THIS
SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of June 13, 2006, by and among
Fluidigm Corporation, a
California corporation (the “
Company”), and the purchasers listed on the
Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as
EXHIBIT A (the “
Schedule of Purchasers”). The
persons or entities listed thereon are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “
Purchasers” and
individually as a “
Purchaser.”
THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Purchase and Sale of Preferred Stock.
1.1 Authorization of the Shares. The Company will on or before the Closing
(as defined below) authorize the sale and issuance pursuant to this Agreement of up
to 5,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E
Preferred”), having the rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation attached hereto as EXHIBIT B
(the “Restated Articles”).
1.2 Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained
herein, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser, severally and not jointly,
and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, severally and not jointly, at the
Closing, the number of Shares set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name on the Schedule
of Purchasers, at a purchase price of Four Dollars ($4.00) per Share. The Company
shall be entitled to sell any unpurchased Shares to any Purchaser or to a person who
is not a Purchaser and to amend the Schedule of Purchasers to include the information
relating to such sales, and such purchasers shall be considered “Purchasers” and
parties to this Agreement; provided that (i) such sales are made pursuant to this
Agreement or an agreement identical to this one except for the Closing Date and
exhibits, and (ii) such sales are completed within 120 days of the Initial Closing
(as defined below). The Company’s agreement with each Purchaser is a separate
agreement, and the sale of the Shares to each Purchaser is a separate sale.
1.3 Closing Date. The first closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares
hereunder (the “Initial Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 on June 13, 2006
(the “Closing Date”) or such other date as the Company and a majority-in-interest of
the Purchasers may agree. Subject to Section 1.2 above, subsequent closings under
this Agreement may be held from time to time after the Initial Closing at such time
and place as the Company and the relevant Purchasers agree (“Subsequent Closings”).
For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Closing” and “Closing Date” unless
otherwise indicated, refers to the closing or date of closing
of the purchase and sale of the Shares with respect to a particular Purchaser or
group of Purchasers, whether such closing occurs at the Initial Closing or at a
Subsequent Closing.
1.4 Delivery. At Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a
certificate, in such denomination and registered in Purchaser’s name as set forth on
the Schedule of Purchasers, representing the number of Shares which Purchaser is
purchasing from the Company
against delivery to the Company of a check or wire
transfer payable to the order of the Company in the amount of the purchase price of
the Shares to be purchased by such Purchaser.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents
and warrants to Purchaser that, except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions attached
hereto as EXHIBIT C (the “Schedule of Exceptions”), which has been delivered to each
Purchaser prior to Purchaser’s execution hereof, each of the representations, warranties and
statements contained in this Section 2 is true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and
will be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date. For all purposes of this Agreement,
the statements contained in the Schedule of Exceptions shall also be deemed to be
representations and warranties made and given by Company under this Agreement.
2.1
Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a

2.2 Corporate Power. The Company will have at the Closing all requisite
legal and corporate power and authority to (i) execute and deliver this Agreement;

its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
2.3 Subsidiaries. The Company does not presently own or control, directly or
indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, association, or other business
entity.
2.4 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists, or

Stock (“Common Stock”), of which 9,274,356 shares are issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Initial Closing and 51,687,948 shares of Preferred Stock
(“Preferred Stock”), 2,727,273 of which are designated Series A Preferred Stock of

and outstanding shares have been duly authorized and validly issued in compliance
with applicable laws, and are fully paid and nonassessable.

pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which options to purchase 5,597,763
shares are granted and outstanding and 1,554,643 shares are available for future grant. Other than
with respect to the shares reserved for issuance in the preceding sentence, or as set forth in the
Ancillary Agreements (as defined below), there are no outstanding rights, options, warrants,
conversion rights, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights for the purchase or
acquisition from the Company of any securities of the Company. There are no outstanding
obligations of the Company to repurchase or redeem any of its securities.
Except as contemplated in the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below), the Company has
not granted or agreed to grant any registration rights, including piggyback rights, to any person
or entity. Except as contemplated in the Second Amended and Restated Voting Agreement dated as of
August 16, 2005, the Company is not a party or subject to any agreement or understanding, and to
the Company’s knowledge, there is no agreement or understanding between any person or entities,
which relates to the voting or the giving of written consents with respect to any security of the
Company or by a director of the Company.
2.5 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its
officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and

in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D (the “Investor Rights Agreement”),
the performance of all obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the
Investor Rights Agreement (other than those registration obligations contained in
Section 1 of the Investor Rights Agreement), and any other agreements to which the
Company is a party, the execution and delivery of which is a contemplated hereby (the
“Ancillary
Agreements”) and the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance), sale and
delivery of the Shares and the Conversion Shares has been taken or will be taken
prior to the Closing. This Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement constitute
valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their respective terms, subject to: (i) judicial principles
limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, and other
equitable remedies; (ii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect generally relating to or affecting creditors’
rights; and (iii) limitations on the enforceability of the indemnification provisions
of the Investor Rights Agreement.

-3-
terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed herein,

transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement
and under applicable state and federal securities laws. The Conversion Shares have been duly and
validly reserved for issuance, and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Restated
Articles, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and will be free of
restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and the Investor
Rights Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws. The Conversion Shares may
be issued without any registration or qualification under state and federal securities laws as such
laws are currently in effect.
2.7
Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of,
or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal,
state or local governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in
connection with the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares or the Conversion Shares or
the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby, except for (a) the
filing of the Restated Articles with the Secretary of State of the State of
California prior to the Closing and (b) filings required pursuant to applicable
federal and state securities laws and blue sky laws, which filings, the Company
covenants to complete within the required statutory period.
2.8 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company
before any court, administrative agency or other governmental body which questions
the validity of this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement or the right of the
Company to enter into any of them, or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or which could result, either individually or in the aggregate, in
any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), business,
property, assets or liabilities of the Company, nor is the Company aware that there
is any basis for the foregoing. The Company is not a party or subject to, and none
of its assets is bound
by, the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or
government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation by or involving the Company currently pending or that the Company
intends to initiate.
2.9 Employees. Each employee of the Company has executed a proprietary
information and invention assignment agreement substantially in the form or forms
made available to the Purchasers. To the Company’s knowledge, no officer or key
employee is in violation of any prior employee contract or proprietary information
agreement. No employees of the Company are represented by any labor union or covered
by any collective bargaining agreement. There is no pending or, to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened labor dispute involving the Company and any group of its
employees. The Company is not aware that any officer or key employee intends to
terminate his or her employment with the Company within the six months after Closing.
The Company does not have a present intention to terminate the employment of any
officer or key employee. Each officer and key employee is devoting 100% of his or
her business time to the conduct of the business of the Company. The Company is not
aware that any officer or key employee intends to work less than full time during the
six months after Closing. Subject to general
-4-
principles related to wrongful
termination of employees, the employment of each officer and employee of the Company
is terminable at will.
2.10 Patents and Other Intangible Assets.
(a) The Company owns, or is licensed or otherwise has the legally enforceable right to use,
all copyrights, domain names, maskworks, applications for the issuance or registration of any of
the foregoing, trade secrets, confidential or proprietary know-how, data and information, ideas,
inventions, designs, developments, algorithms, processes, schematics, techniques, computer
programs, applications and other software, works of authorship, creative effort and, to the
Company’s knowledge after such investigation as the Company deemed reasonable, patents, patent
applications, trademarks (including service marks and design marks) and applications therefor,
tradenames (all of the foregoing generically, “Intellectual Property Rights”) utilized in, or
necessary for, its business as now conducted (collectively, the “Company Intellectual Property”)
without infringing upon the right of any person, corporation or other entity.
(b) Section 2.10 of the Schedule of Exceptions lists (i) all patents and patent applications
and all registered and unregistered trademarks, trade names, copyrights and maskworks and
registered domain names included in the Company Intellectual Property, including the jurisdictions
in which each such intellectual property right has been issued or registered or in which any
application for such issuance or registration has been filed, (ii) all licenses, sublicenses,
collaborations and other agreements (or options for any of the foregoing) to which the Company is a
party and pursuant to which any person, corporation or other entity is authorized to use any of the
Company Intellectual Property, and (iii) all licenses, sublicenses, collaborations and other
agreements (or options for any of the foregoing) to which the Company is a party and pursuant
to which the Company is authorized to use any Intellectual Property Right of any third party (other
than standard licenses for commercially available software). Each of the agreements in (ii) and
(iii) above remain in full force and effect and, to the Company’s knowledge, no party to any such
agreement is in material breach or default under such agreement, and the Company is not aware of
any act or failure to act by a party which would constitute a material breach or default under any
such agreement, give rise to a right of the licensor to terminate any such agreement or otherwise
result in termination of, or suspension or loss of exclusive rights under, any such agreement.
(c) To the Company’s knowledge, the Company has not infringed or misappropriated any
Intellectual Property Right of any other person, corporation or other entity. The Company has not
received any communication or otherwise received any information alleging any such conduct by the
Company or asserting a claim by any third party to the ownership of, or right to use, any of the
Company Intellectual Property, and the Company does not know of any basis for any such claim. The
Company is not aware of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or currently
threatened against the Company (or any third party owner or licensor of rights to the Company of
any of the Company Intellectual Property) which would have a material impact on the Company’s
ownership of or exclusive or co-exclusive rights to use, the Company Intellectual Property.
-5-
(d) The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any agreement, or
subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would
materially interfere with his or her ability to fully and freely perform their duties to the
Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business. To the Company’s knowledge, neither
the filing of the Restated Articles nor the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
Investor Rights Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the
Company, will conflict with or result in a material breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions
of, or constitute a default under, any agreement under which any such employee is now obligated.
The Company does not utilize, and will not be required to utilize, any invention, development or
work of authorship of any of its employees (or persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to
their employment by the Company.
(e) Except as described in Schedule 2.10, (i) the Company is not obligated, or under any
liability whatsoever to make any payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise, to any owner or
licensor of, or other claimant to, any Company Intellectual Property, and (ii) the Company is not a
party to any agreement concerning the Company Intellectual Property or any other Intellectual
Property Right used or to be used by the Company in its business as conducted. No founder,
director, officer or employee of the Company, or, to the Company’s knowledge, no shareholder of the
Company has any interest in the Company Intellectual Property.
(f) Except with respect to any rights granted under the agreements described in Schedule 2.10,
the Company owns exclusively all rights arising from or associated with the research and
development efforts of the Company, its founders, employees and independent contractors relating to
the Company’s business as now conducted, and all such rights form part of
the Company Intellectual Property. The Company has secured valid written assignments from all

whether to invest in the Company. Neither this Agreement with the Exhibits hereto,
nor any other statements, certificates or documents made or delivered in connection
herewith or therewith, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. The financial

