Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The disclosure in Item 4 below is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Series G Subscription Agreement

On May 18, 2012, Lighting Science Group Corporation (the “Issuer”) entered into a Series G Unit Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with PCA Holdings pursuant to which the Issuer issued 2,000 units (the “Series G Units”) of the Issuer’s securities to PCA Holdings at a price per Series G Unit of $1,000.00 (the “Series G Offering”) for total consideration of $2,000,000. Each Series G Unit consists of: (i) one share of the Issuer’s Series G Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 83 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, if, at any time while PCA Holdings holds any shares of Series G Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Issuer issues securities (other than pursuant to the Issuer’s equity-based compensation plans) that result in gross proceeds to the Issuer of at least $50,000,000 (a “Subsequent Issuance”), the Issuer must notify PCA Holdings of the terms and conditions of such Subsequent Issuance. Simultaneous with, and subject to the closing and terms and conditions of, such Subsequent Issuance, PCA Holdings would have the right to: (i) require the Issuer to use the proceeds of such Subsequent Issuance to redeem all of PCA Holdings’ Series G Preferred Stock or (ii) convert all or a portion of PCA Holdings’ Series G Preferred Stock into the securities issued in the Subsequent Issuance on substantially the same terms and conditions governing the Subsequent Issuance. If PCA Holdings elects to convert its shares of Series G Preferred Stock, PCA Holdings would retain all of the shares of common stock issued in conjunction with each converted share of Series G Preferred Stock.

In addition, if, at any time prior to November 17, 2013, the Issuer issues securities (other than issuances pursuant to the Issuer’s equity-based compensation plans or pursuant to a Subsequent Issuance) which PCA Holdings, in its sole reasonable discretion, determines are more favorable than the Series G Units, PCA Holdings may exchange all of its Series G Units, valued at the Liquidation Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation concerning the Series G Preferred Stock) of the Series G Preferred Stock included in such Series G Units, for such newly issued securities.

The Issuer’s committee of non-employee directors approved the Series G Offering prior to the execution of the Subscription Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Amendment No. 25 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Preferred Stock Exchange

On May 25, 2012, PCA Holdings and LSGC Holdings II notified the Issuer that pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of the Series G Preferred Stock (the “Series G COD”) and due to the occurrence of a Subsequent Transaction (as defined in the Series G COD), both PCA Holdings and LSGC Holdings II elected to exchange (the “Preferred Stock Exchange”) all of their shares of the Issuer’s Series G Preferred Stock for shares of the Issuer’s Series I Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series I Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Exchange, PCA Holdings exchanged 17,650 shares of the Issuer’s Series G Preferred Stock for 18,316 shares of the Issuer’s Series I Preferred Stock, and LSGC Holdings II exchanged 14,958 shares of the Issuer’s Series G Preferred Stock for 15,577 shares of the Issuer’s Series I Preferred Stock. Each share of Series I Preferred Stock is immediately convertible into approximately 847 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments and alteration in the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series I Preferred Stock, the “Series I COD”) described in the Series I COD. The Series I Preferred Stock has no expiration date. The shares of Series I Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of the same type as any dividends or other distribution of any kind payable or to be made on outstanding shares of Common Stock, on an as converted basis. Upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering where (i) the gross proceeds received by the Issuer and any selling stockholders in the offering are no less than $100 million and (ii) the market capitalization of the Issuer immediately after consummation of the offering is no less than $500 million, each outstanding share of Series I Preferred Stock will automatically convert into Common Stock on terms described in the Series I COD.

So long as PCA and its affiliates (the “PCA Parties”) in the aggregate continue to beneficially own at least 2,500 shares of Series I Preferred Stock, the PCA Parties will have the right, on behalf of the holders of the Series I Preferred Stock, to elect a number of directors to the Board of Directors of the Issuer equal to the greater of: (i) two directors and (ii) the number of directors (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the total number of directors that constitute the whole Board of Directors by (B) the percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents beneficially owned at such time by the PCA Parties in the aggregate. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, at least one director elected by the


PCA Parties must be appointed to the Audit Committee of the Issuer’s Board of Directors. In the event that PCA Parties cease to hold the requisite number of Series I Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series I Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect one director to the Issuer’s Board of Directors so long as such shares of Series I Preferred Stock represent at least 10% or more of the Issuer’s capital stock (on an as-converted basis).

In addition, in connection with the Preferred Stock Exchange, the previously disclosed Participation Agreement dated December 19, 2011, that was included as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D, was amended to provide that PPIV would have the same pecuniary interest in common stock held directly by PCA Holdings following the Preferred Stock Exchange as it had immediately prior to the Preferred Stock Exchange.

The committee of nonemployee directors of the Issuer’s Board of Directors approved the Preferred Stock Exchange in advance of the Preferred Stock Exchange.

