(d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall timely deliver to Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law as reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements and to enable Borrower to comply with such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender, on or prior to the date of becoming a Lender hereunder (and in each case, from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) will deliver to Borrower either:

(i) a duly completed IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that the Lender is a U.S. person for U.S. tax purposes and is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax (provided, however, that if the Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes it shall provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 for its owner in the appropriate manner); or

(ii) if it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is legally entitled to do so, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY or other applicable form (together with any required supporting documentation), or any other applicable certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower, certifying in the case of an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI the extent to which such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement at a reduced rate of, or exemption from, deduction or withholding of any U.S. withholding tax and, if such Lender is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), shall also provide the Borrower with a certificate (the “Portfolio Interest Certificate”) representing that such Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), is not a 10% holder of the Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), and is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code, or any successor provisions thereto); and

(e) If a Lender determines in good faith that it has received a refund from a Government Authority of Taxes in respect of which the Borrower paid Additional Amounts or made a payment pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or Section 2.5(c), such Lender shall promptly pay such refund (limited to the amount of indemnity payments including Additional Amounts made by Borrower under this Section 2.5 with respect to the Taxes refunded) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including any Taxes imposed thereon) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Government Authority and provides written evidence thereof to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including, without limitation, its Tax returns) to any Person, including Borrower.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under such Note would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), then such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.5(f), “FACTA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Agreement Date.

(g) If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Government Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to any of Section 2.5(a) through Section 2.5(c), then such Lender shall at the request of the Borrower use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any such event by completing and delivering or filing any Tax-related forms or other documents that the Lender determines it is lawfully able to deliver, that would establish the Lender’s eligibility for a reduction or elimination of any amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by the Borrower hereunder, unless the Lender determines that such completion, delivery or filing would subject such Lender to any significant unreimbursed cost or loss or would prejudice the legal, commercial or tax position of such Lender.

Section 2.6 Costs, Expenses and Losses. If, as a result of any failure by the Borrower to pay any sums due under this Agreement on the due date therefor (after the expiration of any

The Accrued Interest Amount shall be paid on July 1, 2016.

Section 2.8 Interest on Late Payments.

thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Transaction Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions thereof, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Disbursement was made.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 1.4 and 2.5 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Article 6, including, without limitation, Section 6.11, shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 6.10 Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

Section 6.11 Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each Lender harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Transaction Documents, the extension of credit hereunder, the Loan or the use or intended use of the Loan, or a breach of Section 3.1(h) of this Agreement, regardless of Borrower’s lack of knowledge, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject but (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply (i) to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person or (ii) to Losses that do not involve an act or omission by

 

38


the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person or (iii) in relation to any settlement effected by any Indemnified Person without the Borrower’s consent. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of the Borrower under any Transaction Document to pay any amount to the Lenders, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. For the avoidance on doubt, this Section 6.11 shall not apply to Indemnified Taxes.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying person under this Section 6.11, deliver to Borrower a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Borrower so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to Borrower and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.

(c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and Borrower would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Borrower shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability to the Indemnified person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that Borrower is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

(d) The Borrower will not be liable under the Transaction Documents for any amount paid by an Indemnified Person to settle any claims or actions if the settlement is entered into without the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that this section 6.11(f) shall not apply to those settlements where the Borrower was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that directly and specifically related to the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to assume such defense.

(e) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO PARTY HERETO SHALL ASSERT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFYING PARTY HEREUNDER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGE (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

39


Section 6.12 No Usury. The Transaction Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.

Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Parties shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the other parties hereto such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by any Party to carry out the purposes of any Transaction Document or any or to preserve and protect rights of such Party as contemplated therein.

Section 6.14 Confidentiality. Lenders agree that they will hold any confidential information they may receive from Borrower in connection with The Transaction Documents in confidence, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Subsection 6.14 by Lenders), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by Lenders without use of Borrower’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to Lender by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to Borrower; provided, however, that Lenders may disclose confidential information (i) to their attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Loan from Lenders, if a transfer to such prospective purchaser is permitted and such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Subsection 6.14; (iii) to any existing or prospective Affiliate, partner, member, shareholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of a Lender in the ordinary course of business, provided that Lenders inform such Person that such information is confidential and direct such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, regulation or legal process; or (v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party.

6


(ii) Company’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice or upon the date of a Required Conversion Notice (as defined below), as applicable, the Company (I) shall as soon as practicable send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s designated transfer agent (the Transfer Agent), if applicable, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to any such Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice or Required Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (II) (A) in the case of a conversion prior to an IPO Event, on or before the fifthteenth (15th) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice, and (B) in the case of a conversion after an IPO Event, on or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice or the date of the Required Conversion Notice, as the case may be (the Share Delivery Date), issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice or otherwise specified by the Holder, a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. If this Note is submitted for conversion, as may be required by Section 2(c)(vi), and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than (1) in the case of a conversion prior to an IPO Event, fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of this Note, or (2), in the case of a conversion after an IPO Event, three (3) Business Days (the Note Delivery Date) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the Principal not converted and cancel this Note.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price (including any determination as to Fair Market Value) or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall issue, or instruct the Transfer Agent to issue, as applicable, to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price, Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile or email (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price or Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Company and the Required Note Holders, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder 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.

(iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Shares on the Conversion Date, 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 and the fees and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid by the Company.

(v) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert.

(A) Cash Damages. If, on or before the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for the number of Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met) to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount, or if the Company fails to issue and deliver a new Note representing the Principal to which such Holder is entitled on or before the Note Delivery Date pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii), then in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected and/or each day after the Note Delivery Date such Note is not delivered in an amount equal to (x) in the case of a failure to deliver a certificate for the Conversion Shares, one percent (1%) of the Conversion Amount or (y) in the case of a failure to deliver a new Note, one percent (1%) of the outstanding balance of the new Note. If the Company 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 Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such damages payments described herein, the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) divided by (Y) the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder in the Conversion Note and (ii) the Fair Market Value Price per Conversion Share on the date of the Conversion Notice.

(B) Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a “Void Conversion Notice”) delivered prior to the receipt of such Conversion Shares, may void such applicable 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 such notice; provided, that the voiding of such conversion shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A), 2(c)(v)(C) or otherwise.