Shares, for investment for such Purchaser’s own account and not with the view to, or

warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the

3.10 Tax Advisors. Purchaser has reviewed with Purchaser’s own tax advisors
the federal, state and local tax consequences of this investment, where applicable,
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser is relying
solely on
such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of
its agents and understands that each Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be
responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.11 Purchaser Counsel. Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the
opportunity to review this Agreement, the exhibits and the schedules attached hereto
and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with Purchaser’s own legal
counsel. Each Purchaser is relying

Amendment”) to that certain

Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2006 (the “
Purchase Agreement”), is made and entered into effective
as of December 22, 2006 (the “

Company”), and the Purchasers named therein. Capitalized terms used in this
Amendment that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them
in the Purchase Agreement.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company previously sold and issued an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of Series E
Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series E Preferred”) pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement at the Initial Closing held on June 13, 2006;
WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchaser now desire to amend the terms of the Purchase Agreement
to provide that the Company may sell and issue additional shares of Series E Preferred pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, at one or more additional Subsequent Closings, provided that any such
additional Subsequent Closings shall take place no later than March 31, 2007.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Purchase Agreement, the terms of the Purchase
Agreement may be amended upon the written consent of the Company and the holder or holders of
greater than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Shares or the Conversion Shares; and
WHEREAS, the Purchaser who has signed below holds greater than fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding Shares purchased under the Purchase Agreement as of the Effective Date and consents to
the changes as set forth in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
mutually agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Amendment to Section 1.1. Section 1.1 (Authorization of the Shares) of the
Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“1.1 Authorization of the Shares. The Company will on or
before the Closing (as defined below) authorize the sale and issuance
pursuant to this Agreement of up to 6,318,333 shares (the “Shares”) of its
- 1 -
Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred”), having the rights,
preferences and privileges as set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles
of Incorporation attached hereto as EXHIBIT B (the “Restated
Articles”).”
2. Amendment to Section 1.2. Section 1.2 (Purchase and Sale of the Shares) of the
Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“1.2 Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and
agreements contained herein, the Company will issue and sell to each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly, and each Purchaser will purchase from
the Company, severally and not jointly, at the Closing, the number of Shares
set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers, at a
purchase price of Four Dollars ($4.00) per Share. The Company shall be
entitled to sell any unpurchased Shares to any Purchaser or to a person who
is not a Purchaser and to amend the Schedule of Purchasers to include the
information relating to such sales, and such purchasers shall be considered
“Purchasers” and parties to this Agreement; provided that (i) such sales are
made pursuant to this Agreement or an agreement identical to this one except
for the Closing Date and exhibits, and (ii) such sales are completed on or
prior to March 31, 2007. The Company’s agreement with each Purchaser is a
separate agreement, and the sale of the Shares to each Purchaser is a
separate sale.”
3. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of California, without regard to any provisions thereof relating to conflicts of laws among
different jurisdictions.
4. Purchase Agreement. Wherever necessary, all other terms of the Purchase Agreement
are hereby amended to be consistent with the terms of this Amendment. Except as specifically set
forth herein, the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
5. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. Executed signatures transmitted via facsimile will be accepted and considered duly
executed.
6. Effect of Execution of Amendment by Certain Purchaser. This Amendment, when
executed and delivered by the Company and a Purchaser purchasing shares of Series E Preferred at a
Subsequent Closing held on or after the date hereof, shall also constitute and shall be deemed a
counterpart signature page to the Purchase Agreement. Consequently, each undersigned Purchaser
purchasing shares of Series E Preferred at a Subsequent Closing held on or after the date hereof
acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it is bound by the terms and
- 2 -
conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, with respect to
the purchase of such shares.

WHEREAS, on July 18, 2007, Fluidigm California was merged with and into the Company, with the
Company being the surviving corporation such that the Company succeeded to all of Fluidigm
California’s rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement and all outstanding shares of

Series E Preferred of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers now desire to amend the terms of the Purchase

Series E Preferred (the “Additional Shares”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at one or more
additional Subsequent Closings, provided that any such additional Subsequent Closings shall take
place no later than December 31, 2007.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Purchase Agreement, the terms of the Purchase
Agreement may be amended upon the written consent of the Company and the holder or holders of
greater than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Shares or the Conversion Shares;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
mutually agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Amendment to Section 1.1. Section 1.1 (Authorization of the Shares) of the

the Company, severally and not jointly, at the applicable Closing, the
number of Shares set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of

Company shall be entitled to sell any unpurchased Shares to any Purchaser or

completed on or prior to December 31, 2007. The Company’s agreement with
each Purchaser is a separate agreement, and the sale of the Shares to each

of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to add the following sentence to the end of the

amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“The authorized capital stock of the Company consists, or immediately

Company’s Common Stock. Other than with respect to the shares reserved for
issuance in this paragraph, or as set forth in the Ancillary Agreements (as
defined below), there are no outstanding rights, options, warrants,
conversion rights, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar
rights for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any securities of
the Company. There are no outstanding obligations of the Company to
repurchase or redeem any of its securities.”
5. Amendment to Section 2.16. Solely in connection with the sale of Additional Shares
pursuant to this Amendment, Section 2.16 (Financial Statements) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“The Company has made available to each Purchaser its audited balance
sheet dated as of December 31, 2004. The Company has also made available to
each Purchaser unaudited balance sheets dated December 31, 2005 and December
31, 2006 and the unaudited statements of operations for the fiscal years
then ended (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial
Statements are complete and correct in all material respects and have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated. The Financial
Statements accurately set out and describe the financial condition and
operating results of the Company as of the date, and during the periods,
indicated therein. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, the
Company has no material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i)
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to
December 31, 2006 and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments
incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally
accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Financial Statements,
which, in both cases, individually or in the aggregate are not material to
the financial condition or operating results of the Company.”
6. Deletion of Sections 6.9 and 6.11. Solely in connection with the sale of
Additional Shares pursuant to this Amendment, the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to delete
Section 6.9 (Finder’s Fee) and Section 6.11 (Waiver of Conflict), each in its entirety.
-4-
7. Amendment to Section 6.10. Solely in connection with the sale of Additional Shares
pursuant to this Amendment, Section 6.10 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety to read as follows:
“6.10 Expenses. The Company and each Purchaser shall bear its
own expenses and legal fees incurred on its behalf with respect to this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however, that
if a Closing is effected, the Company shall reimburse the reasonable
documented fees of one counsel for the Purchasers, such amount not to exceed
$25,000, by wire transfer at such Closing.”
8. Addition of Section 6.17. The Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to add the
following Section 6.17 which reads in its entirety as follows:
“6.17 Reincorporation. Each Purchaser hereunder acknowledges
that the Company completed a reincorporation into the State of Delaware on
July 18, 2007 and each Purchaser hereby consents to the assignment of this
Agreement to Fluidigm Corporation, a Delaware corporation effective as of
July 18, 2007.”
9. Restated Certificate. All references in the Purchase Agreement to the term
“Restated Articles” are hereby deleted and replaced with the term “Restated Certificate.”
10. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed in all respects by the laws of
the State of California, without regard to any provisions thereof relating to conflicts of laws
among different jurisdictions.
11. Purchase Agreement. Wherever necessary, all other terms of the Purchase Agreement
are hereby amended to be consistent with the terms of this Amendment. Except as specifically set
forth herein, the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
12. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. Executed signatures transmitted via facsimile will be accepted and considered duly
executed.
13. Effect of Execution of Amendment by Certain Purchasers. This Amendment, when
executed and delivered by the Company and a Purchaser purchasing shares of Series E Preferred at a
Subsequent Closing held on or after the date hereof, shall also constitute and shall be deemed a
counterpart signature page to the Purchase Agreement. Consequently, each undersigned Purchaser
purchasing shares of Series E Preferred at a Subsequent Closing held on or after the date hereof
acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it is bound by the terms and conditions contained in the
Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, with respect to the purchase of such shares.

set forth in the Ancillary Agreements (as defined below), there are no
outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, preemptive rights,
rights of first refusal or similar rights for the purchase or acquisition
from the Company of any securities of the Company. There are no outstanding
obligations of the Company to repurchase or redeem any of its securities.”
3. Amendment to Section 2.16. Solely in connection with the sale of Additional Shares
pursuant to this Amendment, Section 2.16 (Financial Statements) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“The Company has made available to each Purchaser its audited balance
sheet dated as of December 31, 2004. The Company has also made available to
each Purchaser unaudited balance sheets dated December 31, 2005 and December
31, 2006 and the unaudited statements of operations for the fiscal years
then ended (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial
Statements are complete and correct in all material respects and have been
prepared in accordance with generally
- 3 -
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout
the periods indicated. The Financial Statements accurately set out and
describe the financial condition and operating results of the Company as of
the date, and during the periods, indicated therein. Except as set forth in
the Financial Statements, the Company has no material liabilities,
contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business subsequent to December 31, 2006 and (ii) obligations
under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business
and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be
reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or
in the aggregate are not material to the financial condition or operating
results of the Company.”
4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of California, without regard to any provisions thereof relating to conflicts of laws among
different jurisdictions.
5. Purchase Agreement. Wherever necessary, all other terms of the Purchase Agreement
are hereby amended to be consistent with the terms of this Amendment. Except as specifically set
forth herein, the Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
6. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. Executed signatures transmitted via facsimile will be accepted and considered duly
executed.
7. Effect of Execution of Amendment by Certain Purchasers. This Amendment, when
executed and delivered by the Company and a Purchaser purchasing shares of Series E Preferred at a
Subsequent Closing held on or after the date hereof, shall also constitute and shall be deemed a
counterpart signature page to the Purchase Agreement. Consequently, each undersigned Purchaser
purchasing shares of Series E Preferred at a Subsequent Closing held on or after the date hereof
acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it is bound by the terms and conditions contained in the
Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, with respect to the purchase of such shares.

