Section 6. NATURE OF RESTRICTED SECURITIES; TRANSFER OF RESTRICTED
SECURITIES; GENERAL TRANSFER PROCEDURE.
6A. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(i) Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Convertible
Notes and Warrants it is purchasing and the Underlying Common Stock are
characterized as "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" under the federal securities Laws
inasmuch as they are being acquired from VitalStream in a transaction not
involving a public offering and that under such Laws such securities may be
resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances as set forth in this SECTION 6. In the absence of an effective
registration statement covering such securities or an available exemption from
registration under the Securities Act, the Convertible Notes, Warrants and
Underlying Common Stock must be held indefinitely. In this connection, such
Purchaser represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the
Securities Act, including without limitation the Rule 144 condition that current
information about VitalStream be available to the public.
(ii) Restricted Securities are transferable only pursuant to (a)
public offerings registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (as
such rules may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission if the exemption
from registration under such rule is available and (c) subject to the conditions
specified in SECTION 6B below, any other legally available means of transfer.
(iii) In addition to the restrictions set forth above, each
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Convertible Notes may only be
transferred in increments of a minimum of $100,000 and $1,000 increments in
excess thereof.
6B. OPINION DELIVERY. In connection with the transfer of any
Restricted Securities (other than a transfer described in SECTION 6A(i) or
SECTION 6A(ii) above), the holder thereof shall deliver written notice to
VitalStream describing in reasonable detail the transfer or proposed transfer,
together with an opinion of legal counsel which is knowledgeable in securities
27
Law matters to the effect that such transfer of Restricted Securities may be
effected without registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities
Act. In addition, if the transferring holder delivers to VitalStream an opinion
of such legal counsel that no subsequent transfer of such Restricted Securities
shall require registration under the Securities Act, VitalStream shall promptly
upon such contemplated transfer deliver new certificates for such Restricted
Securities which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in
SECTION 9C(ii) of this Agreement. If VitalStream is not required to deliver new
certificates for such Restricted Securities not bearing such legend, the holder
thereof shall not transfer the same until the prospective transferee has
confirmed to VitalStream in writing its agreement to be bound by the Investor
Rights Agreement and the conditions contained in this SECTION 6 and
SECTION 9C(ii) of this Agreement.
6C. RULE 144A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, upon the request of the holders of a majority of the Underlying
Common Stock, VitalStream shall promptly supply to such holders or their
prospective transferees all information regarding VitalStream required to be
delivered in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be
amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
6D. LEGEND REMOVAL. If any Restricted Securities become eligible
for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to
time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission or an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, VitalStream shall, upon the request of the holder of such Restricted
Securities, remove the legend set forth in SECTION 9C(ii) of this Agreement from
the certificates for such Restricted Securities.
Section 7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF VITALSTREAM. As a
material inducement to the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement and purchase
the Convertible Notes and Warrants hereunder, VitalStream hereby represents and
warrants to each of the Purchasers that the statements contained in this
SECTION 7 are correct and complete as of the date hereof (or on the date as of
which they are made, in the case of any representation or warranty which
specifically relates to an earlier date).

shall survive each Closing (a) with respect to the matters covered by the

to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought): (a) any facts or
circumstances which constitute a misrepresentation or breach by VitalStream or
any VitalStream Subsidiary of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth
in this Agreement (including any annex, exhibit or schedule attached hereto),
any other Transaction Agreement or in any instrument or document delivered by
VitalStream or the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or (b) any non-fulfillment
or breach of any covenant or agreement of VitalStream or any VitalStream
Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement. To
the extent that the foregoing undertakings by VitalStream or the Buyer may be
unenforceable for any reason, VitalStream and the Buyer shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of the Losses described above
incurred by any Indemnitee which is permissible under applicable Law.

