the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market, or (ii) upon the vote or receipt by the Company of a written consent for such conversion from the holders of (x) at least a majority of the Prior Preferred and (y) the Requisite Senior Preferred Vote; or, if later, the effective date for conversion specified in such requests (each of the events referred to in (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as an “Automatic Conversion Event”).

(e)    Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors. For such purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock a holder of Preferred Stock is at the time converting into Common Stock shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, and to receive certificates therefor, the holder shall either (A) surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or (B) notify the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that the holder elects to convert the same, which notices shall state the numbers of shares of the Preferred Stock being converted. Upon such event, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of the Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date of an Automatic Conversion Event, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holder of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Automatic Conversion Event unless either the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. On the date of the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event, each holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Company, that notice from the Company shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.

(f)    Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

(i)    Special Definition. For purposes of this Section 4(f), “Additional Shares of Common” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 4(f)(iii), deemed to be issued) by the Company after the date hereof (the “Filing Date”), other than issuances or deemed issuances of:

(A)    shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock;

 

10


(B)    shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to Section 4(i) through Section 4(m):

(C)    up to 47,976,338 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like) shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or other purchase rights with respect thereto) issued or issuable to employees, officer or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary for bona fide employment or consulting services pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan;

(D)    shares of Common Stock issued or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights, and the Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination; provided, that such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors;

(E)    shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any equipment or facilities leasing or loan arrangement from a bank or similar financial or lending institution; provided, that such issuances are for other than primarily equity financing purposes and such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors;

(F)    shares of Common Stock issued in connection with technology licensing arrangements involving the Company and other entities; provided, that such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors; and

(G)    shares of Common Stock issued or issuable and agreed by holders of (i) at least a majority of the Prior Preferred and (ii) the Requisite Senior Preferred Vote to not be treated as Additional Shares of Common.

(ii)    No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price of a particular series of Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common unless the consideration per share (as determined pursuant to Section 4(h)) for an Additional Share of Common issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to such issue, for the Series H Preferred.

(iii)    Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options and the conversion or exchange of the underlying securities, shall be deemed to have been issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date; provided, that in any such case in which shares are deemed to be issued:

(A)    no further adjustment in the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

 

11


(B)    if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any change in the consideration payable to the Company or in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (other than a change pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of such Options or Convertible Securities such as this Section 4(f) or pursuant to any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like, such as pursuant to Section 4(i) through Section 4(m) hereof), the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall be recomputed to reflect such change as if such change had been in effect as of the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date with respect thereto);

(C)    no readjustment pursuant to clause (B) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock to an amount above the lower of (1) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (2) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any other issuances of Additional Shares of Common and any other adjustments provided for herein between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;

(D)    upon the expiration or termination of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price of each Series of Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall, upon such expiration or termination, be recomputed as if:

(1)    in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of such exercised Options plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and

(2)    in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of such exercised Options, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company (determined pursuant to Section 4(h)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; and

(E)    if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be cancelled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(f)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.

For purposes of this Section 4, “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock and “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

 

12


(g)    Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common. In the event this Company shall at any time after the Filing Date issue Additional Shares of Common (including Additional Shares of Common deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4(f)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price of the Series H Preferred in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then the Conversion Price of each affected series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price (calculated to the nearest tenth of one cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the total number of Additional Shares of Common so issued. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock which could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all other rights, options and convertible securities outstanding on the day immediately preceding the given date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall not be reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be less than $0.0001, but any such amount shall be carried forward, and a reduction will be made with respect to such amount at the time of, and together with, any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amounts so carried forward, equal $0.0001 or more in the aggregate.

(h)    Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4(h), the consideration received by the Company for the issue (or deemed issue) of any Additional Shares of Common shall be computed as follows:

(i)    Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(A)    to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the net amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale but without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company;

(B)    to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C)    if Additional Shares of Common, Convertible Securities or rights or options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common, Convertible Securities or rights or options.

(ii)    Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4(f)(iii) shall be determined by dividing:

(x)    the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum

 

13


aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by

(y)    the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(i)    Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shades of Common Stock, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, at the close of business on the date of the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, at the close of business on the date of the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

(j)    Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Preferred Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Preferred Stock, the dividend rate, Original Issue Price and liquidation preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, at the close of business on the date of the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Preferred Stock, the dividend rate, Original Issue Price and liquidation preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, at the close of business on the date of the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

(k)    Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. Subject to Section 3, if the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Acquisition or Asset Transfer as defined in Section 3(f) resulting in a deemed liquidation under Section 3 hereof, or a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 4). then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive each holder of such Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Preferred Stock into a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization or reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

(l)    Adjustments for Reorganizations, Mergers or Consolidations. If at any time or from time to time, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock or the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or another entity or person (other than an Acquisition or Asset Transfer as defined in Section 3(f) resulting in a deemed liquidation under Section 3 hereof, or a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares

 

14


provided for elsewhere in this Section 4), as a part of such transaction, provision shall be made so that each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of one share of the Preferred Stock, immediately prior to such transaction would have been entitled pursuant to such transaction. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock after such transaction to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section ARTICLE IVC.4(1) shall be construed as preventing the holders of Preferred Stock from seeking any dissenters’ rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the Code in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Section 4(1) be deemed conclusive evidence of the fair value of the shares of Preferred Stock in any such dissenters’ rights proceeding.

(m)    Adjustments for Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time, makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holder of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Additional Shares of Common, in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect of each affected series of Preferred Stock shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price for such series then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares, of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price for each affected series of Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(m) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.

(n)    Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The certificate shall include a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company for any Additional Shares of Common issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the Conversion Price of such series, as applicable, at the time in effect, (iii) the number of Additional Shares of Common and (iv) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

(o)    Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived by the consent or vote of the holder of the majority of the outstanding shares of such affected series either before or after the issuance causing the adjustment. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.

(p)    Notices of Record Date. Upon:

 

15


(i)    any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution; or

(ii)    any Acquisition (as defined in Section 3(f)) or other capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any Asset Transfer (as defined in Section 3(f)), or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then, in connection with each such event, this Company shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock at least ten (10) business days prior to the record date specified therein (or such shorter period approved by the Requisite Senior Preferred Vote, a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Such written notice shall be given by first class mail (or express courier), postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of the Company, by electronic transmission in a manner permitted by Section 20 of the Code, or by some other manner then permitted by the Code.

(q)    Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series Preferred. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series Preferred, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation.

(r)    Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed telex, facsimile or electronic mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day (provided, that the Company complies with Section 20 of the Code and 15 U.S.C. § 7001(c)(1) prior to sending the telex, facsimile or electronic mail), (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company.

(s)    Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of the Series Preferred, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of

 

16


Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series Preferred so converted were registered.

(t)    No Dilution or Impairment. Without the consent of the holders of the then outstanding Series Preferred (voting together as a single class), the Company shall not amend this A Certificate of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or take any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, and shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series Preferred against dilution or other impairment.

5.    NO REISSUANCE OF SERIES PREFERRED. No share or shares of the Series Preferred acquired by the Company by reason of purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued; and in addition, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Company’s authorized stock.

A.    1 of the authorized shares of Common Stock is hereby designated “Series G Common Stock,” which share shall be non-voting and have a par value of $0.001 per share.

B.    1 of the authorized shares of Common Stock is hereby designated “Series W Common Stock,” which share shall be voting and have a par value of $0.001 per share.

(a)    Within two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Exercise, the Company shall send a copy of such Notice of Exercise to the Holder Representative.

(b)    At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Redemption Time, the Company shall send written notice of the Closing and the Special Redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder Representative, which notice shall specify the Redemption Time.

