In the event that the Issuer or the managing underwriter waives or terminates any of the restrictions contained in this Section 4(c)(i) or in a lock-up agreement with any other Holder, any “Holder” as defined in the Rights Agreement, officer, director or greater than one-percent holder of Common Equity of the Issuer (in any such case, the “Released Securities”), the restrictions contained in this Section 4(c)(i) and in any lock-up agreements executed by the Holder shall be waived or terminated, as applicable, to the same extent and with respect to the same percentage of securities of the Holder as the percentage of Released Securities represent with respect to the securities held by the applicable Holder, “Holder” under the Rights Agreement, officer, director or greater than one-percent (1%) holder of Common Equity of the Issuer.

(ii) The Holder hereby agrees that, in connection with any Public Company Event that is a Direct Listing or a deSPAC Transaction, the Holder will agree to be bound by any “lock-up” or similar restriction on transfer that the Major Investors, in general, agree to be bound by or subject to in connection with such Public Company Event.

SECTION 5. CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENTS.

(a) Change of Control Event Notice. The Issuer shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of a Change of Control Event (the “Change of Control Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Change of Control Effective Time; provided, that if the Issuer does not have thirty (30) days’ prior knowledge of such Change of Control Event, it shall provide a Change of Control Notice as soon as practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof. The date of the anticipated Change of Control Effective Time will be determined in good faith by the Issuer.

 

13


(b) Conversion to Common Equity. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, if this Note has not previously been redeemed, converted, exchanged or repaid as of the Change of Control Effective Time, as the case may be, this Note shall, subject to Section 4(b)(ii)(3), automatically convert in full as of the Change of Control Effective Time into a number of shares of Common Equity of the Issuer equal to (1) the Note Obligations Amount as of the Change of Control Effective Time divided by (2) the Change of Control Conversion Price.

SECTION 6. MERGER COVENANT. In no event shall the Issuer effect an Internal Reorganization Transaction or a Merger Event (other than a Change of Control Event) without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, unless (i) the Successor Issuer is properly classified as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) if the Issuer becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a Successor Issuer in connection therewith, (x) the Successor Issuer becomes an additional obligor on the Notes (together with the Issuer) and expressly assumes this Note and the conversion obligations, if any, and payment obligations under this Note and (y) if and to the extent applicable, the Notes thereafter are convertible into the Common Equity of such Successor Issuer in accordance with the terms of and conditions of this Note.

SECTION 7. CONVERSION PROCEDURES.

(a) General Conversion Procedures. If the issuance of the Conversion Securities would result in the issuance of a fractional share of the Conversion Securities, such fractional share shall be forfeited. The Issuer shall pay any transfer, stamp or similar Tax due on the issuance or delivery of the Conversion Securities upon conversion, except any such transfer, stamp or similar Tax that is due because the converting Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Issuer shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery of the Conversion Securities upon conversion unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Issuer the amount of any such transfer, stamp or similar Tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer, that such transfer, stamp or similar Tax has been paid or is not payable. Delivery of Conversion Securities shall, unless otherwise requested in writing by the Holder and agreed by the Issuer, be by means of delivery of book entry shares to the account of the Holder or to the account of the securities intermediary of the Holder for the benefit of the Holder, in each case, pursuant to the instructions provided pursuant to this Section 7.

(b) Conversion Procedures. In connection with any conversion of this Note, the Holder shall promptly (i) deliver instructions for delivery of the Conversion Securities and (ii) surrender this Note to the Issuer (or, in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer) no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the Conversion Time; provided that failure to timely deliver instructions for delivery of the Conversion Securities or to timely surrender this Note shall toll, but not release the Issuer of its obligations hereunder or delay the Conversion Date of this Note. Upon conversion of this Note, the Issuer

 

14


shall deliver the Conversion Securities to the Holder no later than by 12:00 p.m. New York time on the later of, (x) (A) with respect to a Public Company Event other than a deSPAC Transaction, the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Time and (B) with respect to a deSPAC Transaction, a Change of Control Event or a Maturity Conversion, the Conversion Time, and (y) the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the day on which the Holder delivers to the Issuer settlement instructions pursuant to sub-clause (i) above. The Holder at the Conversion Time in connection with a Public Company Event pursuant to Section 4(b) shall be treated for all purposes as the beneficial owner of such Conversion Securities as of such Conversion Time. From and after the time at which the Conversion Securities are delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this Note shall be deemed to be satisfied by the Issuer and shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever (other than the Surviving Provisions).