 

8


(C) Event of Default. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and entitle the Lenders to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being converted or redeemed. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or redeemed and the dates of such conversions or redemptions 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 any such partial conversion or redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or redeemed as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.

(d) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.

(e) Legends.

(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands and agrees that, for so long as required pursuant to the Investor Agreements, any Conversion Shares shall contain the restrictive legends required pursuant to the terms of the Investor Agreements (the “IA Legends”). The Holder further understands and agrees that (A) until the Conversion Shares have been registered for sale or resale under the Securities Act, (B) are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act without volume restriction or (C) have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, any Conversion Shares shall bear a restrictive legend (the “Securities Legend”) in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT

 

9


INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(1) AND A HALF” SALE.”

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. The certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain the Securities Legend and no legend (other than the IA Legends, if required under the Investor Agreements) shall apply restricting the transfer thereof (any such legend that the certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not so contain or that shall not so apply to the Conversion Shares, as applicable, a “Removable Legend”): (A) while a registration statement covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) without volume restriction or (D) if transfer restrictions are not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall use best efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, if required by the Transfer Agent to issue a certificate evidencing the Conversion Shares without the Removable Legends. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of the Conversion Shares, then the Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all Removable Legends. The Company agrees that following such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met, it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent, if applicable, of a certificate representing Conversion Shares issued with the Removable Legends (such third Trading Day following such delivery, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder one or more certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares that do not contain the Removable Legends and/or a confirmation confirming in respect of such shares that they are free from the Removable Legends.

(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of any restrictive legends from any securities as set forth in this Section 2(e) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell such Conversion Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(f) Adjustments to Conversion Price.

(i) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, Etc.

(A) If at any time after the Mandatory Conversion Time for so long as this Note is outstanding, the Company (x) issues or sells any Common Stock,

 

10


Convertible Securities, warrants, or Options or (y) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange, trading market or quotation system on which shares of Common Stock are then traded, listed or quoted on the Trading Day immediately preceding such issue or sale (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Conversion Price, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Conversion Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities or Options currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof provided that such securities have not been amended since the date hereof to directly or indirectly effectively reduce the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, or (ii) any Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of any options to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (and any individuals who have accepted an offer of employment), in each case in connection with any Approved Stock Plan (as defined below).

For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities or Options, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities or Options expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities or Options had not been issued.

For purposes of this Section 2(f), if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be used.

(B) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Shares for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

11


(C) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 2(f), the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below:

(I) “Approved Stock Plan” means any employee benefit plan which has been duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, pursuant to which the Company’s securities may be issued to any employee, consultant, advisor, officer or director (or any individual who has accepted an offer of employment) for services provided to the Company, and in all cases, providing for a Conversion Price that is at or above the fair market value (as defined in such Approved Stock Plan).

(II) “Convertible Securities” means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock.

(III) “Exempt Issuances” shall mean: (i) prior to the IPO Event, the actual or deemed issuance of any Exempted Securities (as defined in the Charter), and (ii) on or after the IPO Event, the issuance of (a) any Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of any options to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (and any individuals who have accepted an offer of employment), in each case in connection with any Approved Stock Plan, up to a maximum amount of Common Stock not to exceed in any one calendar year 5% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company (as of the beginning of such calendar year, (b) securities upon the exercise, exchange of, conversion or redemption of, or payment of interest or liquidated or similar damages on, any Common Stock issued hereunder, (c) other securities exercisable, exchangeable for, convertible into, or redeemable for shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Note, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Note to directly or indirectly increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of such securities (and including any issuances of securities pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of any such securities), and (d) the issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features (collectively, “Management Incentives”) issued or granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (and individuals who have accepted an offer of employment), which Management Incentives have been approved by the Required Note Holders.

(IV) “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

(V) “Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. In the event a fee is paid by the Company in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party or its affiliates, any such fee shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities or

 

12


Options, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above). In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions or weighted-average anti-dilution provisions similar to that set forth herein, provided that any actual reduction of such price under any such security pursuant to such weighted-average anti-dilution provision shall be included and cause an adjustment hereunder), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.

(ii) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

(iii) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon a Distribution of Assets. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin-off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction (a “Distribution”), then, in each such case, the applicable Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Shares entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such date, to a price determined by multiplying such applicable Conversion Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Fair Market Value of one Share immediately preceding such date minus the Fair Market Value of the Distribution applicable to one Share, and (B) the denominator shall be the Fair Market Value of one Share on the Trading Day immediately preceding such date.

 

13


(iv) Recapitalization or Reclassification. In the event of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, or change affecting the Shares, or any automatic or mandatory conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the class or series of capital stock for which this Note is then convertible (except for a conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares into Common Stock, which this Note handles by its terms), this Note shall become convertible for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, change or conversion by a holder of the same number of Conversion Shares as were purchasable by the Holder pursuant to conversion hereof immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, change or conversion. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon conversion hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Conversion Price payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Conversion Price shall remain the same.

(v) Adjustment for Tax Purposes. The Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those otherwise required by this Section 2(f), as the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivisions of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or any distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock, made after the Issuance Date by the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

(vi) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(f) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(f).

(vii) Notices. Promptly upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. The Company will give written notice to the Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock or the Shares, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or Shares or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Major Transaction, provided that, if such notice is to be provided after the IPO Event, such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder. The Company will also give written notice to the Holder with respect to any Major Transaction as provided under Section 3(b) below.

(g) Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The number of shares of Common Stock (or the number and type of other securities, as applicable) issuable upon conversion pursuant to the Charter of the Series D Preferred Shares into which this Note is initially convertible is subject to adjustment, from time to time, in the manner set forth in the Charter

 

14


and/or Bylaws as if the Series D Preferred Shares into which this Note is convertible were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment. The provisions set forth in the Charter and/or Bylaws (and any amendment thereto) relating to adjustments to the Common Stock (or the number and type of other securities) into which Series D Preferred Shares are convertible pursuant thereto in effect as of the date hereof may not be amended, modified or waived, in a manner adverse to the holders of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, without the prior written consent of the Holder unless (i) such amendment, modification or waiver applies on its face to all shares of Series D Preferred Stock in the same manner or (ii) such amendment, modification or waiver is approved by the Required Note Holders). Nothing in this subsection (g) shall in any way derogate from any other rights of the Holder set forth herein.