Exchange and Redemption Agreement

On May 25, 2012, the Issuer, LSGC Holdings and Continental Casualty Company (“CCC”) entered into an Exchange and Redemption Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement dated January 17, 2012, by and between the Issuer and LSGC Holdings, LSGC Holdings agreed to surrender to the Issuer 2,505,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in connection with the Issuer indemnifying LSGC Holdings upon the occurrence of certain events of default caused by the Issuer under the senior preferred membership interests in LSGC Holdings held by CCC, the mechanics of which were agreed to in the Exchange Agreement. In satisfaction of that indemnification obligation, the Issuer paid $16,228,543.12 to CCC.

The committee of non-employee directors of the Issuer’s Board of Directors approved the Exchange Agreement in advance of the Issuer, LSGC Holdings and CCC entering into the Exchange Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Amendment No. 25 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Commitment Agreement

On May 25, 2012, the Issuer, PPIV, PCA Holdings, LSGC Holdings II and PCA entered into a Commitment Agreement (the “Commitment Agreement”) pursuant to which PPIV, PCA Holdings, LSGC Holdings II and PCA (collectively, the “Investors”) agreed to purchase or cause to be purchased (through assignment as discussed below) an aggregate of 21,131 shares of the Issuer’s Series I Preferred Stock by the four-month anniversary of the date of the Commitment Agreement (the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the Commitment Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the date of the Commitment Agreement until the Maturity Date, any of PPIV, PCA Holdings, LSGC Holdings II or PCA may assign its right to buy any amount of Series I Preferred Stock (or, if to a third party, the Issuer’s Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series H Preferred Stock”)) up to the 21,131 shares the Investors are committed to buy by the Maturity Date to any other person without the consent of the Issuer and the assignee will execute a subscription agreement with the Issuer. The purchase price per share of Series I Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock will be $1,000.

The committee of non-employee directors of the Issuer’s Board of Directors approved the commitment Agreement in advance of the Issuer and the Investors entering into the Commitment Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Commitment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Commitment Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.4 to this Amendment No. 25 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Reporting Persons continuously assess the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, other developments and additional investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or may determine to purchase, sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Issuer’s securities in the open market, as applicable, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to its investment decision.

Except as set forth herein or in previous amendments to this Schedule 13D, as the case may be, the Reporting Persons do not have present plans or proposals at this time that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 25 are incorporated herein by reference. Such information is based upon 206,902,346 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 25, 2012.


On March 23, 2012, the Issuer issued to Pegasus Capital Advisors IV, L.P. (“Pegasus Advisors”) 84,034 shares of restricted common stock valued at $1.19 per share as director fees for Richard Weinberg’s service on the Board of Directors of the Issuer. Because Richard Weinberg, a partner of an affiliate of Pegasus Advisors and an employee of an affiliate of Pegasus Advisors, serves on the Issuer’s Board as a representative of Pegasus Advisors, Mr. Weinberg does not have a right to any of the Issuer’s securities issued as director fees and Pegasus Advisors is entitled to receive all director fees payable by the Issuer in respect of Mr. Weinberg’s Board position. Pegasus Capital Advisors IV GP, LLC (“Pegasus Advisors GP”) is the general partner of Pegasus Advisors and Mr. Cogut is the sole owner and managing member of Pegasus Advisors GP. Mr. Cogut disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities directly held by Pegasus Advisors, and this disclosure shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Cogut is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 13(d) or for any other purpose.

The disclosure regarding the Subscription Agreement, the Preferred Stock Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Commitment Agreement in Item 4 is incorporated by reference herein.

Except as set forth herein and in our previously filed amendments to Schedule 13D, as the case may be, there have been no other transactions in the class of securities reported on that were effected within the past sixty days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Bridge Loan

On March 2, 2012, Leon Wagner (“Mr. Wagner”) executed a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with PCLLC pursuant to which PCLLC agreed to loan Mr. Wagner a sum of $2,000,000 (the “Bridge Loan”). The interest rate for the Promissory Note was 4% and the maturity date was the seven month anniversary of the date of the Promissory Note. Mr. Wagner ultimately used the proceeds from the Bridge Loan to purchase 2,000 Series G Units of the Issuer pursuant to a Subscription Agreement by and between Mr. Wagner and the Issuer dated May 2, 2012.

The foregoing description of the Promissory Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Promissory Note, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Amendment No. 25 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Co-Sale Letter Agreement

On May 25, 2012, PCA and RW LSG Holdings LLC (“RW Holdings”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, and subject to certain exceptions, in the event that PCA or certain of its affiliates proposes to transfer the Issuer’s securities, RW Holdings will be entitled to participate in such transfer on the same terms and conditions for up to RW Holdings’ pro rata share of the securities proposed to be transferred. RW Holdings’ rights under the Letter Agreement terminate when RW Holdings and its affiliates beneficially own less than 5% of the Issuer’s equity and debt securities, on an as-converted basis.

