(iii)    Non-Qualified IPO. In the event of a Non-Qualified IPO, but subject to the closing of such Non-Qualified IPO, if the Requisite Holders timely deliver an IPO Conversion Election as set forth in Section 3(b)(i), the Note Obligations Amount will convert in full on the closing date of such Non-Qualified IPO into a number of IPO Securities equal to (a) the outstanding Note Obligations Amount on such closing date, divided by (b) the applicable IPO Conversion Price.

The Requisite Holders shall be required to make any applicable election (a “Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Election”) to convert the Notes in writing as set forth in clause (i) below, by notice to the Issuer no later than the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Deadline Date (as defined in the definition of “Non- Change of Control Merger Event Notice”). In the event of a Non-Change of Control Merger Event, subject to the closing of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event:

(i)    If, in connection with such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, the common stock of the Issuer is converted into, or exchanged for, in whole or in part, Common Equity of a Public Issuer, then, if the Requisite Holders deliver a Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Election by the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Deadline Date, the Note Obligations Amount will convert in full on the closing date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event (or on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day immediately following such closing date in the event clause (ii) of the definition of Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Price applies) into a number of Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares (and/or cash as determined in the next sentence) equal to the applicable Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Amount. In a Non-Change of Control Merger Event in which common stock of the Issuer is converted into part Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares and part cash, the Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount shall be paid in part cash and part Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares, with the percentage of cash of the Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount being determined on a proportionate basis (ignoring for this purpose any other type of property receivable in connection therewith) determined by comparing the aggregate cash received by holders of common stock of the Issuer to the aggregate value of Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares received by holders of common stock of the Issuer, based on the average VWAP for such Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Equity Shares for each Trading Day during the five (5) Trading Day period ending the day before the Change of Control Effective Date. The remainder of the Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount will be paid in Successor Issuer Traded Shares in accordance with the definition of Non-Change of Control Conversion Amount. In the event information regarding such proposed Non-Change of Control Merger Event has not been widely-disseminated for at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, clause (i) of the definition of Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Price will be used to determine the cash amount on the effective date; provided, however, no later than the 23rd Trading Day following the effective date, the Non-Change of Control Merger

 

6


Conversion Price will be calculated pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Price to determine the number of Successor Issuer Publicly Traded Shares necessary to satisfy the stock portion of the consideration, such that any changes in the VWAP following the effective date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event will be reflected only in the stock portion of the consideration. If the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver a Non-Change of Control Merger Conversion Election:

 

  (A)

if the Successor Issuer is a Qualified Successor Issuer, at the option of the Issuer (in its sole discretion), either (I) the Issuer will prepay the Note Obligations Amount in cash on the closing date of such Non- Change of Control Merger Event (upon which prepayment the Notes will cease to be outstanding), or (II) the Note shall automatically convert into a note with terms of the Nine Year Extension. The Issuer shall provide written notice of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence no later than the closing date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, provided that if the Issuer provides no such notice, the Nine Year Extension shall apply, or

 

  (B)

if the Successor Issuer is not a Qualified Successor Issuer, the Requisite Holders shall be deemed to have made a Par Redemption Election and the Issuer shall be entitled to elect any of the Par Redemption Options (which will be effected in accordance with Section 6(c)); or

(ii)    If, in connection with such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, the Common Stock is converted in whole or in part into, or exchanged for, the Common Equity of a Private Issuer (other than the Issuer), then (1) the Issuer shall ensure that the conversion obligations under the Note will be assumed by such Successor Issuer, (2) the term “Common Stock” as used herein shall, from the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Closing Date, mean the Common Equity into which the Common Stock is so converted or exchanged; and (3) from and after such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, the term “Issuer” when used in the terms “Equity Round”, “Last Qualified Round”, “Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities”, “Lowest Fundraising Round”, “Lowest Fundraising Round”, “Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities” and “Minimum Qualified Fundraising” shall refer to the Successor Issuer with respect to any Equity Rounds of the Successor Issuer occurring after such Non-Change of Control Merger Event; provided that prior to the occurrence of any subsequent Lowest Fundraising Round or Last Qualified Round of the Successor Issuer, the terms of “Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities” and “Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities” shall be deemed to refer to the kind and amount of shares of Capital Stock, other securities or other property or assets that a holder of a share of Lowest Fundraising Round Equivalent Securities or Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities received in such Non-Change of Control Merger Event; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of conversion of the Notes shall be adjusted as may be necessary to preserve the

 

7


economic and financial value of the Notes to the Issuer and the Holders. In such event, the Non-Change of Control Merger Event Notice delivered in connection with such Non-Change of Control Merger Event shall describe such adjustments as may be proposed by the Issuer, which adjustments (and no others) shall be effected unless the Requisite Holders dispute such proposed adjustments by written notice delivered to the Issuer not less than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Non-Change of Control Merger Event, in which case such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Section 18.

