4.4                                 Investment Experience.  The Investor is an investor in companies in the development stage, can bear the economic risk of total loss its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of fending for itself and evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.

 

19



 

4.5                                 Disclosure of Information.  The Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares.  The Investor further represents that it 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 business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.  The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement or the Investors’ right to rely thereon.

 

4.6                                 Projections.  The Investor recognizes that, except as provided expressly in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or agents or consultants, including W.R.

23

(ii)                                  If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance or sale of the Shares or Conversion Shares, the legend required by such state authority.

 

(c)                                  At the Company’s expense, each Investor agrees to file in a timely manner any Schedule 13D or 13G required under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and any report required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE 7
Indemnification

 

7.1                                 Company Indemnification.

 

(a)                                  The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Investors, the Investors’ direct and indirect subsidiaries, affiliated entities and corporations, and each of their partners, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, affiliates and representatives (individually an “Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be reimbursed promptly as incurred), damages, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlements, or any other amounts that an Indemnified Party incurs as a result of any claim or claims made against it in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, investigation or other proceeding arising out of, or relating to the Investors’ actions in connection with the purchase by the Investors, or any of them, of Shares or in connection with any other transactions consummated or contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be held harmless or indemnified by the Company for acts, conduct or omissions as to which there has been a final adjudication that such Indemnified Party engaged in intentional misconduct or in knowing and culpable violation of the law.  The parties acknowledge that the undertakings made by the Company in this Section 7.1 are a material inducement to the Investors who would not purchase any Shares hereunder without such an undertaking on behalf of the Company.  Each Indemnified Party is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 7.1 and may enforce it against the Company as if a party hereto.

 

(b)                                 Each Indemnified Party shall notify the Company in writing of any action against such Indemnified Party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1(a) in respect of which the Company is or may be obligated to provide indemnification on account of Section 7.1(a) promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement thereof.  The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Company of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent (and only the extent) the Company shall have been materially prejudiced by the omission of such Indemnified Party so to notify the Company pursuant to this Section 7.1(b).  In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party of which such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Company, the Company shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that the Company may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party.  After notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 7.1(a) for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof nor for any settlement thereof entered into without the consent of the Company; provided, however, that (i) if the Company does not elect, or otherwise fails, to assume the defense of such claim or action or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (x) that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Company and of the Indemnified Party in defending such claim or action or (y) that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the Company, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, in the case of (i) and (ii)(x), or such different defenses, in the case of (ii)(y), and the Company shall be liable for any

 

25



 

reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense, such expenses to be reimbursed promptly as incurred.  In the event the Company elects to assume the defense of any claim tendered in accordance with this Section, the Company shall be solely and unconditionally responsible for the resolution of such claim, it being expressly understood that no such defense may be undertaken under a reservation of rights or with similar limitations or conditions.

 

(c)                                  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is held unenforceable, then the Company shall contribute to the loss, claim, damage, liability or expense for which such indemnification is held unenforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(d)                                 The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.  The Company agrees that, without the prior consent of the related Investor, which will not be unreasonably withheld, the Company will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending claim, threatened claim, action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7.1 unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, proceeding or investigation.

8.5                                 Notification of Certain Matters.  If any Investor or the Company shall, prior to the Closing, obtain actual knowledge of a breach of the representations and warranties made to that party in this Agreement, then that party shall promptly notify the breaching party of the breach.  Any party that does not give notice of such known breach prior to Closing and that elects, notwithstanding such knowledge, to complete the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, shall be deemed to have waived any remedy for such breach.

27



 

supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect thereto.

 

8.9                                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed (including by facsimile) in one or more counterpart signature pages, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

8.10                           Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue.

 

(a)                                  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereof.  Each Investor and the Company hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California, and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the Central District of California, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any of such document may not be enforced in or by those courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a California State Court or federal court.  Each Investor and the Company hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.3, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

 

8.11                           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  IF ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS ARISES OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION SHALL BE TRIED BY A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY.

8.14                           Amendment; Waivers, etc.  Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Common Stock not previously sold to the public that is issued or issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding Shares.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this section shall be binding upon each holder of any securities

 

28



 

purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding (including securities into which such securities have been converted), each future holder of all such securities and the Company.  Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.  Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

 

8.15                           Exculpation Among Investors.  Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.  Each Investor agrees that no Investor, nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, employees, attorneys or advisors of any Investor, shall be liable to any other Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the transactions contemplated hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreements.