In addition, PCA agreed to cooperate with RW Holdings in the event of a Control Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Issuer’s Series H Preferred Stock (the “Series H COD”)) by providing an irrevocable proxy to RW Holdings to vote PCA’s and its affiliates’ Issuer securities. The irrevocable proxy will remain in effect until the satisfaction in full or the waiver of the Redemption (as defined in the Series H COD) obligation which gave rise to the Control Event, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Series H COD. The occurrence of a Control Event would not be within the control of PCA or any of its affiliates, because a Control Event occurs upon the exercise of certain redemption rights by RW Holdings or upon certain other redemption events outside of the control of PCA or any of its affiliates. Upon delivery of the irrevocable proxy, PCA will have no control over how the underlying shares are voted by RW Holdings.

Furthermore, if PCA or any its affiliates, on the one hand, or RW Holdings, on the other hand, exercises demand rights pursuant to their respective registration rights agreements, such exercising party shall deliver notice thereof to the other party, and such other party shall have the right to participate in such registration on a pari passu basis through a joint demand as discussed further below in the description of Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be a complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.5 to this Amendment No. 25 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

As previously disclosed, on January 30, 2009, the Issuer entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with PPIV (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer granted PPIV the right for up to three demands for the registration of any shares of Common Stock held or subsequently acquired by PPIV or its affiliates, including Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants or any other convertible securities, and certain piggyback registration rights with respect to such securities.

On May 25, 2012, the Issuer, PPIV and LSGC Holdings entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”). Amendment No. 1 amends the demand rights of PPIV and LSGC Holdings such that if RW Holdings or RW LSG Management Holdings LLC (“RW Management Holdings,” and together with RW Holdings, the “Riverwood Entities”) makes a demand for registration pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into by the Riverwood Entities with the Issuer, PPIV and LSGC Holdings have the right to elect to participate in that demand registration pari passu with the Riverwood Entities, and such joint demand will not count against the three demands for registration available under the A&R Registration Rights Agreement. Similarly, if PPIV or LSGC Holdings makes a demand pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, that party shall give notice to the Riverwood Entities of such demand and the Riverwood Entities shall have an equivalent right to elect to participate in a joint demand. In addition, pursuant to Amendment No. 1, PPIV and LSGC Holdings have agreed to enter into customary lock-ups in connection with registrations of the Issuer’s securities.

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 1, which is included as Exhibit 10.6 to this Amendment No. 25 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The disclosure regarding the Subscription Agreement, the Preferred Stock Exchange, the Exchange Agreement and the Commitment Agreement in Item 4 is incorporated by reference herein.

The Subscription Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the Commitment Agreement are incorporated by reference as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Amendment No. 25 and are incorporated herein by reference.

All amounts due under this Note shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other defense or deduction whatsoever.

2.3        Mandatory Prepayments.    Within two Business Days following receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Borrower shall prepay the Loan evidenced hereby (in whole or in part, together with all accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid) in an amount equal to the amount of any cash distributions or payments made to the Borrower from

(b) CCC has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder, and to purchase, acquire and accept delivery of the CCC Purchaser Shares.

(c) This Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed by CCC and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of CCC, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by CCC does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which CCC is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which CCC is subject.

-4-


(g) CCC is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the CCC Purchaser Shares for an indefinite period of time because the CCC Purchaser Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

(i) CCC became aware of the offering of the CCC Purchaser Shares other than by means of general advertising or general solicitation.

(j) CCC is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under the 1933 Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as amended by Section 413 of the Private Fund Investment Advisers Registration Act of 2010 and any applicable rules or regulations or interpretations thereof promulgated by the SEC or its staff

(k) CCC acknowledges that the certificates for the CCC Purchaser Shares will contain a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

THE COMPANY MAY REQUEST A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL, WHICH MAY BE IN-HOUSE COUNSEL, SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY) TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH AN OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”

Subject to any lock-up or other similar agreement that may apply to the CCC Purchaser Shares, the requirement that the CCC Purchaser Shares contain the legend set forth in clause (j) above shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i) when such shares are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or (ii) when such securities are transferred in any other transaction if the transferor delivers to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel, which may be in-house counsel, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to

 

-5-


the effect that such legend is no longer necessary in order to protect the Company against a violation by it of the 1933 Act upon any sale or other disposition of such securities without registration thereunder. Upon the consummation of an event described in (i) or (ii) above, the Company, upon surrender of certificates containing such legend, shall, at its own expense, deliver to the holder of any such securities as to which the requirement for such legend shall have terminated, one or more new certificates evidencing such securities not bearing such legend.

(b) LSGC Holdings has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder.

(c) This Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed by LSGC Holdings and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of LSGC Holdings, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by LSGC Holdings does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which LSGC Holdings is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which LSGC Holdings is subject.

(d) LSGC Holdings holds all rights, title and interests to the LSGC Holdings Common Stock, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances (except as set forth in the Letter Agreement or the LLC Agreement), as of the date hereof.

