Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Common Shares and the Warrants. Purchaser has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Common Shares and Warrants.
     4.3 Investment Intent. Purchaser is purchasing the Common Shares and the Warrants for its own account as principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a present view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof, in whole or in part, within the meaning of the Securities Act, other than as contemplated by Article 7. Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the Common Shares and the Warrants has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Purchaser Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or has provided the information requested thereon in the form otherwise acceptable to the Company) for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the responses provided therein shall be true and correct as of the applicable Closing Date and will be true and correct as of the effective date of the Registration Statement. Purchaser, in connection with its decision to purchase the Common Shares and the Warrants, has relied solely upon the SEC Documents and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities except in compliance with the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
     4.4 Registration or Exemption Requirements. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Securities may not be resold or otherwise transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
     4.5 Dispositions.
          (a) Purchaser will not, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined below), if then prohibited by law or regulation: (a) sell, offer to sell, solicit offers to buy, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any right with respect to (collectively, a “Disposition”) the Securities; or (b) engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a Disposition of the Securities by such Purchaser or an affiliate. In addition, Purchaser agrees that for so long as it owns any Common Shares, it will not enter into any short sale of Shares executed at a time when the Purchaser has no equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Shares. For purposes of determining whether the Purchaser has an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Shares, shares that the

9.


 

Purchaser is entitled to receive within sixty (60) days (whether pursuant to contract or upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities) will be included as if held long by the Purchaser.
          (b) Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, engaged in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company, SG Cowen & Co., LLC, Leerink, Swann & Company, or any other Person regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. Such Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.
     For purposes of this Section 4.5(b), (i) “Person” shall include, without limitation, any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company or joint stock company and (ii) “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
     4.6 No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Common Shares and the Warrants constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Common Shares and the Warrants.
     4.7 Confidentiality. Purchaser will hold in confidence all information concerning this Agreement and the placement of the Securities hereunder until the earlier of such time as (a) the Company has made a public announcement concerning the Agreement and the placement of the Securities hereunder, which announcement shall be made in a press release pursuant to Section 7.9, or (b) this Agreement is terminated.
     4.8 Residency. Purchaser’s principal executive offices are in the jurisdiction set forth immediately below Purchaser’s name on the applicable signature page attached hereto.
     4.9 Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the Warrants.
     4.10 Legend. Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Registration Statement has been declared effective or the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Securities may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the

10.


 

following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Shares):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.”
          (a) The Company agrees that following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.10, it will, no later than three business days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Common Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend and a signed and completed notice of sale in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from any legend referring to the Securities Act. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System. All costs and expenses related to the removal of the legends and the reissuance of any Securities shall be borne by the Company.
               (b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.10 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and such Purchaser shall have delivered a current prospectus in connection with such sale; unless constructive delivery is permitted at the time pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (“Rule 172”) is then in effect, such Purchaser shall have confirmed that a current prospectus is deemed to be delivered in connection with such sale, or (ii) an exemption therefrom.
     4.11 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 Common Shares and the Warrants or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Common Shares and the Warrants, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase or acquisition, (c) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and

11.


 

(d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

16.


 

damage or liability (collectively, “Loss”) arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser; and provided further, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Purchaser of Registrable Shares (or any partner, member, officer, director or controlling person of such Purchaser) to the extent that any such Loss is caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if either (i)(A) such Purchaser failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus with or prior to, or, if Rule 172 is then in effect, such Purchaser failed to confirm that a final prospectus was deemed to be delivered prior to, the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Purchaser to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted and (B) the final prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission, (ii) (X) such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (Y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the prospectus as so amended or supplemented, or if Rule 172 is then in effect, notified by the Company that such amended or supplemented prospectus has been filed with the SEC, such Purchaser thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, with or prior to, or, if Rule 172 is then in effect, such Purchaser fails to confirm that the prospectus so amended or supplemented was deemed to be delivered prior to, the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of a Registrable Share to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted or (iii) such Purchaser sold Registrable Shares in violation of such Purchaser’s covenant contained in Section 7.4 of this Agreement.
          (b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof, if, and to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and such Purchaser will reimburse the Company (and each of its officers, directors or controlling persons) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7.3(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

17.


 

          (c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
          (d) If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party.
          (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

18.


 

     7.4 Prospectus Delivery. Each Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Shares without complying with Section 8.3. The Purchaser acknowledges that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Purchaser hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Purchaser written notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Purchaser written notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus; provided that such suspension periods shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days in any twelve (12) month period and that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company would, in the absence of such delay or suspension hereunder, be required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, a potentially significant transaction or event involving the Company, or any negotiations, discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto, in either case the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company or its stockholders; provided further, that the Company may suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement to the extent necessary to file any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to amend the table of selling stockholders within the Registration Statement to reflect transfers of the Securities pursuant to Sections 8.3(a) and 8.3(b). If, after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, except as excused pursuant to this Section 7.4, then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder for the Common Shares purchased hereunder for each thirty (30) day period following the date sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement after it has been declared effective.
     7.5 Termination of Obligations. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been resold, (b) such time as all of the Registrable Shares may be resold in a three-month period pursuant to Rule 144(k), or (c) the fifth anniversary of the Second Closing Date or, if the Second Closing does not occur, the First Closing Date.

