 AGREEMENT 
  
 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby
agree as follows: 
  
 1. Purchase and Sale of Shares and the
Warrant. 
  
 1.1. Sale and Issuance of Series B Preferred
Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to purchase at the Closing, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Investor at the Closing, that number of shares of the
Company’s Series B Preferred Stock set forth opposite each Investor’s name on Exhibit A hereto at a purchase price of $46.03 per share. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be sold pursuant to this Agreement are collectively
referred to herein as the “Shares.” The Series B Preferred Stock shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the form of certificate of designation for the Series B Preferred Stock attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the “Certificate of Designation”), which Certificate of Designation will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware prior to the Closing (as defined below). 
  
 1.2. Sale and Issuance of the Warrants. Upon the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to purchase at the Closing, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Investor at the Closing, a Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock opposite each

Warrants purchased by each Investor is equal to $0.01 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is initially exercisable, and to file all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns in a manner consistent with such
valuation. 
  
 1.3. Closing. The closing of the purchase
and sale of the Shares and Warrants shall take place at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 135 Commonwealth Drive, Menlo Park, California promptly following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 (other than
satisfaction of conditions which will be satisfied at the closing) or at such other time and place as the Company and Investors purchasing a majority of the Shares mutually agree (which time and place are designated as the
“Closing”). At the Closing, (i) the Company shall deliver to each Investor a certificate or certificates representing the Shares and the duly executed Warrants purchased by each Investor against payment of the purchase price
therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, and (ii) the Company and the Investors shall make the other deliveries provided for in Sections 4 and 5.

warrants as of the date hereof as follows: 
  
 3.1
Experience; Accredited Investor. Such Investor is experienced in evaluating companies such as the Company, and has either individually or through its current officers such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such

or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, except for transfers to affiliated fund partnerships. Such Investor understands that the Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. Such Investor further represents
that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third Person with respect to any of the Shares, the Warrants, Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. Such
Investor understands and acknowledges that the offering of the Shares, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in
this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
  
 3.3 Rule 144. Such Investor acknowledges that the Shares, the Warrants, Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a
private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Such Investor understands and acknowledges that the certificate evidencing its Shares will be imprinted with certain legends, including but not limited to, the form of legend set
forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.

power or remedy accruing to any holder of any Shares upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such holder, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default,
or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any  
  

 15 








 similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver
