2.7. Offering. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of each
Investor's representations set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer,
sale and issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by this
Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the qualification or registration requirements
of the Law or other applicable blue sky laws, specifically including exemption
from the qualification requirements of the California Corporations Code by
virtue of Section 25102(f) thereof. Neither the Company nor any authorized agent
acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of
such exemptions.
2.8. Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending, or to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened against the Company
that questions the validity of this Agreement or the Related Documents or the
right of the Company to enter into such agreement or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse changes in the
prospects, business, assets or condition of the Company, financially or
otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is
the Company aware of any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing includes,
without limitation, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or
threatened (or any basis therefor known to the Company) involving any of the
officers or directors of the Company or 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
employees, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. 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.
2.9. Proprietary Information Agreements. Each employee, officer (other
than the Secretary) and consultant of the Company has executed a Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement in the form provided to special counsel to
the Investors. The Company, after reasonable investigation, is not aware that
any of its employees, officers or consultants are in violation thereof, and the
Company will use its best efforts to prevent any such violation.
2.10. Patents and Trademarks. The Company possesses (i) to its
knowledge (but without having conducted any special investigation or patent
search) all patents, patent rights and (ii) all trademarks, trademark rights,
service marks, service xxxx rights, trade names, trade name rights and
copyrights (collectively, the "Intellectual Property") necessary for its
business without any conflict with or infringement of the valid rights of others
and the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the operations or
condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company, and the Company has not
received any notice of infringement upon or conflict with the asserted rights of
others. The Schedule of Exceptions contains a complete list of all trademark and
patent and pending patent applications of the Company. The Company has a
valuable body of trade secrets, including know-how, concepts, and other
technical data (the "Proprietary Information") for the development, deployment
and marketing of its services. The Company has the right to use the Proprietary
Information free and clear of any rights, liens, encumbrances or claims of
others, except that the possibility exists that other persons may have
4.
9
independently developed trade secrets or technical information similar or
identical to those of the Company. The Company is not aware of any such
independent development nor of any misappropriation of its Proprietary
Information. 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 or her best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the
Company's business. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement or
the Related Documents, 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 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 to which any of such employees is now
obligated. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize
any inventions of any of its employees (or people it currently intends to hire)
made prior to their employment by the Company.
2.11. Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in
violation of any provision of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws nor in any
material respect of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract,
statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject and a violation of
which would have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or
otherwise, or operations of the Company. The execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the Related Documents and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such
violation, or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of
time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision or an event
that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets
of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or
nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable
to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.
2.12. Agreements; Action.
(a) Except for agreements explicitly contemplated hereby and by the
Related Documents, there are no agreements, understandings or proposed
transactions between the Company and any of its officers, directors, affiliates
or any affiliate thereof.
(b) There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts,
proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company
is a party or by which it is bound that may involve (i) obligations (contingent
or otherwise) of, or payments to the Company, in excess of $25,000, other than
obligations of, or payments to, the Company arising from purchase or sale
agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, (ii) the license of
any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right to or from the
Company, other than licenses arising from the purchase of "off the shelf" or
other standard products, or (iii) provisions restricting or affecting the
development, manufacture or distribution of the Company's products or services,
or (iv) indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of
proprietary rights, other than indemnification obligations arising from purchase
or sale agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business.
5.

(c) The Company has not (i) declared or paid any dividends or
authorized or made any distribution upon or with respect to any class or series
of its capital stock, (ii) incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed or any
other liabilities individually in excess of $25,000 or, in the case of
indebtedness and/or liabilities individually less than $25,000, in excess of
$50,000 in the aggregate, (iii) made any loans or advances to any person, other
than ordinary advances for travel expenses, or (iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise
disposed of any of its assets or rights.
(d) For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) above, all
indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts
and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons
or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be
aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of
such subsections.
(e) The Company is not a party to and is not bound by any contract,
agreement or instrument, or subject to any restriction under its Restated
Certificate or Bylaws that adversely affects its business as now conducted or as
proposed to be conducted, its properties or its financial condition.
(f) The Company has not engaged in the past three (3) months in any
discussion (i) with any representative of any corporation or corporations
regarding the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any such
corporation or corporations, (ii) with any corporation, partnership, association
or other business entity or any individual regarding the sale, conveyance or
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a
transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent
(50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, or (iii) regarding any
other form of acquisition, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company.
2.13. Related-Party Transactions. No employee, officer or director of
the Company or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to the Company,
nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee
credit) to any of them. To the best of the Company's knowledge, none of such
persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation
with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a business
relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the Company, except
that employees, officers or directors of the Company and members of their
immediate families may own stock in publicly traded companies that may compete
with the Company. No member of the immediate family of any officer or director
of the Company is directly or indirectly interested in any material contract
with the Company.
2.14. Section 83(b) Elections. To the best of the Company's knowledge,
all individuals who have purchased unvested shares of the Company's Common Stock
have timely filed elections under Section 83(b) of the Code and any analogous
provisions of applicable state tax laws.
2.15. Financial Statements. The Company has delivered to the Investor
its unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and statement of operations,
statement of
6.
11
stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows) at November 30, 1999 and for
the eleven months then ended (the "Financial Statements"). The Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and
with each other, except that unaudited Financial Statements may not contain all
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The Financial
Statements fairly present the financial condition and operating results of the
Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject in the
case of unaudited Financial Statements to normal year-end audit adjustments.
Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, the Company has no material
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business subsequent to November 30, 1999 and (ii) obligations
under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and
not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in
the Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or in the
aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or prospects operating
results of the Company. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, the
Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other
person, firm or corporation. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain
a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
2.16. Changes. Since November 30, 1999, there has not been:
(a) any change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition,
prospects or operating results of the Company from that reflected in the
Financial Statements, except changes in the ordinary course of business that
have not been, in the aggregate, materially adverse;
(b) any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by
insurance, materially and adversely affecting the assets, properties, financial
condition, prospects or operating results or business of the Company (as such
business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted);
(c) any waiver by the Company of a valuable right or of a material debt
owed to it;
(d) any satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim or encumbrance or
payment of any obligation by the Company, except in the ordinary course of
business and that is not material to the assets, properties, financial
condition, prospects or operating results or business of the Company (as such
business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted);
(e) any material change or amendment to a material contract or
arrangement by which the Company or any of its assets or properties is bound or
subject;
(f) any sale, assignment or transfer of any patents, trademarks,
copyrights, trade secrets or other intangible assets;
7.
12
(g) any resignation or termination of employment of any key officer of
the Company; and the Company, to the best of its knowledge does not know of the
impending resignation or termination of employment of any such officer;
(h) material change in any compensation arrangement or agreement with
any employee;
(i) receipt of notice that there has been or is threatened to be a loss
of, or material order cancellation by, any major customer of the Company;
(j) any mortgage, pledge, transfer of a security interest in, or lien,
created by the Company, with respect to any of its material properties or
assets, except liens for taxes not yet due or payable;
(k) any loans or guarantees made by the Company to or for the benefit
of its employees, officers or directors, or any members of their immediate
families, other than travel advances made in the ordinary course of its business
(l) any declaration, setting aside or payment or other distribution in
respect of any of the Company's capital stock, or any direct or indirect
redemption, purchase or other acquisition of any of such stock by the Company;
(m) to the best of the Company's knowledge, any other event or
condition of any character that could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the assets, properties, financial condition, prospects or
operating results or business of the Company (as such business is presently
conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted); or
(n) any agreement or commitment by the Company to do any of the things
described in this Section 2.15.
2.17. Tax Returns. The Company has filed all tax returns and reports as
required by law. These returns and reports are true and correct in all material
respects. The Company has paid all taxes and other assessments due, except those
contested by it in good faith which are listed in the Schedule of Exceptions.
