     THIS SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 16, 2010, by and among PACIFIC BIOSCIENCES OF CALIFORNIA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of those persons and entities, severally and not jointly, whose names are set forth on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as Exhibit A (which persons and entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Purchasers” and each individually as a “Purchaser”).
     THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
     1. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE
          1.1 Authorization of Shares. The Company has authorized (a) the sale and issuance to Purchasers of up to an aggregate of 19,659,240 shares of its Series F Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) and (b) the shares of Junior Preferred Stock and Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any such shares of Junior Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). The Shares and the Conversion Shares have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Restated Charter”).
          1.2 Sale and Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, and each Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, severally and not jointly, the number of Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A, at a purchase price of seven dollars and sixty-three cents ($7.63) per share.
     2. CLOSING, DELIVERY AND PAYMENT.
          2.1 Closing.
               (a) The purchase, sale and issuance of the shares shall take place at one or more closings (each of which is referred to in this Agreement as a “Closing”). The initial Closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares under this Agreement (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place at 1:00 p.m. local time on the date hereof, at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California, 94304 or at such other time or place as the Company and Purchasers may mutually agree.
               (b) If less than all of the Shares are sold and issued at the Initial Closing, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company may sell and issue at one or more subsequent Closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”), within 90 days after the Initial Closing,

1


 

up to the balance of the unissued Shares to such persons or entities as may be approved by the Company. Any such sale and issuance in a Subsequent Closing shall be on the same terms and conditions as those contained herein, and such persons or entities shall, upon execution and delivery of the relevant signature pages, become parties to, and be bound by, this Agreement, the Fifth Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the Fifth Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Co-Sale Agreement”), and the Fifth Amended and Restated Voting Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Voting Agreement,” and together with this Agreement, the Co-Sale Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, the “Related Agreements”), without the need for an amendment to any of the Related Agreements except to add such person’s or entity’s name to the appropriate exhibit to such Related Agreements, and shall have the rights and obligations hereunder and thereunder, in each case as of the date of the applicable Subsequent Closing. The Company will promptly furnish to each Purchaser copies of the amended exhibits referred to in the preceding sentence. Each Subsequent Closing shall take place at such date, time and place as shall be approved by the Company in its sole discretion.
          2.2 Delivery. At each Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser a certificate representing the number of Shares to be purchased at the Closing by such Purchaser, against payment of the purchase price therefor by check, wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company, cancellation or conversion of indebtedness or any combination of the foregoing, or in the case of Deerfield Private Design Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Private Design International, L.P., in the form of a promissory note acceptable to the Company.
     3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
     Except as set forth on a Schedule of Exceptions delivered by the Company to Purchasers at the applicable Closing, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows:
          3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business, own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, Co-Sale Agreement and Voting Agreement, to issue and sell the Shares and the Conversion Shares, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and the Restated Charter and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business, properties, assets or financial condition.
          3.2 Subsidiaries. The Company does not own or control any equity security or other interest of any other corporation, limited partnership or other business entity. The Company is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement. Since its inception, the

               (e) All issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities and (iii) solely with respect to the Common Stock or Junior Preferred Stock

               (a) Any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company from that reflected in the Financial Statements, other than changes in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate has had a material adverse effect on such assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company;

          3.10 Title to Properties and Assets; Liens, Etc.. The Company has good and marketable title to its properties and assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the most recent balance sheet included in the Financial Statements, and good title to its leasehold estates, in each case subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, lease, encumbrance or charge, other than (a) those resulting from taxes which have not yet become delinquent, (b) minor liens and encumbrances which do not materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company, and (c) those that have otherwise arisen in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s use and ownership of such property and assets. The Company is in compliance with all material terms of each lease to which it is a party or is otherwise bound. The Company’s properties and assets are in good condition and repair in all material respects, normal wear and tear excepted.
          3.11 Intellectual Property.
               (a) To the best of its knowledge, the Company owns or possesses sufficient legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information and other proprietary rights and processes necessary for its business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, without any known infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing proprietary rights to which the Company is a party, nor is the Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information and other proprietary rights and processes of any other person or entity other than such licenses or agreements arising from the purchase of “off the shelf” or standard products.
               (b) The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as presently proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity, nor is the Company aware of any basis therefor that has not previously been disclosed to the Purchasers. To the Company’s knowledge, the Company has not violated any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets of any other person or entity.
               (c) 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

