COMSCORE, INC.
SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE
Issuance Date: May 17, 2018 Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[●]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, comScore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to [BUYER] or registered assigns (the "Holder") in cash and/or in shares of Common Stock (as defined below) the amount set out above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the "Principal") when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest ("Interest") on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the "Issuance Date") until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this "Note") is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Additional Closing Date (collectively, the "Notes" and such other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the "Other Notes"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 31.
(1)PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL; PREPAYMENT. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, any
1
accrued and unpaid Interest and any accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in Section 24(b)) on such Principal and Interest. The "Maturity Date" shall be January 16, 2022, as may be extended at the option of the Holder (i) in the event that, and for so long as, an Event of Default (as defined in Section 4(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) or any event shall have occurred and be continuing on the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to this Section 1) that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an Event of Default and (ii) through the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of a Change of Control in the event that a Change of Control is publicly announced or a Change of Control Notice (as defined in Section 5(b)) is delivered prior to the Maturity Date. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay any portion of the outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest or accrued and unpaid Late Charges on Principal and Interest, if any.
(2) | INTEREST. |
(a) Interest on this Note shall commence accruing on the Issuance Date at the Interest Rate and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in arrears for each Calendar Quarter on the first (1st) Business Day of each Calendar Quarter after the Issuance Date (each, an "Interest Date").
(b) Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock ("Interest Shares") so long as there is no Equity Conditions Failure (other than as a result of the delivery of an Interest Blocker Notice (as defined below)) occurring on the applicable Interest Date; provided, however, that the Company may, at its option following written notice to each holder of the Notes and any Additional Notes on or prior to the applicable Interest Notice Due Date (the date such notice is delivered to the Holder and holders of Other Notes and Additional Notes, the "Interest Notice Date"), elect to pay Interest on any Interest Date in cash ("Cash Interest") or in a combination of Cash Interest and Interest Shares. Each Interest Election Notice shall specify the amount or percentage of Interest that the Company will pay in respect of the Interest Date as Cash Interest and Interest Shares which amounts or percentages, as applicable, when added together, must equal the applicable Interest (or 100% thereof, as applicable) due on such Interest Date. If the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected by operation of this Section 2) the payment of applicable Interest in Interest Shares, in whole or in part, and an Equity Conditions Failure (other than the delivery to the Company of an Interest Blocker Notice) occurs at any time prior to the applicable Interest Date that is expected to last through the applicable Interest Date (which is not waived in writing by the Holder), the Company shall provide the Holder a written notice to that effect by no later than the Trading Day immediately following the Company having knowledge of such Equity Conditions Failure, indicating that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions Failure in writing, the applicable portion of Interest as to which the Holder did not waive the Equity Conditions shall be paid as Cash Interest. If any portion of Interest for a particular Interest Date shall be paid in Interest Shares, then on the applicable Interest Date, the Company shall issue to the Holder, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to (a) the amount of Interest payable on the applicable Interest Date in Interest Shares divided by (b) the Interest Conversion Price as in effect on the applicable Interest Date. All Interest Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
2
(rounded to the nearest whole share in accordance with Section 3(a)). Except as expressly provided in this Section 2, the Company shall pay the applicable Interest in the same ratio of Interest Shares and Cash Interest on the Notes, the Other Notes and any Additional Notes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery to the Holder of shares of Common Stock as Interest pursuant to this Section 2; provided, however, that the Holder shall be solely responsible for any transfer taxes if the Interest Shares are to be registered, issued or delivered in the name of a Person other than the Holder.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected by operation of this Section 2) to pay all or any portion of Interest due on any Interest Date in Interest Shares, (ii) the Company is permitted pursuant to this Section 2 to pay all or any portion of Interest due on such Interest Date in Interest Shares if not for the delivery to the Company of an Interest Blocker Notice and (iii) within two (2) Business Days following the applicable Interest Notice Date the Holder has delivered to the Company a written notice (an "Interest Blocker Notice") (A) stating that such payment of Interest in Interest Shares would result in a violation of Section 3(d), (B) specifying the portion of the applicable Interest with respect to which the payment in Interest Shares would result in a violation of Section 3(d) if such payment of Interest in Interest Shares were effected (such amount so specified is referred to herein as the "Designated Interest Amount") and (C) requesting the Company hold the Designated Interest Amount issuable to the Holder in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Company shall promptly upon written notice from the Holder deliver such Interest Shares to the extent as if there had been no such limitation. Any Interest Shares held in abeyance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(c) shall satisfy the Company's requirement to pay the applicable Interest corresponding to the number of Interest Shares so held in abeyance until the Company receives a notice from the Holder instructing the Company that the Maximum Percentage no longer prevents the Holder from receiving such Interest Shares.
