2.2 Such Lender represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as indicated by such Lender’s responses to the questions contained in Appendix B attached hereto, and that such Lender is able to bear the economic risk of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the Company of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party may exist with respect to such Claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense and settlement of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an indemnifying party's ability to defend such action. If such defense is assumed, the indemnified party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnifying party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement notwithstanding, the indemnifying party will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified hereunder with respect to such Claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnified party may engage its own counsel at its own sole cost and expense. All fees and expenses of counsel to any indemnified party required to be paid by the indemnifying party shall be paid as incurred.
12 |
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and will survive the transfer of Warrants and Warrant Shares by any Lender. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by any Lender exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by such Lender from the sale of Warrants and Warrant Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.

ii. the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in this Promissory Note, which failure is not cured, (x) if possible to cure, within the earlier to occur of (A) five (5) Trading Days after notice of such failure sent by the Holder to the Company and (B) ten (10) Trading Days after the Company has become or should have become aware of such failure, and (y) if not subject to cure, without regard to any cure period;
iii. a default or event of default (subject to any grace or cure period provided in the applicable agreement, document or instrument) shall occur under the Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
iv. any material representation or material warranty made in this Promissory Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any written statement pursuant hereto or thereto or any other report, financial statement or certificate made or delivered to the Holder shall be untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of the date when made or deemed made; or
v. the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X) shall be subject to a Bankruptcy Event.
A-7 |
vi. a default or violation or event of default shall occur under the Consent Decree (subject to any grace or cure period provided in the Consent Decree);
b) Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Promissory Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts owing in respect thereof, shall become immediately due and payable. In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of this Promissory Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 5(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Without limitation to the foregoing, if the Event of Default shall be a failure of the Company to repay this Promissory Note in full on the scheduled Maturity Date, then following such Event of Default, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, voluntarily surrender any material portion of the FCC wireless licenses it then holds to the FCC.

b) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Promissory Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, liquidated damages and accrued interest, as applicable, on this Promissory Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Promissory Note is a direct debt obligation of the Company.
c) Lost or Mutilated Promissory Note.

This Promissory Note and all issues arising out of this Promissory Note will be governed by and construed solely and exclusively under and pursuant to the laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements among New York residents entered into and to be performed entirely within New York. Each of the parties hereto expressly and irrevocably: (1) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Promissory Note will be instituted exclusively in New York State Supreme Court, County of New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “New York Courts”); (2) waives any objection which Company may have now or hereafter to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding; and (3) consents to the jurisdiction of either the New York State Supreme Court, County of New York, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the parties hereto further agrees to accept and acknowledge service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in the New York State Supreme Court, County of New York, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and agree that service of process upon it mailed by certified mail to its address will be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it, in any such suit, action or proceeding.

THE PARTY PREVAILING THEREIN SHALL BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT FROM THE OTHER PARTY HERETO OF ALL OF ITS REASONABLE COUNSEL FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS.
A-9 |
e) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder (in the case of more than one Holder, then the Holders of a majority of the principal amounts of the Promissory Notes then outstanding) of a breach of any provision of this Promissory Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Promissory Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Promissory Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Promissory Note. Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