(c) deSPAC and Change of Control Transaction Conversion. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with the conversion upon a Public Company Event that constitutes a deSPAC Transaction or any Change of Control Event, the Issuer shall cause the conversion to occur in a manner such that the Holder shall receive Common Equity of the Issuer entitled to receive consideration in the deSPAC Transaction or Change of Control Event pursuant to the definitive agreement for the applicable deSPAC Transaction or Change of Control Event, as the case may be. The Holder agrees that no share certificate shall be required to be issued in connection with the conversion into Common Equity of the Issuer in connection with the deSPAC Transaction or a Change of Control Event if the Conversion Securities shall be exchanged for consideration in connection with the deSPAC Transaction or the Change of Control Event.

(d) Delays. Without limiting any of the foregoing, if (1) the Note converts into Conversion Securities pursuant to the terms of this Note, and (2) the Holder fails promptly to (i) deliver instructions for delivery of the Conversion Securities and (ii) surrender this Note to the Issuer (or in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the Conversion Time, then the Issuer will still be deemed to have converted this Note at such Conversion Time and shall hold, for the benefit of the Holder, the Conversion Securities or any other securities issued in exchange for, or upon conversion of, such Conversion Securities until the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of the requisite delivery instructions and the Note (or indemnification in accordance with this Section 7).

(e) Non-Qualified Public Company Event. In the event of a Non-Qualified Public Company Event, the Requisite Holders shall provide notice to the Issuer of their election to convert in connection with such Non-Qualified Public Company Event (the “Conversion Election Notice”) at or prior to the Close of Business on the later of (i) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Public Company Event and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date of the Public Company Event Notice.

 

15


SECTION 8. REDEMPTION PROCEDURES. In the event of a Non-Qualified Public Company Event in which the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver a Conversion Election Notice in accordance with Section 7(e), following the consummation of such Non-Qualified Public Company Event, but on or prior to the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after the consummation of the Non-Qualified Public Company Event, the Issuer may exercise its option (the “Non-Conversion Redemption Option”), in its sole discretion, to redeem this Note in full. In order to exercise the Non-Conversion Redemption Option, the Issuer shall select the date that such optional redemption shall occur, which shall in no event be more than thirty (30) Business Days following the consummation of the Non-Qualified Public Company Event (the “Redemption Date”), and deliver written notice of such Non-Conversion Redemption Option, and the related Redemption Date, to the Holder not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. In connection with a redemption of this Note pursuant to the Non-Conversion Redemption Option, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Issuer (or in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer) and provide wire instructions to the Issuer for such payment no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date; provided that failure to timely surrender this Note shall toll but not release the Issuer of its obligations hereunder, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no interest shall accrue on this Note after the Redemption Date. On the later of Redemption Date and the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Holder provides wire instructions to the Issuer and the Note (or indemnification in accordance with this Section 8), the Issuer shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the Note Obligations Amount as of the Redemption Date in cash. Upon satisfaction of the Issuer’s redemption obligations, this Note shall be deemed to be satisfied by the Issuer and shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever (other than the Surviving Provisions).

SECTION 9. SUBSEQUENT FINANCING.

