(b) At any time and from time to time during the one hundred and twenty (120) day period immediately following the Initial Closing (the “Additional Closing Period”), the Company may sell and issue up to the balance of the authorized shares of Series A-2 Preferred to such persons in subsequent Closings as may be approved by the Company and two-thirds in interest


of the Investors and such persons shall, upon execution and delivery of the relevant signature pages, become an “Investor” under this Agreement and under the First Amended and Restated Investor’s Rights Agreement to be entered into by and among the Company and the Investors in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C (the “Rights Agreement”), and the Voting Agreement to be entered into by and among the Company’s stockholders, executive directors and officers and the Investors in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D (the “Voting Agreement”), in each case without having to obtain the signature, consent or permission of any of the previous Investors. All such sales and issuances shall be made in private placement transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

(c) The Company and any Investors purchasing Series A-2 Preferred at each subsequent Closing will execute counterpart signature pages to this Agreement, and such Investors will, upon delivery to the Company of such signature pages, become parties to, and bound by, this Agreement.

The Company will furnish to each Investor copies of the amendments to Exhibit A referred to in the preceding sentence. The Investors in each subsequent Closing will also execute and deliver, and become parties to and bound by the Rights Agreement.

 

(d) Any shares of Series A-2 Preferred sold and issued at subsequent Closing(s) shall be deemed to be “Shares” for all purposes under this Agreement, and any purchasers thereof shall be deemed to be “Investors” for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

(e) Each Closing shall be held at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C., 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California, at 2:00 p.m. local time, on each Closing Date, or at such other time and place upon which the Company and the Investors participating in such Closing shall agree.

SECTION 3

 

Representations and Warranties of the Company

 

Except as set forth in a schedule prepared by the Company and delivered to the Investors in connection with this Agreement (the “Schedule of Exceptions”), which Schedule of Exceptions may be amended and supplemented at each Closing, the Company represents and warrants to the Investors as of the date of this Agreement as follows:

 

3.1 Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized and existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under such laws. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is presently qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business as now conducted or proposed to be conducted, assets (including intangible assets), capitalization, operations, financial condition or results of operations (a “Material Adverse Effect”). Section 3.1 of the Schedule of Exceptions sets forth all subsidiaries of the Company. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is duly organized and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and, where applicable, is in good standing under such laws.

 

3.2 Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite legal and corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Rights Agreement and will have, upon the filing of the Certificate of Designation (which will take place prior to the Initial Closing), all requisite legal and corporate power to sell and issue the Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement and to carry and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and the Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Investors understands and agrees that the Company does not currently have a sufficient number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) to permit the conversion of the Shares into Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designation.

 

3.3 Capitalization.

 

(a) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 266,772,592 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. Upon filing of the Certificate of Designation, 3,000,000 shares of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock will have been designated as Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

 

-3-


(b) The Company has presently reserved 60,406,330 shares of its Common Stock for issuance to employees, consultants, or directors under the following equity incentive Plans: the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the 1997 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan, and the 1999 Stock Plan, each as amended to date (collectively, the “Stock Plans”). Options are currently outstanding under the Stock Plans to acquire 37,362,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is currently suspended, and the Company has no current plans to reinstate such plan. The Company has outstanding warrants to acquire 1,745,309 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Except as set forth in this Agreement (including the Schedule of Exceptions), no options, warrants, subscriptions, or purchase rights of any nature (including any conversion or preemptive rights) to acquire from the Company shares of its capital stock or other securities are authorized, issued, or outstanding, nor is the Company obligated under its charter documents or under any agreement by which the Company is bound to issue shares of its capital stock or other securities except as contemplated by this Agreement. Apart from the exceptions noted herein or in the Schedule of Exceptions, and except for rights of first refusal held by the Company to purchase, at the applicable original purchase price, shares of its stock issued under the Stock Plans or shares of its stock issued to employees or consultants, no shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, or issuable upon exercise or exchange of any outstanding options, warrants or rights, or other stock issuable by the Company, including the Shares, are subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase such stock (whether in favor of the Company or any other person), pursuant to any agreement or commitment of the Company. All outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in accordance with the registration or qualification provisions of the Securities Act and any relevant state securities laws, or pursuant to valid exemptions therefrom.

