distribution upon or with respect to any class or series of the Company’s
capital stock, or directly or indirectly the redemption, purchase or other
acquisition of any of such stock by the Company; or
(o) any
agreement or commitment by the Company to do any of the things described in this
Section 2.16.
2.17 Employee
Matters.
(a) As
of the date hereof, the only officers and employees of the Company are those
officers and employees listed on Section 2.17(a) of the Schedule of
Exceptions. The Company is not aware that any officer or other
employee intends to terminate his or her employment with the Company, nor does
the Company have a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer
or employee. Except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions, the
employment of each officer and employee of the Company is terminable at the will
of the Company.
(b) The
Company is not delinquent in payments to any of its officers, employees,
consultants, or independent contractors for any wages, salaries, commissions,
bonuses, or other direct compensation for any service performed for it to the
date hereof or amounts required to be reimbursed to such employees, consultants,
or independent contractors. The Company has complied with all applicable state
and federal equal employment opportunity laws and with other laws related to
employment, including those related to wages, hours, worker classification,
collective bargaining, and the payment and withholding of taxes and other sums
as required by law. The Company has withheld and paid to the
appropriate governmental entity or is holding for payment not yet due to such
governmental entity all amounts required to be withheld from employees of the
Company and is not liable for any arrears of wages, taxes, penalties, or other
sums for failure to comply with any of the foregoing.
(c) The
Company is not a party to or bound by any currently effective deferred
compensation agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan,
retirement agreement or other employee compensation agreement, or any Employee
Benefit Plan as defined in Section 3 of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended, nor has the Company contracted or agreed to establish
any such plan.
(d) The
Company is not bound by or subject to (and none of its assets or properties is
bound by or subject to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract,
commitment or arrangement with any labor union, and no labor union has requested
or, to the Company’s knowledge, has sought to represent any of the employees,
representatives or agents of the Company. There is no strike or other
labor dispute involving the Company pending, or to the Company’s knowledge,
threatened, nor is the Company aware of any labor organization activity
involving its employees.
-11-
2.18 Tax
Matters. The Company has
timely filed all tax returns and reports (federal, state, and local) as required
by law. These returns and reports are true and correct in all
material respects. The Company has paid all taxes and other
assessments due, except those contested by it in good faith. The
provision for taxes of the Company as shown in the Financial Statements is
adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. The Company
has never had any tax deficiency proposed or assessed against it and has not
executed any waiver of any statute of limitations on the assessment or
collection of any tax or governmental charge. None of the Company’s
federal income tax returns and none of its state income or franchise tax or
sales or use tax returns has ever been audited by governmental
authorities. Since the date of the Financial Statements, the Company
has made adequate provisions on its books of account for all taxes, assessments,
and governmental charges with respect to its business, properties, and
operations for such period. The Company has withheld or collected
from each payment made to each of its employees, the amount of all taxes,
including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance
Contribution Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes required to be
withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper tax
receiving officers or authorized depositaries.
2.19 Minute
Books. The minute books
of the Company, a true and correct copy of which has been made available to the
Investors and their counsel, contain a complete record of all meetings, consents
and actions of the board of directors (and any committee thereof) and the
shareholders of the Company since the time of its incorporation, accurately
reflecting all transactions referred to in such minutes in all material
respects.
2.20 Disclosure. The Company has
fully provided the Investors with all the information that the Investors have
requested for deciding whether to acquire the Purchased Shares and all
information that the Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable each
Investor to make such a decision. No representation or warranty of
the Company contained in this Agreement nor any schedules or exhibits attached
hereto or any certificate furnished or to be furnished to Investor at the
Closing, nor the last version of any financial projections provided by Company
to the Investors (to the extent so provided) contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, except that with respect to any
financial projections presented by the Company to Investor, the Company
represents only that the projections were prepared by the management of the
Company in a good faith effort to describe the Company’s presently proposed
business and products and the markets therefor; provided, however, that the
Company does not warrant that it will achieve any of such
projections.
2.21 Permits. The Company has
all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the
conduct of its business as currently conducted, the lack of which would be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company
believes it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any similar authority
for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted. The Company is not
in default in any material respect under any of such franchises, permits,
licenses or other similar authority.
2.22 Business
Practices. Neither the
Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any person acting on behalf of the
Company has paid or delivered, or promised to pay or deliver, directly or
indirectly through any other person, any monies or anything else of value to any
government official or employee of any political party, for the purpose of
illegally or improperly inducing or rewarding any action by the official
favorable to the Company.
