3.1 Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and each such 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, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Investors’ Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

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 Shares to be received by such Investor and the Conversion Shares (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 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 participations 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 Shares. 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 Shares 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 Shares. If other than an individual, Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

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 will be 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 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.

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:

(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

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 by an Investor that is a partnership to an affiliated venture fund or a partner of such partnership, or to the estate of any such 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 prospective transferee agrees in all such instances 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 applicable state “blue sky” securities laws, rules and regulations.

3.9 Exculpation Among Investors. Each Investor 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 Investor agrees that no Investor nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Investor shall be liable to any other Investor for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

4. Conditions of Investors’ Obligations at Closing.

6.1 Survival of Warranties. The warranties, representations and covenants of the Company and Investors contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing and shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investors or the Company; provided, however, that the warranties, representations and covenants of the Company set forth in Section 2.31 shall only survive until the earlier of (a) the three (3) year anniversary of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (b) immediately prior to the initial closing of the next round of equity financing of the Company following the issuance of the shares of Series A-1 contemplated by this Agreement with gross cash proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000 at a per share price not less than the Series A-1 Purchase Price (such number as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations or the like).

6.2 Indemnification; Put Right.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.2, in consideration of each Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each permitted transferee of the Securities and all of their partners, members, officers, directors and employees and any of the foregoing persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Claims”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Section 2.31 of this Agreement (a “Violation”). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Claims which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) Procedures for Indemnification. Promptly after an Indemnitee has knowledge of any Claim as to which such Indemnitee reasonably believes indemnity may be sought or promptly after such Indemnitee receives notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnitee shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any the Company under this Section 6.2, deliver to the Company a written notice of such Claim, and

the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Company, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expense of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. In the case of the Indemnitees, the legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding a majority in interest of the Securities to which the Claim relates. The Indemnitees shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information reasonably available to the Indemnitees which relates to such action or Claim. The Company shall keep the Indemnitees fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a full release from all liability in respect to such Claim and action and proceeding. After indemnification as provided for under this Agreement, the rights of the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitees with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company as provided in this Agreement shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnitees under this Section 6.2, except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(c) Put Right. Subject to applicable law, in the event of any final, non-appealable adjudication that a Violation has occurred, each Investor shall have the right to sell to the Company the Securities equal to the number of shares each Investor originally purchased from the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

(i) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the Company shall be equal to the price per share paid by the Investor to the Company (such number as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations or the like).

(ii) The Company shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold by an Investor pursuant to this Section 6.2, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor, in cash or by other means acceptable to the Investor.

(d) Survival of and Limitation of Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.2 shall survive the transfer of the Securities by the Indemnitees; provided, that such transfer is made to an existing investor in the Investor or an affiliated entity of the Investor. In addition, in no event shall the obligations of the Company to indemnify an Investor or permitted transferee exceed the aggregate amount of such Investor’s initial investment in the Company under this Agreement.

6.3 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties (including transferees of any Securities).

All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at the addresses set forth on the signature pages attached hereto (or at such other addresses as shall be specified by notice given in accordance with this Section 6.6).

6.8 Finder’s Fee. Each party represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finders’ fee or commission in connection with this transaction.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finders’ fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Company or any of its officers, employees or representatives is responsible.

6.9 Expenses. Irrespective of whether any Closing is effected, the Company shall pay all costs and expenses that it incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. If the First Closing is effected, the Company shall, at the First Closing, reimburse the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP, special counsel for the Investors, not to exceed $40,000.

6.10 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least fifty-five percent (55%) of the Conversion Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Shares purchased hereunder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this section shall be binding upon each holder of any securities purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding (including securities into which such securities are convertible), each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.

6.11 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

6.12 Corporate Securities Law. THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR SUCH SECURITIES PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102 OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON SUCH QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.

6.13 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of the Preferred Stock held or acquired by affiliated entities or persons shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.

6.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.

6.15 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

6.16 Arbitration. The Company and the other parties hereto agree first to negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes arising out of or relating to or affecting the subject matter of this Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to or affecting the subject matter of this Agreement not resolved by negotiation shall be settled by binding arbitration in Santa Xxxxx County, California before the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) under the JAMS Rules of Practice and Procedure. The arbitrator shall be a former judge of a court of California.

