reservation for issuance), sale and delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock being sold hereunder and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing, and this Agreement,
the Investors’ Rights Agreement and the First Refusal Agreement constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

 2

availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Investors’ Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state securities
laws.

 2.7 Offering. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of each
Investor’s representations set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Act”), and neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption. 
  
 2.8 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge,
currently threatened against the Company that questions the validity of this Agreement, the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the First Refusal Agreement or the Voting Agreement, or the right of the Company to enter into such agreements, or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse changes in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or otherwise, or
any change in the current equity ownership of the Company. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened involving the prior employment of any of the
Company’s employees, their use in connection with the Company’s business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The Company
is not a party or subject to the provisions of any 

  

 3 









 
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by
the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate. 
  
 2.9 Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreements. Each employee, officer and consultant of the Company has executed a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement in the form made available to the Investors. The Company,
after reasonable investigation, is not aware that any of its employees, officers or consultants are in violation thereof, and the Company will use its best efforts to prevent any such violation. 
  
 2.10 Patents and Trademarks. To the best of its knowledge (but
without having conducted any special investigation or patent or trademark search), the Company has sufficient title and ownership of all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, information, proprietary rights and
processes necessary for its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted without any conflict with or infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing,
nor is the Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information, proprietary rights and processes of any
other person or entity. The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade
secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity. The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as proposed to be
conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the First Refusal Agreement or the Voting Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the
conduct of the Company’s business as proposed, will, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument
under which any of such employees is now obligated. 
  
 2.11
Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default in any material respect of any provision of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws, or in any material respect of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or
contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or, to the best of its knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the
Investors’ Rights Agreement, the First Refusal Agreement and the Voting Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or
without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of 

  

 4 









 
the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to
the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. 
  
 2.12 Agreements; Action. 
  
 (a) Except for agreements explicitly contemplated hereby and by the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the First Refusal Agreement and the Voting Agreement, there are no agreements, understandings or proposed transactions between the Company
and any of its officers, directors, affiliates, or any affiliate thereof. 
  
 (b) There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound that may involve (i) obligations
(contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to the Company in excess of, $10,000 not entered into in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) the license of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right to or from the Company (other
than the license of the Company’s software and products in the ordinary course of business), or (iii) provisions restricting or affecting the development, manufacture or distribution of the Company’s products or services. 
  
 (c) The Company has not (i) declared or paid any dividends or authorized or
made any distribution upon or with respect to any class or series of its capital stock, (ii) incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other liabilities individually in excess of $10,000 or, in the case of indebtedness and/or liabilities
individually less than $10,000, in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate, (iii) made any loans or advances to any person, other than ordinary advances for travel expenses, or (iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights,
other than the sale of its inventory in the ordinary course of business. 
  
 (d) For the purposes of subsections (b) and (c) above, all indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons
or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of such subsections. 
  
 2.13 Related-Party Transactions. No employee, officer, or director of the Company or member of his or her immediate
family is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, none of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest
in any firm or corporation that markets or sells products that are competitive with the products that the Company proposes to develop, except that employees, officers, or directors of the Company and members of their immediate families may own stock
in publicly traded companies that may compete with the Company. No member of the immediate family of any officer or director of the Company is directly or indirectly interested in any material contract with the Company. 
  

 5 









 2.14 Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses, and any similar authority
necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the Company. The Company is not in default in any material
respect under any of such franchises, permits, licenses or other similar authority. 
  
 2.15 Disclosure. The Company has fully provided each Investor with all the information that such Investor has requested for deciding whether to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock and all information that the
Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable such Investor to make such decision. To the best of its knowledge, neither this Agreement, the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the First Refusal Agreement, the Voting Agreement, nor any other
statements or certificates made or delivered in connection herewith or therewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

 2.18 Title to Property and Assets. The Company owns its property and assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens,
loans and encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens that arise in the ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s ownership or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and assets it leases,
the Company is in compliance with such leases and, to the best of its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any liens, claims or encumbrances. 
  
 2.19 Liabilities. The Company has no material liabilities and, to the best of its knowledge, has no material contingent liabilities. 
  
 2.20 No Brokers. The Company is not obligated for the payment of fees
or expenses of any investment banker, broker or finder in connection with the origin, negotiation or execution of this Agreement or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation or a collapsible corporation pursuant to Section 1362(a) or Section 341(f) of the Code, nor has it made any other elections pursuant to the
Code (other than elections that relate solely to

 2.22 Section 1202 of the Code. The capital stock issuable hereunder, to the Company’s knowledge, will constitute “qualified small business stock” within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code as

 (b) use its best efforts to provide the

 (ii) Conduct any of the following businesses (as defined

 (e) not make an election under Section 936 of the Code (relating to the Puerto Rico and possessions tax credit) or permit a subsidiary to make such an
election; or 
  
 (f) not in a single transaction or series of
related transactions, not raise capital of more than $1 million through the issuance of securities or the incurrence of indebtedness if such transaction or series of related transactions likely would cause the Company to fail to satisfy the active
business requirement set forth in Section 1202(e)(1) of the Code by virtue of holding excess cash or investment assets. 
  
 For purposes of the foregoing, any valuation or other determination (including, without limitation, a determination that a specific course of action does
not constitute the conduct of a business described in 2(b), above) made by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith or for which there was, at the time made, a reasonable basis in law or fact shall be conclusive. 
  
 2.23 Employee Matters. The Company is not aware that any officer or
key employee, or that any group of key employees, intends to terminate their employment with the Company. The employment of each officer and employee of the Company is terminable at the will of the Company.

knowledge, all individuals who have purchased shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are subject to forfeiture have timely filed elections under Section 83(b) of the Code and any analogous provisions of applicable state tax laws. 

 
 3. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby represents
and warrants that: 
  
 3.1 Authorization. Such Investor
has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the First Refusal Agreement and the Voting Agreement, and each such Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in the Investors’ Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or state
securities laws. 
  
 3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own
Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Series A Preferred Stock to
be received by such Investor and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion 

  

 8 









 
thereof (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further
represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. 
  
 3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has received
all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock. Such Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding
the terms and conditions of the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the
Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon. 
  
 3.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and
has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Series A Preferred Stock. If other than an individual, Investor also represents it has not been
organized for the purpose of acquiring the Series A Preferred Stock. 
  
 3.5 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect. 
  
 3.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and
understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. 
  
 3.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until the transferee
has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Section 3 and the Investors’ Rights Agreement provided and to the extent this Section and such agreement are then applicable, and: 
  
 (a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering
such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or 
  

 9 









 (b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have
furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual
circumstances. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the
date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse,
if the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder. 
  
 3.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:
