REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE

 

13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019

 

This Amended and Restated Note is one of $114,760,000 aggregate initial principal amount of 13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019 issued by the Issuer on or prior to December 26, 2015 (the “Notes”), which, together with all PIK Notes issued from time to time and all 13.0% Second-Lien Convertible PIK Notes Due 2019 issued in connection with transfers, exchanges or otherwise as permitted by the terms hereof, form a single class of securities (the “Securities”) for all purposes, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, impose certain limitations (set forth herein and in each other Security) on Holdings, the Issuer and their respective Subsidiaries. “Subsidiary” refers, with respect to any Person (the “parent”), any corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, association or other entity (i) the accounts of which would be consolidated with those of the parent in the parent’s consolidated financial statements if such financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis (“GAAP”) as of such date, (ii) the securities of which or other ownership interests representing more than 50% of the equity or more than 50% of the ordinary voting power, or in the case of a partnership, more than 50% of the general partnership interests are, as of such date, owned, controlled or held, or (iii) that is, as of such date, otherwise controlled, by the parent or one or more subsidiaries of the parent or by the parent and one or more subsidiaries of the parent. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “Subsidiary” hereunder shall mean a Subsidiary of Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, MeiraGTx Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales, shall not be considered a “Subsidiary” hereunder.

 

The aggregate principal amount of Securities, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of all outstanding Securities, including all PIK Notes issued at or prior to such date of determination, at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders (as defined below) of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Securities. “Holder” refers to a Person in whose name a Security is registered.

 

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or other action, Securities owned by Holdings, the Issuer, the Guarantors or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with Holdings, the Issuer or the Guarantors shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding. Only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination.

 

Terms used but not otherwise defined in the Securities shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Agreement, as amended to the date hereof. Any reference to “Borrower” in the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to “Issuer” for purposes of this Amended and Restated Note.

 

1. This Amended and Restated Note; the Notes; the Securities

 

(a)                The Securities are issued as registered notes without coupons in minimum denominations of $50,000, and increments of $5,000 in excess thereof, except as may be necessary to (1) reflect any PIK Interest (as defined herein) or (2) enable the registration of transfer by a Holder of its entire holding of Securities. The Issuer shall keep at its principal office a register (the “Register”) in which the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. No transfer of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, may be effected unless a valid transfer instruction in the form attached to each of the Securities (the “Transfer Instruction”), including this Amended and Restated Note, is delivered to the Issuer as provided in this Section 1. If the Issuer determines in good faith that a Transfer Instruction is not valid, it shall within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof notify the Holder submitting such Transfer Instruction of the defect (a “Defect Notice”). In the absence of a Defect Notice, any transfer shall be deemed to be effective at the end of the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of a Transfer Instruction. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Issuer and the Holders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded (or deemed to be recorded) in the

 

6



 

Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

 

(b)                The Register shall be available for inspection by the Holder of any Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Amended and Restated Note shall be transferred only by surrendering this Amended and Restated Note to the Issuer and having a new Security or Securities reissued to the transferee.

 

(c)                 This Amended and Restated Note may be transferred to any transferee pursuant to a Transfer Instruction; provided that (i) such transfer shall be made in compliance with the restrictive legend on the face of this Amended and Restated Note, the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws, (ii) such transfer shall be in compliance with Section 11 hereof and this Section 1, (iii) such transfer shall be in compliance with the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Holdings, dated as of June 27, 2014 (as amended, “Holdings’ LLC Agreement”) as amended to the date hereof (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Securities shall be considered Membership Interests (as defined in Holdings’ LLC Agreement) for purposes of the transfer restrictions contained therein) and (iv) such transfer shall be in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be the then outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note). The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note and its transferee shall deliver to the Issuer an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, and/or any additional documentation that the Issuer may reasonably require in connection with any transfer of this Amended and Restated Note. Upon any transfer pursuant to a Transfer Instruction, the transferee shall, to the extent of such transfer, be entitled to exercise the rights of the Holder making such transfer and shall thereafter be deemed a “Holder” under this Amended and Restated Note for all purposes.

 

(d)                Upon surrender of this Amended and Restated Note for registration of transfer in the Register, the Issuer shall execute and deliver one or more new Securities of like tenor and of the principal amount transferred, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees and, if applicable, a new Security of like tenor to the transferor and of principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note remaining following such transfer. Any purported transfer of this Amended and Restated Note, or any portion hereof, to a transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in this Amended and Restated Note will be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(e)                 If surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, this Amended and Restated Note must be duly endorsed and be accompanied by a written Transfer Instruction duly executed, by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing. Any Securities issued in exchange for this Amended and Restated Note or upon transfer hereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by this Amended and Restated Note, so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange. Upon receipt of written notice from the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Amended and Restated Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such Holder’s indemnity agreement satisfactory to the Issuer, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of this Amended and Restated Note, the Issuer will make and deliver a new Security, of like tenor and principal amount, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

(f)                  If this Amended and Restated Note is transferred to the Issuer, Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings pursuant to this Section 1, this Amended and Restated Note shall for all purposes be deemed to be automatically and immediately cancelled and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder.

 

(g)                 In connection with any proposed transfer of this Amended and Restated Note from time to time, Holdings and the Issuer each covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and to cause their respective Subsidiaries to cooperate, with the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note by (i) if at the time of such proposed transfer, neither Holdings nor the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), providing, upon request, customary information satisfying the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, (ii) facilitating any such transfers by making appropriate entry on the Register in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1, and (iii) providing such other ministerial items reasonably requested by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note.

 

7



 

(h)                Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of this Amended and Restated Note, references to the “principal amount” of this Amended and Restated Note (and references to the “principal amount” of the Notes or the Securities) include any increase or accretion in principal amount hereof or thereof, including as a result of the payment of PIK Interest (as defined herein) or Partial PIK Interest (as defined herein). The issuance of PIK Notes (as defined herein) and/or the increase in the principal amount of any Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, as a result of PIK Interest or Partial PIK Interest will be reflected in the Register by the Issuer on the date of such issuance and/or increase.

 

2. Interest

 

(a)                Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note and on the principal amount of each other Security on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth herein, to the Holder of record of this Amended and Restated Note or such other Security, as applicable, at the close of business on the regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, commencing on [October 1, 2015/April 1, 2016].

