(1)The amounts shown in this column do not reflect dollar amounts actually received by our named executive officers. Instead, these amounts include the full grant date fair value for awards granted during the indicated year. The grant date fair value was computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Unlike the calculations contained in our audited consolidated financial statements, this calculation does not give effect to any estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting, but assumes that the executive will perform the requisite service for the award to vest in full. The assumptions we used in valuing options are described in Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
  
(2)The amounts reflect bonus paid on the achievement of specified corporate goals, as discussed further below under "—Narrative to Summary Compensation Table—Annual Bonus."
  
(3)The amounts reflect severance payments accrued for Mr. Isaacson during 2019. Mr. Isaacson served as our Chief Financial Officer from January 7, 2019 to November 15, 2019 and continued providing services to us in an advisory capacity to support a transition of responsibilities through December 31, 2019. In connection with Mr. Isaacson's departure, we entered into a Severance Agreement and Release with Mr. Isaacson, pursuant to which we agreed Mr. Isaacson would receive his then current base salary through the transition period and, following the transition period, would be eligible to receive severance payments equal to continued payment of his base salary for six months, healthcare continuation coverage through June 30, 2020, and an additional payment of $100,000 representing approximately half of Mr. Isaacson’s target bonus in 2019.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

 

We review compensation annually for all employees, including our named executive officers. In setting executive base salaries and bonuses and granting equity incentive awards, we consider compensation for comparable positions in the market, the historical compensation levels of our executives, individual performance as compared to our expectations and objectives, our desire to motivate our employees to achieve short- and long-term results that are in the best interests of our stockholders, and a long-term commitment to our company. We do not target a specific competitive position or a specific mix of compensation among base salary, bonus or long-term incentives.

 

Our Compensation Committee has historically determined our executives' compensation. Our Compensation Committee typically reviews and discusses management's proposed compensation with the chief executive officer for all executives other than the chief executive officer. Based on those discussions and its discretion, our Compensation Committee then approves the compensation of each executive officer after discussions without members of management present.

 

Our Compensation Committee has engaged Willis Towers Watson, a compensation consultant, and reviewed Willis Towers Watson's compensation data for executives at similarly sized medical device companies when determining executive compensation.

 

Annual Base Salary

 

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers that established their initial base salaries and target bonus opportunities. These base salaries are reviewed periodically by our Compensation Committee. The following table presents the annual base salaries for each of our named executive officers for 2018, 2019 and 2020. The 2018 base salaries for Drs. Goodnow and Jain became effective on January 1, 2018, the 2019 base salaries became effective on January 1, 2019, and the 2020 base salaries became effective on January 1, 2020. Mr. Isaacson and Dr. Kaufman joined our company on January 7, 2019 and March 4, 2019, respectively, but the amounts included in the table below reflect each named executive officer’s annualized base salary for 2019.

For 2018, bonuses were based on our achievement of specified corporate goals, including achieving specified revenue and expense targets, initiation of the U.S. 180-day sensor pivotal trial and successful completion of quality audits. Based on the level of achievement, our compensation committee awarded each of Dr. Goodnow and Dr. Jain 90% of their target bonuses based on their respective 2018 base salaries.

 

For 2019, bonuses were based on our achievement of specified corporate goals, including achieving specified revenue targets, achieving specified customer retention targets, achieving specified payor coverage targets, completion of all patient visits in our U.S. 180-day sensor pivotal trial, achieving a cost of goods sold target for sensor kits and achieving specified quality targets. Based on the level of achievement, our compensation committee awarded each of Drs. Goodnow and Jain 87% of their target bonuses based on their respective 2019 base salaries. Dr. Kaufman also received 87% of her target bonus, pro-rated based on her start date in 2019.

 

These actual bonus amounts are reflected in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table above.

(1)In March 2020, Dr. Goodnow exercised a portion of these options with respect to an aggregate of 160,000 shares pursuant to a trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which trading plan provided for the periodic exercises of these options in full over their respective remaining terms, as the options would expire worthless if not exercised by their respective expiration dates. After the March 2020 exercises, Dr. Goodnow voluntarily agreed to forfeit the remainder of these options and terminated the related Rule 10b5-1 plan. Accordingly, these options are no longer outstanding as of the date of hereof.

 

(2)One-fourth of the shares underlying this option were scheduled to vest on January 7, 2020 and the remaining shares were scheduled to vest in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter, subject to Mr. Isaacson’s continued service through each applicable vesting date. However, Mr. Isaacson ceased serving as our Chief Financial Officer on November 15, 2019. Thereafter, Mr. Isaacson continued providing services to us in an advisory capacity to support a transition of responsibilities until December 31, 2019. Accordingly, this option ceased vesting on December 31, 2019, at which point no shares were vested. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the option expired in accordance with its terms.

Employment Agreements, Severance and Change in Control Arrangements

 

Below are descriptions of employment agreements that our named executive officers entered into with us or Senseonics, Incorporated.

 

Agreement with Dr. Goodnow

 

In July 2015, Senseonics, Incorporated entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Dr. Goodnow that governs the terms of his employment with us. Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Goodnow was originally entitled to an annual base salary of $365,791 and was originally eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to 50% of his base salary, as determined by our Board of Directors. If Dr. Goodnow's employment is terminated by us without “cause” or if he resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in his employment agreement), he would be entitled to receive severance payments equal to continued payment of his base salary for 18 months, 100% of his target bonus, healthcare continuation coverage for up to 18 months, and reimbursement of expenses owed to him through the date of his termination. If Dr. Goodnow's employment is terminated by us without cause or if he resigns for good reason, coincident with a change in control (as defined in his employment agreement), he would be entitled to the benefits described above, although he would be entitled to 150%, rather than 100%, of his target bonus, and 50% of his then unvested equity awards would become fully vested. Additionally, if Dr. Goodnow's employment is terminated by us or any successor entity without cause within 12 months following a change in control, then 100% of his then unvested equity awards shall become fully vested. Additionally, all of the options granted to Dr. Goodnow prior to our public offering in March 2016 will become fully vested upon a change in control.

 

Agreement with Dr. Jain

 

In July 2015, Senseonics, Incorporated entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Dr. Jain, which was subsequently amended in April 2018, that governs the terms of his employment with us. Pursuant to the agreement as amended, Dr. Jain is entitled to an annual base salary of $376,000 subject to review and adjustment by our Board of Directors and is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to 50% of his base salary, as determined by our Board of Directors. If Dr. Jain's employment is terminated by us without “cause” or if he resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in his employment agreement), he would be entitled to receive severance payments equal to continued payment of his base salary for one year, a prorated portion of his target bonus for the year in which his service is terminated, healthcare continuation coverage for up to one year, and reimbursement of expenses owed to him through the date of his termination. If Dr. Jain's employment is terminated by us without cause or if he resigns for good reason, coincident with a change in control (as defined in his employment agreement), he would be entitled to the benefits described above, although in lieu of the bonus described above, he would be entitled to 125% of his target bonus, and 50% of his then unvested equity awards would become fully vested. Additionally, if Dr. Jain's employment is terminated by us or any successor entity without cause within 12 months following a change in control, then 100% of his then unvested equity awards would become fully vested. Additionally, all of the options granted to Dr. Jain prior to our public offering in March 2016 will become fully vested upon a change in control.

 

Agreements with Mr. Isaacson

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Isaacson was entitled to an annual base salary of $400,000 and was eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to 50% of his annual base salary based upon our board of directors’ assessment of Mr. Isaacson’s performance and our attainment of targeted goals as set by our Board of Directors in their sole discretion.   Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Isaacson also entered into an ideas, inventions, competition and confidentiality agreement with us.

In connection with Mr. Isaacson’s departure, on November 12, 2019, we and Mr. Isaacson entered into a Severance Agreement and Release. In connection with his separation, Mr. Isaacson continued providing services to us in an advisory capacity to support a transition of responsibilities until December 31, 2019. The Severance Agreement and Release provided that Mr. Isaacson would continue to receive his base salary through the transition period and, following the transition period, would be eligible to receive severance payments equal to continued payment of his base salary for six months, healthcare continuance coverage through June 30, 2020, and a payment of $100,000 representing approximately half of Mr. Isaacson’s target bonus in 2019. The Severance Agreement and Release contained a release and certain restrictive covenants that are binding upon Mr. Isaacson.

 

Agreement with Dr. Kaufman

 

In March 2019, Senseonics, Incorporated entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Kaufman that governs the terms of her employment with us. Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Kaufman is entitled to an annual base salary of $495,000 subject to review and adjustment by our Board of Directors and is eligible to receive an annual performance bonus of up to 50% of her base salary, as determined by our Board of Directors. If Dr. Kaufman’s employment is terminated by us without “cause” or if she resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in her employment agreement), she would be entitled to receive severance payments equal to continued payment of her base salary for nine months, a prorated portion of her target bonus for the year in which her service is terminated, healthcare continuation coverage for up to one year, and reimbursement of expenses owed to her through the date of her termination. If Dr. Kaufman’s employment is terminated by us without cause or if she resigns for good reason, coincident with a change in control (as defined in her employment agreement), she would be entitled to the benefits described above, although in lieu of the bonus described above, she would be entitled severance payments equal to continued payment of her base salary for one year and she would be entitled to 125% of her target bonus. Additionally, if Dr. Kaufman’s employment is terminated by us or any successor entity without cause within 12 months following a change in control, then 100% of her then unvested equity awards would become fully vested.

 

401(k) Plan

 

We maintain a defined contribution employee retirement plan for our employees. Our 401(k) plan is intended to qualify as a tax-qualified plan under Section 401 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so that contributions to our 401(k) plan, and income earned on such contributions, are not taxable to participants until withdrawn or distributed from the 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan provides that each participant may contribute a portion of his or her pre-tax compensation, up to the statutory limit. Under our 401(k) plan, each employee is fully vested in his or her deferred salary contributions. Employee contributions are held and invested by the plan's trustee, subject to participants' ability to give investment directions by following specified procedures. We currently make up to a 1% discretionary contribution or matching contribution to our 401(k) plan.

 

Non-Employee Director Compensation

 

In February 2016, our Board of Directors approved a non-employee director compensation policy which became effective upon the completion of our 2016 public offering. Under this non-employee director compensation policy, we pay each of our non-employee directors a cash retainer for service on our Board of Directors and for service on each committee on which the director is a member. The chairman of each committee receives a higher retainer for such service. These retainers are payable in arrears in four equal quarterly installments on the last day of each quarter, provided that the amount of such payment is prorated for any portion of such quarter that the director is not serving on our Board of Directors. No retainers were paid in respect of any period prior to the completion of our 2016 public offering. In October 2018, we amended our non-employee director compensation policy to increase the annual service retainers, based upon market data of comparable companies and recommendations presented by Willis Towers Watson. The retainers paid to non-employee directors for service on our Board of Directors and for service on each committee of our Board of Directors on which the director is a member are as follows:

 

   Member
Annual
Service
Retainer
   Chairman
Additional
Annual
Service
Retainer
 
Board of Directors  $37,500   $30,000 
Audit Committee   7,500    11,250 
Compensation Committee   6,000    6,600 
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee   4,000    3,625 

 

Our non-employee director compensation policy permits non-employee directors to elect to receive all or a portion of the annual cash compensation in the form of shares of our common stock. In addition, under our non-employee director compensation policy, each non-employee director elected to our Board of Directors will receive an option to purchase shares of common stock with an aggregate Black-Scholes option value of $212,500. The shares subject to each such stock option will vest monthly over a three year period, subject to the non-employee director's continued service as a director through each applicable vesting date. Further, on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders each non-employee director that continues to serve as a non-employee member on our Board of Directors will receive an option to purchase shares of common stock with an aggregate Black-Scholes option value of $106,500. The shares subject to each such stock option will vest on the one year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director's continued service as a non-employee director through each applicable vesting date. The exercise price of these options will equal the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. This policy is intended to provide a total compensation package that enables us to attract and retain qualified and experienced individuals to serve as directors and to align our directors' interests with those of our stockholders.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Transactions with Related Persons

 

Related-Person Transactions Policy and Procedures

 

We have adopted a related party transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related party transactions. For purposes of our policy only, a related party transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related party are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. A related party is any executive officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

 

Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related party transaction, including any transaction that was not a related party transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related party transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related party transaction to our Audit Committee, or, if Audit Committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board of Directors, for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related parties, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we will collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant stockholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our Code of Conduct, our employees and directors will have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related party transactions, our Audit Committee, or other independent body of our Board of Directors, will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including:

 

the risks, costs and benefits to us;
   
the impact on a director's independence in the event that the related party is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
   
the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and
   
the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.

 

The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related party transaction, our Audit Committee, or other independent body of our Board of Directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our stockholders, as our Audit Committee, or other independent body of our Board of Directors, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

 

Certain Related Party Transactions

 

Except as described below, there have been no transactions since January 1, 2018 to which we have been a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any members of their immediate family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements which are described under "Executive Compensation" and "Non-Employee Director Compensation."

 

17

 

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

We have entered into a registration rights agreement with certain of our 5% stockholders.

 

The registration rights agreement, among other things grants certain of our stockholders specified registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Senseonics, Incorporated stock previously held by them.

 

Indemnification Agreements

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions limiting the liability of directors, and our amended and restated bylaws provides that we will indemnify each of our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws also provide our Board of Directors with discretion to indemnify our officers and employees when determined appropriate by our Board of Directors.

 

In addition, we have entered into an indemnification agreement with our directors and executive officers.

 

Independence of the Board of Directors

 

As required under the NYSE American listing rules, a majority of the members of a listed company's board of directors must qualify as "independent," as affirmatively determined by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors consults with our counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of "independent," including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of NYSE American, as in effect from time to time.

 

Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. DeFalco, Fiorentino, Prince and Roeder and Drs. Edelman and Klein, representing six of our eight directors, are "independent directors" as defined under the listing rules of the NYSE American. In addition, our Board of Directors determined that M. James Barrett, who served on our board until his retirement in June 2019, was an “independent director” as defined under the listing rules of the NYSE American. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors found that none of these directors or nominees for director had a material or other disqualifying relationship with us. Dr. Goodnow is not an independent director by virtue of his employment with us as our President and Chief Executive Officer and Dr. Kaufman is not an independent director by virtue of her employment with us as our Chief Medical Officer.

 

In addition, each of the members of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent, as determined in accordance with the applicable independence requirements for such committee.

Pre-approval may also be given as part of our Audit Committee's approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual explicit case-by-case basis before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to provide each service. On a periodic basis, the independent registered public accounting firm reports to our Audit Committee on the status of actual costs for approved services against the approved amounts.

 

All of the services of Ernst & Young LLP for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 described above were pre-approved in accordance with the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy.

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

 

THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AND RELEASE (“Agreement”) is made and entered into between Jon D. Isaacson “Employee”) and Senseonics, Incorporated (“Senseonics”). The terms of this Agreement are set forth below:

 

1.       Senseonics and Employee have agreed that Employee’s employment will terminate, and on November 15, 2019 Employee will enter into a “Transition Period” that will continue through December 31, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), provided Employee continues to perform his work in a reasonably satisfactorily manner as determined by Senseonics.

 

2.       In consideration of and in exchange for Employee’s execution of this Agreement and a second severance and release agreement on or after December 31, 2019, and provided he continues to perform his work in a reasonably satisfactorily manner during the Transition Period as determined by Senseonics and in accordance with the terms below, Senseonics will:

 

(a)       following the successful conclusion of the Transition Period, provide Employee with severance pay in the form of continued compensation for six months at Employee’s existing base salary for a total amount paid of approximately $200,000 through salary continuation to June 30, 2020, at regularly scheduled pay periods, less deductions and withholdings required by law, provided, that, to the extent that Employee does not perform his duties or devote his full time and best efforts to the Company during the Transition Period, to the extent requested as set out in (d) below, as determined in the reasonable discretion of his successor, and such failure remains uncured or recurs after five days written notice, this amount shall be reduced by $25,000;

 

(b)       reimburse to Employee the premiums for general health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) through June 30, 2020, in an amount equal to the premium previously paid by Senseonics on Employee’s behalf while Employee was employed by Senseonics, to the extent that Employee remains eligible for said insurance coverage under COBRA, and provided that Employee submits proof of payment of the COBRA premium to Senseonics within 7 business days of payment. If Employee does not submit to Senseonics proof of payment within 7 business days of payment, Employee agrees that Senseonics does not have any obligation to reimburse Employee for that or any further COBRA premiums;

 

(c)       provide Employee with additional severance pay in the amount of $100,000.00, less deductions and withholdings required by law, representing approximately 50% of the 2019 target payout bonus Employee was eligible to earn under his existing Employment Agreement and the Company’s incentive plans, paid when other Company executives are paid their 2019 annual bonus, but in no event later than April 15, 2020; and

(d)       offer Employee continued employment for the Transition Period at his current salary in the role of Senior Financial Advisor, provided he performs all assigned job duties to the reasonable satisfaction of Senseonics.

Employee is not waiving rights or claims that may arise after the date of this Agreement or which otherwise cannot be waived. Employee and Senseonics are parties to an Indemnification Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to alter or limit Employee’s rights and protections under the Indemnification Agreement, or Employee’s indemnification rights under Senseonics’ certificate of incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware general corporate law. Further, Employee is not waiving any rights as an insured under any director’s and officer’s liability policy now or previously in effect. EMPLOYEE FULLY UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS A GENERAL WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS, except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph.

4.       Employee agrees that Employee shall not initiate, and represents that Employee has not initiated and does not intend to initiate, any action before any administrative, judicial or other forum with respect to any matter arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with, Employee’s employment by Senseonics or the termination thereof, to the extent permitted by law. Employee hereby releases and waives Employee’s right to any monetary recovery in connection with any proceeding initiated by any state or federal agency, or Employee, or anyone on Employee’s behalf, against Senseonics or any other Releasee, in connection with any matter arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with, Employee’s current employment by Senseonics or the termination thereof, to the extent permitted by law. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any law or regulation, nor can this Agreement be construed to prohibit Employee from filing a charge with or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by any government agency charged with enforcement of any law.

 

5.       Employee acknowledges and agrees that the payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall not be construed or interpreted as an admission of any liability on the part of Senseonics or any other Releasee. Senseonics specifically disclaims liability to or wrongful treatment of Employee on the part of Senseonics or any other Releasee.

 

6.       Employee represents and warrants that Employee has received any and all wages and other compensation for work performed and all overtime compensation and family and medical leave to which Employee may have been entitled, and that Employee is not currently aware of any facts or circumstances constituting sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or retaliation for reporting sexual harassment or abuse, by Senseonics or any other Releasee, or a violation by Senseonics or any other Releasee of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), as amended, the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law (“MWPCL”), as amended, or other federal, state or local laws relating to the employment relationship or governing employment practices. Employee further represents that Employee has not suffered any on-the-job injury for which Employee has not already filed a claim.

7.             (a) Except as relating to claims of sexual harassment or sexual abuse, Employee agrees that Employee will keep the terms, amount and fact of this Agreement confidential, and that Employee will not hereafter disclose or discuss any information concerning this Agreement, or any discussions preceding it, to any third person, including, but not limited to, any past, present or future employee of Senseonics. Except as relating to claims of sexual harassment or sexual abuse, Employee may only disclose this Agreement to Employee’s attorney, tax advisor or immediate family, provided that Employee expressly advises them of the obligation to keep this Agreement confidential and that they agree to do so.

 

(b) Employee agrees to comply with Employee Agreement on Ideas, Inventions and Confidential Information, incorporated by reference and attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement. Except as provided by Paragraph 4, Employee specifically understands and acknowledges Employee’s obligation to keep confidential information of Senseonics and represents that Employee has returned, or will hereafter promptly return, all property and information belonging to Senseonics, including, but not limited to, all keys, access cards, equipment of any kind, technical information, customer information and pricing information, such as customer lists and customer identification information, employee information, specifications, quotations, marketing strategies, inventory records, sales records, and confidential or trade secret materials. Employee acknowledges that Employee has not kept, and will not keep, any copies, nor made or retained any abstracts or notes of such information. Employee recognizes that Senseonics has received from third parties confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on Senseonics’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Employee agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or use it, except Employee may use such information following the Termination Date to the extent required to provide support requested by the Company.

 

Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, provided that it is disclosed solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding filed under seal so that it is not disclosed to the public. If Employee brings suit against Senseonics for retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose a trade secret to Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and Employee does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.

(c)       Except as relating to claims of sexual harassment or sexual abuse, neither this Agreement nor the fact of this Agreement shall be offered into evidence by any of the parties hereto in any action or proceeding in any court, arbitration, administrative agency or other tribunal for any purpose whatsoever other than to carry out or enforce the provisions of this Agreement. If Employee is subpoenaed for any reason having to do with Employee’s employment with Senseonics, Employee will provide notice of the subpoena by facsimile or hand delivery within five days of the receipt of the subpoena, and at least five days prior to any requested production of documents or testimony, to Meredith S. Campbell, Esq., Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A., 12505 Park Potomac Ave., Sixth Floor, Potomac, Maryland 20854.

