Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

 

Re:         Proposed Investment in Greenbrook TMS Inc. (the “Company”)

 

In connection with the purchase by 1315 Capital II, LP (the “Investor”) of common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), which when issued would represent approximately 9.54% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis (as defined below and based on the outstanding Common Shares as at the issue date), pursuant to a subscription agreement dated May 3, 2019 (the “Subscription Agreement”), the Company has agreed to grant the Investor certain additional rights as set out in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”).

 

1.Participation Right

 

(a)Notice of Issuances

 

Subject to paragraph 1(e) hereof and provided that the Investor has a Participation Right (as defined below), if the Company proposes to issue (an “Issuance”) any equity or voting securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity or voting securities, of the Company (“Offered Securities”) for cash consideration pursuant to a public offering or a private placement (an “Offering”) at any time after the date hereof, the Company will, as soon as possible but in any event no later than promptly following the public announcement of the Issuance (or, if no public announcement is to be made, as soon as possible following approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) of the proposed Issuance), but in any event not later than two business days following such public announcement or Board approval, and in any event at least ten business days prior to the expected completion date of the Issuance, give written notice of the Issuance (the “Offering Notice”) to the Investor including, to the extent known by the Company, full particulars of the Offering, including the number of Offered Securities, the rights, privileges, restrictions, terms and conditions of the Offered Securities, the price per Offered Security to be issued under the Offering, the expected use of proceeds of the Offering and the expected closing date of the Offering. Notwithstanding that an Issuance may be contingent, the Investor acknowledges that the fact that the Company is contemplating an Offering may constitute material information regarding the Company, and that the requirements of Canadian securities laws or other applicable laws or rules, including the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), may restrict disclosure of the information and trading in securities of the Company by those with knowledge of that information. If the Offering Notice is being delivered in connection with a proposed best-efforts or fully underwritten public offering (including an offering proposed on a “bought deal” basis) through an agent or underwriter, the Offering Notice may include a range for the size of the Offering (expressed in number of Offered Securities or a dollar value), rather than a fixed number of Offered Securities, and may state that the actual price per Offered Security shall be the offering price to be agreed upon by the Company in the agency agreement, bid letter or underwriting agreement, as the case may be, relating to the Offering.

 

 

 

 

(b)Grant of Participation Right

 

The Company agrees that, subject to paragraph 1(e) hereof, until the Investor ceases to own, control or direct, directly or indirectly, at least 5% of the outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a partially-diluted basis as of the time an Offering Notice is required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the Investor (directly or through an affiliate) has the right (the “Participation Right”) to subscribe for and to be issued as part of an Offering at the subscription price per Offered Security pursuant to the Offering and otherwise on identical terms and conditions as the Offering, including that the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to the Participation Right shall close concurrently with the completion of the Offering, unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto, and provided that, if the Investor is prohibited by Canadian securities laws, Exchange rules or other applicable laws or rules from participating on identical terms and conditions as the Offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the Investor to participate on terms and conditions that are as substantially similar as circumstances permit:

 

(i)in the case of an Offering of Common Shares, up to such number of Common Shares that will allow the Investor and its affiliates, on an aggregate basis, to maintain the percentage ownership interest in the Common Shares held by the Investor and its affiliates, on an aggregate basis, prior to the Offering, after giving effect to such Offering and assuming conversion, exercise or exchange of all of the convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities of the Company held by the Investor and its affiliates at such time; and

 

(ii)in the case of an Offering of Offered Securities other than Common Shares, up to such number of Offered Securities that will (after giving effect to the Offering and assuming conversion, exercise or exchange of all of the convertible, exercisable or exchangeable Offered Securities issued in connection with the Offering) allow the Investor and its affiliates, on an aggregate basis, to acquire, or maintain, as applicable, a percentage ownership interest in the Common Shares that is equal to the percentage ownership interest in the Common Shares held by the Investor prior to such Offering (assuming conversion, exercise or exchange of all of the convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities of the Company).

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “partially-diluted basis”, with reference to the Investor’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, means a basis assuming exercise and conversion of all warrants (including broker warrants) and other securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares held by the Investor regardless of the terms of such convertible or exchangeable securities.