(d)    Subsidiary IPO.

(i)    The Issuer shall not, and shall ensure that none of its Subsidiaries shall, conduct a Subsidiary IPO if the Subsidiary whose securities are offered in connection with such Subsidiary IPO owns, directly or directly, all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets or properties (determined on a consolidated basis); provided, however, that such Subsidiary IPO may be conducted upon the written consent of the Requisite Holders (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii)    If the Issuer shall, within three months of any Subsidiary IPO, use the proceeds from such Subsidiary IPO to effect, or enter into any binding arrangement to use such proceeds to effect a redemption of, or any tender or repurchase offer for, any class or series of Preferred Stock (other than redemptions of, or tender or repurchase offers for, Capital Stock not exceeding in the aggregate 1% of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Issuer, and repurchase offers that are not made to all or substantially all holders of particular class or series of Preferred Stock), then the Issuer shall, within fifteen (15) days of such redemption or the consummation of such tender or repurchase offer, provide written notice to the Holders stating (a) the percentage of the total outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Issuer redeemed or repurchased with the proceeds from such Subsidiary IPO, calculated on an as-converted to common stock basis (the “Redemption Percentage”), and the per share (calculated on as-converted to common stock basis) redemption or repurchase price paid in such redemption or repurchase of Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Price”), and (b) the date by which the Holder must make a Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election (as defined below) pursuant to this Section 3(d) (the “Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election Deadline Date”), which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days immediately following such written notice. The Requisite Holders shall have the right to elect (a “Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election”), by written notice to the Issuer no later than the Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election Deadline Date, to require the Issuer to repurchase a portion of the Note Obligations Amount equal to the Redemption Percentage (the “Redemption Amount”) thereof at a purchase price equal to the product of (x) the Redemption Price, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of common stock that would have been issuable upon conversion of the number of Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities equal to the Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities Conversion Amount applicable to a conversion of the Redemption Amount. Any repurchases pursuant to this Section 3(d) shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to Section 6(b), within five (5) Business Days of the Post-Subsidiary IPO Redemption Election Deadline Date.

(i)    No later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the first public filing date of any registration statement for any class or series of the Issuer’s Common Equity (other than in connection with an IPO or a Non-Change of Control Merger Event) in connection with which the Issuer expects to register such Common Equity under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall provide the Holder with a written notice of such filing date (the “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Notice”). The Non-IPO Liquidity Event Notice shall specify the Principal Market or other recognized securities exchange (a “Market”) on which such Common Equity is expected to be listed or admitted for trading, and the anticipated commencement of trading in such Common Equity on such Market (the “First Trading Day”). The date of the anticipated First Trading Day will be determined in good faith by the Issuer.

(ii)    Upon the occurrence of a Non-IPO Liquidity Event, at the option of the Requisite Holders, which shall be exercised by written notice to the Issuer no later than the anticipated First Trading Day (such written notice, a “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Notice”), the outstanding Note Obligations Amount will convert in full on the date that is twenty three (23) Trading Days after the First Trading Day into a number of the applicable class or series of Common Equity equal to (i) the Note Obligations Amount on such conversion date, divided by (ii) the product of (a) the average of the VWAP of such class or series of Common Equity during each Trading Day during the twenty (20) Trading Day period beginning on the First Trading Day (such average, the “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Price”), multiplied by (b) one minus the then applicable Discount Rate.

(iii)    As of the date immediately following the First Trading Date, this Note shall not be subject to any of the redemption, conversion or extension rights set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 herein (which Sections shall be deemed removed from this Note, except if such First Trading Date shall occur after the Initial Maturity Date, this Note shall have a Maturity Date of the next Applicable Maturity Date) if (A) upon the occurrence of a Non-IPO Liquidity Event, the Preferred Stock of the Issuer converts in its entirety to common stock and (B) the Requisite Holders have not timely delivered a Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Notice to the Issuer on or prior to the First Trading Date.