9I. CONSENT TO AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as otherwise
provided herein, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective against VitalStream or the holders of the
Convertible Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock unless such modification,
amendment or waiver is approved in writing by (i) VitalStream, in the case of
any amendment, modification or waiver affecting the rights and interests
VitalStream, (ii) in the case of any amendment, modification or waiver affecting
the rights and interests of the holders of the Initial Convertible Notes,
Warrants or Underlying Common Stock under this Agreement, the holders of a
majority of the Underlying Common Stock with respect to such Initial Convertible
Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock and (iii) in the case of any

VitalStream may restate ANNEX 1 attached hereto to (a) add additional Persons
who purchase Convertible Notes hereunder and execute and deliver a counterpart
signature page to this Agreement or (b) change the addresses for notice to any
Person at such Person's request. No other course of dealing between VitalStream
and the holder of any Convertible Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock or
any delay in exercising any rights under this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Agreements shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any such
holder. For purposes of this Agreement, Convertible Notes, Warrants or
Underlying Common Stock held by VitalStream or any of the VitalStream
Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be outstanding.
9J. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or such other
Agreement.
9K. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated
jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Agreements. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements shall
be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law shall be
deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless
the context requires otherwise. Nothing in the schedules attached hereto (or, as
applicable, to the Asset Purchase Agreement) shall be deemed adequate to
disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the
schedule attached hereto identifies the exception with particularity and
describes the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item
shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or
warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the
existence of the document or other item itself). The parties hereto intend that
each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have
independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation,
warranty, or covenant contained herein in any
37
respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or
covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels
of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or
mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation,
warranty, or covenant.

schedules and exhibits identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof.

forth in VitalStream's records. For purposes of this Agreement and each of the
other Transaction Agreements, all holdings of Convertible Note, Warrants and
Underlying Common Stock by Persons who are Affiliates of each other shall be
aggregated for purposes of meeting any threshold tests under this Agreement and
each of the other Transaction Agreements.
9N. CONSIDERATION FOR WARRANTS AND NOTES. The Purchasers and
VitalStream acknowledge and agree that (i) the fair market value of all of the
Warrants (the "AGGREGATE WARRANT VALUE") issued hereunder shall be an amount
equal to the product of is (a) $0.055 MULTIPLIED BY (b) the aggregate Warrant
Share Amount (as defined in the Warrant) and (ii) the fair market value of all
of the Convertible Notes issued hereunder is $1,100,000 MINUS the Aggregate
Warrant Value. Each Purchaser and VitalStream shall file their respective
federal, state and local Tax returns in a manner which is consistent with such
valuation and allocation and shall not take any contrary position with any
Taxing authority.
9O. UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PURCHASERS. The determination of each
Purchaser to purchase the Convertible Notes and Warrants pursuant to this
Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independent of any other Purchaser and
independent of any statements or opinions as to the advisability of such
purchase or as to the properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or
otherwise) of VitalStream and the VitalStream Subsidiaries which may have been
made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other
Purchaser.
9P. GOVERNING LAW. TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE CORPORATE LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEVADA SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE
RELATIVE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF VITALSTREAM AND ITS SECURITYHOLDERS. ALL
OTHER ISSUES AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT
AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS
AND THE ANNEXES, EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES HERETO AND THERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS
(WHETHER OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF
38
ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE
FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK SHALL CONTROL THE
INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER
TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS (AND ALL ANNEXES, SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS HERETO AND
THERETO), EVEN THOUGH UNDER THAT JURISDICTION'S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW
ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY.
9Q. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT
AGAINST VITALSTREAM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION
AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
IN
NEW YORK CITY,
NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE A PARTY, VITALSTREAM AND EACH
HOLDER OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES, WARRANTS OR UNDERLYING COMMON STOCK, ACCEPTS FOR
ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE
JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY
JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER
TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS. VITALSTREAM AND EACH HOLDER OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES,
WARRANTS OR UNDERLYING COMMON STOCK HEREBY WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT
NEW YORK CITY,
NEW YORK IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM BASED ON LACK OF VENUE.
9R. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. VITALSTREAM AND EACH HOLDER OF
CONVERTIBLE NOTES, WARRANTS OR UNDERLYING COMMON STOCK HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY in any litigation in any court
with respect to, in connection with, or arising out of this Agreement or any of
the other Transaction Agreements or the validity, protection, interpretation,
collection or enforcement hereof or thereof; AND VITALSTREAM HEREBY WAIVES, TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY SETOFF in
connection with any such litigation, irrespective of the nature of such setoff
except to the extent that the failure so to assert any such setoff would
permanently preclude the prosecution of or recovery upon same. VITALSTREAM
AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 9R IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT
AND EACH OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH HOLDER
OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES, WARRANTS OR UNDERLYING COMMON STOCK WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED
INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR MADE AN INVESTMENT HEREUNDER IF THIS SECTION 9R WERE NOT
PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS.
39
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this
Convertible Note
and Warrant Purchase Agreement as of the date first written above.
