TRANSFERS;
RIGHT OF REPURCHASE
2.1. Transfer
Restrictions. In addition to (and without limitation to) any
transfer or other restrictions applicable to the Shares pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement or otherwise, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell,
convey, exchange, assign, pledge, encumber, gift, bequest, hypothecate or
otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any portion of the Shares (including,
but not limited to, any assignment of any beneficial, economic or other rights
with respect thereto) (“Transfer”) without
complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable
thereto. In addition, Stockholder agrees not to Transfer all or any
portion of any Shares while such Shares are considered to be Restricted Shares
(as defined below).
2.2. Scope of Repurchase
Right. All
Shares shall initially be Restricted Shares (as defined below) and shall be
initially subject to a right (but not an obligation) of repurchase in favor of
the Company (the “Right of
Repurchase”) pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise set
forth herein, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, via
a sale or other Transfer of the Shares, any interest therein or otherwise,
transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Shares during any period in which they
are considered Restricted Shares and shall not transfer, assign, encumber
or otherwise dispose of any Shares which are no longer considered
Restricted Shares without
complying with the terms and conditions of Article 3 hereof. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Restricted
Shares” shall refer to
Shares that are subject to the Right of
Repurchase.
2.3. Condition Precedent to
Exercise of Right of Repurchase. This Agreement is being
entered into in connection with Stockholder’s employment as the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company. In connection therewith, the Right of
Repurchase may be exercised with respect to the Restricted Shares following a
termination of Stockholder’s employment relationship with the Company for any
reason prior to the conclusion of the term of such employment relationship set
forth in the employment letter entered into on or about even date hereof (as the
same may be amended from time to time) (the “Termination
Event”). Following the occurrence of the Termination Event,
the Company may exercise the Right of Repurchase with respect to any or all of
the Shares that are Restricted Shares at the time of such Termination Event for
a period of ninety (90) days after the date of such Termination Event (the
“Repurchase
Period”).
2.4. Release of Restricted Shares
from the Right of Repurchase. The Right of Repurchase will
lapse as to the Restricted Shares (in which case such Restricted Shares shall
cease to be considered Restricted Shares) in accordance with the vesting
schedule set forth on Exhibit
A, attached hereto, in each case provided there is no intervening
Termination Event.
Except as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Company’s Right of Repurchase shall
lapse and any remaining Restricted Shares shall immediately be released from the
Right of Repurchase, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control transaction (as
defined below), provided that no Termination Event has occurred prior to the
consummation of the Change in Control. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Change of
Control” shall mean, after the date hereof, (i) the consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate
reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own, immediately
after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization, fifty percent (50%) or
more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of (A) the
continuing or surviving entity and (B) any direct or indirect parent corporation
of such continuing or surviving entity; (ii) a stockholder approved sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company; or (iii) a transaction where the holders of fifty percent (50%) or more
of the capital stock of the Company, on a fully-diluted basis, sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the shares of the capital stock of the Company held by
them, in both form and substance, to a third party.
2.5. Exercise of Repurchase
Right. The Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable only by
written notice delivered to the Stockholder prior to the expiration of the
Repurchase Period specified in Subsection 2.3 above (the “Repurchase
Notice”). The Repurchase Notice shall set forth the date on
which the repurchase is to be effected (the “Closing
Date”). The Closing Date shall not be more than thirty (30)
calendar days after the date of the Repurchase Notice. The Company
shall pay to the Stockholder on the Closing Date the purchase price determined
according to Subsection 2.6 below by delivering a cashiers check in the amount
thereof. The Right of Repurchase shall terminate with respect to any
Shares for which it has not been timely exercised pursuant to this Subsection
2.5.
2.6. Repurchase
Price. If the Company exercises the Right of Repurchase with
respect to any of the Restricted Shares, it shall pay the Stockholder an amount
equal to $0.001 per Restricted Share repurchased by the Company.
2.7. Termination for
Cause. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, following any Termination Event which occurs following an act or
omission by Stockholder which constitutes Cause (as defined below), all of the
Shares, including any Shares which are no longer considered Restricted Shares,
shall, on and as of the date of such Termination Event, immediately, and without
the need for any further action of any of the parties hereto, be forfeited to
the Company and such Shares which are forfeited shall be of no further force or
effect and Stockholder shall no longer have any rights, privileges or
preferences (economic or otherwise) with respect to such forfeited
Shares. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination for “Cause” shall mean the
commission of an act or omission which constitutes one or more of the following:
(a) a conviction of or pleading of no contest or guilty to any felony under the
laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, (b)
fraud, willful neglect, gross or reckless misconduct in the performance of
Stockholder’s duties with respect to the Company, (c) willful failure by
Stockholder to follow proper and reasonable instructions by the Company’s Board;
(d) any intentional misuse or intentional disclosure by Stockholder of material
confidential information or trade secrets of the Company for purposes not
related to or reasonably in the best interests of the Company that adversely
effects the business or affairs of the Company in a material manner; or (e)
conduct that is a breach of fiduciary duty, self-dealing or conflict of interest
that has a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and, if
curable, is not cured by the Stockholder within thirty (30) days after receipt
of written notice thereof from the Company.
2
2.8. Condition Precedent to
Exercise. If Stockholder’s service to the Company terminates
for any reason, with or without cause, the Company may exercise the Right of
Repurchase with respect to any or all of the Shares that are Restricted Shares
at the time of such termination for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days
after the date Stockholder’s service terminates for any reason (the “Repurchase
Period”).
2.9. Adjustment of Shares or
Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of
stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form
other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio,
a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding
securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional
securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary
cash dividend) that by reason of such transaction are distributed with respect
to any Shares or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall
immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate
adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be
made to the number and/or class of the Shares. After each such
transaction, appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the price per share
to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase in order to reflect any
change in the Company’s outstanding securities effected without receipt of
consideration therefor; provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price
payable for the Shares shall remain the same.
2.10. Termination of Rights as
Stockholder. If the Company makes available, at the time and
place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration
for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased in accordance with this Section 2,
then after such time the person or entity from whom such Restricted Shares are
to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares
(other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance
with this Agreement). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have
been repurchased in accordance with the applicable provisions
hereof.