Following delivery of such Change of Control Notice, the Issuer shall provide the Requisite Holders with such information regarding the terms of such Change of Control as they may reasonably request, subject to any restrictions on the Issuer pursuant to any applicable confidentiality agreement.

The Issuer shall provide written notice of its election pursuant to the preceding sentence no later than the closing date of such Change of Control, provided that if the Issuer provides no such notice, the Nine Year Extension shall apply.

(g)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing Sections 5(a) to 5(e), if an IPO, a Subsidiary IPO, Non-Change of Control Merger Event, Non-IPO Liquidity Event or Change of Control occurs during the six months prior to any Maturity Date, then the Holders shall retain the rights in Sections 3 and 4 of this Note with respect to such IPO, Change of Control, Subsidiary IPO, Non-Change of Control Merger Event or Non-IPO Liquidity Event, as applicable.

 

12


(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at (or within thirty (30) days prior to) any Applicable Maturity Date or QIPO Maturity Extension Maturity Date, there exists a Material Financial Market Disruption, then (x) the Issuer shall have a one-time option (the “MAC Maturity Extension”) to extend the next Maturity Date for up to one (1) year (such extended Applicable Maturity Date, the “Market MAC Extended Maturity Date”), which option may be elected by written notice to the Holders on or prior to the Applicable Maturity Date, provided that during the period of such MAC Maturity Extension, Interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note at an interest rate of 12.50% per annum commencing on such Applicable Maturity Date, pursuant to the payment and accrual terms set forth in Section 2 (with such Interest payable either as PIK Interest or Cash Interest at the option of the Issuer), and/or (y) the Requisite Holders shall have a one-time option to withdraw any prior elections pursuant to subsections (a) through (e) of this Section 5 until the next applicable notice date prior to the next Maturity Date; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, during the term of this Note, the Issuer may elect to pursue the actions related to clause (x) above one time and the Requisite Holders may elect to pursue the actions related to clause (y) above one time, regardless of the number of occurrences of a Material Financial Market Disruption. A MAC Maturity Extension shall not operate to extend any subsequent Maturity Dates (i.e., if the 2021 Maturity Date is so extended, the 2022 Maturity Date and 2023 Maturity Date will remain the same), provided, however, if a MAC Maturity Extension coincides with the 2023 Maturity Date, the rights of the Holder on the 2023 Maturity Date will be in effect on the Market MAC Extended Maturity Date.

6.    CONVERSION AND PAR REDEMPTION PROCEDURES.

(a)    Conversion Right. Upon any Conversion Event, the portion of the outstanding Note Obligations Amount being converted shall be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Conversion Security, pursuant to the relevant terms set forth herein applicable to such Conversion Event. If the issuance of the Conversion Security would result in the issuance of a fractional share of the Conversion Security, the Issuer shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the portion of the Note Obligation Amount otherwise represented by such fractional share. The Issuer shall pay any and all U.S. federal and state transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Conversion Security upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of the Conversion Security to any Person other than the converting Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Conversion Security or as a result of such conversion and the Issuer shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Issuer the amount of any such transfer, stamp and similar tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer, that such transfer, stamp and similar tax has been paid or is not payable.

(b)    Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)    In the event of a Par Redemption, the Issuer shall select a Par Redemption Option and the applicable Par Redemption Date by delivering to the Holder written notice thereof no later than fifteen (15) days after the closing date of the Non-Qualified IPO or fifteen (15) days prior to the Applicable Maturity Date or the closing of the Non-Change of Control Merger Event into a Public Issuer, pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), as applicable.

(ii)    In connection with a Final Prepayment/Extension Election, the Issuer shall deliver notice of whether it intends to select the Seven Year Extension or prepay the Note Obligations Amount (and the applicable prepayment date) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the 2023 Maturity Date.

(iii)    In the event of a Preferred Par Redemption Election, the Issuer shall select a Preferred Par Redemption Option and the applicable redemption date for such Preferred Par Redemption Option by delivering to the Holder written notice thereof no later than fifteen (15) days after the closing date of the Qualified IPO.

(vi)    In the case of an election of a Par Redemption Option or Preferred Par Redemption Option involving a conversion or partial conversion of the Note, (A) the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of the Conversion Security issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of the Conversion Security, and (B) the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable effort to deliver shares of Conversion Securities to such Person or Persons within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Par Redemption Date or applicable redemption date for any Preferred Par Redemption Option.

