Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 29, 2004, Critical Path, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue, in two closings, unsecured promissory notes (the “Notes”) having an aggregate principal balance of $18,000,000, together with warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 385,710 shares of Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) at a per-share purchase price of $14.00 (equivalent to $1.40 per share on a common equivalent basis).

 

On December 30, 2004, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $11,000,000 in exchange for Notes issued to the Investors in the aggregate principal amount of $11,000,000 and Warrants to purchase 235,712 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. In March 2005, at the option of the Company, the Company will receive aggregate proceeds of $7,000,000 in exchange for additional Notes issued to the Investors in the aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000 and Warrants to purchase 149,998 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Company has also agreed to provide certain incidental registration rights to Richmond III (one of the Investors) with respect to shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

 

The proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used for working capital purposes. Investors in the above-described private placement are affiliates of General Atlantic Partners 74, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Campina Enterprises Limited (an affiliate of Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd) and Richmond III, LLC (an affiliate of Peter Kellner), each of which is a current shareholder of the Company.

 

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Notes

 

Each Note issued will bear interest at thirteen and nine-tenths percent (13.9%) per annum. All payments under the Notes are deferred until maturity of the Notes or until they are otherwise due and payable. The outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes are due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) maturity of the Notes, which is December 30, 2007, (ii) when declared due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default or (iii) a change of control of the Company. The Company must also prepay the Notes in part under certain circumstances upon the sale of a business unit or division.

 

A copy of the form of Note is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Warrants

 

The Warrants entitle the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock until July 9, 2007 at an exercise price of $14.00 per share (equivalent to $1.40 per share on a common equivalent basis). The exercise price and the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as any dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock or common stock of the Company or any subdivision, combination or reclassification of the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

A copy of the form of Warrant is filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Series F Preferred Stock will rank pari passu with Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, and will rank senior to all other capital stock with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding up. The Series F Preferred Stock will accrue dividends at a simple annual rate of 5 3/4% of the purchase price of $14.00 (equivalent to $1.40 per share on a common equivalent basis), whether or not declared by the board of directors. Dividends in respect of the Series F Preferred Stock will not be paid in cash but will be added to the value of the Series F Preferred Stock and will be taken into account for purposes of determining the liquidation and change in control preference, conversion rate and voting rights. The Company must declare or pay dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock when the Company declares or pay dividends to the holders of common stock. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to notice of all shareholders’ meetings and are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the


shareholders for a vote, voting together with the holders of the common stock and all other classes of capital stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class (except where a separate vote is required by the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, its bylaws or California law). The holders of Series F Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote as a separate class on any amendment to the terms or authorized number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the issuance of any equity security ranking senior to the Series F Preferred Stock and the redemption of or the payment of a dividend in respect of any junior security. At any time, holders of Series F Preferred Stock may elect to convert their Series F Preferred Stock into common stock. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is currently convertible into ten shares of common stock. After three years from the date the Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is first issued, the Company may call for redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock under certain circumstances. On the fourth anniversary of the date the Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is first issued, the Company must call for redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

A copy of the Certificate of Determination of Preferences of Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES OF

 

SERIES F REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK,

 

PAR VALUE $0.001 PER SHARE, OF

 

CRITICAL PATH, INC.,

a California corporation

 

Pursuant to Section 401 of the California Corporations Code,

 

The undersigned, Mark J. Ferrer and Michael J. Zukerman, do hereby certify that:

 

They are the duly elected and acting Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, respectively, of Critical Path, Inc., a California corporation (the “Corporation”).

 

Pursuant to authority given in the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the following recitals and resolutions, creating a series of four hundred fifty thousand (450,000) shares of Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock were duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors on December 16, 2004.

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized, within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, to provide by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation, in one or more classes or series with such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof adopted by the Board of Directors, and as are not stated and expressed in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, or any amendment thereto, including (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) such provisions as may be desired concerning voting, redemption, dividends, dissolution or the distribution of assets and such other subjects or matters as may be fixed by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors under the California Corporations Code; and

 

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of a series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

 

1. Designation and Number of Shares. There shall be hereby created and established a series of Preferred Stock designated as “Series F Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series F Preferred Stock”). The authorized number of shares of Series F Preferred


Stock shall four hundred fifty thousand (450,000). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Section 10 below.

 

2. Rank. The Series F Preferred Stock shall with respect to the payment of the Series F Liquidation Payment in the event of Liquidation or Change of Control and with respect to dividend and redemption rights rank (i) pari passu with the Series E Preferred Stock and (ii) senior to (A) all series of common stock of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”)), (B) all series of preferred stock of the Corporation other than the Series E Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the Series C Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and the Series D Preferred Stock) and (C) each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation hereafter created which does not expressly rank pari passu with or senior to the Series F Preferred Stock (clauses (A), (B) and (C), together, the “Junior Stock”).