 

(c)Exercise Notice

 

If the Investor wishes to exercise the Participation Right, the Investor shall give written notice to the Company (the “Exercise Notice”) of its intention to exercise such right and of the number of Offered Securities the Investor wishes to purchase, and shall subscribe to the Offering within five business days after the date of receipt of an Offering Notice, provided that if the Company receives a “bought deal” letter (which means a fully underwritten commitment from an underwriter or underwriters) relating to an Offering, the Company shall deliver an Offering Notice as soon as is practicable under the circumstances given the speed and urgency with which “bought deals” are currently carried out in common market practice and the Investor shall have at least 48 hours from receipt of the Offering Notice to provide an Exercise Notice (in each case, the “Notice Period”), failing which the Investor will not be entitled to exercise the Participation Right in respect of such Offering or Issuance.

 

 

 

 

(d)Issuance of Participation Right Offered Securities

 

(i)If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Investor within the Notice Period, then the Company shall:

 

(A)subject to the receipt and continued effectiveness of all required approvals (including any applicable approvals of the Exchange, any required approvals under Canadian securities laws and any required shareholder approval); and

 

(B)subject to the completion of the relevant Offering,

 

issue to the Investor or its affiliate, against payment of the subscription price payable in respect thereof, that number of Common Shares or other Offered Securities, as applicable, set forth in the Exercise Notice. The parties agree that the issuance of any Common Shares or other Offered Securities to the Investor pursuant to this paragraph 1(d) shall occur concurrently with the completion of the relevant Offering.

 

(ii)If the Company is required by the Exchange or otherwise to seek shareholder approval for the issuance of the Offered Securities to the Investor or its affiliate, then the Company shall call and hold a meeting of its shareholders to consider the issuance of the Offered Securities to the Investor or its affiliate as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event such meeting shall be held within 90 days after the date that the Company is advised that it will require shareholder approval, and shall recommend approval of the issuance of the Offered Securities and shall solicit proxies in support thereof.

 

(e)Issuances Not Subject to Participation Rights

 

The following Issuances will not give rise to a Participation Right:

 

(i)issuances of options, warrants, rights or other securities issued for compensatory purposes to directors, officers, employees of or consultants to the Company and its affiliates pursuant to a security-based compensation plan of the Company that was previously approved by the Board of Directors and complies, as applicable, with the requirements of the Exchange;

 

(ii)pursuant to the exercise of convertible or exchangeable securities of the Company that have been issued or granted as of the date hereof;

 

(iii)pursuant to the exercise by a holder of a conversion, exchange or other similar privilege pursuant to the terms of a security in respect of which the Investor did not exercise, failed to exercise, or waived, its Participation Rights or in respect of which Participation Rights did not apply;

 

 

 

 

(iv)in connection with a subdivision of all then-outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares;

 

(v)in lieu of cash dividends payable to shareholders, if any;

 

(vi)pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plans of the Company entered into from time to time;

 

(vii)pursuant to any over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in a securities offering;

 

(viii)pursuant to any plan of arrangement, merger, business combination, take-over bid or other acquisition of the business, securities or assets of an arm’s length third party; or

 

(ix)in connection with the bought deal public offering of Common Shares closing on the date hereof (including the broker warrants issued in connection therewith).

 

2.Miscellaneous

 

(a)Registration Rights Agreement

 

Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Investor will enter into a registration rights agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule “A”.

 

(b)Termination

 

This Agreement shall terminate on the first date on which the Investor and its affiliates collectively own, directly or indirectly, less than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a partially-diluted basis).

The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.1 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.5.

 

2

 

 

2.2          Underwriting Requirements

 

In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of securities of the Company pursuant to Subsection 2.1, the Company shall not be required to include any of a Holder’s Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in good faith determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than securities to be sold by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in good faith determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering. For purposes of the provision in this Subsection 2.20 concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, shareholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

 

2.3          Obligations of the Company

 

Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)           furnish to the selling Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of their Registrable Securities;

 

(b)           use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

 

(c)           in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

 

(d)           to the extent that the Company takes steps to have its Common Shares listed on a US national securities exchange or trading system, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on such US national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(e)           provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

 

3

 

 

(f)            promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

 

(g)           notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

 

(h)           after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

 

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

2.4          Furnish Information

 

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

 

2.5          Expenses of Registration

 

All expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to Section 2, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers’ and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (subject to a maximum cap on such legal fees of US$[65,000]), shall be borne and paid by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

 

2.6          Delay of Registration

 

No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

 

4

 

 

2.7          Indemnification

 

If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

 

(a)           To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and shareholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration; and provided further that in no event shall any amount be payable by the Company by way of indemnity or contribution under Section 2.7 to the extent that any such Damages are caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by or on behalf of a Holder.