(a) General. Prior to the consummation of a Public Company Event, unless this Note has been previously converted, redeemed, exchanged or repaid, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exchange (a “Subsequent Financing Exchange”) all or any part of this Note (based on the applicable Note Obligations Amount) for equity or convertible debt securities (each a “New Security” and collectively, the “New Securities”) offered by the Issuer (or any Successor Issuer) in any equity or convertible debt financing transaction (a “Subsequent Financing”) at a price per New Security equal to: (i) with respect to an equity financing: the product of (A) the lowest price paid per New Security by the investors in connection with such Subsequent Financing (after giving effect to any original issue discount or other fees and discounts applicable to any other investor) multiplied by (B) the Discount Rate; and (ii) with respect to a convertible debt financing, the product of (A) the lowest price paid per New Security by the investors in connection with such Subsequent Financing (after giving effect to any original issue discount or other fees and discounts applicable to any other investor) multiplied by (B) the applicable Exchange Discount Rate.

 

16


(b) Exchange Procedures. The Issuer shall deliver a written notice (the “Issuer Subsequent Financing Notice”) to the Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated closing of a Subsequent Financing (which shall be determined in good faith by the Issuer), which Issuer Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe the terms of such Subsequent Financing and such New Securities in reasonable detail, including the price for such New Securities and the anticipated initial closing date of such Subsequent Financing. To effect a Subsequent Financing Exchange, the Holder shall promptly, and no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after receipt of the Issuer Subsequent Financing Notice deliver a written notice to the Issuer specifying the amount of the Note Obligations Amount to be exchanged pursuant to a Subsequent Financing Exchange. In addition, the Holder shall promptly, on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the anticipated closing date set forth in the Issuer Subsequent Financing Notice surrender this Note to be exchanged to the Issuer (or, in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer). Upon a Subsequent Financing Exchange of this Note, the Issuer shall deliver, subject to Section 9(c), the New Securities to the Holder at the closing of such Subsequent Financing. From and after the time at which the New Securities are delivered to the Holder in accordance with this Section 9(b), the amount of the Note Obligations Amount exchanged into New Securities shall be deemed to be satisfied by the Issuer and shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. If the amount so exchanged is less than the full Note Obligations Amount under this Note, then the Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Note after giving effect to such Subsequent Financing Exchange. If the amount so exchanged is equal to the full Note Obligations Amount under this Note, this Note shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever (other than the Surviving Provisions).

(c) Delays. Without limiting any of the foregoing, if the Holder delivers a written notice to the Issuer specifying the amount of the Note Obligations Amount to be exchanged pursuant to a Subsequent Financing Exchange, but fails to surrender this Note to the Issuer (or in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately preceding the anticipated closing date set forth in Issuer Subsequent Financing Notice, the Issuer will still be deemed to have exchanged a portion of this Note representing the amount of the Note Obligations Amount specified in the Holder’s written notice at such closing date and shall hold, for the benefit of the Holder, the New Securities or any other securities issued in exchange for, or upon conversion of, such New Securities, as well as any new Note representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note not being exchanged, until receipt of the Note (or indemnification in accordance with this Section 9).

 

17


SECTION 10. MATURITY CONVERSION.

(a) General. At any time following the date that is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date but prior to the date that is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the “Maturity Date Window”), the Requisite Holders may elect to convert all or a portion of the aggregate Note Obligations Amount of the then-outstanding Notes into a number of shares of Last Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities at a conversion price equal to the Maturity Conversion Price (such conversion, a “Maturity Conversion”).

(b) Conversion Procedures. To effect a Maturity Conversion of the Notes, the Requisite Holders shall promptly deliver a Conversion Election to the Issuer and to all Holders during the Maturity Date Window specifying the portion of the Notes to be so converted. Upon receipt of such Conversion Election from the Requisite Holders, the Holder shall promptly (and no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date) surrender the Notes to be converted to the Issuer (or in the case of the loss, theft or destruction of this Note, provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note that is reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer). Upon a Maturity Conversion of this Note (in whole or in part), the Issuer shall deliver the Last Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities to the Holder at the Conversion Time. Any Maturity Conversion shall be pro rata among the Notes outstanding as of the Maturity Date. From and after the time at which the Last Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities are delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of the Notes converted into Last Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities shall be deemed to be satisfied by the Issuer and shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. If the amount so converted is equal to the full Note Obligations Amount under this Note, this Note shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever (other than the Surviving Provisions).

