and warranties made hereunder, the following representations are true and
complete as of the date of the Initial Closing. The Disclosure Schedule shall
be
arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and
subsections contained in this Section

and the
disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall
qualify other sections and subsections in this Section
2
only to
the extent it is readily apparent from a reading of the disclosure that such
disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.
2.1. Organization,
Good Standing, Corporate Power and Qualification.
The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power
and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed
to
be conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in
good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have
a
Material Adverse Effect.
2.2. Capitalization.
The
authorized capital of the Company consists, immediately prior to the Initial
Closing, of:
3
(a) Forty
Million (40,000,000) shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
“Common
Stock”),
Four
Million (4,000,000) shares of which are issued and outstanding immediately
prior
to the Initial Closing. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have

duly authorized, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in compliance
with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
(b) Six
Million (6,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, Four Million (4,000,000) of
which
shares have been designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock, none of which are issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Closing, and Two Million
(2,000,000) of
which
shares have been designated Series A-2 Preferred Stock, all of which are issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Closing. The Series A-1
Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock are sometimes referred to
together as the Series A Preferred Stock. The rights, privileges and preferences
of the Series A Preferred Stock are as stated in the Restated Certificate and
as
provided by the general corporation law of the jurisdiction of the Company’s
incorporation.
(c) Except
as
set forth herein, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including
conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal or similar rights)
or agreements, orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from the Company
any
shares of Common Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or Series A-1
Preferred Stock.
2.3. Subsidiaries.
The
Company does not currently own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest
in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability
company, association, or other business entity. The Company is not a participant
in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.
2.4. Authorization.
All
corporate action required to be taken by the Company’s Board of Directors and
stockholders in order to authorize the Company to enter into the Transaction
Agreements, and to issue the Shares at the Closings and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Shares, has been taken or will be taken prior
to
the Initial Closing. All action on the part of the officers of the Company
necessary for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements, the
performance of all obligations of the Company under the Transaction Agreements
to be performed as of the Closings, and the issuance and delivery of the Shares
has been taken or will be taken prior to the Initial Closing. The Transaction
Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid
and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance,
or
other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement
of
creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable
remedies, or (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in
the
Investors’ Rights Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement may be limited by
applicable federal or state securities laws.
2.5. Valid
Issuance of Shares.
The
Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms and for
the
consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions
on transfer under certain of the Transaction Agreements, applicable state and
federal securities laws and liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by
the
Purchaser. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Purchaser in
Section
3
of this
Agreement, and subject to the filings described in Section
2.6(ii)
below,
the Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares has
been duly reserved for issuance, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms
of the Restated Certificate, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions
on
transfer under certain of the Transaction Agreements, applicable federal and
state securities laws and liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the
Purchaser. Based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in
Section
3
of this
Agreement, and subject to Section
2.6
below,
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares will be issued in
compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
4
2.6. Governmental
Consents and Filings.
Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Purchaser in
Section
3
of this
Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state
or
local governmental authority is required on the part of the Company in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, except for (i) the filing of the Restated Certificate, which will
have been filed as of the Initial Closing, and (ii) filings pursuant to
Regulation D of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, which
have been made or will be made in a timely manner.
2.7. Litigation.
There
is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, complaint, charge or
investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened (i)
against the Company or any officer, director or Key Employee of the Company
arising out of their employment or relationship with the Company; (ii) that
questions the validity of the Transaction Agreements or the right of the Company
to enter into them, or to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Agreements; or (iii) that would reasonably be expected to have,
either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the
Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors or Key
Employees is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order,
writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality (in the case of officers, directors or Key Employees, such
as
would affect the Company). There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
by the Company pending or which the Company intends to initiate.
2.8. Intellectual
Property.
The
Company owns or possesses or can acquire on commercially reasonable terms
sufficient legal rights to all Company Intellectual Property without, to the
Company’s knowledge, any conflict with, or infringement of, the rights of
others. To the Company’s knowledge, (i) no product or service marketed or sold
(or proposed to be marketed or sold) by the Company violates or will violate
any
license or infringes or will infringe any intellectual property rights of any
other party and (ii) no product or services currently marketed or sold by a
third party infringes any intellectual property rights of the Company. Other
than with respect to commercially available software products under standard
end-user object code license agreements, there are no outstanding options,
licenses, agreements, claims, encumbrances or shared ownership interests of
any
kind relating to the Company Intellectual Property, nor is the Company bound
by
or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect
to
the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets,
licenses, information, proprietary rights and processes of any other Person.
The
Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has
violated or, by conducting its business, would violate any of the patents,
trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets, mask works
or
other proprietary rights or processes of any other Person. The Company has
obtained and possesses valid licenses to use all of the software programs
present on the computers and other software-enabled electronic devices that
it
owns or leases or that it has otherwise provided to its employees for their
use
in connection with the Company’s business. To the Company’s knowledge, it will
not be necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees or consultants
(or Persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by
the
Company. Each employee and consultant has assigned or will assign to the Company
all intellectual property rights he or she owns that are related to the
Company’s business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.
5
2.9. Compliance
with Other Instruments.
The
Company is not in violation or default (i) of any provisions of its Restated
Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree,
(iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage, or (iv) under any lease, agreement,
contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound that
is required to be listed on the Disclosure Schedule, or,
to
its knowledge, of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse
Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Agreements will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or
constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either
(i)
a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree,
contract or agreement or (ii) an event which results in the creation of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license
applicable to the Company.
2.10. Agreements;
Actions.
(a) Except
for the Transaction Agreements and as disclosed on Schedule
C,
there
are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts or proposed
transactions to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound that
involve (i) obligations (contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to, the
Company in excess of $25,000, (ii) the license of any patent, copyright,
trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right to or from the Company,
(iii)
the grant of rights to manufacture, produce, assemble, license, market, or
sell
its products to any other Person, (iv) any limit on the Company’s exclusive
right to develop, manufacture, assemble, distribute, market or sell its products
in any territory, or (v) indemnification by the Company with respect to
infringements of proprietary rights. Neither the Company nor, to its knowledge,
any third party to any agreement disclosed on Schedule
C
is in
default with respect to such agreement.
(b) The
Company has not (i) declared or paid any dividends, or authorized or made any
distribution upon or with respect to any class or series of its capital stock,
(ii) incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed or incurred any other
liabilities individually or in the aggregate in excess of $25,000, (iii) made
any loans or advances to any Person, other than ordinary advances for travel
expenses, or (iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets
or
rights, other than the sale of its inventory in the ordinary course of business.
For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) of this Section
2.10,
all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same Person (including Persons the
Company has reason to believe are affiliated with each other) shall be
aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts
of
such subsection.
6
(c) The
Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other
Person.
2.11. Certain
Transactions.
(a) Other
than (i) standard employee benefits generally made available to all employees,
(ii) standard director and officer indemnification agreements approved by the
Board of Directors (including, without limitation, the Indemnification
Agreements), and (iii) the purchase of shares of the Company’s capital stock and
the issuance of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in
each instance, approved in the written minutes of the Board of Directors,
complete copies of which have been provided to Purchaser, there are no
agreements, understandings or proposed transactions between the Company and
any
of its officers, directors, consultants or Key Employees, or any Affiliate
thereof.
(b) The
Company is not indebted, directly or indirectly, to any of its directors,
officers or employees or to their respective spouses or children or to any
Affiliate of any of the foregoing, other than in connection with expenses or
advances of expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business or employee
relocation expenses and for other customary employee benefits made generally
available to all employees. None of the Company’s directors, officers or
employees, or any members of their immediate families, or any Affiliate of
the
foregoing (i) are, directly or indirectly, indebted to the Company or, (ii)
to
the Company’s knowledge, have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any
firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the
Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes
with the Company except that directors, officers or employees or stockholders
of
the Company may own stock in (but not exceeding two percent (2%) of the
outstanding capital stock of) publicly traded companies that may compete with
the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the Company’s Key Employees or
directors or any members of their immediate families or any Affiliate of any
of
the foregoing are, directly or indirectly, interested in any material contract
with the Company.
2.12. Rights
of Registration and Voting Rights.
Except
as provided in the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the Company is not under any
obligation to register under the Securities Act any of its currently outstanding
securities or any securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of its
currently outstanding securities. To the Company’s knowledge, except as
contemplated in the Voting Agreement, no stockholder of the Company has entered
into any agreements with respect to the voting of capital shares of the
Company.
2.13. Absence
of Liens.
The
property and assets that the Company owns are free and clear of all mortgages,
deeds of trust, liens, loans and encumbrances, except for statutory liens for
the payment of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and encumbrances and
liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair
the Company’s ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the
property and assets it leases, the Company is in compliance with such leases
and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens,
claims or encumbrances other than those of the lessors of such property or
assets.
7
2.14. Employee
Matters.
(a) A
list of
Company employees appears on Schedule
C.
(b) Xxxxxxxxxx
is not obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or
commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would materially
interfere with his ability to promote the interest of the Company or that would
conflict with the Company’s business. Neither the execution or delivery of the
Transaction Agreements, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the
employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as now
conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, will, to the Company’s
knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or
instrument under which Xxxxxxxxxx or any employee anticipated to be engaged
by
the Company is obligated.
(c) The
Company is not delinquent in payments to any of its employees, consultants,
or
independent contractors for any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses, or other

made.
3. Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser.
The
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
3.1. Authorization.
The
Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Agreements.
The Transaction Agreements to which Purchaser is a party, when executed and
delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except
(a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable
remedies, or (b) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in
the
Investors’ Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state
securities laws.
3.2. Purchase
Entirely for Own Account.
This
Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s
representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this
Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Shares to be acquired by
the
Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not
as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any
part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing
this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not
presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any

Securities.

representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Shares,
and the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, are “restricted
securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that,
pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Shares,
and the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, indefinitely
unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares, or the shares
of
Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, for resale except as set forth
in
the Investors’ Rights Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an
exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned
on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner
of
sale, the holding period for the Shares, or the shares of Common Stock issued
upon conversion thereof, and on requirements relating to the Company which
are
outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no
obligation and
may
not be able to satisfy.
3.5. No
Public Market.
The
Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for the Shares, or the
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, and that the Company
has
made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for such
shares.

Purchaser understands that the Shares, and any securities issued in respect
of
or exchange for the Shares, may bear one or all of the following
legends:

SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A
