Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common
Stock, and (iv) that each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control
over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction.



ARTICLE 4




Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchasers




     Each Purchaser hereby severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company on
and as of the date hereof and on the applicable Closing Date:



     4.1 Authorization. Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (a) Purchaser has
all requisite legal and corporate or other power and capacity and has taken all requisite corporate
or other action to execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the Common Shares and the
Warrants to be purchased by it and to carry out and perform all of its obligations under this
Agreement; and (b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally.



     4.2 Investment Experience. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act. Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial
condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the



8.









 







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 (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 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


9.









 







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 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



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. 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 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.




     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 (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.

          (a) the term “Registration Statement” shall mean any registration statement required to be
filed by Section 7.2 below, and shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, exhibit
or amendment included in or relating to such registration statements; and




          (b) the term “Registrable Shares” shall mean all of the Common Shares issued pursuant to this

The parties acknowledge that the Company may choose to include, at its option and solely for its

similar securities sold by the Company to third party purchasers not acting in concert with any of
the Purchasers.




     7.2 Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall:



          (a) use its best efforts to file a Registration Statement with the SEC within ten (10) days
following the Second Closing Date, but in no event after the date that is eighty (80) days after
the First Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), to register the Registrable Shares and shares of the
Common Stock listed on Schedule 7.2 attached hereto on Form S-3 under the Securities Act
(providing for shelf registration of such Registrable Shares and shares of the


14.









 







Common Stock listed on Schedule 7.2 under SEC Rule 415) or on such other form which is
appropriate to register such Registrable Shares for resale from time to time by the
Purchasers; provided, however, if a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Shares is not
filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Date, the Company will make payments to each
Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of
the aggregate amount invested by such Purchaser (the amount invested by a Purchaser shall include
the purchase price of the Common Shares acquired by such Purchaser and shall exclude any amount
attributable to the Warrants acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) for each 30 day
period (or a portion thereof) following the date by which such Registration Statement should have
been filed for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities;




          (b) use its best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, to
cause any such Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 7.2(a) above to become effective as
promptly after filing of such Registration Statement as practicable but in any event by the date
that is one hundred (100) days following the First Closing Date; provided, however, that in the
event that a Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC, then such date shall be the date that
is one hundred fifty (150) days following the First Closing Date. If (i) the Company fails to file
with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the
Securities Act, within five business days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in
writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or
is not subject to further review, or (ii) the Registration Statement has not been declared
effective by the appropriate date in the preceding sentence, then the Company will make payments to
each Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to one percent (1%)
of the purchase price attributed to the Common Shares purchased hereunder for each thirty (30) day
period (or a portion thereof) following the date by which such Registration Statement should have
been effective as described above had the Company used its best efforts to have the Registration
Statement declared effective;




          (c) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective until termination of such obligation as provided in
Section 7.5 below, subject to the Company’s right to suspend pursuant to Section 7.4;




          (d) furnish to each Purchaser (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Shares)
such number of copies of prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and
such other documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public
sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Purchasers, including a
copy of the prospectus to be furnished to each Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(g);




          (e) file such documents as may be required of the Company for normal securities law clearance
for the resale of the Registrable Shares in such states of the United States as may be reasonably
requested by each Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in
connection with this paragraph (e) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent
to service of process in any jurisdiction;




15.









 








          (f) upon notification by the SEC that that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or
is no longer subject to further review and comments by the SEC, the Company shall within five
business days request acceleration of such Registration Statement such that it becomes effective at
5:00 p.m. New York Time on the date that effectiveness is requested
(the “Effective Date”);




          (g) deliver to each Purchaser, by 9:00 a.m. New York time on the day following the Effective
Date, without charge, an electronic copy of each prospectus or prospectuses (including each form of
prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto. The Company hereby consents to the use of
such prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Purchasers in connection
with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto;




          (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;



               (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the

commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction,
or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and



               (iv) of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a
material fact made in the Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement
thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of
any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the
statements therein not misleading;



          (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;




          (j) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (g) of this
Section 7.2 and the registration of the Registrable Shares on such Registration Statement and the
satisfaction of the blue sky laws of such states; and




          (k) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to its security holders no
later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at
least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which
earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including
Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 7.2(i), “Availability Date”
means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter that
includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal
quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day
after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter).

     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.



     7.6 Reporting Requirements.



          (a) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC
that may at any time permit the sale of the Securities to the public without registration or
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:




               (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



               (iii) so long as any of the Purchasers own Registrable Shares, to furnish to such Purchaser
upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it is in compliance with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or whether it is
qualified as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to SEC Form S-3, and (B) a copy
of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents
so filed by the Company.



