DEBENTURE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS DEBENTURE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of December 19, 2001 among 3D Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each purchaser listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”).

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase and acquire from the Company, an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 of convertible subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”).

 

Terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter, the Company and the Purchasers hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF DEBENTURES

 

1.1. Purchase and Sale of Debentures.

 

The Company agrees to issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase and acquire from the Company, the principal amount of Debentures set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I, for the consideration set forth on Schedule I.

 

1.2. Closing.

 

The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale (the “Purchase”) of Debentures shall take place at the offices of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, L.L.P., 2029 Century Park East, 24th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90067, or by transmission by facsimile and overnight courier, immediately following the execution hereof, or on such later date or at such different location as the parties shall agree (the “Closing Date”).

 

ARTICLE II.

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF NOTES; PAYMENTS

 

2.1. Debentures. The Debentures shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and shall have a maturity and accrue interest as set forth therein, which interest shall be payable in the manner set forth therein.

 

1

2.2. Redemption.

 

a. Optional Redemption. The Debentures will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. At any time or in part from time to time after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Debentures may beredeemed at the option of the Company at a price equal to 107% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Debentures or the portion thereof then being redeemed (the “Redemption Price”) together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due in respect thereof to the Redemption Date (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company may not redeem the Debentures: (i) if the Company is in default of the Existing Bank Debt; (ii) if redemption of the Debentures would result in the Company being in violation of any of its covenants under the Existing Bank Debt; or (iii) without prior written consent from U.S. Bank.

 

b. Mechanics of Redemption. The Company shall exercise its right to redeem by delivering written notice by facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Company Redemption”) to each Holder (the first full Business Day following such notice being referred to herein as the “Redemption Notice Date”). Such Notice of Company Redemption shall indicate (A) the maximum, if any, aggregate dollar amount of Redemption Price which the Company will pay for such Redemption, (B) each Holder’s pro rata allocation of such maximum amount, (C) the Redemption Price, (D) confirm the date (“Redemption Date”) the Company shall effect the Redemption, which date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days and not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the Redemption Notice Date, (E) confirm that the Holder will have the right to convert such Holders Debentures until the close of business on the fifth day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) preceding the related Redemption Date. If the Company elects not to redeem all the Debentures outstanding, the Company shall allocate for redemption from each Holder an amount of the Redemption Price equal to such Holder’s pro rata amount (based on the principal amount of the Debenture held by such Holder on the date of the Notice of Company Redemption relative to the total principal of the Debentures outstanding on such date).

 

c. Payment of Redemption Price. The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder of the Debentures being redeemed in cash on the Redemption Date.

 

d. Mandatory Redemption. If there shall occur a Change of Control with respect to the Company, then a Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, exercised in accordance with this Section 2.2, to require the Company to purchase the Debenture in whole but not in part, on the Holder Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. The Company shall provide notice to each Holder within ten (10) Business Days of learning of the occurrence of a Change of Control (a “Change of Control Notice Date”). The notice shall provide (A) the Holder Redemption Date in respect of such Change of Control, (B) the Redemption Price, (C) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Debentures to be redeemed, (D) that the Holder will have the right to convert such Holder’s Debentures until the close of business on the fifth day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) preceding the related Holder Redemption Date, and such other information as the Company shall deem advisable. Each Holder desiring to exercise the option for redemption set forth in this Section 2.2 shall, as a condition to such redemption, on or before the close of business on the

 

2

fifth Business Day prior to the Holder Redemption Date, surrender the Debenture to be redeemed, in whole but not in part, together with the Redemption Notice hereon duly executed at the place or places specified in the Redemption Notice. In connection with any repurchase of Debentures pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Company will comply with any applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and nothing herein, including the time periods in which redemption is to occur, shall require the Company to take action which violates such applicable rules and regulations.

 

2.3 Conversion.

 

a. Right of Holders to Convert Debentures into Common Stock. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, all or any portion of the principal amount of the Debentures (and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon), at any time from the date hereof to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) the close of business on the fifth day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) preceding the Redemption Date or Holder Redemption Date, as applicable, may be converted into duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and nonassesable shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to $12.00 (the “Conversion Price”), or, in the event that any adjustment in the Conversion Price or the securities or other property issuable upon conversion has taken place pursuant to Section 2.4, then at the applicable Conversion Price and into such securities or other property as so adjusted, upon surrender of the Debentures, the principal amount of which is so to be converted, to the Company at any time during usual business hours at the Company’s offices, accompanied by a written notice of election to convert as provided in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In order for such written notice to be effective (a “Notice of Conversion”), such notice must (i) state that the Holder irrevocably elects to make such conversion, (ii) specify the principal amount of the Debenture to be converted, and (iii) include the name or names (with address and social security number or other taxpayer identification number, as applicable) in which the certificates of Common Stock are to be issued (and, if different than the Holder, accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company).