 

8.       Employee agrees that he will at no time willfully make any derogatory statements about or otherwise disparage, defame, impugn or damage the reputation or integrity of Senseonics or any other Releasee, to any person or entity, including but not limited to, any employee, customer, former customer or potential customer of Senseonics, except as provided by Paragraph 4 or in response to valid compulsory legal process or as otherwise required by law, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 7(c) hereof. If asked about his departure, Employee will respond with a statement consistent with the message: “I left Senseonics to pursue other interests. I remain a supporter of the company and the product.”

 

9.       Employee agrees that Employee will not voluntarily aid, provide any information to or assist in any capacity whatsoever any other employee or former employee of Senseonics or any other person, in the pursuit of any claims, actions or proceedings brought against Senseonics or any other Releasee, except as provided by Paragraph 4 or in response to valid compulsory legal process or as otherwise required by law, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 7(c) hereof.

 

10.       Employee agrees that all requests for reference shall be directed to Yulia Sayegh. Senseonics agrees that in response to a reference request directed to Yulia Sayegh, it will respond with Employee’s title and dates of employment, and with a statement consistent with the message that “Jon left Senseonics to pursue other interests. He remains a supporter of the company and the product. The Company wishes him well in his future endeavors.” Senseonics agrees to instruct in writing (by e-mail) its President, Board of Directors, and senior leadership team not to make any statement orally or in writing that criticizes, ridicules or disparages or is otherwise derogatory of Employee.

(a)               Mandatory Registration. On or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement will be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration will be on Form S-1, and if for any reason the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-1, then another appropriate form for such purpose) and will contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) a “Plan of Distribution” section, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, as the same may be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline, and will use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement (or a Subsequent Form S-3) continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities as determined by the counsel to the Company (the “Effectiveness Period”).

 

(b)              Suspension Periods. Notwithstanding Section 2(a), the Company may, at any time, delay the filing or delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or, without suspending such effectiveness, deliver a notice (a “Suspension Notice”) that instructs any selling Holders not to sell any securities included in the Registration Statement or delay the filing of any amendment or supplement pursuant to Section 3, if the board of directors of the Company has determined and promptly notifies the selling Holders in writing that in its reasonable good faith judgment (i) a material event has occurred or is likely to occur with respect to the Company that has not been publicly disclosed and, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company and its ability to consummate the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities or (ii) such registration could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, tender offer or other significant transaction involving the Company (a “Suspension Period”), by providing the selling Holders with written notice of such Suspension Period and the reasons therefor. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to provide such notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the commencement of such a Suspension Period; provided, however, that in any event the Company will provide such notice no later than the commencement of such Suspension Period; provided, further, that in no event will a Suspension Period exceed 30 days and in no event shall the total number of days subject to a Suspension Period during any consecutive 12-month period exceed 45 days. Any Suspension Period will not be deemed to end until the Holders have received a notice from the Company stating that such Suspension Period has ended.

 

4

 

 

(c)               Additional Interest. The parties hereto agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Company fails to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2 and that, in such case, it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if:

 

(i)              the Company does not file a Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline;

 

(ii)              a Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline;

 

(iii)            the Company extends any Suspension Period beyond 45 days during any consecutive 12-month period; or

 

(iv)             a Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but, during the applicable Effectiveness Period, a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the Prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason, including by reason of its withdrawal or termination pursuant to Section 3(e), or, other than by reason of a Suspension Period as provided in Section 2(b), will fail to be usable for its intended purpose without such disability being cured within ten (10) Business Days by an effective post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus, a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such failure or the effectiveness of a Subsequent Form S-3, and either (x) the Company fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c); or (y) the Company fails to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) as a result of which any of the Holders are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) (each such event referred to in foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), then in such event as partial relief for the damages to any Holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable Securities and not as a penalty (which remedy will not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or equity), the Company hereby agrees to pay to each Holder, subject to Section 2(d), aggregate additional interest (“Additional Interest”) equal to 0.50% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.50% per annum during each subsequent 90-day period, provided that in no event shall the Additional Interest exceed 2.000% per annum, on all outstanding Notes (and all outstanding Shares to the extent Shares have been issued with respect to any Notes prior to the occurrence of the Registration Default and such Shares remain Registrable Securities); provided that any payment on Shares will be calculated based on the principal amount of the Notes as a result of conversion of which such Shares have been issued; provided further that any such Additional Interest will cease to accrue to Holders hereunder and under the LSA when any such Registration Default will cease, be remedied or be cured. The Company will pay any Additional Interest as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the LSA.

(d)              Holders’ Agreements. It will be a condition of each Holder’s rights under this Agreement, and each Holder agrees, as follows:

 

(i)               Cooperation & Selling Holder Questionnaire. Such Holder will cooperate with the Company by, with reasonable promptness, supplying information and executing documents relating to such selling Holder or the securities of the Company owned by such selling Holder in connection with such registration which are customary for offerings of this type or is required by applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to furnishing to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Holder Questionnaire”). The Company will not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement and will not be required to pay any Additional Interest or other damages under Section 2(c) to any Holder who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Filing Deadline.

 

(ii)              Undertakings. Such selling Holder will enter into any undertakings and take such other action relating to the conduct of the proposed offering which the Company may reasonably request as being necessary to insure compliance with federal and state securities laws and the rules or other requirements of FINRA.

 

(iii)            Shelf Sales. In connection with and as a condition to the Company’s obligations with respect to any shelf Registration Statement, each Holder covenants and agrees that it will not offer or sell any such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and such Holder has provided a written notice to the Company of such proposed sale. The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that in no way shall this clause limit Holder’s ability to sell securities without using the Registration Statement.

 

(iv)             Discontinuance of Sales. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a Suspension Notice or a Discontinuance Notice from the Company, such Holder will forthwith discontinue any offers and sales of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that in no way shall this clause limit Holder’s ability to sell securities without using the Registration Statement.

 

6

 

 

(e)               Piggyback Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Company, if (i) there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, if the Prospectus contained therein is not available for use, or if Rule 144 is not available with respect to the Registrable Securities and (ii) the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement or offering statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business (or a business combination subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act) or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans), or a dividend reinvestment or similar plan or rights offering, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement or offering statement all or any part of such Shares constituting Registrable Securities that such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to register any Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e) that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a piggyback registration at any time in its sole discretion. The Company shall not grant piggyback registration rights to any holders of its Common Stock or securities that are convertible into its Common Stock that are senior to the rights of the Holders set forth in this Section 2(e).

Each Holder will provide comments, if any, within five (5) Business Days after the date such materials are provided. The Company will not file a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which the “Selling Securityholders” or the “Plan of Distribution” sections thereof differ in any material respect from the disclosure received from a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented) or otherwise differ in any material respect from the drafts previously received by such Holder.

 

(c)               Right to Copies. The Company will furnish to each Holder, without charge, (i) at least one (1) conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (excluding those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, except if such documents are available on EDGAR; and (ii) as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request.

7

 

 

(d)              Notices. The Company will notify each Holder covered by the Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable: (A) when the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the Commission for any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information; (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (D) if, at any time prior to the closing contemplated by the LSA, it becomes aware that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and correct; (E) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (F) of the happening of any event which it believes may make any statement made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference untrue, or of any material misstatement or omission, and which requires the making of any changes in the Registration statement, the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (G) upon the occurrence of a Suspension Period (items (C) through and including (G) being a “Discontinuance Notice”); and (H) upon the conclusion of a Suspension Period.

 

(e)               Withdrawal of Suspension Orders.

(f)                Supplements & Amendments. Subject to Section 2(a), if required, based on the advice of the Company’s counsel, the Company will prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document or, if necessary, renew or refile a Registration Statement prior to its expiration, so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, (A) the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (B) such Registration Statement remains continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its applicable Effectiveness Period; (C) the related Prospectus may be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented may be filed pursuant to Rule 424 and (D) the Prospectus will be supplemented, if necessary, to update the disclosure of the number of shares that each Holder intends to sell, reflecting prior resales in accordance with guidance of the staff of the Commission (as such guidance may be substituted for, amended or supplemented by the staff of the Commission after the date of this Agreement). Furthermore, subject to a Holder’s compliance with its obligations under Section 2(d)(i), the Company will take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a selling Holder in a Registration Statement or any supplement thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in such Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such Holder’s Selling Holder Questionnaire.

Each Holder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, partners, members and shareholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the directors and officers of such controlling person, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based upon, in the case of the Registration Statement or in any amendments thereto, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein to make the statements not misleading, or in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions (1) are made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder consists of the information described in Annex A hereto, as may be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, for this purpose) or (2) resulted from the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be several and not joint and in no event will the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by any such selling Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)               Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In order for a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court filings and related papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Claim.

 

If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume at its cost the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and to settle such suit, action, claim or proceeding in its discretion with an unconditional full release of the Indemnified Party and no admission of fault, liability, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any acknowledgment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to its indemnification obligations. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has materially failed to defend, contest or otherwise protest in a timely manner against Claims or (ii) such Indemnified Party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there are defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such Indemnifying Party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists. Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

11

 

 

The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s liability to any such Indemnified Party hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.

 

(d)              Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, will 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, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will 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 of a material fact, has been taken or 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, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) or 5(b) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder will be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)               Other. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

pLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the Securities covered by this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Securityholders. All costs, expenses and fees connected with the registration of these Securities will be borne by us. Any brokerage commissions and similar expenses connected with selling the Securities will be borne by the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest who may acquire Securities through a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These transactions include:

 

·through one or more underwriters or dealers in a public offering and sale by them, whether individually or through an underwriting syndicate led by one or more managing underwriters;

 

·in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;

 

·directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser;

 

·through agents;

 

·by delayed delivery contracts or by remarketing firms;

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

·exchange or over-the-counter distributions in accordance with the rules of the exchange or other market;

 

·block trades in which the broker-dealer attempts to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange;

 

·a combination of any such method of sale; or

 

·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

In connection with distributions of the Securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may:

 

 1 

 

 

·sell the Securities:

 

·in negotiated transactions;

 

·in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

 

·at market prices prevailing at the times of sale;

 

·at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

·at negotiated prices;

 

·sell the Securities:

 

·on a national securities exchange;

 

·in the over-the-counter market; or

 

·in transactions otherwise than on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or in combination;

 

·sell the Securities short and/or deliver the Securities to close out short positions;

 

·enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of Securities covered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and

 

·pledge Securities to broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.

 

 

 

The Selling Securityholders may also resell all or a portion of the Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, or any other exemption from the registration requirements that become available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale of any Securities, such Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. Securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by underwriters. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. As applicable, we will describe in each accompanying prospectus supplement the name of the underwriter(s) and the nature of any such relationship(s).

 

 2 

 

 

If a dealer is used in an offering of Securities, the dealer may purchase the securities, as principal. The dealer may then resell the Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of sale.

