each Investor:
2.1 Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in
the State of Oregon. The Company is not qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation in any other jurisdiction and the failure to so qualify does not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, condition or results
of operations. The Company has all required corporate power and authority to
own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted or
contemplated to be conducted and to carry out the transactions contemplated
hereby. The copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the
Company, as amended to date, which have been furnished to the Investors by the
Company, are true, correct and complete and have not been amended or modified
further.
2.2 Authorization. This Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Investor Rights Agreement")
---------
(together, the "Transaction Documents") have been duly executed and delivered by
the Company and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium laws and other laws of
general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally. The
execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company.
2.3 Capitalization. The entire authorized capital stock of the Company
consists of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of

All outstanding capital stock is duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid

of Series A Preferred Stock for issuance to the Investors pursuant to this
Agreement. When issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the
Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable. There are no outstanding options, subscriptions or warrants, or
other agreements or rights to purchase or acquire from the Company, or
exchangeable for or convertible into, any shares of Common Stock or Preferred
Stock.
2.4 Subsidiaries. The Company has no subsidiaries and has no investments
in any other corporation, association or business organization.

is a party or (b) with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any
court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that
specifically names the Company. To the best knowledge of the Company, there
exists no condition, event or act which after notice, lapse of time, or both,
would constitute a default by the Company under any of the foregoing. To the
best of the Company's knowledge, no third party is in default under any
agreement, contract or other instrument, document or agreement to which the
Company is a party, which default would or could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's properties or assets or the business of the Company as
presently conducted or proposed to be conducted.

Property"). There are no claims pending or, to the best knowledge of the
Company, threatened against the Company regarding any claim or infringement of
any Intellectual Property belonging to any other person, firm or corporation and
the Company has not received any written notice or other indication of any claim
of any such infringement. To the best of the Company's knowledge, the Company

the manner prescribed by law or established reasonable reserves as reflected on
the Financial Statements for the payment of all taxes, levies, assessments,
fees, penalties, interest and other governmental charges accrued or payable for
all periods ending on or prior to the date hereof. The Tax Returns and

adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the
Company.
2.11 Offering. The offer, sale and issuance of the Shares of the Preferred
Stock as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and

agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action thereafter that
would cause the loss of such exemption.
2.12 Reservation of Shares. The shares of common stock issuable on
conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock have been duly and validly reserved
for issuance and, upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock into shares
of common stock, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable

with all applicable laws, regulations and licenses which govern the use and
operation thereof. The Company has good, complete and marketable title to all of
its assets and properties, free and clear of all mortgages, security interests,
liens, options, pledges, equities, claims, charges, restrictions, conditions,
conditional sale contracts and any other encumbrance or adverse interests of any
kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, the "Liens and Encumbrances"). All of
the respective assets and properties are in the exclusive possession and control
of the Company and the Company has the unencumbered right to use all of its
assets and properties without interference from and free of the rights and
claims of others.
3 Representations and Warranties and other Agreements of the Investors.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. Each Investor severally and not
jointly hereby represents and warrants that as to itself only:
3.1.1 Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement
and to acquire the Shares. This Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Investor,
enforceable against such Investor in accordance with their respective terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium laws
and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights
generally.
3.1.2 Purchase Entirely for Our Own Account. That the Shares to be
purchased by such Investor and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired for investment
for such Investor'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 such Investor has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise
distributing the same. Such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person or entity to sell, transfer or grant
participations to such person or to any third party with respect to any of the
Securities.
5
3.1.3 Reliance Upon Investor's Representations. Such Investor
understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") on the ground that the sale
provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is
exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2)
thereof, and that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the
Investors' representations set forth herein. Such Investor realizes that the
basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such
representations, the Investor has in mind merely acquiring shares of the
Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market
rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. Such Investor has no such
intention.
3.1.4 Risks and Special Considerations. SUCH INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS THE
RISKS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE 3.1.4 HERETO.
3.1.5 Investment Experience. Such Investor is experienced in
evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of
companies in a similar stage of development and acknowledges that such Investor
is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of such Investor's
investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, such Investor has not
been organized for the purpose of acquiring the securities.
3.1.6 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. The term
"accredited investor" as used herein refers to:
(i) A person or entity who is a director or executive officer of the
Company;
(ii) Any bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or
any savings and loan association or other institution as defined
in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its
individual or fiduciary capacity; any broker or dealer registered
pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
any insurance company as defined in Section 2(13) of the
Securities Act; any investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development company
as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of that Act; any Small Business
Investment Company licensed by the US Small Business
Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small business
Investment Act of 1958; any plan established and maintained by a
state, its political subdivisions, or any agency or
instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions, for the
benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets in excess
of $5,000,000; any employee benefit plan within the meaning of
Title I of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as
defined in Section 3(21) of such Act, which is either a bank,
savings and loan association, insurance
6
company, or registered investment advisor, or if the employee
benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or, if a
self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by
persons that are accredited investors;
(iii) Any private business development company as defined in Section
202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
(iv) Any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business
trust, or partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring the securities offered, with total assets in excess
of $5,000,000;
(v) Any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net
worth with that person's spouse, at the time of the purchase
exceeds $1,000,000;
(vi) Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of
$200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income
with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of
those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the
same income level in the current year;
(vii) Any trust with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed
for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered,
whose purchase is directed by a person who has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters that he or she
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
prospective investment; or
(viii) Any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited
investors.
As used in this paragraph, the term "net worth" means the excess of total
assets over total liabilities. For the purpose of determining a person's net
worth, the principal residence owned by an individual should be valued at fair
market, value, including the cost of improvements, net of current encumbrances.
As used in this paragraph, "income" means actual economic income, which may
different from adjusted gross income for income tax purposes. Accordingly, each
Investor should consider whether such Investor should add any or all of the
following items to such Investor's adjusted gross income for income tax purposes
in order to reflect more accurately such Investor's actual economic income: any
amounts attributable to tax-exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited
partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion,
contributions to an XXX or Xxxxx retirement plan, and alimony payments.
3.2 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities
may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under
the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an
effective registration statement covering the Securities or an available
exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Securities must be
held indefinitely. In particular, such Investor is aware that the Securities may
not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all
of the conditions of
7
that rule are met. Among the conditions for use of Rule 144 may be the
availability of current information to the public about the Company. Such
information is not now available and the Company has no present plans to make
such information available.
4 Brokerage. There are no claims for brokerage commissions or finder's fees
or similar compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement based on any arrangement or agreement made by or on behalf of such
Investor, and such Investor agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and the
other Investors harmless against any damages incurred as a result of any such
claims.
5 Further Limitations on Disposition.
5.1 Each Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any
portion of the Shares unless and until:
(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such
disposition is made in accordance with such registration
statement and all applicable state securities laws; or
(ii) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement
of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and
(B) such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion from counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
that such disposition will not require registration of such
shares under the Securities Act and that all requisite action has
been or will be, on a timely basis, taken under any applicable
state securities laws in connection with such disposition.
5.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, no
such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a
transfer without additional consideration by any Investor: (i) if such Investor
is a natural person, by gift or bequest or through inheritance to any of such
Investor's spouse, father, mother, brothers, sisters and lineal descendants and
ancestors (collectively, the "Investor's Immediate Family"), (ii) to a trust for
the benefit of any member or members of such Investor's Immediate Family or
(iii) to a trust in respect of which such Investor serves as trustee (provided,
however, that the trust instrument governing such trust shall provide that such
Investor, as trustee, shall retain sole and exclusive control over the voting
and disposition of such Shares until the termination of the Investor Rights
Agreement), if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms
hereof to the same extent as if such transferee were an original Investor
hereunder.
6 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares may
bear substantially the following legends:
(a) "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED
8
FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT
OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH
