The Conversion Notice shall designate the Voluntary Conversion as (X) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(f), either an Elective Conversion or a Discretionary Conversion, and (Y) either a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion or a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion.

(ii) Borrower’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of a copy of a Conversion Notice in respect of a Voluntary Conversion, the Borrower shall immediately send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Lender and, in the case of a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion, the Borrower’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation to the Transfer Agent shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process the Common Stock Voluntary Conversion (or Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion to be effected electronically by the Transfer Agent as provided below) in accordance with the terms herein. In the case of a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the end of the standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Notice, the Transfer Agent shall credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled to the Lender’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled (such delivery deadline, the “CSVC Delivery Deadline”). In the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion, on or before 8.30 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1nd) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the

 

A - 8


Borrower of the Conversion Notice (such delivery deadline, the “PSVC Delivery Deadline”), the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee certificates representing the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled; provided, that, for purposes of this sentence, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirement by the Borrower’s initial email delivery to the Lender, on or before the PSVC Delivery Deadline, of a .pdf copy of the front and back of each such certificate, followed promptly, and in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Notice, by delivery to the Lender of the original certificates. In the case of a Forced Conversion, on or before 8.30 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the date of Lender’s delivery of the Forced Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee certificates representing the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled (such delivery deadline; the CSVC Delivery Deadline or the PSVC Delivery Deadline, as applicable, being referred to as the “Share Delivery Date”); provided, that, for purposes of this sentence, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirement by the Borrower’s initial email delivery to the Lender, on or before the CSVC Delivery Deadline, of a .pdf copy of the front and back of each such certificate, followed promptly, and in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Notice, by delivery to the Lender of the original certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of any Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, the Transfer Agent is a “qualified custodian” (as defined in Rule 206(4)-2 (or successor thereto) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended), in lieu of the Borrower’s delivering certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon such Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, the Transfer Agent (acting as the transfer agent for the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock) shall, on or before the Share Delivery Date, electronically credit the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled by book-entry in the name of the Lender or its designee on the books and records of the Transfer Agent and deliver a statement thereof to the Lender. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(c)(vi), the Lender elects to physically surrender this Note for conversion and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Borrower 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 Lender a new Note representing the Principal not converted and cancel this Note. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, any Conversion Shares issued to Lender shall be deemed to have been acquired by such Lender on April 3, 2017 (the date this Note was originally issued). Accordingly, (A) upon any conversion of this Note, the Rule 144 holding period for the Conversion Shares acquired thereupon shall be in excess of one (1) year, and (B) provided the Lender is not an Affiliate of the Borrower on the Conversion Date and has not been an Affiliate of the Borrower within the three-month period immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Unrestricted Condition”), which the Borrower shall assume and Lender hereby represents unless the Lender advises the Borrower otherwise in writing, the Conversion Shares issued to Lender will be freely transferable, without restriction or limitation (including any volume limitation) under Federal or state securities laws, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and will not contain or be subject to a legend or stop transfer order restricting the resale or transferability of thereof.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Borrower shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Lender the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Lender via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Lender’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Lender and the Borrower are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Borrower’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. The Borrower shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Borrower and the Lender of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error, and the fees and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid one-half by the Borrower and one-half by the Lender. Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute contemplated by this paragraph, if requested by the Lender, the Borrower shall issue to the Lender the Conversion Shares not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iv) Record Holder. The Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be deemed to have been issued to the Person or Persons entitled to receive such Conversion Shares, and such Person or Persons shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares, entitled to all rights (including, in the case of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, conversion rights) of a holder thereof, (A) in the case of a Voluntary Conversion, upon delivery by the Lender of the Conversion Notice, (B) in the case of a Forced Conversion, upon delivery by the Borrower to the Lender of the Forced Conversion Notice, or (C) in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which (whether in connection with a Voluntary Conversion or a Forced Conversion) is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute.

(v) Borrower’s Failure to Timely Convert.

(A) Cash Damages.