Opinion of Counsel for the Company

August 12, 2008

To the Purchasers of Series A Preferred Stock

of RPX Corporation Listed

on Schedule A to the Series A and A-1 Preferred

Stock Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for RPX Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the sale by the Company to you of shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) dated as of August 12, 2008 among the Company and the persons listed on Schedule A attached thereto (the “Purchasers”), and the execution and delivery by the Company of the Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”), the Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) and the First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (the “Co-Sale Agreement”) each dated August 12, 2008. This opinion is given to you pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Stock Purchase Agreement in connection with the First Closing of the sale of the Shares. The Stock Purchase Agreement, the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Co-Sale Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents.” Unless defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning given them in the Transaction Documents.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined such matters of law as we considered necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made by the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Opinion Certificate (defined below) and upon certificates and statements of government officials and of officers of the Company. In addition, we have examined originals or copies of documents, corporate records and other writings that we consider relevant for the purposes of this opinion. In such examination, we have assumed that the signatures on documents and instruments examined by us are authentic, that each is what it purports to be, and that all documents and instruments submitted to us as copies or facsimiles conform with the originals, which facts we have not independently verified.

In making our examination of documents, we have further assumed that (i) each party to such documents (other than the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents) had the power, legal competence and capacity to enter into and perform all of such party’s obligations thereunder, (ii) each party to such documents (other than the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents) has duly authorized, executed and delivered such documents, (iii) each of such documents is enforceable against and binding upon the parties thereto (other than the Transaction Documents against the Company), and (iv) there is no fact or circumstance relating to you or your business that might prevent you from enforcing any of the

rights provided for in the Transaction Documents. We have also assumed that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Documents that would modify or interpret the terms of the Transaction Documents or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

As used in this opinion, the expression “to our knowledge” or “known to us” with reference to matters of fact refers to the current actual knowledge of attorneys within the firm principally responsible for handling current matters for the Company. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any other facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any such facts should be drawn from our representation of the Company or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.

Where statements in this opinion are qualified by the term “material” or “materially,” those statements involve judgments and opinions as to the materiality or lack of materiality of any matter to the Company’s business, assets, results of operations or financial condition that are entirely those of the Company and its officers, after having been advised by us as to the legal effect and consequences of such matters. Such opinions and judgments are not known to us to be incorrect.

We express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of California, the corporate law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United States of America. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph (a) below as to the good standing of the Company, we have relied exclusively on certificates of public officials.

In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph (d) below relating to the fully paid status of all of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company, we have relied without independent verification on the certificate of the officers of the Company (the “Opinion Certificate”), to the effect that the Company has received the consideration approved by its Board of Directors for all of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company.

In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph (d) relating to the status of the capitalization of the Company, we have relied without further investigation on (i) the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”), (ii) minute books relating to meetings and written actions of the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company and stock records in our possession, and (iii) statements in the Opinion Certificate relating to the capitalization of the Company. The Company has represented to us that these records completely and accurately describe all of the Company’s issuances of shares of its capital stock, options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights to purchase shares of its capital stock. Although we have no knowledge that the information as to outstanding stock, options, warrants, conversion privileges and other rights provided by the Company and reflected in paragraph (d) is incorrect, based on the examination referred to above, we are not in a position to verify its

accuracy or completeness, other than to say that our records are not inconsistent with such information.

We note that the parties to the Voting Agreement have designated the laws of the State of Delaware as the laws governing the Voting Agreement. Our opinion in paragraph (e) below as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Voting Agreement is premised upon the result that would be obtained if a California court were to apply the internal laws of the State of California to the interpretation and enforcement of the Voting Agreement (notwithstanding the designation therein of the laws of the State of Delaware). We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.

In rendering the opinion in paragraph (g) relating to violations of United States federal, California or Delaware corporate laws, rules or regulations applicable to the Company, such opinion is limited to such laws, rules or regulations that in our experience are typically applicable to a transaction of the nature contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraphs (g), (h) and (i) below, we have assumed the accuracy of, and have relied upon, the Company’s representations to us that the Company has made no offer to sell the Shares by means of any general solicitation or publication of any advertisement therefor.

In connection with the general enforceability opinion set forth in paragraph (e), this opinion is qualified by, and we render no opinion with respect to, the following:

(i) We express no opinion as to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the relief of debtors or the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other law regarding fraudulent conveyances, preferential transfers and equitable subordination;

(ii) Our opinions are qualified by the limitations imposed by general principles of equity upon the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of provisions of the Transaction Documents, and by the effect of judicial decisions which have held that certain provisions are unenforceable when their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable, or where their breach is not material;

(iii) We express no opinion as to the effect of Section 1670.5 of the California Civil Code or any other California law, United States federal or Delaware law or equitable principle which provides that a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the application of, a contract or any clause thereof which the court finds to have been unconscionable at the time it was made or contrary to public policy;

(iv) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Transaction Documents expressly or by implication waiving broadly or vaguely stated rights or

unknown future rights, or waiving rights granted by law where such waivers are against public policy;

(v) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of any Transaction Document purporting to (a) waive rights to trial by jury, service of process or objections to the laying of venue or to forum in connection with any litigation arising out of or pertaining to the Transaction Documents, (b) exclude conflict of law principles under California law, (c) establish particular courts as the forum for the adjudication of any controversy relating to the Transaction Documents, (d) establish the laws of any particular state or jurisdiction for the adjudication of any controversy relating to the Transaction Documents, (e) establish evidentiary standards or make determinations conclusive or (f) provide for arbitration of disputes;

