| 1 |
| (ii) | The Parties further acknowledge and agree that in connection with the Transactions and the Note Exchange Transactions, the Company expects to complete an offering of Company Common Stock to certain additional investors (the “Offering”). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued and sold in the Offering, when added to the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the Note Exchange Transactions and the Closing herein, will comprise no more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock following the closing of the Offering, the closing of the Note Exchange Transactions and the Closing herein, such that the ending capitalization of the Company at such time shall be comprised of (i) the investors in the Offering and the other shareholders of the Company, holding 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) the DRT Members holding 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (iii) the Noteholders, collectively, holding 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and provided that such 5% number may be adjusted as set forth in the Note Exchange Agreement, in which event the proportion of the shares of Common Stock to be held by the investors in the Offering and the other shareholders of the Company other than the DRT Members and the Noteholders, shall be adjusted from such current 20% number. |
| (iii) | All of the Membership Interests shall be exchanged, collectively, for a number of shares of Company Common Stock which equals 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of the Closing, and including for such purposes the shares of Company Common Stock as issued in the Note Exchange Transactions and the Offering, and otherwise outstanding prior to the Offering (the “Exchange Shares”), which Exchange Shares shall be apportioned between the DRT Members pro rata based on the percentage of the Membership Interests held by the DRT Member as set forth on the Capitalization Table (as defined below). The Exchange Shares shall be issued in book entry form and shall not be certificated. |
| (iv) | By way of example, and not limitation, in the event that, assuming the consummation of the Offering, the investors in the Offering and the other shareholders of the Company held 2,000,000 shares and there are no adjustments to the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be issued to the Noteholders, then: (1) The DRT Members would be issued a total of 7,500,000 shares of Company Common Stock at the Closing; and (2) the Noteholders would be issued, collectively, 500,000 shares of Common Stock at the closing of the Note Exchange Transactions. |