 

Securities may be sold directly or through agents designated from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of such shares and we will describe any commissions paid to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.

 

Underwriters who participate in the distribution of Securities may be granted an option to purchase additional Securities in connection with the distribution.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. Each accompanying prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

In connection with sales of Securities, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of Securities in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell Securities short and the Selling Securityholders may deliver Securities covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed Securities in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholders may also loan or pledge Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Securities offered by this prospectus, which Securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Securities from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders may also may transfer and donate Securities in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

 3 

 

 

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of Securities may engage in transactions with, and perform other services for, us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive compensation.

 

In effecting sales, the Selling Securityholders may engage broker-dealers or agents, who may in turn arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or from the purchasers of Securities for whom the broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. To our knowledge, there is currently no plan, arrangement or understanding between any Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of any Securities by the Selling Securityholders.

 

The Selling Securityholders, any broker-dealers or agents and any participating broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus may be “underwriters” under the Securities Act with respect to those Securities and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of that Act. Any profit that the Selling Securityholders realize, and any compensation that any broker-dealer or agent may receive in connection with any sale, including any profit realized on resale of Securities acquired as principal, may constitute underwriting discounts and commissions. If the Selling Securityholders are deemed to be underwriters, the Selling Securityholders may be subject to certain liabilities under statutes including, but not limited to, Section 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

 

The securities laws of some states may require the Selling Securityholders to sell the Securities in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. These laws may also require that we register or qualify the Securities for sale in those states unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available and the Selling Securityholders and we comply with that exemption. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of Securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities.

 

If any Selling Securityholder notifies us that he has entered into any material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, over-the-counter distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file any necessary supplement to this prospectus to disclose:

 

 4 

 

 

·the number of Securities involved in the arrangement;

 

·the terms of the arrangement, including the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents who purchase Securities, as required;

 

·the proposed selling price to the public;

 

·any discount, commission or other underwriting compensation;

 

·the place and time of delivery for the Securities being sold;

 

·any discount, commission or concession allowed, reallowed or paid to any dealers; and

 

·any other material terms of the distribution of Securities.

 

In addition, if the Selling Securityholder notifies us that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest of the Selling Securityholder intends to sell more than [ ] Securities, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.

The Registration Statement will be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration will be on Form S-1, and if for any reason the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-1, then another appropriate form for such purpose) and will contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) a “Plan of Distribution” section, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, as the same may be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Such selling Holder will enter into any undertakings and take such other action relating to the conduct of the proposed offering which the Company may reasonably request as being necessary to insure compliance with federal and state securities laws and the rules or other requirements of FINRA.

In connection with and as a condition to the Company’s obligations with respect to any shelf Registration Statement, each Holder covenants and agrees that it will not offer or sell any such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and such Holder has provided a written notice to the Company of such proposed sale. The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that in no way shall this clause limit Holder’s ability to sell securities without using the Registration Statement.

 

(iv)            Discontinuance of Sales. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a Suspension Notice or a Discontinuance Notice from the Company, such Holder will forthwith discontinue any offers and sales of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that in no way shall this clause limit Holder’s ability to sell securities without using the Registration Statement.

 

(e)               Piggyback Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Company, if (i) there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, if the Prospectus contained therein is not available for use, or if Rule 144 is not available with respect to the Registrable Securities and (ii) the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement or offering statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business (or a business combination subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act) or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans), or a dividend reinvestment or similar plan or rights offering, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement or offering statement all or any part of such Shares constituting Registrable Securities that such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to register any Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e) that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a piggyback registration at any time in its sole discretion.

If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume at its cost the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and to settle such suit, action, claim or proceeding in its discretion with an unconditional full release of the Indemnified Party and no admission of fault, liability, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any acknowledgment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to its indemnification obligations. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has materially failed to defend, contest or otherwise protest in a timely manner against Claims or (ii) such Indemnified Party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there are defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such Indemnifying Party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists. Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s liability to any such Indemnified Party hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.

 

12

 

 

(d)              Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, will 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, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will 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 of a material fact, has been taken or 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, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) or 5(b) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder will be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)               Other. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

pLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the Securities covered by this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Securityholders. All costs, expenses and fees connected with the registration of these Securities will be borne by us. Any brokerage commissions and similar expenses connected with selling the Securities will be borne by the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest who may acquire Securities through a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These transactions include:

 

·through one or more underwriters or dealers in a public offering and sale by them, whether individually or through an underwriting syndicate led by one or more managing underwriters;

 

·in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;

 

·directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser;

 

·through agents;

 

·by delayed delivery contracts or by remarketing firms;

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

·exchange or over-the-counter distributions in accordance with the rules of the exchange or other market;

 

·block trades in which the broker-dealer attempts to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange;

 

·a combination of any such method of sale; or

 

·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

In connection with distributions of the Securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may:

 

1

 

 

·sell the Securities:

 

·in negotiated transactions;

 

·in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

 

·at market prices prevailing at the times of sale;

 

·at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

·at negotiated prices;

 

·sell the Securities:

 

·on a national securities exchange;

 

·in the over-the-counter market; or

 

·in transactions otherwise than on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or in combination;

 

·sell the Securities short and/or deliver the Securities to close out short positions;

 

·enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of Securities covered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and

 

·pledge Securities to broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.

 

The Selling Securityholders may also resell all or a portion of the Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, or any other exemption from the registration requirements that become available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale of any Securities, such Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. Securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by underwriters. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. As applicable, we will describe in each accompanying prospectus supplement the name of the underwriter(s) and the nature of any such relationship(s).

 

2

 

 

If a dealer is used in an offering of Securities, the dealer may purchase the securities, as principal. The dealer may then resell the Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of sale.

 

Securities may be sold directly or through agents designated from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of such shares and we will describe any commissions paid to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between us and the underwriters, dealers and agents.

 

Underwriters who participate in the distribution of Securities may be granted an option to purchase additional Securities in connection with the distribution.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the sale of securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act. As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. Each accompanying prospectus supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any compensation received by them from us. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

In connection with sales of Securities, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of Securities in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell Securities short and the Selling Securityholders may deliver Securities covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed Securities in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholders may also loan or pledge Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Securities offered by this prospectus, which Securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Securities from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders may also may transfer and donate Securities in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may become involved in the sale of Securities may engage in transactions with, and perform other services for, us in the ordinary course of their business for which they receive compensation.

 

In effecting sales, the Selling Securityholders may engage broker-dealers or agents, who may in turn arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or from the purchasers of Securities for whom the broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. To our knowledge, there is currently no plan, arrangement or understanding between any Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of any Securities by the Selling Securityholders.

 

The Selling Securityholders, any broker-dealers or agents and any participating broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus may be “underwriters” under the Securities Act with respect to those Securities and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of that Act. Any profit that the Selling Securityholders realize, and any compensation that any broker-dealer or agent may receive in connection with any sale, including any profit realized on resale of Securities acquired as principal, may constitute underwriting discounts and commissions. If the Selling Securityholders are deemed to be underwriters, the Selling Securityholders may be subject to certain liabilities under statutes including, but not limited to, Section 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

 

The securities laws of some states may require the Selling Securityholders to sell the Securities in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. These laws may also require that we register or qualify the Securities for sale in those states unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available and the Selling Securityholders and we comply with that exemption. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of Securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities.

 

If any Selling Securityholder notifies us that he has entered into any material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, over-the-counter distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file any necessary supplement to this prospectus to disclose:

 

4

 

 

·the number of Securities involved in the arrangement;

 

·the terms of the arrangement, including the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents who purchase Securities, as required;

 

·the proposed selling price to the public;

 

·any discount, commission or other underwriting compensation;

 

·the place and time of delivery for the Securities being sold;

 

·any discount, commission or concession allowed, reallowed or paid to any dealers; and

 

·any other material terms of the distribution of Securities.

 

In addition, if the Selling Securityholder notifies us that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest of the Selling Securityholder intends to sell more than [ ] Securities, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.

The Prepayment Premium shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. EACH BORROWER AND GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.

 

(ii)     If on any date either Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds, to prepay the Term Loans, together with the Prepayment Premium; provided that,

 

(1)           in the case of an Asset Sale that is not a Product Intellectual Property Sale, Borrower may deliver a Reinvestment Notice with respect to the percentage of such Net Proceeds in the Borrower Retention column below, and shall apply an amount equal to the percentage of such Net Proceeds in the Term Loan Repayment column below, to prepay the Term Loans, together with the Prepayment Premium:

 

Proceeds (millions)  Term Loan Repayment (%)   Borrower Retention (%) 
First $10.0   25.0%   75.0%
Next $10.0   35.0%   65.0%
Next $10.0   45.0%   55.0%
Any remaining proceeds thereafter   50.0%   50.0%

 

 

(2)           to the extent any Second Lien Notes remain outstanding, the Borrowers shall apply such Net Proceeds to repay such Second Lien Notes subject to any applicable premium in lieu of prepayments under Section 2.2(c)(ii)(1) above; provided, however, that if the Purchasers (as defined in the Second Lien Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement) of the Second Lien Notes decline such Net Proceeds, the Borrowers shall apply such Net Proceeds, to prepay the Term Loans, together with the Prepayment Premium,

 

29 

 

 

(3)           for purposes of the chart in Section 2.2(c)(ii)(1) above, so long as the Second Lien Notes have been repaid in full and the Term Loan Commitments and Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt is equal to or less than $5.0 million, the Term Loan Repayment (%) shall be deemed to be 0% and the Borrower Retention (%) shall be 100%, and

 

(4)           notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount, with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event to prepay the Term Loans, together with the Prepayment Premium (subject to Section 2.2(c)(ii)(2) above).

 

All Net Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be deposited in a Collateral Account pending repayment or reinvestment in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(c).

 

Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall be payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share; provided that any Lender may decline any such prepayment (collectively, the “Declined Amount”), in which case the Declined Amount shall be retained by Borrowers. Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. Borrowers shall deliver to each Lender notice of each prepayment of Term Loans in whole or in part pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(ii) not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment shall be made (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”). Such notice shall set forth (i) the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (ii) the aggregate amount of such prepayment, and (iii) the option of each Lender to (x) decline its share of such prepayment or (y) accept Declined Amounts. Any Lender that wishes to exercise its option to decline such prepayment or to accept Declined Amounts shall notify Borrowers not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date.

 

Holdings shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, use any Net Proceeds received from any Asset Sale to repay any Junior Indebtedness (other than the Second Lien Notes).