A - 10


not cured within one (1) Trading Day following such Share Delivery Date (the “Share Delivery Date Cure Period”), then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Lender may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Borrower shall pay additional damages to the Lender for each day after the Share Delivery Date Cure Period such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Lender or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date (or in the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Conversion Shares to which the Lender is entitled, without giving effect to any limitations on conversion thereof) and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price on the Share Delivery Date. Alternatively in lieu of the foregoing damages, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the written election of the Lender made in the Lender’s sole discretion, if, on or after the applicable Conversion Date, the Lender purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Lender of Conversion Shares (or, in the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Conversion Shares) that such Lender anticipated receiving from the Borrower (such purchased shares, “Buy-In Shares”), the Borrower shall be obligated to promptly pay to the Lender (in addition to all other available remedies that the Lender may otherwise have), 110% of the amount by which (A) the Lender’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Lender from the sale of a number of shares equal to up to the number of Conversion Shares (or, in the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Shares, without giving effect to any limitations on conversion thereof) such Lender was entitled to receive but had not received on the Share Delivery Date. If the Borrower fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Lender entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock (in the case of a failure relating to a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion), shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (in the case of a failure relating to a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion) or shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (in the case of a failure relating to a Forced Conversion) equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price applicable to the conversion to which the additional damages relate.

(B) Conversion Failure. If for any reason the Lender has not received all of the Conversion Shares it is entitled to prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Lender, upon written notice to the Borrower (a “Void Conversion Notice”), may void its conversion (or, in the case of a Forced Conversion, the Borrower’s conversion) 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 the Lender’s Conversion Notice (or, in the case of a Forced Conversion, the Borrower’s Forced Conversion Notice); provided, that the voiding of the Lender’s Conversion Notice (or the Borrower’s Forced Conversion Notice) shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion, repayment or exchange of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Facility Agreement or the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment, the Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless all of the Principal is being converted or repaid. The Lender and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the Principal converted, repaid or exchanged and the dates of such conversions, repayments or exchanges or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted, repaid or exchanged as aforesaid, the Lender may not transfer this Note unless the Lender first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Lender a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Lender may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Lender and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion, repayment or exchange of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the “Principal Amount” stated on the face hereof.

(vii) Taxes.

Date (such lesser amount, the “Maximum Forced Conversion Amount”), and (B) shall not be less than the least of (1) the Maximum Forced Conversion Amount, (2) the then outstanding Principal, and (3) the Lender’s First Out Waterfall Pro Rata Share of $1,000,000. The Borrower shall effect Forced Conversions under each of the First Out Waterfall Notes on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective outstanding Principal amounts thereof.

(ii) To effect a Forced Conversion, the Borrower shall send a written notice via electronic mail to the Lender (a “Forced Conversion Notice”) at any time between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Trading Day on which the Forced Conversion Condition is satisfied. The Forced Conversion Notice shall certify that the Forced Conversion Condition and the other applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2 have been satisfied (including reasonable supporting information), shall state the Principal amount hereunder that the Borrower shall cause to be converted on the Forced Conversion Date and shall state the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Lender (subject to Section 2(e)(iii) and the other terms and conditions of this Section 2(e)). Simultaneously with delivery of a Forced Conversion Notice hereunder, the Borrower shall send a Forced Conversion Notice with respect to a pro rata portion of the Principal of each other First Out Waterfall Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower send any Forced Conversion Notice to the Lender within thirty-one (31) days of any other Forced Conversion Notice sent by the Borrower to the Lender.

(iii) The Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to a Forced Conversion shall be delivered within the timeframe and in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) above.

(f) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not issue to the Lender, and the Lender may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any Voluntary Conversion of this Note, or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement, to the extent that, upon such conversion or other issuance, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Lender and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Lender’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Lender is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of the Warrants, shares of Preferred Stock or other securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided, however, that the 4.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Lender shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Lender, the Borrower shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Lender the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares issued to the Lender pursuant to

 

A - 13


a Forced Conversion exceed the Lender’s Forced Conversion Maximum Share Amount (if any), as applicable to the Forced Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(i) shall not apply to any Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion.

(ii) Elective Conversion Issuance Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Note shall not be convertible pursuant to an Elective Conversion, and the Borrower shall not issue Conversion Shares upon any Elective Conversion of this Note, to the extent that, in the case of any Elective Conversion effected as a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Elective Conversion or, in the case of any Elective Conversion effected as a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock that would, upon the issuance of the applicable number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, be issuable upon conversion thereof at the then applicable Series DF-1 Preferred Conversion Rate, together with the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issued) under this Note pursuant to Elective Conversions after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to such Elective Conversion (subject to proportionate adjustment for any Stock Event occurring after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to the Conversion Date in respect of such Elective Conversion), would exceed the Elective Conversion Issuance Limit (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any Elective Conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall convert the maximum portion of Principal set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice that may be converted into shares of Common Stock or Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (as applicable) without so exceeding the Elective Conversion Issuance Limit, subject in the case of any Elective Conversion effected as a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion to the 4.985% Cap). For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(ii) shall not apply to any Discretionary Conversion or Forced Conversion.