(h) Required Conversion. For the seven (7) Business Day period following the satisfaction of the Required Conversion Conditions, the Company may notify the Holder in writing (a “Required Conversion Notice”) of its election to require the Holder to convert the entire principal amount of this Note then outstanding (subject to subsection (i) below) into Conversion Shares (a “Required Conversion”). Following receipt of a Required Conversion Notice, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Conversion Shares in respect of such Required Conversion Notice within the time frame set forth in this Section 2 with respect to Conversion Shares.

(i) Limitations on Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of 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 9.985% of the total number of the shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “9.985% Cap”)); provided that the 9.985% Cap shall not apply to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not deemed to constitute “equity securities” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) under the Exchange Act and, provided further, that the 9.985% Cap shall not apply to an exercise effected following receipt of a Major Transaction Notice (as defined below) in respect of a Major Transaction (as defined below) described in clause (A) of the definition of Major Transaction above in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, until consummation or abandonment of such Major Transaction and, provided further, that the 9.985% Cap shall not apply to the conversion of this Note into IPO Conversion Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, a conversion hereunder (whether at the election of the Holder or the Company) shall be null and void to the extent the issuance of shares upon such conversion would violate this subsection (i).

3. Rights Upon Major Transaction. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Facility Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Principal (and the Interest Amount thereon) outstanding on the Holder’s Notes for cash in accordance with

 

15


Section 3(b) below. In the event the Holder shall not have exercised any of its rights under the immediately preceding sentence within the applicable time periods set forth herein, then the Major Transaction shall be treated as an Assumption (as defined below) in accordance with Section 3(a) below unless the Holder waives its rights under this Section 3 with respect to such Major Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may waive the above provisions of this Section 3 with respect to any Major Transaction and, without limitation, may elect to convert this Note in accordance with the other terms hereof prior to any Major Transaction.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Major Transaction that is to be treated as an Assumption pursuant to this Section 3, unless any Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and provides (a) registration rights that are comparable to those provided to the initial Holder under the Investor Rights Agreement, if the Successor Entity is not a Publicly Traded Successor Entity, or (B) resale registration rights reasonably acceptable to the Holder, if the Successor Entity is a Publicly Traded Successor Entity, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a) pursuant to written agreements and instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Major Transaction (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), including a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument (a “Replacement Note”) substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, representing the appropriate number of shares of the Successor Entity, having similar conversion rights as the Notes (including but not limited to a similar Conversion Price and similar Conversion Price adjustment provisions based on the price per share or conversion ratio, and taking into account any cash consideration, to be received by the holders of Conversion Shares in the Major Transaction) and providing for conversion into the shares of the Successor Entity into or for which shares of the same class and series as the Shares are to be converted or exchanged (“Successor Conversion Shares”). Upon the occurrence of any Major Transaction, but only if a Replacement Note has not been delivered to the Holder in connection therewith, any Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Major Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Major Transaction, but only if a Replacement Note has not been delivered to the Holder in connection therewith, any Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of the Major Transaction, in lieu of the Conversion Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the conversion of the Notes prior to such Major Transaction, such Successor Conversion Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Note. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Major Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note, including any applicable beneficial ownership limitations. Any assumption of Company obligations under this paragraph shall be referred to herein as an “Assumption.”

(b) Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5)

 

16


Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, and (z) the date of execution of the definitive agreement with respect to a Major Transaction, if such agreement is executed prior to an IPO Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), the Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “Early Termination Upon Major Transaction”) all or any portion of the outstanding portion of this Note (without regard to any ownership limitations) by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion (the “Early Termination Portion”) of this Note that the Holder is electing to have so redeemed. The Early Termination Portion shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price”) payable in cash equal to the greater of (1) the Principal amount of the Early Termination Portion and the Interest Amount thereon (additionally including, for this purpose, any interest that would have accrued on such Principal amount from the date of the Major Transaction until the then applicable maturity date of the Note were such Principal amount on the Note outstanding throughout such period), and (2) the amount of cash payable or distributable per Conversion Share plus the Fair Market Value of any property (other than cash) payable or distributable per Conversion Share (or the shares of Common Stock into which such Conversion Shares are then convertible, if greater), in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Charter in connection with such Major Transaction.

(c) Payment of Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as an early termination unless it obtains the written agreement of any Successor Entity that payment of the Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price shall be made to the Holder prior to or concurrently with consummation of such Major Transaction (subject to any holdbacks or escrows applicable to such payment pursuant to the applicable acquisition agreement and subject to standard non-material conditions on such payment imposed by such Successor Entity, such as surrender of this Note and delivery of a letter of transmittal and an applicable IRS Form W-9 or applicable W-8, if applicable), and such payment shall be a condition precedent or concurrent to consummation of such Major Transaction.

(d) Injunction. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Early Termination Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without the Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price being paid to the Holder prior to or concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction in accordance with Section 3(c) above, or obtaining any written agreement of the Successor Entity required by Section 3(c) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder, in full.

 

17


Any payment determined pursuant to clause (1) of Section 3(b) in connection with an early termination shall have priority to payments to holders of capital stock in connection with a Major Transaction and to the extent an early termination required by this Section 3 is deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Note by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, until the Major Transaction Note Early Termination Price is paid in full (excluding any amount subject to escrows or holdbacks and any other contingent consideration that has not accrued), this Note may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Shares, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of a Major Transaction, Successor Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 3. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of the Note under this Section 3, 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 premium due under this Section 3 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.

4. Amendment; Waiver. The terms and provisions of this Note shall not be amended or waived except in a writing signed by the Company and the Holder, provided that the Company and the Required Note Holders may in writing amend the Notes on behalf of all of the Holders of Notes.

5. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that, except as may be set forth in the Facility Agreement, there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

18


6. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all purchasers of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

7. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

8. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Facility Agreement.

9. Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of the Note or the Conversion Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction.

(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 6.5 of the Facility Agreement, the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose (collectively, “Transfer”) of this Note, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Note shall be Transferred and the respective principal amount of the Note to be Transferred to each assignee. The Company shall effect the Transfer within (i) five (5) Business Days, in the case of a transfer occurring prior to an IPO Event, and (ii) three (3) Business Days, in the case of a transfer occurring following the IPO Event (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms for the appropriate principal amount. This Note and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Note are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Note, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called “4(1) and half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4(1) and half” transaction.

10. Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any

 

19


legal proceeding; or (b) an attorney is retained to represent the Holder in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

11. Cancellation. After all Principal, Interest and other amounts at any time owed under, or on account of, this Note have been paid in full or converted into Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, this Note shall automatically be deemed cancelled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

12. Registered Note. This Note may be transferred only upon notation of such transfer on the Register, and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein.

13. Waiver of Notice. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Facility Agreement.

14. Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. All legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Note (whether brought against a party or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

shall not be required for: (1) shares repurchased from former employees, consultants or directors of the Corporation in accordance with restricted stock purchase agreements with such employees, consultants or directors entered into with Board approval, (2) the repurchase of up to $100,000 of additional shares, in the aggregate, of such junior or pari passu classes or series of capital stock, and (3) redemptions of the Series D Preferred Stock as expressly authorized in the Certificate of Incorporation; or

(i) increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board.

E. With respect to any such vote in Subsection 4.D, each share of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding on the record date for determining the stockholders of the Corporation eligible to vote on any such matters shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote.

Section 5. No Redemption. The Corporation shall not have any right or obligation to redeem any shares of Preferred Stock.

Section 6. Liquidation. Upon an Event of Liquidation, subject to the prior payment of any and all amounts required under the Deerfield Convertible Notes, the Deerfield Warrants and the Term Note, the assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as follows:

A. Series D Preferred Stock Preference. Before any distribution or payment is made to any holder of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount with respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. If, upon any Event of Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be distributed among and paid to such holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

B. Series C Preferred Stock Preference. If the holders of Series D Preferred Stock have been paid in full the Liquidation Preference Amounts to which they are entitled, then, before any distribution or payment is made to any holder of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock. If, upon any Event of Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of the Series C Preferred Stock

 

12


shall be distributed among and paid to such holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

C. Series B Preferred Stock Preference. If the holders of Series D Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock have been paid in full the Liquidation Preference Amounts to which they are entitled, then, before any distribution or payment is made to any holder of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock. If, upon any Event of Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be distributed among and paid to such holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

D. Series A Preferred Stock Preference. If the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have been paid in full the Liquidation Preference Amounts to which they are entitled, then, before any distribution or payment is made to any holder of Common Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock. If, upon any Event of Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be distributed among and paid to such holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

E. Distribution of Remaining Assets. If, upon an Event of Liquidation, holders of the Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full the Liquidation Preference Amounts to which they are entitled, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then held by them and the shares of Common Stock that they then have the right to acquire upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock then held by them.

F. Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.

(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event of the type described in subclause (i)(a) of the definition thereof unless the definitive agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation, (subject to the prior payment of any and all amounts required under

 

13


the Deerfield Convertible Notes the Deerfield Warrants and the Term Note) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with the introductory paragraph of this Section 6 and the order of seniority reflected in Subsections 6.A through 6.E above; and, subject to Subsection 6.H below, shall be payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon the closing of such Deemed Liquidation Event.

(b) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event of the type described in subclauses (i)(b) or (ii) of the definition thereof, the Corporation shall, upon the closing of such Deemed Liquidation event, distribute the Available Proceeds to the stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with the introductory paragraph of this Section 6 and the order of seniority reflected in Subsections 6.A through 6.E above. Prior to the distribution provided for in this Subsection 6.F(b), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to pay any and all amounts required under the Deerfield Convertible Notes, the Deerfield Warrants and the Term Note and to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business.

G. Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, or other disposition shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board unless the amount deemed paid or distributed is made in property other than in cash, in which case the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property, determined as follows:

(a) For securities not subject to investment letters or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by paragraph (b) of this Subsection 6.G:

(i) if traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the thirty (30) period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing of such transaction;

(ii) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the volume-weighted average of the closing bid or sale prices over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) business days prior to the closing of such transaction; or

(iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith.

(b) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letters or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a

 

14


stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to take an appropriate discount from the market value as determined as provided in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Subsection 6.G to reflect the adjusted fair market value thereof, all as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith.

H. Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of an Deemed Liquidation Event of the type described in clause (i)(a) of the definition thereof, if any portion of the consideration is Additional Consideration, the definitive agreement or agreements pursuant to which such Deemed Liquidation Event occurs shall provide that (a) the Initial Consideration shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 6 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 6 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Section 6, consideration placed into escrow or retained as holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Additional Consideration.

Section 7. Optional Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 7.

A. Right to Convert. Subject to Subsection 7.C of this Article XIII, each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price for such applicable series by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect for such series at the Conversion Time. As of the Series D Original Issue Date, “Initial Conversion Price” shall mean:

 

  i. with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.40 per share,

 

  ii. with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock, $0.62 per share,

 

  iii. with respect to any share of Series C Preferred Stock, $0.78 per share, and

 

  iv. with respect to any share of Series D Preferred Stock, $0.78 per share.

 

15


The Initial Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 7. “Conversion Price” in the Certificate of Incorporation shall mean, with respect to any share of Preferred Stock, the Initial Conversion Price of said share, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events as described herein, and as otherwise adjusted as provided in this Section 7. In connection with any restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation following the Series D Original Issue Date, the Corporation shall update the Initial Conversion Price in this Subsection 7.A to reflect any adjustments pursuant to Subsection 7.D based on events between the Series D Original Issue Date and the date of such restatement.

B. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any series of the Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of the series of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

C. Mechanics of Conversion.

(a) Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Corporation’s transfer agent at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent and (b), if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent). Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of the Conversion Time. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to his,

 

16


her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 7.B in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted.

(b) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.

(c) Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 7.B and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

(d) No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

(e) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of

 

17


Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

D. Adjustments to Applicable Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

(a) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, respectively, agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. No adjustment in the Conversion Price with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the Corporation receives written notice from the Requisite Series D Holders agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(b) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

  i. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

  ii.