(d) Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amount (as defined in Section 3(b)(i)) on each Conversion Date (as defined in Section 3(c)(i)) in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) and/or on each Redemption Date.
(3)CONVERSION OF NOTES. At any time or times after the first (1st) Trading Day following the Pricing Date (as defined in Section 3(b)(ii)) (the "Initial Convertibility Date"), this Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Initial Convertibility Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock to the nearest whole share. The Company shall
3
pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided, however, that the Holder shall be solely responsible for any transfer taxes if the shares of Common Stock registrable, issuable or deliverable pursuant to a Conversion Notice are to be registered, issued or delivered in the name of a Person other than the Holder.
(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Rate").
(i) "Conversion Amount" means the sum of (A) the portion of the Principal to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal and (C) accrued and unpaid Late Charges, if any, with respect to such Principal and Interest.
(ii) "Conversion Price" means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, a price per share equal to the greater of: (A) 130% of the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing on the later of (x) the Initial Closing Date and (y) the Public Announcement Date (the last date in such period, the "Pricing Date") (all such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reclassification or other similar transaction occurring during such period) and (B) $28.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) | Mechanics of Conversion. |
(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date on or after the Initial Convertibility Date (a "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) deliver to the Company on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") and (B) if required by Section 3(c)(iii), but without delaying the Company's requirement to deliver shares of Common Stock on the applicable Share Delivery Date (as defined below), surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). No ink- original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice be required. On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"). On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (a "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall, (x) if the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (y) if the Transfer Agent
4
is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 18(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date, irrespective of the date such shares of Common Stock are credited to the Holder's account with DTC or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock, as the case may be.
(ii) Company's Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder (if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program), or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC (if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program), for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (a "Conversion Failure"), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company's obligations to make any payments which may have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company shall fail on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount or on any date of the Company's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated pursuant to clause (y) below, and if after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (x) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to issue and deliver such certificate or certificates or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is otherwise entitled upon the Holder's conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount shall terminate, or (y) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock
5
or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(iii) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the Principal amount of the Notes (and stated interest thereon) held by such holders (the "Registered Notes"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest, if any, hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the Holder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate Principal amount as the Principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 17. The Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any such request without inquiry as to the genuineness thereof, and without liability of any type or nature arising therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(c)(iii), the Holder may assign the Note or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of such Holder or a Related Fund of such Holder without delivering a request to assign or sell such Note to the Company and the recordation of such assignment or sale in the Register (a "Related Party Assignment"); provided, that (x) the Company may continue to deal solely with such assigning or selling Holder unless and until such Holder has delivered a request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to assign or sell such Note or portion thereof to the Company for recordation in the Register; and (y) such assigning or selling Holder shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register (the "Related Party Register") comparable to the Register on behalf of the Company, and any such assignment or sale shall be effective upon recordation of such assignment or sale in the Related Party Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges, if any, converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other methods, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the
6
Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion except as provided above.
(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice relating to this Note and one or more holders of Other Notes or Additional Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of this Note, the Other Notes and the Additional Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from the Holder and each holder of Other Notes and Additional Notes electing to have this Note, the Other Notes or Additional Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder's portion of the Note, its Other Notes and/or Additional Notes submitted for conversion based on the Principal amount of this Note, the Other Notes and/or Additional Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate Principal amount of this Note and all Other Notes and Additional Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 23.