or any other law.

States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees
prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal
executive office and to the Stockholder at the address that it most recently
provided to the Company.
6.2. Not an Employment
Contract. This Agreement shall not be deemed to be an
agreement to employ Stockholder or any representative thereof for a specific
term or to limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate Stockholder’s
or any of his representative’s, if any, employment at any time with or without
Cause.
6.3. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement
constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the
subject matter hereof. It supersedes any other agreements,
representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express
or implied) relating to the subject matter hereof.
6.4. Choice of
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied
to contracts entered into and to be performed entirely within such State. Except
for actions seeking injunctive relief (which may be brought in any appropriate
jurisdiction) suit under this Agreement shall only be brought in a court of
competent jurisdiction in the County of San Diego, State of
California. This choice of venue is intended by the parties to be
mandatory and not permissive in nature, and to preclude the possibility of
litigation between the parties with respect to, or arising out of, this
Agreement in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this
Section. Each party waives any right it may have to assert the
doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine or to object to venue with

join herein and to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions
hereof. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company.
6.6. Attorneys’ Fees. In
any dispute arising out of or related to the subject matter of this Agreement,

Assurances. The Stockholder and the Company agree upon request
to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable to carry
out the purposes or intent of this Agreement.
6.8. Tax
Liability. The Stockholder understands that the Stockholder
(and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Stockholder’s own federal,
state, local or foreign tax liability and any of the Stockholder’s other tax
consequences that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Stockholder shall rely solely on the determinations of
the Stockholder’s tax advisors or purchaser’s own determinations, and not on any
statements or representations by the Company or any of its agents, with regard
to all such tax matters. The acquisition of the Shares may result in
adverse tax consequences that may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election
under Section 83(b) of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended (the
“code”). Such election may be filed only within THIRTY (30) days
after the date of purchase. Purchaser should consult with his or
her tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Purchased
Units and the advantages and disadvantages of filing the code section 83(b)
election. The Stockholder acknowledges that it is his or her sole
responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file a timely election under section
83(b) of the internal revenue’s code of 1986, as amended, even if the
Stockholder requests the company or its representatives to make this filing on
his or her behalf.
6.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This
Agreement may be executed via facsimile or pdf with the same validity as if it
were an ink-signed document.
