the Purchasers as follows:
3.1 ORGANIZATION AND STANDING. The Company is a corporation duly
organized and validly existing under, and by virtue of, the laws of the State of

said State. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to own
and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently
conducted. The Company is not qualified to do business as a foreign corporation
in any jurisdiction, and the failure to be so qualified will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business as now conducted. The Company has made
available to the Purchasers copies of its Articles of Incorporation (the
"Articles of Incorporation") and Bylaws, each as amended to date ("Bylaws").
Such copies are true, correct and complete and contain all amendments through
the date hereof.
3.2 SUBSIDIARIES. The Company does not presently control, directly

offered and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is currently convertible into one
share of Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B, Series C and Series E

shares of Common Stock have been authorized for issuance upon the exercise of
employee stock options under the 1988 Stock Option Plan, 1991 Incentive Stock
Option Plan, and 1992 Stock Option Plan, respectively, pursuant to which options
to purchase an aggregate of 189,800 shares are outstanding, (c) 100,000 shares
of Common Stock have been authorized for issuance under the Company's 1992
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which options to purchase
33,000 shares are outstanding, and (d) 200,000 shares of Common Stock have been
authorized for issuance under the Company's 1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
pursuant to which no rights are outstanding. Except as set forth herein or as
contemplated by this Agreement, no subscription, warrant, option or other right
(including without limitation, preemptive rights or rights of first refusal) to
purchase or acquire any shares of any class of capital stock of the Company or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock is authorized
or outstanding. The Company is under no duty to redeem or to repurchase any
shares of any class or series of its capital stock.
Attached to the Schedule of Exceptions is an accurate list of the record
holders of the Company's outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock, and of
options and warrants to purchase Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this
Agreement, which list accurately reflects the shares of Common Stock held of
record by employees of the Company that are subject to repurchase by the Company
pursuant to the various stock purchase plans under which they were issued. The
Company has made available to the Purchasers copies of each stock purchase
agreement or stock option plan of the Company under which Common Stock has been
or may be issued, along with copies of the standard forms of all agreements
required under such plans as a condition to issuance of stock or options
thereunder.
3.4 CORPORATE POWER; AUTHORIZATION. The Company has all requisite
corporate power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to sell and issue the
Shares and to carry out and perform all of its obligations hereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the
issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares and the Conversion Stock have been
duly authorized by all requisite corporate action. This Agreement constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
and the availability of equitable remedies, and (ii) the enforceability of the
indemnification provisions of Section 7.10 of this Agreement to the extent that
such provisions may be limited by public policy or applicable laws. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and compliance with the
provisions hereof, and the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares and the
Conversion Stock by the Company do not materially conflict with, or result in a
material breach or violation of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a material default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or
passage of time, or both, would result in a material default) under, or result
in the creation or imposition of any material lien pursuant to the terms of, the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or any material statute,

Conversion Stock presently required for full conversion of the Series F
Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement has been duly and

encumbrances.

company) either directly or indirectly, in any entity, including, without
limitation thereto, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, proprietorship,

Exceptions, no employee, shareholder, officer or director of the Company, or
their spouses or children, is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company
indebted to them.
3.16 REPRESENTATIONS. This Agreement, the Financial Statements, and
any document, statement, certificate or schedule furnished or to be furnished by
the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with transactions contemplated
hereby, when taken as a whole, do not or will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
3.17 INTANGIBLE PROPERTY. The Company has taken all reasonable
security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all
patents, licenses, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights,
proprietary rights, trade secrets, know-how, inventions, designs, processes and
technical data required to conduct its business. The Company, to its knowledge,

secrets or other proprietary rights.
3.18 EMPLOYEES. The Company does not have any collective bargaining
agreements with any of its employees and the Company is not aware of any labor
union organizing activity pending or threatened against the Company. To the
Company's knowledge, no employee is obligated under any agreement or judgment
that would conflict with such employee's obligation to use his best efforts to
promote the interests of the Company or would conflict with the Company's
business as conducted or proposed to be conducted. To the Company's knowledge,
no employee is in violation of the terms of any employment agreement,
proprietary information agreement, noncompetition agreement or any other
agreement relating to such employee's relationship with any previous employer.
Except as set forth in this Agreement or in the Schedule of Exceptions, the
Company is not a party to or bound by any currently effective employment
contract, deferred compensation agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit
sharing plan, retirement agreement, or other employee compensation agreement.
3.19 INSURANCE. The Company has fire and casualty insurance policies
with financially sound and reputable insurers, with extended coverage,
sufficient in amount to allow it to replace any of its properties which might be
damaged or destroyed.
3.20 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Except for the registration rights granted

(as defined in paragraph 7.2
7.
12
below) pursuant to the Series B Agreement, the Series C and D Agreement and the
Series E Agreement, the Company is not under any obligation to register any of
its presently outstanding securities or any of its securities which may
hereafter be issued pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act").
3.21 SECURITIES LAWS; GOVERNMENTAL CONSENT. The offer, sale and
issuance of the Shares and the Conversion Stock as provided in this Agreement,
are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Act and are exempt from registration or qualification under
the applicable California state registration or qualification requirements.
Except for the notices required or permitted to be filed after the Closing Date

Corporations, which notices the Company will file on a timely basis, 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, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the offer,
sale or issuance of the Shares and the Conversion Stock, other than such as may
be required under the securities laws of states other than California.

