acknowledges and agrees, and represents and warrants to Oculus, as of the date hereof, and on the
Issuance Date, as follows:
(a) The Shares have not been registered under the United States Securities Act, or any other
applicable securities laws, and may not be offered, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of
other than pursuant to a registration statement which has been declared effective under the
Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Purchaser is either (i) an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under
Regulation D promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and makes the additional representations in Exhibit A, attached hereto;
or (ii) not a “U.S. Person”, and makes the additional representations in Exhibit B attached
hereto.
(c) The offer and sale of the Shares to such Purchaser has taken place outside of the United
States of America, its territories and possessions (the “US”), and Purchaser has executed this
Agreement outside of the US.
(d) Such Purchaser is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and
acknowledges that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that
Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Shares. Such Purchaser
is aware that Purchaser (or any account for which Purchaser is purchasing) may be required to bear
the economic risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, and Purchaser
(or such institutional account) is able to bear such risk for an indefinite period. Such Purchaser
has relied solely on this Agreement, the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of Oculus, and
independent investigations made by such Purchaser in making a decision to purchase any Shares.
Purchaser reviewed the section of the Confidential Private Place Memorandum of Oculus headed “Risk
Factors”, and has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to purchase the Shares. Purchaser further represents that it has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Oculus regarding the terms and conditions of
the offering of the Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of
Oculus. If not a natural person, Purchaser represents that it has not been organized for the
specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
(e) Such Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for Purchaser’s own account, or for one or more
institutional accounts for which such Purchaser is acting as a fiduciary or agent, in each case,
for investment, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution
thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing, the Shares.
7
(f) Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss with the management of Oculus, the business,
management and financial affairs of Oculus.
(g) Purchaser’s advisors and/or Purchaser have had an opportunity to inspect all records and
books pertaining to an investment in Oculus and have had reasonable opportunities to ask questions
of and receive answers from the officers of Oculus or other persons authorized by Oculus to act on
its behalf concerning the offering of shares, and all questions have been answered to Purchaser’s
full satisfaction and the satisfaction of Purchaser’s advisors.
(h) Oculus will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments,
representations, warranties and agreements of such Purchaser, including any and all representations
and warranties made under Exhibits A and B, and if any such acknowledgment,
representation or warranty made by such Purchaser is no longer accurate, such Purchaser shall
promptly notify Oculus thereof in writing. Purchaser has sole investment discretion with respect
to any institutional account for which Purchaser is acquiring any Shares as a fiduciary or agent,
and Purchaser has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties and
agreements on behalf of each such account.
(i) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under the United States
federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction (i)
not involving a public offering and (ii) subject to the conditions of Regulation D or Regulation
S, as applicable, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold
without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this
connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the
Securities Act.
(j) Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by
Oculus (including the Shares), that Oculus has made no assurances that a public market will ever
exist for the Shares and that, even if such a public market exists at some future time, Oculus may
not then be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act.

that the certificates evidencing the Shares will bear the following legend:

in the United States or to, or for the benefit of account of, any “U.S. Person”

Foreign Investor Representations
The information set forth in this Foreign Investor Questionnaire is being furnished to Oculus
by the undersigned Purchaser in order for Oculus to determine whether such Purchaser’s purchase of
the Shares may be accepted in light of the requirements in Regulation S promulgated under the
Securities Act, including confirmation that Purchaser is not a U.S. Person. Purchaser understands
that (a) the Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption
from registration under the Securities Act, (b) Purchaser may be required to hold the Shares
indefinitely; and (c) Purchaser is required to bear the entire risk of an investment in the Shares.
Purchaser represents and warrants to Oculus that: (i) the information contained herein is
complete and accurate and may be relied upon by Oculus, its officers and directors and their agents
and affiliates; and (ii) Purchaser will notify Oculus immediately of any change in any of
the information contained herein prior to the acceptance of Purchaser’s subscription.
In accordance with the foregoing, Purchaser hereby makes and provides the following
representations and information:
1 Neither Purchaser nor any person for the account of whom Purchaser is acting, including the
estate of any such person, a trust of which any such person is a “U.S. Person”. For purposes of
this Questionnaire and the Agreement, “U.S. Person” means:
(i) Any natural person resident in the United States of America (“U.S.”);
(ii) Any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the U.S.;
(iii) Any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. Person;
(iv) Any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. Person;
(v) Any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the U.S.;
(vi) Any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by
a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the U.S.;
and
(vii) Any partnership or corporation if:
(A) Organized or incorporated under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction; and
(B) Formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not
registered under the Securities Act,
unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as
19
defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates
or trusts.
2. The offer and sale of the Shares to the Purchaser has taken place outside of the U.S., its
territories and possession, and Purchaser has executed the Agreement and this Questionnaire outside
of the U.S.
3. The Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the
Shares to a U.S. person unless and until:
(a) Such disposition is in accordance with Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act,
or
(b) 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
(c) Purchaser shall have notified Oculus of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished
Oculus with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if
reasonably requested by Oculus, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Oculus, that
such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act.
4. The Purchaser (and any institutional account for which Purchaser is purchasing any Shares)
will not (i) offer, sell or otherwise transfer any Shares prior to the expiration of a one (1) year
period commencing on the Issuance Date other than pursuant to (A) a registration statement which
has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (B) an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act,
or (C) any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as confirmed in
an opinion of counsel (such counsel being satisfactory to Oculus), or (ii) engage in any hedging
transaction with respect to any Shares other than in compliance with the Securities Act. In order
to effectuate the foregoing restrictions on resales and other transfers of the Shares, if any
resale or other transfer is proposed to be made (other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act) prior to one (1) year after the Issuance Date, (1)(a) such
Purchaser shall deliver to Oculus or Oculus’ transfer agent a Transferor Representation Statement
substantially in the form of Annex A hereto in the case of a transfer proposed to be made in
compliance with Regulation S and (b) the transferee shall deliver to Oculus or Oculus’ transfer
agent a Transferee Representation Statement substantially in the form of Annex B hereto in the case
of a transfer proposed to be made in compliance with Regulation S, or (2) such Purchaser shall
provide Oculus with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Oculus regarding the availability of
another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
