COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Common Stock Purchase Agreement is made on the 15th day of May,
2002 by and among Lifen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), the
individual stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule A (the "Stockholders")
and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Malahide Investments (individually, an "Investor" and
collectively, the "Investors").
The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Stock.
1.1 Authorization and Sale of Common Stock.
(a) On or before the Closing (as defined below), the Company
shall adopt and file with the Secretary of State of Delaware the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Restated Certificate").
(b) On or before the Closing, the Company shall adopt the
Restated Bylaws substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
"Restated Bylaws").
(c) At the Closing, the Company shall authorize the issuance and
sale to Investors an aggregate number of shares equal to 20% (including these
shares) of the fully diluted number of issued and outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (including rights, options, or
warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either (i) Common Stock
or (ii) any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock).
(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Investors agree to purchase at the Closing, and the Company agrees to sell and
issue to Investors at the Closing, that number of shares of Common Stock
authorized above for an aggregate purchase price of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000). Each Investor shall purchase that percentage of this aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock as shown on Exhibit C.
1.2 Closing.
(a) The closing of the purchase and sale of the Common Stock
shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx, Phleger & Xxxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxx Street
Tower, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 at 9 A.M., on June 1,
2002 or at such other time and place as the Company and Investors mutually agree
upon orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the
"Closing"). At the Closing the Company shall deliver to Investors a certificate
representing the Common Stock that each Investor is purchasing against payment
of the purchase price therefor by check or wire transfer or any combination
thereof. If at the Closing any of the conditions specified in Section 5 of this
Agreement shall not have been fulfilled, Investors shall, at their election, be
relieved of all of its obligations under this Agreement without thereby waiving
any other right Investors may have by reason of such failure or such non-
fulfillment.
1.3 Right to Purchase Additional Shares.
(a) Subject to subsection 1.3(b) below, on each Vesting Date
(as defined below) after the Closing, each Investor shall also have the right
to purchase at a purchase price, or exercise price, of $0.0001 per share that
number of shares of Common Stock equal to twenty five percent (25%) of that
aggregate number of (i) additional shares of Common Stock issued after the
Closing in connection with any Acquisition (as defined below) plus (ii) the
aggregate maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued
pursuant to any security convertible into Common Stock, warrant, option or
similar agreement or arrangement granted after the Closing in connection with
any Acquisition (whether or not such shares are ever issued). For purposes of
this Agreement, the "Vesting Expiration Date" shall mean the first annual
anniversary of the closing date of the Company's first Acquisition after the
Closing, and "Vesting Date" shall mean the date that is the last day of each
calendar month prior to the month in which the Vesting Expiration Date occurs,
or, if the Company undergoes a transaction to which subsection 1.3(b)(i) of this
Agreement applies prior to the end of any such calendar month and prior to the
Vesting Expiration Date, the day preceding the effective date of such
transaction. Each Investor's right to purchase these additional shares of
Common Stock shall expire one year after the Vesting Expiration Date (the
"Expiration Date"). For purposes of this Agreement, "Acquisition" shall mean
any business combination in which the Company issues or may issue shares of
Common Stock for the consideration thereof, including, without limitation, a
stock purchase, sale, merger, joint venture or otherwise and whether in one or
more transactions for the purchase of an organization's equity, debt securities
or assets, or by means of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, spin-off,
joint venture, partnership, tender offer, exchange offer, purchase, lease,
licensing arrangement, strategic alliance or any other transaction of a like
nature, regardless of form. This right is exercisable with respect to any or
all of the shares issuable pursuant to this Section 1.3, at the option of the
Investor, at any time and from time to time at or prior to the Expiration Date,
upon Investor giving notice of his or its intention to exercise such right and
payment of an amount equal to the exercise price multiplied by the number of
shares of Common Stock with respect to which this right is being exercised.
Payment of the exercise price for the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to the rights granted in this Section 1.3 is being exercised shall be made, at
the option of Investor, (X) by delivery of cash payable by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, (Y) by cancellation by the Investor of indebtedness
of the Company to Investor, or (Z) by any combination of items (X)-(Y). Any
partial exercise of this right prior to the Expiration Date shall
correspondingly reduce the number of shares issuable pursuant to this
Section 1.3.
(b) The purchase price per share and the number of shares
purchasable under this Section 1.3 are subject to adjustment from time to time
as follows:
(i) Merger, Sale of Assets, Etc. If at any time this right
to purchase additional shares of Common Stock is outstanding and unexpired
there shall be (A) a reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification,
exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the
Company is not the surviving entity (but excluding any merger effected
exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company), or a
reverse triangular merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but the
shares of the Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the
merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the
form of securities, cash, or otherwise, or (B) a sale or transfer of the
Company's properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any
other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation,
sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that each Investor shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of the rights granted pursuant
to this Section 1.3, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the
exercise price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities
or property of the successor corporation resulting from such reorganization,
merger, consolidation, sale or transfer which a holder of the shares deliverable
upon exercise of the right granted in this subsection 1.3 would have been
entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer if this right had been exercised immediately before such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this subsection 1.3(b). The foregoing provisions of
this subsection 1.3(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of
any other corporation which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of the
rights granted in this Section 1.3. If the per share consideration payable to
Investors for shares in connection with any such transaction is in a form other
than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall
be determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. In all events,
appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this right with
respect to the rights and interests of each Investor after the transaction, to
the end that the provisions of this Section 1.3 shall be applicable after that
event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property
deliverable after that event upon exercise of the rights granted in this
Section 1.3.
(ii) Notices. If the Company proposes at any time to merge
with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or
substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind
up, including any transaction to which subsection 1.3(b)(i) above applies, then
the Company shall send to each Investor at least 20 days' prior written notice
of the date on which a record shall be taken for determining rights to vote in
respect of such event.
(iii) Reclassification, etc. At any time this right to
purchase additional shares of Common Stock is outstanding and unexpired, if the
Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, changes any of the
securities as to which purchase rights under this Section 1.3 exist into the
same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this
right shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect
to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Section
1.3 immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the exercise
price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Section 1.3(b).
(iv) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. At any
time this right to purchase additional shares of Common Stock is outstanding and
unexpired, if the Company shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to
which purchase rights under this Section 1.3 exist, into a different number of
securities of the same class, the exercise price for such securities shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or
proportionately increased in the case of a reverse split or combination.
(v) Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities
or Property. At any time this right to purchase additional shares of Common
Stock is outstanding and unexpired if the Investors shall have received, or, on
or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders,
shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or
additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the
Company by way of dividend, then and in each case, the right to purchase
additional shares in this Section 1.3 shall represent the right to acquire, in
addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of
such rights, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the
amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other
than cash) of the Company which such Investor would hold on the date of such
exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon
exercise of this right on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period
from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such
shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during
such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by
the provisions of this Section 1.3(b).
(vi) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of
each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 1.3(b), the Company at
its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and furnish to each Investor a certificate setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written
request, at any time, of any such holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to
such holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and
readjustments; (ii) the exercise price at the time in effect; and (iii) the
number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time
would be received upon the exercise of this right.
(c) The Company and the Investors, having adverse interests and
as a result of arms-length bargaining, agree that:
(i) Neither any Investor nor any affiliated entity has
rendered any services to the Company in connection with this Agreement.
(ii) The anti-dilution protection being granted by the right
to purchase additional shares in this Section 1.3 is not being issued as
compensation, but was separately bargained for by Investors.
(iii) All tax returns and other information returns of each
party relative to this Agreement and to the Common Stock issued pursuant hereto
shall consistently reflect the matters agreed to this subsection (c).

