ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties
Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser, as of the date hereof (except as set forth in the schedule of exceptions delivered by the Company to a Purchaser at a Closing in which such Purchaser participates (the Schedule of Exceptions) with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the section number herein), as follows:
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(a), the Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 2.1(c) hereof).
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the Registration Rights Agreement), the Lock-Up Agreements (as defined in Section 3.19 hereof) in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2 respectively, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined in Section 3.12), the Certificate of Designation, and the Warrants (collectively, the Transaction Documents) and to issue and sell the Shares and the Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
4
have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. The other Transaction Documents will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company at the Closing. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares thereof issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of the Merger, are set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock immediately following the closing of the Merger have been duly and validly authorized. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the Company is not a party to any agreement granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities. The Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company. The offer and sale of all capital stock, convertible securities, rights, warrants, or options of the Company issued prior to the Closing complied with all applicable Federal and state securities laws, and no stockholder has a right of rescission or claim for damages with respect thereto which would have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company has furnished or made available to the Purchasers true and correct copies of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (the Certificate), and the Companys Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the Bylaws). For the purposes of this Agreement, Material Adverse Effect means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise impair the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect; provided, however, that any adverse effect that that is caused primarily by conditions generally affecting the U.S. economy shall be deemed not to be a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Issuance of Shares. The Preferred Shares and the Warrants to be issued at the Closing have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and the Preferred Shares, when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable and entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

5

(e) No Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(e) hereto, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein and therein do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Companys Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party or by which it or its properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or impose a lien, mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) and (iv) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible violations which singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or issue and sell the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (other than (x) any consent, authorization or order that has been obtained as of the date hereof, (y) any filing or registration that has been made as of the date hereof or (z) any filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the Commission or state securities administrators subsequent to the Closing, any registration statement which may be filed pursuant hereto, and the Certificate of Designation); provided that, for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Purchasers herein.
(f) Commission Documents, Financial Statements. Except as indicated on Schedule 2.1(f), the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it since the closing of the Merger with the Commission pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), including material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the Commission Documents). The Company has delivered or made available to each of the Purchasers (through the EDGAR system or otherwise) true and complete copies of the Commission Documents. The Company has not provided to the Purchasers any material non-public information or other information which, according to applicable law, rule or regulation,
6

At the times of their respective filings, the Company has complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents, and, as of their respective dates, none of the Commission Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the Commission Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
(g) Subsidiaries. Schedule 2.1(g) hereto sets forth each subsidiary of the Company, showing the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and showing the percentage of each persons ownership. For the purposes of this Agreement, subsidiary shall mean any corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership interest having ordinary voting power (absolutely or contingently) for the election of directors or other persons performing similar functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by the Company and/or any of its other subsidiaries. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary.

7
Merger (the NovaRay Financial Statements); or (ii) those incurred in the ordinary course of the Companys or its subsidiaries respective businesses since September 30, 2007, and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or its subsidiaries.
(j) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since the closing of the Merger, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed, other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.
(k) Indebtedness. Schedule 2.1(k) hereto sets forth as of a recent date all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the Company or any subsidiary has commitments, in each case that have not previously been set forth in the Commission Documents or the NovaRay Financial Statements. For the purposes of this Agreement, Indebtedness shall mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $100,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Companys balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $25,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP.

Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(l), all leases of the Company and each of its subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or any other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any subsidiary which questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or any other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or involving the Company, any subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets. There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any subsidiary or any officers or directors of the Company or subsidiary in their capacities as such.

The business of the Companys subsidiaries, and, since the consummation of the Merger, the business of the Company, has been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except for such noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not cause a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Taxes. The Company and each of the subsidiaries has accurately prepared and filed all federal, state and other tax returns required by law to be filed by it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes shown to be due and all additional assessments, and adequate provisions have been and are reflected in the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries for all current taxes and other charges to which the Company or any subsidiary is subject and which are not currently due and payable.