The provision for taxes of the Company as shown in the Financial Statements is
adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. The Company has not
elected pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), to
be treated as a Subchapter S corporation or a collapsible corporation pursuant
to Section 341(f) or Section 1362(a) of the Code, nor has it made any other
elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections which relate solely to
methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) which would have a material
effect on the Company, its financial condition, its business as presently
conducted or proposed to be conducted or any of its properties or material
assets. The Company has never had any tax deficiency proposed or assessed
against it and has not executed any waiver of any statute of limitations on the
assessment or collection of any tax or governmental charge. None of the
Company's federal income tax returns and none of its state income or franchise
tax or sales or use tax returns has ever been audited by governmental
authorities. Since the date of the Financial Statements, the Company has not
incurred any taxes,
8.
13
assessments or governmental charges other than in the ordinary course of
business, and the Company has made adequate provisions on its books of account
for all taxes, assessments and governmental charges with respect to its
business, properties and operations for such period. The Company has withheld or
collected from each payment made to each of its employees, the amount of all
taxes (including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance
Contribution Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes) required to be
withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper tax
receiving officers or authorized depositories.
2.18. Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and
any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business,
properties or financial condition of the Company. The Company is not in default
in any material respect under any of such franchises, permits, licenses or other
similar authority.
2.19. Environmental and Safety Laws. The Company is not in violation of
any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the environment or
occupational health and safety, and no material expenditures are or will be
required in order to comply with any such existing statute, law or regulation.
2.20. Disclosure. The Company has fully provided each Investor with all
the information that such Investor has requested for deciding whether to

and each such agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation,
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
10.
15
3.2. Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with
such Investor in reliance upon such Investor's representation to the Company,
which by such Investor's execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby
confirms, that the Series A Preferred Stock to be received by such Investor and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively, the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment for such Investor's own account,
not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of
any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. By executing
this Agreement, such Investor further represents that such Investor does not
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell, transfer or grant participation's to such person or to any third person,
with respect to any of the Securities.
3.3. Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has received
all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether
to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock. Such Investor further represents that
it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company
regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series A Preferred
Stock and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the
Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations
and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the
Investors to rely thereon.
3.4. Investment Experience. Such Investor 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 Series A Preferred Stock. If other

the purpose of acquiring the Series A Preferred Stock.
3.5. Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 501 of
Regulation D, as presently in effect.
3.6. Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
Securities 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 circumstances. In the absence of an effective
registration statement covering the Securities (or the Common Stock issued on
conversion thereof) or an available exemption from registration under the Act,
the Series A Preferred Stock (and any Common Stock issued on conversion thereof)
must be held indefinitely. In this connection, such Investor represents that it
is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the
resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act, including without limitation
the Rule 144 condition that current information about the Company be available
to the public. Such information is not now available and the Company has no
present plans to make such information available.
11.
16
3.7. Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting
the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make
any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the
transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by
this Section 3 and the Investors' Rights Agreement, and:
(a) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act
covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such registration statement; or
(b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by
the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not
require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the Company
will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144
except in unusual circumstances.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no
such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a
transfer to any wholly owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation or
entity that is, within the meaning of the Act, controlled by or under common
control with, the transferring Investor, for a transfer by an Investor that is a
partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such
partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such
partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession
of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or
ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the transferee agrees in
writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she
were an original Investor hereunder.
3.8. Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:
(a) "These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or
hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect
to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule
144 of such Act."
(b) Any legend required by the laws of the State of California,
including any legend required by the California Department of Corporations and
Sections 417 and 418 of the California Corporations Code.
3.9. Tax Advisors. Such Investor has reviewed with such Investor's own
tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of this investment,
where applicable, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each such
Investor is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or
representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that each
such Investor (and not the Company) shall be responsible for such
12.
17
Investor's own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3.10. Investor Counsel. Such Investor acknowledges that such Investor
has had the opportunity to review this Agreement, the exhibits and the schedules
attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with such
Investor's own legal counsel. Each such Investor is relying solely on such
Investor's legal counsel and not on any statements or representations of the
Company or any of the Company's agents, including Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx
LLP, for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 3.10 is