-12-
2.23 Real
Property Holding Corporation. The Company is
not now and never has been a “United States real property holding corporation”
as defined in §897(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.897-2(b), and
has filed with the Internal Revenue Service all statements, if any, with its
United States income tax returns, which are required under Treasury Regulation
§1.897-2(h). The Company shall provide prompt notice to the Investors
following any “determination date” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.897-2(c)(1)) on which the Company becomes a United States real property
holding corporation. In addition, upon a written request by an
Investor, the Company shall provide such Investor with a written statement
informing such Investor whether such Investor’s interest in the Company
constitutes a United States real property interest. The Company’s
determination shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section
1.897-2(h)(1) or any successor regulation, and the Company shall provide timely
notice to the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with and to the extent
required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(2) or any successor
regulation, that such statement has been made. The Investors will
reasonably cooperate with the Company’s efforts to make the determination as to
whether the Company qualifies as a real property holding corporation by
furnishing the Company with any information reasonably necessary for the Company
to make the determination described in this Section 2.23. The
Company’s written statement to an Investor shall be delivered to such Investor
within 10 days of the Investor’s written request therefor, provided, however, that such
10-day notice period shall be tolled pending receipt from the Investor of the
information reasonably required by the Company to make the requested
determination. The Company’s obligation to furnish such written
statement shall continue notwithstanding the fact that a class of the Company’s
stock may be regularly traded on an established securities market or the fact
that there is no preferred stock then outstanding.
2.24 Insurance. The Company has
in full force and effect insurance policies sufficient in amount (subject to
reasonable deductibles) to allow it to replace any properties or assets that
might be damaged or destroyed. All of the Company’s insurance
policies are set forth in Section 2.24 of the Schedule of
Exceptions. The Company is not in default with respect to any
material provision contained in any such policy, and the Company has
not received notice of cancellation or non-renewal thereof.
2.25 Related
Transactions. (a) There is
no indebtedness, either directly or indirectly, between the Company and any
Founder, present or former officer, director, employee or shareholder, or to any
of their respective parents, spouses or children, in any amount whatsoever,
other than travel, relocation and other expenses which are advanced and
reimbursed in the ordinary course of business; (b) no Founder, present or
former officer, director, employee or shareholder (nor any person in the
immediate family of any such officer, director, employee or shareholder), has
any material 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 that is material to the Company or which competes with the Company;
(c) no Founder, officer, director, employee, consultant or shareholder of
any of its shares or any member of their immediate families is, directly or
indirectly, interested in any contract with the Company; and (d) the
Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any person, firm
or corporation.
-13-
2.26 Environmental
and Safety Laws. The Company is
not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the
environment or occupational health and safety, and to its knowledge, no material
expenditures are or will be required in order to comply with any such existing
statute, law or regulation. No action, proceeding, permit revocation,
writ, injunction or claim is pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
concerning the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ facilities and the Company is not
aware of any fact or circumstance which could involve the Company or any of its
subsidiaries in any environmental litigation or impose any material
environmental liability upon the Company. As of the Closing, to the
Company’s knowledge, no Hazardous Material (as defined below) is present on any
Company or subsidiary facility and, to the Company’s knowledge, no reasonable
likelihood exists that any Hazardous Material present on other property will
come to be present on a Company or subsidiary facility. The Company
has obtained all indemnification agreements from all prior owners, lessors
and/or operators of any property on which a Company or a subsidiary facility is
located required to be obtained under any written agreements between the Company
(or any of its subsidiaries) and any current owner of such property,
indemnifying the Company with respect to any liability relating to or arising
from the presence of or migration of any Hazardous Material at such facilities
with respect to periods prior to the Company or subsidiaries’ use of such
facilities. There are no underground storage tanks, asbestos or PCBs
present on any Company facility. For the purposes of this Section
2.26, the term “Hazardous
Material” shall mean any material or substance that is prohibited or
regulated by any environmental law or that has been designated by any
governmental authority to be radioactive, toxic, hazardous or otherwise a danger
to health, reproduction or the environment.