WHEREAS, the Investors have agreed to purchase all, but not less than all, of the unpurchased Commitment Shares no later than the four-month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of Commitment Shares.

a. At any time and from time to time (each a “Transaction Date”) on or prior to the Maturity Date, each Investor or its Assignees (as defined below) (each, an “Exercising Purchaser”) may give notice (a “Transaction Notice”), a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, of its election to purchase all or less than all of the unpurchased Commitment Shares (in the form of Series I Preferred Stock if by an Investor or its affiliates, or in the form of Series H Preferred Stock or Series I Preferred Stock if by a third party assignee) by (x) executing a subscription agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Exercising Purchaser (a “Preferred Subscription Agreement”) and having substantially the same representations and warranties and indemnities as those set forth in that certain Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of the date first written above, by and between the Company, RW LSG Holdings LLC and certain other parties signatories thereto, and substantially the same covenants as those set forth in Sections 4(b), 4(d) and 4(h) thereof (provided, that if such Exercising Purchaser is an Investor or an affiliate of an Investor, such indemnities shall not cover or be in respect of breaches or inaccuracies of any representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Company to the extent directly caused by the fraud, bad faith or willful


misconduct of that Investor or any of its affiliates (other than the Company or its subsidiaries) in its individual capacity, rather than indirectly through the Company or its subsidiaries) and (y) fulfilling all of its obligations to purchase thereunder; provided, that (i) a Transaction Notice for more than the number of unpurchased Commitment Shares shall be deemed to be for all (but not more than all) of the unpurchased Commitment Shares and the aggregate purchase price therefor shall be adjusted accordingly and (ii) to the extent that the Company cannot make representations and warranties as of the effective date of a Preferred Subscription Agreement, the Company shall make such representations and warranties as of the date of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company, the Investors and/or such Assignee to execute a subscription agreement with respect to the Commitment Shares unpurchased as of the Maturity Date shall not in any way relieve the obligation of the Investors to purchase or cause to be purchased such shares as forth in Section 2 on the Maturity Date. The price per Commitment Share shall be equal to $1,000.00 per share (the aggregate price for all such Commitment Shares is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”).

b. On each Transaction Date, pursuant to the associated Transaction Notice, the Exercising Purchaser shall purchase from the Company and the Company shall sell to the Exercising Purchaser the number of Commitment Shares set forth in the applicable Transaction Notice in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Preferred Subscription Agreement.

2. Maturity of the Commitment; Commitment to Purchase Commitment Shares. On the Maturity Date, the Investors shall purchase or cause to be purchased all unpurchased Commitment Shares for the Purchase Price.

iv. Since April 16, 2012, there has been no material and adverse change or development, or event involving such a prospective change, in the condition, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

f.

h.

5. Investor Representations and Warranties. Each Investor severally and not jointly represents and warrants to the Company that as of the date hereof:

a. Investor has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder, and to purchase, acquire and accept delivery of the Commitment Shares.

 

- 4 -


b. The Commitment Shares to be acquired by the Investor are for its own account and are not being acquired with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the 1933 Act, or any applicable state securities laws.

c. Investor has, and will have on the Maturity Date, access to sufficient funds to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to pay the Purchase Price and the fees and expenses of Investor related to the transactions contemplated hereby. There are no circumstances or conditions that could reasonably be expected to prevent or substantially delay the availability of such funds at the Maturity Date.

d. Investor will not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Commitment Shares in violation of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any applicable state securities laws.

e. Investor is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of an investment in the Commitment Shares. Investor understands and acknowledges that such investment is a speculative venture, involves a high degree of risk and is subject to complete risk of loss. Investor has carefully considered and has, to the extent Investor deems necessary, discussed with Investor’s professional legal, tax, accounting and financial advisers the suitability of its investment in the Commitment Shares.

f. Investor is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in its Commitment Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Commitment Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Investor: (i) understands and acknowledges that the Commitment Shares being issued to Investor have not been registered under the 1933 Act, nor under the securities laws of any state, nor under the laws of any other country and (ii) recognizes that no public agency has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of any information provided to Investor or the fairness of the terms of its investment in the Commitment Shares.

h. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Investor does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Investor is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Investor is subject.

i. Investor became aware of the offering of the Commitment Shares other than by means of general advertising or general solicitation.

 

- 5 -


j. Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under the 1933 Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as amended by Section 413 of the Private Fund Investment Advisers Registration Act of 2010 and any applicable rules or regulations or interpretations thereof promulgated by the SEC or its staff.

k. Investor acknowledges that the certificates for the Commitment Shares will contain a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

THE COMPANY MAY REQUEST A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY) TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH AN OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”

Subject to any lock-up or other similar agreement that may apply to the Commitment Shares, the requirement that the Commitment Shares contain the legend set forth in clause (j) above shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i) when such shares are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or (ii) when such securities are transferred in any other transaction if the transferor delivers to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that such legend is no longer necessary in order to protect the Company against a violation by it of the 1933 Act upon any sale or other disposition of such securities without registration thereunder. Upon the consummation of an event described in (i) or (ii) above, the Company, upon surrender of certificates containing such legend, shall, at its own expense, deliver to the holder of any such securities as to which the requirement for such legend shall have terminated, one or more new certificates evidencing such securities not bearing such legend.

6. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its affiliates and each of their respective partners, managers equityholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and affiliates and the respective representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, diminution of value, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing), asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing as a result of, arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company and contained in this Agreement and the schedule hereto.

7. General Provisions.

a. Choice of Law. The laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the conflict of laws provisions thereof, will govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement.

b. Amendment and Waiver; Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of RW LSG Holdings LLC, the Company and Investor. RW LSG Holdings LLC shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the right to enforce all of the rights and benefits set forth herein on behalf of the Company.

c. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute a single agreement.

This Agreement, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or email with scan or facsimile attachment, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or email as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, RW LSG Holdings LLC, the Company and each Investor shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other

Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Series H Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Subscription Agreement”), between Lighting Science Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and RW LSG Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which Purchaser shall acquire shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Series H Preferred”) issued pursuant to the certificate of designation with respect to the Series H Preferred, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Series H Certificate”), which Series H Preferred will be convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 5 below; capitalized terms used but not defined herein will have the meanings therefor set forth in the Series H Certificate. To induce Purchaser to enter into the Subscription Agreement, you have agreed to enter into this letter agreement providing for certain agreements with respect to certain potential future events or transactions involving Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P. (“PCA”) and/or its Affiliates (collectively with PCA, the “Pegasus Group”). Therefor, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the parties to this letter agreement hereby agrees as follows:

1. In the event of any Transfer of Company Securities by the Pegasus Group to an unaffiliated third party, Purchaser and (x) prior to a Control Event (as defined in the Series H Certificate) any Affiliate to whom Purchaser has transferred Company Securities and (y) following a Control Event, any person or entity to whom Purchaser has transferred Company Securities in a single transaction by which Purchaser Transfers greater than 25% of the Capital Stock acquired pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis (Purchaser, collectively with the persons or entities identified in clauses (x) and (y), the “Co-Sale Offerees”) shall have the right to participate in such Transfer by selling a pro rata share of Company Securities as calculated in accordance with this Section 1. Each Co-Sale Offeree’s pro rata share shall be, (A) in the event that such Transfer is in respect of Capital Stock or other Company Securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Capital Stock, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Capital Stock (on an as converted basis) to be transferred and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total Capital Stock (on an as converted basis) owned by such Co-Sale Offeree and the denominator of which is the total Capital Stock (on an as converted basis) owned by all Co-Sale Offerees and the Pegasus Group at such time and (B) in the event that such Transfer is in respect of Company Securities not convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Capital Stock, equal to the product of (i) the fair market value of such Company Securities to be transferred and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the fair market value of such Company Securities owned by such Co-Sale Offeree and the denominator of which is fair market value of such Company Securities owned by all Co-Sale Offerees and the Pegasus Group at such time. The term “fair market value” shall mean the fair market value (1) as determined based on the purchase price of the Company Securities in the proposed Transfer, (2) if not so determinable, as mutually agreed by the parties hereto in writing


or (3) if they cannot agree after seven (7) days following the initiation of discussions between the parties with respect thereto, the fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser selected by the parties hereto, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid in inverse proportion (based on the difference in the parties’ proposed valuation submitted to the independent appraiser) to such determination. Such participation must be in accordance with the following procedures and is subject to the following limitations:

a. A member of the Pegasus Group shall give Purchaser not less than ten (10) days prior written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) of any proposed Transfer of Company Securities by any member of the Pegasus Group other than a transfer (i) to an Affiliate of any member of the Pegasus Group, (ii) a pro rata in-kind distribution or dividend to the equityholders of Pegasus Partners IV, L.P. who were equityholders thereof on the date hereof (provided, that such distribution or dividend shall not result in a Transfer to any such equityholder of more than 15% of the Company Securities held by the Pegasus Group as of the date hereof; provided, further, that such distribution or dividend shall not be structured so as to avoid the occurrence or triggering of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series H Certificate)), (iii) pursuant to any transaction which gives rise to registration rights (whether “demand” or “piggy-back”) under that certain Registration Rights Agreement, by and among the Company and RW LSG Holdings LLC and RW LSG Management Holdings LLC, dated as of the date hereof, (iv) pursuant to that certain Commitment Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company, PCA, Pegasus Partners IV, L.P., PCA LSG Holdings, LLC and LSGC Holdings II LLC (provided, that such Transfer is made in accordance with the terms thereof, as in effect from time to time), and (v) pursuant to the exercise of an Optional Redemption Right (as defined in the certificate of designation for the Series I Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company) or (vi) by PCA LSG Holdings, LLC with respect to not more than 17,650 Series G Units (“Series G Units”), each comprised of (A) one share of Series G Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Series G Preferred Stock”) and (B) and 83 shares of Common Stock or any shares of Series G Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued pursuant to a purchase thereof, and any securities of the Company into which the Series G Units or the Series G Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued pursuant to a purchase thereof may be converted or exchanged. Such Co-Sale Notice shall set forth (i) the quantity and type of Company Securities proposed to be Transferred by all members of the Pegasus Group, the purchase price proposed to be paid therefor and the payment terms, (ii) the Company’s calculation of the quantity of Company Securities that the Co-Sale Offerees shall be entitled to Transfer to the Co-Sale Buyer and the purchase price therefor (to the extent the Pegasus Group is Transferring any Company Securities other than those convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Capital Stock), in each case calculated as provided in this Section 1, on an as-converted to Common Stock basis and (iii) the identity of the proposed transferee (the “Co-Sale Buyer”) and any other material terms and conditions of such sale, including the proposed transfer date. The parties hereby agree (x) to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to prepare the calculations set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence and (y) if the Company fails to deliver such calculations in a reasonable time frame, the parties shall jointly prepare such calculations. The failure of the Company to prepare such calculations will not toll the ten (10) day notice period set forth above. The Co-Sale Offerees will have the right, exercisable by written notice to PCA within ten (10) days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to elect to sell up to their respective pro rata share of Company Securities to

 

2


the Co-Sale Buyer in such proposed Transfer, upon the same terms and conditions with respect to payment as the Pegasus Group (and to the extent different members of the Pegasus are selling on different terms, the most favorable to the Co-Sale Offerees thereof). The failure of any Co-Sale Offeree to respond within such 10-day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Co-Sale Offeree’s rights to participate in such proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 1.a. If the number of shares Company Securities elected to be Transferred by the Co-Sale Offerees pursuant to this Section 1.a together with the Company Securities proposed to be Transferred by the Pegasus Group is greater than the Company Securities the Co-Sale Buyer wishes to acquire, the amount of Company Securities to be sold by the Pegasus Group shall be proportionately reduced, based on Company Securities proposed to be Transferred to the extent necessary to provide for such sales of Company Securities hereunder by the Co-Sale Offerees.

b. The closing of any proposed Transfer in respect of which a Co-Sale Notice has been delivered shall occur simultaneously with respect to the Pegasus Group and the Co-Sale Offerees. At such closing, the Co-Sale Offerees electing to sell Company Securities shall deliver to the Co-Sale Buyer the Company Securities to be sold thereto and shall receive in exchange therefor the consideration to be paid or delivered by the proposed transferee in respect of such Company Securities in accordance with Section 1.a hereof.

c. In connection with a Transfer of Company Securities by a member of the Pegasus Group in which a Co-Sale Transferee has elected to participate, each such Co-Sale Offeree may be required to the make the same representations and warranties, and agree to the same indemnities, covenants and other agreements as each member of the Pegasus Group, provided, however, that with respect to individual representations and warranties of any stockholder as to the unencumbered title to its Company Securities and the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Securities, which are, for the avoidance of doubt, required to be made without exception, such individual representations and warranties may differ from those made by the Pegasus Group based on the specific facts and circumstances related to such Co-Sale Offeree and no Co-Sale Offeree shall be liable for breaches of any representation or warranty with respect to the unencumbered title to Company Securities and/or the power, authority and legal right to Transfer such Company Securities of any member of the Pegasus Group; provided further, however, that (i) no Co-Sale Offeree shall be required to make, or otherwise be subject to any liability in respect of, any representations or warranties or indemnities, covenants or agreements with respect to the proposed Transfer other than on a several and not joint basis, (ii) in no event shall any Co-Sale Offeree be obligated to agree to any non-compete, non-solicit, no-hire or other restrictive covenant in connection with such Transfer, and (iii) in no event shall any Co-Sale Offeree be liable for any amount in excess of the proceeds (net of any fees and expenses of such Transfer, including, without limitation, those of the Co-Sale Offerees, which shall be borne pro rata by all participants in such transaction) actually paid to such Co-Sale Offeree in such proposed Transfer.

d. No member of the Pegasus Group shall structure the terms of any proposed Transfer in a manner intended to unreasonably limit the ability of the Co-Sale Offerees to participate in the proposed Transfer. In furtherance of the foregoing, no member of the Pegasus Group shall prohibit or seek to prohibit, exercise any veto right it may be entitled to, fail to provide or withhold any necessary consent it may be entitled to, or take any action or fail to take any action which could restrict or limit the right of any Co-Sale Offeree to participate in the proposed Transfer.

2. Pursuant to Section 5(e) of the Series H Certificate, in the event of a Control Event (as defined therein), Purchaser shall have the right to take certain actions as provided in the Series H Certificate. PCA agrees, on behalf of the Pegasus Group, that to facilitate the exercise by Purchaser of its rights under the Series H Certificate, a proxy in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (“Proxy”) will be executed and delivered to Purchaser immediately upon request upon the occurrence of a Control Event by each member of the Pegasus Group that owns (or to the extent that any such securities are owned in “street name”, beneficially owns) voting Company Securities as of such date, and by each other member of the Pegasus Group that subsequently owns voting Company Securities during the duration of such Control Event. PCA (a) represents and warrants that no member of the Pegasus Group has entered, and covenants that during the term of this letter agreement no member of the Pegasus Group will enter, into any voting agreement or voting trust other than for Company directors who are affiliated with members of the Pegasus Group or as set forth in the Series H Certificate and (b) represents and warrants that no member of the Pegasus Group has granted, and covenants that during the term of this letter agreement no member of the Pegasus Group will grant, a proxy or power of attorney, in each case in clauses (a) and (b) with respect to voting Company Securities of such member to the extent inconsistent with the terms of the Proxy and the obligations to enter into thereto hereunder. PCA also agrees to, and to cause each other member of the Pegasus Group to, take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 2 and the Proxy and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted with respect to the Company Securities as held on the date hereof that would be inconsistent with the Proxy if executed on the date hereof.

3. At least ten (10) business days prior to PCA or any member of the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand (either, as the case may be, the “Noticing Party”) exercising any demand registration right or plans to initiate an underwritten shelf take-down pursuant to any registration rights agreement that they may be party to with the Company, the Noticing Party shall deliver to the other party (i.e., Purchaser or PCA, as the case may be, the “Recipient Party”), written notice thereof, which notice shall include in reasonable detail a description of the proposed registration or underwritten shelf takedown, the number of Company Securities proposed to be registered, the timing of such registration or underwritten shelf takedown, the proposed method and plan of distribution, and the other terms and conditions of such proposed registration or underwritten shelf takedown. If Recipient Party or any of its Affiliates notifies the Noticing Party in writing prior to the expiration of such ten (10) business day period of its desire to also exercise its demand registration rights or initiate such an underwritten shelf takedown pursuant to its registration rights agreement with the Company, the Noticing Party, on the one hand, and Recipient Party and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall each coordinate their respective demand registration rights and underwritten shelf takedowns such that each shall be deemed to be a “demanding” or “initiating” or comparable party pursuant to its respective registration rights agreement with the Company. Each of the Pegasus Group, on the one hand, and Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the other hand, agree that if they both intend to register and/or Transfer securities pursuant to a registration statement of the Company in circumstances in which a managing underwriter has informed the Company that not all of their respective Company Securities so elected may be registered or Transferred, each agrees that it shall only Transfer Company Securities pursuant to such registration statement on a pari passu basis, whether in connection with a demand registration, shelf registration, or piggyback registration.

4. Each party hereto represents that this letter agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such party and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other party hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

5. As used herein, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

6. Any provision of this letter agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of PCA and Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Purchaser of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing by Purchaser and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.

Any party may change the name and address of the designee to whom notice shall be sent by giving written notice of such change to the other party.

8. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this letter agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this letter agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this letter agreement is invalid, void, unenforceable or against regulatory policy, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this letter agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

9. This letter agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, formal or informal, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and (b) shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, except that Purchaser may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) any of Purchaser’s Affiliates to whom the Capital Stock held by Purchaser is Transferred in a Permitted Transfer or (ii) in accordance with clause (y) of Section 1 above. Purchaser’s rights under this agreement shall terminate at such time that it, together with its Affiliates, beneficially owns less than 5.0% of the Company Securities they collectively own as of the date hereof (as calculated on an as converted basis).

10. The parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this letter agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this letter agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

11. This letter agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.

12. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state court located within New Castle County, State of Delaware in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and process. Each party hereto hereby agrees not to commence any legal proceedings relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any jurisdiction or courts other than as provided herein. Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 7 hereof is reasonably calculated to give actual notice.

13. This letter agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including via facsimile and email in PDF format), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

  3. The following section shall be added at the end of Section 2 as a new section, 2.1.5:

Joint Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to a person making a demand for a Demand Registration under either the Riverwood Registration Rights Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable, subsequent to the first Qualified Public Offering, such person shall provide notice (with the information required by Section 2.2 hereof or by Section 3.1(a) of the Riverwood Registration Rights Agreement, respectively), in the case of a demand proposed to be made under the Riverwood Registration Rights Agreement, to the persons with demand registration rights under this Agreement, or, in the case of a demand proposed to be made under this Agreement, to the persons with demand registration rights under the Riverwood Registration Rights Agreement (the persons receiving such notice, the


Recipients” and the persons sending such notice, the “Senders”). Within 10 business days of receiving such notice, the Recipients may give written notice (the “Joint Notice”) to the Senders that the Recipients have chosen that such registration be conducted as a joint demand registration (“Joint Demand Registration”) of both the Riverwood Shares and the Registrable Securities (for purposes of this Section 2.1.5, the “Pegasus Shares”). If the Joint Notice is timely given to the Senders, the Recipients and Senders shall together present a joint demand for a Joint Demand Registration to the Company. A Joint Demand Registration will not count against the maximum number of Demand Registrations permitted by Section 2.1.1. Upon election of a Joint Demand Registration, the Demand Holders (as defined in the Riverwood Registration Rights Agreement) of Riverwood Shares as a group and the Demanding Holders of Pegasus Shares as a group requesting securities to be included on such Joint Demand Registration shall have the right to include an equal number of shares if the offering is underwritten and the managing underwriter or underwriters for the Joint Demand Registration advises that the dollar amount or number of securities requested to be included exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering. For the avoidance of doubt, the Joint Demand shall be considered a Demand Registration of both the Riverwood Shares and the Pegasus Shares, and any shares requested to be included by other holders pursuant to contractual rights would only be included in the registration after all of the requested Pegasus Shares and Riverwood Shares were included in such registration. Selection of counsel for Selling Demanding Holders (as defined in the Riverwood Registration Rights Agreement) of Riverwood Shares and the Demanding Holders of Pegasus Shares shall be a joint decision. Should an Underwritten Shelf Takedown be requested with respect to Riverwood Shares or Pegasus Shares, the rights to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be the same as if it were a demand registration after the first Qualified Public Offering.”