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price applicable to any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Subsection 7.D(c), are

 

18


  revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price applicable to such series of Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

  iii.

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price applicable to any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Subsection 7.D(c) (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 7.D(d)) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series D Original Issue Date for), are revised after the Series D Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions

 

19


  of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 7.D(b)(i) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

  iv. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 7.D(c), the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

  v.

If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 7.D(b) shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Subsection 7.D(b)). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 7.D(b) at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of

 

20


  calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

(c) Adjustment of Applicable Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series D Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Subsection 7.D(b)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Conversion Price of each such applicable series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

“CP2” shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock

“CP1” shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

“A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

“B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and

“C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

21


(d) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 7.D, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

  i. Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

 

  (1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

  (2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board; and

 

  (3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

  ii. Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 7(D)(b), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

 

  (1) The total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 

  (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

22


(e) Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price applicable to a series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Subsection 7.D(c), and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than ninety (90) days from the first such issuance to the final such issuance, then, upon the final such issuance, such Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

E. Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price applicable to a series of Preferred Stock that is in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Subsection 7.E shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

F. Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price applicable to the given series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

23


Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Subsection 7.F as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of the applicable Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of the applicable Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

G. Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series D Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 3 of this Article XIII do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of the applicable Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of the applicable Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

H. Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 6, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 7.D, 7.F or 7.G, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 7 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 7 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the applicable Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Subsection 7.H shall be construed as preventing the holders of Preferred Stock from seeking any appraisal rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the DGCL in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Subsection 7.H be deemed conclusive evidence of the fair value of shares of Preferred Stock in any such appraisal proceeding.

 

24


I. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of a Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of the applicable Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the applicable Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of the applicable Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of the applicable Preferred Stock.

J. Notice of Record Date. In the event:

(a) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Event of Liquidation; or

(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

Section 8. Mandatory Conversion

A. Trigger Events. Upon the closing of (x) a Qualified Public Offering, (y) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, that is not a Qualified Public Offering but is approved by the Deerfield Investor and the Board or (z) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, which written consent or agreement shall include the written consent or agreement of the Requisite Series D Holders, then (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock (the time of such closing or the date and time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to in the Certificate of Incorporation as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), at the then effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Subsection 7.A and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation.

B. Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 8.A, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 8.B. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay cash as provided in Subsection 7.B in lieu of any fraction of a share

 

26


of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

Section 9. Notice of Certain Events. In case the Corporation shall propose at any time or from time to time (A) to declare or pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of Common Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of Common Stock, (B) to offer to the holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (C) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock, (D) to effect any consolidation, merger or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property, assets or business of the Corporation which would, if consummated adjust the Conversion Price or the securities issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, or (E) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then, in each such case, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock at such holder’s address as it appears on the transfer books of the Corporation, a written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify (1) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock or record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (2) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and such notice shall be so given as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) business days prior to the applicable record, determination or effective date, specified in such notice.

ARTICLE XIV.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten (10) days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. If any provision or provisions of this Article XIV shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of

 

27


this Article XIV (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article XIV containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

ARTICLE XV.

The Corporation shall not be governed by or subject to Section 203 of the DGCL.

ARTICLE XVI.

This Certificate of Incorporation shall be effective as of the date on which it is received for filing by the office of the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware.

2


(b) Date of Exercise. The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, completed and executed, is sent to the Company (whether transmission by the Holder is by facsimile, electronic mail or mail), provided that the Exercise Price is satisfied, within two (2) Business Days thereafter. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by electronic mail, facsimile or otherwise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been Exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are issued or delivered. The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any.

(c) Delivery of Shares Upon Exercise. Upon an exercise of this Warrant, within the Delivery Period (as defined below), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”)) to issue and deliver, if applicable), in accordance to the terms hereof to or upon the order of the Holder, that number of Shares for the portion of this Warrant exercised as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including the instructions to and the costs associated with obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel, if applicable, to assure that any such Transfer Agent shall, to the extent applicable issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Exercise representing the number of Shares issuable upon such Exercise. “Delivery Period” means the period beginning on the Date of Exercise and ending (i) in the case of an exercise made prior to an IPO Event, fifteen (15) Business Days after such Date of Exercise and (ii) in the case of an exercise made after an IPO Event, three (3) Business Days after such Date of Exercise. “Exercise Shares” means the number of Shares that are issuable by the Company in respect of an exercise hereunder.

(d) Delivery Failure. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect issuance or delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company (or until the date the applicable Exercise Shares are delivered, if earlier).

(e) Legends.

(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that, for so long as required pursuant to the Investor Agreements, the Exercise Shares shall contain the restrictive legends required pursuant to the terms of the Investor Agreements (the “IRA Legends”). The Holder further understands that following the later of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the IPO Event, until the Exercise Shares have been registered for resale under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold is available, the Exercise Shares may bear a restrictive legend (the “Securities Legend”) or the Securities Legend shall apply, as applicable, in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(1) AND A HALF” SALE.”

 

3


(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. The Exercise Shares shall not contain the Securities Legend and no legend (other than the IRA Legends, if required under the Investor Agreements) shall apply, as applicable, restricting the transfer thereof: (A) while a registration statement covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Exercise Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Exercise Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) without volume restriction, or (D) if transfer restrictions are not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). Upon request to the Company by Holder to remove the Securities Legend from any Exercise Shares or to issue Exercise Shares without the Securities Legend upon exercise of the Warrant, in either case based on an Unrestricted Condition being met, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the satisfaction of an Unrestricted Condition if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the issuance of the Exercise Shares without such restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder, subject, in respect of a legend removal request prior to effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares, receipt by such counsel of certification of the holder of the Exercise Shares that it is not at such time, and has not been during the previous three month period, an affiliate of the Company (a “Rule 144 Certification”). If an Unrestricted Condition is met at the time of issuance of the Exercise Shares, then such Exercise Shares shall be issued free of all legends (other than any IRA Legends required under the Investor Agreements). The Company agrees that following such time as an Unrestricted Condition is met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, upon delivery of a written request to the Company by the holder of the Exercise Shares to remove the Securities Legend based upon an Unrestricted Condition being met, no later than the date (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”) that is the later of (A) three (3) Trading Days (or fifteen (15) Business Days if prior to an IPO Event) following the delivery by the holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of the Exercise Shares, issued with such restrictive legend and (B) if (and only if) a Rule 144 Certification is required by the second sentence of this paragraph, two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Rule 144 Certification to counsel to the Company, deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder the Exercise Shares free of all restrictive legends, and/or a confirmation (or electronic transfer) confirming in respect of such shares that it is free from all restrictive and other legends (other than any IRA Legends then required under the Investor Agreements).