(d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to any shares otherwise issuable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such delivery shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, the Holder together with its other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and all of its other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its other Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including any Additional Notes and Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its other Attribution Parties subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire pursuant to the terms of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder, absent other knowledge, may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (i) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10- K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or
7
(iii) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the "Reported Outstanding Share Number"). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder shall, within one (1) Business Day thereafter, notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. The number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note would result in the Holder and its other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of shares by which the Holder's and its other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership would exceed the Maximum Percentage (the "Excess Shares") shall be deemed null and void and any portion of the Conversion Amount so converted shall be reinstated, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and its other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.
(4) | RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. |
(a) Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default":
(i) the failure of the applicable Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to be filed or declared effective within the applicable time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, or, at any time while the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to any holder of the Notes for sale of all of such holder's

11
this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. Any such converted Conversion Amount shall reduce the Event of Default Redemption payment by an equivalent amount. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of this Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Event of Default redemption premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
(5)RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL.
(a) Assumption and Corporate Events. Upon the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to, and be added to the term "Company" under this Note (so that from and after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Note referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Note with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Note. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive securities, cash, assets or other property with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a "Corporate Event"), the Company shall provide that it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event that the Holder will have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note at any time after the occurrence or consummation of the Corporate Event, shares of Common Stock or capital stock of a Successor Entity or, if so elected by the Holder, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion of this Note prior to such Corporate Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Corporate Event or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Corporate Event (without regard to any limitations on conversion of this Note). The provisions of this Section 5(a) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events.
12
(b) Redemption Right. As soon as practicable following the public announcement of the consummation of a Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof to the Holder (a "Change of Control Notice"). At any time during the period beginning on the earlier to occur of (x) the Holder becoming aware of the consummation of a Change of Control and (y) the Holder's receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending thirty five (35) Trading Days after the date of the consummation of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (a "Change of Control Redemption") all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof ("Change of Control Redemption Notice" and the date the Holder delivers a Change of Control Redemption Notice to the Company, a "Change of Control Redemption Notice Date") to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to require the Company to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (y) solely if (a) the applicable Change of Control is a Make-Whole Change of Control or (b) there is an Equity Conditions Failure (that is not waived in writing by the Holder) during the period from the applicable Change of Control Redemption Notice Date through and including the applicable Change of Control Redemption Date (as defined in Section 10(a)), the product of (I) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (II) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (1) the consummation of the Change of Control and (2) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date the Holder delivers the Change of Control Redemption Notice, by (B) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period, and (ii) if the applicable Change of Control is a Make-Whole Change of Control, the Make-Whole Change of Control Premium (the "Change of Control Redemption Price"). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with a Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. Any such converted Conversion Amount shall reduce the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) by an equivalent amount. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any Change of Control redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
(6) | ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE. |
(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock or Stock Dividend. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a
13
dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Fundamental Transaction or other Corporate Event, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 5 will apply), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CP1 = | CP0 * | OS0 |
OS1 |
where:
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the open of business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;
CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the open of business on such effective date, as applicable;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable; and
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.
For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the definition of CP1 above, any adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this Section 6(a) will become effective immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the open of business on such effective date, as applicable. If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 6(a) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Price, if previously adjusted, will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.
(b) Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is publicly announced, then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:
14
CP1 = | CP0 * | OS + Y |
OS + X |
where:
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.
For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this Section 6(b) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and, pursuant to the definition of CP1 above, will become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Price, if previously adjusted, will be readjusted effective as of such expiration date to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the decrease to the Conversion Price for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Price will be readjusted effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to distribute such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the Ex- Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 6(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day
15
immediately before the date of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) | Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property. |
(i) Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(u)rights issued in the Rights Offering (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement);
(v)dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(b);
(w)dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required pursuant to Section 6(d);
(x)rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 6(g);
(y)Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required pursuant to Section 6(c)(ii); and
(z)a distribution solely pursuant to a Corporate Event, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 5 will apply,
then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:
CP1 = | CP0 * | SP - FMV |
SP |
where:
CR0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
16
CR1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP = the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
FMV = the fair market value (determined in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;
provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, or if the difference between FMV and SP is less than one dollar ($1.00), then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, each Holder will receive, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such distribution divided by the Conversion Price in effect on such record date.
