(b) if, within twelve (12) months following the closing of a transaction which constitutes a Change of Control, the Company terminates the Purchaser’s Services without Cause or a Constructive Termination occurs, then all of the then Unvested Shares held by the Purchaser will become Vested Shares immediately prior to such termination event, and the Company will have no Right of Repurchase with respect to any of the Shares; or

3. Transferability; Escrow.
3.1 Restrictions on Transfer. The Purchaser agrees not to transfer any Shares except as permitted by that certain Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, dated as of , 2003, by and among the Company and the parties set forth on Exhibit A and Exhibit B thereto, as it may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for transfers of Unvested Shares to the ancestors, descendants or spouse of the Purchaser, or to trusts for the benefit of such persons or the Purchaser (provided that the transferee has agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions on transfers by Purchasers under this Agreement), the Purchaser may not dispose of or transfer any Unvested Shares, and any such attempted disposition or transfer shall be null and void.
3.2 Escrow of Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Escrow Instructions in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Shares issued under this Agreement shall be held by the Escrow Agent (as defined in such Joint Escrow Instructions) along with a stock assignment executed by the Purchaser in blank in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
4. Restrictions on Resale of Shares.
4.1 Legends. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Shares are not registered under the Act, and that under the Act and other applicable laws the Purchaser may be required to hold such Shares for an indefinite period of time. Each stock certificate representing the Shares shall bear the following legends:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES SHALL BE INVALID UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, SUCH REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT.
3
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES. PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SUCH AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY HAS A RIGHT TO REPURCHASE SUCH SECURITIES AND AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY TO VOTE SUCH SECURITIES UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
4.2 Market Standoff. The Purchaser agrees that if so requested by the Company or any representative of the underwriters in connection with registration of a public offering of any securities of the Company under the Act, the Purchaser shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during the 180 day period following the effective date of such registration statement. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of such 180 day period.
5. Company Enforcement.
5.1 Stop-Transfer Orders. The Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. The Company shall not be required to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been transferred.
6. Representations and Acknowledgments of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that:
6.1 Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for the Purchaser’s own account, and not directly or indirectly for the account of any other person. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with the Act and any applicable state law regulating securities.
6.2 Access to Information. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of the Company with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The Purchaser has had access to such financial and other information as is necessary in order for the Purchaser to make a fully informed decision as to investment in the Company, and has had the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to which the Purchaser has had access.
4
6.3 Pre-Existing Relationship. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that the Purchaser has either (i) a pre-existing relationship with the Company or one or more of its officers or directors consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and duration which enable the Purchaser to be aware of the character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of the Company or the officer or director with whom such relationship exists or (ii) such business or financial expertise as to be able to protect the Purchaser’s own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares.
6.4 Speculative Investment. The Purchaser’s investment in the Company represented by the Shares is highly speculative in nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in part; the amount of such investment is within the Purchaser’s risk capital means and is not so great in relation to the Purchaser’s total financial resources as would jeopardize the personal financial needs of the Purchaser in the event such investment were lost in whole or in part.
6.5 Unregistered Securities.
(a) The Purchaser must bear the economic risk of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Act and therefore cannot and will not be sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register any of the Shares under the Act. The Company has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, will become available and any such exemption pursuant to Rule 144, if available at all, will not be available unless: (i) a public trading market then exists in the Company’s common stock, (ii) adequate information as to the Company’s financial and other affairs and operations is then available to the public, and (iii) all other terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied.
(b) Transfer of the Shares has not been registered or qualified under any applicable state law regulating securities and therefore the Shares cannot and will not be sold unless they are subsequently registered or qualified under any such act or an exemption therefrom is available. The Company has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register or qualify any of the Shares under any such act. The Company has made no representations, warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from any such act will become available.
7. Tax Advice. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has not relied and will not rely upon the Company or the Company’s counsel with respect to any tax consequences related to the ownership, purchase, or disposition of the Shares. The Purchaser assumes full responsibility for all such consequences and for the preparation and filing of all tax returns and elections which may or must be filed in connection with such Shares.
5
8. No Commitment. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes an agreement that the Purchaser will be employed or retained by the Company for any term and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser serves “at will”.
9. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, or if not, then on the next business day; (iii) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one day after deposit with a nationally (or internationally) recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices to the Company shall be sent to the Company’s principal place of business. All notices to other parties to this Agreement shall be sent to the address as set forth on the signature page or at such other address as such party may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other parties hereto; provided, however, that registered or certified mail shall not be used to effectuate any such notice to addresses outside the United States.
10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives and successors of the Company and of the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Purchaser may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement. The Company’s rights under this Agreement shall be freely assignable.
11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of California by residents of the State of California.
12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and contains the entire agreement of the parties pertaining to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings. Any previous agreement between the Company and Purchaser relative to the subject matter hereof, including without limitation the Prior Agreement, is superseded by this Agreement.
13. Severabilility. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or the rights of the parties hereunder.
14. Adjustments. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be interpreted insofar as practicable to account for any stock combination, stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction occurring after the effective date of this Agreement.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
