Original Principal Amount: $3,150,000

Issuance Date: [_________]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CELULARITY INC., an entity organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of YA II PN, LTD., or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the amount set out above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to repayment, redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) and Payment Premium, as applicable, in each case when due, and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date or acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section ‎(12). The Issuance Date is the date of the first issuance of this Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) regardless of the number of transfers and regardless of the number of instruments, which may be issued to evidence such Note. This Note was issued with a 5% original issue discount.

 

This Note is being issued pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated [___________] (as may be amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “SEPA”), between the Company and the YA II PN, Ltd., as the Investor. This Note may be repaid in accordance with the terms of the SEPA, including, without limitation, pursuant to Investor Notices and corresponding Advance Notices deemed given by the Company in connection with such Investor Notices. The Holder also has the option of converting on one or more occasions all or part of the then outstanding balance under this Note by delivering to the Company one or more Conversion Notices in accordance with Section 3 of this Note.

 

 

(1) GENERAL TERMS

 

(a) Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note. The “Maturity Date” shall be [________], 2025¹, as may be extended at the option of the Holder. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay or redeem any portion of the outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest.

 

(b) Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to 8% (“Interest Rate”), which Interest Rate shall increase to an annual rate of 18% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (for so long as such event remains uncured or waived). Interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(c) Optional Redemptions. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Company at its option shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Note, from time to time, by either making a Cash Repayment (as defined below) in accordance with Section 1(c)(i), or an Advance Redemption (as defined below) in accordance with Section 1(c)(ii).

 

(i) Cash Redemption. The Company at its option shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem in cash (a “Cash Redemption”) early a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Note as described in this Section; provided that (i) the Company provides the Holder with at least 10 Trading Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise a Cash Redemption, and (ii) on the date the Redemption Notice is issued, the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price. Each Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the outstanding balance of the Note to be redeemed and the Redemption Amount. The “Redemption Amount” shall be equal to the outstanding Principal balance being redeemed by the Company, plus the Payment Premium, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest. After receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Holder shall have 10 Trading Days to elect to convert all or any portion of the Note. On the 11th Trading Day after the Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions or other payments effected during the 10 Trading Day period.

 

(ii) Advance Redemption. The Company at its option shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem a portion of this Note by submitting an Advance Notice (as defined in the SEPA) (an “Advance Redemption”) to the Holder. Upon the closing of such Advance Notice in accordance with Section 2.02 of the SEPA, the Holder shall offset the amount due to be paid by the Holder to the Company under the SEPA against an equal amount outstanding under this Note (first towards accrued and unpaid Interest and then towards Principal). No Payment Premium shall apply in respect of an Advance Repayment.

 

¹ Insert date 12 months from the Issuance Date.

 

 

For so long as this Note is outstanding, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, if the Company delivers an Advance Notice under the SEPA, the Company shall be deemed to have elected an Advance Repayment in respect of such Advance Notice up to amount outstanding under this Note, until this Note is fully repaid.

 

(d) Payment Dates. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(3) CONVERSION OF NOTE. This Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section ‎(3).

 

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the limitations of Section ‎(3)(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares in accordance with Section ‎(3)(b), at the Conversion Price. The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section ‎(3)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Shares upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section ‎(3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Shares, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Shares up or down to the nearest whole share (e.g., rounding up 0.50 and higher). The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

 

(b) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Common Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section ‎(3)(b)(iii), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third (3^rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on book-entry registrations of Common Shares and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a book-entry registrations, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled which Common Shares shall bear a restrictive legend unless not required pursuant to rules and regulations of the Commission. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion 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 representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.

 

 

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If by the Share Delivery Date the Company shall fail to issue and deliver Common Shares to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Common Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver (and to issue) such Common Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a book-entry registrations representing such Common Shares 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 Common Shares, times (B) the Closing Price on the Conversion Date.

 

(iii) Book-Entry. 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 and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

 

(c) Limitations on Conversions.

 

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Because the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of Common Shares it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of Common Shares in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Shares without regard to any other shares that may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum Principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section ‎(3)(a) and, any Principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

 

 

(ii) Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Common Shares upon conversion of this Note, or otherwise, if the issuance of such Common Shares, together with any Common Shares issued in connection the any related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed the aggregate number Common Shares that the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of [Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”)] and shall be referred to as the “Exchange Cap,” except that such limitation shall not apply if the Company’s stockholders have approved such issuances on such terms in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq.

 

(d) Other Provisions.

 

(i) All calculations under this Section ‎(3) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.

 

(ii) So long as this Note remain outstanding, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized share capital, and shall have instructed its transfer agent to irrevocably reserve, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) this Note is convertible at the Conversion Price as of the date of determination, (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note set forth herein or therein (the “Required Reserve Amount”), provided that at no time shall the number of Common Shares reserved pursuant to this Section ‎(3)(d)(ii) be reduced other than proportionally with respect to all Common Shares in connection with any conversion (other than pursuant to the conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms) and/or cancellation, or reverse stock split. If at any time the number of Common Shares authorized but unissued and not otherwise reserved for issuance (including (i) in relation to equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or that can be settled in Common Shares (other than the Note) and (ii) Common Shares remaining available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans) is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to propose to its general meeting of stockholders an increase of its authorized share capital necessary to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Note, recommending that stockholders vote in favor of such an increase. If at any time the number of Common Shares that remain available for issuance under the Exchange Cap is less than 100% of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of all the Notes then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Notes are convertible at the Conversion Price then in effect, and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Note), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly call and hold a stockholder meeting for the purpose of seeking the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market, for issuances of shares in excess of the Exchange Cap. The Company covenants that, upon issuance in accordance with conversion of this Note in accordance with its terms, the Common Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

 

(iii) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section ‎(2) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing Common Shares upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

(iv) [Reserved].