(c) Intervening Public Company Event or Change of Control. Notwithstanding Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), (i) if a Public Company Event or Change of Control Event occurs during the six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, then, subject to Section 4(b)(ii)(3), the provisions in Section 4 and Section 5 shall apply with respect to such Public Company Event or Change of Control Event, as applicable (including any applicable conversion right of the Holder or redemption right of the Issuer) and the provisions in Section 10(a) and Section 10(b) shall not apply with respect to this Note and (ii) if a Non-Qualified Public Company Event shall have occurred prior to any Maturity Conversion of this Note (in whole or in part) and the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver a conversion election as set forth in Section 7(e) and the Issuer has not exercised the Non-Conversion Redemption Option in accordance with Section 8, with respect to any election by the Requisite Holders to exercise a Maturity Conversion of this Note (in whole or in part) in accordance with Section 10(a) occurring thereafter, the Last Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities shall be the Common Equity of the Issuer and the Last Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities Price Per Share shall be equal to the VWAP per share of the Conversion Securities on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

 

18


(d) Certain Agreements. Following any Maturity Conversion and solely with respect to the Conversion Securities issued thereupon (and the shares of Common Equity of the Issuer, if any, issued upon conversion of such Conversion Securities), the Holder shall, if the Issuer so requests in writing and to the extent such agreement is still effective as of the date of exercise, become a party as an “Investor” to, by execution and delivery to the Issuer of a counterpart signature page, joinder agreement, instrument of accession or similar instrument as designated by the Issuer, (i) the Co-Sale Agreement, (ii) the Voting Agreement and (iii) the Rights Agreement, if the Holder is not already an “Investor” under such agreements.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder acknowledges and agrees that any Conversion Election by the Requisite Holders will be deemed to be an election by the Holder to convert all or a portion of this Note pursuant to this Section 10. Any Conversion Election shall not be revocable by any Holder without the written consent of each of the Issuer and the Requisite Holders.

SECTION 11. MATURITY DATE. This Note will mature, upon demand by the Requisite Holders, on the Maturity Date, unless earlier converted, redeemed, exchanged or repaid pursuant to and in accordance with this Note.

SECTION 12. RANKING AND PRIORITY; INCURRENCE.

(a) This Note shall rank pari passu with all other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided for in this Note, the payment of all or any portion of the obligations under this Note shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Notes.

(b) This Note will be senior indebtedness of the Issuer, ranking equally in right of payment with any present and future senior indebtedness (including the other Notes) and ranking senior in right of payment to any present and future subordinated indebtedness and to any present or future equity securities or other interests in the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees this Note shall rank junior in right of payment to any and all Permitted Debt (as defined below).

(c) Unless otherwise consented to by the Requisite Holders, the Issuer shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, incur, create or assume, or take any action or allow any circumstance to exist that results in the incurrence, creation or assumption of, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in excess of $3,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (“Permitted Debt”), unless the Notes rank (whether by their terms or pursuant to a customary guaranty by a Subsidiary) pari passu solely with respect to any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money incurred, created or assumed by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries in excess of

 

19


the Permitted Debt (such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in excess of the Permitted Debt, the “Excess Debt”). In connection with any Excess Debt, the Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver any and all customary agreements, documents and other instruments necessary to effect the intent of this Section 12(c), including any guaranty agreements, intercreditor agreements, subordination agreements or similar agreements or instruments (“Required Agreements”), in each case, which shall be in reasonable and customary form. In connection with any Required Agreements, the Holder hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver such Required Agreements, if and when requested by the Issuer.

SECTION 13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall be an “Event of Default” with respect to this Note:

(a) The Issuer fails to pay any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance or other amount due hereunder when due, whether on the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date or otherwise.

