Securities Questionnaire or the Selling Securityholder Notice and
Questionnaire until such time as the Registration Statement is declared
effective; and (xii) the Investor has, in connection with its decision to
purchase the number of Securities set forth on the first page of the
Agreement, relied only upon the Company Information provided to the
Investor by the Company in contemplation of this offering and the
representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. Investor
understands that its acquisition of the Securities and the Shares has not
been registered under the Securities Act, or registered or qualified under
any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom,
which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature
of the Investor's investment intent as expressed herein.
The Investor acknowledges, represents and agrees that if it resells or
transfers the Securities or the Shares, it will do so only:
(a) to the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
(b) with respect to the Five-Year Warrants and, in the event the
Shares become eligible for resale or transfer under Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, the Shares, to a qualified institutional buyer in
compliance with Rule 144A;
(c) to an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3), (5), (6) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) that, prior
to such transfer, furnishes (i) to the Trustee, as registrar for the Notes,
a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Indenture,
(ii) to the Warrant Agent, as registrar for the Warrants, a signed letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the each of the Warrant
Agreements, or, as applicable, (iii) to the transfer agent for the
Company's Common Stock, a signed letter substantially in the form provided
by such transfer agent, each containing certain representations and
agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of the Securities and
Shares;
(d) outside the United States in compliance with Rule 904 under
the Securities Act;
(e) in accordance with the exemption from registration provided by
Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
(f) in accordance with another valid exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act; or
(g) in accordance with a registration statement that has been
declared effective under the Securities Act and which continues to be
effective at the time of such transfer.
The Investor agrees that, prior to such transfer, it will furnish to the
Company, and the Trustee, the Warrant Agent or the Transfer Agent, as
applicable, an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests (other than
with respect to a transfer pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act) and such certificates and other information as
they may reasonably require to confirm that any transfer by the Investor of
the Securities or the Shares complies with the foregoing restrictions and
is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
5.2 The Investor acknowledges, represents and agrees that it will,
and each subsequent holder will be required to, give each person to whom it
transfers Securities or Shares notice of any restrictions on transfer of
such Securities or Shares, if then applicable.
5.3 The Investor acknowledges, represents and agrees that no
action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United
States by the Company or the Placement Agents that would permit an offering
of the Securities and the Shares, or possession or distribution of offering
materials in connection with the issuance of the Securities and the Shares,
in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action for that purpose
is required. Each Investor outside the United States will comply with all
applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it
purchases, offers, sells or delivers Securities and Shares or has in its
possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own
expense. The Placement Agents are not authorized to make any representation
or use any information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase
and sale of the Securities and the Shares other than the Memorandum and the
documents incorporated therein by reference.
5.4 The Investor hereby covenants with the Company not to make any
sale of (i) the Securities without complying with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the Warrant
Agreements, as applicable, and without effectively causing the prospectus
delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and (ii) the
Shares without complying with the provisions of this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the Warrant Agreements, as
applicable, and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery
requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and the Investor
acknowledges that the Securities and Shares will be imprinted with a legend
that prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith. The Investor
acknowledges that, pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights
Agreement, there may occasionally be times when the Company, based on the
advice of its counsel, determines that it must suspend the use of the
Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as
an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company
and declared effective by the SEC or until the Company has amended or
supplemented such Prospectus.
5.5 The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, in compliance with
the Warrant Agreements, except in the case of a "Cashless Exercise" of the
Five-Year Warrants or the Five-Year Terminable Warrants that is in
compliance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and that is pursuant
to Section 10(b) of the Five-Year Warrant Agreement or the Five-Year
Terminable Warrant Agreement, as applicable, or in the case such Securities
were sold pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement covering
such Securities, until the end of the holding period under Rule 144(k) of
the Securities Act, unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, in
order to exercise the Warrants for Shares of Common Stock, such holder
must, among other things, execute and deliver a letter for the benefit of
the Company, substantially in the form included as Exhibit B to each of the
Warrant Agreements.
In compliance with the Indenture (with respect to Shares issued
upon the conversion of Notes) or the Warrant Agreements (with respect to
Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants), until the end of the holding
period under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, unless otherwise agreed by
the Company in writing, if a holder proposes to sell or transfer Shares
other than pursuant to Section 5.1(g) above (unless such Shares have been
issued pursuant to a valid exemption from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act upon conversion of Notes or exercise of Warrants
that have been transferred pursuant to Section 5.1(g) above), such
purchaser or transferee must execute and deliver a letter for the benefit
of the Company, substantially in the form included as Exhibit B to the
Indenture, if such Shares were issued upon conversion of Notes, or
substantially in the form included as Exhibit B to the appropriate Warrant
Agreement, if such Shares were issued upon exercise of the Warrants.
In addition to the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges and agrees
that, prior to any such exercise or transfer described in this Section 5.5,
it will furnish to the Company, and the Trustee, Warrant Agent or the
Transfer Agent, as applicable, an opinion of counsel if the Company so
requests (other than with respect to a transfer pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act) and such certificates and
other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that any
exercise by the Investor of the Warrants or transfer by the Investor of the
Shares complies with the foregoing restrictions and is being made pursuant
to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
5.6 The Investor further represents and warrants to, and covenants
with, the Company that (i) the Investor has full right, power, authority
and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
(ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors'
and contracting parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may
be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and
except as the indemnification agreements of the Investors herein may be
legally unenforceable.
5.7 The Investor's purchase of the Securities is based on the
Memorandum and discussions with the Company and the Placement Agents, and
not as a result of any other communication, notice, letter advertisement,
article, publication, news release, broadcast or other communication.
5.8 The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any
other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase
and sale of the Securities or Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors
as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in
connection with its purchase of the Securities and Shares.
6. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by

warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein shall survive the

Re: TiVo Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to TiVo Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") in connection with the sale to the investors
listed on Schedule A hereto (the "Investors") on the date hereof by the
Company of $51,750,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes") convertible into shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"),
warrants (the "Investor Five-Year Warrants") to purchase 2,536,766 shares
of Common Stock and units (the "Investor Units") consisting of warrants
(the "Investor One-Year Warrants") to purchase 3,843,582 shares of Common
Stock and warrants (the "Investor Five-Year Terminable Warrants" and,
together with the Investor Five-Year Warrants and the Investor One-Year
Warrants, the "Investor Warrants") to purchase 1,268,384 shares of Common
Stock, pursuant to Note, Warrant and Unit Purchase Agreements, each dated
as of August 23, 2001, between each Investor and the Company (collectively,
the "Purchase Agreement"). The Notes, the Investor Five-Year Warrants and
the Investor Units were offered to the Investors, on behalf of the Company,
by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc. ("Xxxxxxxxx"), Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Partners LLC
("Xxxxxx") and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Sutro Capital Markets, Inc. ("Sutro")
pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum, dated August 23, 2001,
including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the
"Memorandum"). An additional 145,834 warrants (the "Xxxxxxxxx Five-Year
Warrants," and together with the Investor Five-Year Warrants, the
"Five-Year Warrants") and 220,960 units (the "Xxxxxxxxx Units," and
together with the Investor Units, the "Units") consisting of 220,960
warrants (the "Xxxxxxxxx One-Year Warrants," and together with the Investor
One-Year Warrants, the "One-Year Warrants") and 72,917 warrants (the
"Xxxxxxxxx Five-Year Terminable Warrants," and, together with the Xxxxxxxxx
Five-Year Warrants and the Xxxxxxxxx One-Year Warrants, the "Xxxxxxxxx
Warrants," and the Xxxxxxxxx Five-Year Terminable Warrants, together with
the Investor Five-Year Terminable Warrants, the "Five-Year Terminable
Warrants," and the Five-Year Terminable Warrants together with the
Five-Year Warrants and the One-Year Warrants, the "Warrants") were issued
to Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to a Warrant and Unit Acquisition Agreement, dated as
of the date hereof, between the Company and Xxxxxxxxx (the "Xxxxxxxxx
Warrant Acquisition Agreement"). The Notes are being issued pursuant to an
Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (the "Indenture"), between the
Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (in such capacity, the
"Trustee"). The Five-Year Warrants are being issued pursuant to a Warrant
Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Five-Year Warrant Agreement")
by and between the Company and The Bank of New York, as warrant agent (the
"Warrant Agent"). The One-Year Warrants are being issued pursuant to a
Warrant Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "One-Year Warrant
Agreement") by and between the Company and The Bank of New York, as warrant
agent. The Five-Year Terminable Warrants are being issued pursuant to a
Warrant Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Five-Year Terminable
Warrant Agreement," and together with the Five-Year Warrant Agreement and
the One-Year Warrant Agreement, the "Warrant Agreements") by and between
the Company and The Bank of New York, as warrant agent. This opinion is
being rendered to you pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Warrant Agreements,
the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the
"Operative Documents." Other capitalized terms used herein without
definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.
As such counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations
and inquiries as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents
submitted to us as copies. As to facts material to the opinions, statements
and assumptions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, relied upon
oral or written statements and representations of officers and other
representatives of the Company and others. In addition, we have obtained
and relied upon such certificates and assurances from public officials as
we have deemed necessary.
We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction
only of the federal laws of the United States, the internal laws of the
State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL"), and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability
thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or,
in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal
law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.
Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "to the best of our
knowledge" or a similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that those
attorneys in this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with
the above transaction do not have current actual knowledge of the
inaccuracy of such statement. However, except as otherwise expressly
indicated, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to
determine the accuracy of any such statement, and no inference that we have
any knowledge of any matters pertaining to such statement should be drawn
from our representation of the Company.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth
herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:
1. The Company is a corporation and is validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power
and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its
business as described in the Memorandum. Based solely on certificates from
public officials, we confirm that the Company is qualified to do business
in California.
2. The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company and is the legally valid and binding agreement of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
The issuance and sale of the Notes and Investor Warrants by the Company
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Xxxxxxxxx
Warrants pursuant to the Xxxxxxxxx Warrant Acquisition Agreement will not
result in the violation by the Company of its Certificate of Incorporation
or Bylaws, or the Delaware General Corporation Law or any federal or New

any such Notes or Warrants is subject to a binding obligation to pay the
Company the balance of the purchase price for such Notes or Warrants.
The opinions rendered in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13
and 15 relating to the enforceability of the Purchase Agreement, the
Indenture, the Notes, the Warrant Agreements, the Warrants and the

exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or

might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon.
We have not been requested to express and, with your
knowledge and consent, do not render any opinion as to the applicability to
the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes of Section
548 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law (including, without
limitation, Article 10 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law) relating to
fraudulent transfers and obligations.

standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) has the
requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its

party constitutes its legally valid and binding agreement, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms; (iii) the Trustee is in
compliance, generally and with respect to acting as Trustee under the
Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations; and (iv) the Warrant
Agent is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as Warrant
Agent under the Warrant Agreements, with all applicable laws and
regulations. We express no opinion as to compliance by any parties to the
Operative Documents with any state or federal laws or regulations
applicable to the subject transaction because of the nature of their
business.
Our opinions set forth in paragraph 2 above are based upon our
consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our

This opinion is rendered only to you and is solely for your