7


 

subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with their duties to the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as proposed to be conducted. Each current and former employee, officer and consultant of the Company has executed a proprietary information and inventions agreement in the form(s) as delivered to Purchasers. No current or former employee, officer or consultant of the Company has excluded works or inventions made prior to his or her employment with the Company from his or her assignment of inventions pursuant to such employee, officer or consultant’s proprietary information and inventions agreement. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the Related Agreements, or any amendments thereto, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business, will, to the best of 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, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated. To the Company’s knowledge, no employee or officer of the Company has used any patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) of a third party (including, without limitation, development of any Company Intellectual Property). The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize any Intellectual Property of any of its employees (or people it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by the Company, and at present no such employee Intellectual Property forms a part of any Company Intellectual Property except that which has already been assigned to the Company by its employees or the Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. The Schedule of Exceptions contains a complete list of patents and pending and provisional patent applications owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company. The Company has taken reasonable steps to protect and preserve the confidentiality of all confidential, non-public information desired to be kept confidential by the Company.
          3.12 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any term of its charter documents, each as amended, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument or contract to which it is party or by which it or any of its assets or properties is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ other than any such violation that would not have a material adverse effect on the Company, its business, properties, assets or financial condition. The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and the Related Agreements, and the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant hereto and of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Restated Charter, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a material default under any such term, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or 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 or any of its assets or properties. To its knowledge, the Company has not performed any act, nor does any condition exist, the occurrence or existence of which would result in the Company’s loss of any right granted under any license, distribution agreement or other agreement required to be disclosed on the Schedule of Exceptions.
          3.13 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened in writing against the Company that questions the

8


 

validity of this Agreement, the Related Agreements or the right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse effect on the Company, or the business, properties, assets, condition or affairs 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 any of the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in writing involving the prior employment of any of the Company’s employees, their use in connection with the Company’s business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The Company is not a party or to its knowledge 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 which the Company intends to initiate.
          3.14 Tax Returns and Payments. The Company is and always has been a subchapter C corporation. The Company has filed all tax returns (federal, state and local) required to be filed by it and such returns are true and correct in all material respects. All taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and to the Company’s knowledge all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or before the Closing, have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become delinquent. The Company has no knowledge of any liability of any tax to be imposed upon its properties or assets as of the date of this Agreement that is not adequately provided for. The Company has not been advised (a) that any of its returns, federal, state or local, have been or are being audited as of the date hereof, or (b) of any deficiency in assessment or proposed adjustment to its federal, state or local taxes.
          3.15 Employees. The Company is not a party to nor bound by any currently effective employment contract, deferred compensation arrangement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement or other employee compensation plan or agreement. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees. Subject to applicable law, the employment of each officer and employee of the Company is terminable at the will of the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company; and to the Company’s knowledge the continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company’s contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. No employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer, key employee or group of employees intends to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company, nor does the Company have a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or group of employees. There are no actions pending, or to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, by any former or current employee concerning such person’s employment by the Company. To the best of its knowledge, the Company has complied in

9


 

all material respects with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours and other laws related to employment, and there are no arrears in the payment of wages, withholding or social security taxes, unemployment insurance premiums or other similar obligation.
          3.16 Registration Rights and Voting Rights. Except as required pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company is presently not under any obligation, and has not granted any rights, to register (as defined in Section 1.1 of the Investor Rights Agreement) any of the Company’s presently outstanding securities or any of its securities that may hereafter be issued.

Upon their execution and delivery, this Agreement and the Related Agreements will be valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies, and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable laws.
          4.2 Investment Representations. Purchaser understands that neither the Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act. Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Purchaser’s representations contained in the Agreement. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as follows:
               (a) Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of registering the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock. Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Shares or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Purchaser might propose.
               (b) Acquisition for Own Account. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the Conversion Shares for Purchaser’s own account or for the account of its clients as an investment advisor for investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution.

               (c) Purchaser Can Protect Its Interest. Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial experience, Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and the Related Agreements. Further, Purchaser is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.

               (e) Company Information.

