8
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.
3.27 Investment Company. The Company is not and is not controlled by or affiliated with an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
4. Representation and Warranties of BMS. BMS represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
4.1 This Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement each constitute BMS’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
4.2 BMS is purchasing the Shares for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). BMS understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws by reason of a specific exemption therefrom that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.
4.3 BMS has discussed the Company and its plans, operations and financial condition with the Company’s officers and has received all such information as BMS deems necessary and appropriate to enable it to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in the Shares. BMS has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to BMS’s inquiries.
4.4 BMS realizes that the purchase of the Shares will be a highly speculative investment. BMS is able, without impairing BMS’s financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of BMS’s investment. BMS recognizes that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and the investment in the Company involves substantial risks. BMS understands all of the risks related to the purchase of the Shares. By virtue of BMS’s experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, BMS is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of BMS’s investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect BMS’s own interests.
4.5 BMS understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, BMS understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares except as otherwise provided in the Investor Rights Agreement. BMS is aware of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. BMS understands that the Shares will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits the transfer of the Shares unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
4.6 BMS represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
9
4.7 BMS understands that while management forecasts, if any, were made in good faith, such forecasts may be inaccurate and operating results could differ dramatically and materially from the results forecast by management.
5. Conditions to Closing of BMS. BMS’s obligations to purchase the Shares at the Closing are, at the option of BMS, subject to (i) the execution and delivery of the License Agreement by the Company, (ii) the execution and delivery by the Company, BMS and the other parties thereto of the Investor Rights Agreement, (iii) the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of all covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions under the License Agreement that are required to be performed or complied with by it on or before the effectiveness of such agreement, (iv) the truthfulness of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 hereof and (v) the receipt of an opinion from Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, special counsel to the Company, in substantially the form of Exhibit D.
6. Conditions to Closing of the Company. The Company’s obligations to issue and sell the Shares at the Closing are, at the option of the Company, subject to (i) the execution and delivery of the License Agreement by BMS, (ii) the execution and delivery by the Company, BMS and the other parties thereto of the Investor Rights Agreement, (iii) the satisfaction or waiver by BMS of all covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions under the License Agreement that are required to be performed or complied with by it on or before the effectiveness of such agreement and (iv) the truthfulness of the BMS’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 hereof.

7.3 Successors and Assigns.

7.8 California Corporate Securities Law. THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM THE QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102, OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE.

Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and BMS. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.10 shall be binding upon BMS and each transferee of the Shares (or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof), each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.
7.11 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (b) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (c) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