3(b).

specified in this Section 3(d), then the entire remaining assets of the Corporation legally
available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata

3(c) and 3(d) above, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive,
prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the remaining assets of the Corporation to
the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share for
each share of
-5-
Series A Preferred Stock held by them equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Preference for
such shares and (ii) all declared and unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock.
If the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts
specified in this Section 3(e), then the entire remaining assets of the Corporation legally
available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata
among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would
otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3(e).
(f) Remaining Assets. After the payment to the holders of Preferred Stock of the full
amounts specified in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e) above, the entire remaining assets of
the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata to
holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation in proportion to the number of shares of Common
Stock held by them.
(g) Shares Not Treated as Both Preferred Stock and Common Stock in Any Distribution.
Shares of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to be converted into shares of Common Stock in
order to participate in any distribution, or series of distributions, as shares of Common Stock,
without first foregoing participation in the distribution, or series of distributions, as shares of
Preferred Stock.
(h) Reorganization. For purposes of this Section 3, a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) the
acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related
transactions (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or
consolidation but excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the
domicile of the Corporation) other than a transaction or series of transactions in which the
holders of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such
transaction or series of transactions continue to retain (either by such voting securities
remaining outstanding or by such voting securities being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity), as a result of shares in the Corporation held by such holders prior to such
transaction, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such
transaction or series of transactions; or (ii) a sale, transfer, lease or other conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.
(i) Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Corporation distributed
to shareholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation
are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors, except that any securities to be distributed to
shareholders in a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation shall be valued as
follows:
(i) If the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock
Market System (or a similar national quotation system), then the value of the securities shall be
deemed to be to the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over
the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the distribution;
-6-
(ii) if the securities are actively traded over-the-counter, then the value of the securities
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the securities over the ten (10)
trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the distribution; or
(iii) if there is no active public market for the securities, then the value of the securities
shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors which determination shall include consideration of the illiquidity of the securities.
In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the Corporation by another entity, the
distribution date shall be deemed to the date such transaction closes.
For the purposes of this Section 3(i), “trading day” shall mean any day on which the exchange
or system on which the securities to be distributed are traded is open, and “closing prices” or
“closing bid prices” shall be deemed to be: (i) for securities traded primarily on the New York
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, the last reported trade price or sale price,
as the case may be, at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on that day and (ii) for securities listed or
traded on other exchanges, markets and systems, the market price as of the end of the “regular
hours” trading period that is generally accepted as such for such exchange, market or system. If,
after the date hereof, the benchmark times generally accepted in the securities industry for
determining the market price of a stock as of a given trading day shall change from those set forth
above, the fair market value shall be determined as of such other generally accepted benchmark
times.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as
follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Subject to Section 4(c), each share of Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such
share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into that
number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Original
Issue Price for the relevant series by the Conversion Price for such series. (The number of shares
of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock of a series may be converted is
hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Rate” for each such series.) Upon any decrease or
increase in the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock, as described in this Section 4,
the Conversion Rate for such series shall be appropriately increased or decreased.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be
converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion
Rate for such share (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten initial
public offering on Form S-1 (or successor form) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), covering the offer and sale of the Corporation’s Common Stock, provided
that the offering price per share is not less than $5.69 (as adjusted for subdivisions and
combinations of the Common Stock and changes in the Common Stock as set forth in Sections 4(e) and
4(g)) and the aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation are not less than $25,000,000, or (ii)
upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written consent or request for such conversion from the
holders of two-thirds of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding, or, if later, the
effective date for
-7-
conversion specified in such requests (each of the events referred to in (i) and (ii) being
hereinafter referred to as an “Automatic Conversion Event”).
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would
otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then
fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors. For such
purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock shall be aggregated,
and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. Before any holder of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, and to
receive certificates therefor, he shall either surrender the certificate or certificates therefor,
duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock,
or notify the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificate or certificates have been
lost, stolen or destroyed and execute an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the
Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificate or certificates, and
shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same;
provided, however, that on the date of an Automatic Conversion Event, the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action
by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are
surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided further, however, that the
Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such Automatic Conversion Event unless either the certificates evidencing such shares
of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the
holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen
or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation
from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. On the date of the occurrence
of an Automatic Conversion Event, each holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion,
notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock shall not have
been surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that notice from the Corporation shall not have
been received by any holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock, or that the certificates
evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or after such agreement and
indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid
and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a
conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the
converted Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to
the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be
converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of
Common Stock on such date; provided, however, that if the conversion is in
connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act the
conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be
conditioned upon the closing of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event
the person(s) entitled to receive the
-8-
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have
converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of the sale of such
securities.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Special Definition. For purposes of this Section 4(d), “Additional Shares of
Common” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii), deemed to
be issued) by the Corporation after the filing of these Articles of Incorporation, other than:
(1) [omitted];
(2) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to officers, directors and employees of, or
consultants and other service providers to, the Corporation pursuant to stock grants, option plans,
purchase plans or other employee stock incentive programs or arrangements approved by the Board of
Directors or upon exercise of options or warrants granted to such parties pursuant to any such
plan, program or arrangement;
(3) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of Options or Convertible
Securities outstanding as of the date of the filing of these Articles of Incorporation;
(4) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock
or pursuant to any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to Section 4(e), 4(f) or 4(g)
hereof;
(5) shares of Common Stock issued in a registered public offering under the Securities Act
pursuant to which all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are automatically converted into Common
Stock pursuant to an Automatic Conversion Event;
(6) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the acquisition of another
corporation by the Corporation by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other
reorganization or to a joint venture agreement, provided, that such issuances are unanimously
approved by the Board of Directors;
(7) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors or other financial
institutions pursuant to a commercial leasing or debt financing transaction approved by the Board
of Directors;
(8) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with sponsored research,
collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other similar agreements, or
strategic partnerships or relationships, if the issuance is approved by the Board of Directors; and
(9) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of up to $18 million in
aggregate principal amount (plus interest) of convertible promissory notes originally issued or
issuable to Biomedical Sciences Investment Fund Pte Ltd. or its affiliates (“BMSIF”) and upon
conversion of up to $3 million in aggregate principal amount (plus interest) of convertible
promissory notes originally issued or issuable to Invus, L.P. or its affiliates, provided
-9-
that with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of
convertible promissory notes issued or issuable to BMSIF after the filing of these Articles of
Incorporation with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $3.0 million, such shares of Common
Stock shall only be excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of Common pursuant to this
section if and to the extent the applicable conversion price for such shares equals or exceeds
$3.60 (as adjusted for stock splits, subdivisions, combinations or stock dividends).
(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price of a
particular series of Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares
of Common unless the consideration per share (as determined pursuant to Section 4(d)(vii)) for an
Additional Share of Common issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the
Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to such issue, for such series of
Preferred Stock.
(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common. In the event the Corporation at
any time or from time to time after the date of the filing of these Articles of Incorporation shall
issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of
holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities,
then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard
to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible
Securities, the exercise of such Options and the conversion or exchange of the underlying
securities, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a
record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that
in any such case in which shares are deemed to be issued:
(1) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be made upon
the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock in connection with the
exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities pursuant to the
terms of such Options or Convertible Securities;
(2) if no adjustment in the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock was made upon the original
issue of (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect to) such Options or Convertible
Securities and such Options or Convertible Securities are revised to provide, or by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration
payable to the Corporation, or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, then such Options or Convertible
Securities as so revised (and the Additional Shares of Common subject thereto) shall be deemed to
have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective;
(3) if such Options or Convertible Securities are revised to provide, or by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration
payable to the Corporation, or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price of the Preferred
Stock computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with
respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon,
-10-
shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such
increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange
under such Convertible Securities;
(4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the
Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion
Price of the Preferred Stock on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Conversion Price of the
Preferred Stock that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common between
the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;
(5) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such
Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the
original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
(A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional
Shares of Common issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise
of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration
received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of such
exercised Options plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise or
for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus
the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or
exchange, and
(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if
any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options,
and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common deemed to
have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of
such exercised Options, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation
(determined pursuant to Section 4(d)(vii)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with
respect to which such Options were actually exercised; and
(6) if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are
not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which
became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record
date, and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(d)(iii) as
of the actual date of their issuance.
(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price of Series E Preferred Stock Upon Issuance of
Additional Shares of Common.
(1) For so long as the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock is greater than $2.58
(as adjusted for subdivisions and combinations of the Common Stock and changes in the Common Stock
as set forth in Sections 4(e) and 4(g)) (the “Series D/E Ratchet Amount”), in the event this
Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common (including Additional Shares of Common deemed
to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) for a consideration
-11-
per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock in effect
on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, but for a consideration per share equal to or
greater than the Series D/E Ratchet Amount, then the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred
Stock shall be reduced concurrently with such issue to a price (calculated to the nearest cent)
equal to the per share price of the Additional Shares of Common.
(2) In the event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common (including
Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series D/E Ratchet Amount, then the
Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock immediately prior to such issue shall be deemed to
be equal to the Series D/E Ratchet Amount (the “Series E Adjusted Conversion Price”), and such
Series E Adjusted Conversion Price shall be further reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a
price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Series E Adjusted Conversion
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of
Common so issued would purchase at such Adjusted Conversion Price, and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the
number of such Additional Shares of Common so issued. For the purposes of this Section
4(d)(iv)(2), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options or the
conversion of outstanding Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock, and all Additional
Shares of Common deemed issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) hereof, shall be deemed to be
outstanding. Section 4(d)(iv)(3) shall govern adjustments to the Conversion Price of the Series E
Preferred Stock after the first adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 4(d)(iv)(2).
(3) After any adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to
Section 4(d)(iv)(2), in the event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common
(including Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred
Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, the Conversion Price of
the Series E Preferred Stock shall be reduced concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated
to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the
Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued would purchase at such
Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common so
issued. For the purposes of this Section 4(d)(iv)(3), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of outstanding Options or the conversion of outstanding Convertible Securities and shares
of Preferred Stock, and all Additional Shares of Common deemed issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)
hereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding.
-12-
(v) Adjustment of Conversion Price of Series D Preferred Stock Upon Issuance of Additional
Shares of Common.
(1) For so long as the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock is greater than the
Series D/E Ratchet Amount, in the event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common
(including Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) for a
consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock
in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, but for a consideration per share
equal to or greater than the Series D/E Ratchet Amount, then the Conversion Price of the Series D
Preferred Stock shall be reduced concurrently with such issue to a price (calculated to the nearest
cent) equal to the per share price of the Additional Shares of Common.
(2) In the event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common (including
Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series D/E Ratchet Amount, then the
Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to such issue shall be deemed to
be equal to the Series D/E Ratchet Amount (the “Series D Adjusted Conversion Price”), and such
Series D Adjusted Conversion Price shall be further reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a
price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Series D Adjusted Conversion
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of
Common so issued would purchase at such Series D Adjusted Conversion Price, and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common so issued. For the purposes of this Section
4(d)(v)(2), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options or the
conversion of outstanding Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock, and all Additional
Shares of Common deemed issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) hereof, shall be deemed to be
outstanding. Section 4(d)(v)(3) shall govern adjustments to the Conversion Price of the Series D
Preferred Stock after the first adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 4(d)(v)(2).
(3) After any adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to
Section 4(d)(v)(2), in the event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common
(including Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred
Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, the Conversion Price of
the Series D Preferred Stock shall be reduced concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated
to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue
plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the
Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued would purchase at such
Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common so
issued. For the purposes of this Section 4(d)(v)(3), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of outstanding Options or the conversion of outstanding Convertible
-13-
Securities and shares of Preferred Stock, and all Additional Shares of Common deemed issued
pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) hereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(vi) Adjustment of Conversion Price of Series A, B and C Preferred Stock. In the
event this Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common (including Additional Shares of
Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior
to such issue, then, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock
or Series C Preferred Stock (if affected) shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a
price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so
issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such
Additional Shares of Common so issued. For the purposes of this Section 4(d)(vi), all shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options or the conversion of outstanding
Convertible Securities and shares of Preferred Stock, and all Additional Shares of Common deemed
issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) hereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(vii) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4(d), the
consideration received by the Corporation for the issue (or deemed issue) of any Additional Shares
of Common shall be computed as follows:
(1) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:
(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by
the Corporation before deducting reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid
or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with such issue (or
deemed issue);
(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value
thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and
(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common are issued together with other shares or
securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the
proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as
reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(2) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the
Corporation for Additional Shares of Common deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section
4(d)(iii) shall be determined by dividing
(X) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for
the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating
-14-
thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the
exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities by
(Y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating
thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(e) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock
dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of
each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately
increased.
(f) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Preferred Stock. In the event the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock
split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Preferred
Stock, the Dividend Rate, Original Issue Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of
Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or
otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Preferred Stock, the Dividend Rate, Original Issue
Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately
prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be
proportionately increased.
(g) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. Subject to Section 3
above (“Liquidation Rights”), if the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock
shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of
stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision
or combination of shares provided for above), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of
shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, each holder
of such Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Preferred Stock
into a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock which a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock immediately
before that change would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization or reclassification,
all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.
(h) No Impairment. The Corporation will not through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek
-15-
to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against
impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4(h) shall prohibit the
Corporation from amending its Articles of Incorporation with the requisite consent of its
shareholders and the board of directors.
(i) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense
shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and
furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock,
furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such
adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number
of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be
received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(j) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this Corporation shall propose at any
time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property,
stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of
earnings or earned surplus;

