otherwise dispose of any securities of the Issuer (including the IPO Securities, Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities or any shares of common stock of the Issuer into which such Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities convert, as applicable) or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for such offering (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Issuer or such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period not to exceed 180 days (or such other period as may be requested by the Issuer or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (1) the publication or other distribution of research reports, and (2) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto, but in no event shall such period of time exceed 34 days after the expiration of the 180-day period) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Issuer or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the IPO. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3(a)(iv) shall apply only to the Issuer’s initial offering of equity securities, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement or shares purchased by the Holder in open market transactions following the IPO or any initial public offering of the Company’s securities following conversion of this Note into Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities in accordance with Section 5(a), and shall only be applicable to the Holder if all officers, directors and greater than 1% stockholders of the Issuer enter into similar agreements. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Issuer or the underwriters shall apply to the Holder subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, waive or terminate these restrictions with respect to shares of common stock of the Issuer with a value of up to $100,000 for any one individual, provided, that in the aggregate, this discretionary waiver or termination may not be used to allow the sale of shares of common stock of the Issuer, in the aggregate for all individuals, representing more than 3% of the sum of (x) the shares subject to this lock-up provision and (y) the shares subject to all other lock-up provisions and agreements. The underwriters in connection with the initial public offering of equity securities are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 3(a)(iv) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.

 

  (b)    Non-IPO

Liquidity Event.

(i)    No later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the first public filing date of any registration statement for any class or series of the Issuer’s Common Equity (other than in connection with an IPO) in connection with which the Issuer expects to register such Common Equity under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall provide the Holder with a written notice of such

 

4


filing date (the “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Notice”). The Non-IPO Liquidity Event Notice shall specify the Principal Market or other recognized securities exchange (a “Market”) on which such Common Equity is expected to be listed or admitted for trading, and the anticipated commencement of trading in such Common Equity on such Market (the “First Trading Day”). The date of the anticipated First Trading Day will be determined in good faith by the Issuer.

(ii)    Upon the occurrence of a Non-IPO Liquidity Event, at the option of the Requisite Holders, which shall be exercised by written notice to the Issuer no later than the anticipated First Trading Day (such written notice, a “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Notice”), the outstanding Note Obligations Amount will convert in full on the date that is twenty three (23) Trading Days after the First Trading Day into a number of the applicable class or series of Common Equity equal to (i) the Note Obligations Amount on such conversion date, divided by (ii) the product of (a) the average of the VWAP of such class or series of Common Equity during each Trading Day during the twenty (20) Trading Day period beginning on the First Trading Day (such average, the “Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Price”), multiplied by (b) one minus the then applicable Discount Rate.

(iii)    If the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver a Non-IPO Liquidity Event Conversion Notice as set forth in Section 3(b)(ii), the Note Obligations Amount shall remain outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Option).

4.    CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a)    The Issuer shall deliver to the Requisite Holders a Change of Control Notice no less than thirty (30) days prior to any anticipated Change of Control Effective Date, if, pursuant to such anticipated Change of Control, the Successor Issuer or Surviving Person (or parent company thereof), as applicable, will be a Public Issuer (a “Public Issuer Change of Control”); provided, that if the Issuer does not have thirty (30) days prior knowledge of such Public Issuer Change of Control, it shall provide a Change of Control Notice as soon as practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof (but in no event later than the twentieth (20th) day prior to the anticipated effective date of such Public Issuer Change of Control). The Requisite Holders will be required to make any applicable election (a “Change of Control Election”) with respect to the Notes in writing by notice to the Issuer no later than the tenth (10th) day after delivery of the applicable Change of Control Notice (such day, as applicable, the “Change of Control Election Deadline”). Following delivery of such Change of Control Notice, the Issuer shall provide the Requisite Holders with such information regarding the terms of such Public Issuer Change of Control as they may reasonably request, subject to any restrictions on the Issuer pursuant to any applicable confidentiality agreement. Any such election to convert the Notes in connection with a Public Issuer Change of Control shall be irrevocable once delivered to the Issuer.

(b)    Subject to the closing of such Public Issuer Change of Control,

 

5


(i)    if the Requisite Holders timely deliver a Change of Control Election as set forth in Section 4(a), the Note Obligations Amount shall automatically convert on the Change of Control Effective Date into an amount of shares of the Public Issuer Publicly Traded Shares of such Public Issuer (and/or cash and/or other property as determined in accordance with Section 4(c) below) equal to the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount, or

(ii)    if the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver a Change of Control Election as provided in Section 4(a) in connection with a Public Issuer Change of Control, the Issuer, in its sole discretion shall be entitled to exercise the Redemption Option in accordance with Section 6(c); provided, that if the Issuer does not exercise the Redemption Option in accordance with Section 6(c), the Note shall remain in full force and effect and the Note Obligations Amount shall remain outstanding.

(c)    In the case of Section 4(b)(i), in a Public Issuer Change of Control transaction in which common stock of the Issuer is converted into any two or more of (x) Public Issuer Publicly Traded Shares, (y) cash and/or (z) property other than cash (which shall be valued at such property’s fair market value as reasonably determined in good faith by the Issuer’s board of directors or a committee thereof), the Holder shall be paid in part cash, part property other than cash and part Public Issuer Publicly Traded Shares, in each case, with the percentage of cash and/or property other than cash of the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount being determined on a proportionate basis determined by comparing the aggregate cash and/or property other than cash received by holders of common stock of the Issuer to the aggregate value of Public Issuer Publicly Traded Shares received by holders of common stock of the Issuer, based on the average VWAP for such Public Issuer Publicly Traded Shares for each Trading Day during the five (5) Trading Day period ending the day before the Change of Control Effective Date. The remainder of the Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount will be paid in Public Issuer Publicly Traded Shares in accordance with the definition of Change of Control Public Issuer Conversion Amount.

(d)    If the Change of Control is a not a Public Issuer Change of Control, then (1) the Issuer shall ensure that all obligations under this Note will be assumed by such Private Issuer who is the Successor Issuer or Surviving Person (or the parent company thereof), as applicable, and (2) from and after such Change of Control Effective Date, the term “Issuer” when used in the terms “Equity Round”, “Last Qualified Round”, and “Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities” shall refer to the Successor Issuer or Surviving Person (or the parent company thereof), as applicable, with respect to any Equity Rounds of the Successor Issuer or Surviving Person (or the parent company thereof), as applicable, occurring after such Change of Control Effective Date; provided, that prior to the occurrence of any subsequent Last Qualified Round of the Successor Issuer or Surviving Person (or the parent company thereof), as applicable, the term “Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities” shall be deemed to refer to the kind and amount of shares of Capital Stock, other securities or other property or assets that a holder of a share of Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities received in such Change of Control; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of conversion of this Note shall be adjusted as may be necessary to preserve the economic and financial value of this Note to the Issuer and the Holder.

5.    MATURITY DATE EVENTS.

(a)    If the Requisite Holders deliver in writing by notice to the Issuer a Maturity Conversion Election prior to December 12, 2021, then this Note will be converted on the Maturity Date into an amount of Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities equal to the Last Qualified Round Equivalent Securities Conversion Amount.

(b)    If the Requisite Holders deliver in writing by notice to the Issuer a Maturity Put Right Election prior to December 12, 2021, the Issuer shall either, in the sole discretion of the Issuer (such election, the “Maturity Put Issuer Election”):

(i)    pay the Holder the entire Maturity Put Cash Amount in full on the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 18(b); or

(ii)    issue to the Holder a note, which shall provide for, amongst other things, the following terms: (1) a maturity date of three years from the date of issuance of such note, (2) an original principal amount equal to the Maturity Put Cash Amount as of the date of issuance of such note, (3) an annual interest rate of 8.0% of the principal outstanding at the beginning of such year, payable annually in cash by the Issuer, subject to prepayment of the note; (4) payment by the Issuer annually until maturity of principal in an amount equal to no less than one-third of the Maturity Put Cash Amount as of the date of issuance of such note, subject to prepayment of the note; (5) substantially similar financial covenants and restrictions on the incurrence of debt, liens, dividends, stock repurchases or investments as set forth in Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement, and (6) the ability for the Issuer to prepay such note in full at any time, provided that as of any such date of prepayment of the note in full (such date, the “Prepayment Date”), the Issuer pays to the Holder an amount in cash such that the Holder has received from the Issuer, from the Issuance Date to and including the Prepayment Date, cash payment(s) amounting, in the aggregate, to the Maturity Put Cash Amount as of the Prepayment Date.

The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Holder of the Maturity Put Issuer Election within thirty (30) Business Days of the Issuer’s receipt of the Maturity Put Right Election. In connection with the exercise of the Maturity Put Right Election, the Holder shall deliver, or surrender the Note to a reputable common carrier for delivery, to the Issuer (or provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Prior to (x) paying the Maturity Put Cash Amount or (y) issuing the note pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Holder shall deliver to Purchaser this Note (or indemnification undertakings in lieu thereof). From and after either (1) the payment of the entire Maturity Put Cash Amount or (2) the issuance of the note pursuant to clause (ii) above, this Note shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. If, in the Maturity Put Issuer Election, the Issuer elects to issue a note to the Holder pursuant to clause (ii) above, then the Issuer and the Requisite Holders shall negotiate commercially reasonable terms of such note in good faith and shall agree on the terms of such note (which shall be consistent with the terms of Section 5(b)(ii) and shall otherwise be commercially reasonable) as promptly as practicable, but within ten (10) Business Days, after the delivery of the Maturity Put Issuer Election.