 

15


(vii)    If the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note (together with any accrued, unpaid and non-capitalized Interest) is greater than the portion of the Note Obligations Amount being repaid, repurchased or converted, then the Issuer shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14) representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note not repaid, repurchased or converted. In the event of a partial repayment of this Note pursuant hereto, the portion of the Note Obligations Amount repaid, repurchased or converted shall be deducted first from the aggregate amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note and thereafter from an accrued, unpaid and non-capitalized Interest for the purposes of determining the Outstanding Principal Balance not repaid, repurchased or converted, any accrued, unpaid and non-capitalized Interest thereon, and calculating future Interest payments due on this Note pursuant to Section 2 following such partial repayment, repurchase or conversion.

7.    DEFAULT. This Note shall be subject to the Event of Default provisions set forth in Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement.

8.    REMEDIES. On the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been timely cured as provided in the Purchase Agreement:

(a)    Acceleration of Note. The Requisite Holders may, at such Requisite Holders’ option, declare all sums due to the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the Notes to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable and the Requisite Holders will be entitled to proceed to selectively and successively enforce the Holder’s rights under the Purchase Agreement or any other instruments delivered to the Holder in connection with the Purchase Agreement (including any Notes); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default of the type specified in Section 6.3(d)(iii) or (iv) of the Purchase Agreement shall cause the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance then outstanding (together with any other Note Obligations Amounts accrued or payable) to be, and the same shall thereupon 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.

(b)    Waiver of Default. The Holders shall, upon execution of an instrument or instruments in writing signed by Requisite Holders, waive (and shall be deemed to have waived) any Default which has occurred together with any of the consequences of such Default and, in such event, the Holders and the Issuer will be restored to their respective former positions, rights and obligations hereunder. Any Default so waived will, for all purposes of this Agreement with respect to the Holder, be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequence of such subsequent or other Default.

 

16


(c)    Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise and no delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right hereunder preclude any other or further right of exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not alternative.

9.    RESERVED.

10.    RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall, on or prior to the date of conversion of any Notes, take all action necessary, including amending the Charter, to reserve the requisite number of shares of its authorized and unissued capital stock (including with respect to the creation of any new Capital Stock of the Issuer subsequent to the Issuance Date), solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of this Note, such that the number of shares of Conversion Security shall be duly and validly reserved and available for issuance at the time of the conversion of this Note, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Note, 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 this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Charter, the Bylaws or one or more of the Transaction Agreements, applicable federal and state securities Laws or liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Purchasers.

11.    VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by New York law and as expressly provided in this Note.

12.    VOTE TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF NOTES. This Note, and any of the terms and provisions hereof, may be amended from time to time with (and only with) the written consent of the Requisite Holders and the Issuer. The Requisite Holders may waive compliance by the Issuer with any of the terms hereof. Any amendment or waiver to which the Requisite Holders have consented in writing shall be binding upon all Holders.

13.    TRANSFER AND RELATED PROVISIONS.

(a)    Except as provided in Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement, this Note may not be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder without the prior written consent of the Issuer. Any offer, sale, assignment or other transfer of this Note is also subject to the restrictive legends on this Note.

(b)    The Issuer shall maintain and keep updated a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). 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 a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part 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 a Holder and the physical surrender of this Note to the Issuer, the Issuer shall record the information

 

17


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 designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 14.

14.    REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

(a)    Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Issuer, whereupon the Issuer will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note held by the Holder is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) to the Holder representing the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Note not being transferred. The Holder and any transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 14(d) following conversion or redemption 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)    Lost, Stolen 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 new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing the Outstanding Principal Balance.

(c)    Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Issuer, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing in the aggregate the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such Outstanding Principal Balance as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

(d)    Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Issuer is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 14(a) or Section 14(c), the Outstanding Principal Balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note, if any, from the Issuance Date; and (vi) shall be timely prepared and issued by the Issuer, but in no event shall the Issuer issue such new 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 14(b), as the case may be.

 

18


15.    REMEDIES. 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 or in equity 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.

16.    CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Issuer and all the Holders and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note.

17.    FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. The Holder shall not by any act or omission be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies under this Note or the Purchase Agreement unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.