(i) contracts for the purchase of supplies and services that were entered into
in the ordinary and usual course of business, that do not involve any of the
Company's officers, directors or affiliates (as that term is defined in Rule 405
under the Act), provided that such contracts do not involve more than $100,000,
and do not extend for more than one year beyond the date hereof, and (ii)
contracts terminable at will by the Company on no more than 30 days' notice
without cost or liability to the Company.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASERS. Each Purchaser, severally
and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company with respect to his, her
or its purchase of the Securities as follows:
4.1 BINDING OBLIGATION. This Agreement constitutes the Purchaser's
valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
4.2 INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. By virtue of its experience in evaluating
and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies
similar to the Company, the Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to
protect its own interests.
4.3 INVESTMENT INTENT. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for
investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution thereof, and the Purchaser has no present
intention of selling or distributing the Securities. The Purchaser understands
that the Securities to be purchased have not been registered under the Act
8.
13
by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act
that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment
intent as expressed herein.
4.4 LIMITATION ON DISPOSITION. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the
Act, or unless an exemption from such registration is available. If the
Purchaser is a resident of the United States, such Purchaser is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act that permit limited resale of
securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions. If the Purchaser is not a resident of the United States,
such Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Regulation S promulgated under the
Act that permit resale of securities purchased in a private placement except to
U.S. persons or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person during the period of
one year after such purchase and thereafter permit limited resale of such
securities to U.S. persons subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
4.5 LACK OF PUBLIC MARKET. The Purchaser understands that no public
market now exists for any of the Securities issued by the Company, and that it
is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Securities.
4.6 DISCUSSIONS WITH MANAGEMENT. The Purchaser has had an
opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management, and financial affairs
with the Company's management and to review the Company's facilities and, to the
best of the Purchaser's knowledge, to obtain any additional information
necessary to verify the accuracy of the information provided to the Purchaser.
4.7 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Purchaser agrees that he, she or it will
keep confidential and will not disclose or divulge any confidential, proprietary
or secret information which such Purchaser may obtain from the Company pursuant
to financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company
hereunder, or pursuant to visitation or inspection rights granted hereunder
unless such information is known, or until such information becomes known
(through no act or omission of the Purchaser), to the public or unless the
Company gives its written consent to the Purchaser's release of such
information; except that no such written consent shall be required (and the
Purchaser shall be free to release such information) if such information is to
be provided to the Purchaser's lawyer or accountant, or to an officer, director,
or general partner of a Purchaser, provided that each such person agrees to keep
such information confidential pursuant to the terms of this paragraph 4.7.
4.8 SUITABILITY OF U.S. PURCHASERS. If the Purchaser is a resident
of the United States, and unless otherwise indicated on Exhibit A, Purchaser is
an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated
under the Act by virtue of falling within any of the following categories:
(1) A bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Act, or a savings
and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of
the Act, whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity; a broker or
dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the
9.