 

b. Issuance of Shares Upon Conversion. As soon as practicable after delivery of a Notice of Conversion and the surrender of the Debentures for conversion, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or upon the written order of, the Holder of the Debentures a certificate or certificates representing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and nonassesable shares of Common Stock, into which the Debentures (together with any other Debentures of such Holder being converted) may be converted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time and on the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company (the “Conversion Date”) and the rights of the Holder of such Debentures as a Holder (subject to the Company’s satisfaction of its obligations hereunder with respect to such conversion) shall cease at such time with respect to the Debentures being converted; the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of such Debentures shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock at such time and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time. In the case of any Debenture which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and deliver to the

 

3

Holder thereof, as requested by such Holder, a new Debenture in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such Debenture.

 

c. Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Per Share Market Price of Common Stock on the close of business on the day of conversion.

 

2.4 Adjustments to Conversion Price.

 

a. If the Company, at any time while the Debentures are outstanding, takes any of the actions described in this Section 2.4, then, in order to prevent dilution of the rights granted under the Debentures, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.4.

 

b. In case at any time the Company shall pay or make a stock dividend or other distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination; and in the event that such dividend or other distribution is not made, or is made in part, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect (i) if such record date has not been fixed or (ii) based on the actual number of shares actually issued, as the case may be.

 

c. In the case at any time the Company shall (A) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (B) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into smaller number of shares, or (C) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) any shares of capital stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionally adjusted so that the Holder of any Debenture surrendered for conversion after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock which, if such Debenture had been converted immediately prior to such time, the Holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive upon such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the

 

4

effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successfully whenever any event listed above shall occur.

 

d. In case at any time the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following such record date shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock (or its equivalent) which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock (or its equivalent) so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided, however, that no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) if the Holders of Debentures receive, or are entitled to receive upon conversion or otherwise, the same rights, options, or warrants as are issued to the holders of Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions as such rights, options or warrants are so issued to the holders of Common Stock. Such reduction shall be made successfully whenever such record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights, options, or warrants are not so issued in part, or are issued but all or part of which would then be in effect (i) if such record date had not been fixed or (ii) based on the actual number of rights, options or warrants actually issued, as the case may be.

 

e. In case at any time the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution, by d wividend or otherwise, to all holders of its shares of Common Stock, of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding (x) any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (c) and any rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection (e), and (y) any dividend, return of capital or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Company and regular quarterly dividends consistent with past practices), then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by a resolution of the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed and shall become effective immediately after the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date has not been fixed.

2.5 Manner and Treatment of Payments.

 

a. Each payment to be made on the Debentures by the Company shall be made to the Purchasers, at such bank as the Purchasers may designate to the Company, in immediately available funds not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day payment is due (which must be a Business Day).

All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

Registration Statement or amendment thereto or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; (v) use its reasonable efforts to qualify the Shares for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states within the United States as each Purchaser may reasonably designate; and (vi) furnish to each Purchaser, as soon as available, copies of the Registration Statement and each preliminary and final prospectus, or supplement or amendment required to be prepared with respect thereto, all in such quantities as they may from time to time reasonably request.

 

c. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred by it incident to the registration of the Shares under this Section 5.3 including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of its independent public accountants, premiums and other costs of policies of insurance purchased by the Company at its option against liabilities arising out of the public offering of such Shares. With respect to sales of Shares, each Purchaser shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professional relating to the distribution of the Shares, the fees and disbursements of counsel retained by each Purchaser and transfer taxes, if any.

 

d. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Purchaser, its officers, directors and employees and each person who controls each Purchaser (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Purchasers expressly for use therein. Promptly after receipt by each Purchaser under this Section 5.3(d) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), each Purchaser will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 5.3(d), notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that each Purchaser shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if representation of such Purchaser by the counsel retained by the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Purchaser and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to notify the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Company of any liability to such Purchaser under this Section 5.3(d) but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to such Purchaser otherwise than under this Section 5.3(d).
