their respective affiliates, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all liabilities, claims, actions, demands, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and damages, whether involving such parties or third parties, resulting from any inaccuracy in any of the Subscriber’s representations or breach of any of the Subscriber’s representations, warranties or covenants contained herein. The Subscriber will reimburse the Company and each other Indemnified Party for their reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as they are incurred in connection with any action, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon the foregoing.