qualification or compliance with respect to shares of Registrable Securities
having an expected aggregate offering price of at least $5,000,000, the Company
will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
qualification or compliance to all other Holders and Other Investors; and
17.
22
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect
such registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation,
appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities
laws of up to fifteen states and appropriate compliance with applicable
regulations issued under the 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 or Other Securities of any Holders or Other Investors joining in such
request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within 20
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
Provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any
action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to
this paragraph 7.5:
(A) In any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification or compliance unless
the Company is already subject to service in such
jurisdiction and except as may be required by the
Act;
(B) Prior to six months after the effective date of
the Company's first registered public offering of
its stock;
(C) 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 six (6) months
immediately following the effective date of, any
registration statement pertaining to securities of
the Company (other than a registration of
securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with
respect to an employee benefit plan), provided
that the Company is actively employing in good
faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective;
(D) After the Company has effected one such
registration pursuant to this paragraph 7.5(a),
and such registration has been declared or ordered
effective;
(E) If the Company shall furnish to such Holders and
Other Investors 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 at such time, then the Company's obligation
to use its best efforts to register, qualify or
comply under this
18.
23
paragraph 7.5 shall be deferred for a period not
to exceed 120 days from the date of receipt of
written request from the Initiating Holders;
provided, however, that the Company may not make
such certification more often than once every
twelve (12) months.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practicable, after receipt of the request or requests of
the Initiating Holders and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days
after receipt of such request.
(b) UNDERWRITING. In the event that a registration pursuant to
paragraph 7.5 is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders and Other Investors as part of the notice
given pursuant to paragraph 7.5(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder or
Other Investor to registration pursuant to paragraph 7.5 shall be conditioned
upon such Holder's or Other Investor's participation in the underwriting
arrangements required by this paragraph 7.5, and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities or Other Investor's Other Securities in the underwriting
to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders and other shareholders
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, but subject to the reasonable
approval by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this paragraph 7.5, if the managing underwriter advises
the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the
Registrable Securities or Other Securities to be included in such registration;
provided, however, that with respect to any offering involving an underwriting
of Registrable Securities being sold by the Holders pursuant to this paragraph
7.5, then no such limitation shall be made with respect to the shares of such
Holders' Registrable Securities until shares of Other Securities of the Company
to be included in such registration (but for this provision) have been reduced
or excluded. The Company shall so advise all holders of Registrable Securities
and Other Securities, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities and
Other Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting (in
accordance with the principle of allocation set forth in the preceding sentence)
shall be allocated among all participants thereof (except those Holders and
other shareholders who have indicated to the Company their decision not to
distribute any of their Registrable Securities or Other Securities through such
underwriting) in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts
of Registrable Securities and Other Securities held by such Holders and Other
Investors at the time of filing the registration statement. No Registrable
Securities or Other 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 or Other Investor to the nearest 100 shares.
19.
24
If any Holder of Registrable Securities or Other Investor 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 and/or other securities so withdrawn shall
also be withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable Securities and/or
Other Securities shall not be transferred in a public distribution prior to 90
days after the effective date of such registration, or such other period of time
as the underwriters may require.
7.6 COMPANY REGISTRATION.
(a) NOTICE OF REGISTRATION. If at any time or from time to time the
Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its own
account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than (i) in
connection with the Company's initial public offering, or (ii) a registration
relating solely to employee benefit plans, or (iii) a registration relating
solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, 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 20 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 as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to paragraph 7.6(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to paragraph 7.6 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 paragraph 7.6, if the managing
underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number
of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable
Securities or other securities to be included in such registration; provided,
however, that with respect to any offering involving an underwriting of shares
being sold pursuant to the exercise of "demand" registration rights
substantially similar to those provided in Section 7.5 by the holders of any
series of Preferred Stock of the Company other than Series F Preferred Stock,
then no such limitation shall be made with respect to the shares of such other
series of Preferred Stock until all other shares of Preferred Stock of the
Company to be included in such registration, other than pursuant to the exercise
of such demand registration rights, have been reduced or excluded. The Company
shall so advise all Holders and other holders distributing their securities
through such underwriting and the number of shares of Registrable Securities
(included in accordance with the principle of allocation
20.
25
set forth in the preceding sentence) and other securities that may be included
in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders and
such other holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of Registrable Securities and other securities held by such Holders and
such other holders at the time of filing the registration statement. To
facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the
Company may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or holder to the
nearest 100 shares. If any Holder or holder disapproves of the terms of any such
underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the
Company and the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from
such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not be
transferred in a public distribution prior to 90 days after the effective date
of the registration statement relating thereto, or such other period of time as
the underwriters may require.
(c) RIGHT TO TERMINATE REGISTRATION. The Company shall have the
right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
paragraph 7.6 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any
Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.
7.7 REGISTRATION ON FORM S-3.
(a) If Holders of at least 10% of the Registrable Securities 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 shares of the Registrable Securities
the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $500,000, and the Company
is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities
for such an offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form and to
cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as the
Holder or Holders may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to effect more than one registration pursuant to this
paragraph 7.7 in any twelve month period. The substantive provisions of
paragraph 7.5(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated under this
paragraph 7.7.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
obligated to take any action pursuant to this paragraph 7.7: (i) in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act; or (ii) if the
Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request of the initiating
Holders, 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, an offering solely to employees or any other registration
which is not appropriate for the registration of Registrable Securities)
provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (iii)
during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company's
estimated date of filing of,
21.
26
and ending on the date six (6) months immediately following, the effective date
of any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other
than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to
an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in
good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective; or (iv) after the Company has effected two such registrations
pursuant to this paragraph 7.7, and such registration has been declared or
ordered effective; or (v) if the Company shall furnish to such Holder 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 at such
time, 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, provided
that the Company may not make such certification more than once every twelve
months.
7.8 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with (i) one registration pursuant to paragraph 7.5, and (ii) all
registrations pursuant to paragraph 7.6 and (iii) two registrations pursuant to
paragraph 7.7 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to
securities registered on behalf of the Holders, including without limitation
those incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to paragraph 7.7, shall
be borne by the Holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number
of shares so registered.
7.9 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration,
qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this paragraph
7, 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:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become and remain effective for at least ninety (90)
days or until the distribution described in the registration statement has been
completed;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission 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 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such registration statement;
(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;
(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 up to fifteen states,
22.
27
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;
(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 (which each
Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under);
(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 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing; and
(g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph 7, on the date
that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in
connection with a registration pursuant to this paragraph 7, (i) an opinion,
dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of
such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters
in an underwritten public offering to such effects as counsel for the Company
and counsel for the managing underwriter shall agree, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and, if requested, to the Holders requesting registration
of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the
independent accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily
given by independent accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities.
7.10 INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its
officers and directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, with respect to which registration,
qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this paragraph 7, and
each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 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, 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 by the Company of any
federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company in
connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the
Company
23.
28
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, 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.
(b) Each Holder and Other Investor will, if Registrable
Securities and Other Securities held by such Holder and Other Investor 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 Act, and each other such
Holder or such Other Investor, each of its officers and directors and each
person controlling such Holder or such Other Investor within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 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 or such Other Investors, 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, in each case to the extent, but only
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 or such Other Investor and stated to be