For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the definition of CP1 above, any adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this Section 6(c)(i) will become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable distribution. To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, or such rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration (including as a result of being redeemed or terminated), the Conversion Price, if previously adjusted, will be readjusted effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to make or pay such distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid or on the basis of the distribution of only such rights, options or warrants, if any, that were actually exercised, if at all. Subject to Section 6(g), if any such rights, options or warrants are exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Conversion Price will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6(c)(i) until the earliest of these triggering events occurs.
(ii) Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, and such stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation
17
of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a "Spin-Off"), then the Conversion Price will be increased based on the following formula:
CP1 = | CP0 * | MP |
MP + FMV |
where:
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;
CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
FMV = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the "Spin-Off Valuation Period") beginning on, and including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of Closing Sale Price and Trading Day were instead references to the number or units of such stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off); and
MP = the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the Spin-Off Valuation Period.
The adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6(c)(ii) will be calculated as of the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If this Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Holder will receive, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the number of shares of stock or other equity interests that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for Spin-Off divided by the Conversion Price in effect on such record date.
To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 6(c)(ii) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Price, if previously adjusted, will be readjusted effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
18
(d) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:
CP1 = | CP0 * | SP |
SP - D |
where:
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP = the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;
provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, or if the difference between D and SP is less than one dollar ($1.00), then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Holder will receive, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution divided by the Conversion Price in effect on such record date. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the definition of CP1 above, any adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this Section 6(d) will become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable dividend or distribution.
To the extent any such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Price, if previously adjusted, will be readjusted effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(e) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common
19
Stock, and the value (as determined as of the Expiration Time (as defined below) in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the "Expiration Date") on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:
CP1 = | CP0 * | OS0 x SP |
AC + (SP X OS1) |
where:
CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the time (the "Expiration Time") such tender or exchange offer expires;
CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;
AC = the aggregate value (as determined as of the Expiration Time in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (before giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the "Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period") beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date.
The adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6(e) will be calculated as of the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If this Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of
20
the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period. To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Price, if previously adjusted, will be readjusted effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to consummate such offer, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.
(f) No Adjustments in Certain Cases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Price on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 (other than a stock dividend, distribution, split or combination of the type set forth in Section 6(a) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 6(e)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of Notes, in such transaction or event without having to convert such Holder's Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by the Holder on such date; divided by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the related record date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable.
(g) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of this Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the consideration otherwise payable under this Note upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at or prior to such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to Section 6(c)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.