Purchaser has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment.
               (f) Rule 144. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares, and, if issued, the Conversion Shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.
               (g) Residence. If Purchaser is an individual, then Purchaser resides in the state or province identified in the address of Purchaser set forth on Exhibit A; if Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of Purchaser in which its investment decision was made is located at the address or addresses of Purchaser set forth on Exhibit A.
               (h) Foreign Investors. If Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Purchaser 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 Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government 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 Shares. The Company’s offer and sale and Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

          6.3 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each person who shall be a holder of the Shares from time to time; provided, however, that prior to the receipt by the Company of adequate written notice of the transfer of any Shares specifying the full name and address of the transferee, the Company may deem and treat the person listed as the holder of such Shares in its records as the absolute owner and holder of such Shares for all purposes.
          6.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto, the Related Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants and agreements except as specifically set forth herein and therein. Each party

16


 

expressly represents and warrants that it is not relying on any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants or agreements outside of the Agreement and the Related Agreements.
          6.5 Severability. In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
          6.6 Amendment and Waiver.
               (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in Section 2.1(b), this Agreement may be amended or modified only upon the written consent of the Company and holders of a majority of the then outstanding Shares (treated as if converted and including any Conversion Shares into which the then outstanding Shares have been converted that have not been sold to the public).
               (b) The obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Shares and the Conversion Shares under the Agreement may be waived only with the written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Shares (treated as if converted and including any Conversion Shares into which the then outstanding Shares have been converted that have not been sold to the public).
          6.7 Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, the Related Agreements or the Restated Charter, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on any party’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement, the Related Agreements or under the Restated Charter or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of the Agreement, the Related Agreements, or the Restated Charter must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

The applicable rules of professional conduct require that WSGR inform the parties hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. WSGR has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of the Financing solely on behalf of the Company. The Company and each Purchaser hereby (a) acknowledge that they have

17


 

had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation; (b) acknowledge that with respect to the Financing, WSGR has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser; and (c) gives its informed consent to WSGR’s representation of the Company in the Financing.

As WSGR acts as counsel to WS Investment Companies, WS Investment Companies could be considered to have interests adverse to the Company. The applicable rules of professional conduct require that before WS Investment Companies can invest in future financings and purchase additional securities from the Company (i) the terms of the transaction must be fully and fairly disclosed, (ii) the Company must be given the right to seek advice of an independent attorney, and (iii) the Company must consent to the terms of the transaction. WSGR has served as outside general counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges (i) disclosure to it of the transaction with WS Investment Companies and (ii) that it has had a reasonable opportunity to consult independent counsel. The Company hereby agrees that (i) WSGR may act as the Company’s counsel in connection with the Financing and (ii) WSGR may continue to act as general counsel for the Company and to WS Investment Companies in other matters.
          6.9 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail, telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address as set forth on the signature page hereof and to Purchaser at the address set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto or at such other address or electronic mail address as the Company or Purchaser may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

Each party shall pay all costs and expenses that it incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall, at the Closing, reimburse the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Purchasers, up to a total of $60,000, allocated as follows: (i) up to a total of $15,000 for other Purchasers, and (ii) up to a total of $45,000 for the lead Purchaser.
          6.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any suit or action is instituted under or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement,

18


 

including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.
          6.12 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of the Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.
          6.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
          6.14 Broker’s Fees. Each party hereto represents and warrants that no agent, broker, investment banker, person or firm acting on behalf of or under the authority of such party hereto is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission directly or indirectly in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Each party hereto further agrees to indemnify each other party for any claims, losses or expenses incurred by such other party as a result of the representation in this Section 6.14 being untrue.
          6.15 Exculpation Among Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the Shares and Conversion Shares.
          6.16 Rights of Purchasers. Each Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or privileges that such Purchaser may have pursuant to this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the Restated Charter, the Company’s Bylaws or at law or in equity, and such Purchaser shall not incur or be subject to any liability or obligation, any other Purchaser or holder of Shares, any other stockholder or securityholder of the Company or any other person, by reason of exercising or refraining from exercising any such rights or privileges, provided, however that this provision shall not relieve any Purchaser of their voting obligations pursuant to the Voting Agreement.
          6.17 No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser has made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than the purchase of the Shares as set forth in Section 1.2 and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.1. In addition, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) no statements, whether written or oral, made by any Purchaser or its representatives on or prior to the date hereof shall have created an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment, (ii) the Company shall not rely on any such statement by any Purchaser or its representatives and (iii) an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Company in obtaining any financing or investment may only be created by a written agreement, signed by such Purchaser and the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of such financing

19


 

or investment and stating that the parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. Absent a written agreement to the contrary, signed by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse or decline to participate in any other financing of or investment in the Company, and shall have no obligation to assist or cooperate with the Company in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance.