for such dividend or distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to

reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely

for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number
of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of
all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then
outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may,
in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(l) Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be
waived by the consent or vote of the holders of more than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares

The Company and Biomedical Sciences Investment Fund Pte Ltd. (“BMSIF”) are parties to a
Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 18, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to
Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2004 and as further amended by a letter
agreement dated June 30, 2005 (collectively, the “CNPA”). Pursuant to the CNPA, the Company
issued a Convertible Promissory Note, as amended by Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note dated
December 17, 2004, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Convertible Promissory Note dated
June 30, 2005 (collectively, the “Note”) to BMSIF in exchange for $2,000,000. In December 2005,
upon the successful completion of certain specified milestones by the Company, the principal amount
of and the accrued interest under the Note were converted into 832,635 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock at a conversion price per share of $2.80.
In addition, as a result of the Company’s achieving of such specified milestones, the Company
has required BMSIF to purchase an additional convertible promissory note (the “Supplemental Note”)
in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 on June 20, 2006.
The principal amount of and interest on the Supplemental Note was convertible into shares of
Series D Preferred Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $2.80 per share (subject to
adjustment) upon the earlier of an initial public offering in connection with which the Company’s
Preferred Stock has converted into Common Stock or the satisfaction of certain specified

In March 2003, the Company entered into (i) a Master Closing Agreement (the “Master Closing
Agreement”) with Oculus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Oculus”) and the University of Alabama Research
Foundation (“UABRF”); (ii) a License Agreement with UABRF; and (iii) a Sponsored Research Agreement
with UABRF. The Company is obligated to issue up to $2,100,000 of additional shares of its stock
to UABRF in connection with the satisfaction of certain milestones. If the Company is a private
Company at the time a milestone is achieved, upon achievement of a milestone, the Company is to
issue shares of the series of Preferred Stock that was issued in the Company’s most recent
financing and the shares are to be valued at the price the shares were sold in such financing. If
the Company is a public company at the time a milestone is achieved, upon achievement of a
milestone, the Company is to issue shares of Common stock valued at the average closing price of
the Company’s Common Stock over the five trading days preceding the achievement of the milestone.
In February 2005, UABRF sent a letter to the Company requesting issuance of the shares in relation
to the milestones. The Company replied in writing that the milestones had not been satisfied and
that it had no obligation to issue the shares at that time. The Company achieved a milestone in
2006 and as a result issued $600,000 worth of shares of its Series D Preferred Stock to UABRF and
other designated parties. Following the satisfaction of the milestone, the parties have been
negotiating the Company’s continuing obligations, if any, under the agreements identified above,
which may include an obligation on the part of the Company to issue additional shares of its stock
to UABRF.
The Company is party to an offer letter with Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxx, the Company’s Chief Financial
Officer, which provides that in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the offer letter)
50% of the shares subject to the option granted to Xx. XxXxxxxx in connection with his acceptance
of
employment with the Company that are unvested at the time of such Change of Control shall
become immediately vested.
The Company has approved an issuance of 6,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Stanford
University. Such issuance has not been completed.
See Section 2.10(f) regarding Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Quake.

The Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any consent, approval, order
or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with any
foreign governmental entity and has assumed for purposes of the Agreement that none of the
foregoing is required.
2.8 Litigation
See Section 2.10(a).
The Company has received a letter from a supplier of certain materials used in the Company’s
Topaz and certain other products requesting that the Company cease and desist using a lid with the
materials or obtain a license from the supplier for using the design of the lid. Upon
investigation, the Company determined that it had developed the lid design independently from the
supplier and also began developing alternates to the materials, which are currently approved for
manufacturing. The Company wrote a letter explaining these opinions to the supplier and the
parties have been in negotiations regarding this matter resulting in the supplier providing a
proposed settlement agreement with a $55,000 buy-out option for the Company and the Company replied
with a revised draft settlement agreement. The Company is currently waiting for the supplier to
comment on the revised draft settlement agreement.
2.9 Employees
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, the Company’s general counsel, is currently working for the Company and also
remains a partner at Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx and Crew LLP. Xx. Xxxxx serves on the Board of
Directors of two private companies, Theracos Corporation and Arbor Vita Corporation.
Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxx, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, currently works four days a week and
it is anticipated that Xx. XxXxxxxx’x service will decrease and his employment with the Company
will terminate. Xx. XxXxxxxx and the Company do not have a schedule for the eventual termination
of Xx. XxXxxxxx’x employment.
2.10 Patents and Other Intangible Assets
2.10(a)
The Company has rights to the patents, trademarks and applications listed on Schedule
2.10 attached hereto, although some of the patent rights listed may not currently be being
utilized by the Company in, and may not be necessary for, the Company’s business as now conducted.
The Company’s registered domain names are xxxxxxxx.xxx, xxxxxxxx.xxx, xxxxxxxx.xxx, xxxxxxxx.xxxx
and xxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
The Company currently is selling two product lines: (i) the Topaz crystallization
microprocessors (also referred to as Integrated Fluidic Circuits or IFCs) and certain associated
apparatuses; and (ii) the BioMark System, including certain IFCs, such as Dynamic Array chips,
Digital Array chips (also referred to as DID chips) and ImmunoMatrix chips, as well as certain
associated apparatuses. The Company has not completed investigations with respect to the
Intellectual Property Rights required for the BioMark System product line or for additional
applications of the Company’s technology. In conjunction with this analysis, the Company has
sought and will continue to seek opinions from counsel with respect to potentially relevant third
party patent rights directed to, e.g., certain RealTime PCR and other PCR reagents and instruments,
such as assigned to Roche Molecular Systems and/or Applied BioSystems, an Applera Corporation
Business. The Company, therefore, may need to acquire additional Intellectual Property Rights to
pursue those lines of business, particularly with respect to microfluidic devices for PCR and other
assays, although the Company has not presently determined that blocking Intellectual Property
Rights of others exist in this regard.
The Company has entered into a Collaboration Agreement dated January 24, 2005 (the “CTI
Collaboration Agreement”) with CTI Molecular Imaging, Inc. (subsequently acquired by Siemens)
(“CTI”), under which the parties are to develop microfluidic chips and associated apparatuses for
use in positron emission tomography (“PET”). Under the CTI Collaboration Agreement, both CTI and
the Company have granted licenses to the other as necessary to conduct the research and development
program contemplated by the CTI Collaboration Agreement. The Company has also granted CTI an
option under certain of the Company’s intellectual property to manufacture chips developed during
the collaboration. The Company also has rights to intellectual property developed under the
Collaboration Agreement, subject to certain restrictions under which CTI and certain other
collaborating entities have specified rights in the defined PET and associated fields. Recently,
Siemens notified the Company that it does not intend to exercise the option or continue the
research and development program. Discussions are underway relating to the early termination of
the Collaboration Agreement, and for the Company to obtain all rights to intellectual property
developed under the CTI Collaboration Agreement, including intellectual property rights arising
from (i) a patent application filed by Siemens and Caltech in which the Company believes that
certain Company scientists should have been named as co-inventors; (ii) additional patent
applications in the PET field allegedly filed by or on behalf of Siemens potentially with Caltech
inventors; and (iii) CTI activities with third parties. The Company and Siemens have agreed
starting in 2007 to not engage in further funded research under the CTI Collaboration Agreement.
The Company is licensee under a series of agreements with the President and Fellows of Harvard
College, under which the Company pays royalties to Harvard. The Company renegotiated the terms of
its agreements with Harvard and reduced the number of licenses from five to three, effective in
January 2005. The Company and Harvard will be discussing potential royalty obligations of the
Company to Harvard relating to transactions where the Company has received revenue but has not
directly charged for product transfers, such as for certain microfluidic chips.
In January 2003, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement with Gyros pursuant to
which the Company received a non-exclusive license to certain patents from Gyros relating to the
Company’s products. In exchange for the license, the Company has made certain payments to Gyros.
In January 2004, the Company exercised an option to add an additional field of use to the scope of
the license agreement in exchange for a cash payment. In January 2007, the Company did not elect
or pay for another additional field for, e.g., ImmunoMatrix chips, for which the Company has
conducted and is continuing to conduct research and development activities. The Company and Gyros
have had discussions regarding the extension of the field and Gyros has offered such extension
pursuant to the terms of the Patent License Agreement. In addition, the Company is obligated to
make royalty
payments on certain Company products incorporating the technology licensed from Gyros. The
amounts otherwise paid by the Company may be used as a credit with respect to the royalty payments.
The agreement provides for certain indemnity obligations of the Company.
With respect to certain patent filings then-controlled by Oculus Pharmaceuticals with
overlapping claims to the Syrrx patent referred to in the paragraph below, the Company entered into
in March 2003 (i) the Master Closing Agreement; (ii) a License Agreement with UABRF (the “UABRF
License Agreement”); and (iii) a Sponsored Research Agreement with UABRF. The license is an
exclusive license, subject to certain exceptions (including rights UABRF may have previously
granted Diversified Scientific, Inc. so that Diversified Scientific could perform research
obligations under grants). UABRF and affiliated entities have the right to internal use of the
intellectual property rights and to fulfill obligations under a National Institutes of Health
grant. Pursuant to the Master Closing Agreement, the Company made an up-front payment to UABRF and
granted UABRF shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. The Company is obligated to issue
additional shares of its stock to UABRF in the event certain milestones are achieved as described
in Section 2.4 hereof. In connection with the satisfaction of a milestone, the Company may become
obligated to enter into a non-transferable site license so that an entity will have the right to
use the technology licensed to the Company for internal drug discovery efforts. Pursuant to the
Sponsored Research Agreement, the Company agreed to support a UABRF research program. The
Sponsored Research Program Agreement contains certain terms relating to the license of intellectual
property rights arising out of the program. The Company has certain indemnification obligations
pursuant to the agreements referred to in this paragraph.
In conjunction with the development of the Company’s protein crystallization microprocessor
prototype, the Company became aware of U.S. Patent no. 6,296,673, issued to the Regents of the
University of California (the “Regents”) and apparently exclusively licensed to Syrrx Corporation
(note: Xxx Xxxxxxx of Versant Ventures, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, used to be
Chairman of Syrrx, which has been acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited). Based on
Syrrx’s contentions of infringement with respect to the patent, related patent applications and the
Company’s products, the Company has sought and obtained a patent opinion from counsel with respect
to the patent and entered into license negotiations with Syrrx for a license/sublicense to the
patent and other patent filings assigned to the Regents and Syrrx. In December 2003, the Company
entered into a license agreement with Syrrx (the “Syrrx License Agreement”), pursuant to which, in
exchange for a field restricted and nonexclusive license under intellectual property owned or
controlled by Syrrx, the Company issued Syrrx shares of the Company’s Common Stock, made an
up-front payment and annual minimum payments. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a
royalty in connection with the sale of certain products of the Company that incorporate the
intellectual property licensed and is obligated to indemnify Syrrx for matters relating to the
practice by the Company of any license or sublicense under the agreement. In January 2006, an
interference was declared by the USPTO between a patent application licensed to the Company under
the UABRF License Agreement and the above-identified patent and other related patents. While the
interference was ongoing, the Company, Syrrx, UABRF and Athersys, Inc. (a company that allegedly
acquired certain rights from Oculus) were in negotiations to settle the interference and modify the
parties’ obligations under the Syrrx License Agreement, the Master Closing Agreement, and the UABRF
License Agreement. Recently, in an appealable decision, the USPTO invalidated all claims of both
parties in the interference, and Syrrx decided not to appeal. Due to this decision and these
negotiations, the Company may decide not to maintain the Syrrx License Agreement in 2008.
The Company is aware of patents and patent applications controlled by Micronics Corporation
and Diversified Scientific, Inc. that potentially relate to the Company’s protein crystallization
product
line. The Company has sought and obtained opinions from patent counsel regarding such patents
and has conducted preliminary discussions with each of these entities regarding the possibility of
obtaining a license to the relevant intellectual property. The necessity of obtaining a license
from each and the outcome of such negotiations remain uncertain although in certain Micronics
patent applications watched by the Company, the claims have been amended to not cover the Company’s
protein crystallization product line. In February 2005, Diversified Scientific announced a plan to
auction its recently broadened (by USPTO re-examination) patent and other intellectual property
related to crystal image analysis. The Company indicated interest to Diversified Scientific in
submitting a bid. Diversified Scientific replied that it would respond to the Company and
additional interested bidders after checking with their counsel on certain legal issues relating to
the apparently improper broadening of patents by re-examination. The Company has not received a
further response from Diversified Scientific.
With respect to the patents and patent filings described in the foregoing paragraph, those
relating to the BioMark System described above and those not subject to the CTI Collaboration
Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain licenses on terms
acceptable to the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance that the holders of such patents
or patent filings will not initiate and prevail in litigation against the Company with respect to
the patents or patent filings.
The Company routinely investigates patents held by third parties to determine whether there
may be any conflict with the Company Intellectual Property Rights. While such investigations are
ongoing, the Company is not currently aware of any conflict except as disclosed herein.
With respect to certain microfluidics protein crystallization technology licensed to the
Company from Caltech, a University of California scientist, Dr. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, is a co-inventor of
this technology along with certain Caltech scientists. Therefore, the Regents of the University
of California own certain rights in the invention which the Company understands have been licensed
to Caltech. The Company has sublicensed these rights from Caltech. As the Company is a
sublicensee, if Caltech’s license from the Regents were to be revoked or terminated for any reason,
the Company’s ability to practice and license this technology internationally would be subject to
certain limitations.
See also the discussion of the possible new collaboration agreement in Section 2.17 below, the
Company’s license agreement with Caltech in Section 2.10(b) below and the discussion of the
Company’s letter from a supplier in Section 2.8 above.
2.10(b)
See Section 2.10(a) above and Schedule 2.10 attached hereto. In addition, in
connection with sales of the Company’s products, the Company’s standard terms and conditions
include limited licenses to use the Company’s products, including licenses to the Company’s
software. The Company also has entered into (i) several prototype and other evaluation agreements
and material transfer agreements with third parties, which agreements provide for the third party’s
use of the Company’s products for a limited period of time typically in return for grant-back
licenses to the Company of improvements, and (ii) material transfer agreements in which the parties
may assign to each other certain intellectual property rights. The Company has sold BioMark System
prototypes and products and is entering into agreements with respect to additional sales,
evaluations and development agreements relating to the BioMark System. The Company typically
negotiates either standstill, grant-back or other rights to certain inventions made by the Company
or third parties using the prototypes. The Company intends to continue to negotiate collaboration
or other agreements with third parties.
The Exclusive Patent License Agreement dated November 2, 2000 with the Regents listed in
Schedule 2.10 requires the Company to make efforts to commercialize products relating to
the technology licensed to the Company. The Regents sent the Company a notice of termination of
the agreement in part due to the alleged failure of the Company to make such efforts. The Regents
rescinded the notice of termination and the Company intended to renegotiate the agreement to modify
the requirement that the Company make efforts to commercialize the technology. The Company has
received a request from the Regents for reports and diligence relating to the agreement. The
Company and Regents agreed to terminate the agreement with no further obligations of either party.
In connection with entering into the most recent amendment to the Caltech License Agreement,
and in response to a request from Caltech, the Company terminated its license of certain patent
rights that it deemed not material to the Company’s business as currently conducted in exchange for
a cash payment from Caltech and a reduction in the Company’s potential obligation to issue stock to
Caltech. The Company understands that Caltech has licensed these patent rights to another entity,
Helicos Biosciences Corporation. Dr. Xxxxx Quake, a former director of and former consultant to
the Company, co-founded Helicos, and Versant Ventures, a significant investor in the Company, is
also a significant investor in Helicos. The Company believes that a conflict could exist between
the license Caltech granted to Helicos and Caltech’s license of patent rights to the Company, if
Caltech’s license with Helicos does not specifically exclude the patent rights granted to the
Company. The patent rights licensed from Caltech to Helicos include a cross-reference to, and
disclosure relating to, the patent rights the Company licenses from Caltech. Effective April 23,
2007, as amended May 11, 2007, the Company executed an Intellectual Property Agreement with Caltech
and Helicos.
2.10(c)
See discussions in Sections 2.10(a) and (b) above.
2.10(d)
The Company utilizes certain inventions developed by Xxxxx Quake (See discussions in Section
2.10(f) below) prior to the formation of the Company and the inventions of certain employees
developed while they were working or studying at Caltech. The Company has rights to these
inventions pursuant to its license agreements with Caltech described in Schedule 2.10
attached hereto.
See discussion in Section 2.9 relating to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx and Crew LLP
from time to time provides legal services to Caltech and other parties with whom the Company has
business relationships.
2.10(e)
See discussion in Section 2.10(b).
Xxxxx Quake and certain employees of the Company who previously worked at or studied at
Caltech have a right, pursuant to their agreements with Caltech, to receive a portion of the
royalties Caltech receives under its license agreements with the Company described in Schedule
2.10 attached hereto.
The Company has license agreements with shareholders of the Company. Those license agreements
are listed on Schedule 2.10 attached hereto.
The Company’s employees have executed proprietary information and invention assignment
agreements in favor of the Company. The Company has executed consulting agreements with its
consultants and non-disclosure agreements with third parties.
From time to time university collaborators may be on the Company’s premises conducting
research with the Company’s chips. The Company typically does not enter into agreements relating
to these arrangements. The Company has entered into an agreement with a collaborator from Regents.
2.10(f)
See discussion in Sections 2.10(a), 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(e).
The Company’s rights with respects to the research and development efforts of Xxxxx Quake are
limited to those rights it has obtained through its licenses with Caltech described in Schedule
2.10 attached hereto and its consulting agreement with Xxxxx Quake. As Dr. Quake has
transferred to Stanford University effective in early 2005, the Company negotiated with Caltech to
modify the Company’s right to receive license rights from the Quake laboratory at Caltech. The
Company also has negotiated a Material Transfer Agreement with Stanford University to obtain, for a
limited term, license rights to certain inventions made by the Quake laboratory at Stanford
University and is in negotiations for additional such agreements. Dr. Quake has been appointed an
investigator by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Medical Institute (“HHMI”). In connection with such appointment,
Dr. Quake’s affiliation with the Company (including, without limitation, stock ownership and status
as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company) and the Company’s rights to inventions from
the Quake laboratory at Stanford University and Caltech have been eliminated or substantially
curtailed. The Company has negotiated a new consulting agreement with Dr. Quake in accordance with
HHMI guidelines; such consulting agreement provides for certain guaranteed payments over a
multi-year time period. In addition, Dr. Quake has resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors
and on June 5, 2006 the Company has repurchased 123,974 shares of Dr. Quake’s Common Stock holding
in the Company to comport with HHMI guidelines.
2.10(h)
The Company notes that it has given the opportunity to the Purchasers to conduct any due
diligence investigation that such Purchasers deemed necessary and has provided each Purchaser with
all of the information that such Purchaser has requested.
2.11 Compliance with Other Instruments
See discussions in Section 2.10(a) regarding the Syrrx License Agreement and in Section
2.10(b).
2.12 Permits
The Company’s subsidiary in Singapore has applied for various permits relating to the conduct
of business in Singapore, some of which may not been granted.