 

3. Dividends.

 

(a) Dividend Rate. The holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall accrue dividends at an annual rate equal to five and three-fourths percent (5¾%) of the Series F Price Per Share, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months, and shall accrue on a daily basis from the date of issuance thereof, whether or not the Corporation has earnings or profits, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends and whether or not declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall not be paid in cash and shall instead be added to the Series F Accreted Value on a semi-annual basis on December 31st and June 30th of each year (each such date, a “Series F Accrual Date”). In addition, if the Corporation declares and pays any dividends on the Common Stock, then, in that event, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share in such dividends on a pro rata basis, as if their shares had been converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 7(a) below immediately prior to the record date for determining the stockholders of the Corporation eligible to receive such dividends.

 

(b) Other Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions with respect to or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, any other shares of Capital Stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock have been paid in full. Notwithstanding Section 2 or this Section 3(b), dividends shall accrue on the Series D Preferred Stock as provided in Section 3 of the Amended and Restated Series D Certificate of Determination and on the Series E Preferred Stock as provided in Section 3 of the Series E Certificate of Determination.

 

4. Liquidation and Change of Control.

 

(a) Series F Liquidation Payment. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash for each share of Series F Preferred Stock held thereby, out of, but only to the extent of, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the Series F Accreted Value of such share of Series F Preferred Stock on the date of such Liquidation plus (B) all dividends accrued since the previous Series F Accrual Date or (ii) the aggregate consideration that would be paid to the holder of the number of shares of Common

 

2


Stock into which such share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Liquidation. If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to such holders of the sums which such holders are entitled to receive in such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be distributed among and paid to such holders ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

 

(b) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be paid for each share of Series F Preferred Stock held thereby, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the Series F Accreted Value of such share of Series F Preferred Stock on the date of such Change of Control plus (B) all dividends accrued since the previous Series F Accrual Date or (ii) the aggregate consideration that would be paid to the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control. Such amount shall be paid in the form of consideration paid in such Change of Control on the closing date of such Change of Control.

 

5. Redemption.

 

(a) Optional Redemption.

 

(i) Series F Optional Redemption Period. The Corporation shall not have any right to redeem any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock on or prior to the third anniversary of the Series E Closing Date. If on any date after the third anniversary of the Series E Closing Date, but prior to the Series F Automatic Redemption Date, the average closing price per share of the Common Stock, as reported on NASDAQ or other nationally recognized securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock trade, for any sixty (60) consecutive trading days after such third anniversary date, equals or exceeds four hundred percent (400%) of the Series F Accreted Value (the “Series F Optional Redemption Measurement Window”), the Corporation shall have the right, at its sole option and election, to redeem (unless otherwise prevented by law) within thirty (30) days following such Series F Optional Redemption Measurement Window (the “Series F Optional Redemption Period”), all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock in cash, at a price per share (the “Series F Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of the Series F Accreted Value plus all dividends accrued since the previous Series F Accrual Date.

 

(ii) Optional Redemption Payment. Written notice of any election by the Corporation to redeem the shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) (with a closing date prior to the expiration of the Series F Optional Redemption Period selected for such redemption (the “Series F Optional Redemption Date”)), shall be delivered in person, mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, mailed by overnight mail or sent by telecopier not less than ten (10), nor more than thirty (30), days prior to such Series F Optional Redemption Date to the holders of record of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, such notice to be addressed to each such holder at its address as shown in the records of the Corporation. The Series F Optional Redemption Price shall be made with respect to each share of Series F Preferred Stock by wire transfer of immediately available funds or check as promptly

 

3


 

as practicable and, in any event, within seven (7) days after receipt by the Corporation of the Series F Preferred Stock certificates to accounts designated in writing by the holders of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock (in the case of wire transfer) after surrender of the Series F Preferred Stock certificates pursuant to the following sentence. Upon notice from the Corporation, each holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock so redeemed shall promptly surrender to the Corporation, at any place where the Corporation shall maintain a transfer agent for its shares of Series F Preferred Stock, certificates representing the shares so redeemed, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Determination, any holder of Series F Preferred Stock may convert its shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(a) until the Series F Optional Redemption Price has been paid in full by the Corporation to such holder.