               (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
               (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

be entitled to give stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities in order to enforce the foregoing restrictions.
     8.2 Instruction Sheet. Each certificate representing Registrable Shares shall bear the Instruction Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit D (in addition to any legends required under applicable securities laws).
8.3 Transfer of Securities.
          (a) Each Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Securities except:
               (i) in accordance with the Registration Statement, in which case such Purchaser shall have delivered a current prospectus in connection with such sale; provided, however, that if Rule 172 is then in effect, such Purchaser shall have confirmed that a current prospectus is deemed to be delivered in connection with such sale; or
               (ii) in accordance with Rule 144, in which case Purchaser covenants to comply with Rule 144; or
               (iii) (A) If the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (B) such Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a reasonably detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (C) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Purchaser 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 Securities Act.
          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, no such restriction shall apply to a transfer by a Purchaser that is (i) a partnership transferring to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (ii) a corporation transferring to a wholly-owned subsidiary or a parent corporation that owns all of the capital stock of the Purchaser, (iii) a limited liability company transferring to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company or (iv) an individual transferring to the Purchaser’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Purchaser; provided that in each case the transferee will agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if he were an original Purchaser hereunder.
          (c) Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that, if a Purchaser is selling the Securities using the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, such Securities are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the certificate evidencing such Securities is submitted to the Company’s transfer agent and a separate certificate executed by an officer of, or other person duly authorized by, the Purchaser in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E is submitted to Cooley Godward or the Company’s transfer agent.
     8.4 Purchaser Information. Each Purchaser covenants that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s “Plan of Distribution.”

21.


 

     8.5 Material Non-Public Information. Except with respect to those Purchasers listed on Schedule 5.5 hereof, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless either prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
ARTICLE 9
Miscellaneous
     9.1 Termination.
          (a) This Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Common Shares and the Warrants abandoned at any time prior to the First Closing, by written notice of any individual Purchaser if the First Closing has not occurred within five (5) business days of the date hereof (other than as a result of the failure on the part of the party giving such notice of termination to perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement in all material respects); provided, however, that the abandonment of the sale and purchase of the Common Shares and the Warrants shall be applicable only to such Purchaser providing such written notice.
          (b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1 all further obligations of the Company to such Purchaser and of such Purchaser to the Company shall terminate and the Company shall notify the Purchasers in writing of such notice and termination; provided, however, that (i) no party shall be relieved of any liability arising from any breach by such party of any provision of this Agreement and (ii) the parties shall, in all events, remain bound by and continue to be subject to the provisions set forth in this Article 9.
          (c) The sale and purchase of the Common Shares and the Warrants at the Second Closing may be abandoned, and the obligations of any individual Purchaser with respect to the Second Closing may be terminated by written notice of such Purchaser if the Second Closing has not occurred within 120 days of the date of this Agreement (other than as a result of the failure on the part of the party giving such notice to perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement in all material respects). The Company shall notify the remaining Purchasers in writing of any such notice.

All notices and other communications shall be effective upon the earlier of actual receipt thereof by the person to whom notice is directed or (a) in the case of notices and communications sent by personal delivery or telecopy, one business day after such notice or communication arrives at the applicable address or was successfully sent to the applicable telecopy number, (b) in the case of notices and communications sent by overnight delivery service, at noon (local time) on the second business day following the day such notice or communication was sent, and (c) in the case of notices and communications sent by United States mail, seven days after such notice or communication shall have been deposited in the United States mail.
     9.9 Severability of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

REGISTRATION STATEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE
     In connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, please provide us with the following information regarding the Purchaser.
A. General Information
     1. Please state your organization’s name exactly as it should appear in the Registration Statement:                                                             
     2. Have you or your organization had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years with the Company or its affiliates other than as disclosed in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement?
¨ Yes ¨ No
     If yes, please indicate the nature of any such relationships below:
     
 
     
 
B. Securities Holdings
     Please fill in all blanks in the following questions related to your beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock. Generally, the term “beneficial ownership” refers to any direct or indirect interest in the securities which entitles you to any of the rights or benefits of ownership, even though you may not be the holder of record of the securities. For example, securities held in “street name” over which you exercise voting or investment power would be considered beneficially owned by you. Other examples of indirect ownership include ownership by a partnership in which you are a partner or by an estate or trust of which you or any member of your immediate family is a beneficiary. Ownership of securities held in the names of your spouse, minor children or other relatives who live in the same household may be attributed to you.

     Please note: If you have any reason to believe that any interest in securities of the Company which you may have, however remote, is a beneficial interest, please describe such interest. For purposes of responding to this questionnaire, it is preferable to err on the side of inclusion rather than exclusion. Where the SEC’s interpretation of beneficial ownership would require disclosure of your interest or possible interest in certain securities of the Company, and you believe that you do not actually possess the attributes of beneficial ownership, an appropriate response is to disclose the interest and at the same time disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities.

B-2.1


 

     1. As of [                    ], 2005, I owned outright (including shares registered in my name individually or jointly with others, shares held in the name of a bank, broker, nominee, depository or in “street name” for my account), the following number of shares of the Company’s capital stock:                                         .
     2. In addition to the number of shares I own outright as indicated by my answer to question B(1), as of [                    ], 2005, I had or shared voting power or investment power, directly or indirectly, through a contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, over the following number of shares of the Company’s capital stock:                                         .
     If the answer to this question B(2) was not “zero,” please complete the following: with whom shared; and the nature of the relationship and any underlying voting trust agreement, investment arrangement or the like:

1   NASD defines a “member” as any broker or dealer admitted to membership in the NASD, or any officer or partner or branch manager of such a member, or any person occupying a similar status or performing a similar function for such a member.
 
