and its officers, directors and shareholders that is necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and related documents
((collectively, the "Transaction Documents") by the Company, for the performance
of the Company's obligations hereunder and thereunder, and for the
authorization, issuance, and delivery of the Shares and the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares has been taken; and this
Agreement, when executed and delivered, shall constitute a valid and legally
binding obligation of the Company.
3.5 Validity of Series A Shares. The Shares and the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares, when issued, sold and
delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

or filings with, any federal or state governmental authority on the part of the

effective as of each Closing with the exceptions of a notice pursuant to Section

from different jurisdictions, which will be filed immediately following each
Closing.
3.7 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in
violation or default of any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws, each in effect on and as of each Closing, or, in any material respect,
of any provision of any instrument, contract, order,
3
4
judgment or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or, to its
knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule, or
governmental regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation, be in conflict with
or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, a
default under any such provision, or result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, claim, or encumbrance on any asset of the Company.
3.8 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, or
investigation pending or currently threatened against the Company that questions
the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Company to enter into it, or
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or that might result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse changes in the assets,
conditions, affairs, or prospects of the Company, financially or otherwise, or
any change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is the Company
aware that there is any basis for the foregoing. The Company is not a party or
subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment, or decree of
any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit,
proceeding, or investigation by the Company currently pending or that the
Company intends to initiate.
3.9 Information; Misleading Statements. The Company has provided each
Purchaser with all the information that such Purchaser has requested for
deciding whether to purchase the Shares and all information that the Company
believes is reasonably necessary to enable such Purchaser to make such decision.
No representation, warranty, or statement by the Company in this Agreement or in
any written statement or certificate furnished or to be furnished to the
Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or, when taken together, omits or will omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements made herein or therein
not misleading.
3.10 No Material Adverse Change. No Material Adverse Effect has
occurred or exists, and no event or circumstance has occurred that with notice
or the passage of time or both is reasonably likely to result in a Material
Adverse Effect with respect to the Company. There have been no Material Adverse
Effects, which would effect the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. "Material Adverse Effect" means any adverse effect on the business,
operations, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the entity with
respect to which such term is used and which is (either alone or together with
all other adverse effects) material to such entity, and any material adverse
effect on the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents.
3.11 No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company has no liabilities or
obligations other than those liabilities represented in the financial statements
of the Company distributed to Purchasers or liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of the Company's businesses, which liabilities, individually or in the
aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
4
5
3.12 Intellectual Property. The Company owns or has licenses to use
all patents, copyrights and trademarks ("Intellectual Property") associated with
its business. The Company has all Intellectual Property rights which are needed
to conduct the business of the Company as it is now being conducted and as
proposed to be conducted. The Company has no reason to believe that the
Intellectual Property rights which it owns are invalid or unenforceable or that
the use of such Intellectual Property by the Company infringes upon or conflicts
with any right of any third party, and neither the Company nor its agents have
received notice of any such infringement or conflict. The Company has no
knowledge of any infringement of its Intellectual Property by any third party.
3.13 Certain Transactions. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.13, none
of the officers, directors or employees of the Company is presently a party to
any transaction with the Company (other than for services as employees, officers
and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing
for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental or sale of real or
personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director
or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner.
3.14 Employees. To the Company's knowledge, no employee of the
Company is in violation of any term of any employment contract, patent
disclosure agreement or any other contract or agreement relating to the
relationship of such employee with the Company or any other party because of the
nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by the Company. Each
employee of the Company with access to confidential or proprietary information
has executed a confidentiality agreement. The Company is not aware that any of
its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or
commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with
the use of his best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that
would conflict with the Company's business as proposed to be conducted. Neither
the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the
Company's business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the
Company's business as proposed, will, to the Company's knowledge, conflict with
or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a
default under, any contract.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.
4.1 Authorization. Each Purchaser represents and warrants severally
and not jointly that this Agreement, when executed and delivered by it, will
constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser.
4.2 Legal Investment. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that the
purchase of the Shares will be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to
which the Purchaser is subject. Furthermore, each Purchaser represents that it
has the power and authority to enter into and perform the Agreement.
5
6
4.3 Purchase for Own Account. Each Purchaser represents that it is
acquiring the Shares solely for its own account and beneficial interest for
investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Shares or any
part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a
distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in or otherwise
distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change
in such intention. Each Purchaser also represents that the entire legal and
beneficial interest of the Shares it is purchasing is being purchased for the
account of the Purchaser, or its Nominee which has been identified to the
Company and is reasonably acceptable to Company, only and neither in whole nor
in part for any other person, and that any transfer of the Shares will be made
in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the
California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, to the extent applicable, and all
other applicable securities laws.
4.4 Information and Sophistication. Each Purchaser acknowledges that
it has received all the information it has requested from the Company and
considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase Shares. Each
Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Shares and to obtain any additional information necessary to
verify the accuracy of the information given the Purchaser.
4.5 Ability to Bear Economic Risk. Each Purchaser acknowledges that
investment in the Series A Shares involves a high degree of risk, and represents
that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold
the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss on its
investment.
4.6 Restricted Securities; Limitation on Disposition.
(a) Restricted. Each Purchaser understands that the Shares 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 sets of circumstances. In this connection, each
Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") Rule 144, as presently in effect. Each Purchaser understands that prior
to the Initial Public Offering of the Company's Common Stock (as defined in the
Investors Rights Agreement), the Company will be under no obligation to make
public the information necessary for the Purchasers to obtain the benefits of
Rule 144.
(b) Disposition. Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser
agrees that it will in no event make any disposition of any of the Shares unless
and until:
(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under
the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with said registration statement; or
6
7
(ii) The Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the
details of the proposed disposition and, if the Company so reasonably requests,
shall have provided the Company with an opinion of counsel for the Purchaser
(reasonably acceptable to the Company) to the effect that such disposition will
not require registration of the Shares under the Act.
(c) Legends. Each Purchaser understands that the Company's stock
transfer records will be noted to reflect the restrictions on transferability of
the Shares contained herein and that certificates evidencing the Shares may bear
one or more of the following legends:
(i) "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, OR
HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE
SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."
(ii) Any legend imposed or required pursuant to applicable
state securities law.