 

(b)           To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 2.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Subsections 2.7(b) and 2.7(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering to be received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Holder.

 

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Subsection 2.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Subsection 2.7, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Subsection 2.7, to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Subsection 2.7.

(d)           To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 2.7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Subsection 2.7 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Subsection 2.7, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Subsection 2.7(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Subsection 2.7(b), exceed the aggregate proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Holder.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

(f)            Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Subsection 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

2.8          Reports Under Exchange Act

 

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-10, the Company shall:

 

(a)           make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company; and

 

(b)           use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements).

3.             Additional Covenants

 

3.1  Right to Conduct Activities

 

The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that Investor (together with its Affiliates) is a professional investment organization, and as such reviews the business plans and related proprietary information of many enterprises, some of which may compete directly or indirectly with the Company’s business (as currently conducted or as currently propose to be conducted).  The Company hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted under applicable law, Investor and its Affiliates shall not be liable to the Company for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by Investor (or its Affiliates) in any entity competitive with the Company, or (ii) actions taken by any partner, officer, employee or other representative of Investor (or its Affiliates) to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a member of the board of directors of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve (x) any of Investor or its Affiliates from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s confidential information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) any director or officer of the Company from any liability associated with his or her fiduciary duties to the Company.

 

4.             Miscellaneous

 

4.1          Successors and Assigns

 

The rights under this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee of Registrable Securities that (i) is an Affiliate of a Holder; or (ii) after such transfer, holds at least 10% Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and other recapitalizations); provided, however, that (x) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred; and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the purposes of determining the number of Registrable Securities held by a transferee, the holdings of a transferee that is an Affiliate or shareholder of a Holder shall be aggregated together and with those of the transferring Holder; provided further that all transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of rights shall, as a condition to the applicable transfer, establish a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices, or taking any action under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the respective successors and permitted assignees of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assignees any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

 

4.2          Termination

 

This Agreement shall terminate on the first date on which the Holder collectively owns, directly or indirectly, less than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated on a “partially-diluted basis”). For purposes of this Agreement, “partially-diluted basis”, with reference to the Holder’s collective percentage ownership interest in the Company, means a basis assuming exercise and conversion of all warrants (including broker warrants) and other securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares held by the Holder regardless of the terms of such convertible or exchangeable securities.

4.3          Governing Law

 

This Agreement shall be governed by the internal law of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware.

 

4.4          Counterparts

 

This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

 

4.5          Titles and Subtitles

 

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

 

4.6          Notices

 

(a)           All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or (i) personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent, if sent by electronic mail or facsimile during the recipient’s normal business hours, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) one (1) business day after the business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next-day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their addresses as set forth below, or to the principal office of the Company and to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer, in the case of the Company, or to such email address, facsimile number, or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Subsection 4.6.

 

(b)           Consent to Electronic Notice. Each Investor consents to the delivery of any shareholder notice pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), as amended or superseded from time to time, by electronic transmission pursuant to Section 232 of the DGCL (or any successor thereto) at the electronic mail address set forth below such Investor’s name below, as updated from time to time by notice to the Company. To the extent that any notice given by means of electronic transmission is returned or undeliverable for any reason, the foregoing consent shall be deemed to have been revoked until a new or corrected electronic mail address has been provided, and such attempted electronic notice shall be ineffective and deemed to not have been given. Each Investor agrees to promptly notify the Company of any change in such shareholder’s electronic mail address, and that failure to do so shall not affect the foregoing.

 

4.7          Amendments and Waivers

 

Any term of this Agreement may be amended, modified or terminated and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided that any provision hereof may be waived by any waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any Holder without the written consent of such Holder, unless such amendment, modification, termination, or waiver applies to each Holder in the same fashion. The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment, modification or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, modification, termination, or waiver. Any amendment, modification, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Subsection 4.7 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

4.8          Severability

4.9          Aggregation of Stock

 

All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement and such Affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.

No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any such breach or default, or to any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.