2   The term “affiliate” means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is in common control with, the person specified. Persons who have acted or are acting on behalf of or for the benefit of a person include, but are not necessarily limited to, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and sales representatives. The following should apply for purposes of the foregoing:
  (i)   a person should be presumed to control a Member if the person beneficially owns 10 percent or more the outstanding voting securities of a Member which is a corporation, or beneficially owns a partnership interest in 10 percent or more of the distributable profits or losses of a Member which is a partnership;
 
  (ii)   a Member should be presumed to control a person if the Member and Persons Associated With a Member beneficially own 10 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of a person which is a corporation, or beneficially own a partnership interest in 10 percent or more of the distributable profits or losses of a person which is a partnership;
 
  (iii)   a person should be presumed to be under common control with a Member if:
  (1)   the same person controls both the Member and another person by beneficially owning 10 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of a Member or person which is a corporation, or by beneficially owning a partnership interest in 10 percent or more of the distributable profits or losses of a Member or person which is a partnership; or
 
  (2)   a person having the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the Member or such person also has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the other entity in question.
3   The NASD defines a “person associated with a member” or an “associated person of a member” as being every sole proprietor, partner, equity owner, officer, director or branch manager of any member, or any natural person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions, or any natural person engaged in the investment banking or securities business who directly or indirectly controls or is controlled by such member (for example, any employee), whether or not any such person is registered or exempt from registration with the NASD.
 
4   Immediate family includes parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, husband or wife, brother or sister, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, son-in-law or daughter-in-law, and children, or any other person who is supported, directly or indirectly, to a material extent, by a person associated with a member of the NASD or any other broker/dealer.

Exhibit C
OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL
November [___], 2005
To the Purchasers listed on Exhibit A hereto
Re:     Solexa, Inc. Private Placement
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel for Solexa, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale of up to 3,750,445 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,312,657 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares” and collectively with the Shares and Warrants, the “Securities”), to the Purchasers at the First Closing under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 18, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreement”). We are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.
     In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by the various parties and originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.
     As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such matters. Where we render an opinion “to our knowledge” or concerning an item “known to us” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon (i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company in this transaction, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by an officer of the Company covering such matters, and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that we specifically set forth herein.
     In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants (together, the “Financing Agreements”)), where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents; and the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents (except the signatures on behalf of the Company on the Financing Agreements). We have also assumed: that all individuals executing and delivering documents had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver; that the Financing Agreements are obligations binding upon the parties thereto other than the Company; that the parties to the Financing Agreements other than the Company have filed any required California franchise or income tax returns and have paid any

D-1


 

required California franchise or income taxes; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Financing Agreements that would modify or interpret the terms of the Financing Agreements or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.
     Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California and the General Corporation Law 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.
     We are not rendering any opinion as to any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or decisional law relating to antitrust, banking, land use, environmental, pension, employee benefit, tax, fraudulent conveyance, usury, laws governing the legality of investments for regulated entities, regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or local law. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to compliance with antifraud laws, rules or regulations relating to securities or the offer and sale thereof; compliance with fiduciary duties by the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders; compliance with safe harbors for disinterested Board of Director or stockholder approvals; compliance with state securities or blue sky laws except as specifically set forth below; compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940; compliance with laws that place limitations on corporate distributions; the enforceability of provisions in the Financing Agreements concerning the voting of the Company’s capital stock (other than solely administrative obligations of the Company).
     With regard to our opinion in paragraphs 1 and 3 below with respect to the good standing of the Company, we have relied solely upon certificates of the Secretaries of State of the indicated jurisdictions as of a recent date.
     With regard to our opinion in paragraph 6 below, we have examined and relied upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, to the effect that the consideration for all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was received by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Board of Directors resolutions and any plan or agreement relating to the issuance of such shares, and we have undertaken no independent verification with respect thereto.
     With regard to our opinion in paragraph 6 below with respect to securities of the Company to be issued after the date hereof, we express no opinion to the extent that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Common Stock, future issuance of securities of the Company or anti-dilution adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company cause the Warrants to be convertible for more shares of Common Stock than the number that then remain authorized but unissued.
     With regard to our opinion in paragraph 8 below with respect to pending or overtly threatened litigation, we have made an inquiry of the attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company in this transaction, examined and relied upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Company covering such matters, and checked the records of this firm to

B-4.2


 

ascertain that we are not acting as counsel of record for the Company in any such matter. We have made no further investigation.
     With regard to our opinion in paragraph 10 concerning exemption from registration, our opinion is expressed only with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares without regard to any offers or sales of other securities occurring prior to or subsequent to the date hereof.
     On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing qualifications, we are of the opinion that:
1.   The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2.   The Company has the requisite corporate power to own its property and assets and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted.
3.   The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of California.
4.   The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Financing Agreements.
5.   Each of the Financing Agreements has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each such agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution under section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement may be limited by applicable laws and except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance.
6.   The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a) sixty million (60,000,000) shares of Common Stock, and (b) two million (2,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Shares and Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and the Warrant Shares have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants. The Shares and Warrants, when issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant Shares, if issued on the date hereof upon exercise of the Warrants and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. To our knowledge, except as provided in the SEC Documents, the Financing Agreements or the Disclosure Schedule, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other rights presently outstanding to purchase any of the authorized but unissued capital stock of the Company.
7.   The execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements by the Company and the issuance of the Shares and Warrants pursuant thereto do not violate any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws,

B-4.2


 

         as amended, and do not violate (a) any governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Financing Agreements or (b) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award which has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware, in each case to the extent the violation of which would materially and adversely affect the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
  8.   To our knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or overtly threatened against the Company before any court or administrative agency that questions the validity of the Purchase Agreement or that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole that has not been disclosed in writing to the Investors.
  9.   All consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings, registrations, and qualifications with any U.S. Federal or California regulatory authority or governmental body required for the issuance of the Shares and Warrants, have been made or obtained, except (a) for the filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D and (b) for the filing of the notice to be filed under California Corporations Code Section 25102.1(d).
10.   The offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to the timely filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D.
        This opinion is intended solely for your benefit and is not to be made available to or be relied upon by any other person, firm, or entity without our prior written consent.
         
Very Truly Yours,

The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period (subject to Section 7), by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
          (a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;
          (b) Payment of the Exercise Price in cash or by check; and

system if the Company is a participant in such system (and so long as the legend may be removed in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Purchase Agreement), and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 5 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price.
     The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
     2.1 Net Exercise. During any period during which this Warrant would otherwise be exercisable and the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 7.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 18, 2005, by and among the Company and the individuals and entities identified on the signature pages hereto (the “Purchase Agreement”)) is not effective, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
     
X =
  Y (A-B)
 
       A
     
Where X =
  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
 
   
Y =
  the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
 
   
A =
  the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
 
   
B =
  Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
          For purposes of the above calculation, the “fair market value” of one share of Common Stock shall mean (i) the average of the closing sales prices for the shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or other trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of

2.


 

national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of such security) (collectively, “Bloomberg”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if the Nasdaq SmallCap Market is not the principal trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the reported sales prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period, or, if there is no sales price for such period, the last sales price reported by Bloomberg for such period, or (iii) if neither of the foregoing applies, the last sales price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or if no sales price is so reported for such security, the last bid price of such security as reported by Bloomberg or (iv) if fair market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its good faith judgment.
     2.2 Issuance of New Warrants. Upon any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith and, in any event within five (5) business days, issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, registered in the name of the Holder, exercisable, in the aggregate, for the balance of the Warrant Shares.
     2.3 Payment of Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant.
     3. Covenants of the Company.
     3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
     3.3 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3.


 

     4. Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.
          (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
               (i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition; or
               (ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
               (iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a reasonably detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel shall be required for sales (i) under Rule 144, (ii) to one of its nominees, affiliates or a nominee thereof, (iii) to a pension or profit-sharing fund established and maintained for its employees or for the employees of any affiliate, (iv) from a nominee to any of the aforementioned persons as beneficial owner of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, or (v) to a qualified institutional buyer, so long as such transfer is effected in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
          (b) The Holder understands and agrees that subject to Section 4.10 of the Purchase Agreement, all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
     5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Shares.
          (a) In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, consolidation, acquisition of the Company (whether through merger or acquisition of substantially all the assets or stock of the Company), or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares or other property as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to

4.


 

the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
          (b) If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,
               (i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution covered in Section 5(a) above),
               (ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend or
               (iii) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) above),
then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
     6. Subsequent Equity Sales.
               (i) If, at any time prior to the one and one half (1 1/2) year anniversary of the date hereof, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any individual or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”) at an effective net price to the Company per share of Common Stock (the “Effective Price”) less than six dollars and fifty cents ($6.50) (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like after the date hereof), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective Price of the Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such issuance. For purposes of this paragraph, in connection with any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (A) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “Deemed

5.


 

Number”) shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents, (B) the Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock (net of any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed Number, and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
               (ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues Common Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price or a number of underlying shares that floats or resets or otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the Common Stock (a “Floating Price Security”) in a transaction the primary purpose of which is to raise capital, then for purposes of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually acquires any shares on such date).
               (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 6 in respect to any issuance of Common Stock (A) upon exercise or conversion of any options or other securities described in the SEC Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or Disclosure Schedule to the Purchase Agreement or otherwise pursuant to any employee benefit plan of the Company or its subsidiaries or hereafter adopted by the Company, or (B) in connection with any grant of options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan duly adopted by the Company’s board of directors or in respect of the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of any such options.
     7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
     8. Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring corporation (“Acquirer”), as the case may be, such that the value of the option to purchase such number of shares, as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (A) hereto, is equivalent to the lesser of (i) the

6.


 

value of this Warrant to purchase the Exercise Shares, as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula in Appendix (B) hereto or (ii) 125% of the Built-in Gain, as long as the Built-in-Gain is at least 50% of the strike price, as determined in accordance with Appendix (C) hereto. Moreover, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this section shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions. If the Company, in spite of using its best efforts, is unable to cause this Warrant to continue in full force and effect until the expiration date of the Warrant in connection with any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation, then the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the lesser of (i) an amount calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (B) hereto or (ii) 125% of the Built-in Gain, as long as the Built-in-Gain is at least 50% of the strike price, as determined in accordance with Appendix (C) hereto.
     9. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
     10. Registration Rights. The Holder of the Warrant Shares shall be entitled to the registration rights to such Warrant Shares provided by the Purchase Agreement.
     11. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
     12. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

7.

Notices, etc. 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 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.

