SECTION III
Representations and Warranties of the Investors
-----------------------------------------------
Each Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
3.1 Investment Representations and Covenants.
-----------------------------------------
(a) Investor represents that the Shares to be received will be
acquired for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and that it has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise
distributing the same.
(b) Investor understands and acknowledges that the offering of the
Shares pursuant to this Agreement will not, and any issuance of Series D
Preferred, Class B Common Stock or Common Stock on conversion thereof may not,
be registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for
in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and that the Company's reliance on such
exemption is predicated in part on the Investor's representations set forth
herein.
(c) Investor represents that it is experienced in evaluating
companies such as the Company, is able to fend for itself in transactions such
as the one contemplated by this Agreement, has such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of its prospective investment in the Company and is able to afford a
complete loss of its investment. The Company acknowledges that the foregoing
representation shall not limit the right of the Investors to rely on the
representations of the Company set forth in Section 2 hereof.
6
(d) Investor acknowledges and understands that the Shares and any
Series D Preferred, Class B Common Stock and Common Stock acquired upon the
conversion thereof, must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available, and that, except as otherwise provided in the Stockholder Rights
Agreements, the Company is under no obligation to register either the Shares or
Series D Preferred, Class B Common Stock and Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof.
(e) Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of securities
acquired in a non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. Investor understands that before the Shares, or any Series D
Preferred, Class B Common Stock and Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof,
may be sold under Rule 144, the following conditions must be fulfilled, except
as otherwise described below: (i) certain public information about the Company
must be available; (ii) the sale must occur at least one year after the later of
the date the Shares were sold by the Company or the date they were sold by an
affiliate of the Company; (iii) the sale must be made in a broker's transaction;
and (iv) the number of Shares sold must not exceed certain volume limitations.
If, however, the sale occurs at least two years after the Shares were sold by
the Company or an affiliate of the Company, and if the Investor is not an
affiliate of the Company, the foregoing conditions will not apply.
(f) Investor acknowledges that in the event the applicable
requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or
compliance with another exemption from registration will be required for any
disposition of its stock. Investor understands that although Rule 144 is not
exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that
persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering
other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a
substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration
is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who
participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
(g) Investor covenants that, in the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the stock in question, it will sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the Shares and any Series D Preferred, Class B Common Stock
and Common Stock issued on conversion thereof only in a manner consistent with
its representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the
Stockholder Rights Agreement. In connection therewith such Purchaser
acknowledges that the Company shall make a notation on its stock books regarding
the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement and the Stockholder
Rights Agreement and shall transfer shares on the books of the Company only to
the extent not inconsistent therewith.
(h) Investor represents that it is an "ACCREDITED INVESTOR" as such
term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
3.2 No Public Market. Investor understands that no public market now
----------------
exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and there is no assurance
a public market will be created.
7
3.3 Domicile. Each Investor is domiciled in the state set forth at its
--------
address in Section 8.4.
3.4 Authority. Investor has all requisite right, power and authority to
---------
enter into this Agreement and the Stockholder Rights Agreement, to carry out its
obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the Stockholder Rights Agreement by the Investor, and the consummation by
the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Investor and, no other
proceedings are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the Stockholder Rights
Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
This Agreement and the Stockholder Rights Agreement have been duly executed and
delivered by the Investor and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with their
respective terms.
3.5 No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
-----------
Stockholder Rights Agreement by the Investor do not, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not, conflict with, or result in any
violation of, or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or
both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, modification or
acceleration of any obligation under (i) any provision of the organizational
documents of the Investor, (ii) any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or
other agreement or instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license to which
the Investor or any of its properties or assets are subject, or (iii) any
judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable
to the Investor or its properties or assets, except in the case of (ii) and

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE "ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT
BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENTS
COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE
OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS
CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE
OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION.

Affiliates that it controls shall not purchase any securities of the Company

having received the prior written consent of the Company. Upon notice thereof,
the Company shall inform the Investor whether such purchases cause the aggregate
beneficial ownership of Investor and its Affiliates to equal or exceed 10% of
the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement,
"Affiliate" shall mean, as to any person or entity, a person or entity that,
directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is

Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the "IPO") not to issue or sell any shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock

more favorable terms (including rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions) than those set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, this Agreement and the Series C-1 Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement, and the Amended and Restated Stockholder Rights Agreement
without the prior written consent of Venture Management, LLC and Venture
Management III, LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expressly
reserves the right to sell shares of its Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series
D Preferred Stock without the prior written consent of Venture Management, LLC
and Venture Management III, LLC, provided that such shares shall not have been