(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from any securities as set forth in
Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell such Exercise Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or a valid exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(f) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise, of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Shares for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Shares; provided, however, as set forth in
Section 2(b), Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this warrant if the Warrant is not exercised in full.

(g) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for Shares is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery or issuance of the Shares purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant.

(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares. Following the Mandatory Conversion Time, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.

(i) Buy-In. Following the Mandatory Conversion time, in addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares

through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the Delivery Period, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times and (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such Exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its Exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted Exercise to cover the sale of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise.

(a) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall equal $[        ] per share (with respect to shares of Series D Preferred Stock) and, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Time shall equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time divided by the prevailing Per Share Underlying Common Amount, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below.

Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Holder:

(i) Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check, wire transfer or through a reduction of an amount of principal outstanding under any Notes (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.3(b) of the Facility Agreement, then held by the Holder (a “Cash Exercise”); or

(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall send to the Company (via overnight mail, electronic mail or facsimile) at its principal office a notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

X = Y (A-B)/A

where: X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Shares for which this Warrant is being Exercised.

A = (i) prior to an IPO Event, the Fair Market Value of each Share and (ii) after an IPO Event the product of (x) the applicable Per Share Underlying Common Amount immediately following such Exercise multiplied by (y) the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), where “Market Price,” as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of a share of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date in question); provided, that if the Mandatory Conversion Time shall have occurred, such amount shall equal the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock.

B = the Exercise Price.

As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for any security as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”), or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for such security, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or on the OTC Pink Market operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above (including because the Company’s Shares are not then listed on any principal securities exchange or trading market or any over the counter market), the Volume Weighted Average Price shall be the Fair Market Value for which the calculation of the Volume Weighted Average Price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Shares are traded for any period on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Shares are then being traded or, prior to such time as the Shares are so traded, shall mean any Business Day.

For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(x) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Shares shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was originally issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Shares issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Shares shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued. As provided in Section 2(b), the Holder shall only be required to physically surrender this Warrant in the event that the Holder is exercising this Warrant in full.

(b) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price, the Volume Weighted Average Price or the Fair Market Value or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Exercise Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Required Holders and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the closing price, the Volume Weighted Average Price or the Fair Market Value or Major Transaction Early Warrant Early Termination Price to a nationally recognized, independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders, which investment bank shall not have provided services to either the Company, the Holder or any of their respective Affiliates during the five-year period preceding the date of its selection, or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Required Holders of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error and the Company shall pay the fees and costs of such investment banker or accountant.

4. Transfer. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.

5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events.

(a) Participation. The Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive from the Company such amount equal to the amount of dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock to the same extent as if the Holder had Exercised this Warrant into Shares (or, as applicable, had converted such Shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock) and had held such Shares or conversion shares, as applicable, on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Shares or Common Stock, as the case may be.

(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the Shares (whether shares of Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock) shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of Shares which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of Shares by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Shares of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).

(c) Rights Upon Major Transaction.

(i) Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) occurs, then the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Holder’s outstanding Warrants in accordance with Section 5(c)(iii) below. In the event the Holder shall not have exercised any of its rights under the immediately preceding sentence within the applicable time periods set forth herein, then the Major Transaction shall be treated as an Assumption (as defined below) in accordance with Section 5(c)(ii) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder may waive the above provisions of this Section 5(c) with respect to any Major Transaction and, without limitation, may elect to Exercise this Warrant prior to any Major Transaction.

Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:

(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of shares of voting stock of the Company immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the shares of voting stock or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company, or (2) as a result of which Shares or shares of voting stock shall be changed into (or the holders of Shares or shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);

(B) the sale or transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person or (ii) assets of the Company for a purchase price equal to more than 50% of the Applicable Value (as defined below);

(C) a third party purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of outstanding Shares or shares of any class(es) or series capital stock, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;

 

7


(D) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company;

(E) after an IPO Event the shares of Common Stock cease to be listed on any Eligible Market on which they are then listed or quoted and are not promptly re-listed or requoted on an Eligible Market;

(F) at any time after an IPO Event, the shares of Common Stock cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or

(G) any “Event of Liquidation” occurs under the terms of the Charter;

provided, however, that, a Major Transaction or Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of the transfer of ownership of any shares of capital stock of the Company without the consent or agreement of the Company; provided that such proviso shall not apply to an event specified in subsection (G) of the definition of Major Transaction.

(ii) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Major Transaction that is to be treated as an Assumption pursuant to Section 5(c)(i), unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement (and any notes issued thereunder) and provides registration rights comparable to those provided to the initial Holder under the Investor Rights Agreement, in accordance with the provisions of this Section (ii) (an “Assumption”) pursuant to written agreements and instruments (“Assumption Agreements”) necessary to effect such Assumption in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Major Transaction (such consents and approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), including the delivery to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Warrants (the “Successor Warrant”), including, without limitation, representing the appropriate number of shares of the Successor Entity having the exercise rights contained herein (including but not limited to the prevailing aggregate Exercise Price at such time and underlying number and type of securities, based on the price per share or conversion ratio to be received by the holders of Shares in the Major Transaction) and containing the other rights set forth herein, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders; provided, however, that the Facility Agreement and any notes issued thereunder shall not be required as Assumption Agreements in the event the Company has prepaid all outstanding indebtedness (and all accrued interest) owed under the Facility Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Major Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant including any applicable ownership limitations. The Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as an Assumption unless the Successor Warrant and other Assumption Agreements are issued and delivered to the Holder in accordance with the provisions hereof concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction and such issuance and delivery shall be an express written condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction.