(b) The Issuer fails to deliver Conversion Securities as required and such failure continues for three (3) Trading Days following the date such delivery was required.

(c) Ten (10) Business Days following the date the Issuer receives written notice from the Requisite Holders of the Issuer’s material default on its financial reporting obligations under Section 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement, if such material default remains uncured as of the Close of Business on such tenth (10th) Business Day.

(d) The Issuer shall default under any agreement(s) or instrument(s) governing any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $750,000,000, whether such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money now exists or is created after the Issuance Date, which default (A) (i) remains uncured for ninety (90) days, and (ii) after giving effect to any applicable grace period, permits the holder or holders of such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, or a trustee or other representative on its or their behalf (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both), to cause such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money to become due prior to its stated maturity or become subject to a mandatory offer purchase by the obligor, or (B) has resulted in the acceleration of such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.

(e) The Issuer, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Debtor Relief Law:

(i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking an arrangement of debt, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or relief under applicable Debtor Relief Laws;

 

20


(iii) consents to the appointment of a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

(f) A court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Debtor Relief Law (which order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for sixty (60) consecutive calendar days) that:

(i) is for relief against the Issuer in a proceeding in which the Issuer is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(ii) appoints a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer; or

(iii) orders the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer.

The Issuer covenants and agrees to provide notice to the Holders of the occurrence of any Event of Default promptly after becoming aware of any such occurrence.

SECTION 14. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been timely cured as provided herein:

(a) Acceleration of Note. In the case of an Event of Default of the type specified in Section 13(e) and Section 13(f), the outstanding Note Obligations Amount as of the applicable date will become immediately due and payable, without any further notice and without any presentment, demand, or protest of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Issuer. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Requisite Holders may declare the outstanding Note Obligations Amount as of the applicable date, with respect to all Notes to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable.

(b) Waiver of Default. The Requisite Holders may (and upon execution of an instrument or instruments in writing by the Requisite Holders, the Holder shall be deemed to) rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Event of Default; provided that an Event of Default of the type specified in Section 13(e) and Section 13(f) may only be waived and any acceleration with respect thereto only rescinded in respect of this Note by the Holder. In such event, the Holder and the Issuer will be restored to their respective former positions, rights and obligations hereunder. Any Event of Default so waived will be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right of the Holder consequent thereon.

 

21


SECTION 15. AUTHORIZED SHARES. So long as this Note is outstanding, the Issuer shall, as of at or immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Time, take all action reasonably necessary, including amending the Issuer’s governing documents to authorize and reserve the requisite number of shares of Conversion Securities, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such that the number of shares of Conversion Securities shall be duly and validly authorized, reserved (to the extent applicable) and available for issuance at the time of the conversion of this Note and the other Notes, as applicable, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Note and the other Notes, as applicable, the Conversion Securities will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under the Issuer’s governing and stockholder documents, “lock-up” or similar agreements (including as set forth in Section 4(c)), applicable federal and state securities laws or liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Holder.

SECTION 16. NO VOTING OR OTHER RIGHTS. This Note does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Issuer unless and until (and only to the extent that) this Note is actually converted into shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock in accordance with its terms (and in such case, only such rights as are applicable to such shares of the Issuer’s Capital Stock). In the absence of conversion of this Note into Conversion Securities, no provisions of this Note and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder shall cause the Holder to be a stockholder of the Issuer for any purpose.

SECTION 17. AMENDMENTS. This Note, and any of the terms and provisions hereof, may be amended, waived or modified only in accordance with Section 7.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 18. TRANSFERS.

(a) This Note may not be directly or indirectly offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the Issuer’s consent, which the Issuer shall be entitled to withhold in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that no such consent shall be required in the case of an Affiliate Transfer (as defined below). Any offer, sale, assignment or other transfer of this Note in contravention of the provisions of this Section 18 shall be deemed to be null and void ab initio.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, no change in the identity of the partners, members or stockholders of the Holder shall constitute an indirect sale or transfer of this Note so long as there is no change of control of such Holder or the same Person or an Affiliate of such Person continues to maintain ultimate investment control, discretion or management over the Holder.

