  (e)

Any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement shall be incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect (except to the extent that such representation or warranty is qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, to which extent it shall be incorrect, false or misleading in any respect) as of the date it was made or deemed made.

  (f)

(i) The Company shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the Company shall declare a moratorium on the payment of its debts; (iii) the commencement by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or consent seeking reorganization, intervention or other similar relief under any applicable Law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of all or substantially all of its assets; or (iv) the commencement against the Company of a proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction under any bankruptcy or other applicable Law (as now or hereafter in effect) seeking its liquidation, winding up, dissolution, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official), and any such proceeding shall continue undismissed, or any order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall continue unstayed or otherwise in effect, for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days.

 

  (g)

The Company shall fail to perform or comply with any term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in any agreement(s) or instrument(s) governing any indebtedness for borrowed money if both (i) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such indebtedness causing such indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity and (ii) the principal amount of such indebtedness in default, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75,000,000 or more at any one time outstanding.

In the event of any Event of Default, the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Purchaser in enforcing their rights under the Note and this Agreement and collecting any amounts due and payable under the Note. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Purchaser under this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now and hereafter existing under applicable law.

  6.4.

Cooperation. Prior to any issuance of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Note, the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in a timely manner to (a) take, or cause to be taken, all further actions, (b) deliver to the other parties such further information and documents and (c) execute and deliver to the other parties such further instruments, including any amendments to the Restated Certificate or the Company’s Bylaws, in each case as any other party may reasonably request in the case of (a), (b) and (c), solely to the extent necessary in order to authorize the issuance of such Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Note and as required by the law of the applicable

 

12


  jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with the Purchaser and cooperate in good faith to determine whether any filings or approvals pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”) will be required prior to the Purchaser’s conversion of Notes. If a filing is required under the HSR Act, the Company and the Purchaser will cooperate in good faith to prepare and file notifications with respect to the applicable transaction (and the Company will not effect such conversion of the Note) until the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; it being agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that no such delay (assuming the Company has complied with its obligations under this Section 6.4) will constitute a breach of any obligation of the Company or the Purchaser under the Note. If such regulatory approval is not received, the Company will provide the Purchaser with a mutually agreeable alternative equivalent to the economic value of the conversion rights under the Note.

 

  6.5.

Restricted Period.

 

  (a)

During the Restricted Period, the Purchaser shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, Transfer the Note or any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Note, other than Permitted Transfers. “Permitted Transfers” shall mean any (i) transfer to a Permitted Transferee, (ii) transfer to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) tender of any Class A Common Stock into a Third Party Tender/Exchange Offer (and any related conversion of Notes to the extent required to effect such tender or exchange) and any transfer effected pursuant to any merger, consolidation or similar transaction consummated by the Company. “Third Party Tender/Exchange Offer” shall mean any tender or exchange offer made to all of the holders of Class A Common Stock by a Third Party that, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control solely to the extent that (x) the Board has recommended such tender or exchange offer in a Schedule 14D-9 under the Exchange Act or (y) such tender or exchange offer is either (I) a tender or exchange offer for less than all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or (II) part of a two-step transaction and the consideration to be received in the second step of such transaction is not identical in the amount or form of consideration (or the election of the type of consideration available to holders of Class A Common Stock is not identical in the second-step of such transaction) as the first step of such transaction.

 

  (b)

After the Restricted Period, the Purchaser shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, Transfer the Note or any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Note to (i) competitors of the Company, (ii) a Company stockholder who (together with its Affiliates) would have Beneficial Ownership of more than 3.5% in the aggregate of the shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding at such time (on an as-converted basis), after taking into account the applicable proposed Transfer, or (iii) a Third Party that is objectionable to the Board, after its good faith consideration, in each case other than Permitted Transfers or Transfers in market transactions.

 

13


  6.6.

Standstill.

 

  (a)

The Purchaser agrees that, during the Standstill Period, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (collectively and individually, the “Purchaser Affiliates,”) not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner, alone or in concert with others take any of the following actions without the prior consent of the Company:

 

  (i)

  (iii)

take any action in support of or make any proposal or request that constitutes: (A) controlling or changing the Board or management of the Company, (B) any material change in the capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (C) any other material change in the Company’s management, business or corporate structure, or (D) seeking to have the Company waive or make amendments or modifications to the Restated Certificate or Bylaws, or other actions that may impede or facilitate the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;

 

  (iv)

make, engage in, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, any “solicitation” of proxies (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC but without regard to the exclusion set forth in Rule 14a-1(l)(2)(iv)) or consents to vote, or seek to advise, encourage or influence any person with respect to the voting of any securities of the Company for the election of individuals to the Board or to approve any proposals submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company that have not been authorized and approved, or recommended for approval, by the Board, or become a “participant” in any contested “solicitation” (as such terms are defined or used under the Exchange Act) for the election of directors with respect to the Company, other than a “solicitation” or acting as a “participant” in support of all of the nominees of the Board at any stockholder meeting, or make or be the proponent of any stockholder proposal (pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act or otherwise);

 

  (v)

form, join, encourage, influence, advise or in any way participate in any “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any persons who are not Purchaser Affiliates with respect to any securities of the Company or otherwise in any manner agree, attempt, seek or propose to deposit any securities of the Company or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such securities in any voting trust or similar arrangement, or subject any securities of the Company to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting thereof, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement;

 

14


  (vi)

make any public disclosure, announcement or statement regarding any intent, purpose, plan or proposal with respect to the Board, the Company, its management, policies or affairs, any of its securities or assets or this Agreement that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; or

 

  (vii)

enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements or understandings with any Third Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or advise, assist, knowingly encourage or seek to persuade any Third Party to take any action or make any statement with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

  (b)

The provisions of Section 6.6(a) shall not be deemed to prohibit the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Affiliates or their respective directors, executive officers, partners, employees, managing members, advisors or agents (acting in such capacity) from communicating privately with the Company’s directors, officers or advisors so long as such communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure of such communications.

  7.4.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

Execution and delivery of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other electronic transmission is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.

 

  7.5.

Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

 

  7.6.

16


  7.9.

Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable Law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms, so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

  7.10.

Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