If any provision of this Promissory Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Promissory Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Promissory Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.
g) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of accrued interest, if applicable.
h) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Promissory Note and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
A-10 |
i) Assumption. Any successor to the Company or any surviving entity in a consolidation or merger involving the Company shall (i) assume, prior to such consolidation, merger or other transaction, all of the obligations of the Company under this Promissory Note and the Loan Agreement pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) issue to the Holder a new Promissory Note of such successor entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Promissory Note, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amount and the interest rate of this Promissory Note and having similar ranking to this Promissory Note, which shall be satisfactory to the Holder (any such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The provisions of this Section 6(i) shall apply similarly and equally to successive consolidations or mergers and shall be applied without regard to any limitations of this Promissory Note.
j) Amendment. This Promissory Note shall not be changed, modified or amended except by a writing signed by the Company and the Holder that identifies itself as an amendment to this Promissory Note. To the extent there is more than one Holder as provided for herein, then all provisions set forth in this Promissory Note requiring the consent of the Holder, shall mean consent of the Holders of a majority of the principal amounts of the Promissory Notes then outstanding.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANT, THIS WARRANT SHALL BE VOID AFTER 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON DECEMBER 31, 2018.
No. __________ | Original Issue Date: __________, 2017 |
STRAIGHT PATH COMMUNICATIONS INC.
FORM OF WARRANT TO PURCHASE CLASS B COMMON STOCK
For VALUE RECEIVED, [INVESTOR] or [his/her/its] registered assigns (“Warrantholder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from Straight Path Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at any time not later than 5:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), at an exercise price per share equal to $[EXERCISE PRICE – BASED ON THE 5 OR 10-DAY VWAP PRIOR TO RELEVANT ISSUE DATE] (subject to appropriate adjustment pursuant to Section 8) (the exercise price in effect being herein called the “Warrant Price”), up to [NUMBER] (“Warrant Shares”) of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Stock”). The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein. This Warrant was originally issued on the Original Issue Date specified in the caption above. The “Expiration Date” is the earlier of (i) 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on December 31, 2018, and (ii) the consummation of a Liquidation Event (to the extent this Warrant is not exercised in connection with such Liquidation Event, and subject to the Company’s compliance with its obligations under Section 3(e) hereof). If the Warrant is exercised following the Warrantholder’s receipt of written notice of a Liquidation Event in accordance with Section 3(e) hereof, the Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such Liquidation Event. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Liquidation Event” means (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of stock for capital raising purposes) other than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions continue to hold, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions, at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary immediately following such acquisition, its parent); (ii) a sale, lease or other disposition by the Company and/or its subsidiaries of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole by means of any arms-length transaction or series of related transactions, with an unrelated third-party; or (iii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.
B-2 |
Section 1. Registration. The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.
This Warrant was originally issued in connection with a secured loan made to the Company pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2017 (the “Loan Agreement”), and the related promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) issued to the initial holder of this Warrant (or the Warrant in respect of which this Warrant was issued), as a Lender under the Loan Agreement (the “Lender”), of even date therewith. Exercise of this Warrant by such Lender will impact the amount owing under such Promissory Note and this Warrant will remain linked to such Promissory Note in such regard. Accordingly, the register of warrants to be maintained by the Company will note whether this Warrant and any replacement warrants issued in connection herewith remain associated with such Lender and the Promissory Note.
Section 2. Transfers. As provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or an exemption from such registration. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, including, if required by the Company, an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company.
In addition, this Warrant (and any shares issued upon exercise hereof) shall not be transferable until the earlier of (i) the date that is sixty (60) days following the issuance hereof, and (ii) consummation of a Liquidation Event.
B-3 |
Section 3. Exercise of Warrant; Acceleration; Notice of Certain Events; Registration Rights.
(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time as set forth herein prior to its expiration (x) if required, as provided below, upon surrender of the Warrant, together with (y) delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A (the "Exercise Agreement"), the delivery of which Exercise Agreement may be made by hand, mail, courier, fax or email to the Company’s notice address provided below, and, (z) payment of the aggregate Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder), by (A) reduction of the amount of principal and interest outstanding under the Promissory Note, if this Warrant is exercised by the Lender and any such amounts remain outstanding under the Promissory Note at the time of such exercise, or (B) by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds, if this Warrant is exercised by a Warrantholder that is not the Lender, or if exercised by the Lender when no amounts remain outstanding under the Promissory Note. The conditions of clauses (x), (y) and (z) of the immediately preceding sentence, each to the extent relevant to a particular exercise are referred to as the “Exercise Conditions.” The Exercise Agreement shall indicate the number and type of Warrant Shares then being purchased pursuant to such exercise and the manner of payment of the Warrant Price. The date on which all of the Exercise Conditions, to the extent applicable, have been satisfied is the “Exercise Date.” Any exercise of this Warrant shall be for not less than 100 Warrant Shares, or such lesser amount as may then remain unexercised. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder or the Warrantholder's designee, as the record owner of such Warrant Shares, as of the close of business on the date on which (x) if required, as provided below, this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company), (y) the Warrant Price shall have been paid and (z) the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered. The Company shall provide certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased (or have such Warrant Shares credited by book entry to an account designated by such Warrantholder), representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, to be delivered to the Warrantholder as provided below in this Section 3. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Warrantholder and shall be registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated by the Warrantholder. If the exercise referred to in an Exercise Agreement represents the full exercise of the outstanding balance of the Warrant, the Warrantholder shall tender this Warrant Certificate to the Company within five (5) Trading Days thereafter. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Warrantholder shall tender this Warrant to the Company (which tender shall be deemed to apply only to the portion of the Warrant exercised to the date of such tender and not to the entire Warrant), then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, within two business days of such tender, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant of the same tenor (including, but not limited to, reference to the Original Issue Date specified in the caption of this Warrant) representing the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised; provided, however, that even before the Warrantholder receives such replacement Warrant, the Warrantholder may nevertheless exercise, in whole or in part and from time to time, the remaining portion of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, and, in the case of a full exercise of the balance of this Warrant, any obligation to deliver the Warrant Certificate to the Company shall be deemed satisfied. As used herein, "business day" means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business.