(iii) Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right. At least twenty (20) days prior to the consummation or occurrence of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (z) the date of execution of the definitive agreement with respect to a Major Transaction, if such agreement is executed prior to an IPO Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Major Transaction (or portion thereof) described in Section 5(c)(i) (the “Early Termination Period”), the Holder may require the Company to redeem (an “Early Termination Upon Major Transaction”) all or any portion of this Warrant (without regard to any ownership limitations hereunder) by delivering written notice thereof (a “Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the principal amount (the “Early Termination Principal Amount”) of the Warrant (by reference to the number of shares issuable upon a Cash Exercise of the Principal Amount) that the Holder is electing to have redeemed. The portion of this Warrant subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5(c)(iii) (the “Redeemable Shares”), shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price”) payable in cash equal to the “Black-Scholes Value” of the Early Termination Principal Amount determined by use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Black-Scholes Value”).

 

8


(iv) Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. The Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as an early termination unless it (1) either (a) shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount of cash equal to the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or (b) obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that the payment of the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price shall be made to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction and such issuance or payment shall be a condition precedent to consummation of such Major Transaction; (2) in the case of a Major Transaction (or applicable portion) that is being treated as an Assumption, shall first cause the Successor Entity to issue and deliver the Successor Warrant and any applicable Assumption Agreements to the Holder in accordance with subsection (ii) above, and (3) in the event of a Major Transaction prior to an IPO Event with a Private Successor Entity that is not a Cash-Out Major Transaction and that is being treated as a redemption hereunder, causes the Successor Entity to provide the Holder with appropriate and reasonable access to information (subject to execution by the Holder of a non-disclosure agreement in customary and reasonable form) to determine the fair market value of its shares as per Schedule 1 hereto and to submit any dispute with the Holder as to such determination to a dispute resolution similar to that provided in Section 3(b) hereof. The Company shall, concurrently upon closing of such Major Transaction, pay or instruct the escrow agent to pay the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder.

(v) Injunction. In the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without (1) either (a) placing the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price in escrow in accordance with subsection (iii) above, as applicable, (b) paying the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder prior to consummation of such Major Transaction, or (c) obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (iii) above; (2) in the case of a Major Transaction (or applicable portion) that is being treated as an Assumption, causing the Successor Entity to issue and deliver the Successor Warrant and any applicable Assumption Agreements to the Holder and (3) in the case of a Major Transaction with a Private Successor Entity that is not a Cash-Out Major Transaction and that is being treated as a redemption, causing the Successor Entity to take the actions described in subsection (iii) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until such applicable required action is completed, in full.

An early termination required by this Section 5(c) shall have priority to payments to holders of capital stock in connection with a Major Transaction and to the extent an early termination required by this Section 5(c)(iii) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Major Transaction Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Shares, or in the event the Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Major Transaction, shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity pursuant to Section 5(c). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(c), 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 premium due under this Section 5(c) 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.

For purposes hereof:

“Applicable Value” means (i) at any time that the Company is subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, (A) the product of (x) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date the Company delivers the Major Transaction Notice multiplied by (y) the per share closing price of the Common Stock on such date plus (B) the amount of the Company’s debt as shown on the latest financial statements filed with the SEC (the “Current Financial Statements”) plus (C) the aggregate liquidation preference of each class of the Company’s preferred stock less (D) the amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Company as shown on the Current Financial Statements; and (ii) at any time that the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, the book value of the Company’s assets as shown on the most recent financial statements of the Company.

No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the aggregate Exercise Price in relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Shares.

(e) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Shares) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein to Shares shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.

 

10


(f) Adjustment of Exercise Price upon Issuance of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, Etc.

(i) If at any time after the Mandatory Conversion Time for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (x) issues or sells any Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants, or Options or (y) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange, trading market or quotation system on which shares of Common Stock are then traded, listed or quoted on the Trading Day immediately preceding such issue or sale (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Exercise Price, then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Exercise Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities or Options currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof provided that such securities have not been amended since the date hereof to directly or indirectly effectively reduce the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, or (ii) any Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of any options to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (and any individuals who have accepted an offer of employment), in each case in connection with any Approved Stock Plan (as defined below).

For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities or Options, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities or Options, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities or Options expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Exercise Price shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities or Options had not been issued.

For purposes of this Section 5(f), if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be used.

(ii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Shares for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(iii) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5(f), the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below:

“Approved Stock Plan” means any employee benefit plan which has been duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, pursuant to which the Company’s securities may be issued to any employee, consultant, advisor, officer or director (or any individual who has accepted an offer of employment) for services provided to the Company, and in all cases, providing for an Exercise Price that is at or above the fair market value (as defined in such Approved Stock Plan).

“Convertible Securities” means any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock.

“Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

 

11


“Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. In the event a fee is paid by the Company in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party or its affiliates, any such fee shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities or Options, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above). In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions or weighted-average anti-dilution provisions similar to that set forth herein, provided that any actual reduction of such price under any such security pursuant to such weighted-average anti-dilution provision shall be included and cause an adjustment hereunder), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities or Options which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.

(g) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(f), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.

(h) Failure of Qualified Public Offering to Occur. In the event that no Qualified Public Offering has occurred prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term, the Holder shall have the right, by prior written notice delivered via electronic mail, facsimile, regular mail or overnight delivery to the Company at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Term (the “Term Redemption Notice”) to require the Company to redeem this Warrant, on or prior to the date of the expiration of the Term, for an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Underlying Share Fair Market Value, over the (y) the aggregate Exercise Price of all Shares underlying this Warrant at such time. For purposes hereof, “Underlying Share Fair Market Value” means the Fair Market Value of the remaining Shares issuable upon a Cash Exercise of this Warrant as of the date of the Term Redemption Notice. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a Term Redemption Notice, the Company shall submit its calculation of “Underlying Share Fair Market Value” and supporting documentation, to the Holder. Any dispute shall be handled in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in Section 3(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5(g) shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Warrant.