(c) In connection with any assignment or transfer of this Note (in whole or in part), the transferee shall agree to be bound by, and shall become party to, the Purchase Agreement by execution of a counterpart signature page thereto. Any offer, sale, assignment or other transfer of this Note is also subject to the restrictive legends of this Note.

 

22


(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Holder may transfer this Note in whole or in part to (i) an Affiliate, or (ii) an affiliated investment fund or vehicle that is under common control with the Holder, in each case, so long as (A) such Person is not a Restricted Entity (as defined in the Rights Agreement) and (B) such Person is a U.S. Person (such transfer an “Affiliate Transfer”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Holder may only transfer this Note to a U.S. Person.

(f) The Issuer shall maintain and keep updated a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names, email addresses and mailing addresses of the Holder of each Note and the Outstanding Principal Balance of such Note (and any accrued interest) (the “Registered Notes”). The initial email address and mailing address for the Holder of this Note shall be the email address and mailing address set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto and may be updated, from time to time, by written notice to the Issuer, in accordance with Section 22. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Issuer and the Holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the applicable Note for all purposes, including the right to receive payments hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Issuer shall provide to the Holder a copy of the portion of the Register related to the Holder and this Note and backup calculations for the values relating to this Note set forth in the Register. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part, to the extent explicitly permitted by this Section 18 and any other terms hereof, only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a satisfactory request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the Holder of the applicable Registered Note and the physical surrender of such applicable Registered Note to the Issuer, the Issuer shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes, the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of which is the same as the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the surrendered Registered Note, to the Transferee pursuant to Section 19. The provisions of this Section 18(f) are intended to cause the Note to be in “registered form” as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) and proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (and any successor sections) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.

(g) Without in any way limiting the transfer restrictions set forth elsewhere in this Section 18, the Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Notes unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Issuer to be bound by all of the applicable terms of this Note and the Purchase Agreement. Except with respect to transfers of Common Equity in connection with a deSPAC Transaction or Change of Control Event, before any proposed offer, sale, assignment or transfer of any Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Act covering the proposed transaction or, following the IPO (as defined in the Rights Agreement), the transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Issuer of such

 

23


Holder’s intention to effect such offer, sale, assignment or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed offer, sale, assignment or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Issuer, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Act, (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed offer, sale, assignment or transfer of such Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Issuer to the effect that the proposed offer, sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be effected without registration under the Act, whereupon the Holder of such Securities shall be entitled to offer, sell, assign or transfer such Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Issuer. The Issuer will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided, that, other than in connection with a transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144 following the IPO, each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 18(g). Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with the applicable restrictive legends set forth in Section 5.15 of the Purchase Agreement, except that such certificate instrument or book entry shall not be notated with the specific capitalized legend set forth in in Section 5.15(a) of the Purchase Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Issuer, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Act.

(h) In addition, each Holder agrees that, except as otherwise permitted under the Rights Agreement, Voting Agreement and Co-Sale Agreement (but subject to the limitations on transfer and other applicable provisions set forth in the Rights Agreement, Voting Agreement and Co-Sale Agreement) (as if the Securities were shares of Preferred Stock or Registrable Securities (as defined therein)), prior to the IPO, no Securities may be transferred to (x) any Restricted Entity or (y) any customer, distributor or supplier of the Issuer (or any Subsidiary), if the Board of Directors of the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that such transfer would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving Information that would place the Issuer (or any Subsidiary) at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier.

SECTION 19. REISSUANCE OF THE NOTE.

