NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE.

 

1.1 Authorization of Shares and Warrants. On or prior to the Closing (as defined in Section 2 below), the Company shall have authorized (a) the sale and issuance to the Purchasers of an aggregate of 8,709,678 shares of its Series E Stock pursuant to this Agreement and the issuance to the Purchasers of 196,206 shares of Series E Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (together, the “Shares”), (b) the sale and issuance to the Purchasers of the Warrants associated with the Shares that comprise the Units, and (c) the issuance of such shares of Series E Stock and Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Shares and exercise of the Warrants (together, the “Conversion Shares”). The Shares and the Conversion Shares shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Tenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

- 1 -

Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, severally and not jointly, the number of Units set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A at a purchase price of $3.10 per Unit (the “Series E Price”). The Company and the Purchasers, having adverse interests and as a result of arm’s length bargaining, agree that (i) neither the Purchasers nor any of their affiliates have rendered or have agreed to render any services to the Company in connection with this Agreement or the issuance of the Units, and (ii) the Warrants are not being issued as compensation. The Company and the Purchasers agree that the fair market value of the Preferred Warrant purchased by each Purchaser as part of the Units they are purchasing is equal to $0.001 multiplied by the number of shares of Series E Stock for which such Preferred Warrant is initially exercisable, and to file all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns in a manner consistent with such valuation. The Company and the Purchasers agree that the fair market value of the Contingent Warrants which will be purchased by each Purchaser as part of the Units they are purchasing is equal to $0.0001 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Contingent Warrant is exercisable at the time of purchase, and to file all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns in a manner consistent with such valuation. The number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Contingent Warrants shall be determined based on the time at which the Company consummates its initial underwritten public offering (“IPO”), all as more specifically set forth on Schedule 1.2 hereto.

 

2. CLOSING.

 

2.1 Closing. The sale and purchase of the Units under this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Piper Rudnick LLP, 1200 Nineteenth Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20036 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser listed on Exhibit A (i) such number of Shares to be purchased by such Purchaser as set forth on Exhibit A opposite such Purchaser’s name, (ii) a Preferred Warrant exercisable for such number of shares of Series E Stock as set forth on Exhibit A opposite such Purchaser’s name, and (iii) a Contingent Warrant, by delivery to each Purchaser of a certificate representing the number of Shares to be purchased as set forth on Exhibit A, a Preferred Warrant to acquire such number of shares of Series E Stock as set forth on Exhibit A, and a Contingent Warrant against payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company (it being acknowledged by the Company that the payment from the Purchasers for the Units may be delayed by up to ten calendar days following the Closing Date (such date of payment, the “Payment Date”)). If at the Closing any of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.1 shall not have been fulfilled, each Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all of its obligations under this Agreement without thereby waiving any other rights it may have by reason of such failure or such non-fulfillment.