(i) Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The number of shares of Common Stock (or the number and type of other securities, as applicable) issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, are subject to adjustment, from time to time, in the manner set forth in the Charter as if the shares of Series D Preferred Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment. The provisions set forth in the Charter relating to adjustments to the Common Stock (or the number and type of other securities) into which shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible in effect as of the date hereof may not be amended, modified or waived, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with all shares of
Series D Preferred Stock in the same manner. Nothing in this subsection (h) shall in any way derogate from any other rights of the Holder set forth herein.

 

12


6. Fractional Interests.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of Shares. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional Share or a right to acquire a fractional Share, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of Shares issuable upon Exercise shall be the next higher whole number of shares.

7. Authorized Share Capital.

From and after the date hereof, the Company shall procure (including by obtaining all corporate authorizations for issuance of warrants and the underlying securities, the exclusion of pre-emptive rights as well as waivers of any transfer restrictions) that, at all times, its authorized share capital shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price and for the conversion of all Shares issuable hereunder and payment of the exercise price applicable to such Shares. If at any time the amount of the authorized share capital of the Company is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant or the conversion of the Shares issuable hereunder (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price or conversion price, as the case may be, in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to increase the authorized share capital of the Company, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders and/or any other relevant corporate body to amend the Charter increasing the authorized share capital of the sufficiently high to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all Shares issuable upon such Exercise 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.

8. Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of the Warrant or the Exercise Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold or assigned except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws including, without limitation, a so-called “4(a)(1) and a half” transaction.

(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 8(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant (a “Transfer”), in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be Transferred to each transferee. The Company shall effect the Transfer within three (3) Business Days of the satisfaction by a transferring Holder of all requirements of this Warrant for Transfer (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, following an IPO Event, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called “4(a)(1) and half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C that may be relied upon by the Company shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4(a)(1) and half” transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Transfer of this Warrant, in whole or in part while the terms of any such Investor Agreement are applicable to the Holder in its capacity as holder of this Warrant, shall be subject to as a condition of such Transfer the transferee entering into and becoming party, to the same extent as the transferring Holder in its capacity as holder of this Warrant, to (i) the Investor Rights Agreement, (ii) the ROFR Agreement, and (iii) the Voting Agreement, as applicable.

9. Noncircumvention.

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Charter, bylaws, shareholders agreement or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, demerger, 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 Warrant, and will at all times exercise best efforts and good faith to carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be reasonably required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value or the rights or terms of any Shares or of the Common Stock without the prior consent of the Holder, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

10. Events of Failure; Definition of Black-Scholes Value.

(a) Definition.

The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”

(i) a Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to issue and deliver Exercise Shares to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period;

(ii) a Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to issue Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend pursuant to the requirements of Section 2, or fails to remove a restrictive legend pursuant to the requirements of Section 2 or fails to remove any IRA Legend at a time when such legend is not required pursuant to the Investor Agreements;

(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to deliver a Warrant pursuant to Sections 4 and 8 within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; or

(iv) a “Registration Failure” occurs.

For purposes hereof, a “Registration Failure” shall have occurred if the Company shall have failed to comply with its obligations to the Holder under Section 2 of the Investor Rights Agreement.

(b) Failure Payments; Black-Scholes Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to the Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to pay on a daily basis to the Holder an amount payable in cash (“Failure Payments”) equal to the amount resulting from the quotient of (A) the amount resulting from the product of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less), multiplied by (ii) the Black-Scholes value (as determined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant (without regard to any ownership limitations hereunder) on the date of such Event of Failure (as recalculated on the first Business Day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue), where the result of such product is divided by (B) 365, and such amount shall accrue daily from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full.

The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Warrant Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.

For purposes hereof, the “Black-Scholes” value of a Warrant shall be determined by use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.

(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Failure Payment for each Event of Failure shall be paid on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). If a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.

 

14


(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.

11. Default.

(a) Events Of Default. Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default” unless waived by the Holder:

(i) Failure To Deliver Shares. A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days or at any time, the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue Shares to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant;

(ii) Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days;

(iii) Transfer Delivery Failure. Transfer Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days;

(iv) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. (A) The Company has failed to obtain the written agreement of the Successor Entity, or to cause the Successor Entity to take the actions required, pursuant to Section 5(c)(iv) or (B) with respect to a Major Transaction that is to be treated as an Assumption under the terms hereof, the Company has failed to meet the Assumption requirements of
Section 5(c)(ii); and

(v) Failure to Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than thirty (30) days.

(b) Mandatory Early Termination.

(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount. If any Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall be obligated to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Default Amount”) equal to the greater of (1) the Black-Scholes value (as determined in accordance with Section 10(b)) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant (without regard to any ownership limitations hereunder) on the date of such Default Notice and (2) the Black-Scholes value (also as determined in accordance with Section 10(b)) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant (without regard to any ownership limitations hereunder) on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Mandatory Early Termination Amount is paid to the Holder.

The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.

(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly

 

15


disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.

The Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(c) Posting Of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 130% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect).

(d) Injunction And Posting Of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.

(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

11. Holder’s Early Terminations.

In the event that the Company does not deliver the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or the Default Amount, as the case may be, to the Holder within the time period or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time thereafter the Holder shall have the option, upon notice to the Company, in lieu of early termination, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable early termination or exercise, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to such applicable portion of this Warrant and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant, or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding an early termination or exercise and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant subject to such notice.

12. Benefits of this Warrant.

13. Governing Law.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

14. Loss of Warrant.

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security or an affidavit of loss, theft or destruction, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

FORM OF OPINION

            , 20    

[                    ]

Re: [                    ] (the “Company”)

Dear Sir:

[                    ] (“[                    ]”) intends to transfer                      Warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Company to                     (“                     ”) without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection therewith, we have examined and relied upon the truth of representations contained in an Investor Representation Letter attached hereto and have examined such other documents and issues of law as we have deemed relevant.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the transfer of the Warrants by                      to                      may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, provided, however, that the Warrants to be transferred to                      contain a legend restricting its transferability pursuant to the Securities Act and that transfer of the Warrants is subject to a stop order.

The foregoing opinion is furnished only to                      and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to or relied upon by you for any purposes other than the purpose for which furnished or by any other person for any purpose, without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