 

(iii) Termination of Rights. If shares of Series F Preferred Stock are redeemed in full on the Series F Optional Redemption Date, then after the Series F Optional Redemption Date, all rights of any holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, and such shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding; provided, however, that, if the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of the Series F Optional Redemption Price, then, subject to Section 5(b), the Corporation may not redeem the shares of Series F Preferred Stock until the next Series F Optional Redemption Measurement Window.

 

(b) Automatic Redemption.

 

(i) Automatic Redemption Date and Payment. On the fourth anniversary of the Series E Closing Date (the “Series F Automatic Redemption Date”), all of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall automatically, with no further action required to be taken by the Corporation or the holder thereof, be redeemed (unless otherwise prevented by law) in cash, at a redemption price per share (the “Series F Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of the Series F Accreted Value plus all dividends accrued since the previous Series F Accrual Date. Written notice of the Series F Automatic Redemption Date shall be delivered in person, mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, mailed by overnight mail or sent by telecopier not less than thirty (30), nor more than sixty (60), days prior to the Series F Automatic Redemption Date to the holders of record of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, such notice to be addressed to each such holder at its address as shown in the records of the Corporation. The Series F Redemption Price shall be made with respect to each share of Series F Preferred Stock by wire transfer of immediately available funds or check as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within seven (7) days after receipt by the Corporation of the Series F Preferred Stock certificates to accounts designated (in the case of wire transfer) in writing by the holders of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock after surrender of the Series F Preferred Stock certificates pursuant to the following sentence. Upon notice from the Corporation, each holder of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock so redeemed shall promptly surrender to the Corporation, at any place where the Corporation shall maintain a transfer agent for its shares of Series F Preferred Stock, certificates representing the shares so redeemed, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Determination, any holder of Series F Preferred Stock may convert its shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof until the Series F Redemption Price has been paid in full by the Corporation to any such holder.

 

4


(ii) Termination of Rights. If the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are redeemed in full on the Series F Automatic Redemption Date, then after the Series F Automatic Redemption Date, all rights of any holder of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, and such shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, whether or not the certificates representing such shares have been received by the Corporation; provided, however, that, if the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of the Series F Redemption Price, the rights of the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall continue until the Corporation cures such default.

 

(iii) Insufficient Funds for Redemption. If the funds of the Corporation available for redemption of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock on the Series F Automatic Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem in full the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any funds available by law for redemption of such shares according to the respective amounts which would be payable with respect to the number of shares owned by them if the shares to be so redeemed on such Series F Automatic Redemption Date were redeemed in full. Any shares of Series F Preferred Stock that the Corporation does not redeem on the Series F Automatic Redemption Date due to insufficient funds shall continue to be outstanding until redeemed and dividends on such shares shall continue to accrue and cumulate until redeemed. The Corporation shall in good faith use all commercially reasonable efforts as expeditiously as possible to eliminate, or obtain an exception, waiver or exemption from, any and all restrictions that prevented the Corporation from paying the Series F Redemption Price and redeeming all of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are available by law for the redemption of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, such funds shall be used as promptly as practicable to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which funds are available, on the basis set forth above.

With respect to any such vote, each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that number of votes as is equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of the Series F Accreted Value plus all dividends accrued since the previous Series F Accrual Date divided by (ii) the Series F Conversion Price as provided in Section 7(c) below.

 

(b) Series F Actions. At any meeting of the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock held for the purpose of voting upon any resolutions requiring the approval of the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class or series, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding shall constitute a quorum of the Series F Preferred Stock; the holders of shares of

Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast one vote per share of Series F Preferred Stock; and such resolution shall be deemed approved upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting.

 

(c) Action Without a Meeting. Except as provided in Section 305(b) and Section 603(d) of the California Corporations Code, any action required by the California Corporations Code to be taken at any annual or special meeting of holders of Series F Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class or series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(b) and shall be delivered (by hand or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of California, its principal place of business, or any officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock are recorded. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each holder of Series F Preferred Stock who signs the consent. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent, required by applicable law, be given to those holders of Series F Preferred Stock who have not consented in writing, and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

 

(d) Major Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock acting in accordance with Section 6(b) or 6(c), voting as a separate class, shall be a prerequisite to:

 

(i) any amendment to, restatement of or waiver of the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, by merger, consolidation, business combination or otherwise that is not a Change of Control;

 

(ii) the issuance, reservation for issuance or authorization of any Capital Stock of the Corporation or any right or option to acquire shares of Capital Stock ranking senior to the shares of Series F Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock; provided, that the Corporation may issue (A) options or shares pursuant to the Stock Option Plans, and (B) shares of Series F Preferred Stock issuable by the Corporation pursuant to agreements entered into prior to the Series F Closing Date;

 

(iii) the redemption of any Junior Stock other than the repurchase of unvested stock options or restricted stock from employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation upon termination of service or in accordance with the Stock Option Plans;

 

6


(iv) prior to the payment in full of the Series F Liquidation Payment, any distribution or payment of any dividend or other distribution to any Junior Stock, provided that, no consent of the holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be required for the accrual of dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock as provided in Section 3 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Determination of Preferences of Series D Preferred Stock; and

 

(v) any amendment to this Section 6(d).

 

7. Conversion.

 

(a) Optional Conversion. Any holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option, at any time and from time to time, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 7, any or all of such holder’s shares of Series F Preferred Stock into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock being so converted multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (x) the Series F Accreted Value divided by (y) the Series F Conversion Price, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7(c) below. Such conversion right shall be exercised by the surrender of certificate(s) representing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be converted to the Corporation at any time during usual business hours at its principal place of business maintained by it (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock), accompanied by written notice that the holder elects to convert such shares of Series F Preferred Stock and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation duly executed by the holder or its duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 7(i) below. All certificates representing shares of Series F Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be delivered to the Corporation for cancellation and canceled by it. As promptly as practicable after the surrender of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock, in any event within seven (7) days of the receipt of such certificates, the Corporation shall (subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws) deliver to the holder of such shares so surrendered certificate(s) representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock into which such shares are entitled to be converted. At the time of the surrender of such certificate(s), the Person in whose name any certificate(s) for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on such date, notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation shall then be closed or that the certificates representing such Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such Person.

 

(b) Termination of Rights. On the date of such optional conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) above all rights with respect to the shares of Series F Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote, shall terminate, except only the rights of holders thereof to (i) receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series F Preferred Stock have been converted and (ii) exercise the rights to which they are entitled as holders of Common Stock.

 

7


(c) (i) Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Common Stock. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, prior to conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock (w) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in Capital Stock of the Corporation, (x) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (y) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (z) issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock (other than any such event for which an adjustment is made pursuant to another clause of this Section 7(c)), then, and in each such case, the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Corporation) so that the holder of any share of Series F Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation that such holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had such share of Series F Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(c)(i) shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the case of any such subdivision, combination or reclassification, to the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

 

(ii) Certain Distributions. In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, prior to conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, distribute to all holders of shares of the Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the resulting or surviving Person and the Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation or another issuer, securities of the Corporation or another issuer or other assets (excluding cash dividends in which holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock participate, in the manner provided in Section 3(b); dividends payable in shares of Common Stock for which adjustment is made under another paragraph of this Section 7(c); and any distribution in connection with an Excluded Transaction) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase of any of the foregoing, then, and in each such case, the Series F Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Corporation) by multiplying the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the date of distribution less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the exercise of their fiduciary duties) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock and (y) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the date of distribution (but such fraction shall not be greater than one); provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Corporation if the holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights or warrants upon conversion at any time of shares of Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

8


(iii) Other Changes. In case the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, prior to the conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, shall take any action affecting its Common Stock similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in Sections 7(c)(i) or (ii) above or Section 7(f) below (but not including any action described in any such Section) and the Board of Directors shall consider whether an adjustment should thereupon be made in the Series F Conversion Price. If the Board of Directors in good faith determines that it would be equitable in the circumstances to adjust the Series F Conversion Price as a result of such action, then, and in each such case, the Series F Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors in good faith determines would be equitable in the circumstances (such determination to be evidenced in a resolution, a certified copy of which shall be mailed to the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock).

 

(iv) No Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 7(c) need be made to the Series F Conversion Price if the Corporation receives written notice from holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock that no such adjustment is required.

 

(d) Abandonment. If the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then no adjustment in the Series F Conversion Price shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

 

(e) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in the Series F Conversion Price, the Corporation shall within a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) following any of the foregoing transactions deliver to each registered holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock a certificate, signed by (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and (ii) the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Series F Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment.

 

(f) Reorganization, Reclassification. In case of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation (other than a Change of Control) or any capital reorganization, reclassification or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value) after the date hereof (each, a “Transaction”), the holder of each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive in such Transaction, in exchange for each share of Series F Preferred Stock, a security identical to (and not less favorable than) the Series F Preferred Stock, and provision shall be made therefor in the agreement, if any, relating to such Transaction.

 

(g) Reservation of Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock, such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and shall take all action to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time there

 

9


shall be insufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock; provided, that the holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall vote such shares in favor of any such action that requires a vote of stockholders.

 

(h) No Conversion Tax or Charge. The issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the converting holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock for such certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby, and such certificates shall be issued or delivered in the respective names of, or (subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws) in such names as may be directed by, the holders of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock converted; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock converted, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance or delivery thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

(i) Limitations on Conversions. Each holder of the Series F Preferred Stock’s right to convert its shares of Series F Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock shall not be limited by any notice delivered by the Corporation of any proposed redemption, Change of Control or any other event that notwithstanding this subsection (i) shall purport to limit such conversion right.

(a) the surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with a duly executed Exercise Form, and

 

(b) at the option of the Warrantholder, any of (i) the delivery of payment to the Company, for the account of the Company, by cash, wire transfer, certified or official bank check or any other means approved by the Company, of the aggregate Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America, (ii) the exercise of the Conversion Right as provided in Section 2.2 below or (iii) the tendering to the Company of Notes having an aggregate unpaid principal and interest amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price (the foregoing clause (iii), the “Tender Exercise”).

 


The Company agrees that the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid. The Company agrees that if the Warrantholder elects the Tender Exercise and delivers this Note in connection with such Tender Exercise having an aggregate unpaid principal and interest amount that is greater than the aggregate Exercise Price, then, the Company shall promptly (but in any event not later than five days) after such Tender Exercise, issue to the Warrantholder new Notes identical to the Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate and unpaid principal and interest amount of the Notes delivered to the Company in connection with the Tender Exercise minus (ii) the portion of the aggregate unpaid principal and interest amount of such Notes that was used in the Tender Exercise to pay the aggregate Exercise Price.

 

If during the Exercise Period (i) the Warrantholder exercises this Warrant or any of the events described in Section 5.7 occur and (ii) prior to the receipt of the Warrant Shares, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares and/or any of the consideration described in Section 5.7(a) or Section 5.7(b) the Warrantholder is required to obtain a consent or waiver under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, then the Exercise Period of this Warrant shall be extended to the extent necessary to enable the Warrantholder to obtain such consent or waiver and the Company shall reserve and set aside such Warrant Shares, shares of Common Stock and consideration, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Warrantholder for delivery to the Warrantholder after such consent or waiver is obtained.

 

2.2 Conversion Right.

 

(a) In lieu of the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Warrantholder shall have the right (but not the obligation), to require the Company to convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Right”) as provided for in this Section 2.2. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder (without payment by the Warrantholder of any of the Exercise Price) in accordance with Section 2.1(b) that number of whole shares of Series F Preferred Stock equal to the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (i) the value of the Warrant or portion thereof at the time the Conversion Right is exercised (determined by subtracting the aggregate Exercise Price at the time of the exercise of the Conversion Right from the aggregate Current Market Price for the shares of Series F Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant at the time of the exercise of the Conversion Right) by (ii) the Current Market Price of one share of Series F Preferred Stock at the time of the exercise of the Conversion Right.

 

(b) The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Warrantholder on any Business Day prior to the end of the Exercise Period by surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with a duly executed Exercise Form with the conversion section completed, exercising the Conversion Right and specifying the total number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock that the Warrantholder will be issued pursuant to such conversion.

 

- 2 -


(c) No fractional shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant. If such exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional shares, then the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of one share of Series F Preferred Stock on the date of exercise.

 

2.3 Warrant Shares Certificate. A stock certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form shall be delivered to the Warrantholder within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Exercise Form by the Company and, if the Conversion Right is not exercised, the payment by the Warrantholder of the aggregate Exercise Price. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

 

2.4 Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary stamp or other issuance taxes, if any, attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any Warrants or Warrant certificates or Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the then Warrantholder as reflected upon the books of the Company.

 

3. Restrictive Legends. Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 3, (a) each Warrant (and each Warrant issued in substitution for any Warrant pursuant to Section 6) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the form as set forth on the cover of this Warrant and (b) each certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and each certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Warrant Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the following legend:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY FOREIGN JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantholder may require the Company to issue a Warrant or a certificate for Warrant Shares, in each case without a legend, if either

 

(i) such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case may be, have been registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) the Warrantholder has delivered to the Company an opinion of legal counsel (from a firm reasonably satisfactory to the Company) which opinion shall be addressed to the Company and be reasonably satisfactory in form and

 

- 3 -


substance to the Company’s counsel, to the effect that such registration is not required with respect to such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case may be or (iii) such Warrant or Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision then in effect) under the Securities Act.