in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving
of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment,
order, writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license,
authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations

aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of
such subsections.
(e) All of the contracts, agreements and instruments of the
Company are set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions (the "Current Contracts").
The Company has performed all material obligations required to be performed by
it and is not in default under or in breach of nor in receipt of any claim of
default or breach under any contract, agreement or instrument and the Company
does not have any present expectation or intention of not fully performing all
such obligations. No event has occurred which with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both would result in a default, breach or event of
noncompliance by the Company under any contract, agreement or instrument. The
Company has no knowledge of any breach or anticipated breach by the other
parties to any contract, agreement, instrument or commitment. The Company shall
have no further obligations under the Current Contracts immediately following

contracts and agreements that are referred to on the Schedule of Exceptions
pursuant to this Section 2.12, together with all amendments, waivers or other

any other form of acquisition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the

of the Exchange Act or the Act, as applicable, and rules and regulations of the

to become due) that would have been required to be reflected in, reserved
against or otherwise described in the financial statements or in the notes
thereto in accordance with GAAP, which was not fully reflected in, reserved
against or otherwise described in the financial statements or the notes thereto

the Company does not have any liabilities (whether accrued, absolute,

use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and assets it
leases, the Company is in compliance with such leases and holds a valid
leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances, subject to clauses
(i)-(iii).

3. Representations and Warranties of each Investor. Each Investor
hereby represents, warrants and covenants that:
3.1 Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to
enter into the Investor's Rights Agreement, and such agreement constitutes its
valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies.
3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
such Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company,
which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
confirms, that the Common Stock to be received by such Investor and the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (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. By executing this
Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not have any
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with
respect to any of the Securities.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Common Stock. Such Investor further represents that it
has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and the
properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing,
however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investor to rely
thereon.
3.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in
securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Common
Stock. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it has not
been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Common Stock.
3.5 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect.
3.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as "restricted securities" under
the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under
the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the Securities (or the Common Stock issued on
conversion thereof) or an available exemption from registration under the Act,
the Common Stock (and any Common Stock issued on conversion thereof) must be
held indefinitely. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is
familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
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 Securities unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by
this Section 3 and the Investor's Rights Agreement, and:
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the
Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if
requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an
opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition
will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that
the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant
to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
3.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:
(a) "These securities have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered 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 registration is not required or unless
sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act."
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 of the California Corporations Code.
3.9 Further Representations by Foreign Investor. If an Investor is
not a United States person, such Investor hereby represents that it has
satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in
connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of
this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction
for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions
applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may
need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any,
that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of
the Securities. Such Investor's subscription and payment for, and its continued
beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable
securities or other laws of its jurisdiction.
