Certificates for the shares of Common Stock and the Warrants will be delivered by the Company to the Subscriber promptly
following the Closing (as herein defined).
1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Securities involves a high degree of risk in
that (i) the Company remains a development stage business with a limited operating history and may require substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (ii) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who
can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company;
1
(iii) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iv) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; and (v) in the event of a disposition,
the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment.
1.3 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Act”), as indicated by the responses to the questions contained in Section VII hereof, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the
economic risk and illiquidity of an investment in the Securities.
1.4 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (i) the Subscriber has prior
investment experience, including investment in non-listed and unregistered securities, or that the Subscriber has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by
the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf; (ii) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of an investment in the
Securities; and (iii) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk and illiquidity which the Subscriber assumes by investing in the Securities.
1.5 The Subscriber (i) hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of the Memorandum dated
May, 2001 (the “Memorandum”), and to the extent that specific filings of the Company with the SEC (as herein defined) under the Act or the Exchange Act (as herein defined) and exhibits thereto have not been specifically included in such
package, the Subscriber hereby acknowledges that it has had a reasonable opportunity to review such filings on the SEC’s XXXXX database or otherwise (the Memorandum and all of the foregoing filings and exhibits of the Company are referred to
herein as the “Offering Package”); (ii) hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which the Subscriber has requested or desired
to know; (iii) has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering; and (iv) has received any additional
information which the Subscriber has requested.
1.6 (a) In making the decision to invest in the Securities, the Subscriber
has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Package. To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon the advice of appropriate professionals regarding the investment, tax
and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and its purchase of the Securities hereunder. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent has not supplied any information for inclusion in the Offering Package other than
information furnished in writing to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically for inclusion in the Offering Package relating to the Placement Agent, that the Placement Agent has no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the
Offering Package and that the Subscriber has not relied upon the independent investigation or verification, if any, which may have been undertaken by the Placement Agent.
(b) The Subscriber represents that (i) the
Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Placement Agent (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship and (ii) no Securities were offered or
sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith the Subscriber did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine
or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar, meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general
advertising.
1.7 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) because of the Company’s representations that this Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act pursuant to Sections 3(b), 4(2) and
4(6) thereof and Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available.
2
1.8 The Subscriber understands that none of the Securities have been registered under the Act by
reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act which depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for the
Subscriber’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof to others. The Subscriber, if an entity, was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Securities. The Subscriber understands that Rule 144
promulgated under the Act requires, among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the
Act.
1.9 The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to
register the Securities under the Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth in Section V. The Subscriber consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Securities out of the
Subscriber’s name only when the Subscriber’s request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act or any
applicable state “blue sky” laws (collectively, “Securities Laws”).
1.10 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document
evidencing the Securities indicating that such Securities have not been registered under the Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in
this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records and issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such
Securities.
1.11 The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and, if such
Subscriber is an individual, hereby gives authority to the Company to call Subscriber’s bank or place of employment (in a call in which the Placement Agent participates) or otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and it is
further agreed that upon their mutual agreement the Placement Agent and the Company reserve the unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part of the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept
subscriptions for Securities and to close the Offering to the Subscriber at any time.
1.12 The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by the
Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence if the Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
1.13 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate,
statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to purchase the Securities subscribed for hereby. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in
accordance with its terms.
1.14 If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee
benefit plan, individual retirement account, Xxxxx Plan, or other entity, then (a) it is authorized and qualified to become an investor in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such
entity to do so, and (b) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.
1.15 The Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a registered representative of a National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm in Section 7.4 below.
1.16 The Subscriber represents and warrants that it has not engaged, consented to nor authorized
any broker, finder or intermediary to act on its behalf, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or intermediary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company
from and against all fees, commissions or other payments owing to any such person or firm acting on behalf of such Subscriber hereunder.
3
1.17 The Subscriber acknowledges that (a) the Company has engaged, consented to and authorized
the Placement Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) the Company shall pay the Placement Agent a commission and reimburse the Placement Agent’s expenses in accordance with the Placement Agency Agreement
(as defined in Section 5.1(c) below), and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber from and against all fees, commissions or other payments owing by the Company to the Placement Agent or any other person or firm acting on behalf
of the Company hereunder and (c) registered representatives of the Placement Agent and/or its designees (including, without limitation, registered representatives of the Placement Agent and/or its designees who participate in the Offering and sale
of the securities sold in the Offering) will be paid a portion of the commissions paid to the Placement Agent including a portion of the Placement Warrants (as defined in Section 5.1(c) below).
1.18 The Subscriber, whose name appears on the signature line below, shall be the beneficial
owner of the Securities for which such Subscriber subscribes.
1.19 The Subscriber agrees that from the time the Subscriber first received the Offering Package
until a point in time equal to the earlier of (i) the date that the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 5.2(a)) is declared effective by the SEC or (ii) four months from the date of the Offering Package, the Subscriber has not and shall
not, directly or indirectly, through related parties, affiliates or otherwise, (A) sell “short” or “short against the box” (as those terms are generally understood) any equity security of the Company or (B) otherwise engage in
any transaction that involves hedging of the Subscriber’s position in any equity security of the Company.

amendment or supplement thereto;
(f) during the Registration Period, deliver to
each Holder, without charge, (i) as soon as practicable (but in the case of the annual report of the Company to its stockholders, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company) one copy of: (A) its annual report to its
stockholders, if any (which annual report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America by a firm of certified public accountants of recognized standing); (B)
if not included in substance in its annual report to stockholders, its annual report on Form 10-K (or similar form); (C) a copy of the full Registration Statement (excluding exhibits); (ii) upon reasonable request, all exhibits excluded by the
parenthetical to the immediately preceding clause (C); and (iii) such other documents as may be reasonably requested.
