In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the parties shall (i) subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1, including Section 3.1(d), use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable and advisable (as determined in good faith by Amazon in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.1(d)) all exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals from, and to make all filings with and to give all notices to, all third parties, including any Governmental Entities, required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include providing, as promptly as practicable and advisable, such information to any Governmental Entity as such Governmental Entity may request in connection therewith, and (ii) cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals and to make all such filings and give such notices; provided, that nothing in this Section 3.1(a) shall require either party to expend any money, bring any claim, action or proceeding or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain any such exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals or to make any such filings or notices (other than the payment of customary fees and expenses).

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) as promptly as practicable after written notice from Amazon, the parties shall file the Notification and Report Forms required under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice (the date on which all such Notification and Report Forms required under the HSR Act have been initially filed, the “HSR Filing Date”) and (ii) as promptly as practicable after written notice from Amazon, file, make or give, as applicable, all other filings, requests or notices required under any other Antitrust Laws, in each case with respect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares (the “Initial Filing Transaction”) (the filings, requests and notices described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Initial Antitrust Filings”). In addition, following the receipt of the Initial Antitrust Clearance, to the extent required by Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Antitrust Law) in connection with any further issuance of Warrant Shares (in each case, whether in full or in part), the parties shall file, make or give, as applicable, as promptly as practicable and advisable (as determined in good faith by Amazon in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.1(d)), any further required filings, requests or notices required under any Antitrust Laws, including the HSR Act (collectively, the “Other Antitrust Filings”).

(c)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including the remainder of this Section 3.1) and the other Transaction Documents, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity, so as to enable the parties to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, nothing in this Section 3.1 shall require, or be construed to require, any party or any of its Affiliates to agree to (and no party or any of its Affiliates shall agree to, without the prior written consent of the other parties): (i) sell, hold separate, divest, discontinue or limit (or any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operation of) any assets, businesses or interests of it or its Affiliates (irrespective of whether or not such assets, businesses or interests are related to, are the subject matter of or could be affected by the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents); (ii) without limiting clause (i) in any respect, any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact (x) the business of, or the financial, business or strategic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents to it or its Affiliates, or (y) any other assets, businesses or interests of it or its Affiliates; or (iii) without limiting clause

(i) in any respect, any modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact (x) the business of, or financial, business or strategic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents to it or its Affiliates, or (y) any other assets, businesses or interests of it or its Affiliates.

(d)Amazon shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy (including with respect to the timing of filings) for obtaining any exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals required under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that Amazon shall consult in advance with the Company and in good faith take the Company’s views into account regarding the overall antitrust strategy. Each of the parties shall promptly notify the other party of, and if in writing furnish the other party with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other of), any substantive communication that it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity, whether written or oral, relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and, to the extent reasonably practicable, permit the other party to review in advance any proposed substantive written communication by such party to any Governmental Entity and consider in good faith the other party’s reasonable comments on any such proposed substantive written communications prior to their submission. No party shall, and each party shall cause its Affiliates not to, participate or agree to participate in any substantive meeting or communication with any Governmental Entity in respect of the subject matter of the Transaction Documents, including on a “no names” or hypothetical basis, unless (to the extent practicable) it or they consult with the other party in advance and, to the extent practicable and permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party the opportunity to jointly prepare for, attend and participate in such meeting or communication. The parties shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the matters described in this Section 3.1, including (x) furnishing to each other all information reasonably requested to determine the jurisdictions in which a filing or submission under any Antitrust Law is required or advisable, (y) furnishing to each other all information required for any filing or submission under any Antitrust Law and (z) keeping each other reasonably informed with respect to the status of each exemption, authorization, consent, approval, filing and notice under any Antitrust Law, in each case, in connection with the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. The parties shall provide each other with copies of all substantive correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Affiliates or representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, on the other hand, relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; provided that such material may be redacted as necessary to (1) comply with contractual arrangements, (2) address good faith legal privilege or confidentiality concerns and (3) comply with Applicable Law.

(e)Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including in this Section 3.1, in the event that any arbitral, administrative, judicial or analogous action, claim or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or any other party challenging the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents (“Transaction Litigation”), each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest

-15-


 

and resist any such Transaction Litigation and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation or implementation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents. Each party shall keep the other party reasonably informed unless doing so would reasonably be likely to jeopardize any privilege of such party regarding any such Transaction Litigation (subject to such party using reasonable best efforts to, and cooperating in good faith with the other party in, developing and implementing reasonable alternative arrangements to provide such other party with such information). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, each party shall promptly advise the other party orally and in writing and shall cooperate fully in connection with, and shall consult with each other with respect to, any Transaction Litigation and shall in good faith give consideration to each other’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation.

(f)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after written notice from Amazon that Amazon intends to exercise any Warrant that would result in Amazon having beneficial control of 10% or more of the Common Stock, which notice shall be at least thirty (30) days before the date that Amazon intends such exercise, Amazon and the Company shall jointly file a “Notice of Substantial Change of Ownership” with the DOT. Amazon and the Company shall cooperate fully in promptly providing information required to be submitted with the DOT pursuant to 14 CFR Part 204 and responding to any associated information requests of the DOT in its review of the substantial change in the Company’s ownership and in seeking a “comfort letter” from the DOT in connection therewith.

(g)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the earlier of (i) the exercise of Warrant-C in full and (ii) the expiration, termination or cancellation of Warrant-C without Warrant-C having been exercised in full, no party shall have any further obligations under this Section 3.1; provided, that this Section 3.1(g) shall in no way relieve any party with respect to any breach by such party of this Section 3.1 prior to such time.

3.2Public Announcements

. The parties acknowledge that the communication plan (including the initial press release of each party) regarding the initial announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to customers, suppliers, investors and employees and otherwise (the “Initial Communications Materials”) has been agreed by the parties. After the transmission of the Initial Communications Materials, except as required by Applicable Law or by the rules or requirements of any stock exchange on which the securities of a party are listed, no party shall make, or cause to be made, or permit any of its Affiliates to make, any press release or public announcement or other similar communications in respect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby without prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the other party, to the extent such release, announcement or communication relates to the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents; provided that no party shall have the right to consent to any release, announcement or communication of the other party (including any filing required to be made under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act) made in the ordinary course of business unless and to the extent such release, announcement or communication (x) relates specifically to the signing or completion of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents or (y) includes information with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction

Such valuation shall be binding on Amazon and the Company for all tax purposes. Amazon and the Company shall treat the Warrant Issuance (i) as a closed, taxable transaction occurring on the date of the Warrant Issuance, rather than as an open transaction, for tax purposes, and (ii) not as a transaction in connection with the performance of services within the meaning of Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Neither Amazon nor the Company shall take any position for tax purposes that is inconsistent with the foregoing, unless required by Applicable Law. At the Closing, Amazon will deliver, and will cause Amazon.com Services, Inc. to deliver, to the Company a complete and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.

3.5Top-Up Adjustment

.

(a)If the Company shall at any time or from time to time issue shares of the Common Stock after the Expiration Time (as defined in Warrant-C) to (i) any holder of any Convertible Notes upon the conversion of such Convertible Notes (net of any shares of the Common Stock delivered to the Company upon the exercise of the Existing Call Options in connection with such conversions) or (ii) any holder of the Existing Convertible Note Warrants upon exercise of the Existing Convertible Note Warrants (such shares of the Common Stock issued at such time to such holders, the “New Shares”), then the Company shall, as promptly as practicable after such issuance, issue to the Warrantholder (as defined in Warrant-C) a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Top-Up Number. In the event that the Company (1) refinances any Convertible Notes with other notes convertible into the Common Stock (the “Refinancing Convertible Notes”) and/or (2) replaces any Existing Convertible Note Warrants with other warrants issued in connection with the issuance of such Refinancing Convertible Notes (the “Replacement Warrants”), the top-up adjustment set forth in this Section 3.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, with respect to any new shares of the Common Stock issued by the Company upon the conversion of such Refinancing Convertible Notes or upon the exercise of the Replacement Warrants, with the “New Shares” in that circumstance being the number of new shares of the Common Stock issued upon the conversion of such Refinancing Convertible Notes (net of any shares of the Common Stock delivered to the Company in respect of any call options or other hedging arrangement put in place by the Company in connection with such Refinancing