(h) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(7) | OPTIONAL REDEMPTION AT THE COMPANY'S ELECTION. |
(a) General. At any time after January 16, 2021 (the "Company Optional Trigger Date"), so long as (i) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock for any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days occurring after the Company Optional Trigger Date (all such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reclassification or other similar transaction during such period) (a "Company Optional Measuring Period") equaled or exceeded one hundred forty percent (140%)
21
of the Conversion Price on the Issuance Date (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction after the Subscription Date) and (ii) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure during the period beginning on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date (as defined below) through the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below), the Company shall have the right to redeem all or any portion of the Conversion Amount then remaining outstanding under this Note, the Other Notes and the Additional Notes (a "Company Optional Redemption Amount") as designated in the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (a "Company Optional Redemption"). The portion of this Note, the Other Notes and any Additional Notes subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be redeemed by the Company on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date in cash at a price equal to the 100% of the Conversion Amount to be redeemed (a "Company Optional Redemption Price"). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 7 by delivering within not more than ten (10) Trading Days following the end of such Company Optional Measuring Period a written notice thereof to the Holder and all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Other Notes and any Additional Notes (a "Company Optional Redemption Notice" and the date all of the holders of the Notes received such notice is referred to as a "Company Optional Redemption Notice Date"). Each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (i) state the date on which the applicable Company Optional Redemption shall occur (a "Company Optional Redemption Date"), which date shall not be less than ten (10) Trading Days nor more than thirty (30) Trading Days following the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and (ii) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes which the Company has elected to redeem from the Holder and all of the holders of the Other Notes and any Additional Notes pursuant to this Section 7(a) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes and any applicable Additional Notes) on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date an Equity Conditions Failure (other than as a result of the receipt by the Company of an Interest Blocker Notice) occurs between the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date and (iii) confirm that there has been no Equity Conditions Failure during the period beginning on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date through the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date. If the Company confirmed that there was no such Equity Conditions Failure as of the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs between the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date (a "Company Optional Redemption Interim Period"), the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect. If there is an Equity Conditions Failure (which is not waived in writing by the Holder) during such Company Optional Redemption Interim Period, then the applicable Company Optional Redemption shall be null and void with respect to all or any part designated by the Holder of the unconverted Company Optional Redemption Amount and the Holder shall be entitled to all the rights of a holder of this Note with respect to such amount of the applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, until the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the applicable Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the applicable Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date, unless the Holder otherwise indicates in the applicable Conversion Notice. Company Optional
22
Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 7 shall be made in accordance with Section 10. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 7 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Note under this Section 7, the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, any Conversion Amount that is subject to a Conversion Notice delivered to the Company may no longer be subject to a Company Optional Redemption even if the shares issuable upon such conversion have not been delivered on or prior to the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date.
(b) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 7(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to the Other Notes and any Additional Notes. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 7(a) (or similar provisions under the Other Notes and the Additional Notes) with respect to less than all of the Conversion Amounts of the Notes and any Additional Notes then outstanding, then the Company shall require redemption of a Conversion Amount from each of the holders of the Notes and any Additional Notes equal to the product of (i) the aggregate Company Optional Redemption Amount of Notes and the Additional Notes which the Company has elected to cause to be redeemed pursuant to Section 7(a), multiplied by (ii) the fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes and any Additional Notes held by such holder and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes and any Additional Notes held by all holders holding outstanding Notes and any Additional Notes (such fraction with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Company Optional Redemption Allocation Percentage", and such amount with respect to each holder is referred to as its "Pro Rata Company Optional Redemption Amount"). In the event that the initial holder of any Notes or Additional Notes shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's Notes or any Additional Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder's Company Optional Redemption Allocation Percentage and Pro Rata Company Optional Redemption Amount.
(8)NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.
(9) | RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. |
(a) Reservation. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for each of this Note, the Other Notes and any Additional Notes equal to the sum of (i) 130% of the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount of each such Note as of the Issuance Date and (ii) 130% of
23
the maximum number of shares issuable as Interest Shares assuming all Interest through the Maturity Date is paid in Interest Shares at the maximum possible Interest Rate. So long as any of this Note, the Other Notes and the Additional Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, the Other Notes and any Additional Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock specified above in this Section 9(a) as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes and any Additional Notes then outstanding; provided, that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than the number of shares required to be reserved pursuant hereto (in each case, without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the "Required Reserve Amount"). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of this Note, the Other Notes and the Additional Notes and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holder, the holders of the Other Notes and the holders of any Additional Notes based on the Principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes held by each holder at the Initial Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the "Authorized Share Allocation"). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer this Note, or a portion thereof, or any of such holder's Other Notes or Additional Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder's Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to the portion of the Note held by any Person who ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the portion of the Note held by the Holder and the remaining holders of Other Notes and the Additional Notes, pro rata based on the then- outstanding Principal amount of this Note, the Other Notes and any Additional Notes then held by such holders.
(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to have reserved for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall either (x) obtain the written consent of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and provide each stockholder with an information statement with respect thereto or (y) file with the SEC a proxy statement for a meeting of its stockholders at which meeting the Company will seek the approval of its stockholders for an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.