(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, register or qualify or obtain an exemption for the offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any such Holders reasonably request in writing, provided that the
Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, and do any
and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;
(h) cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends to the extent not required at such time and in such denominations and registered in
such names as Holders may request at least five (5) business days prior to sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement;
(i) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated
by Section 5.4(b)(v) above, the Company shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of
the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; and
(j) use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make generally available to the Holders not later than 45 days (or 90 days if the fiscal quarter is the fourth fiscal quarter) after the end of its fiscal quarter in which the first anniversary date
of the effective date of the Registration Statement occurs, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.
5.5 The Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any
registration pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.
5.6 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each
Holder, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each person controlling such Holder and each such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, with respect to which any registration, qualification or compliance has been
sought
10
pursuant to this Agreement, against all claims, losses, expenses, costs, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing
incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 5.6(c) below), arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement,
prospectus or offering circular, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Act or the Exchange Act, and shall reimburse each Holder, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each person controlling such Holder and each such underwriter, for reasonable legal and other expenses, in connection with investigating or
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as and when incurred; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of such registration statement, prospectus or offering circular; provided that the
Company shall not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is related to the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 5.7 hereof, and except that the
foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the
amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement becomes effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Act or in the prospectus subject to completion under Rule 434 of the Act,
which together meet the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Act (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder, any such underwriter or any such controlling person, if a copy of the
Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Act and the Final Prospectus
would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall reimburse each Holder, upon such Holder’s demand, for all reasonably necessary expenses
and costs which are incurred, as and when incurred, by such Holder as a result of the indemnification claims described in this Section 5.6(a). Such demand may be made from time to time prior to resolution of the claim. In no event shall the Company
be liable for the expenses and costs of more than one attorney on behalf of the Holders unless in the reasonable judgement of a Holder, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between the Holders with respect to such
claims, in which case the Company shall reimburse the Holders for additional attorneys.
(b) Each Holder will severally, 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 of the Registrable Securities and
each person who controls the Company and each underwriter of the Registrable Securities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against all claims, losses, expenses, costs, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any
of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 5.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration
statement, prospectus or offering circular, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, each underwriter of the Registrable Securities and each person
controlling the Company and each underwriter of the Registrable Securities for reasonable legal and any other expenses or costs reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as
incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder
and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of such registration statement, prospectus or offering circular;
11
provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus or
offering circular was not made available to the Holder and such current copy of the prospectus or offering circular would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, expense, costs, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
no event shall a Holder be liable for any such claims, losses, expenses, costs, damages or liabilities in excess of the proceeds received by such Holder in that offering, except in the event of fraud by such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under
this Section 5.6 (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 with its own counsel at such Indemnified Party’s expense unless the named
parties to any proceeding covered hereby (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company or any others the Company may designate and one or more Indemnified Persons, and representation of the Indemnified Persons and such other parties by
the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its
written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 5.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, cost 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 which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. 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 or which should have been 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.
5.7 (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.7(b)(ii) below,
upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, such prospectus will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, each Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the registration statement contemplated by Section 5.2 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all
copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
(b) Any Holder which owns five percent (5%) or
more (and with respect to 5.7(b)(ii), “any Holder”) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock shall suspend, upon request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and prospectus
contemplated by Section 5.2 during (i) any period not to exceed one 180-day period within any one 12-month period the Company requires in connection with an underwritten offering of equity securities and (ii) any period, not to exceed two 45-day
periods within any twelve month period, when the Company determines in good faith that offers and sales pursuant thereto should not be made by reason of the presence of material undisclosed circumstances or
12
developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in such a prospectus is premature, would have an adverse effect on the Company or is otherwise
inadvisable.
(c) As a condition to the inclusion of its
Registrable Securities, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder, the securities of the Company owned beneficially or of record by such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may
request in writing because it is required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section V.
(d) With respect to any sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section V, each Holder hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under
the Act to be satisfied.
(e) Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the
Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement described in this Section are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the stock certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing such Registrable Securities is
accompanied by a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that (i) the Registrable Securities have been sold in accordance with such Registration Statement and (ii) the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been
satisfied.
(f) Each Holder shall not take any action with
respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to such registration statement, which would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.
(g) At the end of the period during which the
Company is obligated to keep the Registration Statement current and effective as described above, the Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement and the shares underlying the Placement Warrants shall discontinue sales
of shares pursuant to such Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by such Registration Statement which remain unsold.
5.8 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations
of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts:
(a) to make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Act, at all times;
(b) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, to furnish to such Holder upon any reasonable request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Act, and of the Exchange Act, and a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company,
and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
5.9 With the written consent of the Company and the Holders holding a majority of the
Registerable Securities that are then outstanding, any provision of this Section V may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or
amended. Upon the effectuation of each such waiver or amendment, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holders, if any, who have not previously received notice thereof or consented thereto in writing.
5.10 The rights and obligations of the Holders under this Section V may not be assigned or
transferred to or assumed by any transferee or assignee except (i) to a transferee that acquires at least 20% of such Holder’s
13
Registerable Securities or (ii) to an Affiliate or limited or general partner of a Holder; provided that such transfer was not in violation of this Agreement or the
Securities Laws.