2.14 Title to Property and Assets
The Company and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) entered into a Master Security
Agreement (which was amended in February 2004), pursuant to which the Company has borrowed an
aggregate principal amount of $6,230,152 (out of an aggregate available under the Master Security
Agreement of $11,000,000) from GECC pursuant to the terms of the Master Security Agreement and
series of promissory notes. The loans relate to purchases of the Company of certain equipment and
software (subject to certain restrictions). The notes bear interest at rates between 8% and 9% per
annum and are repaid in periodic monthly installments over 42 months from the date of issuance of
each respective promissory note (except with respect to loans relating to computer equipment and
software, which must be paid over 36 months). The Company’s obligations under the notes and Master
Security Agreement are secured by a lien on fixed assets financed with the loans. In addition,
Comerica Bank has issued a letter of credit in the amount of $500,000 for the benefit of GECC as
security for the loans, which is secured by a $500,000 cash account of the Company’s at Comerica
Bank. As of September 30, 2007, the Company owed approximately $1,340,433 under the notes.
In March 2005, the Company and Lighthouse entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, a
Management Rights letter agreement, a Negative Pledge Agreement and certain other agreements
(collectively, the “Lighthouse Agreements”). Pursuant to the Lighthouse Agreements, the Company
has borrowed $13,000,000 from Lighthouse, $9,601,037 of which was outstanding as of September 30,
2007. The amounts loaned bear interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% and are to be repaid in 48
monthly installments from the execution date of March 2005. Pursuant to the Loan and Security
Agreement, the Company granted Lighthouse a lien on and security interest in all of the Company’s
assets (subject to certain limited exceptions and excluding intellectual property rights (but not
proceeds from the sale thereof) as set forth in the Lighthouse Agreements). Pursuant to the
Negative Pledge Agreement, the Company is generally prohibited from transferring or encumbering
intellectual property and certain other assets. The Lighthouse Agreements contain various
affirmative and negative covenants of the
Company. In connection with the Lighthouse Agreements, the Company issued to Lighthouse a
warrant as described in Section 2.4 hereof. The Company’s ability to pay amounts that may arise
under convertible promissory notes issued, or that may be issued, to BMSIF and Invus is limited
under the Lighthouse Agreements, and BMSIF and Invus entered into a Subordination Agreement with
Lighthouse (which limits their right to receive payment on the convertible promissory notes).
The Company has issued letters of credit of $250,000 and $137,527 for security deposits under
the subleases for its headquarters facility in South San Francisco, California (see Section
2.15(b)). In addition, the Company has issued a letter of credit for the benefit of GECC in the

1.3 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing Registrable Securities shall

imprinted with a legend in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable
state securities laws):
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”). SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR PLEDGED IN THE
ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
(WHICH MAY BE COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY), OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO
IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS
DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.”
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF
WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A MARKET STAND-OFF
AGREEMENT IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE
SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
Each Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions
to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on
transfer established in this Section 1.
1.4 Notice of Proposed Transfers. Each Holder of each certificate representing
Restricted Securities, by acceptance thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the
restrictions on transfer contained in Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.14 of this Agreement. Solely
for purposes of the foregoing sentence and for the sake of clarification, the term “Holder” shall
also include and the term “Restricted Securities” shall also apply to any Founder, holder of Other
Shares or Warrantholders. Prior to any proposed sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of any
Restricted Securities (other than any transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership),
unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed
transfer, the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to
effect such transfer, sale, assignment or
pledge. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in sufficient detail, and shall be accompanied at such
Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal
opinion shall be, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect
that the proposed transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or (ii) a “no action” letter from the
Commission
-5-
to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result
in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, or
(iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company, whereupon the Holder of
such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance
with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided,
however, that no such legal opinion, “no action” letter or other evidence shall be required
with respect to a transfer to an Affiliate. Each certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities
transferred as above provided shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144, the
appropriate restrictive legend set forth in Section 1.3 above, except that such certificate shall
not bear such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any
provisions of the Securities Act or this Agreement.
1.5 Requested Registration.
(a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Initiating
Holders a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to a public
offering of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price
to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $20,000,000,
the Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and
(ii) use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable such registration (including,
without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance
with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements
or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution
of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together
with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such
request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within 15 days after receipt
of the written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 1.5:
(1) Prior to six months following the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering;
(2) During the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s estimated date of
filing of, and ending on the date three months immediately following the effective date of, any
registration statement (other than a registration of Securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with
respect to an employee benefit plan) pertaining to Securities of the Company (subject to Section
1.6(a) hereof), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to be filed and become effective and that the Company
provides the Initiating Holders written notice of its intent to file such
-6-
registration statement
within 30 days of receiving the request for registration from the Initiating Holders and provided
further, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month
period.
(3) After the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to this Section 1.5; or
(4) If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate, signed by the President of the
Company, stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for a registration statement to be filed in the near
future, in which case the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to register under this
Section 1.5 shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 90 days from the date of receipt of
written request from the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize
this right more than once in any 12-month period.
(b) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable
Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company
as part of their request made under Section 1.5(a), and the Company shall so advise the Holders as
part of the notice given pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i). The right of any Holder to registration
pursuant to Section 1.5 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in the underwriting
arrangements required by this Section 1.5 and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
in the underwriting, to the extent requested and provided herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing
underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company and a majority of the Holders.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.5, if the managing underwriter advises the
Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities who indicated
their intent to participate in the registration in a timely manner, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
among such Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Registrable
Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the registration statement, provided,
however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
underwriting shall not be reduced unless all Worthington Shares, all Other Shares and all other
Securities that are not Registrable Securities (other than Securities to be sold for the account of
the Company) are first
entirely excluded from the underwriting. No Registrable Securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such
registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the
Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest
100 shares.
If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such
person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter
and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from
registration.
-7-
1.6 Company Registration.
(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time, the Company shall
determine to register any Common Stock, either for its own account or the account of a security
holder or holders other than (i) a registration relating to employee benefit plans, (ii) a
registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, (iii) a registration relating to a
Commission Rule 145 transaction, or (iv) a registration pursuant to Sections 1.5 or 1.7 hereof, the
Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other
compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in
a written request or requests made within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company by any Holder.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders in a
written notice given pursuant to this Section 1.6. In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in
such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent
provided herein.
All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together
with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting)
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for
such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.6, if the
managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of
Registrable Securities and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in
the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at
the time of filing the registration statement; provided, however, that, no
Registrable Securities shall be excluded until all Worthington Shares, all Other Shares and all
other Securities that are not Registrable Securities
(other than Securities to be sold for the account of the Company) are first excluded, and
provided further, that, except in the case of the Company’s Initial Public Offering
(where Registrable Securities may be excluded entirely), the number of Registrable Securities
included in such underwriting shall not be reduced below 25% of the total number of shares in the
underwriting. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the
allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may
round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. The Company may
include shares of Common Stock held by shareholders other than Holders in a registration statement
pursuant to this Section 1.6 to the extent that the amount of Registrable Securities otherwise
includible in such registration statement would not thereby be diminished.
-8-
If any Holder or other holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he or she may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter. The
Registrable Securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from such registration and, in the case
of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, shall be subject to Section 1.14.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or
withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.6 prior to the effectiveness of such
registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
1.7 Registration on Form S-3.
(a) If any Holder or Holders request that the Company file a registration statement on Form
S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of Registrable Securities, the
reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and
commissions, would exceed $2,000,000, and the Company is then entitled to use Form S-3 under
applicable Commission rules to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the
Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and
(ii) use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable such registration (including,
without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate
qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance
with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements
or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution
of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together
with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such
request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within 15 days after receipt
of the written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 1.7:
(1) if the Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request for registration
pursuant to this Section 1.7, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a
registration statement with the Commission within ninety (90) days of receipt of such request
(other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction or an
employee benefit plan or any other registration which is not appropriate for the registration of
Registrable Securities);
(2) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s estimated
date of filing of, and ending on the date three months immediately following, the effective date of
any registration statement pertaining to Securities of the Company (other than with respect to a
registration statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction or an employee benefit plan), provided
that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to be filed and become effective; or
-9-
(3) if the Company shall furnish to such Holder or Holders a certificate signed by the
President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would
be seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for registration statements to be filed
in the near future, then the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to file a registration
statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 90 days from the receipt of the request to
file such registration by such Holder or Holders; provided further, however, that
the Company may not utilize the rights provided for in subsections (1) and (2) above and this
subsection (3) more than once in total in any twelve month period. For the avoidance of doubt, if
the Company utilizes any of the rights provided for in subsections (1), (2) and (3), it shall not
have the right to utilize the same right again; nor shall it have the right to utilize any of the
other rights provided in subsections (1), (2) and (3) for twelve months.
(b) Underwriting. If the Holders requesting registration intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise
the Company as part of their request made under Section 1.7(a), and the Company shall so advise the
Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i). The substantive provisions of
Section 1.5(b) shall otherwise apply to such registration.
1.8 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with
any registration pursuant to Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 shall be borne by the Company. If a
registration proceeding is begun upon the request of Holders pursuant to Section 1.5 or 1.7, but
such request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders, then the Holders of
Registrable Securities to have been registered may either: (i) bear all Registration Expenses of
such proceeding, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares to have been registered, in which
case the Company shall be deemed not to have effected a registration pursuant to Section 1.5(a) or
1.7(a) of this Agreement as applicable; provided, however, that the Company, and
not the Holders, shall be required to pay for the Registration Expenses if the Holders learn of a
materially adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known
to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request promptly following
discovery of such material adverse
change; or (ii) if the registration is being effected pursuant to Section 1.5, require the
Company to bear all Registration Expenses of such proceeding, in which case the Company shall be
deemed to have effected a registration pursuant to Section 1.5(a). Unless otherwise stated, all
other Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by
the Holders of the registered securities included in such registration pro rata on the basis of the
number of shares so registered, provided that to the extent a Holder elects to
retain its own counsel (an “Additional Counsel”) separate from the counsel for all the Holders
permitted pursuant to the definition of “Registration Expenses” under Section 1.1, then such Holder
shall exclusively bear the costs of such Additional Counsel.
1.9 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration, qualification or
compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 1, the Company will keep each Holder
advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as
to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
-10-
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred
twenty (120) days or until the distribution described in the registration statement has been
completed; provided, however, that such 120-day period shall be extended for a
period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such
registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company.
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission, in consultation with the Holders, such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the
securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing
underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter
into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such Holder,
prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment
of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing.
-11-
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each
securities exchange, or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system, as the case may
be, on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted.
(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the
effective date of such registration.
(i) In the event of any underwritten public offering, cooperate with the selling Holders, the
underwriters participating in the offering and their counsel in any due diligence investigation
reasonably requested by the selling Holders or the underwriters in connection therewith, and
participate, to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriter for the offering or the
selling Holder, in efforts to sell the Registrable Securities under the offering (including,
without limitation, participating in “roadshow” meetings with prospective investors) that would be
customary for underwritten primary offerings of a comparable amount of equity securities by the
Company.
1.10 Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify and defend each Holder, each of its officers and directors and
partners, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance is being effected
pursuant to this Section 1, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims,
losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing
incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration
statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or
based on any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, or any violation or any alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder,
applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance,
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and directors, and each
person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such
underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as such
expenses are incurred, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such
Holder, controlling person or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.
-12-
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the
securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify
the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s
securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder,
each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
the Company, such Holders, such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for
any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to
the extent, but only if and to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use
therein; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder shall be limited to
the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Securities pursuant to such registration.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.10 (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”)
promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may
be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct
the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval
shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, however,
that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties which may be represented
without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees
and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by
the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel
in such proceeding. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 1 unless, and only to the
extent that, the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s
ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.10 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss,
-13-
liability, claim,
damage, or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the
Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations
(except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act); provided, however, that, no Holder will be required to pay any amount under
this subsection 1.10(d) in excess of the net proceeds from the sale of all Registrable Securities
offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement. The relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified
Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the
underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control with respect to the rights and obligations of each of the
parties to such underwriting agreement.
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.10 shall survive the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section
1, and otherwise.
1.11 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included
in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders,
the Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company
may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration
referred to in this Section 1.
1.12 Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available
to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or
regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company
to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to
use its best efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date that the Company becomes
subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act;
-14-
(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject
to such reporting requirements);
(c) register its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act at such time as it is
required to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act; and
(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith
upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant
whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and
documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information in the possession of or
reasonably obtainable by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any
rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without
registration or pursuant to such form.
1.13 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register
Registrable Securities granted to the Investors under Sections 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 may be assigned to
a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer or assignment of Eligible Securities by an
Investor; provided that (a) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable
securities laws, (b) notice of such assignment is given to the Company, (c) such transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and (d) such transferee or assignee agrees to be bound by and subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1.14 Standoff Agreement.
(a) Each Holder agrees in connection with the first sale of the Company’s Common Stock in a
firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act, upon notice by the Company or the underwriters managing such public offering,
not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, pledge (or otherwise encumber or hypothecate), grant any
option for the purchase of, or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of any Securities (other
than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company and such
managing underwriters for such period of time as the Board of Directors establishes pursuant to its
good faith negotiations with such managing underwriters; provided, however that:
(i) such agreement shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days;
(ii) such agreement shall not apply to transfers to an Affiliate, provided that such Affiliate
agrees to be bound by the terms of such agreement, to the same extent as if such transferee were
the original party thereunder;
-15-
(iii) a Holder shall not be subject to such agreement unless (A) all executive officers and
directors of the Company, (B), all shareholders of the Company holding more than 1% of the
Company’s outstanding capital stock; and (C) all other Holders and holders of other registration
rights, are subject to or obligated to enter into similar agreements; and
(iv) if and when any person identified in clause (iii) is released, in whole or in part, from
such agreement (whether or not such release is contemplated at the time of the offering) or if any
such agreement is terminated, the Holder shall be concurrently released on a pro rata basis based
on the number of shares held by such person and the Holder.
(b) Each Holder agrees that prior to the Initial Public Offering it will not transfer
securities of the Company unless each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the
provisions of this Section 1.14; provided that this Section 1.14(b) shall not apply to transfers
pursuant to a registration statement.
(c) Each Holder hereby consents to the placement of stop transfer orders with the Company’s
transfer agent in order to enforce the foregoing provision and agrees to execute a market standoff
agreement with said underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section
1.14.
1.15 No Right to Delay Registration. No holder shall restrain, enjoin, or otherwise
delay any registration hereunder, notwithstanding any controversy that might arise with respect to
the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.
1.16 Termination of Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right
provided for in this Section 1 after the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the consummation
of the Initial Public Offering, and (ii) that date following the Initial Public Offering upon which
each Holder holds less than 1% of the then issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company and all such shares may be sold under Section 5 of the Securities Act whether pursuant to
Rule 144 or another applicable exemption during any 90 day period. All other provisions hereof
relating to registration rights shall continue to be effective despite any termination of such
registration rights pursuant to this section.
1.17 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder
of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such securities unless (i)
such new registration rights, are subordinate to the registration rights granted Holders hereunder
and include similar market stand-off obligations or (ii) such new registration rights are approved
by the Holders of 50% of the Registrable Securities then held by Holders (assuming exercise or
conversion of all outstanding Eligible Securities); provided, however, that
Warrantholders may enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering a counterpart signature
page to this Agreement.

SECTION 3
Right of First Offer For Company Securities
3.1 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this
Section 3, the Company hereby grants to each Investor a right of first offer with respect to future
sales by the Company of its Securities. An Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of
first offer hereby granted among itself and its partners and Affiliates in such proportions as it
deems appropriate.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any Securities in a Financing (as defined below), the
Company shall first make an offering of such Securities to each Investor in accordance with the
following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice (“Notice”) to each Investor stating (i) its intention
to offer such Securities for sale, (ii) the number of such Securities to be offered (the “Offered
Securities”), (iii) the price, if any, for which it proposes to offer such Securities, (iv) the
terms of such offer and (v) the Offer Amount (as defined below).
-19-
(b) Within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice, each Investor may elect to
purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, such Securities in an amount up to
the Offer Amount by providing the Company with written notice of its election.
(c) An election by an Investor pursuant to Section 3.1(b) to purchase Offered Securities shall
not be considered a binding commitment on the Investor unless and until the Company receives
binding commitments to purchase on the terms and conditions contained in the Notice substantially
all of the Offered Securities which the Investors have not elected to purchase.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and each of the Investors acknowledge and agree
that Lighthouse shall have the opportunity to invest not less than $250,000 in connection with the
first Financing completed after the date of this Agreement that involves the sale and issuance by
the Company of shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock with aggregate gross proceeds to
the Company of at least $3 million. In the event that Lighthouse’s right to purchase Offered
Securities as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.1 would not permit such $250,000 investment,
then each of the Investors agrees that its respective right to purchase Offered Securities pursuant
to this Section 3.1 may be cut-back (proportionately with all other Investors based on the number
of shares of Eligible Securities held by the Investors) in such amounts as may be necessary to
permit the exercise of Lighthouse’s rights as set forth herein.
3.2 Sale of Securities by Company. Within 60 days of the expiration of the period
described in Section 3.1(b), any Offered Securities which the Investors have not elected to
purchase may be sold by the Company to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon
terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Notice. If the Company does
not complete the sale of all such Offered Securities within said 60-day period, the rights of the
Investors with respect to any such unsold Offered Securities shall be deemed to be revived.
3.3 Offer Amount. The “Offer Amount” shall equal that percentage of the Offered
Securities equal to the number of shares of Eligible Securities held by an Investor which are
Registrable Securities divided by the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company. For the purposes of the foregoing calculations, all outstanding options and warrants
shall be deemed to be exercised and all Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into
Common Stock at the prevailing conversion rate.
3.4 Financing. “Financing” shall mean an offering or series of related offerings of
Securities by the Company for purposes of raising working capital in a minimum amount of $250,000.
Financing shall not include (i) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock or options to
purchase Common stock to employees, officers, directors or consultants for the primary purpose of
soliciting or retaining their services in such amount as shall have been approved by the Board of
Directors, (ii) the issuance or sale of Securities to leasing entities or financial institutions in
connection with commercial leasing or borrowing transactions approved by the Board of Directors,
(iii) the issuance or sale of Securities to third party providers of goods or services in
connection with transactions approved by the Board of Directors; (iv) the sale of Securities in a
registered public offering, (v) any issuances of Securities in connection with any stock split,
stock dividend or recapitalization by the Company, (vi) the issuance of Securities at a price (on
an as converted to
-20-
Common Stock basis) below the original issue price of the Company’s Series E
Preferred Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and like events) in connection
with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM, marketing or other
similar agreements or any joint venture or strategic alliance, if such issuance is approved
unanimously by the Board of Directors, provided that the issuance of the Company’s
Series E Preferred Stock to BMSIF or any Affiliate thereof or any related entity to the Singapore
Economic Development Board pursuant to Section 3.4(xii) below at a price below the original issue
price of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations
and like events) shall also not be a Financing hereunder, (vii) the issuance of Securities at a
price (on an as converted to Common Stock basis) at or above the original issue price of the
Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and like
events) in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, OEM,
marketing or other similar agreements or any joint venture or strategic alliance, if such issuance
is approved by the Board of Directors, (viii) the issuance of Securities at a price (on an as
converted to Common Stock basis) below the original issue price of the Company’s Series E Preferred
Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and like events) in connection with the
acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, consolidation, or purchase of all or
substantially all of the assets or shares of such corporation unanimously approved by the Board of
Directors, (ix) the issuance of Securities at a price (on an as
converted to Common Stock basis) at or above the original issue price of the Company’s Series

with the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, consolidation, or purchase of
all or substantially all of the assets or shares of such corporation approved by the Board of
Directors; (x) shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the terms of the Purchase
Agreement; (xi) interest-bearing convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$8 million issued or issuable pursuant to the CNPA and/or the CNA and any Securities issued on

Affiliate thereof or any related entity to the Singapore Economic Development Board, and any
Securities issued on conversion thereof.
3.5 Termination of Right of First Offer. The right of first offer contained in this
section shall not apply to and shall terminate upon the closing of an Initial Public Offering. The
right of first offer granted under this Section 3 is transferable to transferees of at least
750,000 shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like)
or to Affiliates.