Such Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or to purchase the Preferred Shares or acquire the Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Purchaser is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.
(d) Acquisition for Investment. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Shares and the Warrants in the ordinary course of its business and solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell the Preferred Shares or the Warrants in a manner that would violate the registration requirements of Federal and state securities laws, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein and subject to Section 2.2(h) below, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Shares or the Warrants for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or the Warrants at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition.

Warrants, nor will such Purchaser engage in any short sale that results in a disposition of any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants by such Purchaser, except in compliance with any applicable state and Federal securities laws. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and the subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the subsidiaries and has carefully reviewed and considered all such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct such Purchasers due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Companys stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and the Warrants were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.
(h) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (Rule 144), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.
(i) General. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
16
(j) Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the Commission by the Purchasers under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Shares purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Shares. Each Purchaser understands that nothing in the Agreement or any other materials presented to such Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Preferred Shares and Warrants.
(k) Risk of Loss; No Public Market. Each Purchaser understands that its investment in the Preferred Shares and Warrants involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of such Purchasers investment. Each Purchaser understands that there currently is no public market for the securities of the Company; that the purchase price for the Shares was established by negotiations between NovaRay and the Lead Investor; and that no representation is being made as to the future value of any of the Companys securities.

Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 3.7 Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect the liquidation preferences, dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges.
Section 3.8 Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability of the Company or any subsidiary to perform under any Transaction Document.
Section 3.9 Distributions. So long as any Preferred Shares or Underlying Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company except for (y) repurchases of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, and (z) repurchases of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to rights of first refusal contained in agreements providing for such rights.
Section 3.10 Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder shall be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes and not to redeem any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or to settle any outstanding litigation.
Section 3.11 Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.
Section 3.12 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (or Underlying Preferred Shares) or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer
19
Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.12 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.12 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.12 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.12, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
Section 3.13 Disposition of Assets. So long as any Preferred Shares and/or Underlying Preferred Shares remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except for licenses or sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares and Underlying Preferred Shares then outstanding.
Section 3.14 Reporting Status. So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Shares, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not cease filing reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.
Section 3.15 Disclosure of Transaction.

Trading Day means any day during which the OTC Bulletin Board (or other quotation venue or principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) shall be open for trading.
20
Section 3.16 Disclosure of Material Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information (other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
Section 3.17 Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock. The pledge of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchasers expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.

Stock Certificate Legend
Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Preferred Shares, the Underlying Preferred Shares and the Warrants, and, if appropriate, securities issued upon conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or blue sky laws):
THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE SECURITIES) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or blue sky laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or blue sky laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or blue sky laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer
25
contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares is then in effect), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser or such Purchasers Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company (DTC) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).
ARTICLE VI
Indemnification
Section 6.1 Indemnification of Purchasers. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.
Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an indemnified party) will give prompt written notice to the party required to provide indemnification under this Article VI (the indemnifying party) of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give prompt notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect to such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified partys costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which
26
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified partys prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
Section 6.3 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, the indemnities provided for herein shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any indemnified party for damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims related to this Agreement or arising out of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants. In addition, the Lead Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article VI to the extent that any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement also constitutes a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Company or its subsidiary, Vision Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., contained in Article 3 of the Merger Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
Section 7.1 Fees and Expenses. Irrespective of whether the Initial Closing is effected, the Company shall pay all costs and expenses that it incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

Each of the Company and the Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Preferred Shares and Underlying Preferred Shares then outstanding.

Section 7.6 Waivers. No waiver by either party of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provisions, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.

Section 7.13 Publicity. The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Purchasers without the consent of the Purchasers unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement.

Re: NovaRay Medical, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to NovaRay Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement), dated as of December 27, 2007, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the Purchasers) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares (the Preferred Shares) of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Preferred Stock) and warrants (the Warrants) to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock) and/or Preferred Stock, as applicable. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers (the Registration Rights Agreement), dated as of December 27, 2007, pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act). In connection with the Companys obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ______, 200_, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-___) (the Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities which names each of the present Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SECs staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SECs staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and accordingly, the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours, MORRISON & FOERSTER, LLP | ||||