B-4 |
(b) For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms have the meanings indicated:
“Trading Day” means any day during which the Principal Trading Market shall be open for business.
“Principal Trading Market” means the Trading Market (as that term is defined in the Promissory Note) on which the Class B Stock is principally traded at the relevant time.
(c) Upon the appropriate payment, if any, of the Warrant Price for the Warrant Shares purchased, together with the surrender of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased or to have such Warrant Shares credited by book entry to an account designated by the Warrantholder. The Company shall deliver such certificates representing the Warrant Shares, or credit such Warrant Shares by book entry, in accordance with the instructions of the Warrantholder as provided in the Exercise Agreement (such certificates or such credit by book entry, referred to herein as the “Warrant Share Certificates”) within three (3) Trading Days (such third Trading Day, a “Share Delivery Date”) of the Exercise Date. If by the second (2nd) Trading Day after a Share Delivery Date the Company fails to deliver or cause to be delivered the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was then exercised as instructed by the Warrantholder, and if after such second (2nd) Trading Day, the Warrantholder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Class B Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Warrantholder of the Warrant Shares which the Warrantholder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly honor its obligation to deliver Warrant Share Certificates representing such Warrant Shares as previously instructed by the Warrantholder and shall pay cash to the Warrantholder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the aggregate price paid by the Warrantholder for the Buy-In over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares, multiplied by (B) the closing price per share of the Class B Stock as quoted by the Principal Trading Market on the Exercise Date.
(d) The Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 on the Exercise Date.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the consummation of any Liquidation Event, the Company must provide the Warrantholder with at least fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice of the consummation of such Liquidation Event, which notice shall explain in reasonable detail why such event constitutes a Liquidation Event for purposes of this Warrant and whether the Company is requiring the Warrantholder to (i) elect to exercise the Warrant in full or (ii) if the Warrantholder elects to not have the Warrant so exercised, have the Warrant expire and be cancelled. If the Warrantholder elects to exercise this Warrant by written notice to the Company within five (5) business days of receipt of the Company’s notice, then such exercise shall be deemed to have taken place immediately prior to the Liquidation Event and the Warrant Shares issuable in connection with such exercise shall for all purposes be deemed issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Liquidation Event.
B-5 |
Section 4. Compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. So long as is required by applicable securities laws, the Company may cause the first paragraph legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant (beginning with the phrase “The Securities represented hereby ...”) to be set forth on each Warrant.
Section 5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Warrantholder in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid. The Warrantholder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due.
Section 6. Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor (including, but not limited to, reference to the Original Issue Date specified in the caption of this Warrant) and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if requested by the Company.
Section 7. Reservation of Class B Stock. The Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved and available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrant, out of the authorized and unissued shares of its Class B Stock, such number of shares of Class B Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company has a transfer agent for its shares of Class B Stock, the Company will provide irrevocable written instructions to such transfer agent to reserve the number of shares contemplated to be reserved pursuant to and for the purposes of contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class B Stock of the Company.
B-6 |
Section 8. Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, unless waived in a particular case by the Warrantholder, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.
(a) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Class B Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Class B Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Class B Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Class B Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares composed of such Class B Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective, shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class B Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event upon payment of a Warrant Price that has been adjusted to reflect a fair allocation of the economics of such event to the Warrantholder. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company that does not constitute a Liquidation Event shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to then, following such reorganization or reclassification, the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such reorganization or reclassification if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 8 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.
(c) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Class B Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.
B-7 |
Section 9. Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fractional share of Class B Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of such fractional share of Class B Stock on the date of exercise. The term “Market Price” shall mean the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the shares of Class B Stock are then listed or quoted on an Eligible Market or any other national securities exchange, the closing bid price per share of Class B Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on an Eligible Market or exchange on which the shares of Class B Stock are then listed or quoted; (b) if prices for the shares of Class B Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Class B Stock so reported; or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Class B Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Warrantholder. The term “Eligible Market” used herein means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the shares of Class B Stock are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the OTC Bulletin Board, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Arca, the NYSE MKT, or the OTCQX Marketplace or the OTCQB Marketplace operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or any successor to any of the foregoing).
Section 10. Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.
Section 11. Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment.
B-8 |
Section 12. Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Warrant shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telex or facsimile or email, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one business day after delivery to such carrier. All notices shall be addressed as follows (or at such other address as the Warrantholder or the Company may designate by ten days' advance written notice to the other):
If to the Warrantholder:
Warrantholder’s address as set forth in the Company's books and records
If to the Company:

Attention: Dave Breau, General Counsel
Section 13. Successors. All the covenants and provisions hereof by or for the benefit of the Warrantholder shall bind and inure to the benefit of its respective successors and assigns hereunder.
Section 14. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Warrant. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Warrantholder, each irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE WARRANTHOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS WARRANT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.
Section 15. No Rights as Stockholder. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall not have or exercise any rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of its ownership of this Warrant.
Section 16. Amendment; Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived upon the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder.
Section 17. Section Headings. The section headings in this Warrant are for the convenience of the Company and the Warrantholder and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the provisions hereof.

EXHIBIT D
[Opinion of Company Counsel]
[Note: Opinion of company counsel should include opinion language to the effect of the following:
(1) Each Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, in the State of Delaware.
(2) Each of the Loan Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement and the Initial Warrants constitutes, and the Additional Warrants when issued will constitute, the valid and legally binding obligation of the applicable Company, enforceable against the applicable Company in accordance with its terms.
(3) The execution, delivery and consummation at Closing and the performance by each Company of the Transaction Documents and the Additional Warrants to which it is a party and the repayment of the Notes will not violate any law or regulation generally applicable to transactions of this nature (“Applicable Law”), applicable to such Company.
(4) No consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or other action by, any governmental authority or, to our knowledge, any other Person is required on the part of any Company under Applicable Law as a condition precedent to the valid execution, delivery of and performance and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents and the Additional Warrants.
(5) No Company is an “investment company” regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or, to our knowledge, controlled by such a company.
(6) A security interest has attached under the Security Agreement and IP Security Agreement under New York law.
(7) Each Financing Statement is in appropriate form for filing in the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office. Assuming the due and continual filing of the each Financing Statement in the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office, each Financing Statement has perfected the security interest in favor of Collateral Agent, as the collateral agent for the Lenders, in so much of the Collateral described in both (i) the applicable Financing Statement and (ii) the Security Agreement or IP Security Agreement, in each case as consists of property of the applicable Company as to which a security interest can be perfected under the Delaware UCC by filing financing statements with the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office.
(8) Based upon the factual representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III of the Loan Agreement and by each of the Lenders in Article II of the Loan Agreement, the offer, issue, sale and delivery of the Notes, the Initial Warrants, the Additional Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants under the circumstances contemplated by the Transaction Documents constitute exempt transactions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and neither the registration thereunder of the Notes, the Initial Warrants, the Additional Warrants and the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants, nor the qualification of an indenture in respect of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required in connection with such offer, issue, sale or delivery.
