          5.2 Representations of Purchaser Concerning Securities. Each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees, and represents and warrants to Oculus, as of the date hereof, and on the Issuance Date, as follows:
               (a) The Shares have not been registered under the United States Securities Act, or any other applicable securities laws, and may not be offered, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to a registration statement which has been declared effective under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
               (b) Each Purchaser is either (i) an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under Regulation D promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and makes the additional representations in Exhibit A, attached hereto; or (ii) not a “U.S. Person”, and makes the additional representations in Exhibit B attached hereto.
               (c) The offer and sale of the Shares to such Purchaser has taken place outside of the United States of America, its territories and possessions (the “US”), and Purchaser has executed this Agreement outside of the US.
               (d) Such Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Shares. Such Purchaser is aware that Purchaser (or any account for which Purchaser is purchasing) may be required to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, and Purchaser (or such institutional account) is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period. Such Purchaser has relied solely on this Agreement, the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of Oculus, and independent investigations made by such Purchaser in making a decision to purchase any Shares. Purchaser reviewed the section of the Confidential Private Place Memorandum of Oculus headed “Risk Factors”, and has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. Purchaser further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Oculus regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of Oculus. If not a natural person, Purchaser represents that it has not been organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
               (e) Such Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for Purchaser’s own account, or for one or more institutional accounts for which such Purchaser is acting as a fiduciary or agent, in each case, for investment, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing, the Shares.

7


 

               (f) Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss with the management of Oculus, the business, management and financial affairs of Oculus.
               (g) Purchaser’s advisors and/or Purchaser have had an opportunity to inspect all records and books pertaining to an investment in Oculus and have had reasonable opportunities to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers of Oculus or other persons authorized by Oculus to act on its behalf concerning the offering of shares, and all questions have been answered to Purchaser’s full satisfaction and the satisfaction of Purchaser’s advisors.
               (h) Oculus will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements of such Purchaser, including any and all representations and warranties made under Exhibits A and B, and if any such acknowledgment, representation or warranty made by such Purchaser is no longer accurate, such Purchaser shall promptly notify Oculus thereof in writing. Purchaser has sole investment discretion with respect to any institutional account for which Purchaser is acquiring any Shares as a fiduciary or agent, and Purchaser has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements on behalf of each such account.
               (i) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under the United States federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction (i) not involving a public offering and (ii) subject to the conditions of Regulation D or Regulation S, as applicable, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
               (j) Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by Oculus (including the Shares), that Oculus has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Shares and that, even if such a public market exists at some future time, Oculus may not then be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