(vi) We express no opinion as to the effect of judicial decisions, that may permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence to modify the terms or the interpretation of the Transaction Documents;

(vii) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provisions of the Transaction Documents providing that (a) rights or remedies are not exclusive, (b) rights or remedies may be exercised without notice, (c) every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy, (d) the election of a particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or more other remedies, (e) liquidated damages are to be paid upon the breach of any Transaction Document or (f) the failure to exercise, or any delay in exercising, rights or remedies available under the Transaction Documents will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy;

(viii) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the indemnification and contribution provisions in the Investors’ Rights Agreement or the Stock Purchase Agreement;

(ix) We note that a requirement that provisions of the Transaction Documents may only be waived in writing may not be binding or enforceable if an oral agreement has been created modifying any such provision or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has given rise to a waiver; and

(x) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provisions in the Transaction Documents concerning the obligation of the Company (or its underwriters or agents) to sell shares of stock to certain Purchasers in connection with a public offering.

In addition to the foregoing, the opinions expressed below are specifically subject to the following qualifications and assumptions:

(i) We express no opinion as to compliance with any federal or state antitrust statutes, rules or regulations, including without limitation the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976;

(ii) We have assumed and express no opinion with respect to (a) the accuracy and completeness of representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in the Transaction Documents, and (b) the validity of any wire transfers, drafts or checks tendered by the Purchasers;

(iii) We express no opinion as to compliance with applicable antifraud statutes, rules or regulations of applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance or sale of securities, including, without limitation, (a) the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the Company to the Purchasers in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares, and (b) the accuracy or fairness of the past, present or future fair market value of any securities;

(iv) We express no opinion as to whether the members of the Company’s Board of Directors have complied with their fiduciary duties in connection with the authorization and performance of the Transaction Documents.

(v) We have assumed that the Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby, were fair and reasonable to the Company at the time of their authorization by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders within the meaning of Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and except as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Schedule of Exceptions thereto, we are of the opinion that:

(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all corporate power and authority necessary to own its properties and to conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted. The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the State of California.

(b) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(c) All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the obligations under the Transaction Documents by the Company has been taken.

(d) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 9,999,998 of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, and 14,400,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 7,100,000 shares of which have been designated Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), none of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing, and 7,300,000 shares of which have been designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Preferred”), none of which are issued and outstanding prior to the Closing. All of such issued and outstanding shares are duly authorized and validly issued, and to our knowledge, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company has reserved 6,979,311 shares of Series A Preferred and up to 7,300,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred for issuance under the Stock Purchase Agreement and 3,819,474 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Company’s 2008 Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”). To our knowledge, except as described above or on the Schedule of Exceptions, there are no other presently outstanding preemptive rights, options, warrants, conversion privileges or rights to purchase from the Company any of the authorized but unissued stock of the Company other than (i) the conversion privileges of the Company’s Preferred Stock, (ii) any options that may have

been granted under the Stock Plan and (iii) the rights of first refusal set forth in Section 2.4 of the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

(e) The Transaction Documents constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provisions in the Transaction Documents concerning the voting of the Company’s capital stock. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

(f) The Shares to be issued on the date hereof, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Shares has been duly and validly reserved for issuance and, assuming the Shares are converted in accordance with the Restated Certificate as of the date hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(g) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents will not, as of the Closing, result in (i) a violation of the Company’s Restated Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) a material violation of any statute, rule or regulation of United States federal, Delaware corporate or California law applicable to the Company, or (iii) a violation of any judgment or order specifically identified on the Schedule of Exceptions, if any.

(h) No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with, any United States federal, Delaware corporate or California governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares (and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof), except the notice filing required by Section 25102(f) or 25102.1 of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended and the filing of a Form D pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act.

(i) Based in part upon the representations made by you in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to be issued in conformity with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Common Stock, if any, to be issued upon conversion thereof, constitute transactions exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended.

In addition to the foregoing, we supplementally inform you that, to our knowledge and except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against the Company that (i) questions the validity of the Transaction Documents or the right of the Company to enter into the Transaction Documents or (ii) if determined adversely, would be likely to result in a material adverse change in the financial condition or business of the Company. Please note that we have not conducted a docket search in any jurisdiction with respect to litigation that may be pending against the Company or any of its officers or directors, nor have we undertaken any further inquiry whatsoever other than to request the Opinion Certificate from the Company.

This opinion is rendered as of the date first written above solely for your benefit in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement and may not be relied on by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person without our prior written consent. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company. We assume no obligation to inform you of any facts, circumstances, events or changes in the law that may hereafter be brought to our attention that may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.