specifically for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of
each Holder or Other Investor under this subsection (b) shall be limited in an
amount equal to the public offering price of the shares sold by such Holder or
such Other Investor, unless such liability arises out of or is based on willful
conduct by such Holder or such Other Investor. A Holder or Other Investor will
not be required to enter into any agreement or undertaking in connection with
any registration under this paragraph 7 providing for any indemnification or
contribution on the part of such Holder or such Other Investor greater than the
Holder's or Other Investor's obligations under this paragraph 7.10(b).
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
paragraph 7.10 (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
24.
29
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 the Indemnifying Party shall bear the expense of
independent counsel for the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party
reasonably determines that representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest, 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 paragraph 7 unless the failure to give such notice is materially
prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such action and
provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for
matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or separate and different
defenses. 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.
7.11 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 Registrable Securities held by
them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may
request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this paragraph 7.
7.12 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any
time permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without
registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of
the Company, 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 Act, at all times after the
effective date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;
(b) Use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (at any time after it
has become subject to such reporting requirements);
(c) So long as a Purchaser owns any Restricted Securities, to
furnish to the Purchaser forthwith upon request a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144
(at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first registration
statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general
public) and of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (at any time
after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and
documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or
reasonably obtainable by the Company as a Purchaser may
25.
30
reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the
Commission allowing a Purchaser to sell any such securities without
registration.
7.13 TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights to cause the
Company to register securities granted Purchasers under paragraphs 7.5, 7.6 and
7.7 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer
or assignment of Registrable Securities by a Purchaser provided that: (i) such
transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities
laws, and (ii) such assignee or transferee acquires at least 39,865 Shares
and/or the Conversion Stock into which the Shares are convertible.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to cause the Company to register
securities may be assigned, in connection with a distribution by such Purchaser,
to any partner, former partner, or the estate of any such partner without
compliance with item (ii) above, provided written notice thereof is promptly
given to the Company.
7.14 STANDOFF AGREEMENT. Each Holder agrees, in connection with the
Company's initial public offering of the Company's securities that, upon request
of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the
Company's securities, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any
option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock of the
Company (other than those included in the registration) without the prior
written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for
such period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) from the
effective date of such registration as may be requested by the underwriters;
provided, that all other Holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Company's
outstanding voting equity securities and all of the officers and directors of
the Company who own stock of the Company also agree to such restrictions.
7.15 AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Without the written consent
of the holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities
and Other Securities, taken together as a group, the Company shall not amend
this paragraph 7, or enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective
holder of any securities of the Company which either (i) would allow such holder
or prospective holder to include such securities as Registrable Securities under
this Agreement or (ii) does not include provisions substantially similar to
those contained in paragraphs 7.5(b) and 7.6(b) with respect to the allocation
of Registrable Securities and Other Securities in an underwritten public
offering if market factors require limitation on the number of such securities
to be included in such an offering.
8. MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. With the written consent of the record
holders of more than 50% of the Securities then outstanding, the obligations of
the Company and the rights of the holders of the Securities under this Agreement
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either
retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or
indefinitely) and with the same consent the Company, when authorized by
resolution of its Board of Directors, may enter into a supplemental agreement
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement;
26.
31
provided, however, that no such waiver or supplemental agreement shall (i)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required
to consent to any waiver or supplemental agreement, or (ii) increase any
obligations of the holders of the Securities under this Agreement, without the
consent of the record or beneficial holders of all of the Securities. Upon the
effectuation of each such waiver, consent, agreement, amendment or modification,
the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the record holders of
the Securities whose consent thereto in writing was not previously solicited.
Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated orally, but only by a signed statement in writing.
8.2 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements
between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within
California.
8.3 SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by any Purchaser and
the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. All statements as to
factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or
on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the
Company hereunder as of the date of such certificate or instrument.
8.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the
parties hereto.
8.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including the exhibits
attached hereto and schedules delivered pursuant hereto) constitutes the
complete, final and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties
with regard to the subjects hereof.
8.6 NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be effective upon receipt and shall be in writing and
may be delivered in person, by telecopy, electronic mail, overnight delivery
service or U.S. mail, in which event it may be mailed by first-class, certified
or registered, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to a Purchaser, at such
Purchaser's address set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers, or at such other
address as such Purchaser shall have furnished the Company in writing, or, until
any such holder so furnishes an address to the Company, then to and at the
address of the last holder of such shares who has so furnished an address to the
Company, or (b) if to the Company, at its address set forth at the beginning of
this Agreement, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to
the Purchasers and each such other holder in writing.
8.7 SEPARABILITY OF AGREEMENTS; SEVERABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT. The
Company's agreement with each of the Purchasers is a separate agreement and the
sale of the Securities to each of the Purchasers is a separate sale. Unless
otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights of each Purchaser hereunder are
several rights, not rights jointly held with any
27.
32
of the other Purchasers. Any invalidity, illegality or limitation on the
enforceability of the Agreement or any part thereof, by any Purchaser whether
arising by reason of the law of the respective Purchaser's domicile or
otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the validity, legality or
enforceability of this Agreement with respect to other Purchasers. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
8.8 FINDER'S FEES.
(a) The Company (i) represents and warrants that it has
retained no finder or broker other than the Placement Agent in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) hereby agrees to
indemnify and to hold the Purchasers harmless of and from any liability for
commission or compensation in the nature of a finder's fee to any placement
agent, finder or broker or other person or firm (and the costs and expenses of
defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Company,
or any of its employees or representatives, are responsible, provided, however,
that the Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the commission
payable to the Placement Agent may be deducted from funds paid to the Company or
wired to an escrow account by the Purchasers in payment of the purchase price
for the Shares.
(b) Each Purchaser (i) represents and warrants that such
Purchaser has retained no finder or broker in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold
the Company and the other Purchasers harmless of and from any liability for any
commission or compensation in the nature of a finder's fee to any broker or
other person or firm (and the costs and expenses of defending against such
liability or asserted liability) for which such Purchaser, or any of his
employees or representatives, are responsible.
8.9 INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL. Except as otherwise provided in
paragraph 4.7, each Purchaser acknowledges that the information received by it
pursuant hereto is confidential and for its use only, and such Purchaser will
not use such information in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
reproduce, disclose or disseminate such information to any other person, except
in connection with the exercise of rights under this Agreement, unless the
Company has made such information available to the public generally, such
information has otherwise been made generally available through no act or
omission of Purchaser, or such Purchaser is required to disclose such
information by a governmental body.
8.10 CALIFORNIA CORPORATE SECURITIES LAW. THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES
WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE
COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE
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
28.
33
QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102, OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS
CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON
SUCH QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.
8.11 TITLES AND SUBTITLES. The titles of the paragraphs and
subparagraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are
not to be considered in construing this Agreement.
8.12 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one instrument.
8.13 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. It is agreed that no delay or omission to
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Purchasers, upon any breach
or default of the Company under this Agreement, shall impair any such right,
power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or
default, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default
thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be
deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter
occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of
any kind or character by a Purchaser of any breach or default under this
Agreement, or any waiver by a Purchaser of any provisions or conditions of this
Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth in writing and that all remedies, either under this
Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded to a Purchaser, shall be cumulative
and not alternative.
8.14 UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PURCHASERS. The determination by each
of the Purchasers to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by
such Purchaser independently of the other Purchasers, and independently of any
statements or opinions as to the advisability of such purchase or as to the
properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company which may have been made or given by the other Purchasers or by any
agent or employee of the other Purchasers. In addition, it is acknowledged by
each of the Purchasers that the other Purchasers have not acted as such
Purchaser's agent in connection with making its investment hereunder and that
the other Purchasers will not be acting as such Purchaser's agent in connection
with monitoring such Purchaser's investment hereunder.
8.15 STOCK SPLITS. All references to the number of shares and prices
in this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split,
stock dividend or other change in the capital stock which may be made by the
Company after the Closing Date.