SOLEXA, INC.
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
     This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of November 18, 2005, by and among Solexa, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) with its principal office at 25861 Industrial Boulevard, Hayward, California 94545, and the purchasers identified on the signature pages hereto (the “Purchasers”).
RECITALS

10.


 

OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.”
          (a) The Company agrees that following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.10, it will, no later than three business days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Common Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend and a signed and completed notice of sale in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from any legend referring to the Securities Act.

All costs and expenses related to the removal of the legends and the reissuance of any Securities shall be borne by the Company.
          (b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.10 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and such Purchaser shall have delivered a current prospectus in connection with such sale unless constructive delivery is permitted at the time pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (“Rule 172”) as then in effect, in which event such Purchaser shall have confirmed that a current prospectus is deemed to be delivered in connection with such sale, or (ii) an exemption therefrom.

          (h) advise each Purchaser promptly:
               (i) of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendments thereto;
               (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

          (i) use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which equity securities by the Company are then listed;

     7.3 Indemnification.
          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the partners, members, officers and directors of each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability (collectively, “Loss”) arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser; and provided further, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Purchaser of Registrable Shares (or any partner, member, officer, director or controlling person of such Purchaser) to the extent that any such Loss is caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if either (i)(A) such Purchaser failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus with or prior to, or, if Rule 172 is then in effect, such Purchaser failed to confirm that a final prospectus was deemed to be delivered prior to, the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Purchaser to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted and (B) the final prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission, (ii) (X) such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (Y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the prospectus as so amended or supplemented, or if Rule 172 is then in effect, notified by the Company that such amended or supplemented prospectus has been filed with the SEC, such Purchaser thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, with or prior to, or, if Rule 172 is then in effect, such Purchaser fails to confirm that the prospectus so amended or supplemented was deemed to be delivered prior to, the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of a Registrable Share to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted or (iii) such Purchaser sold Registrable Shares in violation of such Purchaser’s covenant contained in Section 7.4 of this Agreement.
          (b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)

17.


 

arise out of, or are based upon, any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof, if, and only to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and such Purchaser will reimburse the Company (and each of its officers, directors or controlling persons) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7.3(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
          (c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
          (d) If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the

18.


 

indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party.
          (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
     7.4 Prospectus Delivery. Each Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Shares without complying with Section 8.3. Each Purchaser acknowledges that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. Each Purchaser hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives such Purchaser written notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives such Purchaser written notice that such Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus; provided that such suspension periods shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days in any twelve (12) month period and that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company would, in the absence of such delay or suspension hereunder, be required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, a potentially significant transaction or event involving the Company, or any negotiations, discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto, in either case the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company or its stockholders; provided further, that the Company may suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement to the extent necessary to file any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to amend the table of selling stockholders within the Registration Statement to reflect transfers of the Securities pursuant to Sections 8.3(a) and 8.3(b). If, after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, except as excused pursuant to this Section 7.4, then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to one (1%) of the aggregate amount invested by such Purchaser (the amount invested by such Purchaser shall include the purchase price of the Shares acquired by such Purchaser and shall exclude any amount attributable to the Warrants acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) for each thirty (30) day period following the date sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement after it has been declared effective.
     7.5 Termination of Obligations. The obligations of the Company pursuant to

19.


 

Section 7.2 hereof shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been resold, (b) such time as all of the Registrable Shares may be resold in a three-month period pursuant to Rule 144(k), or (c) the fifth anniversary of the Second Closing Date or, if the Second Closing does not occur, the First Closing Date.

               (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

In connection therewith, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC proxy materials (including a proxy statement and form of proxy) for use at the Special Stockholders Meeting and, promptly after receiving clearance from the SEC, shall promptly mail such proxy materials to the stockholders of the Company.

SOLEXA, INC.
REGISTRATION STATEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE
     In connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, please provide us with the following information regarding the Purchaser.
A. General Information
     1. Please state your organization’s name exactly as it should appear in the Registration Statement:                                                             
     2. Have you or your organization had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years with the Company or its affiliates other than as disclosed in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement?
¨ Yes ¨ No
     If yes, please indicate the nature of any such relationships below:
 
 
B. Securities Holdings
     Please fill in all blanks in the following questions related to your beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock. Generally, the term “beneficial ownership” refers to any direct or indirect interest in the securities which entitles you to any of the rights or benefits of ownership, even though you may not be the holder of record of the securities. For example, securities held in “street name” over which you exercise voting or investment power would be considered beneficially owned by you. Other examples of indirect ownership include ownership by a partnership in which you are a partner or by an estate or trust of which you or any member of your immediate family is a beneficiary. Ownership of securities held in the names of your spouse, minor children or other relatives who live in the same household may be attributed to you.

     Please note: If you have any reason to believe that any interest in securities of the Company which you may have, however remote, is a beneficial interest, please describe such interest. For purposes of responding to this questionnaire, it is preferable to err on the side of inclusion rather than exclusion. Where the SEC’s interpretation of beneficial ownership would require disclosure of your interest or possible interest in certain securities of the Company, and you believe that you do not actually possess the attributes of beneficial ownership, an appropriate response is to disclose the interest and at the same time disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities.
B-2.1

 


 

     1. As of [___], 2005, I owned outright (including shares registered in my name individually or jointly with others, shares held in the name of a bank, broker, nominee, depository or in “street name” for my account), the following number of shares of the Company’s capital stock:                                         .