 

(e) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares, (b) subdivide outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(f) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, issues or sells any Common Shares or Convertible Securities, other than pursuant to the SEPA, for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (such price the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For the purposes hereof, if the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Share upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

 

 

(g) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the Common Shares receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Common Shares had such Common Shares been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the Common Shares otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Common Shares in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to Common Shares) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Price. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the issuance or exercise of this Warrant, except for (i) such federal and state securities filings as may be necessary, which filings will be timely effected after the date hereof and (ii) such other approval that has been obtained prior to the date hereof.

 

(e) Reliance by Holder. The Company understands that the representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgements set forth in this Section 5 constitute a material inducement to Holder entering into this Warrant.

 

6. Representations and Warranties of Holder.

 

6.1 Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the following representations and warranties are true and correct:

 

(a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Warrant is being entered into for investment for Holder’s own account not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The acquisition by Holder of this Warrant shall constitute confirmation of the representation by Holder that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to this Warrant.

 

 

(b) Investment Experience. Holder is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of entering into this Warrant. Holder acknowledges that the acquisition of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold such shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment. Holder acknowledges that the Company has not made any representations or warranties as to whether the Exercise Price to be paid by Holder for the Class A Common Stock is a fair value for such shares and the Company takes no position with respect to the fairness of the Exercise Price or the future prospects and valuation of the Company. Holder is aware of the fact that the value of the Class A Common Stock to be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may significantly depreciate over time and there can be no assurances that the value of such shares will increase or to what extent. In connection with making an investment decision in connection with entering into this Warrant, Holder will be relying on its own knowledge and experience and advice obtained from Holder’s legal, tax and financial advisor.

 

(c) Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

 

(d) Legends. It is understood that the certificates, if any, evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may bear any of the legends required by applicable state securities laws.

 

(e) Reliance by Company. Holder understands that the representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgements set forth in this Section 6 constitute a material inducement to the Company entering into this Warrant.

 

(f) Foreign Investors. Holder hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with entering into this Warrant, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for entering into this Warrant and the exercise of this Warrant, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to the exercise of this Warrant, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, including with respect to the payment of the Exercise Price, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of this Warrant or the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof. The Holder’s acquisition of this Warrant and payment for the Class A Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant and continued beneficial ownership of such shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction.

 

7. No Fractional Shares. No fractional share of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and (a) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or (b) in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount. The Holder shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses incidental to replacement of this Warrant.

 

 

9. Rights of Stockholder. This Warrant shall not entitle its holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have been issued.

 

10. Notice of Certain Events. Whenever the Exercise Price or number of shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 12 hereof and if so requested by Holder, the Company shall issue a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer, or other similar officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of this Warrant.

 

11. Amendments; Waivers.

 

11.1 Amendments. The provisions of this Warrant may be amended (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. The foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect Holder’s right to waive any of such Holder’s rights hereunder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11.1 shall be binding upon Holder and Holder’s successors and assigns.

 

11.2 Waivers. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

 

12. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number and type of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

12.1 Reclassification, etc. If, at any time on or after the date hereof and while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, the Company shall, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 12; provided, however, that the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

 

12.2 Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If at any time on or after the date hereof and while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, the Company shall split, subdivide or combine the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into a different number of securities of the same class, the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision or proportionately increased in the case of a combination. Upon an adjustment in the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 12.2, the number of shares subject to this Warrant (which were the subject of such split, subdivision or combination) shall be adjusted accordingly such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchase of such shares shall remain the same as before such split, subdivision or combination.

 

 

12.3 Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If at any time on or after the date hereof and while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, the holders of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist at the time shall have received, or on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company by way of dividend or other distribution in respect of the Class A Common Stock, then, and in each case, this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Company which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the security receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 12, and, from and after the date of such distribution, the Company shall hold and set aside (or cause to be held and set aside in a commercially reasonable manner) an amount of such property equal to Holder’s pro rata portion thereof for distribution to Holder pursuant hereto.

 

13. Reservation of Capital Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant.

 

14. Miscellaneous.

 

14.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The warranties, representations and covenants of each party hereto contained in or made pursuant to this Warrant shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant and shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Holder or the Company, as applicable.

 

14.2 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.

 

14.3 Governing Law. This Warrant is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. All disputes and controversies arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be resolved exclusively by the state or federal courts located within the City of Wilmington in the State of Delaware, and each party hereto agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and agrees that venue shall lie exclusively with such courts.

 

 

14.4 Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. EACH OF HOLDER AND THE COMPANY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT.

 

14.5 Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been duly given (i) when hand delivered to the other party; (ii) when sent by email or facsimile if sent between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a Business Day, or on the next Business Day if sent by email or facsimile other than between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a Business Day; (iii) seven Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail with first class or certified mail receipt requested postage prepaid and addressed to the other party; or (iv) the next Business Day after deposit with an international overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the parties with next Business Day delivery guaranteed, provided that the sending party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery service provider. Each person making a communication hereunder by email or facsimile shall promptly confirm by telephone between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a Business Day to the person to whom such communication was addressed each communication made by it by email or facsimile pursuant hereto but the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of any such communication. All communications shall be sent to the address, email address or facsimile number of a party appearing in its signature block hereto or at such address, email address or facsimile number as such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

 

14.6 Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Warrant would result in substantial harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance).

 

14.7 Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g.www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