 

(d)          Permitted Prepayment of Term Loans. Borrowers shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrowers (i) provide written notice to each Lender of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least three (3) Business Days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pay to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, which for the avoidance of doubt must be paid in cash, (B) the Prepayment Premium relating to the prepaid outstanding principal, which may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii), plus (C) all other Obligations that are due and payable on such prepayment date, including any Lenders’ Expenses, Collateral Agent Expenses and interest at the Default Rate (if any) with respect to any past due amounts, which for the avoidance of doubt must be paid in cash. Any notice pursuant hereto may be contingent upon the occurrence of financing or other transaction.

 

(e)           Conversions. The Term Loans may be converted into shares of Common Stock as set forth in and in accordance with the Secured Notes. Upon any such conversion, the delivery by Holdings of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in accordance with Section 2 of the Secured Notes, including the payment of the Prepayment Premium in connection therewith, shall be deemed to satisfy in full Borrowers’ obligation to pay the principal amount of the Term Loans so converted, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, as of the Conversion Date (as defined in the Secured Notes).

 

2.3         Payment of Interest on the Term Loans.

 

(a)           Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Interest with respect thereto) shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 12.00% (or 13.00% to the extend provided in clause (e) below), which interest shall be payable monthly in arrears in accordance with Sections 2.2(b) and 2.3(e). Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), such interest shall accrue commencing on, and including, the first Funding Date, and shall accrue on the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan through and including the day on which the Term Loan is paid in full (or any payment is made hereunder).

 

30 

 

 

(b)          Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto plus five percentage points (5.00%) (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Lenders.

 

(c)           360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(d)           [Reserved].

 

(e)           Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall be made to the respective Lender to which such payments are owed, at such Person’s office in immediately available funds on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers may elect to pay the interest on the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans payable pursuant to this Section 2.3 as paid-in-kind interest, added to the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan on the date such interest would otherwise be due hereunder (the amount of any such paid-in-kind interest being “PIK Interest”); provided that for any period during which the Borrowers have elected to pay PIK Interest, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 13.00%. Borrowers shall notify each Lender in writing of any such election at least two (2) Business Days before the start of the applicable period during which Borrowers have elected to pay PIK Interest.

 

2.4          Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Collateral Agent and/or Lenders (as applicable) the following fees, which shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable upon payment:

 

(a)           Prepayment Premium.

 

(i)            The Prepayment Premium, when due hereunder, to be shared between the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

 

31 

 

 

(ii)          Subject to Section 2.7, Borrowers may elect to pay the Prepayment Premium in cash or, if the Forced Conversion Conditions are met, in cash or shares of Common Stock as contemplated by this Section 2.4(a)(ii). In connection with a conversion of any principal amount of the Term Loans, the value of a share of Common Stock issued to pay the Prepayment Premium in connection therewith shall be determined as set forth in and in accordance with the Secured Note. In connection with a mandatory or permitted prepayment in cash of any principal amount of Term Loans, including pursuant to Sections 2.2(c)(ii) or 2.2(d) hereof (a “Cash Prepayment”), if the Borrowers elect to pay the Prepayment Premium in connection therewith in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii), then (a) subject to the Forced Conversion Conditions, the Borrowers shall pay 50% of the Prepayment Premium on the date of the repayment in cash of the Term Loans (pursuant to Sections 2.2(c)(ii) or 2.2(d) or otherwise) with the value of a share of Common Stock to be issued with respect to such portion of the Prepayment Premium equal to 90% of the simple average of the Daily VWAP for the five (5) Trading Day ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the earlier of the announcement of such Cash Prepayment and the date on which such portion of the Prepayment Premium is paid hereunder and (b) for so long as the Forced Conversion Conditions are met (i) the Borrowers shall pay the remaining 50% of the Prepayment Premium in five (5) equal installments (each a “Prepayment Premium PIK Installment”), with each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment representing ten percent (10%) of the total dollar amount of the Prepayment Premium due and payable hereunder, (ii) a Prepayment Premium PIK Installment shall be paid on each of the five (5) consecutive Trading Days beginning on the second Trading Day immediately following the date such Prepayment Premium becomes due and payable hereunder (each a “Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date”), (iii) the value of a share of Common Stock to be issued with respect to each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment shall be equal to 90% of the Daily VWAP for the one (1) Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date as set forth in a certificate of a Responsible Officer and delivered to each Lender, a separate certificate of which shall be delivered for each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment on the applicable Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date and (iv) the Borrowers shall publicly announce, by way of a press release and/or a filing of a Form 8-K with the SEC, any election to pay the Prepayment Premium in shares of Common Stock in connection with a mandatory or permitted prepayment in cash of Term Loans (pursuant to Sections 2.2(c)(ii) or 2.2(d) hereof or otherwise), which such announcement shall disclose the dollar amount of the Prepayment Premium to be paid, the dollar value of each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment, the formula by which the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to each such Prepayment Premium PIK Installment shall be calculated and the Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Dates. In the event the Borrowers elect to pay the Prepayment Premium in Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii), the Borrowers (i) shall segregate and deposit cash into a segregated account of the Borrowers subject to a perfected security interest in favor of Collateral Agent pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders an amount equal to the aggregate cash portion of the Prepayment Premium payable on the Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Dates (the “Premium Account”) (and prior to the payment in full in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Prepayment Premium, such cash shall not be used for purposes other than paying the cash portion of the Prepayment Premium on each such Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date, if necessary; provided that security interest in the Premium Account and any cash therein shall be released upon the payment in full in cash or shares of Common Stock of the Prepayment Premium) and (ii) shall provide the Lenders at least two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as acceptable to the Lenders) prior written notice of any election to pay the Prepayment Premium in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii) including identifying the applicable Premium Account. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any portion of the Prepayment Premium cannot be paid in shares of Common Stock by operation of Section 2.4 (including without limitation as the result of failure to satisfy the Forced Conversion Conditions at any time) or Section 2.7, such portion shall be paid in cash. Upon repayment in full pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans outstanding and delivery of 50% of the Prepayment Premium in shares of Common Stock to Lenders pursuant to clause (a) above, as set forth in a certificate of a Responsible Officer and delivered to Collateral Agent and Lenders, Sections 6.2(c), 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.9, 6.12, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.9, 7.10, 7.13 and 7.15 hereof shall have no further force or effect.

 

(iii)          Borrowers expressly agree (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and Borrowers giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and (D) Borrowers shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Borrowers expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Term Loan Commitments and make the Term Loans.

 

(b)           Commitment Fee. A commitment fee equal to 1.5 million shares of Common Stock, which shall be issued to Lenders in accordance with instructions provided by the Lenders.

 

(c)           Lenders’ Expenses. All Lenders’ Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

 

(d)          Collateral Agent Fees. All fees payable to Collateral Agent as set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (such fees being referred to herein collectively as the “Collateral Agent Fees”). The Collateral Agent Fees are in addition to reimbursement of the Collateral Agent Expenses in accordance with Section 12.2 and Exhibit B. The Collateral Agent Fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

32 

 

 

2.5          Taxes; Increased Costs. Borrowers, Collateral Agent and the Lenders each hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.

 

2.6         Secured Notes. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by one or more secured promissory note or Notes in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto and the terms of this Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into the Secured Notes as if set forth therein, provided that in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, the terms of this Agreement shall control (each a “Secured Note”), and shall be repayable as set forth in this Agreement or convertible into Common Stock as set forth in the Secured Note, as applicable. Borrowers irrevocably authorize each Lender to make or cause to be made, on or about the first Funding Date or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Secured Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Register (the “Secured Note Register”) reflecting the making of the Initial Term Loan, the making of any Subsequent Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Term Loan set forth on such Lender’s Secured Note Register shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Secured Note Register shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers under any Secured Note or any other Loan Document to make payments of principal of or interest on any Secured Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Secured Note, Borrowers shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Secured Note in the same principal amount thereof and of like tenor.

 

2.7          Equity Issuance Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document or Second Lien Document:

 

(a)           Unless and until Stockholder Approval has been obtained, (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Transactions shall not exceed 59,071,150 (the “Exchange Cap”); provided, that the Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any Stock Event (as defined in the Secured Notes) occurring after the Effective Date and following any adjustment of the Exchange Cap hereunder, the “Exchange Cap” shall mean the Exchange Cap as so adjusted, and (ii) no shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to a Forced Conversion as defined in the Secured Note or the Second Lien Notes to the extent that, assuming all shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon conversion pursuant to the Transactions have been issued, such Forced Conversion issuance would exceed the Exchange Cap.

 

(b)           Holdings shall not issue to any Lender, and no Lender may acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any conversion of the Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Second Lien Document to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Lender and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Lender’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which such Lender is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of any securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.90% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by any Lender shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of a Lender, the Borrowers shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to such Lender the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdictions of organization or formation and Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its businesses or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

6.5                Insurance. Keep Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ industry and location and as the Required Lenders may reasonably request.

Subject to Section 3.5, Collateral Agent shall be named as lender loss payee and/or additional insured with respect to any such insurance providing coverage in respect of any Collateral, and each provider of any such insurance shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to the Lenders, that it will give the Collateral Agent thirty (30) (ten (10) days for nonpayment of premium) days prior written notice before any such policy or policies shall be canceled.

Proceeds payable under any policy shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, be payable to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, on account of the then-outstanding Obligations. If Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.5 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Collateral Agent may make (but has no obligation to do so), at Holdings’ expense, all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Collateral Agent deems prudent.

(a)                 The use of the Term Loan and extensions of credit by Borrowers under this Agreement shall be limited in accordance with the Approved Budget (subject to variances applied on an aggregate basis and permitted under Section 6.12(b) and subject to the receipt of any Cure Amounts pursuant to Section 8.13). The Required Lenders and Borrowers shall, beginning no later than October 31, 2020, in good faith negotiate to agree on or prior to December 31, 2020 on an extension of the Approved Budget to cover the period from the January 1, 2021 through the Maturity Date. The Approved Budget may be updated, modified or supplemented by the Borrowers from time to time with the consent of the Required Lenders and no such updated, modified or supplemented budget shall be effective until so approved and once so approved shall be deemed an Approved Budget.

 

(b)                Commencing with the first full calendar month following the Effective Date and for each calendar month thereafter subject to an Approved Budget being in effect, Borrowers shall not permit (i) the Actual Disbursement Amount, measured on a cumulative basis, for any calendar month, to exceed one hundred eighty percent (180%) of the Budgeted Disbursement Amount, measured on a cumulative basis, for any such calendar month and (ii) the Actual Disbursement Amount, measured on a cumulative basis, for any two consecutive calendar months, to exceed one hundred fifty (150%) of the Budgeted Disbursement Amount, measured on a cumulative basis, for any such period of two (2) consecutive calendar months.