SECTION 4
Right of First Offer with Respect to Founder Shares
4.1 Notice of Sales. Should a Founder (a “Seller”) propose to accept one or more bona
fide offers (collectively, the “Purchase Offer”) from any persons (“Purchasers”) to purchase
Founders Shares from such Seller (other than as set forth 4.2(d) hereof), then such Seller shall,
promptly after exercise or termination of any rights of first refusal held by the Company, deliver
a notice (the “Notice”) to the Company and all Investors holding more than 750,000 shares of
Eligible Securities (“Eligible Investors”).
4.2 Purchase Right. Each Eligible Investor shall have the right, exercisable upon
written notice to such Seller within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Notice, to
purchase Founders Shares on the terms and conditions specified in the Purchase Offer. To the
extent an Eligible Investor exercises its right to purchase such shares in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of stock which such Seller may sell to
the Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Offer shall be correspondingly reduced. The purchase right
of each Eligible Investor shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Calculation of Shares. Each Eligible Investor may purchase all or any part of
that number of Founder Shares equal to the number obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number
of Founders Shares covered by the Purchase Offer by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the time owned by such Eligible Investor and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding. For
the purposes of the foregoing calculations, all outstanding options and
warrants shall be deemed to be exercised and all Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been
converted into Common Stock at the prevailing conversion rate.
(b) Delivery of Consideration. Each Eligible Investor may effect its purchase right
by promptly delivering to such Seller a written notice and a check or wire transfer equal to the
purchase price specified in the Purchase Offer for the number of shares the Eligible Investor
desires to purchase pursuant to this Section 4.2.
(c) Certificate. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of Eligible Investor’s
funds pursuant to Section 4.2(c), Seller shall deliver to such Eligible Investor a certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Founder Shares purchased by such Eligible Investor.
(d) Permitted Transactions. The participation rights in this Section 4 shall not
pertain or apply to:
(i) Any transfer to a revocable grantor trust with respect to which the Founder and members of
his family are the sole beneficiaries;
(ii) Any repurchase of Founders Shares by the Company;
-22-
(iii) Any exercise by the Company of a right or remedy under the terms of any loan, security
or stock pledge agreement where the Founders Shares serve as security for a loan made by the
Company;
(iv) Any transfer to any ancestors or descendants or spouse of a Founder or to a trustee for
their benefit or to a custodian for the benefit of a Founders’ issue; or
(v) Any bona fide gift;
provided, however, that such Founder shall inform the Eligible Investors of such transfer or gift
(other than a transfer pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii)) prior to effecting it and the transferee
or donee (if other than the Company) shall furnish the Company and the Eligible Investors with a
written agreement to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement.
4.3 Sale of Securities by Founder. Within 60 days of the expiration of the period
described in the first paragraph of Section 4.2, any Founders Shares covered by the Purchase Offer
which the Eligible Investors have not elected to purchase may be sold by the Seller to the
Purchasers on the terms and conditions of the Purchase Offer. If the Seller does not complete the
sale of all Founders Shares covered by the Purchase Offer within such period, the rights of the
Eligible Investors with respect to any such unsold Founders Shares shall be deemed to be revived.
4.4 Termination and Transfer. The restrictions imposed and rights granted by this
Section 4 shall not apply to and shall terminate immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s
Initial Public Offering. Securities received pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, or exercise of a conversion right shall be subject to this Section 4 to the
same extent as the shares of the Company with respect to which they were issued. The right of
first offer granted under this Section 4 is transferable to transferees of at least 750,000 shares
of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) or to
Affiliates.
4.5 Prohibited Transfer. Any attempt by a Founder to transfer Founders Shares in
violation of Section 4 hereof shall be void and the Company agrees it will not effect such a
transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee(s) as the holder of such shares, without the
written consent of two-thirds (2/3) in interest of the Eligible Investors.
SECTION 5
Right of Co-Sale
5.1 Notice of Sales. Should a Founder (a “Seller”) propose to accept one or more bona
fide offers (collectively, the “Purchase Offer”) from any persons (“Purchasers”) to purchase
Founders Shares from such Seller (other than as set forth 5.2(d)), then such Seller shall, promptly
after exercise or termination of any rights of first refusal held by the Company or the Eligible
Investors, deliver a notice (the “Notice”) to the Company and all Eligible Investors describing the
terms and conditions of the Purchase Offer.

such Eligible Investor elects to sell pursuant to this Section 5.2.
(c) Transfer. The stock certificate or certificates which the Eligible Investor
delivers to such Seller pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be delivered by the Seller to the

that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Eligible Investor is entitled by reason of its
participation in such sale.

pertain or apply to:

their benefit or to a custodian for the benefit of a Founders’ issue; or
(v) Any bona fide gift;

(other than a transfer pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii)) prior to effecting it and the transferee
or donee (if other than the Company) shall furnish the Company and the Eligible Investors with a
written agreement to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement.

described in the first paragraph of Section 5.2, any Founders Shares covered by the Purchase Offer
which the Eligible Investors have not elected to purchase may be sold by the Seller to the
Purchasers on the terms and conditions of the Purchase Offer. If the Seller does not complete the
sale of all Founders Shares covered by the Purchase Offer within such period, the rights of the
Eligible Investors with respect to any such unsold Founders Shares shall be deemed to be revived.
5.4 Termination and Transfer. The restrictions imposed and rights granted by this
Section 5 shall not apply to and shall terminate immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s
Initial Public Offering. Securities received pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, or exercise of a conversion right shall be subject to this Section 5 to the same
extent as the shares of the Company with respect to which they were issued. The co-sale right
granted under this Section 5 is transferable to transferees of at least 750,000 shares of
Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and the like) or to Affiliates.
5.5 Prohibited Transfers.
(a) In the event any Founder should sell any Founders Shares in contravention of the co-sale
rights of the Investors under Section 5 (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the Investors, in addition to
such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option
provided below, and the Founder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.
(b) In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Eligible Investor shall have the right to sell
to the Founder the type and number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares that
such Eligible Investor would have been entitled to transfer to the third-party transferee(s) under

and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in subparagraph 5.5(b)(i), in cash
or by other means acceptable to the Eligible Investor.

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June , 2006
(the “Agreement”) by and among Fluidigm Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), and
the persons and entities listed in Exhibit A to the Agreement (the “Investors”), which provides for
the issuance by the Company to the Investors of shares of Series E Preferred Stock of the Company
(the “Shares”). This opinion is rendered to the Investors in the Initial Closing pursuant to
Section 4.5 of the Agreement, and all terms used herein have the meanings defined for them in the
Agreement unless otherwise defined herein. Reference in this opinion to the Agreement excludes any
schedule or substantive agreement attached as an exhibit to the Agreement, unless otherwise
indicated herein.
We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation of the Agreement
and the Investor Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and the issuance of
the Shares. As such counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as we
have deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In addition, we have
examined originals or copies of such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public
officials and such other documents which we consider necessary or advisable for the purpose of
rendering this opinion. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on
original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us and the due execution
and delivery of all documents (except as to due execution and delivery by the Company) where due
execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.
As used in this opinion, the expression “to our knowledge,” “known to us” or similar language
with reference to matters of fact refers to the current actual knowledge of attorneys of this firm
who have worked on matters for the Company in connection with the Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein or as we otherwise believe
to be necessary to our opinion, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine
the existence or absence of any fact, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or
absence of any fact should be drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of the
opinion set forth below.
AllianceBernstein L.P.
Dated as of June , 2006
Page 2
For purposes of this opinion, we are assuming that each Investor has all requisite power and
authority, and has taken any and all necessary corporate or partnership action, to execute and
deliver the Transaction Documents and to effect any and all transactions related to or contemplated
thereby. In addition, we are assuming that the Investors have purchased the Shares for value, in
good faith and without notice of any adverse claims within the meaning of the California Uniform
Commercial Code.
We are members of the Bar of the State of California and we express no opinion as to any
matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of
America and the laws of the State of California.
In rendering the opinion in paragraph 6 below, we note that we have not conducted a docket
search in any jurisdiction with respect to litigation that may be pending against the Company or
any of its officers or directors. We further note the disclosure under Section 2.10 of the
Schedule of Exceptions to the Agreement. Please be advised that we have not represented the
Company with respect to the matters disclosed in Section 2.10 of the Schedule of Exceptions and
express no opinion with respect to any matter discussed therein.
The opinions hereinafter expressed are subject to the following additional qualifications:
(a) We express no opinion as to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar federal or state laws affecting the rights of
creditors.
(b) We express no opinion as to the effect or availability of rules of law governing specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (regardless of whether any such remedy
is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(c) This opinion is qualified by the limitations imposed by statutes and principles of law and
equity that provide that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where
such covenants or provisions are unconscionable or contrary to public policy or where enforcement
of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would violate the enforcing party’s implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
(d) Our opinion in the first sentence of paragraph 1 below is based solely on the certificates
of public officials and filing officers as to the corporate and tax good standing of the Company in
the State of California.
(e) Our opinions set forth in paragraph 3 below relating to the outstanding capital stock of the
Company and outstanding options, warrants or similar rights to acquire shares of the Company’s
capital stock are based solely on (i) our review of a report from eProsper, Inc., the
AllianceBernstein L.P.
Dated as of June , 2006
Page 3
Company’s transfer agent, detailing the holders of securities of the Company and the number
and type of securities held by such holders (the “Transfer Agent Report”) and (ii) a certificate
delivered to us by the Company regarding factual matters underlying the opinions set forth herein.
Our opinion in paragraph 3 below that the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and
Preferred Stock of the Company are fully paid and non-assessable is based solely on a certificate
of an officer of the Company that the Company received, in payment for such shares, the full
consideration required by the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the
issuance of such shares.
(f) For purposes of our opinions in paragraph 2 and paragraph 4 below, we have assumed that
the Transfer Agent Report is accurate and complete in all respects.
(g) We express no opinion as to compliance with the anti-fraud provisions of applicable
securities laws.
(h) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any indemnification or contribution
provision, including, without limitation, the indemnification and contribution provisions of the
Investor Rights Agreement and the indemnification provision in the Agreement, to the extent the
provisions thereof may be subject to limitations of public policy and the effect of applicable
statutes and judicial decisions.
(i) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of choice of law provisions, waivers of

be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Shares issued under the
Agreement are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are free of any
liens, encumbrances and preemptive or similar rights contained in the Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws of the Company, or, to our knowledge, in any written agreement to which the Company is a
party, except as specifically provided in the Agreement (including its Exhibits) and except for
liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the Investors; provided, however, that
the Shares (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) are subject to restrictions on
transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws. To our knowledge, except for rights
described above, in the Transaction Documents (including the Schedule of Exceptions to the
Agreement) or in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as of the date of the Agreement,
there are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights in writing presently
outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares of capital stock or
other securities of the Company, or any other written agreements of the Company to issue any such
securities or rights; provided, however, we note the Company’s intent to comply
with Section 3 of the Investor Rights Agreement following the Initial Closing.
4. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and shareholders necessary
for the authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the
authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares (and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof) and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents (other than those registration obligations contained in Section 1 of the Investor Rights
Agreement) has been taken. The Transaction Documents have been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their terms.
5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the performance by
the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and the issuance of the Shares (and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) do not violate any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or any provision of any applicable federal or state law, rule or
regulation known to us to be customarily applicable to transactions of this nature. The execution
and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the performance by the Company of its
obligations under the Transaction Documents, and the issuance of the Shares (and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof) do not violate any judgment or decree known to us that is binding
upon the Company.
6. Except as identified in the Agreement (including the Schedule of Exceptions), to our
knowledge, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending against the Company
or its properties before any court or governmental agency nor, to our knowledge, has the Company
received any written threat thereof.

7. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any
governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares
(and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) or the consummation by the Company of any
other transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except (a) the filing of the Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of
California, and (b) subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors

D, promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the SEC, and (ii) the post-Closing
qualification (or the taking of such action post-Closing as may be necessary to secure an exemption
from qualification) under applicable state securities laws of the offer and sale of the Shares (and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof). The filing referred to in clause (a) above has
been accomplished and is effective. Our opinion herein is otherwise subject to the timely and
proper completion of all filings and other actions contemplated herein where such filings and
actions are to be undertaken on or after the date hereof.
8. Subject to the accuracy of the Investors’ representations in Section 3 of the Agreement,
the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares (and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof) in conformity with the terms of the Agreement constitute transactions
exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
This opinion is furnished to the Investors solely for their benefit in connection with the
purchase of the Shares, and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose
without our prior written consent. We assume no obligation to inform you of any facts,
circumstances, events or changes in the law that may arise or be brought to our attention after the
date of this opinion that may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.