 

4. Reservation and Registration of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a) All Warrant Shares that are issued upon the exercise of this Warrant and all shares of Common Stock that are issued upon the conversion of the Warrant Shares shall, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and not subject to any preemptive rights, and be free from all taxes, liens, security interests, charges, and other encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue.

 

(b) The Company shall at all times have authorized and reserved, and shall keep available and free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Warrant Shares.

 

(c) The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, spin-off, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action or inaction, seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and shall at all times in good faith assist in performing and giving effect to the terms hereof and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against dilution or other impairment.

 

5. Anti-dilution Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares to be received upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 

5.1 Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification of Series F Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding that no shares of Series F Preferred Stock may be outstanding, in the event that the Company shall at any time or from time to time, after the issuance of this Warrant but prior to the exercise hereof, (v) make a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock payable in Capital Stock, (w) subdivide the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock into a larger number of shares, (x) combine the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, (y) issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the Series F Preferred Stock or (z) take any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (v)-(y) with respect to its shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is not made pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth in Sections 7(c) and 7(f) of the Series F Certificate of Determination (other than any such event for which an adjustment is made pursuant to another clause of this Section 5), then, and in each such case, (A) the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable (the “Warrant Share Number”) immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company) so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of

 

- 4 -


this Warrant the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock and other securities of the Company that it would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such event and had the shares of Series F Preferred Stock been converted to shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such event and (B) the Exercise Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately thereafter. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the case of any such subdivision, combination or reclassification, to the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

 

5.2 Certain Distributions. Notwithstanding that no shares of Series F Preferred Stock may be outstanding, in case the Company shall at any time or from time to time, after the issuance of this Warrant but prior to the exercise hereof, distribute to all holders of shares of Series F Preferred Stock or all holders of shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the resulting or surviving Person and shares of Series F Preferred Stock and shares of Common Stock are not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of indebtedness of the Company or another issuer, securities of the Company or another issuer or other assets (excluding dividends or distributions payable in shares of Series F Preferred Stock for which adjustment is made under Section 5.1 and any distribution in connection with an Excluded Transaction) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing, then, and in each such case, (A) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company) by being multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be such Current Market Price of Series F Preferred Stock immediately prior to the date of distribution less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the exercise of their fiduciary duties) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or other assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Series F Preferred Stock and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Series F Preferred Stock immediately prior to the date of distribution (but such fraction shall not be greater than one) and (B) the Warrant Share Number shall be increased by being multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of one share of Series F Preferred Stock immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of such cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities, other assets or rights or warrants and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price of one share of Series F Preferred Stock immediately prior to such record date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the exercise of their fiduciary duties) of the portion of such cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities, other assets or rights or warrants so distributed. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

- 5 -


5.3 Other Changes. In case the Company at any time or from time to time, after the issuance of this Warrant but prior to the exercise hereof, shall take any action affecting its Series F Preferred Stock or its Common Stock similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in any of Sections 5.1, 5.2, or 5.7 (but not including any action described in any such Section) and the Board of Directors in good faith determines that it would be equitable in the circumstances to adjust the Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number as a result of such action, then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors in good faith determines would be equitable in the circumstances (such determination to be evidenced in a resolution, a certified copy of which shall be mailed to the Warrantholder).

 

5.4 No Adjustment; Par Value Minimum. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 5 need be made to the Exercise Price or Warrant Share Number if the Company receives written notice from the Warrantholder that no such adjustment is required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall not be adjusted below the par value of a share of Series F Preferred Stock.

 

5.5 Abandonment. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of shares of its Series F Preferred Stock or its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or Warrant Share Number shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

 

5.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in the Exercise Price or Warrant Share Number, the Company shall within a reasonable period (not to exceed ten (10) days) following any of the foregoing transactions deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate, signed by (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and (ii) the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number in effect following such adjustment.

 

5.7 Spin-off; Reorganization, Reclassification or Change of Control.

 

(a) In case of any spin-off by the Company of another Person (the “Spin-off Entity”) at any time after the issuance of this Warrant but prior to the exercise hereof, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a new warrant, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Majority Warrantholders, entitling the Warrantholder to purchase, at the exercise price equal to the excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such spin-off over the adjusted Exercise Price pursuant to Section 5.2, the number of shares of preferred stock or other proprietary interest in the Spin-off Entity that the Warrantholder would have owned had the Warrantholder, immediately prior to such spin-off, exercised this Warrant.

 

(b) In case of any capital reorganization, reclassification, Change of Control, merger or consolidation (other than a “reincorporation” merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation) of the Company or other change of outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par

 

- 6 -


value to no par value, or from no par value to par value) (each, a “Transaction”) at any time after the issuance of this Warrant but prior to the exercise hereof, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Warrantholder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to effecting such Transaction a certificate stating that the Warrantholder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for, or exchange this Warrant for a new Warrant exercisable for, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities, property or cash receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock into which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such Transaction, and provision shall be made therefor in the agreement, if any, relating to such Transaction. Such certificate shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this Section 5.7 and any equivalent thereof in any such certificate similarly shall apply to successive transactions.

 

5.8 Notices. In case at any time or from time to time:

 

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its shares of Series F Preferred Stock or its shares of Common Stock;

 

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of shares of its Series F Preferred Stock or its shares of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Capital Stock or any other rights or warrants;

 

(c) there shall occur a spin-off or Transaction; or

 

(d) the Company shall take any other action that would require a vote of the Company’s stockholders;

 

then the Company shall mail to the Warrantholder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights or warrants or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Series F Preferred Stock of record and the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or granting of rights or warrants are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such spin-off or Transaction is expected to become effective and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Series F Preferred Stock of record and the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Series F Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, for shares of stock or other securities or property or cash deliverable upon such spin-off or Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any event to which Section 5.7 is applicable, the Company shall also deliver the certificate described in such Section 5.7 to the Warrantholder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to effecting such reorganization or reclassification as aforesaid.

 

6. Loss or Destruction of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of such bond or indemnification as the Company may reasonably require, and, in the case of such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor.

8. Amendments. No amendments or waivers of any provision of this Warrant, and no consent by the Warrantholder to any departure by the Company, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing, and signed by Warrantholders holding Warrants exercisable for shares of Series F Preferred Stock representing at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon all Warrantholders and all holders thereof.

A. The Company and the Rights Agent entered into that certain Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2001, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2001, that certain Amendment No. 2 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2003, that certain Amendment No. 3 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2004, that certain Amendment No. 4 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2004 and that certain Amendment No. 5 to Preferred Stock Rights Agreement dated as of June 24, 2004 (the “Agreement”).

 

B. The Company desires to amend the Agreement in certain respects in order to permit certain investors to purchase securities being offered by the Company without causing such investors to become Acquiring Persons (as defined in the Agreement) and thereby trigger the occurrence of a Distribution Date (as defined in the Agreement).

 

C. Under the Agreement, the Company and the Rights Agent may amend the Agreement, at any time prior to a Distribution Date, which has yet to occur.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 27 of the Agreement, the Company and the Rights Agent hereby amend, effective upon the date hereof, the definition of the term “Acquiring Person” set forth in Section 1(a) of the Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a) “ACQUIRING PERSON” shall mean any Person who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding, but shall not include the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person as the result of an acquisition of Common Shares or Exchangeable Shares by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person to 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; provided, however, that if a Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding by reason of share repurchases by the Company and shall, after such share repurchases by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares of the Company (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by (i) the Company on the outstanding Common Shares in Common Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares or (ii) Exchangeco on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares in Exchangeable Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares), then such Person shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person unless, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional

 


Common Shares of the Company, such Person does not beneficially own 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

 

(i) if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), has become such inadvertently (including, without limitation, because (x) such Person was unaware that such Person Beneficially Owned a percentage of the Common Shares of the Company that would otherwise cause such Person to be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), or (y) such Person was aware of the extent of the Common Shares of the Company such Person Beneficially Owned but had no actual knowledge of the consequences of such Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement) and without any intention of changing or influencing control of the Company, and if such Person divested or divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such Person would no longer be an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), then such Person shall not be deemed to be or to have become an “Acquiring Person” for any purposes of this Agreement;

 

(ii) if, as of the date of this Agreement, any Person is the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company outstanding, such Person shall not be or become an “Acquiring Person,” as defined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1(a), unless and until such time as such Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of additional Common Shares of the Company (other than pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made by (x) the Company on the outstanding Common Shares in Common Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares or (y) Exchangeco on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares in Exchangeable Shares or pursuant to a split or subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares), unless, upon becoming the Beneficial Owner of such additional Common Shares of the Company, such Person is not then the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding; and

 

(iii) the term “Acquiring Person” shall not mean:

The Company has established procedures to implement timely additional rules and regulations applicable to the Company that may be promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

ARTICLE VII

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

7.1 Indemnification. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Investors and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, Claims, or written threats thereof (including, without limitation, any Claim by a third party), damages, expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise) or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company in the Transaction Documents. The amount of any payment to any Indemnified Party herewith in respect of any Loss shall be of sufficient amount to make such Indemnified Party whole for any diminution in value of the Warrants, the Series F Preferred Stock, the Warrant Shares and/or Common Shares, as applicable, directly caused by such breach. In connection with the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify for expenses as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party is reimbursed under this Article VII for any expenses, such reimbursement of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the Losses in question resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party.