     7.7 Blue Sky. The Company shall obtain and maintain all necessary blue sky law permits and
qualifications, or secured exemptions therefrom, required by any state for the offer and sale of
Securities.



     7.8 Stockholder Approval. Promptly following the First Closing Date, the Company shall take
all action necessary to call a special meeting of its stockholders
(the “Special Stockholders
Meeting”) and seek the approval of the Company’s stockholders for, among other matters, the
authorization and issuance of the Common Shares and Warrants at the Second Closing which were not
sold to the Purchasers at the First Closing and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of
such Warrants in compliance with Rule 4350(i) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASD (the
“Stockholder Approval”), to the extent required by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. 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.



     7.9 Publicity. The Company shall, on or before 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the first
business day following the date hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Except with respect to the press release contemplated by this
section, the Company agrees that it will not use in advertising or publicity the names of any of
the Purchasers, any of their respective partners or employees, any of the funds or accounts managed
by any of them or any of their affiliates, or any trade name, trademark, trade device, service
mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof, in any case without



20.









 







the prior written consent of the Purchasers.

          (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.

the Company to such Purchaser and of such Purchaser to the Company shall terminate and the Company

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 remaining 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.




     9.2 Waivers and Amendments. With the exception of Article 7 hereof, the terms of this
Agreement may be waived or amended with the written consent of the Company and the holders of a
majority in interest of the Shares issued or issuable hereunder. With respect to Article 7 hereof,
with the written consent of the Company and the record holders of a majority in interest of the

respect of the sale of the Securities to SG Cowen & Co., LLC as lead agent, to Leerkink, Swann &
Company and to the entities listed on Schedule 3.13 of the Disclosure Schedule. Each of
the parties to this Agreement represents that, on the basis of any actions and agreements by it,
there are no other brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of

     9.6 Successors and Assigns. The provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties to this
Agreement. Upon a permitted transfer of a Purchaser’s Securities on the books of the Company in
accordance with the terms of Sections 8.3(a)(iii) or 8.3(b), the Purchaser may assign this
Agreement to the permitted transferee upon prior written notice to the Company. Except as set
forth in the previous sentence, no Purchaser shall assign this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Company.



     9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and
agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects thereof.



     9.8 Notices, etc. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this
Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered in person, by telecopy, overnight delivery
service or registered or certified United States mail, addressed to the Company or the Purchasers,
as the case may be, at their respective addresses set forth on the applicable signature pages
hereto, or at such other address as the Company or the Purchasers shall have furnished to the other
party in writing. 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

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



23.









 







communication was sent, and (c) in the case of notices and communications sent by 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.



     9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.



     9.11 Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement shall do and perform or cause to be
done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as the other party hereto may reasonably
request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For clarification purposes and without
implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the transactions contemplated hereby only
include the transaction between the Company and the Purchasers and do not include any other
transaction between the Company and any other third party purchaser of the Company’s securities.



     9.12 Currency. All references to “dollars” or “$” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer
to United States dollars.



     9.13 Independent Nature of the Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the
Purchasers under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other third
party purchasers of the Company’s securities, and the Purchasers shall not be responsible in any
way for the performance of the obligations of any other third party purchasers of the Company’s
securities. Each of the Purchasers and the Company agree and acknowledge that (i) the decision of
the Purchasers to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by the
Purchasers independently of any other third party purchasers of the Company’s securities and (ii)
no other third party purchasers of the Company’s securities have acted as agent for the Purchasers
in connection with the Purchasers making their investment hereunder and that no such other third
party purchasers will be acting as agent of the Purchasers in connection with monitoring its
investment hereunder or enforcing their rights under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein or
in any other document contemplated hereby or any agreement of any such other third party purchaser,
and no action taken by any of the Purchasers pursuant hereto or any other third party purchaser
pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers or any such other third party
purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create
a presumption that the Purchasers or any such other third party purchasers are in any way acting in
concert or as a group with respect to any matters. The Purchasers shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce their rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising
out of this Agreement or out of any of the other documents contemplated hereby, and it shall not be
necessary for any such other third party purchasers to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. To the extent that any such other third party purchasers purchase the
same or similar securities as the Purchasers hereunder or on the same or similar terms and
conditions or pursuant to the same or similar documents, all



24.









 







such matters are solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any of
the Purchasers, and would be solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was
required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers or any such other third party purchaser.

Exhibit B-2




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

                                        .

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
