WHEREAS, each of the Purchasers desires to acquire all of Seller’s right, title and interest to the Transferred Securities as set forth in Exhibit A.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.          Transfer of Transferred Securities. On the Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller hereby sells to each of the Purchasers, and each such Purchaser hereby purchases from Seller the number of Transferred Securities set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A hereto, at the aggregate price set forth on Exhibit A (the “Purchase Price”). Exhibit B hereto sets forth the price per share of D-1 Preferred Stock, the price per share of D-2 Preferred Stock and the price per Warrant in connection with the sale and purchase of the Transferred Securities. The Company hereby consents to such transfer and waives any applicable right of first refusal (the “Transfer Restrictions”) with respect to such transfer.

 

2.          Closing of Transfer.

 

(a)          Deliveries by Seller. Seller hereby delivers to the Company or is causing to be delivered to the Company on Seller’s behalf (i) any stock certificates and warrant certificates representing the Transferred Securities, if in Seller’s possession (or Seller otherwise authorizes the Company to remove any such stock certificates or warrant certificates from escrow for cancellation and reissuance to each of the Purchasers); and (ii) a duly authorized and executed copy of this Agreement, in each case the delivery of which is hereby acknowledged to be an express condition of the Company’s execution, delivery and performance pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller hereby delivers to each of the Purchasers an executed copy of this Agreement. Seller hereby instructs the Company to: (x) cancel any stock certificate and warrant certificate issued to Seller representing the Transferred Securities; and (y) issue duly executed stock certificates and a warrant certificate evidencing the Transferred Securities in the name of the Purchaser who is purchasing such Transferred Securities as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

 

 

 

(b)          Deliveries by Purchaser. Each of the Purchasers hereby delivers to Seller: (i) a duly authorized and executed copy of this Agreement, and (ii) the aggregate Purchase Price of the Transferred Securities to be purchased by such Purchaser, made payable to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller.

 

3.             Purchaser Representations and Warranties. Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants as follows to the Company and Seller:

 

(a)          Authority. Such Purchaser has full legal right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and this 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, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. Such Purchaser, if other than a natural person, has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization as the type of entity that it purports to be and all corporate or other entity actions necessary to authorize the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly taken. The person(s) executing and delivering this Agreement on behalf of such Purchaser are duly authorized to do so.

 

(b)          The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and the compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not conflict with, result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or require any consent or approval under, any agreement or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser may be bound, or result in the material violation of any law, rule or regulation or any writ, order or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Purchaser.

 

(c)          Purchase for Own Account. Such Purchaser is purchasing the Transferred Securities for such Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution of the Transferred Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Transferred Securities and such Purchaser has not granted or agreed to grant any beneficial ownership of any of the Transferred Securities to any other person (other than the members, manager, partners and/or stockholders of such Purchaser who may be deemed to have an indirect beneficial interest by virtue of their ownership interests in such Purchaser).

Such Purchaser further represents it has had an opportunity to pose questions and receive answers from the Company concerning the Company’s business, management and financial affairs.

 

(f)           Investment Experience. Such Purchaser 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 Transferred Securities.

(h)          Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Transferred Securities will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired 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 this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

 

(i)           Compliance with Securities Laws. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, in reliance upon the representations and warranties made by such Purchaser herein, the Transferred Securities are not being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Act or being qualified under the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended (the “California Law”), but instead are being transferred under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of the Act and California Law or other applicable securities laws which impose certain restrictions on such Purchaser’s ability to transfer the Transferred Securities.

 

(j)           Securities Law Restrictions on Transfer. Such Purchaser understands that such Purchaser may not transfer any Transferred Securities unless such Transferred Securities are registered under the Act or qualified under California Law or other applicable securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements are available. Such Purchaser understands that only the Company may file a registration statement with the SEC or the California Commissioner of Corporations or other applicable securities commissioners and that the Company is under no obligation to do so with respect to the Transferred Securities. Such Purchaser has also been advised that exemptions from registration and qualification may not be available or may not permit such Purchaser to transfer all or any of the Transferred Securities in the amounts or at the times proposed by such Purchaser.

(k)          No General Solicitation. At no time was such Purchaser presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television, internet or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the Transferred Securities.

 

(l)           Foreign Status. If such Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), such 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 Transferred Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Transferred 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 Transferred Securities.

4.             Seller Representations and Warranties. Seller hereby represents and warrants as follows to the Company and each of the Purchasers:

 

(a)          Title to Transferred Securities. Seller has valid marketable title to the Transferred Securities, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, claim or equitable interest other than the Transfer Restrictions and any restrictions imposed by applicable laws. Upon the sale and transfer of the Transferred Securities, and payment therefor, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each of the Purchasers will acquire valid marketable title to the Transferred Securities purchased by such Purchaser, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, claim or equitable interest other than the Transfer Restrictions and any restrictions imposed by applicable laws.

 

(b)          Authority. Seller has full legal right, power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and this 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, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. Seller is not obligated to transfer the Transferred Securities to any other person or entity other than pursuant to the Transfer Restrictions. Seller, if other than a natural person, has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization as the type of entity that it purports to be and all corporate or other entity actions necessary to authorize the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly taken. The person(s) executing and delivering this Agreement on behalf of Seller are duly authorized to do so.

Seller acknowledges that none of the Purchasers, the Company or their respective affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to Seller, and has not given Seller any investment advice, opinion or other information on whether the sale of the Transferred Securities is prudent. Seller further acknowledges that (A) any of the Purchasers currently may have, and later may come into possession of, other information with respect to the Company that is not known to Seller and that may be material to a decision to sell the Transferred Securities (“Seller Excluded Information”), (B) Seller has determined to sell the Transferred Securities notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Seller Excluded Information, and (C) neither any of the Purchasers nor the Company shall have any liability to Seller, and Seller waives and releases any claims that it might have against any such Purchaser or the Company, whether under applicable securities laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Seller Excluded Information in connection with the sale of the Transferred Securities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller understands that the Purchasers will rely on the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and Seller hereby consents to such reliance.

(e)          Confidentiality. Each of the Purchasers and Seller agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose or use for any purpose any information about the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any confidential information obtained from the Company in connection herewith, unless any such information (i) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by the disclosing party), or (ii) is or has been made known or disclosed to the disclosing party by a third party without a breach of any confidentiality obligations by such third party; provided, however, that either Seller or any of the Purchasers may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with the transfer and ownership of the Transferred Securities; (ii) to any affiliate in the ordinary course of business, provided that such affiliate agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance herewith; or (iii) as may be required by law or regulatory agencies, provided that the disclosing party promptly notifies the other parties hereto in advance of such disclosure and agrees to cooperate to take reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.

 

(f)           Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute such further documents and instruments and to take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

 

(g)          Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be effective until signed by all parties hereto, including the Company.

If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the value of this Agreement based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party is materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Unless this Agreement has been terminated, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that any breach by it of this Agreement shall cause any (or either) of the other parties irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensable by money damages. Accordingly, except in the case of termination, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party of any provision of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek the remedies of specific performance, injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief, without having to prove irreparable harm or actual damages. The foregoing right shall be in addition to such other rights or remedies as may be available to any party for such breach or threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of money damages.