4.    Holder Representative; Company Equityholder Register.

(a)    Holder Representative. The Company Equityholders that represent a Majority of Holders have appointed Andy Corley as the initial sole, exclusive, true and lawful agent, representative and attorney-in-fact of the Company Equityholders (the “Holder Representative”) with respect to any and all matters relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, the Special Redemption, the Warrant and the Escrow Agreement from and after the Closing until the date when all obligations under the Warrant and the Escrow Agreement have been discharged (including all indemnification obligations thereto). The Majority of Holders may, from time to time upon written notice to the Holder Representative and prior written consent of the Company, (i) remove any Holder Representative (including any appointed by the Company as provided below) or (ii) appoint a new Holder Representative to fill any vacancy created by the death, incapacitation, resignation or removal of any Holder Representative. If the Majority of Holders is required to but has not appointed a successor Holder Representative to fill any vacancy within thirty (30) calendar days from written notice from the Company to a Majority of Holders and a request by the Company to appoint a successor Holder Representative, the Company shall have the right to appoint a Holder Representative to fill any such vacancy; provided, however, that a Majority of Holders shall thereafter retain the right to remove the Holder Representative or appoint a new Holder Representative pursuant to this Section 4(a). A copy of any appointment by the Majority of Holders of any successor Holder Representative shall be provided to the Company promptly after it shall have been effected. Each successor Holder Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Section 4 upon the original Holder Representative, and the term “Holder Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any successor Holder Representative.

(b)    Authority. The Holder Representative shall be authorized, on behalf of the Company Equityholders, (i) to acknowledge and consent to the occurrence of any Milestone, (ii) to resolve any disputes related to the occurrence of any Milestone or the payment of any Future Payment and to comply with Court Orders and awards of arbitrators related thereto, (iii) to discuss, negotiate, resolve and fully and finally settle on behalf of the Company Equityholders any claims for indemnification under the Warrant, including the authorization to comply with Court Orders with respect to any such claim for indemnification, (iv) to take any action, including litigating, defending or enforcing any actions, and to make, deliver and sign any certificate, notice, consent or instrument required or permitted to be made or delivered under the Warrant or the Escrow Agreement (each, an “Instrument”) or under the documents referred to in the Warrant or the Escrow Agreement which the Holder Representative determines in such Holder Representative’s discretion to be necessary, appropriate or desirable in connection therewith (provided, that if any individual Company Equityholder is named in such litigation, such Company Equityholder shall have the right to tender defense), (v)to hire or retain, at the sole expense of the Company Equityholders (including through use of the Representative Set-Aside or offset against, or recovery of, Future Payments), such counsel, investment bankers, accountants, representatives and other professional advisors as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be necessary, advisable or appropriate in order

 

20


to carry out and perform its rights and obligations hereunder, (vi) to receive all documents, certificates and notices and make all determinations on behalf of the Company Equityholders required under the Warrant and the Escrow Agreement, (vii) to review the Closing Statement and to resolve any disputes related to such Closing Statement as specified in Section 4.5 of the Warrant, and (viii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of any Company Equityholder in connection herewith, and to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which a Company Equityholder is, or the Company Equityholders collectively are, permitted or required to do or exercise under the Warrant or the Escrow Agreement. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Holder Representative shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company Equityholders. Any party receiving an Instrument from the Holder Representative shall have the right to rely in good faith upon such Instrument, and to act in accordance with the Instrument without independent investigation.

(c)    No Liability of Holder Representative, the Warrant Holder or the Company. Neither the Holder Representative (nor any of the directors, officers, agents or employees of Holder Representative, if applicable) shall be liable to any Company Equityholder for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with the Holder Representative’s services pursuant to the Warrant and the Escrow Agreement, except in the case of liability directly arising from the Holder Representative’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Holder Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by the Holder Representative and shall not be liable to any Company Equityholder for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. As to any matters not expressly provided for in this Section 4, the Holder Representative shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Holder nor any of their Affiliates shall have any liability to any of the Company Equityholders or otherwise arising out of the acts or omissions of the Holder Representative or any disputes among the Company Equityholders or between the Company Equityholders and the Holder Representative. Each of the Warrant Holder and the Company may rely entirely on its dealings with, and notices to and from, the Holder Representative to satisfy any obligations it may have under the Warrant or otherwise to the Company or the Company Equityholders, as applicable.

(d)    Register; Transfers.