18.    DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of the Requisite Holders dispute the Issuer’s the determination of the VWAP, any adjustment to the terms of conversion of the Note effected by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) or any arithmetic calculations by the Issuer under this Note, the Requisite Holders shall submit to the Issuer their determination or calculations thereof. If the Requisite Holders and the Issuer are unable to agree upon such determination, adjustment or calculation within five (5) Business Days of the submission by the Requisite Holders, then the Issuer shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter submit (a) the disputed determination of the VWAP, the disputed adjustment to the terms of conversion of the Note effected pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) hereof, as the case may be, to an independent, reputable investment bank (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) investment banks nationally, by revenue) selected by the Issuer and approved by the Requisite Holders, or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Issuer’s independent, outside accountant, or if such accountant is unwilling, 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 investment bank or accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be, and notify the Issuer and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be. The Issuer shall pay the costs and expense of such investment bank or accountant, as applicable, unless determination, adjustment or calculation of such investment bank or accountant is mathematically closer to the Issuer’s determination, adjustment or calculation than the determination, adjustment or calculation submitted by the Requisite Holders, in which case, the costs and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid by the Requisite Holders. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The procedures required by this Section 18 are collectively referred to as the “Dispute Resolution Procedures”.

19.    NOTICES AND PAYMENTS.

(a)    Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 7.5 of the Purchase Agreement.

(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 by providing the Issuer with prior written notice setting out such request and 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. All payments to be made by the Issuer under this Note to any United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (who has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9), shall be paid free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all taxes. All payments to be made by the Issuer under this Note to any person other than a United States person (a “non- United States person”) shall be paid free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law, in which case Issuer shall withhold such taxes and such withheld amounts shall be treated as paid to the Holder to extent they are remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. In the event that a taxing authority retroactively determines that a payment made by Issuer under this Note to a non-United States person should have been subject to withholding (or to additional withholding) for taxes, and Issuer remits such withholding tax to the taxing authority, Issuer will have the right to offset such amount (including interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon) against future payment obligations of Issuer to such non-United States person under this Note.

20.    WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by law, 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 and the Purchase Agreement.

21.    GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND SEVERABILITY. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Issuer hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City 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

 

20


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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Issuer in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Issuer’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.

22.    TAX TREATMENT. The Issuer and the Holder hereby agree that they shall treat this Note as a convertible debt instrument that is not subject to the application of the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4, except as otherwise required by a governing Federal, state or local tax authority. The Issuer and the Holder hereby agree to treat (i) the Note as issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) except as otherwise required by a governing Federal, state or local tax authority, (x) the issue price of the Note as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and, (y) as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(c)(2), the yield on the Note as 2.5% per annum and the deemed maturity date of this Note as the date that is the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date. The Issuer and the Holder agree (i) to file all tax returns in accordance with such treatment, and not to take any position inconsistent with such treatment in any tax return, refund claim, or other tax filing (except as otherwise required by a governing Federal, state or local tax authority following the conclusion of a proceeding described in (ii) below), and (ii) to defend in good faith such treatment, taking into account the tax treatment of the Holder, in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other tax proceeding. If the Note has neither been the subject of a Conversion Event nor repaid in full prior to the date that is fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date, then notwithstanding the foregoing, the yield and deemed maturity date shall be recalculated pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(c), and (i) pursuant to such rules, shall, subject to a change in applicable law after the date hereof, be treated as a fixed rate debt instrument until the Initial Maturity Date, and (ii) thereafter as determined in good faith in consultation between the Issuer and the Requisite Holders, in each case except as otherwise required by a governing Federal, state or local tax authority.

23.    NO FIDUCIARY DUTY. Each of the Holders and their Affiliates may have interests, economic or otherwise, that conflict with those of the other Holders, their equityholders and/or their Affiliates. Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of the Fund is required for the taking of any action hereunder, each Holder agrees that nothing in the Transaction Agreements or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Fund, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any other Holder, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) none of the Fund, its stockholders or its Affiliates have assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any other Holder, its equityholders or its Affiliates with respect to the Transactions contemplated hereby or under any of the Transaction Agreements (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect hereto or thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Fund, its stockholders or its Affiliates have advised, are currently advising or will advise any other Holder, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any other Holder and (ii) the Fund shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, seek the approval or consent of, or take into account the interest of any other Holder in connection with any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or its

 

21


actions or omissions to act or otherwise under the Transaction Agreements. The Fund shall not be liable to any other Holder for any loss or damage, including counsel fees, resulting from its actions or omissions to act or otherwise under the Transaction Agreements. In no event shall the Fund be liable to the other Holder or any third party for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising out of its actions or omissions to act.