Exhibit C
OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL
November [__], 2005
To The Purchasers listed on Exhibit A hereto
Re: Solexa, Inc. Private Placement
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel for Solexa, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale of up to 101,395 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 35,488 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares” and collectively with the Shares and Warrants, the “Securities”), to the Purchasers at the First Closing under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 18, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreement”). We are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.
     In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by the various parties and originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.
     As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such matters. Where we render an opinion “to our knowledge” or concerning an item “known to us” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon (i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company in this transaction, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by an officer of the Company covering such matters, and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that we specifically set forth herein.
     In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants (together, the “Financing Agreements”)), where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents; and the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents (except the signatures on behalf of the Company on the Financing Agreements). We have also assumed: that all individuals executing and delivering documents had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver; that the Financing Agreements are obligations binding upon the parties thereto other than the Company; that the parties to the Financing Agreements other than the Company have filed any required California franchise or income tax returns and have paid any required California franchise or income taxes; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or
C-1

 


 

understandings among the parties to the Financing Agreements that would modify or interpret the terms of the Financing Agreements or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.
     Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California and the General Corporation Law 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.
     We are not rendering any opinion as to any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or decisional law relating to antitrust, banking, land use, environmental, pension, employee benefit, tax, fraudulent conveyance, usury, laws governing the legality of investments for regulated entities, regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or local law. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to compliance with antifraud laws, rules or regulations relating to securities or the offer and sale thereof; compliance with fiduciary duties by the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders; compliance with safe harbors for disinterested Board of Director or stockholder approvals; compliance with state securities or blue sky laws except as specifically set forth below; compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940; compliance with laws that place limitations on corporate distributions; the enforceability of provisions in the Financing Agreements concerning the voting of the Company’s capital stock (other than solely administrative obligations of the Company).
With regard to our opinion in paragraphs 1 and 3 below with respect to the good standing of the Company, we have relied solely upon certificates of the Secretaries of State of the indicated jurisdictions as of a recent date.
With regard to our opinion in paragraph 6 below, we have examined and relied upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, to the effect that the consideration for all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was received by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Board of Directors resolutions and any plan or agreement relating to the issuance of such shares, and we have undertaken no independent verification with respect thereto.
     With regard to our opinion in paragraph 6 below with respect to securities of the Company to be issued after the date hereof, we express no opinion to the extent that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Common Stock, future issuance of securities of the Company or anti-dilution adjustments to outstanding securities of the Company cause the Warrants to be convertible for more shares of Common Stock than the number that then remain authorized but unissued.
     With regard to our opinion in paragraph 8 below with respect to pending or overtly threatened litigation, we have made an inquiry of the attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company in this transaction, examined and relied upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Company covering such matters, and checked the records of this firm to ascertain that we are not acting as counsel of record for the Company in any such matter. We have made no further investigation.
C-1.4

 


 

     With regard to our opinion in paragraph 10 concerning exemption from registration, our opinion is expressed only with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares without regard to any offers or sales of other securities occurring prior to or subsequent to the date hereof.
     On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing qualifications, we are of the opinion that:
1.   The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
2.   The Company has the requisite corporate power to own its property and assets and to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted.
 
3.   The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of California.
 
4.   The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Financing Agreements.
 
5.   Each of the Financing Agreements has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each such agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution under section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement may be limited by applicable laws and except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance.
 
6.   The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a) sixty million (60,000,000) shares of Common Stock, and (b) two million (2,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Shares and Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and the Warrant Shares have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants. The Shares and Warrants, when issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant Shares, if issued on the date hereof upon exercise of the Warrants and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. To our knowledge, except as provided in the SEC Documents, the Financing Agreements or the Disclosure Schedule, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other rights presently outstanding to purchase any of the authorized but unissued capital stock of the Company.
 
7.   The execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements by the Company and the issuance of the Shares and Warrants pursuant thereto do not violate any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws, as amended, and do not violate (a) any governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Financing Agreements or (b) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination
C-1.4

 


 

    or award which has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware, in each case to the extent the violation of which would materially and adversely affect the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
 
8.   To our knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or overtly threatened against the Company before any court or administrative agency that questions the validity of the Purchase Agreement or that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole that has not been disclosed in writing to the Purchasers.
 
9.   All consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings, registrations, and qualifications with any U.S. Federal or California regulatory authority or governmental body required for the issuance of the Shares and Warrants, have been made or obtained, except (a) for the filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D and (b) for the filing of the notice to be filed under California Corporations Code Section 25102.1(d).
 
10.   The offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to the timely filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D.
     This opinion is intended solely for your benefit and is not to be made available to or be relied upon by any other person, firm, or entity without our prior written consent.
       
Very truly yours,


Cooley Godward llp

Exhibit 10.72
THIS WARRANT AND THE UNDERLYING SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
SOLEXA, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
________ __, 2005
Void After ________ __, 2010
     This Certifies That, for value received, [___], or assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from Solexa, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 25861 Industrial Boulevard, Hayward, CA 94545 (the “Company”) up to [___] shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).
     1. Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
          (a) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing with the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date hereof and ending five (5) years from the date hereof, unless sooner terminated as provided below.
          (b) “Exercise Price” shall mean seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.
          (c) “Exercise Shares” and “Warrant Shares” shall mean the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
     2. Exercise of Warrant. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period (subject to Section 7), by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
          (a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;
          (b) Payment of the Exercise Price in cash or by check; and
          (c) This Warrant.
     Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”)

1.