 

(b)                This Amended and Restated Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal hereof from and including the Original Issue Date through but excluding the date on which such principal is paid (whether upon final maturity, by prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Amended and Restated Note) at a rate equal to 13.0% per annum (subject to any increases in accordance with the following sentence, the “Interest Rate”). If a Qualified IPO, as defined below, has not been consummated on or before March 31, 2016, the Interest Rate applicable to all Securities shall automatically increase as of, and including, April 1, 2016 by an additional 300 basis points and the Interest Rate shall subsequently increase by an additional 300 basis points as of each October 1 and April 1, inclusive, until the Interest Rate equals 21.0% per annum (the “Maximum Interest Rate”), which shall remain the applicable Interest Rate for all Securities so long as any Securities remain outstanding. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the Holders of the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, would be contrary to the provisions of any applicable law limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for or received by such Holders, and in such event the Issuer shall pay such Holder interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Interest Rate otherwise payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Issuer shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by such Holders is equal to the total interest that would have been received by such Holders had the Interest Rate hereunder been payable without regard for the limitation imposed by this sentence.

 

(c)                 The Issuer may, at its option, elect to pay interest due on this Amended and Restated Note on any Interest Payment Date: (i) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”) on such date; (ii) entirely by increasing the principal of this Amended and Restated Note or by issuing additional Securities in certificated form (“PIK Notes”) with the same rights and benefits as this Amended and Restated Note (“PIK Interest”) on such date; or (iii) partially in cash and partially by increasing the principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note or by issuing PIK Notes (“Partial PIK Interest”) on such date. In each case, PIK Interest shall be rounded up to the nearest $1.00. PIK Notes, if any are issued, will be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and will bear interest from and after such date at the then applicable Interest Rate. All PIK Notes issued pursuant to a payment of PIK Interest will mature on the Maturity Date and will be governed by, and subject to, the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in such PIK Notes, which shall be identical to the provisions and conditions set forth in this Amended and Restated Note in all material respects. PIK Notes will be issued with the description “PIK” on the face of such PIK Note certificates.

 

(d)                Unless the Issuer otherwise notifies the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note at least three (3) Business Days prior to any Interest Payment Date, interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable entirely in PIK Interest, which PIK Interest shall be paid, at the option of the Issuer, by (A) the issuance of certificated PIK Notes on such Interest Payment Date or (B) by the increase in the outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note in the amount of such PIK Interest on such Interest Payment Date. If no PIK Notes are delivered on an Interest Payment Date, (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Amended and Restated Note will be automatically increased by the Issuer in the amount of such PIK Interest on such Interest Payment Date and

 

8



 

such increase shall be reflected in the Register on such Interest Payment Date and (ii) the Issuer shall notify the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note of such increase promptly thereafter.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the Interest Rate borne by this Amended and Restated Note, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same Interest Rate to the extent lawful. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on this Amended and Restated Note, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by this Amended and Restated Note (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner.

 

(f)              Any amounts due or otherwise payable in respect of Securities on the Maturity Date shall be payable entirely in cash.

 

(g)                 Interest on the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Original Issue Date or, in the case of PIK Notes, from the date of their original issuance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

3. Method of Payment; Tax Forms

 

(a)                The Issuer shall pay interest on the Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, (except defaulted interest) to the Person who is the registered Holder at the close of business on September 15 or March 15 (each, a “Record Date”), whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date even if this Amended and Restated Note is canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on any amount that would have been otherwise payable on such payment date if it were a Business Day for the intervening period. Each Holder of a Security must surrender such Security to the Issuer to collect principal payable on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)                The Issuer shall pay any defaulted interest with respect to a Security to the Holder of such Security on a subsequent special record date. No payment of defaulted interest may be made with respect to a Security unless a concurrent payment of defaulted interest is made on a pro rata basis to the Holders of all Securities for which defaulted interest is then payable. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date, which shall be a date no later than 15 days following the commencement of accrual of the defaulted interest, and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of the Securities a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid to Holders of Securities.

 

(c)                 The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, any cash interest, if elected, and all other monetary obligations payable hereunder, in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Cash payments in respect of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, (including principal, cash interest (if elected) and all other monetary obligations payable in cash) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account maintained with a bank in the United States specified in writing to the Issuer by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note on the Original Issue Date (the “Cash Payment Account”). The Holder of this Amended and Restated Note may change the applicable Cash Payment Account by giving written notice to the Issuer to such effect designating such new account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant payment date (or such other date as the Issuer may accept in its sole discretion).

 

(d)                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any redemption of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, as described under Section 5 hereof or in connection with any repurchase of Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall be made solely in cash.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable hereunder, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law.  If the Issuer withholds any such amounts, the amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid hereunder.

 

9



 

(f)                  On or before the date on which a Person becomes a Holder hereunder, such Person shall deliver to the Issuer (i) a properly completed applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8 (together with appropriate attachments and, if applicable, a certificate(s) establishing that such Person is entitled to an exemption for portfolio interest under Code Section 881(c) and/or Code Section 871(h)). The Holder shall also provide the foregoing documentation promptly upon reasonable demand by the Issuer and promptly upon learning that any form previously provided by the Holder has become obsolete or incorrect.

 

4. Conversion

 

(a)                Upon the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering of Equity Interests of Holdings (or a successor entity) in which (i) such Equity Interests are listed on a national securities exchange and (ii) combined primary and secondary gross proceeds of such offering equal not less than $50.0 million (such public offering, a “Qualified IPO”), Securities, including this Amended and Restated Note, shall be converted into Class A Units of Holdings (the “Conversion Units”), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and the Issuer shall cause Holdings to issue such Conversion Units. Conversion Units issued pursuant to this Section 4 shall have the rights, preferences and privileges of Class A Units of Holdings, as set forth in Holdings’ LLC Agreement. If Class A Units of Holdings are converted into other Equity Interests (“Conversion Equity Interests”) in connection with any conversion of Holdings into a Delaware corporation (whether by conversion, merger, consolidation or otherwise), then all references herein to Conversion Units and/or Class A Units of Holdings shall be understood to refer to such Conversion Equity Interests.

 

(b)                Upon the due conversion of any principal amount of a Security, including this Amended and Restated Note, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon or hereon, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4 and the issuance of the applicable Conversion Units to the Holder of such Security in accordance with this Section 4, such principal amount of such Security and such accrued interest thereon so converted shall be deemed paid in full and no longer outstanding.

 

(c)                 The number of Conversion Units into which a Security shall be converted shall equal the aggregate principal amount of such Security, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of the time of conversion divided by the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Rate”). The “Conversion Price” shall be equal to: the product of (x) 80% and (y) the price per Class A Unit of Holdings (or the price per share of common stock of the corporate successor to Holdings, if applicable) offered in a Qualified IPO; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be capped at $12.00 (the “Conversion Price Cap”). The Conversion Price Cap (for Adjustment Events occurring prior to a Qualified IPO) shall be subject to proportionate adjustment for any equity split, equity combination, in-kind distribution, recapitalization or similar transaction that affects the economic rights of the Conversion Units (“Adjustment Events”).

 

(d)                Within five (5) business days of a Qualified IPO, each Holder shall deliver to Holdings the Security certificate, duly endorsed, or an affidavit of loss, including provisions indemnifying Holdings with respect to such loss, and otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to Holdings, at the address specified by Holdings pursuant to Section 21 hereof together with a notice (the “Conversion Notice”). which shall state the name or names in which the Conversion Units issuable upon conversion of such Security are to be issued; provided, that if the Conversion Units are to be issuable in the name of any Person other than the Holder of such Conversion Units, the transfer requirements set forth in Section 1(c) must first be satisfied.  In addition, the Conversion Notice shall state that the Holder agrees, effective as of the date thereof, (i) to become a party to the Holdings LLC Agreement as a member (or, if applicable, a party to the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction in a similar capacity), (ii) to be bound by all terms, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties under the Holdings LLC Agreement (or, if applicable, under the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction) and (iii) that for all purposes of the Holdings LLC Agreement, the undersigned shall be included within the term member (or, if applicable, as a party to the shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction in a similar capacity).  The Holder shall also acknowledge in the Conversion Notice that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Holdings LLC Agreement or shareholders agreement or stockholders agreement entered into by all equity holders of Holdings following the Incorporation Transaction, as applicable. Holdings shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver to each recipient of such Conversion Units, a statement that sets forth, as of the most recent date practicable, such recipient’s ownership interest in Holdings. Any conversion pursuant to this Section 4

 

10



 

shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the completion of a Qualified IPO, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Units issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Conversion Units as of such date.  Issuer shall cause Holdings to take all actions required to effect the conversion described in this Section 4.

 

(e)                 The Issuer shall not be responsible for the payment of any Taxes in respect of the issue or delivery of the Conversion Units pursuant hereto other than any and all stamp, excise or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of such issuance or delivery.

 

(f)                  Each Holder, to the extent such Holder is not already a party to a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriters in a Qualified IPO (the “Representatives”) with substantially the same terms as those contained in this Section 4(f), hereby agrees that in connection with the conversion of its Securities upon the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Holder or any affiliate of the Holder), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period from the date of the filing with the Commission of Holdings’ registration statement relating to such Qualified IPO through 180 days after the date of the underwriting agreement relating thereto (the “Lock-up Period”).  It shall be a condition to any transfer of any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units during the period  from the date hereof until the commencement of the Lock-up Period, that each recipient of such securities agrees in writing to be bound by the same restrictions in place for the Holder pursuant to this Section 4(f) for the duration that such restrictions remain in effect at the time of transfer.

 

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (A) Conversion Units disposed of as bona fide gifts, including as a result of the operation of law, including pursuant to a domestic order or a negotiated divorce settlement, or estate or intestate succession; (B) if the Holder is a natural person, transfers of Conversion Units to (i) the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the Holder (for purpose of this Section 4(f), “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), (ii) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, and/or charitable organizations or (iii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the Holder and the immediate family of the Holder are the direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all the outstanding equity securities or similar interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity; (C) if the Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, transfers of Conversion Units to (i) any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or any affiliate, wholly-owned subsidiary, limited partner, member or stockholder of the Holder, (ii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the Holder and any affiliate, wholly-owned subsidiary, limited partner, member or stockholder of the Holder are the direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all the outstanding equity securities or similar interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, or (iii) partners, members or shareholders of the Holder; (D) transfers of Conversion Units to the Holder’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the Holder; and (E) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Conversion Units, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Conversion Units during the Lock-up Period and, other than any filing required to be made pursuant to Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act after the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public announcement of the establishment or existence of such plan and no filing with the Commission or other regulatory authority in respect of such plan or transactions thereunder or contemplated thereby, by the Holder, Holdings or any other person, shall be made by the Holder, Holdings or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period; provided, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (C)(i)-(iii) or clause (D), such transfers shall not involve a disposition for value; provided further, however, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (A), (B), (C) or (D), it shall be a condition to such transfer that (i) each recipient of Conversion Units agrees in writing to be bound by the same restrictions in place for the Holder pursuant to this letter for the duration that such restrictions remain in effect at the time of transfer and (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer

(donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Conversion Units in connection with such transfer.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by this Section 4(f), the Holder may, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) (A) exercise an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdings (or any corporate successor) (“Common Stock”) granted under any equity incentive plan, stock option plan, stock bonus plan or stock purchase plan of Holdings in effect at the time of a Qualified IPO and disclosed in the prospectus therefor (the “Prospectus”), (B) exercise any warrants outstanding at the time of a Qualified IPO and disclosed in the Prospectus or (C) convert any loans, notes, or debt (“Convertible Securities”), provided that, in the case of clauses (i)(A), (i)(B) and (i)(C), the underlying shares of Common Stock shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4(f), and provided, further that, except as permitted below, if the Holder is required to make a filing under the Exchange Act, the Holder shall include a statement in such report to the effect that the report relates to the exercise of a stock option or warrant or conversion of any Convertible Security, that no shares of Common Stock were sold by the reporting person and that the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the stock option or warrant or conversion of any Convertible Security are subject to restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter agreement and (ii) transfer, sell or dispose of shares of Common Stock acquired on the open market following the Offering, provided that no filing under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer, sale or disposition pursuant to this clause (ii) during the Lock-up Period, and (iii) transfer shares of Common Stock (A) to pay taxes (including estimated taxes) of the Holder in connection with the vesting or exercise of equity awards by the Holder pursuant to Holdings’ equity incentive, stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement described in the Prospectus, (B) pursuant to a net exercise or cashless exercise by the Holder of outstanding equity awards pursuant to Holdings’ equity incentive, stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement, provided that any Shares acquired upon the net exercise or cashless exercise of equity awards described in clause (iii)(B) shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this letter agreement; provided further, that no filing under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or disposition pursuant to this clause (iii) during the Lock-up Period.

 

In the event that during the Lock-up Period, the Representatives waive any prohibition on the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock with respect to any officer or director of Holdings or any holder of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, the Representatives shall be deemed to have also waived, on the same terms, the prohibitions set forth in this Section 4(f) that would otherwise have applied to the Holder with respect to the same percentage of the Holder’s Conversion Units or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units as the relative percentage of aggregate Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held by such party receiving the waiver that are subject to such waiver.  The provisions of this paragraph will not apply: (1) unless and until the Representatives have first waived more than 1.0% of Holdings’ total outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion, exercise and exchange of all securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock) from such prohibitions or (2) (a) if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not involving a disposition for value and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Section 4(f) to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.  In the event that any percentage of such Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock released from the prohibitions set forth in this Section 4(f) are subject to any restrictions of the type set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4(f), the same restrictions shall be applicable to the release of the same percentage of the Holder’s Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units. In the event that, as a result of this paragraph, any Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units by the Holder are released from the restrictions imposed by this Section 4(f), Holdings, in consultation with the Representatives, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Holder within two business days of notification by the Representatives of such release that the same percentage of aggregate Conversion Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Conversion Units held by the Holder has been released; provided that the failure to give such notice to Holdings or the Holder shall not give rise to any claim or liability against Holdings or the underwriters in the Qualified IPO.

 

The terms of this Section 4(f) shall only be effective so long as equityholders of Holdings identified by the managing underwriters are entering into substantially the same lock-up agreements for an identical (or longer) term. The provisions of this Section 4(f) shall not apply to the sale of any Conversion Units to an underwriter

 

12



 

pursuant to an underwriting agreement.  The underwriters in connection with a Qualified IPO are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(f) and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.  In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Holdings may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Conversion Units of each Holder until the end of such period.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4(f) shall survive the conversion of this Amended and Restated Note into Conversion Units.  The Holder further agrees to execute an agreement with the Representatives reflecting the foregoing, the terms of any agreement executed with the Representatives (whether prior to or after the date of this Amended and Restated Note) to supersede all of the terms of this Section 4(f).

 

5. Redemption

(f)                  At least 30 but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to this Section 5, the Issuer shall deliver a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Securities. Such notice shall be irrevocable.

(g)                 Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 5(f), then, subject to satisfying any conditions precedent specified in such notice, Securities called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Issuer, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to the Holders whose Securities will be subject to redemption by the Issuer. Failure to deliver the redemption notice or any defect in the redemption notice delivered to any Holder of Securities shall not affect the validity of the redemption notice to any other Holder of Securities. With respect to any Securities called for redemption, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall segregate and hold in trust money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date.

In such event, the Securities Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Securities Documents such additional Equity Interests and other securities.

(B) enforce any of the terms of the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party; or

 

(C) collect and receive payment of any and all obligations in respect of the Securities or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and empowered by the Holder of this Amended and Restated Note, together with the Holder of each Security, (by its acceptance hereof) to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem reasonably expedient to protect or enforce the Liens securing the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement or the Securities Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Securities Documents or the Securities, and such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably expedient, at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of the Securities in the Collateral, including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the second priority Liens securing the Securities and/or the Guarantees under the Guaranty and Security Agreement or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities or the Collateral Agent.

 

(j)                                    Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Securities Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Intercreditor Agreement defines the relative rights of Liens granted to the Holders of Securities and the Liens granted in favor of the Control Agent and the Convertible Credit Facility Agent to secure the Indebtedness under the Non-Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents and the Convertible Credit Facility Loan Documents, respectively. In the event of any

 

36



 

conflict or inconsistency among the provisions of the Securities or the Securities Documents (other than the Intercreditor Agreement), on the one hand, and the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

 

(l)                                     Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, (a) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement solely to act for the benefit of such Holder. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities to extend credit and such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

16. No Recourse Against Others

 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator of Holdings, Issuer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and no holder of any Equity Interests in Holdings or any direct or indirect parent thereof, as such, shall have any liability for any Obligations or any Guaranteed Obligations or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.

EACH OF HOLDINGS, THE ISSUER, AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE, OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Each Investor represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as set forth below.

 

4.1                               No Public Sale or Distribution.

 

The Investor is acquiring the Common Stock (excluding the Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)) and the Preferred Stock for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in a manner that would violate the Securities Act or the “Blue Sky” laws of any state of the United States or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Investor does not agree to hold any of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

 

4.2                               Investor Status.

 

The Investor is one of the following: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act; (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIB”); or (iii) a non-”U.S. person” (as defined under Regulation S) that is purchasing the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock in an “offshore transaction” (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with Regulation S and with laws applicable to such persons in jurisdictions outside of the United States.

 

4.3                               Transfer or Resale.

 

The Investor understands that: (i) the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock (and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and (in the case of the Preferred Stock) will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law; and (ii) the Investor agrees that if it decides to offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of the Common Stock, Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, such securities may be offered, sold or otherwise transferred only: (A) to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) pursuant to a registration statement which has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (C) for so long as such securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a Person it reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (D) pursuant to Regulation S, (E) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is acquiring such securities for its own account, or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act, (F) pursuant to an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or (G) pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other available exemption from

the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges that Holdings reserves the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer pursuant to clause (E), (F) or (G) in the immediately preceding sentence to require the delivery of opinions of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to Holdings in its reasonable discretion. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that (i) a restrictive legend to the effect of the foregoing may be placed on the certificates representing the Common Stock and Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of Holdings indicating that such Common Stock and Preferred Stock is subject to restrictions on transfer and, if Holdings should at some time in the future engage the services of a stock transfer agent, appropriate stop transfer restrictions will be issued to such stock transfer agent, and (iii) such Common Stock and Preferred Stock may be subject to additional transfer restrictions to the extent provided in any lock-up agreement between the Investor and the managing underwriters for the Holdings IPO. In connection with any transfer of the Preferred Shares by the Investor to an Affiliate of the Investor, the Investor shall provide written notice to the Company that the transferee is an Affiliate of the Investor and specify the number of Preferred Shares so transferred and such transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, agree that upon any transfer by it to an Affiliate of such transferee it shall deliver written notice to the Company of the Affiliate status of such transferee and the number of Preferred Shares so transferred.

(a)                                 Either (i) the Investor is not purchasing or holding the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock (or any interest in such securities) with the assets of (A) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), (B) a plan, individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), (C) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any of the foregoing by reason of such plan’s, account’s or arrangement’s investment in such entity, or (D) a governmental, church, non-U.S. or other plan that is subject to any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws, or rules or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or

 

7



 

the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”); or (ii) the purchase and holding of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock by the Investor, throughout the period that it holds such securities, and the disposition of such securities or an interest therein will not constitute (i) a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) a violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

 

(b)                                 Each Investor acknowledges that Holdings will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consents to such reliance.

5.2                               Restrictive Legends.

 

Except with respect to any “control” securities (as such term is understood with respect to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), at the earliest possible time when such legend is no longer required pursuant to applicable law but in any event no later than the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, Holdings shall remove any restrictive legend on the certificates representing the Common Stock and Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

 

5.3                               Board Matters.

 

(a)                                 From the date of this Agreement and for so long as GoldenTree Asset Management LP and its affiliates (collectively, “GTAM”) collectively beneficially own at least 7.5% of the then-outstanding Common Stock (taking into account (a) the exercise of all other options, warrants and other equity-linked securities held by GTAM and (b) the conversion of the Preferred Stock held by GTAM) (such amount, the “Threshold Amount”), GTAM will have the right, at its option, to designate one (1) director to the Board (the “GTAM Designee”) or one (1) observer to the Board (the “GTAM Observer”) (provided that such GTAM Designee is acceptable to Holdings in the good faith reasonable discretion of the Board) by providing notice to the Company naming the GTAM Designee or GTAM Observer.

 

(b)                                 For so long as GTAM beneficially owns at least the Threshold Amount, within 2 business days’ of GTAM providing notice to Holdings naming a GTAM Designee, Holdings shall and shall cause the Board and any applicable committee or subcommittee of the Board to take all corporate action necessary to appoint the GTAM

 

8


 

Designee to the Board as of the date that is 2 business days after the date of GTAM providing such notice, in each case with a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (the “Stockholders Meeting”). For so long as GTAM beneficially owns at least the Threshold Amount, Holdings shall and shall cause the Board and any applicable committee or subcommittee of the Board to (i) include the GTAM Designee (or any GTAM Replacement Designee (as defined below)) as a nominee for election to the Board on the slate of nominees recommended by the Board and any applicable committee or subcommittee of the Board in Holdings’ proxy statement and on its proxy card relating to the Stockholders Meeting, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the election of the GTAM Designee to the Board at any Stockholders Meeting, including by recommending that Holdings’ stockholders vote in favor of the GTAM Designee and otherwise supporting the GTAM Designee in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which Holdings supports the Board’s other nominees to the Board and (iii) appoint the GTAM Designee (or GTAM Replacement Designee) to each committee and subcommittee of the Board (including any such committee and subcommittee which may subsequently be created) on which such person desires to serve, subject to applicable restrictions under the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. For so long as GTAM beneficially owns at least the Threshold Amount, if the GTAM Designee (or any GTAM Replacement Designee) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director (including as the result of a failure to receive the requisite vote at a Stockholders Meeting) or is removed as a director, then GTAM shall have the ability to designate a substitute designee (a “GTAM Replacement Designee”) to fill such vacancy created by the departure of the GTAM Designee by providing notice to Holdings, and Holdings shall and shall cause the Board and any applicable committee or subcommittee of the Board to take all corporate action necessary to appoint the GTAM Replacement Designee to the Board as of the date that is 2 business days after the date of GTAM providing such notice, in each case with a term expiring at the Stockholders Meeting. Each GTAM Designee or GTAM Replacement Designee that serves as a member of the Board (or committee or subcommittee of the Board) shall have the same rights and benefits, including with respect to insurance, indemnification, exculpation, compensation and fees, as are applicable to all independent directors of Holdings (or, in the case of services as a member of a committee or subcommittee of Holdings, as are applicable to the other members of such committee or subcommittee). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, GTAM shall not have the right to have a GTAM Designee included in the Board’s slate nominated for election to the Board if the election of such GTAM Designee would cause more than one representative of GTAM to be serving on the Board.

 

(c)                                  The GTAM Observer shall be entitled to (i) attend (in person, telephonically or by such other means as is normally available to members of the Board) all meetings (both regular and special) of the Board and each committee and subcommittee of the Board (including executive or similar sessions), in a nonvoting capacity only, (ii) receive written notice of, and agendas for, all meetings (both regular and special) of the Board and each committee and subcommittee of the Board (including proposed minutes of previous meetings if not previously ratified) at the same time as members of the Board receive such notice and agendas, (iii) if the Board or any committee or subcommittee of the Board proposes to take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, receive (A) a draft of such written consent at the same time and in the same manner as if the GTAM

 

9



 