(c)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing Sections 5(a) or 5(b), if an IPO, Non-IPO Liquidity Event or Change of Control occurs during the six months prior to the Maturity Date, then the Holder shall retain the rights in Sections 3 and 4 of this Note with respect to such IPO, Change of Control, or Non-IPO Liquidity Event, as applicable.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, if at (or within thirty (30) days prior to) the Maturity Date, there exists a Material Financial Market Disruption, then (x) the Issuer shall have a one-time option to extend the Maturity Date for up to one (1) year (which such extended Maturity Date shall be deemed to be the “Maturity Date” for all purposes under this Note), which option may be elected by written notice to the Holder on or prior to the Maturity Date, and (y) the Requisite Holders shall have a one-time option to withdraw any prior elections pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) until the next applicable notice date prior to the Maturity Date (including any Maturity Date extended pursuant to Section 5(d)(x)); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, during the term of this Note, the Issuer may elect to pursue the actions related to clause (x) above one time and the Requisite Holders may elect to pursue the actions related to clause (y) above one time, regardless of the number of occurrences of a Material Financial Market Disruption.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, if and only if (i) the Issuer or a Subsidiary issues any Alternative Note(s), and (ii) in connection with a default on such Alternative Note(s) or upon the maturity date(s) (or within sixty (60) days prior to the maturity date(s) of such Alternative Note(s)), the Issuer or a Subsidiary becomes required to pay the holder(s) of such Alternative Note(s) an amount in cash greater than the Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment, then (x) the Issuer shall give the Requisite Holders prompt written notice of the potential occurrence of such required Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment (such written notice shall be delivered, to the extent practicable, at least thirty (30) days) prior to the potential occurrence of such required Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment, and to the extent not practicable, as soon as practicable thereafter), (y) the Requisite Holders will have thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the potential occurrence of the Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment to deliver in writing by notice to the Issuer an Alternative Note Maturity Put Right Election and (z) if the Requisite Holders timely deliver an Alternative Note Maturity Put Right Election, the Issuer shall pay the Holder the entire Alternative Note Maturity Put Cash Amount in full within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt by the Issuer of such Alternative Note Maturity Put Right Election in accordance with Section 18(b); provided, that if the Requisite Holders deliver an Alternative Note Maturity Put Right Election prior to the payment by the Issuer of the Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment, the payment of the Alternative Note Maturity Put Cash Amount shall be paid on the same day as the Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment, and such payment shall be pari passu with, the Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the delivery by the Issuer of the written notice of the potential occurrence of an Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment, the Issuer or a Subsidiary, as applicable, does not pay the Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment (as a result of a refinancing, cure of default, waiver, amendment of terms, extension of the maturity date or otherwise), then (A) the Issuer shall not be obligated to pay the Alternative Note Maturity Put Cash Amount regardless of the delivery by the Requisite Holders of an Alternative Note Maturity Put Right Election, and (B) the Requisite Holders shall retain the right

 

8


to exercise the rights set for in this Section 5(e) in connection with any subsequent Alternative Note Minimum Cash Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Requisite Holders shall not have an Alternative Maturity Put Right in the event of a refinancing of such Alternative Note(s). For the further avoidance of doubt, with respect to each particular Alternative Note and subject to clause (B) above, (1) the Issuer shall only be obligated to comply with the terms of this Section 5(e) on one occasion per set of Alternative Notes issued under a single purchase agreement, and the Requisite Holders shall only have one occasion on which to exercise the Alternative Note Maturity Put Right with respect to each such set of Alternative Notes, and (2) if the Requisite Holders do not timely deliver an Alternative Note Maturity Put Right Election in accordance with this Section 5(e), then this Note shall remain outstanding.

(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, if the Requisite Holders fail to timely deliver a Maturity Conversion Election in accordance with Section 5(a) or a Maturity Put Right Election in accordance with Section 5(b), then the Note Obligations Amount shall be due and payable by the Issuer on the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 1(a).

6.    CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES.

(a)    Conversion Right. Upon any Conversion Event, the outstanding Note Obligations Amount being converted shall be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Conversion Security, pursuant to the relevant terms set forth herein applicable to such Conversion Event. If the issuance of the Conversion Security would result in the issuance of a fractional share of the Conversion Security, the Issuer shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional share in an amount equal to the portion of the Note Obligation Amount otherwise represented by such fractional share. The Issuer shall pay any and all U.S. federal and state transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Conversion Security upon conversion of any Conversion Amount (provided, that the failure of the Issuer to pay any such transfer, stamp and similar tax shall not delay or have any impact on the Issuer’s issuance of such Conversion Security); provided, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of the Conversion Security to any Person other than the converting Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Conversion Security or as a result of such conversion and the Issuer shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Issuer the amount of any such transfer, stamp and similar tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer, that such transfer, stamp and similar tax has been paid or is not payable.

