 3 

 

  

the purpose of the subdivision or combination (or if no such record is taken, as of the effectiveness of the subdivision or combination).

 

(b)          Distributions in Securities. If the Company at any time makes a distribution to holders of Securities payable in the same Securities, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Securities entitled to receive a distribution payable in the same Securities, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be decreased by multiplying it by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Securities outstanding immediately prior to such distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Securities outstanding immediately after such distribution (plus, if the Company paid cash instead of fractional Securities otherwise issuable in such distribution, the number of additional Securities which would have been outstanding had the Company issued fractional Securities instead of cash), effective automatically as of the date the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Securities for the purpose of receiving such distribution (or if no such record is taken, as of the effectiveness of such distribution).

 

(c)          Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. If (1) at any time, as a result of (A) a capital reorganization or reclassification (other than a subdivision, combination or distribution which gives rise to adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) above); or (B) a merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity), the class or series of equity interests in the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into or exchanged for the same or a different number of units of any class or classes of equity interests in the Company or any class or classes of stock or other equity interest in any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, or other securities convertible into such stock or equity interests, then (2) as a part of such reorganization, reclassification, merger or consolidation, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the terms of this Warrant so that (y) the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of equity interests in the Company, shares of stock, other equity interests, other securities, money and property which the Holder would have received at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger or consolidation, if the Holder had exercised its right under this Warrant to purchase Warrant Securities immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger or consolidation, and (z) this Warrant shall thereafter be adjusted on terms as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments heretofore provided in this Section 5. The provision of this Section 5(c) shall similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, and consolidations.

 

(d)          Liquidating Distributions, etc. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall make a distribution of its assets to the holders of its Securities as a distribution in liquidation or partial liquidation or by way of return of capital, the Holder shall, upon exercise of the Holder’s rights hereunder and payment of the Warrant Exercise Price, both in accordance with Section 2 hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Warrant Securities receivable upon such exercise, the assets that would have been payable to the Holder as owner of that number of Warrant Securities had the Holder been a holder of record of such Warrant Securities on the record date for such distribution; and an appropriate provision therefor shall be made a part of any such distribution in accordance with the plan for such distribution.

 

 4 

 

  

(e)          Other Action Affecting Units. If at any time the Company takes any action affecting its Securities, other than an action described in any of Sections 5(a) through 5(d) above which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Governors, would have an adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder to purchase Warrant Securities, then the Warrant Exercise Price or the kind or amount of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or both, shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

 

(f)          Adjustment of Number of Warrant Securities. Upon each adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Price pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) above, the number of Warrant Securities purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted (including any fractions of such Warrant Securities) by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Exercise Price immediately thereafter.

 

(g)          Notice of Adjustment Events. Whenever the Company contemplates the occurrence of an event which would give rise to adjustments under this Section 5, the Company shall mail to the Warrant Holder, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the record date with respect to such event or, if no record date shall be established, at least fifteen (15) days prior to such event, a notice specifying (i) the nature of the contemplated event, (ii) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such event, (iii) the date on which such event is expected to become effective, and (iv) the time, if any is to be fixed, when the holders of record of Securities interest (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their Securities (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable in connection with such event.

 

(h)          Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Exercise Price or the kind or amount of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or both, shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall prepare a written notice of such adjustments, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Exercise Price and the kind and amount of securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall mail such notice (by first class mail postage prepaid) to the Holder promptly after each adjustment.

(a)          Investor Agreements. The Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Investor Agreements.

The transfer of the Warrant Securities issued upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to certain restrictions set forth in Article 14 of the Member Control Agreement.

If in the opinion of such counsel the proposed transfer may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Securities received upon the previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Securities respecting restrictions upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel to the Company and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws; and provided further that the Holder and prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute such documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may be required to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant Securities.

 

(b)          If in the opinion of Company’s counsel the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or any Warrant Securities described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section 7 may not be effected without registration or qualification of such transfer or disposition under applicable securities laws, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Holder, and the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such transfer or disposition to such activities as, in the opinion of such counsel, are permitted by law.

“The sale, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of the Securities represented by this Certificate is subject to restrictions set forth in an Amended and Restated Member Control Agreement among the Company and its Members dated February 27, 2014, as amended from time to time.”