Observer were a member of the Board or such committee or subcommittee of the Board and (B) a copy of such written consent when sent to members of the Board or such committee or subcommittee of the Board for execution and (iv) receive all other documents, notices, presentations, minutes, reports, consents, resolutions and written materials provided to members of the Board and each committee and subcommittee of the Board. The GTAM Observer may contact any member of the Board and each committee and subcommittee of the Board to discuss pending actions and any other matters in such body’s discretion. The GTAM Observer shall not be deemed a director of Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, the GTAM Observer shall not (i) have voting rights or the right to participate in any action by written consent, (ii) have the right to call special meetings of the Board, nor (iii) be counted for purposes of determining the size of the Board or whether a quorum has been obtained. Holdings shall pay the GTAM Observer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable cost of airfare, meals and lodging) in connection with the GTAM Observer’s in-person attendance at such meetings. For so long as GTAM beneficially owns at least the Threshold Amount, in the event that the GTAM Observer is unable or unwilling to attend any meetings of the Board or any committee or subcommittee thereof as set forth in this section, or GTAM wishes to replace the GTAM Observer, GTAM may designate an alternate observer by providing notice to the Company (the “Alternate Observer”). The term “GTAM Observer” herein shall also refer to any Alternate Observer that is actually attending any meeting of the Board or any committee or subcommittee thereof in the place of the applicable GTAM Observer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Holdings reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude the GTAM Observer from the portion of any meeting (i) to the extent that the access to such information or attendance at such portion of any meeting violates the attorney-client privilege between Holdings and its counsel in respect of any investigation, action or proceeding involving Holdings or any of its affiliates (it being understood that Holdings cannot exercise its right to withhold information and/or exclude the GTAM Observer upon the mere presence of Holdings’ legal counsel at a meeting), as determined by counsel for Holdings, or (ii) any portion of any meeting or information at which or in which the obligations of Holdings (or any of its affiliates) under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), or any other obligations of Holdings (or any of its affiliates) to GTAM, are discussed. Holdings shall provide the GTAM Observer with redacted information to the extent the foregoing sentence applies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the GTAM Observer (or Alternate Observer) shall not be entitled to attend any meeting or receive any notice or other information pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) unless and until such person has entered into a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that a Redemption Event is the occurrence of a Material Breach, such Redemption Event shall constitute a Redemption Event solely with respect to the holder(s) of Preferred Shares to which the Materially Breached obligations of the Corporation under the Exchange Agreement were owed for purposes of determining the amount such holder(s) of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4(a) before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Shares.

 

(e)                                  In the event that the Redemption Event giving rise to the determination of the amount which holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4(a) is a failure of the Corporation to make any payment of principal, interest, or other amount due and payable of any Indebtedness of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries after giving effect to any applicable cure period, such Redemption Event shall be deemed never to have occurred if, subsequent to the expiration of the cure period, (i) such failure to make payment is cured in full, (ii) all other obligations to pay principal, interest or other amounts due and payable of any Indebtedness of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries have been paid at such time and (iii) no Bankruptcy Event has occurred.

 

5.                                      Redemption.

 

(a)                                 The Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable except (i) upon a Bankruptcy Event, (ii) upon the occurrence of a Material Breach and (iii) upon the Corporation’s failure to make any payment of principal, interest, or other amount due and payable of any Indebtedness of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries after giving effect to any applicable cure period (each of the events described in clauses (i) through (iii) whether or not the Preferred Shares are redeemed, a “Redemption Event”). Subject to Section 5(d) below, in the event of a Redemption Event, the holders of Preferred Shares shall, in their sole discretion, be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Stated Liquidation Preference Amount plus any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon from the last Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of such redemption plus the Premium (the “Redemption Price”). The foregoing amounts shall be subject to equitable adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event involving a

 

13



 

change in the Preferred Shares. Notice of any Redemption Event shall be given by the Corporation by mail, postage prepaid, and in a press release provided to the major wire services, not later than the first Business Day after the Corporation acquires knowledge of such event or circumstance, to each holder of record of Preferred Shares appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice at the address of said holder shown therein (a “Redemption Event Notice”), which notice shall state that (1) all Preferred Shares tendered prior to the deadline specified in clause (3) below will be accepted for payment on the Redemption Date; (2) the Redemption Price and the date of redemption, which shall be no sooner than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Redemption Date”); and (3) any holder of Preferred Shares electing to have any Preferred Shares redeemed pursuant to Section 5(a) shall be required to surrender its Preferred Shares, with a notice entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Redemption” in the form attached as Annex A to this Certificate of Designations (the “Redemption Notice”), to the Corporation prior to the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.  If the Corporation fails to provide a Redemption Event Notice within the time period specified in this Section 5(a), then any holder of Preferred Shares may deliver such notice to the Corporation and the other holders of Preferred Shares, in which event the Redemption Date shall occur on the 45th day after the date of such notice and any holder of Preferred Shares electing to have any Preferred Shares redeemed pursuant to Section 5(a) shall be required to surrender the Preferred Shares, with a Redemption Notice, to the Corporation prior to the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

 

(b)                                 In order to exercise the foregoing redemption right, a holder of Preferred Shares shall send a completed Redemption Notice to the Corporation stating the number of Preferred Shares such holder wishes to cause to be redeemed and the address to which payment of the Redemption Price shall be delivered. The holder of Preferred Shares shall include with the Redemption Notice the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares to be redeemed duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank. The Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price to such holder on the Redemption Date. If fewer than all the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate delivered to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(b) are to be redeemed pursuant to a Redemption Notice, upon such partial redemption the Corporation shall (or shall cause a transfer agent for the Preferred Shares to) also issue and deliver to the holder of Preferred Shares a new certificate representing the Preferred Shares not so redeemed.  Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price therefor, all Preferred Shares accepted for redemption pursuant to Section 5(a) shall cease to accumulate dividends after the Redemption Date.

 

(c)                                  Until the holders of the Preferred Shares who have delivered a Redemption Notice have been paid the amount specified in Section 5(a) in full, no payment will be made to any holder of Parity Shares or Junior Shares.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Redemption Event giving rise to the foregoing redemption right under Section 5(a) is the occurrence of a Material Breach, such redemption right may be exercised solely by the holder(s) of Preferred Shares to which the Materially Breached obligations of the Corporation under the Exchange Agreement were owed.

 

14



 

(e)                                  In the event that the Redemption Event giving rise to the foregoing redemption right under Section 5(a) is a failure of the Corporation to make any payment of principal, interest, or other amount due and payable of any Indebtedness of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries after giving effect to any applicable cure period, such Redemption Event shall be deemed never to have occurred and any Redemption Notice delivered by a holder of Preferred Shares in respect thereof shall be deemed automatically rescinded if, subsequent to the expiration of the cure period, (i) such failure to make payment is cured in full, (ii) all other obligations to pay principal, interest or other amounts due and payable of any Indebtedness of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries have been paid at such time and (iii) no Bankruptcy Event has occurred.

 

6.                                      Conversion.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 6, the Preferred Shares shall be convertible as follows:

 

(i)                                     from and after the Issue Date, the holders of Preferred Shares shall have the right, at their option (the “Optional Conversion Right”), to convert some or all of their Preferred Shares as set forth in the Holder Conversion Election Notice (as defined below) into the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares obtained by dividing the aggregate Stated Liquidation Preference Amount plus any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon from the last Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of conversion of such specified Preferred Shares by the Conversion Price (each an “Optional Conversion”); and

 

(ii)                                  at any time following the date that is one (1) year following the Issue Date; provided, that (A) the VWAP of a Common Share for the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 31st Trading Day prior to the Corporation Conversion Election Date (the “Mandatory Conversion VWAP Period”) is in excess of $[·](3) (as adjusted for Common Share Events and dividends paid on shares of the Corporation’s Capital Stock in Common Shares) and (B) the Corporation has an effective resale shelf registration statement permitting the resale of all of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall have the right, at its option (the “Mandatory Conversion Right”), to convert all or any number of the outstanding Preferred Shares into the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares obtained by dividing the aggregate Stated Liquidation Preference Amount plus any dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon from the last Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of conversion of such Preferred Shares by the Conversion Price (the “Mandatory Conversion”). Any such Mandatory Conversion with respect to less than all outstanding Preferred Shares, shall be applied pro rata to the holders of Preferred Shares based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each such holder.

 

(b)                                 Any Optional Conversion or the Mandatory Conversion shall be subject to the following terms and conditions, as applicable:

 

(i)                                     In order to exercise the Optional Conversion Right, the holder of Preferred Shares shall send a written notice to the Corporation (the “Holder Conversion Election Notice”)

 


(3)                                 150% of the IPO price.

 

15



 

stating that the holder thereof has elected to convert Preferred Shares. The Holder Conversion Election Notice shall also state the number of Preferred Shares such holder wishes to convert and the number of Common Shares to be issued by the Corporation to such holder pursuant to the Optional Conversion. The holder of Preferred Shares shall include with the Holder Conversion Election Notice the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares to be converted duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later that five (5) Business Days, following receipt of a Holder Conversion Election Notice and the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares to be converted, the Corporation shall (or shall cause a transfer agent for the Common Shares to) issue and shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares issuable upon such Optional Conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 6(d), to such holder. If fewer than all the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate delivered to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 6(b)(i) are to be converted pursuant to a Holder Conversion Election Notice, upon such conversion the Corporation shall (or shall cause a transfer agent for the Preferred Shares to) also issue and deliver to the holder of Preferred Shares a new certificate representing the Preferred Shares not so converted.

 

(ii)                                  In order to exercise the Mandatory Conversion Right, the Corporation shall send a written notice to the holders of Preferred Shares (the “Corporation Conversion Election Notice”) that the Corporation has elected to exercise the Mandatory Conversion Right and convert such Preferred Shares (the date of such written notice, the “Corporation Conversion Election Date”) and which shall include the VWAP of the Common Shares for the Mandatory Conversion VWAP Period, and the number of Common Shares to be issued in the Mandatory Conversion. Following the receipt of the Corporation Conversion Election Notice, the applicable holder of Preferred Shares shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares so converted, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following receipt of the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares converted in the Mandatory Conversion, the Corporation shall (or shall cause a transfer agent for the Common Shares to) issue and deliver, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Shares issuable upon such Mandatory Conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 6(d), to the holders entitled to receive the same. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6(b)(ii) to the contrary, upon the close of business on the Corporation Conversion Election Date, the number Preferred Shares converted in the Mandatory Conversion shall automatically be deemed converted into Common Shares, which Common Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to such Preferred Shares so converted, including any rights, if any, to receive dividends or notices and vote (other than as holders of Common Shares), will terminate, except for the right to receive the number of Common Shares into which such Preferred Shares have been converted.

 

(iii)                               Unless the Common Shares issuable on an Optional Conversion or Mandatory Conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such Preferred Shares are registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder’s duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid).

 

16



 

(iv)                              Holders of Preferred Shares at the close of business on any Dividend Payment Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such Dividend Payment Record Date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date. A holder of Preferred Shares on a Dividend Payment Record Date whose Preferred Shares are converted into Common Shares on such Dividend Payment Date will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such Preferred Shares on such date. If fewer than all the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate delivered to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 6(b) are to be converted pursuant to a Holder Conversion Election Notice or Corporation Conversion Election Notice, as the case may be, upon such partial conversion the Corporation shall (or shall cause a transfer agent for the Preferred Shares to) also issue and deliver to the holder of Preferred Shares a new certificate representing the Preferred Shares not so converted.

 

(c)                                  Each Optional Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date the Corporation receives the Holder Conversion Election Notice and related stock certificates (the date of such receipt by the Corporation, the “Holder Conversion Election Date”) and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any Common Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Common Shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be on such date.

 

(d)                                 No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. Instead of any fractional interest in a Common Share that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a Preferred Share, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such Preferred Share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of a Common Share on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Holder Conversion Election Date or Corporation Conversion Election Date, as applicable. If more than one Preferred Share shall be converted at one time by the same holder, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Preferred Shares so converted.

 

(e)                                  The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(i)                                     If, after the Issue Date, the Corporation (A) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (B) combines its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares or (C) issues any shares of Capital Stock by reclassification of its Common Shares (the events set forth in clauses (A), (B), and (C) above being hereinafter referred to as the “Common Share Events”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Preferred Share thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares that such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any Common Share Event had such Preferred Share been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. An adjustment made pursuant to this subparagraph (i) shall become effective immediately upon the opening of business on the day next following the record date (subject to paragraph (f) below) in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately upon the opening of business on the day next following the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

17



 

(ii)                                  No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subparagraph (ii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; and provided, further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 (other than this subparagraph (ii)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common Shares. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.001 being rounded upward) or to the nearest one-tenth of a share, as the case may be.

 

(f)                                   If the Corporation becomes party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, self-tender offer for all or substantially all Common Shares outstanding or recapitalization of the Common Shares but excluding any Common Share Events (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Transaction”)), in each case as a result of which Common Shares shall be converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each Preferred Share that is not redeemed or converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of that number of Common Shares into which one Preferred Share was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction, assuming such holder of Common Shares (i) is not a Person with which the Corporation consolidated or into which the Corporation merged or which merged into the Corporation or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his or her rights of the election, if any, as to the kind or amount of stock, securities and other property (including cash) receivable upon such Transaction (provided, that if the kind or amount of stock, securities and other property (including cash) receivable upon such Transaction is not the same for each Common Share held immediately prior to such Transaction by other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purpose of this paragraph (f) the kind and amount of stock, securities and other property (including cash) receivable upon such Transaction by each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (f), and it shall not consent or agree to the occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Shares that will contain provisions enabling the holders of the Preferred Shares that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their Preferred Shares into the consideration received by holders of Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction. The provisions of this paragraph (f) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.

 

(g)                                  If:

 

(i)                                     the Corporation pays a dividend (or makes any other distribution) on the Common Shares; or

 

18



 

(ii)                                  the Corporation grants to the holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights or warrants; or

 

(iii)                               there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Shares or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or a self-tender offer by the Corporation for all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Corporation as an entirety and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required; or

 

(iv)                              there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,

 

then the Corporation shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the holders of the Preferred Shares at their addresses as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, but at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or grant of rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or grant of rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, self-tender offer, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, self-tender offer, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 6.

 

(h)                                 Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly prepare and deliver to the holders of the Preferred Shares a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date of such adjustment and an officer’s certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Corporation shall mail such notice and such certificate to the holders of each Preferred Share at such holder’s last address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation.

 

(i)                                     In any case in which paragraph (e) of this Section 6 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following the record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any Preferred Share converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 6.

 

19



 

(j)                                    If any action or transaction would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one paragraph of this Section 6, only one adjustment shall be made, and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value.

 

(k)                                 If the Corporation takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in this Section 6, that would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors, in its reasonable discretion, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

 

(l)                                     The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Preferred Shares, the full number of Common Shares deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares not theretofore converted. For purposes of this paragraph (l), the number of Common Shares that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Shares shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder.

 

(m)                             The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Shares or other securities or property on conversion of the Preferred Shares pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any Common Shares or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Preferred Shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

 

7.                                      Voting.

 

(a)                                 Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation or by law specifically provided, the holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to vote on any and all matters on which holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote on an “as if” converted basis calculated in accordance with Section 6. As to matters upon which only holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to vote, the holder thereof shall be entitled to one (1) vote per Preferred Share.

 

(b)                                 So long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly (including through merger or consolidation with any other corporation) and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, without the affirmative vote at a meeting or the written consent without a meeting of the holders of at least a majority of Preferred Shares then outstanding:

 

(i)                                     authorize or approve the issuance of any shares of, or of any security convertible into, or convertible or exchangeable for, or linked to, Preferred Shares, Senior Shares, or Parity Shares, or authorize or create, or increase the authorized number of, any class or

 

20


 

series of Parity Shares, Preferred Shares or Senior Shares, or any security convertible into, or convertible or exchangeable for, or linked to, shares of any such class or series;

 

(ii)                                  authorize or approve the purchase or redemption of any Parity Shares or Junior Shares;

 

(iii)                               amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that would adversely affect the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that (a) any creation and issuance of Junior Shares shall not be deemed to adversely affect such powers, designations, preferences and rights; (b) any Liquidation shall not be deemed to adversely affect such powers, designations, preferences and rights and (c) the Company shall not be restricted from authorizing an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation solely for the purpose of effecting a reverse stock split (and for no other purpose) other than a reverse stock split that would constitute, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, a transaction under rule 13E-3 of the Exchange Act;

 

(iv)                              after the Issue Date, contract, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness or guarantee any such Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of more than $5.0 million at any time outstanding; or

 

(v)                                 agree to take any of the foregoing actions.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (A) no amendment or waiver (other than a waiver by a holder of Preferred Shares which does not affect the rights of the other holders of Preferred Shares) of any provision of this Certificate of Designations or the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws shall, without the prior written consent of all holders of Preferred Shares who are known to the Corporation to hold, together with their Affiliates, more than five percent (5%) of all Preferred Shares then outstanding (i) reduce the Stated Liquidation Preference Amount, the Premium or the Annual Dividend Rate or any other amounts payable or that may become payable hereunder to holders of Preferred Shares, (ii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any amount payable hereunder to holders of Preferred Shares or waive or excuse any such payment, (iii) modify or waive Section 6 or any portion thereof (or any definitions of terms used therein) in a manner that would adversely affect any holder of Preferred Shares, or (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section 7 or change any other provision of this Certificate of Designations specifying the number or percentage of holders of Preferred Shares which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, and (B) the Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly (including through merger or consolidation with any other corporation) and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of all holders of Preferred Shares who are known to the Corporation to hold, together with their Affiliates, more than five percent (5%) of all Preferred Shares then outstanding, take any of the actions described in clause (i) or clause (iii) of Section 7(b) or agree to take any of such actions, in each case, in a manner that does not treat all holders of Preferred Shares similarly. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary shall directly or indirectly pay or offer to pay any fee or other consideration of any nature to any holder of Preferred Shares in connection with any waiver, modification or amendment to this Certificate of Designations or the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or

 

21



 

bylaws unless the Corporation shall, by notice given by mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Preferred Shares appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such notice (or, if there is a record date for the applicable consent or agreement, as of such record date) at the address of said holder shown therein, advise each holder of Preferred Shares of any such consideration being paid or offered.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation shall not be deemed to have knowledge that a holder of the Preferred Shares is an Affiliate of other holder(s) of the Preferred Shares unless it has been notified of such Affiliate status in writing by the relevant holder(s).

 

8.                                      Rank.

 

The Preferred Shares rank, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any Liquidation, (i) senior to all Common Shares, and senior to all other equity securities of the Corporation other than equity securities referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this sentence (“Junior Shares”); (ii) to the extent authorized under Section 7(b)(i), on a parity with all equity securities of the Corporation the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank on a parity with the Preferred Shares with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any Liquidation (“Parity Shares”); and (iii) to the extent authorized under Section 7(b)(i), junior to all equity securities of the Corporation the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank senior to the Preferred Shares with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any Liquidation (“Senior Shares”). The term “equity securities” does not include convertible debt securities (the issuance of which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to Section 7(b)(iv)).

 

9.                                      Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                Any and all notices to the Corporation will be addressed to the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer at the Corporation’s principal place of business on file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation to any holder hereunder will be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder will be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (1) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile prior to 5:30 p.m. Eastern time, (2) the date after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile later than 5:30 p.m. but prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on such date, (3) the second business day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (4) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given, regardless of how sent.

 

(b)                Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder will be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Preferred Shares, and in the case of any such loss, theft

 

22



 

or destruction upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement will be satisfactory) or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation will, at its expense, execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

 

(c)                 The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designations and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