(a) Transfer Procedures. If this Note is to be transferred as permitted under this Note, in whole or in part, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Issuer, whereupon the Issuer will issue and deliver a new Note to the Transferee (in accordance with Section 19(d)), representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note held by the Holder is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) to the Holder, representing the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance not being transferred (each, a “Replacement Note” and collectively, the “Replacement Notes”). The Holder and the Transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 19(d), following conversion, redemption or repayment of any portion of this Note, the Outstanding Principal Balance represented by this Note may be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance stated on the face of this Note.

(b) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Issuer, for one or more Replacement Notes representing in the aggregate the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note in accordance with Section 19(d). Each such Replacement Note will represent such portion of such Outstanding Principal Balance as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender. The Original Principal Amount of this Note shall be allocated pro rata among such Replacement Notes based on the Outstanding Principal Balance of the surrendered Note.

(c) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Issuer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Issuer in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Holder a Replacement Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)), representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of the surrendered Note.

 

25


(d) Issuance of Replacement Notes. Whenever the Issuer is required to issue a Replacement Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such Replacement Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (or, in the case of a Replacement Note being issued pursuant to Section 19(a) or Section 19(b), the Outstanding Principal Balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance represented by the other Replacement Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of Replacement Notes), (iii) shall be deemed to have an Original Principal Amount calculated in accordance with Section 19(b), (iv) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such Replacement Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (v) shall be deemed to have accrued its proportional share of the interest under this Note from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Due Date, (vi) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note and (vii) shall be timely prepared and issued by the Issuer, but in no event shall the Issuer issue such Replacement Note more than five (5) Business Days after surrender of this Note or the receipt of the evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer pursuant to Section 19(c), as the case may be.

SECTION 20. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES. The Holder shall not by any act or omission be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies under this Note unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Holder (or deemed effective pursuant to the election of the Requisite Holders as set forth in this Note), and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at Law, in equity, in tort or otherwise, including injunctive relief or specific performance. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. If the Requisite Holders disagree with any arithmetic calculations performed or any price determination by the Issuer pursuant to the Notes, the Requisite Holders shall submit to the Issuer their calculations or determinations thereof. If the Requisite Holders and the Issuer are unable to agree upon such calculation or determination within ten (10) Business Days of the submission by the Requisite Holders, then the Issuer shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, submit the disputed arithmetic calculation or price determination to the Issuer’s independent, outside accountant, or if such accountant is unwilling or not permitted to perform such services under applicable Law, an accountant reasonably satisfactory to the parties (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) accounting firms nationally, by revenue). The Issuer shall cause such accountant to perform the calculation or determination and notify the Issuer and the Holder of the results no later than fifteen (15) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed calculation or determination. The Issuer shall pay the costs and expenses of such accountant unless the calculation or determination of such accountant is mathematically closer to the Issuer’s calculation or determination than the calculation or determination

 

26


submitted by the Requisite Holders, in which case, the costs and expenses of such accountant shall be paid by such Requisite Holders (such obligation to such costs and expenses shall be several based on the relative principal amount of Notes held by each Holder). Such calculation or determination shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

SECTION 22. NOTICES AND PAYMENTS.

(a) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and mailed or delivered to each party as follows: (i) if to the Holder, at the Holder’s email address or mailing address set forth in the Register, or (ii) if to the Issuer, at the mailing address or electronic mail address set forth on the Issuer’s signature page to the Purchase Agreement, or at such other mailing or electronic mail address as the Issuer shall have furnished to the Holders in writing from time to time, and a copy (which shall not constitute notice) shall be sent to Latham & Watkins LLP, 555 11th St. NW, Washington, DC 20004, Attention: Mitchell L. Rabinowitz, email: ***@***. All such notices and communications will be deemed sufficient upon delivery, when delivered personally, one (1) Business Day after being deposited with an overnight courier service of recognized standing or upon delivery if sent via electronic mail.