 

system if the Company is a participant in such system (and so long as the legend may be removed in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Purchase Agreement), and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 5 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price.
     The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
     2.1 Net Exercise. During any period during which this Warrant would otherwise be exercisable and the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 7.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 18, 2005, by and among the Company the Holder, and the other purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”)) is not effective, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
         
X =
  Y (A-B)    
 
  A    
     
Where X =
  the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
 
   
Y=
  the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
 
   
A=
  the fair market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
 
   
B=
  Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
          For purposes of the above calculation, the “fair market value” of one share of Common Stock shall mean (i) the average of the closing sales prices for the shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or other trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of

2.


 

national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of such security) (collectively, “Bloomberg”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if the Nasdaq SmallCap Market is not the principal trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the reported sales prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal trading market for the Common Stock during the same period, or, if there is no sales price for such period, the last sales price reported by Bloomberg for such period, or (iii) if neither of the foregoing applies, the last sales price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or if no sales price is so reported for such security, the last bid price of such security as reported by Bloomberg or (iv) if fair market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its good faith judgment.
     2.2 Issuance of New Warrants. Upon any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith and, in any event within five (5) business days, issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, registered in the name of the Holder, exercisable, in the aggregate, for the balance of the Warrant Shares.
     2.3 Payment of Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant.
     3. Covenants of the Company.
     3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
     3.3 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3.


 

     4. Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.
          (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
               (i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition; or
               (ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
               (iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a reasonably detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided, however, that no such opinion of counsel shall be required for sales (i) under Rule 144, (ii) to one of its nominees, affiliates or a nominee thereof, (iii) to a pension or profit-sharing fund established and maintained for its employees or for the employees of any affiliate, (iv) from a nominee to any of the aforementioned persons as beneficial owner of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, or (v) to a qualified institutional buyer, so long as such transfer is effected in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
          (b) The Holder understands and agrees that subject to Section 4.10 of the Purchase Agreement, all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
     5. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Shares.
          (a) In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, consolidation, acquisition of the Company (whether through merger or acquisition of substantially all the assets or stock of the Company), or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares or other property as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to

4.


 

the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
          (b) If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,
               (i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend covered in Section 5(a) above),
               (ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend or
               (iii) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) above),
then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
     6. Subsequent Equity Sales.
               (i) If, at any time prior to the one and one half (1 1/2) year anniversary of the date hereof, the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants, options or other securities or debt convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or otherwise entitling any individual or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”) at an effective net price to the Company per share of Common Stock (the “Effective Price”) less than six dollars and fifty cents ($6.50) (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like after the date hereof), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate Effective Price of the Common Stock issued (or deemed to be issued) would purchase at the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding immediately after such issuance. For purposes of this paragraph, in connection with any issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents, (A) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock potentially issuable at any time upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (the “Deemed Number”) shall be deemed to be outstanding upon issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents,

5.


 

(B) the Effective Price applicable to such Common Stock shall equal the minimum dollar value of consideration payable to the Company to purchase such Common Stock Equivalents and to convert, exercise or exchange them into Common Stock (net of any discounts, fees, commissions and other expenses), divided by the Deemed Number, and (C) no further adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents.
               (ii) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues Common Stock Equivalents with an Effective Price or a number of underlying shares that floats or resets or otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the Common Stock (a “Floating Price Security”) in a transaction the primary purpose of which is to raise capital, then for purposes of applying the preceding paragraph in connection with any subsequent exercise, the Effective Price will be determined separately on each Exercise Date and will be deemed to equal the lowest Effective Price at which any holder of such Floating Price Security is entitled to acquire Common Stock on such Exercise Date (regardless of whether any such holder actually acquires any shares on such date).
               (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 6 in respect to any issuance of Common Stock (A) upon exercise or conversion of any options or other securities described in the SEC Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or Disclosure Schedule to the Purchase Agreement or otherwise pursuant to any employee benefit plan of the Company or its subsidiaries or hereafter adopted by the Company, or (B) in connection with any grant of options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan duly adopted by the Company’s board of directors or in respect of the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of any such options.
     7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
8. Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring corporation (“Acquirer”), as the case may be, such that the value of the option to purchase such number of shares, as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (A) hereto, is equivalent to the lesser of (i) the value of this Warrant to purchase the Exercise Shares, as determined in accordance with the

6.


 

Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula in Appendix (B) hereto or (ii) 125% of the Built-in Gain, as long as the Built-in-Gain is at least 50% of the strike price, as determined in accordance with Appendix (C) hereto. Moreover, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this section shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions. If the Company, in spite of using its best efforts, is unable to cause this Warrant to continue in full force and effect until the expiration date of the Warrant in connection with any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation, then the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the lesser of (i) an amount calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (B) hereto or (ii) 125% of the Built-in Gain, as long as the Built-in-Gain is at least 50% of the strike price, as determined in accordance with Appendix (C) hereto.
     9. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
     10. Registration Rights. The Holder of the Warrant Shares shall be entitled to the registration rights to such Warrant Shares provided by the Purchase Agreement.
     11. Transfer of Warrant. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
     12. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

     13. Notices, etc. 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 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 listed on the signature page and to Holder at:
[______________]
or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
     14. Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
     15. Governing Law. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
     16. Additional Restriction on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Holder to the extent (but only to the extent) that, if exercisable by Holder, Holder, any of its affiliates, or any other party which may be deemed to be acting as a group in concert with Holder or any of its affiliates for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% (the “Applicable Percentage”) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Warrant shall be exercisable (vis-a-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by Holder) shall, subject to such Applicable Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of first submission to the Company for conversion or exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exercise Warrants pursuant to this Section 15 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. For the purposes of this Section 15, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations, including without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership, shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Regulation 13D and G thereunder. The provisions of this Section 15 shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms this Section 15 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Applicable Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Applicable Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 15 shall apply to a successor holder of Warrants. The holders of Common Stock of the Company

8.