 

7.2 Notification. Each Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any Claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article VII or (b) under this Article VII unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. In case any such Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand,

 

29


are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such Claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all of such fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties or between the Indemnified Parties and any third party, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party is reimbursed under this Article VII for any expenses, such reimbursement of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the Losses in question resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected against an Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article VII shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.

 

7.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VII from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, any reasonable legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

8.2 FIRPTA Certificate. If requested by any of the Investors, as promptly as practicable, but not later than five (5) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the Company shall deliver to such Investor, in form and substance satisfactory to such Investor, a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the

Except as provided in Article VII, no Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns is intended to be a beneficiary of this Agreement.

 

10.4 Amendment and Waiver.

 

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Company or the Investors in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the Company or the Investors at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

(b) Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by the Company or the Investors from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Company and the Investors, and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(c) The Investors acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Notes, no Investor shall be entitled to take any action permitted to be taken by such Investor under this Agreement or the Notes unless such Investor holds, together with its Affiliates, Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to at least 40% of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Notes issued at the Initial Closing and such Investor gives prompt written notice to the other Investors after such exercise or exercises.

 

10.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

10.6 Richmond III Registration Rights.

35


held by Richmond III in such Incidental Registration, as if Richmond III were a Designated Holder. The rights and obligations (including provision relating to registration expenses and indemnification and contribution) of a Designated Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement shall apply equally to the registration right granted to Richmond III under this Section to the extent applicable to effect the registration rights hereunder.

 

10.7 Coinvestor Sub-Group Board Seat. The Company covenants and agrees to cause the nomination of Mr. Edmond Ip Tak Chuen, as the nominee of the Coinvestor Sub-group (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), to the Company’s Board of Directors at its next board meeting pursuant to its obligation under Section 3.1(b) of the Stockholders Agreement.

The decision of the Board of Directors with respect to the privileged or confidential nature of such information shall be final and binding. Notice of meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors to the director nominated by the Coinvestor Sub-group and to the director nominated by the General Atlantic Stockholders (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) shall constitute notice of such meetings to the Observers.

(c) The “Series F Closing Date” (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Determination) is December 30, 2004.

 

10.10 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

10.12 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair the benefits of the remaining provisions hereof.

 

10.13 Rules of Construction. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to sections or subsections refer to sections or subsections of this Agreement.

 

10.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Documents are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Documents supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

 

10.15 Fees. In the event that the Investors fail to consummate the purchase of the Notes and the Warrants for any reason, the Company will not be responsible for any out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Investors. However, if the First Closing is consummated, the Company will reimburse the Investors for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of the Notes and Warrants, including fees and reasonable disbursements of counsel.

 

10.16 Publicity; Confidentiality. Except as may be required by applicable Requirements of Law, none of the parties hereto shall issue a publicity release or public announcement or otherwise make any disclosure concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Investors or the business, technology and financial affairs of the Company, without prior approval by the other parties hereto; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any of the Investors from disclosing information (a) that is already publicly available, (b) that was known to such

 

37


Investor on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company, (c) that may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, provided that such Investor will use reasonable efforts to notify the Company in advance of such disclosure so as to permit the Company to seek a protective order or otherwise contest such disclosure, and such Investor will use reasonable efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the Company, with the Company in pursuing any such protective order, (d) to the extent that such Investor reasonably believes it appropriate in order to comply with any Requirement of Law, (e) to such Investor’s or the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders, advisors, employees, members, partners, controlling persons, auditors or counsel or (f) to Persons from whom releases, consents or approvals are required, or to whom notice is required to be provided, pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. If any announcement is required by any Requirement of Law to be made by any party hereto, prior to making such announcement such party will deliver a draft of such announcement to the other parties and shall give the other parties reasonable opportunity to comment thereon; provided, however, that the Investors may file an amendment to their Schedule 13D and Forms 4 with the Commission without either soliciting any comments from any of the other parties hereto or delivering a copy of such filings to any of the other parties hereto, except as required by law or regulation. Each of the Investors acknowledge that if such Investor becomes aware of material non-public information, such Investor’s ability to trade in the Company’s securities may be restricted.

 

10.17 Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall execute such documents and perform such further acts (including, without limitation, obtaining any consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions by, or giving any notices to, or making any filings with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person) as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or to perform the provisions of this Agreement.