7.             NEGATIVE COVENANTS

 

So long as any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) remain outstanding, Holdings shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, do any of the following without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders:

 

7.1                Dispositions.

 

(a)                 Effect any Transfer, except for (i) Transfers that do not constitute Asset Sales or (ii) Transfers, the proceeds of which are reinvested or applied as set forth in Section 2.2(c); provided that in the case of any Transfers pursuant to this clause (ii), (A) Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Transfer at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the asset subject to such Asset Sale, and (B) at least 75% of the consideration paid to Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Transfer is, or will be when paid (in the case of milestones, royalties and other deferred payment obligations), in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For the purposes of clause (ii) above, the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Transfer and with respect to which Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness shall be deemed cash.

 

45 

 

 

(b)                Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, effect any Product Intellectual Property Sale or Exclusive Product License to any Unrestricted Subsidiary or other Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor.

 

7.2                Changes in Business or Business Locations. (a) Engage in or permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to engage in any business other than the Permitted Business or (b) liquidate or dissolve. Holdings shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent: (A) add any new offices or business locations, including warehouses (unless such new offices or business locations contain less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in assets or property of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable or are contract manufacturing sites); (B) change its respective jurisdiction of organization, (C) except as permitted by Section 7.3, change its respective organizational structure or type, (D) change its respective legal name, or (E) change any organizational number(s) (if any) assigned by its respective jurisdiction of organization.

 

7.3                Mergers or Acquisitions. Merge or consolidate, or permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with any other Person, or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock, shares or property of another Person (other than pursuant to Permitted Investments, a Transfer permitted under Section 7.1 or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.7); provided that a Subsidiary may merge or consolidate into another Subsidiary (provided that in the case of a merger or consolidation of a Guarantor, the surviving Person has provided a secured Guaranty of Borrowers’ Obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 6.10) or with (or into) either Borrower provided such Borrower is the surviving legal entity, and as long as no Event of Default is occurring prior thereto or arises as a result therefrom.

 

7.4                Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

 

(a)                 Create, incur, issue, assume, enter into a guarantee of or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and Holdings shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, issue any shares of preferred stock or preferred interests.

 

(b)                Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, Section 7.4(a) above will not prohibit the incurrence of any Permitted Debt.

 

(c)                 For the purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.4, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (23) of the definition of “Permitted Debt,” or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.4(a), Borrowers shall be permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification), in any manner that complies with this Section 7.4; provided that (x) all Indebtedness outstanding under the Second Lien Notes on the Effective Date will be treated as incurred under clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and (y) all Indebtedness represented by Existing Notes and outstanding on the Effective Date will be treated as incurred under clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and, in each case, may not be reclassified.

 

(d)                The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 7.4. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of any Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred or first committed, in the case of revolving Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

 

46 

 

 

(e)                 The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be (i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; (ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and (iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of (a) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination and (b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

 

7.5                Encumbrance. Holdings shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

 

7.6                Maintenance of Collateral Accounts. With respect to either Borrower or any Guarantor, maintain any Collateral Account except pursuant to the terms of Section 6.6 hereof.

 

7.7                Restricted Payments.

    (ii)                     the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Junior Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Borrowers or any Guarantor (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Notes) in exchange for, by conversion into or out of, or with the net cash proceeds from, an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, which incurrence occurs substantially concurrently with such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value;

 

     (iii)                     so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Capital Stock of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings held by any current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary or any permitted transferee of the foregoing pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement, phantom stock plan or similar agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Capital Stock may not exceed $100,000 in any twelve-month period; provided, further, that such amount in any twelve-month period may be increased by an amount not to exceed:

 

(1)            the cash proceeds from the sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdings to officers, directors, employees or consultants of Holdings, of any of its Subsidiaries or of any of its direct or indirect parent companies that occurs after the Effective Date to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Capital Stock have not otherwise been applied to the making of Restricted Payments pursuant to this Section 7.7; plus

 

(2)           the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Effective Date; and, in addition, cancellation of Indebtedness owing to Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary from any current or former officer, director or employee (or any permitted transferees thereof) of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a repurchase of Capital Stock of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary from such Persons will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this Section 7.7 or any other provisions of this Agreement;

 

47 

 

 

    (iv)                 the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Capital Stock (x) deemed to occur upon the exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants, convertible notes or similar rights to acquire Capital Stock to the extent that such Capital Stock represent all or a portion of the exercise, exchange or conversion price of those stock options, phantom stock, warrants, convertible notes or similar rights, or (y) made in lieu of payment of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of Capital Stock or any exercise or exchange of stock options, phantom stock, warrants, convertible notes or similar rights to acquire such Capital Stock

 

   (v)                    any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Second Lien Notes or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to the Second Lien Notes, or any Transfer solely to the extent required by the Second Lien Documents or other instrument pursuant to which such Indebtedness was issued, but only if Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary has first complied with its obligation under Sections 2.2(c) and 7.1, as applicable;

 

    (vi)                  the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdings;

 

   (vii)                  the conversion into Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdings (and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares) of the Second Lien Notes, the Existing Notes or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Documents, the 2018 Indenture, the 2019 Indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Indebtedness was issued, as applicable;

 

   (viii)                 cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares;

 

   (ix)                   [reserved];

 

   (x)                    so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate since the Effective Date, plus if any such Restricted Payment under this clause (x) was used to make an Investment, the cash return of capital with respect to such Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any);

 

  (xi)                    payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders or equityholders pursuant to applicable law and any earn-outs, purchase price adjustments and other deferred consideration payable to the holders of the acquired entity in connection with any merger or consolidation of any Person not otherwise prohibited hereunder;

 

    (xii)                  the purchase of any Permitted Bond Hedge Transaction and the settlement or termination of any Permitted Equity Derivatives; and

 

   (xiii)                 so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, repurchases of Existing Notes for cash, or repayments of any Existing Notes, using 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by Borrowers from the substantially concurrent issue or sale (other than to a Subsidiary of Borrower) of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock of Holdings or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of Holdings which, in either case, constitute Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to the Existing Notes.

 

(c)              The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash), including for purposes of clauses (i) through (xiv) above, will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Holdings or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 7.7 will be determined by Borrowers or, if such Fair Market Value is in excess of $5.0 million, by Board of Directors, whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Lenders.

 

48 

 

 

(d)              For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.7, in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 7.7(b) or is entitled to be incurred as one or more categories of Permitted Investments or is permitted pursuant to Section 7.7(a), Borrowers will be entitled to classify such Restricted Payment or portion thereof in any manner that complies with this to Section 7.7, and such Restricted Payment will be treated as having been made pursuant to only such clause or clauses, categories of Permitted Investments or to Section 7.7(a).

 

(e)              For purposes of this to Section 7.7, the Existing Notes will be deemed not to be Capital Stock.

(ix)                     any repurchases, redemptions or other retirements for value by Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of any class held by any Affiliate of Holdings, so long as such repurchase, redemption or other retirement for value is on the same terms as are made available to investors holding such class of Indebtedness generally, and Affiliates have an economic interest in no more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate principal amount of such class of Indebtedness;

7.10             Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. Create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) make loans or advances to Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or (iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(xiv)                  any amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement or arrangement referred to in clauses (i) through (xiii) of this Section 7.10(a); provided, however, that such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing is not materially more restrictive, as reasonably determined by Holdings, with respect to such encumbrances and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

 

(b)                For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.10, the subordination of loans or advances made to Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by Holdings or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

7.13             Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

 

As of the Effective Date, all of the Subsidiaries of Holdings will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors will be able, at any time after the Effective Date, to designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Borrower) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, that immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Restricted Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments permitted under Section 7.7. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

 

51 

 

 

Any designation of a Subsidiary of Holdings as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Lenders by filing with the Lenders a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof giving effect to such designation and a certified by a Responsible Officer that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 7.7. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary and any Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 7.4, Borrowers shall be in default of Section 7.4. The Board of Directors may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and the creation, incurrence, assumption or otherwise causing to exist any Lien of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 7.4, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the relevant four-quarter period; (2) such Lien is permitted; and (3) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation and (ii) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, after such designation, it would be a “Restricted Subsidiary” under the Second Lien Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement, the Existing Notes, any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to the foregoing or any other Junior Indebtedness.

 

7.14             Limitation on Issuance of Capital Stock. No Guarantor may issue any Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including by way of sales of treasury stock or the issuance of any debt security that is convertible into, or exchangeable for, Capital Stock of such Guarantor) to any Person other than (i) to any Borrower or any other Guarantor, (ii) in connection with the transfer of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor otherwise permitted under this Agreement, or (iii) the issuance of director’s qualifying shares or other nominal shares required by law to be held by a Person other than a Borrower or a Guarantor.

 

7.15             Minimum Liquidity. Permit, at any time, based on the amount calculated at the end of the prior month, Qualified Cash to be less than (x) $3.0 million if there is an Approved Budget in effect or (y) $5.0 million if there is no Approved Budget in effect.

 

8.             EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

Any one of the following shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement:

 

8.1                Payment Default. Borrowers fail to (a) make any payment of principal or interest on the Term Loan on its due date or (b) pay any other Obligation within three (3) Business Days after such Obligations are due and payable (which three (3) Business Day grace period shall not apply to payments due on the Maturity Date or the date of acceleration pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof);

 

8.2                Covenant Default.

If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation, Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Approved Budget Covenant, Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Approved Budget Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach of the Approved Budget Covenant that had occurred, the related Default and Event of Default, shall be deemed cured without any further action of Borrower, Collateral Agent or any Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents.

9.             RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

9.1                Rights and Remedies.

 

(a)                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following: (i) deliver notice of the Event of Default to Borrower, (ii) by notice to Borrowers declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable without any action by the Lenders) or (iii) by notice to Borrowers suspend or terminate the obligations, if any, of the Lenders to advance money or extend credit for Borrowers’ benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrowers and the Lenders (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all obligations, if any, of the Lenders to advance money or extend credit for Borrowers’ benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrowers and the Lenders shall be immediately terminated without any action by the Lenders).

 

(b)                Without limiting the rights of the Lenders set forth in Section 9.1(a) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

 

(i)                      direct Collateral Agent to foreclose upon and/or sell or otherwise liquidate, the Collateral;

 

(ii)                     direct Collateral Agent to make a demand for payment upon any Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty delivered by such Guarantor;

 

(iii)                    direct Collateral Agent to apply to the Obligations any (A) balances and deposits of Borrowers that Collateral Agent or any Lender holds or controls, (B) any amount held or controlled by Collateral Agent or any Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, or (C) amounts received from any Guarantors in accordance with the respective Guaranty delivered by such Guarantor; and/or

 

(iv)                    commence and prosecute an Insolvency Proceeding or consent to either Borrower commencing any Insolvency Proceeding.