(b)    Mechanics of Conversion.

(i)    To exercise any of their conversion rights under this Note, (A) the Requisite Holders shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., San Francisco Time, on or prior to the applicable Conversion Notice Date as set forth in the table below, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Issuer and (B) the Holder shall surrender this Note to a reputable common carrier for delivery to the Issuer (or shall provide an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) on or prior to the applicable conversion date (“Conversion Date”) as set forth in the table below:

17.    DISPUTE RESOLUTION. If the Requisite Holders dispute the Issuer’s determination of the VWAP pursuant this Note, any adjustment to the terms of conversion of the Note effected by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii), Section 4(b)(i) or Section 4(c) or any arithmetic or other calculations by the Issuer under this Note, including, without limitation, any calculation of IRR, the Requisite Holders shall submit to the Issuer their determination or calculations thereof. If the Requisite Holders and the Issuer are unable to agree upon such determination, adjustment or calculation within five (5) Business Days of the submission by the Requisite Holders, then the Issuer shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter submit (a) the disputed determination of the VWAP, the disputed adjustment to the terms of conversion of the Note effected pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii), Section 4(b)(i) or Section 4(c) hereof, as the case may be, to an independent, reputable investment bank (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) investment banks nationally, by revenue) selected by the Issuer and approved by the Requisite Holders, or (b) the disputed arithmetic or other calculation by the Issuer under this Note to the Issuer’s independent, outside accountant, or if such accountant is unwilling, an accountant reasonably satisfactory to the parties (which is ranked in the top twenty (20) accounting firms nationally, by revenue). The Issuer shall cause such investment bank or accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be, and notify the Issuer and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be. The Issuer shall pay the costs and expense of such investment bank or accountant, as applicable, unless determination, adjustment or calculation of such investment bank or accountant is mathematically closer to the Issuer’s determination, adjustment or calculation than the determination, adjustment or calculation submitted by the Requisite Holders, in which case, the costs and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid by the Requisite Holders. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination, adjustment or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

18.    NOTICES AND PAYMENTS.

Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of any Interest Payment Due Date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of Interest due on such date.

All payments to be made by the

 

15


Issuer under this Note to any person other than a United States person (a “non-United States person”) (who has timely provided, on behalf of itself and/or its beneficial owners, as applicable, a properly completed and valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E and such other information as is required to certify such person’s compliance with Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code) shall be paid free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law, in which case Issuer shall withhold such taxes and such withheld amounts shall be treated as paid to the Holder to extent they are remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, and no additional amounts shall be required to be made by the Issuer to such non-United States person with respect to such taxes deducted or withheld. In the event that a taxing authority retroactively determines that a payment made by Issuer under this Note to a non-United States person should have been subject to withholding (or to additional withholding) for taxes, and the Issuer remits such withholding tax to the taxing authority, the Issuer will have the right to offset such amount (including interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon) against future payment obligations of the Issuer to such non-United States person under this Note. The Company agrees to keep any tax forms or certifications provided by Holder pursuant to this Section 18(b) or Section 7.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement confidential, except as the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be necessary to comply with applicable law.

19.    WAIVER OF NOTICE. To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Purchase Agreement.

20.    GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND SEVERABILITY.

The Issuer hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Issuer in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Issuer’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.

The Issuer and the Holder agree to file all tax returns in accordance with such treatment, and not to take any position inconsistent with such treatment in any tax return, refund claim, or other tax filing except as otherwise required by a governing federal, state or local tax authority. If the Note has neither been the subject of a Conversion Event nor repaid in full prior to the Maturity Date, or if the Issuer does not exercise the Redemption Option when applicable under this Note, then notwithstanding the foregoing, the yield and deemed maturity date shall be recalculated pursuant to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(c)(6) by Issuer in its reasonable discretion.

Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that (i) none of [                    ] , its stockholders or its Affiliates have assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any other Holder, its equityholders or its Affiliates with respect to the Transactions contemplated hereby or under any of the Transaction Agreements (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect hereto or thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether [                    ], its stockholders or its Affiliates have advised, are currently advising or will advise any other Holder, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any other Holder and (ii) [                    ] shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, seek the approval or consent of, or take into account the interest of any other Holder in connection with any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or its actions or omissions to act or otherwise under the Transaction Agreements. [                    ] shall not be liable to any other Holder for any loss or damage, including counsel fees, resulting from its actions or omissions to act or otherwise under the Transaction Agreements. In no event shall [                    ] be liable to the other Holder or any third party for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising out of its actions or omissions to act.