(iii) Discretionary Conversion Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Note shall not be convertible pursuant to a Discretionary Conversion, and the Borrower shall not issue Conversion Shares upon any Discretionary Conversion of this Note, to the extent that the aggregate Principal of this Note that would otherwise be converted pursuant to the applicable Discretionary Notice, together with the aggregate Principal of this Note converted into Conversion Shares after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to such Discretionary Conversion pursuant to Discretionary Conversions (including Discretionary Conversions effected both as Common Stock Voluntary Conversions and Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversions) and Forced Conversions, would exceed the Discretionary Conversion Cap (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any Discretionary Conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall convert the maximum portion of Principal set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice that may be converted into shares of Common Stock without so exceeding the Discretionary Conversion Cap, subject in the case of any Discretionary Conversion effected as a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion to the 4.985% Cap). For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(iii) shall not apply to any Elective Conversion or Forced Conversion.

(iv) Forced Conversion Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Note shall not be convertible pursuant to a Forced Conversion,

 

A - 14


and the Borrower shall not issue Conversion Shares upon any Forced Conversion of this Note, to the extent that the aggregate Principal of this Note that would otherwise be converted pursuant to the applicable Forced Conversion Notice, together with the aggregate Principal of this Note converted into Conversion Shares after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to such Forced Conversion pursuant to Discretionary Conversions (including Discretionary Conversions effected both as Common Stock Voluntary Conversions and Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversions) and Forced Conversions, would exceed the Forced Conversion Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(iii) shall not apply to any Voluntary Conversion.

(v) Other Applicable Restrictions on Conversion of the Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice, and the Borrower shall not effect a Forced Conversion, (A) during the occurrence of a Delisting Event, (b) at any time following such time as the Borrower has delivered (or is obligated to deliver) a Major Transaction Notice in respect of a Major Transaction, (c) at any time following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default or a Default, (d) from and after a Withholding Date, (e) unless all material information regarding the Borrower (including any material information that may be included in, or reflected by, the Forced Conversion Notice, but excluding any material information relating to the Borrower’s operating results that the Borrower has not yet publicly reported, nor been obligated to publicly report (in a filing with the SEC or otherwise), other than operating results that would trigger non-compliance with a covenant under the Facility Agreement or the ABL Credit Facility) has been publicly disclosed in a report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act or has been otherwise publicly disclosed in a manner calculated to reach the securities marketplace through one of the Borrower’s recognized channels of distribution, (h) unless all shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the Forced Conversion will constitute Freely Tradeable Shares, (i) unless the Borrower is in compliance with the “current public information” requirement of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, (j) if the transfer agent for the Common Stock is not participating in DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or (k) if any Lender, after consultation with counsel of its choosing, advises the Borrower that the receipt or resale of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issued or issuable hereunder (or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) would result in such Lender being deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Forced Conversion Conditions”), except to the extent the Lender has waived any such Forced Conversion Condition by written notice to the Borrower. If any of the Forced Conversion Conditions is not satisfied at any time following the delivery of a Forced Conversion Notice and prior to the Share Issuance Date in respect of Forced Conversion, the Borrower shall immediately notify the Lender of such failure and, unless the Lender waives such Forced Conversion Condition by written notice to the Borrower, the Forced Conversion Notice shall be voided and the Forced Conversion shall not be effected. For the avoidance of doubt, the Forced Conversion Conditions shall not apply to any Voluntary Conversion.

(g) Borrower Disclosure. Without limiting clause (e) of the Forced Conversion Conditions or Section 5.1(q) of the Facility Agreement, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Forced Conversion Notice shall constitute or contain any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities, and (ii) the Lender

shall not have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to, nor any obligation not to trade in any securities on the basis of, any information contained in any Forced Conversion Notice.

3. Reservation of Shares. The Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (without giving effect to the 4.985% Cap), assuming that any conversions will be at the Fixed Conversion Price; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note, the Borrower will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, upon the advice of the Borrower’s counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Borrower shall also at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect all of the maximum amount of Discretionary Conversions as Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversions; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to effect all such conversions, the Borrower will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, upon the advice of the Borrower’s counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any conversion of this Note, all shares of Common Stock, Series DF-1 Preferred Stock or Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (as applicable) issued upon such conversion shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.

4. Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Lender shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).

7. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder

 

A - 16


preclude the full exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No renewal or extension of this Note or the Facility Agreement, no delay in the enforcement of payment under this Note or the Facility Agreement, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or power under this Note or the Facility Agreement shall affect the liability of the Borrower or any endorser of this Note.