 

shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 15 and the Company may not waive this Section 15 without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock.

9.


 

     In Witness Whereof, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of November [___], 2005.

Exhibit 99.1
VOTING AGREEMENT
     This Voting Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November ___, 2005, between Solexa, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned stockholder (“Holder”) of the Company.
RECITALS
     Whereas, Holder is the registered owner of such number of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and options to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as indicated beneath Holder’s signature on the last page of this Agreement (shares of Common Stock, exclusive of options to purchase Common Stock, indicated as being owned by Holder on the signature page hereto shall be referred to herein as the “Shares”);
     Whereas, the Holder is purchasing shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) of even date herewith (the “Private Placement”);
     Whereas, the obligations in the Purchase Agreement are conditioned upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and
     Whereas, in connection with the consummation of the Private Placement, the Company and Holder have agreed to provide for the voting of the Holder’s Shares and the rights as set forth below.
     Now, Therefore, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
     1. New Shares. Holder agrees that any shares of capital stock or interests in shares or other securities of the Company that Holder purchases or with respect to which Holder otherwise acquires registered or beneficial ownership after the date hereof and prior to March 31, 2006 (“New Shares”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares.
     2. Agreement to Vote Shares. Until March 31, 2006, Holder shall, at any meeting (whether annual or extraordinary and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) of stockholders of the Company or of any class of stockholders of the Company, however called, or in connection with any written resolution of the holders of shares or any class of shares in the capital of the Company, vote the Shares and any New Shares held by Holder in favor of the issuance of Common Stock and warrants pursuant to the Private Placement and any other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. The Holder hereby agrees that he or she will not vote the Shares and New Shares in favor of the approval of any action the consummation of which would frustrate the purposes, or prevent or delay the consummation of, the transactions

 


 

contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. This Agreement is intended to bind Holder as a holder of Shares of the Company only with respect to the specific matters set forth herein. Except as set forth this Section 2, Holder shall not be restricted from voting in favor of, against or abstaining with respect to any other matter presented to the stockholders of the Company.
     3. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Holder agrees to deliver to the Company a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Proxy”), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
     4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Holder. Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that Holder (i) is the registered owner and, as set forth on the signature page, beneficial owner, of the Shares and options to purchase Common Stock, if any, indicated below Holder’s signature on the signature page to this Agreement, which at the date of this Agreement and at all times up until March 31, 2006, are, and will be, free and clear of any liens, claims, options, charges or other encumbrances, and (ii) is not the registered owner of any shares, options or other securities in, or convertible into, capital stock of the Company, other than the Shares and the options to purchase Common Stock, if any, indicated below Holder’s signature on the last page of this Agreement. Holder has the legal capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform all of Holder’s obligations under this Agreement (including under the Proxy). This Agreement (including the Proxy) has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Holder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Holder, enforceable against Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and (b) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
     5. Further Assurances. Holder shall perform such further acts and execute such further documents and instruments as may reasonably be required to vest in the Company the power to carry out and give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.
     6. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) Holder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Holder’s capacity as a registered owner of the Shares and, to the extent applicable, any New Shares, (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by Holder, or any officer, partner, member or employee, as applicable, of Holder, serving on the Company’s Board of Directors acting in such person’s capacity as a director or fiduciary of the Company, and (iii) Holder shall have no liability to Parent or any its affiliates under this Agreement as a result of any action or inaction by Holder, or any officer, partner, member or employee, as applicable, of Holder, serving on the Company’s Board of Directors acting in such person’s capacity as a director or fiduciary of the Company.
     7. Miscellaneous.
          (a) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company and Holder or their respective successors and assigns. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7(a) shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

          (b) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
          (c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
          (d) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
          (e) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received (i) when delivered by hand; (ii) on the day sent by facsimile, provided that the sender has received confirmation of transmission as of or prior to 5:00 p.m. local time of the recipient, on such day; (iii) the first Business Day after sent by facsimile (to the extent that (A) the sender has received confirmation of transmission after 5:00 p.m. local time of the recipient on the day sent by facsimile, or (B) notice is sent on a day that is not a Business Day); or (iv) the third Business Day after sent by registered mail or by courier or express delivery service, in each case to the address or facsimile number set forth on the signature page to this Agreement beneath the name of such party, or to such other address or facsimile number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other party hereto.
          (f) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith, in order to maintain the economic position enjoyed by each party as close as possible to that under the provision rendered unenforceable. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms. Each provision of this Agreement is separable from any other provisions of this Agreement, and each part of each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other part of such provision.
          (g) Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause the Company to sustain damages for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each of the parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the Company shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.
          (h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Proxy, and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement between the

3


 

parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect thereto. No addition to or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless made in writing and signed by both parties.