 

3.4 Authorization.

 

(a) All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and its stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Company, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, and the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under the Agreements has been taken, other than obtaining stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock by an amount sufficient to permit conversion of the Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designation (such approval being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval” and such amendment being referred to herein as the “Certificate of Amendment”) The Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 4

 

Representations and Warranties of the Investors

 

Each Investor severally represents and warrants to the Company with respect to the purchase of the Shares and the underlying Common Stock as follows:

 

4.1 Investment Intent. The Investor understands that the Shares, and the underlying Common Stock, have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption

 

-8-


from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto. The Investor is acquiring the Shares, and the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Shares, for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.

 

4.2 Speculative Nature of Investment. The Investor acknowledges that its investment in the Company is highly speculative and entails a substantial degree of risk and the Investor is in a position to lose the entire amount of such investment, and the Investor has full cognizance of and understands all of the risks related to such Investor’s purchase of the Shares, including, but not limited to, those risk factors set forth in the Company’s SEC Documents. The Investor understands (i) that the Company’s Common Stock is traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board and not on any established securities exchange or dealer quotation system and (ii) that a sizeable liquid market does not exist for any of the Company’s securities.

 

4.3 Access to Data. Each Investor has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information such Investor deems relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares. Each Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and also had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of the Company that were answered to such Investor’s satisfaction. Each Investor understands that such discussions, as well as any written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company’s business and prospects but were not a thorough or exhaustive description.

 

4.4 Accredited Investor and Investment Experience. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Investor has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.

 

4.5 Residency. The residency of the Investor (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on Exhibit A.

 

4.6 Restriction on Resales. Subject to the Company’s obligations under the Rights Agreement, the Investor acknowledges that the Shares, and the underlying Common Stock, must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available for any such resale or, that even if available, that such exemption will allow Investor to dispose of or otherwise transfer any or all of the Shares, or the underlying Common Stock under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times the Investor might propose.

 

4.7 Rule 144. The Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the

 

-9-


satisfaction of certain conditions, including among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sales being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Investor acknowledges and understands that notwithstanding any obligation under the Rights Agreement, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Investor wishes to sell the Shares or the underlying Common Stock, and that, in such event, the Investor may be precluded from selling such securities under Rule 144, even if the other requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. The Investor acknowledges that, in the event all of the requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Shares or the underlying Common Stock. The Investor understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.

 

4.8 Authorization.

 

(a) The Investor has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver the Agreements, to purchase the Shares hereunder and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Agreements. All action on the part of the Investor necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements, and the performance of all of the Investor’s obligations under the Agreements, has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing.

 

(b) The Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Investor, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

(c) No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any court, governmental authority or third person is required to be obtained by the Investor in connection with the execution and delivery of the Agreements or the performance of the Investor’s obligations hereunder or thereunder.

 

4.9 Brokers or Finders. The Investor has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents, and neither the Company nor any other Investor has, nor will, incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Investor, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Agreements.

 

4.10 Investor Counsel. The Investor acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Agreements, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated by the Agreements with its own legal counsel. Each Investor is relying solely on such counsel and not on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.

 

-10-


4.11 Tax Advisors. The Investor has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by the Agreements. With respect to such matters, the Investor relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Investor understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.

 

4.12 Legends. Such Investor understands and agrees that the certificates evidencing the Shares or any Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, or any other securities issued in respect of the Shares or any Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall bear the legends required by the Rights Agreement, including legends relating to restrictions on transfer under federal and state securities laws and legends required under applicable state securities laws.

 

4.13 No Prior Transactions. Such Investor has not, during the 30 day period prior to execution and delivery of this Agreement, purchased or sold, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company and has not otherwise engaged in any transaction in the Company’s securities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor has not, directly or indirectly, purchased, sold, offered to purchase or sell, contracted to purchase or sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), granted any option to purchase or sell, pledged, loaned, or otherwise acquired or disposed of any securities of the Company, or encouraged any other person to do any of the foregoing.

Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this Agreement and signed by the Company and the Investors holding two-thirds in interest of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (excluding any of such shares that have been sold to the public or pursuant to Rule 144); provided, however, that Investors purchasing shares in a Closing after the Initial Closing may become parties to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1 without any amendment of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph or any consent or approval of any other Investor. Any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any securities purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding (including securities into which such securities have been converted or exchanged or for which such securities have been exercised) and each future holder of all such securities, provided, however, that if such amendment adversely affects one or more Investors, but does not so affect all Investors, then the adversely affected Investors must agree to be bound by such amendment. Each Investor acknowledges that by the operation of this paragraph, the holders of two-thirds of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (excluding any of such shares that have been sold to the public or pursuant to Rule 144) will have the right and power to diminish or eliminate all rights of such Investor under this Agreement.

 

7.2 Notices . All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger addressed:

(c) if to the Company, one copy should be sent to its address at 77 Robin Hill Road, Santa Barbara, California 93117 or facsimile number at ###-###-#### and addressed to the attention of the President, or at such other address or facsimile number as the Company shall have furnished to the Investors; with a copy to Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation at 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California ###-###-#### and addressed to the attention to Thomas C. DeFilipps and Robert F. Kornegay.

 

Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as effective or having been given when delivered if delivered personally, or, if sent by mail, at the earlier of its receipt or 72 hours after the same has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid or, if sent by facsimile, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer. Any party may amend its address for receipt of notice by delivering written instructions to the other parties in accordance with this Section 8.2.

 

7.3 Expenses. The Company and the Investors shall each pay their own expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the reasonable, documented fees and expenses of Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP, as counsel to the Investors, in connection with this Agreement, any Closing hereunder, and the Rights Offering, such reimbursements not to exceed in the aggregate $40,000.

 

7.4 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall survive any investigation made by any party hereto and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby for six months from the date of the Initial Closing.

 

7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and any and all rights, duties and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned, transferred, delegated or sublicensed by any Investor without the prior written consent of the Company. Any attempt by an Investor without such permission to assign, transfer, delegate or sublicense any rights, duties or obligations that arise under this Agreement shall be void. Subject to the foregoing and except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

7.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Agreements and the exhibits and schedules thereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner with regard to the subjects hereof or thereof by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

 

-14-


7.7 Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party to this Agreement upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-defaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party to this Agreement, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

 

7.8 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision, and the parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, a legal and enforceable substitute provision which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

 

7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 

7.10 Telecopy Execution and Delivery. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties hereto by facsimile or similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes. At the request of any party hereto, all parties hereto agree to execute an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction hereof.

 

7.11 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. With respect to any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state courts in the County of Santa Clara in the State of California (or in the event of exclusive federal jurisdiction, the courts of the Northern District of California).

 

7.12 Waiver of Potential Conflicts of Interest. Each of the Investors and the Company acknowledges that Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation (“WSGR”) may have represented and may currently represent certain of the Investors. In the course of such representation, WSGR may have come into possession of confidential information relating to such

 

-15-


Investors. Each of the Investors and the Company acknowledges that WSGR is representing only the Company in this transaction. Each of the Investors and the Company understands that an affiliate of WSGR may also be an Investor under this Agreement or may otherwise be an equity holder of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 3-310 of the Rules of Professional Conduct promulgated by the State Bar of California, an attorney must avoid representations in which the attorney has or had a relationship with another party interested in the representation without the informed written consent of all parties affected. By executing this Agreement, each of the Investors and the Company hereby waives any actual or potential conflict of interest which may arise as a result of WSGR’s representation of such persons and entities, WSGR’s possession of such confidential information and the participation by WSGR’s affiliate in the financing. Each of the Investors and the Company represents that it has had the opportunity to consult with independent counsel concerning the giving of this waiver.