-17-


 

Convertible Notes (“Replacement Hedging Arrangement”)) or upon the exercise of the Replacement Warrants, as applicable.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the number of “New Shares” issued by the Company pursuant to the conversion of any Convertible Notes (or any Refinancing Convertible Notes), the Company shall not be deemed to be issuing “New Shares” to the extent the Company obtains an equivalent number of shares of the Common Stock upon exercise of the Existing Call Options (or any Replacement Hedging Arrangement) and delivers such shares of the Common Stock to the holders of such Convertible Notes (or the holders of such Refinancing Convertible Notes, as applicable) upon the conversion thereof; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, this exclusion shall not apply to issuances of shares of the Common Stock by the Company the proceeds of which are used to finance the payment in cash of the strike price of the Existing Call Options (or pursuant to any Replacement Hedging Arrangement, as applicable).

(c)Existing Call Option Agreements” means (i) the Base Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 28, 2015 (as amended or modified from time to time), between Morgan Stanley & Co.

International plc and the Company, (iii) the Base Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 28, 2015 (as amended or modified from time to time), between BNP Paribas and the Company, (iv) the Additional Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of June 1, 2015 (as amended or modified from time to time), between BNP Paribas and the Company, (v) the Base Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 17, 2017 (as amended or modified from time to time), between Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and the Company, (vi) the Additional Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 18, 2017 (as amended or modified from time to time), between Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and the Company, (vii) the Base Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 17, 2017 (as amended or modified from time to time), between Citibank, N.A. and the Company, (viii) the Additional Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 18, 2017 (as amended or modified from time to time), between Citibank, N.A. and the Company (ix) the Base Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 17, 2017 (as amended or modified from time to time), between BNP Paribas and the Company and (x) the Additional Call Option Transaction Confirmation, dated as of May 18, 2017 (as amended or modified from time to time), between BNP Paribas and the Company.

(d)Existing Call Options” means the call options for the purchase of shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Existing Call Option Agreements.

(e)Net Cash Ratio” means, with respect to any issuances of New Shares, a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the excess of (x) the VWAP (as defined in Warrant‑C) for the Common Stock for the thirty (30) Trading Days (as defined in Warrant‑C) immediately preceding the date of such issuance over (y) the Exercise Price as of the Expiration Time (each as defined in Warrant‑C) and (ii) the denominator of which is the VWAP (as defined in Warrant‑C) for the Common Stock for the 30 Trading Days (as defined in Warrant‑C) immediately preceding the date of such issuance.

-18-


 

(f)Refinancing Cap” means, at the time of any issuance of Refinancing Convertible Notes in respect of any outstanding Convertible Notes, the total number of shares of the Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such outstanding Convertible Notes at such time, net of the total number of shares of the Common Stock deliverable to the Company upon the exercise of the corresponding Existing Call Options at such time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Refinancing Cap will be reduced on a share-for-share basis by any shares of the Common Stock issued by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Notes prior to or in connection with any such refinancing that results in a top-up issuance to the holder of Warrant‑C pursuant to this Section 3.5.

(g)Replacement Cap” means, at the time of the replacement of any Existing Convertible Note Warrants with any Replacement Warrants, the total number of unissued shares of the Common Stock that remain issuable upon the exercise of such Existing Convertible Note Warrants at such time and with respect to which such Existing Convertible Note Warrants will expire and be cancelled upon such replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Replacement Cap will be reduced on a share-for-share basis by any shares of the Common Stock issued by the Company to the holders of the Existing Convertible Note Warrants prior to or in connection with any such replacement that results in a top-up issuance to the holder of Warrant-C pursuant to this Section 3.5.

(h)Top-Up Number” means, with respect to any issuances of New Shares, the product of (i) 0.174, (ii) the number of New Shares, (iii) the Net Cash Ratio and (iv) a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Warrant Shares that were issued to the Warrantholder upon any exercise of Warrant‑C during the term of Warrant‑C and (y) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Warrant Shares (exercised or unexercised, vested or unvested) under Warrant‑C as of the Expiration Time (as defined in Warrant‑C).  In the event that the Top-Up Number is being calculated as a result of the issuance of New Shares upon the conversion of any Refinancing Convertible Notes, the maximum aggregate number of New Shares that may be included in clause (ii) of the foregoing formula shall not exceed the Refinancing Cap for such Refinancing Convertible Notes, and in the event that the Top-Up Number is being calculated as a result of the issuance of New Shares upon the exercise of any Replacement Warrants, the maximum aggregate number of New Shares that may be included in clause (ii) above shall not exceed the Replacement Cap.

No party shall take, or cause to be taken, including by entering into agreements or other arrangements with provisions or obligations that conflict, or purport to conflict, with the terms of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, any action with either an intent or effect of impairing any such other person’s rights under any of the Transaction Documents. “Confidentiality Agreement” means that certain Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2015, by and between Amazon and Atlas Air, Inc.

It is expressly agreed that, for purposes of this definition, none of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is an Affiliate of Amazon or any of its subsidiaries (and vice versa). “Control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of securities, by contract, management control, or otherwise. “Controlled” and “Controlling” shall be construed accordingly.

Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

5.11No Third Party Beneficiaries

. The parties agree that failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including a party’s failure to take all actions as are necessary on such party’s part in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which monetary damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. It is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief including injunctive relief and specific performance of the terms hereof, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, and each party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of a party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of such party’s obligations hereunder, this being in addition to any other remedies to which the parties are entitled at law or equity.

THIS INSTRUMENT IS ISSUED PURSUANT TO AND SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF (1) AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 4, 2016 (as THE SAME may later be amended, restated, modified or supplemented), BY AND BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES AND AMAZON.COM, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE ISSUER AND (2) AN AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF March 27, 2019 (as THE SAME may later be amended, restated, modified or supplemented), BY AND BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES AND AMAZON.COM, INC. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENTS. ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENTS WILL BE VOID.

(i)Each of Warrant-A and Warrant-B is hereby supplemented by adding the following as a new Section 14 and renumbering the succeeding sections accordingly:

14.Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Corporation shall not honor any exercise of this Warrant, and a Warrantholder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted exercise set forth on an applicable Notice of Exercise, such Warrantholder (together with such Warrantholder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Warrantholder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and any other applicable regulations of the SEC, including any “group” of which the Warrantholder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, for purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Warrantholder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable under the Notice of Exercise with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (a) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of any Warrant beneficially owned by such Warrantholder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (b) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Warrantholder or any of its Attribution Parties that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 14, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable regulations of the SEC.  In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the

-27-


 

SEC.  For purposes of this Section 14, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Warrantholder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (x) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the SEC, or (z) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the Warrantholder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  Upon the written request of a Warrantholder (which may be by email), the Corporation shall, within three (3) trading days thereof, confirm in writing to such Warrantholder (which may be via email) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including exercise of this Warrant, by such Warrantholder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Warrantholder.  The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the Warrantholder in any Notice of Exercise regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  The Warrantholder acknowledges that the Warrantholder is solely responsible for any schedules or statements required to be filed by it in accordance with Section 13(d) or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

(b)The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be 4.999% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 14); provided, however, that by written notice to the Corporation, which will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is given by the Warrantholder to the Corporation, the Warrantholder may waive or amend the provisions of this Section 14 to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other number, and the provisions of this Section 14 shall continue to apply.  Upon any such waiver or amendment to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived or amended by the Warrantholder without first providing the minimum written notice required by the immediately preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following notice of a Change of Control Transaction under Section 12(v) with respect to a Change of Control Transaction that is pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (by the Corporation or another Person (other than the Warrantholder or any Affiliate of the Warrantholder)), the Warrantholder may waive or amend the Beneficial Ownership Limitation effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation and may reinstitute a Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time thereafter effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation.

(c)None of the provisions of this Section 14 shall restrict in any way the number of shares of Common Stock which the Warrantholder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that the Warrantholder may receive in the event of a Change of Control Transaction as contemplated in Section 12(v) of this Warrant.