 

  4. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

“Any Pegasus Party may initiate an unlimited number of offerings or sales (which may be underwritten or non-underwritten) of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on Form S-3 (a “Shelf Take-Down”), and with respect to each Shelf Take-Down, each other holder of Registrable Securities included in a Form S-3 shall be entitled to sell their pro rata portion of Registrable Securities that they previously requested be included in such Form S-3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, any Shelf Take-Down that is underwritten (other than a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) will not count as a Demand Registration under Section 2.1.1. If such Shelf Take-Down is a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the non-initiating holders of Registrable Securities and other holders with contractual piggy-back rights will have the right to sell in such Shelf Take-Down their pro rata portion of Registrable Securities that they previously requested be included in such Form S-3 pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions applicable to Piggy-Back Registrations as set forth in Section 2.2. If such Shelf Take-Down is a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, none of the non-initiating holders of Registrable Securities nor any other person will have the right to sell in such Shelf Take-Down any of the Registrable Securities they previously had requested be included on such Shelf Registration Statement.”


  5. The following shall be added as the new Section 6, and the existing Section 6 shall be renumbered as Section 7:

 

  “6. Holdback Agreements.

6.1 No holder of Registrable Securities shall sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) (a “Sale Transaction”) of any Equity Securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any such Equity Securities, during the seven (7) day period prior to and the 180 day period beginning on the effective date of the Company’s initial Qualified Public Offering (or such shorter period of time as is sufficient and appropriate, in the sole discretion of the managing Underwriter) (the “QPO Holdback Period”), except as part of such Qualified Public Offering provided, that the following persons are restricted in the same manner and for the same duration (A)(i) all of the Company’s affiliates and executive officers and all of the members of the Board of Directors, and (ii) the holders of Riverwood Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees, and (B) if such persons are selling stockholders in the Company’s initial Qualified Public Offering, (i) the holders of Home Depot Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees and (ii) the holders of Geveran Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees thereof, in each such case. In connection with any underwritten registrations (other than the initial Qualified Public Offering), no holder of Registrable Securities shall effect any such Sale Transaction during the seven (7) day period prior to and the 90 day period beginning on the effective date of such offering (or such shorter period of time as is sufficient and appropriate, in the sole discretion of the managing Underwriter) (each, a “Following Holdback Period”); provided, that the following persons are restricted in the same manner and for the same duration (A) (i) all of the Company’s affiliates and executive officers and all of the members of the Board of Directors, and (ii) the holders of Riverwood Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees, and (B) if such persons are selling stockholders in the underwritten public offering (other than the initial Qualified Public Offering), (i) the holders of Home Depot Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees and (ii) the holders of Geveran Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees thereof, in each such case. If (i) the Company issues an earnings release or other material news or a material event relating to the Company and its subsidiaries occurs, in either case during the last 17 days of the QPO Holdback Period or any Following Holdback Period (as applicable) or (ii) prior to the expiration of the QPO Holdback Period or any Following Holdback Period (as applicable), the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16 day period beginning upon the expiration of such period, then to the extent necessary for a managing or co managing Underwriter of a registered offering required hereunder to comply with NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) (or any successor rule), the QPO Holdback Period or any Following Holdback Period (as applicable) shall be extended until 18 days after the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or event, as the case may be (such period referred to herein as the “Holdback Extension”); provided, that the following persons are restricted in the same manner and for the same duration: (A)(i) all of the Company’s affiliates and executive officers and all of the members of the Board of Directors, and (ii) the holders of Riverwood Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees, and (B) if such persons are


selling stockholders in the applicable underwritten offering, (i) the holders of Home Depot Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees and (ii) the holders of Geveran Shares and any successors, assigns and transferees thereof, in each such case. The Company shall promptly notify the Pegasus Parties of any earnings release, news or event that may give rise to a Holdback Extension. Subject to the provisos included in this Section 6.1, the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Equity Securities (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such period, including any period of Holdback Extension.

6.2 The Company (a) shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its Equity Securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven (7) day period prior to and during such period of time as may be determined by the Underwriters managing the underwritten registration following the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration, a Joint Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggy-Back Registration (not to exceed 180 days in connection with the Company’s initial Qualified Public Offering or 90 days in all other cases, except in each case as extended during the period of any Holdback Extension), except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S–8 or any successor form and unless the Underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree in writing, and (b) shall take commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of at least 1% of its Equity Securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Equity Securities, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such securities during such period (as extended by any Holdback Extension), except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted, unless the Underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree in writing.”