(b) Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Issuer to any Person pursuant to this Note, such payment shall be made in cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Holder shall provide the Issuer with prior written notice setting out the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of any Interest Payment Due Date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. The Holder may request in writing to the Issuer that the Note be issued in a nominee name (“Nominee Name”) for administrative convenience and that payments and deliveries hereunder be made in such Nominee Name, unless otherwise instructed by the Holder in writing; provided that if the Holder does make such a request, the Holder hereby represents that (i) the Note is being issued in the Nominee Name to be held solely for the benefit of the Holder and (ii) the Holder is the legal and beneficial owner of the Note.

(c) All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal or interest, including accrued interest or otherwise) in respect of this Note will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Tax authority unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such amounts paid or delivered by or on behalf of the Issuer to a U.S. Person that has timely provided, on behalf of itself, a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 shall be free and clear of

 

27


and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all Taxes, other than any Taxes imposed under FATCA, unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required as a result of a change in Law after the date hereof; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any forms or other information provided by a transferor or predecessor with respect to a Person shall not satisfy the requirements of this sentence with respect to such Person. In the event that a Tax authority determines that a payment made by the Issuer under a Note to a Person that is not a U.S. Person should have been subject to withholding (or to additional withholding) for Taxes, and the Issuer timely remits such withholding Tax to the Tax authority, the Issuer will have the right to offset such amount (including interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon) against future payment obligations of the Issuer to such Person.

(d) The Issuer will make all withholdings and deductions required by Law and will timely remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax authority in accordance with applicable Law. The Issuer will use its reasonable efforts to obtain Tax receipts from each Tax authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld. The Issuer will furnish to the Holder, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is made, copies of Tax receipts evidencing payment by the Issuer, or if, notwithstanding such entity’s efforts to obtain receipts, receipts are not obtained, other evidence of payments (reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) by such entity.

(e) The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, court or documentary Taxes, or any other property Taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, interest and any other reasonable expenses related thereto) levied on or in connection with the execution, delivery, issuance, registration or enforcement of this Note or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto (other than, in each case, for any Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment by the Holder, or, for the avoidance of doubt, for any Taxes with respect to any income Tax due by the Holder with respect to such Notes or as a result of conversion).

(f) The above obligations will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Note, any transfer by the Holder of the Note, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer is incorporated or organized, engaged in business for Tax purposes or resident for Tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Person in respect of any of the Notes and any department or political subdivision thereof or therein.

SECTION 23. WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by Law, unless otherwise provided herein, the Issuer hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note.

 

28


SECTION 24. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each of the Holder and the Issuer shall take such further actions as are necessary to carry out the intent or the purposes of this Note (including executing and delivering further agreements, instruments and documents, including in connection with any Public Company Event, Change of Control Event or Maturity Conversion) as the other party may reasonably request in order to consummate, complete and carry out the actions or transactions contemplated hereby and the intent of the parties hereunder.

SECTION 25. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND SEVERABILITY. This Note shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of Delaware or of any other state that would result in the application of the laws of a state other than the State of Delaware. The Issuer hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Wilmington, Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby 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 brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.

SECTION 26. ASSIGNMENT BY ISSUER. Except as permitted under this Note, including in connection with an Internal Reorganization Transaction, the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may not be assigned or delegated, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Issuer without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders.

SECTION 27. INTERPRETATION. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Issuer and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. In this Note, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all words and personal pronouns relating thereto shall be read and construed as the number and gender of the party or parties required and the verb shall be read and construed as agreeing with the required word and pronoun; the division of this Note into Sections, clauses and sub-clauses and the use of headings and captions is for convenience of reference only and shall not modify or affect the interpretation or construction of this Note or any of its provisions; the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” “hereinafter” and “hereto” and words of similar import refer to this Note as a whole and not to any particular Section, clause or sub-clause hereof; the words “include,” “including,” and derivations thereof shall be deemed to have the phrase “without limitation” attached thereto unless otherwise expressly stated; references to a specified Section, clause or sub-clause shall be construed as a reference to that specified Section, clause or sub-clause of this Note; and all references to “$” or “dollars” shall be deemed references to United States dollars.
