COMMON STOCK PURCHASE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
$18.40/SHARE
If and when accepted by Greenfield Online, Inc. (the "COMPANY"), this Agreement,
when executed below, will constitute a subscription for that number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company (the "SHARES") specified on page 7 hereof. A
SUBSCRIBER (THE "INVESTOR"), BY EXECUTING BELOW, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE
UNDERSTANDS THAT THE COMPANY IS RELYING UPON THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS
HEREOF IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND TO SELL TO
THE INVESTOR AND IN COMPLYING WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES
LAWS.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTOR. The Investor hereby represents
and warrants to the Company as of the date of this Agreement as follows:
ABILITY TO BEAR RISK. The Investor is in a financial position to hold the Common
Stock and is able to bear the economic risk and withstand a complete loss of his
investment in the Shares.
UNDERSTANDING OF RISKS. Shareholder is fully aware of (i) the material risks
associated with the Company's business, (ii) the restrictions on transferability
of the Shares, and (iii) the tax consequences of acquiring the Shares.
PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. The Investor has obtained, to the extent he deems
necessary, his own professional advice with respect to the risks inherent in the
investment in the Shares, the condition of the Company and the suitability of
the investment in the Shares in light of his financial condition and investment
needs.
SOPHISTICATION. The Investor, either alone or with the assistance of his
professional advisor, is a sophisticated investor, is able to fend for himself
in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Common Stock.
SUITABILITY. The investment in the Common Stock is suitable for the Investor
based upon his investment objectives and financial needs, and the Investor has
adequate net worth and means for providing for his current financial needs and
contingencies and has no need for liquidity of investment with respect to the
Common Stock. The Investor's overall commitment to investments which are
illiquid or not readily marketable is not
1
disproportionate to his net worth, and investment in the Common Stock will not
cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION. Shareholder has had access to all information regarding
the Company and its present and prospective business, assets, liabilities and
financial condition that Shareholder reasonably considers important in making
the decision to acquire the Shares, and Shareholder has had ample opportunity to
ask questions of the Company's representatives concerning such matters.
Shareholder has reviewed the Company's most recent reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the Company's
Prospectus on Form 424(b)(4) filed on December 7, 2004 and its Current Reports
on Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2004 and January 4, 2005, respectively.
PURCHASE ENTIRELY FOR OWN ACCOUNT. The Common Stock will be acquired for
investment for the Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
with a view to the distribution of any part thereof; the Investor has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing
the same in a manner contrary to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"ACT"), or any applicable state securities or Blue Sky law, and the 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 Common Stock.
DUE DILIGENCE. The Investor has been solely responsible for his own due
diligence investigation of the Company and its business, and his analysis of the
merits and risks of the investment made pursuant to this Agreement, and is not
relying on anyone else's analysis or investigation of the Company, its business
or the merits and risks of the Common Stock other than professionals employed
specifically by the Investor to assist the Investor. In taking any action or
performing any role relative to the arranging of the investments being made
pursuant to this Agreement, the Investor has acted solely in his own interest
and no one has acted as an agent or fiduciary for the Investor.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Investor realizes that the Common Stock has not been
registered under the Act, is characterized under the Act as "restricted
securities" and, therefore, cannot be sold or transferred unless it is
subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Investor's financial condition is such that it is not likely that
it will be necessary to dispose of any of the Common Stock in the foreseeable
future. In this connection, the Investor represents that he is familiar with
Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
EXEMPTION RELIANCE. The Investor has been advised that the Common Stock is not
being registered under the Act or the applicable state securities laws, but is
being offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from such laws, and that the
Company's reliance upon such exemptions is predicated in part on the Investor's
representations contained herein. If other than an individual, the Investor
represents that it has not been organized for the purpose of investing in the
Common Stock.
2
FURTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISPOSITION. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Common Stock unless and until: (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; (b) (i) the Investor has notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and has furnished the Company with a detailed statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) the Investor
has 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; or (c) The Company is satisfied that such proposed disposition
complies in all respects with SEC Rule 144 or any successor rule providing a
safe harbor for such dispositions without registration.
RESIDENCY. For purposes of the application of state securities laws, the
Investor represents that he is a bona fide resident of, and is domiciled in, the
state if California.
LEGENDS. Investor acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the Common Stock
will bear a restrictive legend like the following:
"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR APPLICABLE
STATE LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED,