(i)    The Company will maintain, and make available to the Holder Representative a register containing the name and address of all of the Company Equityholders who held Company Capital Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants as of immediately prior to the Redemption Time and whose shares of Company Capital Stock were redeemed in accordance with Section 1, Company Options that were converted, terminated and cancelled in accordance with Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), or Company Warrants that were converted, terminated and cancelled in accordance with Section 2(c) or Section 2(d), (collectively, the “Redeemed Equityholders”). Each Redeemed Equityholder may change its address as shown on such register by written notice to the Holder Representative requesting such change. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 4(d). the Redeemed Equityholder’s rights to payment upon a Special Redemption shall be transferable, in whole or in part, upon providing to the Holder Representative a properly executed assignment in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder Representative, in consultation with the Company. Upon any such address change or assignment, the Holder Representative shall promptly (i) update (or cause to be updated) the Distribution Schedule and (ii) to the extent applicable, take all actions with respect to the Paying Agent and Escrow Agent as are necessary to reflect such address change or assignment.

(ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Redemption Time, no Redeemed Equityholder may sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of his, her or its right to receive any portion of any Redemption Payments that becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2(b or

 

21


Section 2, as applicable, other than (A) if such Redeemed Equityholder is an individual, (1) by the Applicable Laws of descent and distribution or succession, (2) such individual’s spouse, descendants and siblings and descendants of such individual’s siblings, (3) to one or more trusts where all of the beneficiaries of which are such individual and/or such individual’s spouse, descendants and siblings and descendants of such individual’s siblings, (4) to one or more family limited partnerships or family limited liability companies where all of the equity interests of which are and in the future shall be owned by such individual and/or such individual’s spouse, descendants and siblings and descendants of such individual’s siblings, or (5) to a Person whose primary business is the monetization of future payment streams, such as royalties, or (B) if such Redeemed Equityholder is an entity, (1) to an affiliate of such Redeemed Equityholder, (2) to a non-affiliate of such Redeemed Equityholder in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the portfolio assets of such Redeemed Equityholder, a transfer or sale of its right to receive any portion of the Redemption Payments, if any, in connection with the winding up or dissolution of such Redeemed Equityholder or a distribution to partners or other equity holders of such Redeemed Equityholder, or (3) to a Person whose primary business is the monetization of future payment streams, such as royalties. Any transfer in violation of this Section 4(d) shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by the Company, the Holder Representative and/or the Paying Agent.

(e)    Indemnity; Costs and Expenses.

(i)    The Holder Representative (and its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives, if applicable) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company Equityholders on a several basis (in accordance with each such Company Equityholder’s respective Pro Rata Portion), and not on a joint and several basis, against any loss, damage, cost. Liability, claim, penalty, fine, forfeiture, action, fee, cost or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance, performance or administration of the Holder Representative’s duties hereunder, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred. All Representative Losses shall be paid to the Holder Representative as follows:

(A)    first, by recourse from the Representative Set-Aside; and

(B)    then, if such amounts held in the Representative Set-Aside are insufficient to satisfy such Representative Losses, then, in the Holder Representative’s reasonable discretion, either (1) by recourse from any Future Payments distributable to the Company Equityholders at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Equityholders or (2) by recourse directly from the Company Equityholders.

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4(e), in the event that any Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been primarily caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Holder Representative, any amounts paid to the Holder Representative (whether from the Representative Set-Aside, withholding of Future Payments or otherwise) with respect to such Representative Loss attributable to such fraud, gross negligence or willful conduct shall be deposited in the Representative Set-Aside Account for distribution to the Company Equityholders upon release of the Representative Set-Aside Account in accordance with the terms hereunder.

5.    Escheat. None of the Company, the Warrant Holder or Holder Representative shall be liable to any Company Equityholder for any portion of the Redemption Payment delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property escheat or similar law.

6.    Close of Stock Transfer Books. At the Redemption Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of

 

22


Company Capital Stock on the records of the Company, other than the Warrant Share. From and after the Redemption Time, all of the shares of Company Capital Stock shall be redeemed, and no shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding other than the Warrant Share, and the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Redemption Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except for the rights expressly provided herein (including the right to any Future Payments) or by Applicable Law.

7.    Withholding. The Company and the Paying Agent (acting on behalf of the Holder Representative), as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments, made pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, any withholding Taxes or other amounts determined by the Company in its discretion to be required under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any Applicable Law to be deducted and withheld. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of the Certificate of Incorporation as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
