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

Investment Agreement

On May 3, 2017, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with OV, relating to the issuance to OV of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement closed on May 3, 2017 (the “Closing”).

Board Representation. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, in connection with the Closing, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) increased the size of the Board from nine directors to ten directors and appointed Vikram S. Pandit, a designee of OV, to the Board. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding and OV and its affiliates beneficially own (x) a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (y) at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock of which OV became a beneficial owner at Closing, holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class and to the exclusion of holders of all other classes of stock of the Company) will be entitled to elect a director to the Board. If OV and its affiliates cease to be entitled to exercise the election right described in the preceding sentence, for so long as OV and its affiliates continue to beneficially own at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock of which OV became a beneficial owner at Closing, the Company will, subject to certain requirements in the Investment Agreement, include a nominee of OV for election as a director, with such person to be assigned to that class of directors that the other Company director nominees are assigned to on such slate, and thereafter to renominate such individual at each meeting of stockholders electing such class of directors, and use its reasonable efforts to cause the election of each such person to the Board. OV’s right to nominate a director will terminate when OV and its affiliates beneficially own less than 50% of the Common Stock beneficially owned by OV immediately following the Closing (as

equitably adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, combination, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the Common Stock).

Standstill. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, OV has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that until the later of (A) the first date on which there is no Orogen-affiliated director serving on the Board or (B) May 3, 2019, OV and its affiliates will not, among other things: (i) acquire any securities of the Company if, immediately after such acquisition, OV and its affiliates would collectively beneficially own in the aggregate more than 20.0% of the then outstanding Common Stock, (ii) propose or seek to effect any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the Company or its securities, or make any public statement with respect to such transaction, (iii) make, or in any way participate in any “proxy contest” or other solicitation of proxies, (iv) seek election or appointment to, or representation on, the Board other than as set forth in the Investment Agreement or the Series A Certificate of Designations (as defined below), or seek the removal of any of the Company’s directors, or (v) conduct any referendum of stockholders of the Company or make or be the proponent of any stockholder proposal.

Transfer Restrictions and Registration Rights. The Investment Agreement restricts OV’s ability to transfer the Preferred Stock or shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (but not shares of Common Stock issued as dividends), subject to certain exceptions specified in the Investment Agreement. In particular, prior to the earlier of (A) May 3, 2019, (B) a change of control of the Company or entry into a definitive agreement that would result in a change of control of the Company and (C) the later of (i) May 3, 2018 and (ii) the first date on which there is no OV affiliated director serving on the Board, OV will be restricted from transferring or entering into an agreement that transfers the ownership of the Preferred Stock or shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. These restrictions do not apply to, among others, transfers to affiliates.

In addition, subject to certain limitations, the Investment Agreement provides OV with certain registration rights for shares of Common Stock held by OV, including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

The foregoing description of the Investment Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Investment Agreement, a copy of which is attached here as Exhibit 2.

Certificates of Designations

On May 3, 2017, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (i) a Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designations”) and (ii) a Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Certificate of Designations” and, together with the Series A Certificate of Designations, the “Certificates of Designations”). Generally, except with respect to certain voting rights, and a conversion trigger applicable to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock described below as the “HSR Conversion,” the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock are substantially identical.

The Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. In addition, cumulative preferred dividends accumulate on the Preferred Stock at a rate of 3.875% per annum, and are payable quarterly in arrears. The payments on such dividends may be paid in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of Common Stock. The Company may only pay such dividends in shares of Common Stock on or after August 1, 2018, subject to an aggregate share cap and so long as the Company has paid full cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods, and there is adequate current public information with respect to the Company and no volume limitations would apply to the resale of such shares, in each case under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

The Preferred Stock is convertible by the holders of the Series Preferred Stock, at their option, at any time before May 3, 2024, into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of 27.77778 shares of Common Stock per share of Preferred Stock (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $36.00 per share of Common Stock), subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. If at any time after May 3, 2020, the closing sale price of Common Stock exceeds 150% of the then applicable conversion price of the Preferred Stock for

at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company may cause some or all of the Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable conversion rate. Upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the Company is required to pay all accumulated but unpaid dividends in additional shares of common stock valued at the then applicable conversion price on the date of such conversion.

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock (but not the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) are entitled to vote generally with the holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to certain limited special approval rights, including with respect to amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Series A Preferred Stock, certain issuances of senior or pari passu securities, certain purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of junior securities or payments, dividends or distributions thereon. In addition, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (but not the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) are outstanding and OV and its affiliates collectively beneficially own at least a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holders immediately following the Closing, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class by majority vote, are entitled to elect one director to serve on the Board.

With certain exceptions, upon a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificates of Designations), holders of the Preferred Stock may require that the Company repurchase for cash all or any whole number of shares of the Preferred Stock at a per-share repurchase price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of such shares, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. If the Company fails to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Preferred Stock will increase by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of the date that the Company is required to effect such repurchase, during the period in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase to more than 6.875% per annum. The definition of Fundamental Change includes a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets, a change of control of the Company by way of a tender offer, merger or similar event, the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution and certain delistings of the Company’s Common Stock, except in certain cases described in the Certificates of Designations in which the consideration received or to be received by the Company’s common stockholders in a sale or change of control transaction consists primarily of publicly listed and traded securities.

Holders of shares of Preferred Stock that are converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificates of Designations), are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate for such shares of Preferred Stock based on the effective date of such event and the applicable price attributable to the event as set forth in a table contained in the Certificates of Designations. The definition of Make-Whole Fundamental Change includes a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets, a change of control of the Company by way of a tender offer, merger or similar event, the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution and certain delistings of its Common Stock.

If any shares of Preferred Stock have not been converted into Common Stock prior to May 3, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), the Company will be required to repurchase such shares at a repurchase price equal to the liquidation preference of the repurchased shares plus the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If the Company fails to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Preferred Stock will increase by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of the Maturity Date during the period in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase to more than 6.875% per annum.

Pursuant to the Certificates of Designations and the Investment Agreement, the Company has, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, renounced any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company, on the one hand, and for OV, its director designees or their respective affiliates, as well as their respective principals, directors, general partners, officers, employees, agents and representatives acting on their behalf, on the other, except to the extent of any such opportunity which is expressly offered to, or comes to the knowledge of, any of such persons solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board.

Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock have no voting rights except as required by law and with respect to amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Series A-1 Preferred

Stock. At such time as any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 applicable to OV’s acquisition of the Preferred Stock expires or is terminated, all shares of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding shall immediately and automatically convert on a one for one basis to shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “HSR Conversion”). Upon such HSR Conversion, all accumulated but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock immediately prior to such HSR Conversion will be converted into an equivalent amount of accumulated but unpaid dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately following such HSR Conversion.

The foregoing descriptions of the Series A Certificate of Designations and the Series A-1 Certificates of Designations do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full texts of the Series A Certificate of Designations and the Series A-1 Certificates of Designations, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report filed on Form 8-K on May 3, 2017 and are incorporated herein by reference.