therefor, pay the reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses of one counsel
representing the Purchasers.

Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx ("WSG&R) acting as special counsel hereunder, as special
counsel to the other Purchasers, and as special counsel to Wertheim Xxxxxxxx &
Co. Incorporated as the Placement Agent. In connection therewith, each Purchaser
consents and understands that (i) WSG&R has acted and is currently acting as
counsel to the Placement Agent and that WSG&R may continue to act as counsel to
the Placement Agent in the future, and (ii) as a result of the representation
referred to in clause (i), the Placement Agent and each, if not all, of the
Purchasers may have interests that differ, and WSG&R may have obtained
confidential information regarding the Placement Agent, or certain Purchasers,
which it is unable to disclose to the Purchasers, or the other Purchasers, as
the case may be.

EXHIBIT B
AMENDED AND RESTATED
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
IL FORNAIO (AMERICA) CORPORATION
XXXXXXX X. XXXXX and XXXX X. XXXXXX certify that:
1. They are the President and the Secretary, respectively, of Il Fornaio
(America) Corporation, a California corporation.
2. The articles of incorporation of this corporation are amended and
restated to read in full as follows:
ONE. The name of the Corporation is Il Fornaio (America) Corporation.
TWO. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation
Law of the State of California other than the banking business, the trust
company business or the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated by
the California Corporations Code.
THREE. (A) The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of
shares, designated "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock," respectively. The
number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued is 15,000,000 and the
number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is 3,500,000.
(B) The Preferred Stock may be divided into such number of
series as the Board of Directors may determine. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 6, the Board of Directors is authorized to determine and alter the
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon the
Preferred Stock or any series thereof with respect to any wholly unissued class
or series of Preferred Stock, and to fix the number of shares of any series of
Preferred Stock and the designation of any such series of Preferred Stock. The
Board of Directors, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution
or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares
constituting any series, may increase or decrease (but not below the number of
shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series
subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.
1.
43
(C) Five hundred forty-two thousand two hundred twenty-five
(542,225) shares of Preferred Stock are designated as shares of "Series B
Preferred Stock." Five hundred twenty-one thousand seven hundred thirty-nine
(521,739) shares of Preferred Stock are designated as shares of "Series C
Preferred Stock." Five hundred twenty-one thousand seven hundred thirty-nine
(521,739) shares of Preferred Stock are designated as shares of "Series D
Preferred Stock." Four hundred fifty thousand (450,000) Shares of Preferred
Stock are designated as Shares of "Series E Preferred Stock." Eight hundred
twenty-five thousand (825,000) Shares of Preferred Stock are designated as
Shares of "Series F Preferred Stock."
(D) The relative rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions of the Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C
Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and
the Series F Preferred Stock shall be in all respects identical, except for and
subject to the following provisions:
1. DIVIDENDS. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C
Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and
the Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of any assets at the time
legally available therefor, any dividends or other distributions paid with
respect to the Common Stock of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") in the same
amount per share as holders of such Common Stock are entitled to receive, for
the number of shares into which each share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F
Preferred Stock is convertible. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, the
Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred
Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock shall be payable in preference and prior
to any payment of any dividend on the Common Stock of the Corporation. No
dividends (other than those payable solely in Common Stock) shall be paid on the
Common Stock during any fiscal year of the Corporation until all declared
dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the
Series D Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F
Preferred Stock are paid or set aside. The right to dividends on shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred
Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock shall not
be cumulative, and no right shall accrue to holders of Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or
Series F Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that dividends on said shares are
not declared in any prior period.
2. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.
a. PREFERRED STOCKS.
(1) PREFERENCE. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Series
B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E
Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out
of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of
any nature, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or
surplus
2.
44
funds of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation, an
amount equal to $4.6106 per share, $5.75 per share, $5.75 per share, $8.77 per
share and $10.25 per share, respectively, plus a further amount equal to any
dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, and no more. If upon such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the
Corporation are insufficient to provide for the full preferential amounts to the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D
Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, then
those assets of the Corporation available to be distributed to the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock,
Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of Preferred Stock in accordance with the preferential
amounts due them.
(2) CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. A consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or a series of related
transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is
disposed of, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
within the meaning of this subparagraph 2.a.
b. NONCASH DISTRIBUTIONS. If any of the assets of the Corporation
are to be distributed other than in cash under this paragraph 2 or for any
purpose, then the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall promptly engage
independent competent appraisers to determine the value of the assets to be
distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. The Corporation
shall, upon receipt of such appraiser's valuation, give prompt written notice to
each holder of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock of the appraiser's
valuation.
3. VOTING RIGHTS.
a. COMMON STOCK. Holders of each share of Common Stock shall be
entitled to one vote per share and to vote together as a single class.
b. PREFERRED STOCK. Holders of each share of Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock could be
converted, respectively, on the record date for the vote or written consent of
shareholders and, except as otherwise required by law, shall have voting rights
and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. Holders of
each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to voting rights,
except as otherwise required by law. The holder of each share of Series B
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders' meeting in
accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation and shall vote together as a
single class with holders of the Common Stock upon the election of directors and
upon any other matter submitted to a vote of shareholders, except those matters
required by law to be submitted to a class vote and as required under paragraph
6. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting
rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares of
3.
45
Common Stock into which shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock held by each holder
could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half
rounded upward to one).
4. CONVERSION.
a. SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK AND SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK. Each share
of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible as
follows:
(1) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each share of Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into 1.262
shares of Common Stock (adjusted from one (1) share of Common Stock effective
March 23, 1992), subject to adjustments as provided in subparagraph 4.a(3)
below, as of the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which
the first, if any, of the following occurs:
(a) PUBLIC OFFERING. The closing of a firm commitment
public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock the aggregate
gross proceeds of which equal or exceed $7,500,000 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any successor agency or body performing similar functions
(hereinafter referred to as a "Public Offering"); or"
(b) ACQUISITION. The consummation of (i) any merger or
consolidation between the Corporation and any other corporation which is not
prior to that time an affiliate of the Corporation or (ii) the sale, lease or
exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to or with
any person where either one of the following conditions is met (such
transactions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above being hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Acquisitions"):
(A) such conversion to Common Stock is approved by
a vote of the majority of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting on an
as-converted basis in accordance with paragraph 3.b. above; or
(B) the fair market value of Common Stock
(appropriately adjusted for subdivisions and combinations of shares of Common
Stock), as determined by the Board of Directors, into which the Series B
Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock is to be converted is at least
$12.10 per share (adjusted from $15.27 effective March 23, 1992) and shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time for subdivisions and combinations of
shares of Common Stock.
For purposes of subparagraph 4.a(l) (b) the term
"person" shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, association or
other entity, and the term "affiliate" shall have the meaning given in Rule
12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 as in effect on December 15, 1989. The Board of Directors
4.
46
shall have the power and duty to determine conclusively whether any conditions
set forth in this subparagraph 4.a have been satisfied.
(c) CONVERSION MECHANICS. A holder of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock whose shares have been converted
shall deliver the certificate(s) representing such shares to the Corporation or
its duly authorized agent (or if such certificates have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, such holder shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the
Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such conversion) specifying the place where the Common Stock
issued in conversion shall be sent. The endorsement of the share certificate
shall be in form satisfactory to the Corporation or such agent, as the case may
be. The conversion shall be deemed to have occurred (whether or not certificates
representing such shares are surrendered or indemnity agreements with respect to
such shares are executed) as of the close of business on the day next preceding
the day on which the first, if any, of the events set forth in subparagraphs
4.a(l) (a) or 4.a(l) (b) occurs, and all of the holders' rights with respect to
such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall cease
as of such date.
(2) OPTIONAL CONVERSION.
(a) CONVERSION RATIO. Each share of Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall, subject to adjustments as provided in
subparagraph 4.a(3) below, be convertible into 1.262 shares of Common Stock
(adjusted from one (1) share of Common Stock effective March 23, 1992) at the
option of the holder thereof, at any time.
(b) CONVERSION MECHANICS. A holder of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares
shall deliver to the Corporation or its duly authorized agent the certificate(s)
representing such shares (or if such certificates have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, such holder shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the
Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such conversion) accompanied by a written request to convert
specifying the number of shares to be converted, the place where the Common
Stock issued in conversion thereof shall be sent, and the name or names in which
such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be
issued. The endorsement of the share certificate and the request to convert
shall be in form satisfactory to the Corporation or such agent, as the case may
be. Such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the close of business
on the day next preceding the date of such delivery of such shares of Series B
Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock to be converted. The person or
persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall
be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock
as of said date.
(3) ADJUSTMENTS. If the Corporation shall at any time
subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue as a dividend
on shares of Common Stock other shares of Common Stock, the number of shares
into which each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
is convertible immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such
dividend shall be proportionately increased; and in case the Corporation shall
at
5.
47
any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares
into which each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
is convertible immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision,
dividend or combination, as the case may be.
(4) RESERVATION OF SHARES, ETC.
(a) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Corporation shall at all
times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding and the full
number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all shares of
Series C Preferred Stock that may potentially be outstanding as a result of the
future conversion of all shares of Series D Preferred Stock from time to time
outstanding into such shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall
from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
increase the authorized amount of its shares of Common Stock if at any time the
authorized number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be
sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.
(b) CANCELLATION OF SHARES OF SERIES. All certificates
evidencing Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock surrendered for
conversion shall be appropriately canceled on the books of the Corporation, and
the shares so converted shall be restored to the status of authorized but
unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation.
(c) BOARD DETERMINATION. The Board of Directors shall
have the power and the duty to determine conclusively whether any conditions set
forth in this subparagraph 4.a have been satisfied.
b. SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock
shall be convertible as follows:
(1) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Immediately prior to the automatic
conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to subparagraph 4.a(l)
above, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted
into one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as
provided in subparagraph 4.b(3) below, as of the close of business on the day
next preceding the day on which the first, if any, of the following occurs:
(a) PUBLIC OFFERING. The closing of a Public Offering as
defined in subparagraph 4.a(1)(a) above; or
(b) ACQUISITION. The consummation of an Acquisition as
defined in subparagraph 4.a(1)(b) above.
6.
48
(c) CONVERSION MECHANICS. A holder of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock whose shares have been converted shall deliver the
certificate(s) representing such shares to the Corporation or its duly
authorized agent (or if such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed,
such holder shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to
indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such
conversion) specifying the place where the Series C Preferred Stock issued in
conversion thereof shall be sent. The endorsement of the share certificate shall
be in form satisfactory to the Corporation or such agent, as the case may be.
The conversion shall be deemed to have occurred (whether or not certificates
representing such shares are surrendered or indemnity agreements with respect to
such shares are executed) immediately prior to the close of business on the day
next preceding the day on which the first, if any, of the events set forth in
subparagraphs 4.a(1)(a) or 4.a(1)(b) occurs, and all of the holders' rights with
respect to such shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall cease as of such date.
(2) OPTIONAL CONVERSION.
(a) CONVERSION RATIO. Each share of Series D Preferred
Stock shall, unless prohibited by law or regulation and subject to adjustments
as provided in subparagraph 4.b(3) below, be convertible into one (1) share of
Series C Preferred Stock at the option of the holder thereof, at any time.
(b) CONVERSION MECHANICS. A holder of shares of Series D
Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares shall deliver to the Corporation
or its duly authorized agent the certificate(s) representing such shares (or if
such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, such holder shall execute
an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from
any loss incurred by it in connection with such conversion) accompanied by a
written request to convert specifying the number of shares to be converted, the
place where the Series C Preferred Stock issued in conversion thereof shall be
sent, and the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or
certificates for Series C Preferred Stock to be issued. The endorsement of the
share certificate and the request to convert shall be in form satisfactory to
the Corporation or such agent, as the case may be. Such conversion shall be
deemed to have occurred as of the close of business on the day next preceding
the date of such delivery of such shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be
converted. The person or persons entitled to receive the Series C Preferred
Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such Series C Preferred Stock as of said date.
(3) ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) NO ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN COMMON STOCK. The
shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Series C
Preferred Stock, which shares of Series C Preferred Stock are subject to
adjustment pursuant to, and upon the events described in, subparagraph 4.a(3).
Therefore, upon such events, it is unnecessary to provide for, and the
Corporation shall not make, any further direct adjustment of the number of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock into which the Series D Preferred Stock is
convertible.
7.
49
(b) ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGE IN SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK.
In the event of any stock split, stock dividend or other recapitalization that
affects the Series C Preferred Stock without similarly affecting the Common
Stock so as to trigger an adjustment pursuant to subparagraph 4.a(3), the number
of shares of Series C Preferred Stock into which each share of Series D
Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such event shall be
equitably adjusted, effective at the close of business on the date of such
event.
(4) RESERVATION OF SHARES, ETC.
(a) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Corporation shall at all
times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the Series D Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock deliverable upon conversion of all shares of Series D Preferred Stock from
time to time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, increase the authorized amount of its
shares of Series C Preferred Stock (and, consequently, its shares of Common
Stock) if at any time the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock (and, consequently, its Common Stock) remaining unissued shall not be
sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series D Preferred
Stock at the time outstanding.
(b) CANCELLATION OF SHARES OF SERIES. All certificates
evidencing Series D Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be
appropriately canceled on the books of the Corporation, and the shares so
converted shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued Preferred
Stock of the Corporation.
(c) BOARD DETERMINATION. The Board of Directors shall
have the power and the duty to determine conclusively whether any conditions set
forth in this subparagraph 4.b have been satisfied.
c. SERIES E AND SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK. Each share of Series E
Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock shall be convertible as follows:
(1) AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each share of Series E Preferred
Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, respectively, shall automatically be
converted into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is determined by dividing $8.77 and $10.25, respectively, by the Series
E Conversion Price and Series F Conversion Price, respectively, determined as
hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion, as of the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which the first, if any, of the
following occurs:
(a) PUBLIC OFFERING. The closing of a Public Offering as
defined in subparagraph 4.a(1)(a) above; or
(b) ACQUISITION. The consummation of an Acquisition as
defined in subparagraph 4.a(l)(b) above.
8.
50
(c) CONVERSION PRICE. The price at which shares of
Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred
Stock (the "Series E Conversion Price") shall initially be $6.949287 per share
(adjusted from $8.77 per share effective March 23, 1992). The price at which
shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of the Series F
Preferred Stock (the "Series F Conversion Price") shall initially be $8.122029
per share.
(d) CONVERSION MECHANICS. A holder of shares of Series E
Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock whose shares have been converted
shall deliver the certificate(s) representing such shares to the Corporation or
its duly authorized agent (or if such certificates have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, such holder shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the
Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such conversion) specifying the place where the Common Stock
issued in conversion shall be sent. The endorsement of the share certificate
shall be in form satisfactory to the Corporation or such agent, as the case may
be. The conversion shall be deemed to have occurred (whether or not certificates
representing such shares are surrendered or indemnity agreements with respect to
such shares are executed) as of the close of business on the day next preceding
the day on which the first, if any, of the events set forth in subparagraphs
4.c(l)(a) or 4.c(l)(b) occurs, and all of the holders' rights with respect to
such shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as
appropriate, shall cease as of such date.
(2) OPTIONAL CONVERSION.
(a) CONVERSION. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock
or Series F Preferred Stock, as appropriate, shall be convertible, at the option
of the holder thereof, at any time into shares of Common Stock at the then
effective Series E Conversion Price or Series F Conversion Price, as
appropriate.
(b) CONVERSION MECHANICS. A holder of shares of Series E
Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares
shall deliver to the Corporation or its duly authorized agent the certificate(s)
representing such shares (or if such certificates have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, such holder shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the
Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such conversion) accompanied by a written request to convert
specifying the number of shares to be converted, the place where the Common
Stock issued in conversion thereof shall be sent, and the name or names in which
such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be
issued. The endorsement of the share certificate and the request to convert
shall be in form satisfactory to the Corporation or such agent, as the case may
be. Such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the close of business
on the day next preceding the date of such delivery of such shares of Series E
Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as appropriate, to be converted.
The person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such Common Stock as of said date.
9.

Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred
Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.
(iv) "ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK" shall
mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to subparagraph 4.c(3)(c)
deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other
than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:
(A) upon conversion of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F
Preferred Stock.
(B) to officers, directors or employees of,
or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to a stock grant, option plan or
purchase plan or other employee stock incentive program (collectively, the
"Plans") approved by the Board of Directors;
(C) as a dividend or distribution on Series
B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E
Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock;
(D) by way of dividend or other distribution
on shares of Common Stock excluded from the definition of Additional Shares of
Common Stock by the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C) or on shares of Common
Stock so excluded.
(b) NO ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE. No adjustment in
the Series E Conversion Price or Series F Conversion Price, respectively, of a
particular share of Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock,
respectively, shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of
Common Stock unless the consideration per share for an Additional Share of
Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the
Series E Conversion Price or Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, in
effect on the date
10.
52
of, and immediately prior to such issue, for such share of Series E Preferred
Stock or Series F Preferred Stock.
(c) DEEMED ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
(i) OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. In the
event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue
Date 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 and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock
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
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless
the consideration per share (determined pursuant to subparagraph 4.c(3)(e)
hereof) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the Series
E Conversion Price or Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, in effect on
the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the
case may be, and provided further, that in any such case in which Additional
Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
(A) no further adjustment in the Series E
Conversion Price or Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, shall be made
upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities;
(B) if such Options or Convertible
Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for
any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or
decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Series E Conversion Price or the
Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, 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 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 (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Series
E Conversion Price or the Series F Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock
previously issued upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock or the Series
F Preferred Stock, as appropriate);
(C) 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 Series E Conversion Price or the Series F
Conversion Price, as appropriate, computed upon the original issue thereof (or
upon the occurrence of a record date with respect
11.
53
thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such
expiration, be recomputed as if:
(1) in the case of Convertible
Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common
Stock 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 all such Options, whether
or not exercised, 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
(2) in the case of Options for
Convertible Securities, the only 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 Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually
received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not
exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the
Corporation (determined pursuant to subparagraph 4.c(3) (e)) upon the issue of
the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually
exercised;
(D) no readjustment pursuant to clause (B)
or (C) above shall have the effect of increasing the Series E Conversion Price
or the Series F Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the
Series E Conversion Price or the Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, on
the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Series E Conversion Price or the
Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, that would have resulted from any
issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment
date and such readjustment date.
(d) ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE UPON ISSUANCE OF
ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event this Corporation shall issue
Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock
deemed to be issued pursuant to subparagraph 4.c(3)(c)) without consideration or
for a consideration per share less than the Series E Conversion Price or the
Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, in effect on the date of and
immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Series E Conversion
Price or the Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, shall be reduced,
concurrently with such issue, to a price determined by multiplying the Series E
Conversion Price or the Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, 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 Stock so issued would purchase at
the Series E Conversion Price or the Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate;
and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number
12.
54
of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued; provided, however, the
Series E Conversion Price or the Series F Conversion Price shall in no event be
less than $4.56 per share (which was adjusted from $5.75 effective March 23,
1992) (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and similar events) and
provided further that, for the purposes of this subparagraph 4.c(3)(d) all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Series E
Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, as appropriate, and all outstanding
Convertible Securities, and upon exercise of all outstanding Options bearing an
exercise price which is lower than the price at which the Additional Shares of
Common Stock were issued (or deemed to be issued), shall be deemed to be
outstanding, and immediately after any Additional Shares of Common Stock are
deemed issued pursuant to subparagraph 4.c(3)(c) such Additional Shares of
Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(e) DETERMINATION OF CONSIDERATION. For purposes of this
paragraph 4.c(3) the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of
any Additional Shares of Common Stock 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 excluding
amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;
(B) insofar as it consists of property other
than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as
determined by the Board of Directors in the good faith exercise of its
reasonable business judgment; and
(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common
Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the
Corporation for consideration which covers both, the proportion of such
consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as
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 Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to subparagraph 4.c(3)(c)(i),
relating to Options and Convertible Securities, 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 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
13.
55
(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.
(f) ADJUSTMENTS TO SERIES E CONVERSION PRICE AND SERIES
F CONVERSION PRICE FOR STOCK DIVIDENDS AND FOR COMBINATIONS OR SUBDIVISIONS OF
COMMON STOCK. In the event that this Corporation at any time or from time to
time after the Original Issue Date shall declare or pay, without consideration,
any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to
acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock) or in the
event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated
by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then the Series E Conversion Price and the Series F Conversion Price for
any series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such event shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased
or increased, as appropriate. In the event that this Corporation shall declare
or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any
right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Corporation shall
be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares
equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to
acquire Common Stock.
(g) ADJUSTMENTS FOR RECLASSIFICATION AND REORGANIZATION.
If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock and
the Series F 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 in subparagraph 4.c(3)(f) above), the Series
E Conversion Price and the Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, then in
effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or
reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Series E Preferred
Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock, as appropriate, shall be convertible
into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would
otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of Common Stock that
would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series
E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock, as appropriate, immediately
before that change.
(4) NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of
its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek 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 paragraph 4.c 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 the Series E Preferred Stock and
the Series F Preferred Stock against impairment.
14.
56
(5) CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of the Series E Conversion Price or the Series F
Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph 4.c, the Corporation, at its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series E Preferred Stock or
Series F Preferred Stock, as appropriate, 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 Series E Preferred Stock or Series F
Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like
certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the
Series E Conversion Price or the Series F Conversion Price, as appropriate, 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 Series E Preferred Stock or the Series F Preferred Stock, as
appropriate.
(6) RESERVATION OF SHARES, ETC.
(a) RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Corporation shall at all
times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series E
Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all shares of Series E Preferred
Stock and Series F Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. The
Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, increase the authorized amount of its shares of Common Stock if at
any time the authorized number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued
shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series
E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.
(b) CANCELLATION OF SHARES OF SERIES. Series E Preferred
Stock and Series F Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be
appropriately canceled on the books of the Corporation, and the shares so
converted shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued Preferred
Stock of the Corporation.
(c) BOARD DETERMINATION. The Board of Directors shall
have the power and the duty to determine conclusively whether any conditions set
forth in this paragraph 4.c have been satisfied.
5. NOTICES.

Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock
in a name, other than that in which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or

Investors Listed on the
Attached Schedule I
RE: IL FORNAIO (AMERICA) CORPORATION SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK FINANCING.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Il Fornaio (America) Corporation, a California
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the issuance and sale of 730,664
shares of the Company's Series F Preferred Stock (the "Shares"), to the
Purchasers under the Series F Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
January 27, 1993 (the "Agreement"). We are rendering this opinion pursuant to
Section 5.1(b) of the Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized
terms used herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the
representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made
pursuant to the Agreement by the various parties and originals or copies
certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates,
opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. Where we render
an opinion "to the best of our knowledge" or concerning an item "known to us" or
our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon (i) an
inquiry of attorneys within this firm who perform legal services for the
Company, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by an officer of the Company
covering such matters, and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that we
specifically set forth herein.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the genuineness and authenticity of
all signatures on original documents; the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of
certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and
delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery
by the Company of the Agreement), where authorization, execution and delivery
are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents. We have also assumed:
that all individuals executing and delivering documents had the legal capacity
to so execute and deliver; that you have received all documents you were to
receive under the Agreement; that the Agreement is an obligation binding upon
you;
63
Series F Preferred Stock Investors
Listed on the Attached Schedule I
January 27, 1993
Page 2
if you are a corporation or other entity, that you have filed any required
California franchise or income tax returns and have paid any required California
franchise or income taxes; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or
understandings among the parties to the Agreement that would modify or interpret
the terms of the Agreement or the respective rights or obligations of the
parties thereunder.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United
States of America and the laws of the State of California. We express no opinion
as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to
the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above
are applicable to the subject matter hereof. We are not rendering any opinion as
to compliance with any antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities,
or to the sale or issuance thereof.
With regard to our opinion in paragraph 4 below, we have examined and relied
upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, to the effect that the
consideration for all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was
received by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable
Board of Directors resolutions and any plan or agreement relating to the
issuance of such shares, and we have undertaken no independent verification with
respect thereto.
With regard to our opinion in paragraph 4 below, we express no opinion (a) with
respect to the 80,895 shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock listed
on Attachment A to the Schedule of Exceptions attached to the Agreement (the
"Schedule of Exceptions"), as to whether such shares are outstanding, duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid or nonassessable as a result of the
effect of the absence from the Company's records of documentation of waiver or
satisfaction of certain preemptive rights as specified in the Schedule of
Exceptions attached to the Agreement, or (b) the effect of the failure of the
stock records of the Company to include executed assignments with respect to
75,922 shares of Common Stock.
On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing
qualifications, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation
in good standing under the laws of the State of California.
64
Series F Preferred Stock Investors
Listed on the Attached Schedule I
January 27, 1993
Page 3
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own or lease its property
and assets and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted and,
to the best of our knowledge, is qualified as a foreign corporation to do
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in the United States in
which the ownership of its property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification and where any statutory fines or penalties or any corporate
disability imposed for the failure to qualify would materially and adversely
affect the Company, its assets, financial condition or operations.
3. The Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as rights
to indemnity in Sections 7.10 and 8.8 of the Agreement may be limited by
applicable laws and except as enforcement may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar
laws affecting creditors' rights, and subject to general equity principles and
to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific
performance.
4. The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 15,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, without par value, of which 1,472,059 shares are issued and
outstanding, and (b) 3,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, without par value, of
which (i) no shares are designated Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) 542,225 shares
have been designated Series B Preferred Stock, 535,484 of which shares are
issued and outstanding, (iii) 521,739 shares have been designated Series C
Preferred Stock, 391,340 of which shares are issued and outstanding, (iv)
521,739 shares have been designated Series D Preferred Stock, 130,399 of which
shares are issued and outstanding, (v) 450,000 shares have been designated
Series E Preferred Stock, 441,099 of which shares are issued and outstanding,
and (vi) 825,000 shares have been designated Series F Preferred Stock, none of
which shares are issued and outstanding (excluding the shares issued under the
Agreement). The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B, Series C,
Series D, Series E and Series F Preferred Stock are as stated in the Company's
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The outstanding shares of Common
Stock and Preferred Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are
fully paid and nonassessable. The Shares have been duly authorized, and upon
issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares
have been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery against payment
65
Series F Preferred Stock Investors
Listed on the Attached Schedule I
January 27, 1993
Page 4
therefor in accordance with the terms of the Shares, will be validly issued,
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. To the best of our knowledge, except
as disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions, there are no options, warrants,
conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other rights presently outstanding
to purchase any of the authorized but unissued capital stock of the Company,
other than (i) the conversion privileges of the Series B, Series C, Series D,
and Series E Preferred Stock, (ii) rights created in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (iii) 103,680, 126,200 and 300,000
shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance upon the exercise of employee
stock options under the 1988 Stock Option Plan, 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan
and 1992 Stock Option Plan, respectively, (iv) 100,000 shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance under the Company's 1992 Non-Employee Directors' Stock
Option Plan and (v) 200,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under
the Company's 1992 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
5. The execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company and the issuance