2.27 Investment
Company Act. The Company is
not an “investment company,” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
2.28 Use of
Proceeds; Budgeting; Reporting. The Company shall
use the proceeds from the sale of the Series B Stock for working capital and
general corporate purposes as set forth in the Company’s 2009 business plan and
annual budget, substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached
hereto, which will be approved by the Investors prior to the First Closing (the

3. REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE INVESTORS. Each Investor
hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company, with respect to
the purchase of the Series B Stock and the Conversion Shares as follows, which
representations and warranties and agreements in no way limit or affect the
Company’s representations and warranties hereunder:
3.1 Authorization. This Agreement
constitutes the Investor’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in
accordance with its terms except as may be limited by (a) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (b)
applicable federal or state securities law limits on indemnification and (c) the
effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable
remedies. The Investor represents that it has full power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and the
Related Agreements.
-14-
3.2 Purchase
for Own Account. The Purchased
Shares to be acquired by the Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment
for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view
to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, all other than by such
Investor to affiliated funds under common control. If not an
individual, the Investor also represents that it has not been formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares.
3.3 Disclosure
of Information. At no time was
the Investor presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated
newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or
solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Purchased
Shares. The Investor acknowledges that the Company is in the very
early stages of development and therefore its future plans are highly
speculative. The Investor has received or has had full access to all
the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares to be purchased by such
Investor under this Agreement and acknowledges that the business plans of the
Company provided to the Investor (including any financial information and/or
projections) were necessarily incomplete and were intended only to give the
Investor a general idea of the Company’s future intentions. The
Investor further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Purchased Shares and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company
possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or
expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to such Investor or to
which such Investor had access. The foregoing, however, does not in
any way limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company
in Section 2.
3.4 Investment
Experience. The Investor
understands that the purchase of the Purchased Shares involves substantial
risk. The Investor: (a) has experience as an investor in
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the
Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of such
Investor’s investment in the Purchased Shares and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that such Investor is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Purchased Shares and
protecting its own interests in connection with this investment and/or
(b) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company
and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and
duration that enables such Investor to be aware of the character, business
acumen and financial circumstances of such persons. The Investor
represents that (i) if the Investor is an individual, he or she resides in the
state identified on Exhibit A, and (ii)
if the Investor is an entity, then the office in which its investment decision
was made is located at the address on Exhibit A.
3.5 Accredited
Investor Status. The Investor is
an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a),
promulgated under the Securities Act.
3.6 Restricted
Securities. The Investor
understands that the Purchased Shares and the Conversion Shares are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as
they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder
such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only
in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Investor
represents that Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act,
as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby
and otherwise by the Securities Act. Investor understands that the
Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder
except as provided in the Investors’ Rights Agreement. Investor
understands that no public market now exists for any of the Purchased Shares and
that it is uncertain whether a public market will ever exist for the Purchased
Shares or the Conversion Shares.
-15-
3.7 Further
Limitations on Disposition. Without in any
way limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees
not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Purchased Shares or the
Conversion Shares unless and until:
(a) 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; or
(b) the
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, at the expense of Investor or its transferee, with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such
disposition will not require registration of such securities under the
Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of
counsel shall be required: (i) for any transfer of any Purchased
Shares or Conversion Shares in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A,
or (ii) for any transfer of Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares by an
Investor that is a partnership, limited liability company, or a corporation to
(A) a partner of such partnership, a member or manager of such limited
liability company, or shareholder of such corporation, (B) a retired
partner of such partnership, a retired member of such limited liability company
who retires after the date hereof, (C) the estate of any such partner,
member or shareholder, (D) an “affiliate” (as defined in Section 7.2 below) or
(iii) for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by any
Investor to his or her spouse or lineal descendants, siblings or ancestors or
any trust for any of the foregoing; provided that in each
of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the
terms of this Section 3 (other than Section 3.5) to the same extent as
if the transferee were an original Investor hereunder.
3.8 Legends. It is understood
that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares and the Conversion Shares
will bear the legends set forth below:
(a) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE
SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT
BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION
THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO
BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF
TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY
PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
-16-
(b) Any
legend required by the Related Agreements.
(c) Any
legend required by the laws of the State of California, including any legend
required by the California Department of Corporations and Sections 417 and 418

RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION MAY BE OBTAINED, WITHOUT CHARGE, AT THE
COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE.
The
legend set forth in (a) above shall be removed by the Company from any
certificate evidencing Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares if a registration
statement under the Securities Act is at that time in effect with respect to the
legended security or upon delivery to the Company of an opinion by counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such security can be freely
transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being in
effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions
from registration pursuant to which the Company issued the Purchased Shares or
Conversion Shares.

represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder’s or broker’s
fee or commission in connection with this transaction. Each Investor
agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability for any

-22-
7.10 Amendments
and Waivers. Any term of this
Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the approval of
the holders of a majority of the Series B Stock. Any amendment or
waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each
holder of any Purchased Shares and/or Conversion Shares at the time outstanding,
each future holder of such securities, and the Company; provided, however, that
no condition set forth in Section 4 may be
waived with respect to any Investor who does not consent thereto. No
delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other
instance. No waiver granted under this Agreement as to any one
provision herein shall constitute a subsequent waiver of such provision or of
any other provision herein, nor shall it constitute the waiver of any
performance other than the actual performance specifically waived.
7.11 Adjustments
for Stock Splits, Etc. Wherever in this
Agreement there is a reference to a specific number of shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock of the Company of any class or series, then, upon the occurrence
of any subdivision, combination or stock dividend of such class or series of
stock, the specific number of shares so referenced in this Agreement shall
automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the
outstanding shares of such class or series of stock by such subdivision,
combination or stock dividend.
7.12 Waiver of
Right of First Refusal. NGEN and Robeco, to the extent they
hold any notice rights and rights of first refusal to purchase securities of the
Company pursuant to Section 3 of that certain Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated
November 30, 2007, by and among the Company and the parties listed therein,
hereby waive any and all such notice rights and related notice periods and
rights of first refusal with respect to this issuance of the Purchased Shares
and/or Conversion Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
7.13 Waiver of
Anti-dilution Rights. NGEN and Robeco
hereby waive any adjustments to the applicable conversion price and conversion
ratio of their Series A Stock in accordance with the Company’s Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation with respect to the issuance of Purchased
Shares and/or Conversion Shares as contemplated herein.
7.14 Third
Parties. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than
the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, any rights or remedies
under or by reason of this Agreement.
7.15 Severability. If any provision
of this Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of
the parties hereto. If such clause or provision cannot be so
enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder
of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the value of this
Agreement based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party is
materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or
arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree
to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations.
-23-
7.16 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement
and the Related Agreements and the documents referred to herein, together with
all the Exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of
the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede
any and all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written,
between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter
hereof.
7.17 Further
Assurances. From and after
the date of this Agreement, upon the request of Investor or the Company, the
Company and Investor shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents or
other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry
out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this
Agreement.
7.18 Delays
and Omissions. Except as
expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing to any party to this Agreement upon any breach or default of any
other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of
such non-defaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such
breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, nor of or in 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. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any
kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this
Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or
conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to
the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies,
either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party to this
Agreement, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
7.19 Arbitration. Any dispute,
claim, question, or disagreement involving the interpretation or enforcement of
any provision of this Agreement or breach hereof or otherwise arising under or
in connection with this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration in
Orange County, California, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules
of the American Arbitration Association (expedited procedures) then in
effect. There shall be three (3) arbitrators, all of whom shall be
neutral, and at least one (1) of whom shall be an attorney licensed to practice
law in the State of California for at lease ten (10) years. The
arbitrators shall have the authority to exclude evidence found to be irrelevant,
redundant, or prejudicial beyond its probative value, and are instructed to
exercise that authority consistently with reasonably expediting the
proceeding. The arbitrators may order specific performance,
preliminary and final injunctive relief, and other equitable
relief. The arbitrators may make awards to the substantially
prevailing party in their discretion and all fees, costs, and expenses of
enforcing any right of such substantially prevailing party under or with respect
to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of attorneys and accountants. The award or order of the
arbitrators may be entered and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The arbitration hearing shall begin no more than 90
days after the arbitrators are selected and shall be closed no more than 60 days
thereafter, unless such time periods are extended or waived by the
parties. The arbitrators’ award shall be issued within 30 days after
the hearing is closed.
7.20 Injunctive
Relief. The Parties agree that damages cannot reasonably
compensate the Parties in the event of a violation of the covenants and
restrictions in this Agreement and that it may be difficult to ascertain the
damages which would be suffered by the Parties in such
cases. Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree and consent that, in the
event of any such actual or threatened breach or violation, notwithstanding
Section 7.19, any party may obtain injunctive relief in order to prevent the
potential or continuing violation of the terms of this Agreement from any court
of competent jurisdiction located in Orange County, California; provided, however, that any
determination of the fair market value of securities shall be made by binding
arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.19 above, and such
arbitration may proceed concurrently with any action for injunctive
relief. The award of permanent or temporary injunctive relief shall
in no way limit any other remedies to which a party may be entitled as a result
of any such breach.