 

(c)                 Without limiting the rights of Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and (b) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right to, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

 

(i)                      settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Collateral Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing either Borrower money of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

 

(ii)                      make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its Liens in the Collateral (held for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties). Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral if Collateral Agent requests and make it available at such location as Collateral Agent reasonably designates. Collateral Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrowers grant Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies;

 

(iii)                     ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, and/or advertise for sale, any of the Collateral. Collateral Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Holdings’ and each of its Subsidiaries’ labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Holdings’ and each of its Subsidiaries’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders;

 

55 

 

 

(iv)                     place a “hold” on any Collateral Account maintained with Collateral Agent or any Lender or otherwise in respect of which a Control Agreement has been delivered in favor of Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

 

(v)                      demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books;

 

(vi)                    appoint a receiver to seize, manage and realize any of the Collateral, and such receiver shall have any right and authority as any competent court will grant or authorize in accordance with any applicable law, including any power or authority to manage the business of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; and

 

(vii)                   subject to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 9.1, exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent and each Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.1 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 9.1 without the written direction of Required Lenders following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance.

 

9.2                Power of Attorney. Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts of either Borrower directly with the applicable Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrowers’ insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code or any applicable law permits (including by filing assignment agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or equivalent in any jurisdiction outside of the United States); and (g) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute, deliver and have recorded any document that the Collateral Agent may request to evidence, effect, publicize or record the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of Borrowers relating thereto or represented thereby. Each Borrower hereby appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and the Lenders are under no further obligation to make Term Loans hereunder. Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and the Lenders’ obligation to provide Term Loans terminates.

 

9.3                Protective Payments. If Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries fail to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrowers with notice of Collateral Agent obtaining such insurance or making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by Collateral Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

56 

 

 

9.4                Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent or the Lenders from or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrowers on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Lenders on the other, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Collateral Agent or the Lenders may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent or the Lenders, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Collateral Agent Expenses, Collateral Agent Fees and Lenders’ Expenses; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other Obligations owing to Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrowers or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to the Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares unless expressly provided otherwise. Each Lender, shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lenders also received their scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Lender received more than its Pro Rata Share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments. If any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its Pro Rata Share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share shall be received and held by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lenders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) for application to the payments of amounts due on such other Lenders’ claims. To the extent any payment for the account of Borrowers is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Lenders shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis. If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for the Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting Collateral Agent’s security interest therein (held for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties).

 

9.5                Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and the Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

9.6                No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Failure by Collateral Agent or any Lender, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or by Borrowers or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The rights and remedies of Collateral Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Collateral Agent and the Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, any applicable law, by law, or in equity. The exercise by Collateral Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy is not an election, and any waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

 

9.7                Demand Waiver. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Collateral Agent or any Lender on which Holdings or any Subsidiary is liable.

 

57 

 

 

9.8           Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) to exercise the rights and remedies under this Section 9 after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral), each Borrower hereby (a) grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Borrower (or applicable grantor)) (“Collateral Agent License”), including in such license the right to use, license, sublicense or practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Borrower (or any applicable grantor), and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided that with respect to any licenses held by such Borrower, such Collateral Agent License shall only be granted to the extent such assignment or grant is permitted under the terms of such license and if such assignment or grant is not permitted under the term of such license Borrowers will or will cause the applicable guarantor to cooperate with Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to receive the benefits of such Collateral Agent License to the maximum extent possible and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Collateral Agent may sell any of such Borrower’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased such Borrower’s Inventory from such Borrower and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Borrower and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Borrower and the Collateral Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Borrower (or any applicable grantor) and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

 

9.9           Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any applicable Requirement of Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time upon the direction of the Required Lenders, without notice to Borrowers or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of either Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of either Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Obligations. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may purchase participations in accordance with the preceding sentence and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Term Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ liens, counterclaims or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Term Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

 

10.          NOTICES

Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall affect the right of Collateral Agent or Lenders to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against either Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

 

12.          GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

12.1         Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Borrower may transfer, pledge or assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (which may be granted or withheld in the Required Lenders’ discretion, subject to Section 12.5). The Lenders have the right, subject to any restrictions in the Secured Note to the extent outstanding, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or negotiate (any such sale, transfer, assignment, negotiation, or grant of a participation, a “Lender Transfer”), or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, the Lenders’ obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrowers and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned until the Required Lenders shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement, in form satisfactory to the Required Lenders, executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such assignee as the Required Lenders reasonably shall require. Holdings shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Collateral Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Collateral Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Register or a Participant Register.

 

60

 

 

12.2         Indemnification. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each Secured Party and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing such Secured Party (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with; related to; following; or arising from, out of or under, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents whether in contract, tort or otherwise; and (b) all losses, Collateral Agent Expenses and Lenders’ Expenses incurred, or paid by Indemnified Person in connection with; related to; following; or arising from, out of or under, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except, in each case, for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Person) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of such Borrower or its shareholders, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Collateral Agent or Lenders) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the loan proceeds except for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 12.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

12.3         Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

 

12.4         Correction of Loan Documents. The Required Lenders may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

 

12.5         Amendments in Writing; Integration. (a) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, or any consent to any departure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrowers, Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders provided that:

 

(i)            no such amendment, waiver or other modification that would have the effect of increasing or reducing a Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or Commitment Percentage shall be effective as to such Lender without such Lender’s written consent;

 

(ii)           no such amendment, waiver or modification that would affect the rights and duties of Collateral Agent shall be effective without Collateral Agent’s written consent or signature; and

 

61

 

 

(iii)           no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed by all the Lenders directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to the Term Loan or forgive any principal, interest (other than default interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to the Term Loan (B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment of principal of any Term Loan or of interest on the Term Loan (other than default interest) or any fees provided for hereunder (other than late charges or for any termination of any commitment); (C) change the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders to take any action hereunder; (D) release all or substantially all of any material portion of the Collateral, authorize Borrowers to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all or any material portion of the Collateral or release any Guarantor of all or any portion of the Obligations or its Guaranty obligations with respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clause (D), as otherwise may be expressly permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder); (E) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 12.5 or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.5 insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.5; (F) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by either Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under any Loan Document or release either Borrower of its payment obligations under any Loan Document, except, in each case with respect to this clause (F), pursuant to a merger or consolidation permitted pursuant to this Agreement; (G) amend any of the provisions of Section 9.4 or amend any of the definitions of Pro Rata Share, Term Loan Commitment, Commitment Percentage or that provide for the Lenders to receive their Pro Rata Shares of any fees, payments, setoffs or proceeds of Collateral hereunder; (H) subordinate the Liens granted in favor of Collateral Agent securing the Obligations; or (I) amend any of the provisions of Section 12.5. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F), (G) and (H) of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(b)               Other than as expressly provided for in Section 12.5(a)(i)-(iii), the Required Lenders may from time to time designate covenants in this Agreement less restrictive by notification to Borrowers.

 

(c)               This Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements with respect to such subject matter. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

12.6        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, portable document format (.pdf) or other electronic transmission will be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

12.7        Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force and effect until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied. The obligation of each Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify each Lender and Collateral Agent, as well as the withholding provision in Section 2.5 hereof and the confidentiality provisions in Section 12.8 below, shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

 

62

 

 

12.8        Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information of Borrower, each of the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for their own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to the Lenders’ and Collateral Agent’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or in connection with a Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions and upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction; (b) to prospective transferees (other than those identified in (a) above) or purchasers of any interest in the Term Loans (provided, however, the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall, except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision or to similar confidentiality terms); (c) as required by law, rule, regulation, regulatory or self-regulatory authority, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Lenders’ or Collateral Agent’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with an examination or audit; (e) as Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably consider appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third party service providers of the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement or have agreed to similar confidentiality terms with the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in the Lenders’ and/or Collateral Agent’s possession when disclosed to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent through no breach of this provision by the Lenders or the Collateral Agent; or (ii) is disclosed to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent by a third party, if the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. Collateral Agent and the Lenders may use confidential information for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis so long as the Collateral Agent and the Lenders do not disclose the identity of the Borrowers or the identity of any person associated with the Borrowers. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The agreements provided under this Section 12.8 supersede all prior agreements, understanding, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Section 12.8. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.8, Borrowers and Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that as of the Effective Date, after giving effect to the public announcement of the Transactions, none of the Borrowers nor any of its affiliates has provided such Lenders with any material, nonpublic information.

 

12.9        Right of Set Off. Each Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent and to each Lender, a Lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Secured Parties hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of any Secured Party or any entity under the control of such Secured Party (including a Collateral Agent Affiliate) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, any Secured Party may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrowers even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF EACH BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SUCH BORROWER.

 

12.10      Cooperation of Borrower. If necessary, each Borrower agrees to (i) execute any documents reasonably required to effectuate and acknowledge each assignment of the Term Loan Commitment (or portion thereof) or Term Loan (or portion thereof) to an assignee in accordance with Section 12.1, (ii) make such Borrower’s management personnel available to meet with the Lenders and prospective participants and assignees of Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loans or portions thereof (which meetings shall be conducted no more often than twice every twelve months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and (iii) assist the Lenders in the preparation of information relating to the financial affairs of such Borrower as any prospective participant or assignee of the Term Loan Commitment (or portions thereof) or Term Loan (or portions thereof) reasonably may request. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.8, each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any prospective participant or assignee of the Term Loan Commitment (or portions thereof), any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower and its financial affairs which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement.

 

63

 

 

12.11      Public Announcement. Each Borrower hereby agrees that Collateral Agent and each Lender, after consultation with Borrower, may make a public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and may publicize the same in marketing materials, newspapers and other publications, and otherwise, and in connection therewith may use such Borrower’s name, tradenames and logos. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consultation with Borrowers shall not be required for any disclosures by Collateral Agent and the Lenders may also make disclosures to the SEC or other governmental agency and any other public disclosure with investors, other governmental agencies or other related persons.

 

12.12      Collateral Agent and Lender Agreement. Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

12.13      Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of Obligations under this Agreement.

 

12.14      Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations have been satisfied. So long as Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement and for which no claim has been made) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date by Borrower, effective five (5) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders.

 

12.15      Multiple Borrowers.

 

(a)                Borrower’s Agent. Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints Holdings as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative for all purposes, including requesting disbursement of the Term Loans and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from the Collateral Agent or the Lenders. The Collateral Agent or the Lenders may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for the Term Loans, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by Holdings whether in its own name or on behalf of one or more of the other Borrowers, and the Collateral Agent or the Lenders shall not have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on it of any such request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder be affected thereby.

 

(b)               Waivers. Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) any right to require the Collateral Agent or the Lenders to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, any other Borrower or any other person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with any Lender or any Indebtedness of any Lender to any other Borrower, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy a Lender may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, with respect to all or any part of the Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of Collateral Agent, any Lender or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any other person or any Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of Collateral Agent to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Borrower or any other person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding. Until all of the Obligations have been paid, performed, and discharged in full, nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of all of the Obligations. If any claim is ever made upon Collateral Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Collateral Agent or any Lender in payment of or on account of any of the Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and Collateral Agent or any Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Collateral Agent or any Lender with any such claimant (including without limitation the any other Borrower), then and in any such event, each Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon such Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, or any release of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower shall be and remain liable to Collateral Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Collateral Agent or any Lender, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Borrower, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Borrower, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Borrower may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Borrower or other person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Borrower may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine.

 

64

 

 

(c)               Consents. Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by either Borrower and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of Borrowers hereunder, Collateral Agent and the Lenders may, from time to time before or after revocation of this Agreement, do any one or more of the following in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all of the Obligations; (ii) grant any other indulgence to any Borrower or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Obligations or any other matter; (iii) accept, release, waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair, or extend the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or all of the Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Obligations, or on which Lender at any time may have a Lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; (iv) substitute or add, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or more other Borrowers or any endorsers or guarantors of all or any part of the Obligations, including, without limitation one or more parties to this Agreement, regardless of any destruction or impairment of any right of contribution or other right of Borrower; (v) apply any sums received from any other Borrower, any guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the disposition of any Collateral or security, to any Indebtedness whatsoever owing from such person or secured by such Collateral or security, in such manner and order as Lender determines in its sole discretion, and regardless of whether such Indebtedness is part of the Obligations, is secured, or is due and payable. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Each Borrower further consents and agrees that Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any property securing any or all of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Obligations.

 

(d)               Independent Liability. Each Borrower hereby agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against such Borrower, in the same action in which any other Borrower may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed advisable by the Required Lenders. Each Borrower is fully aware of the financial condition of each other Borrower and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and such Borrower is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Collateral Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. Each Borrower represents and warrants that it is in a position to obtain, and each Borrower hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning any other Borrower’s financial condition and any other matter pertinent hereto as such Borrower may desire, and such Borrower is not relying upon or expecting Collateral Agent or any Lender to furnish to it any information now or hereafter in Collateral Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning the same or any other matter.

 

(e)               Subordination. All Indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Obligations and the Borrower holding the Indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Required Lenders to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.

 

65

 

 

12.16      Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. Each Lender, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Borrowers as of the date such Person becomes a Lender and as of the Effective Date, that:

 

(a)              Such Lender is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, and has the power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

 

(b)              This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Lender and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Lender, enforceable against the Lender in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

(c)              This Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of or default under (i) such Lender’s organizational documents, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which such Lender is a party or by which such Lender or any of its assets are bound, or (iii) any laws, regulations or governmental or judicial decrees, injunctions or orders applicable to such Lender.

 

(d)              Each of the Secured Notes to be received by such Lender hereunder will be acquired for such Lender’s own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act, and such Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to such Lender’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Secured Notes in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

(e)              Such Lender can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its extension of the Term Loans and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

 

(f)               Such Lender has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand all information related to any Borrower requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from Borrowers regarding such Borrower, its Subsidiaries, its business and the terms and conditions of receiving the Term Loans and the issuance of the Notes, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence.

 

(g)              Based on the information such Lender has deemed appropriate, it has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into the Loan Documents.

 

(h)              Such Lender understands that the Secured Notes are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Borrowers in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Lender understands that no United States federal or state agency, or similar agency of any other country, has reviewed, approved, passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of Borrowers or the issuance of the Secured Notes.

 

(i)               Such Lender is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(j)              Such Lender did not learn of the investment in the Secured Notes as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

(k)              The Lenders agree that the Secured Notes and shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Secured Notes may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such Secured Notes and shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Secured Notes are sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (ii) such Secured Notes and shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Secured Notes are sold or transferred in accordance with to Rule 144, (iii) the Borrowers have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such sale or transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act, or (iv) the Secured Notes and shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Secured Notes are transferred without consideration to an affiliate of such holder or a custodial nominee.

 

66

 

 

(l)               The Lenders agree that the certificates or book-entry records evidencing the commitment fee shares will bear the following or a similar legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (II) SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, (III) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (IV) THE SECURITIES ARE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION TO AN AFFILIATE OF SUCH HOLDER OR A CUSTODIAL NOMINEE (WHICH FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT SHALL REQUIRE NEITHER CONSENT NOR THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION).”

 

(m)             Such Lender is not, and has not been during the consecutive three month period preceding the date hereof, a director, officer or “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of any Borrower. The Lender and its Affiliates collectively beneficially own and will beneficially own as of the Effective Date (but without giving effect to the Conversion) less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

EXHIBIT B

 

Collateral Agent and Lender Terms

 

1.             Appointment of Collateral Agent.

 

(a)                 Each Lender hereby appoints WSFS (together with any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7 of this Exhibit B) as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes Collateral Agent to (i) take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights, powers and remedies and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents and (ii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except for Section 8 of this Exhibit B, the provisions of this Exhibit B are solely for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

(b)                Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to (i) hold security interests in the Collateral for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and otherwise act as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by the Loan Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (ii) take, at the direction of the Required Lenders, such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents, and (iii) except as may be otherwise specified in any Loan Document, exercise, at the direction of the Required Lenders, all remedies given to Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to any Borrower and/or the Collateral, whether under the Loan Documents, applicable Requirements of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Collateral Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any Deposit Account maintained by any Borrower or any Guarantor with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Collateral Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. Collateral Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Exhibit B shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

(c)                 Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates, authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and to take action on its behalf pursuant to the provisions thereof as directed by the Required Lenders. Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(d)                Under the Loan Documents, Collateral Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders, with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Collateral Agent”, the terms “agent”, “Collateral Agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to Collateral Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, are not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under any agency doctrine of any applicable law and are intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties, (ii) is not assuming any obligation under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or any other Person and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Loan Document, and each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Collateral Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) through (iii) above. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by WSFS or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

1 

 

 

2.Binding Effect; Reliance on Instructions from Required Lenders.

 

(a)                 Each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required in any Loan Document, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken by Collateral Agent in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders.

 

(b)                If Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with any Loan Document, then Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document (i) if such action would, in the opinion of Collateral Agent, be contrary to any Requirement of Law or any Loan Document, (ii) if such action would, in the opinion of Collateral Agent, expose Collateral Agent to any potential liability under any Requirement of Law or (iii) if Collateral Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Collateral Agent as a result of Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting under any Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

 

3.              Collateral Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Collateral Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (a) consult with any of its Related Persons and, whether or not selected by it, any other legal counsel, advisors, accountants and other experts (including legal counsel and advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged by, Borrower), and take or omit to take any action in accordance with the advice of any such legal counsel, advisors, accountants and other experts, and (b) rely and act upon any document and information (including those transmitted by electronic transmission) and any telephone message or conversation or other oral statement, in each case believed by it to be genuine and to have been transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties. None of Collateral Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document, and each Lender and each Borrower hereby waives and shall not assert (and Holdings shall cause its Subsidiaries to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties of Collateral Agent expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Collateral Agent: (i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment that Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Related Person; (ii) shall not be responsible to any Lender or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document; (iii) makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Lender or other Person for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of Holdings or any Related Person of Holdings in connection with any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to Borrower, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Loan Document to be transmitted to the Lenders) omitted to be transmitted by Collateral Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Collateral Agent in connection with the Loan Documents; and (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of either Borrower or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Event of Default, and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from either Borrower or any Lender describing such Event of Default that is clearly labeled “notice of default”; and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender and each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and Holdings shall cause its Subsidiaries to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Collateral Agent based thereon.

 

2 

 

 

4.              Collateral Agent Individually. Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire stock and stock equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, each Borrower or any Affiliate of Holdings as though it were not acting as Collateral Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, Collateral Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender, or as one of the Required Lenders.

 

5.              Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Collateral Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrowers and has made and will continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of each Borrower or any Affiliate of Holdings that may come in to the possession of Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons.

 

6.              Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to reimburse Collateral Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers as required under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Agreement)) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and any Taxes or insurance paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Borrower) incurred by Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to, its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document (such costs and expenses, collectively, “Collateral Agent Expenses”). Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers as required under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Agreement)), ratably according to its Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, to the extent not indemnified by the applicable Lender, Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons under this Section 6 of this Exhibit B to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, Collateral Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Collateral Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or if Collateral Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold Taxes from a prior payment to or for the account of any Lender but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Collateral Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Collateral Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding Tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 6 of this Exhibit B.

7.             Successor Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective, in accordance with the terms of this Section 7 of this Exhibit B. The Required Lenders may deliver notice of removal to the Collateral Agent, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective, in accordance with the terms of this Section 7 of this Exhibit B. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If, after 30 days after the date of the retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders and has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent from among the Lenders. Effective immediately upon its resignation, (a) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (b) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Collateral Agent until a successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (c) the retiring Collateral Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Collateral Agent was, or because such Collateral Agent had been, validly acting as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and (d) subject to its rights under Section 2(b) of this Exhibit B, the retiring Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Collateral Agent its rights as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Collateral Agent, a successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Collateral Agent). After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Exhibit B and Section 11 and Sections 12.2 and 12.9 of the Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent.

 

8.             Release of Collateral. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Collateral Agent, at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers, to release (or in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

 

(a)                 any Guarantor if all of the stock of such Subsidiary owned directly or indirectly by Holdings is sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to any Loan Document, provided, that Borrowers shall have provided to Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such transaction is permitted under the Loan Documents (and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on such certificate in performing its obligations under this clause (a)); and

 

(b)                any Lien held by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of by Borrowers in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), provided, that Borrowers shall have provided to Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such transaction is permitted under the Loan Documents (and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on such certificate in performing its obligations under this clause (b)).

 

In addition, each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Collateral Agent, at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers, to enter into non-disturbance or similar agreements with licensees of the Borrowers’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property in connection with any collaboration, development, commercialization or other licensing transaction permitted by the Loan Documents; provided, that Borrowers shall have provided to Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such transaction is permitted under the Loan Documents (and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on such certificate in performing its obligations under this paragraph).

(iv)               be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and, if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

 

(b)                Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent of, or at the request of, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances, as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to Collateral Agent in writing by the Borrowers or a Lender. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request written instructions, or clarification of any instruction or request, from the Required Lenders (or, if the relevant Loan Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Lender or group of Lenders, from that Lender or group of Lenders) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion, and Collateral Agent may without any liability hereunder or under any other Loan Document refrain from acting unless and until it receives those written instructions or that clarification. In the absence of such written instructions, Collateral Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interests of the Lenders. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by Collateral Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

(d)                Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Collateral Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Collateral Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Collateral Agent under this Section 5.

 

6.            Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit C, Borrowers shall deliver to the applicable Recipient the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Recipient.

 

7.            Status of Lenders.

 

(a)          Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrowers and Collateral Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Collateral Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Collateral Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Collateral Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Collateral Agent as will enable Borrowers or Collateral Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii) and 7(b)(iv) of this Exhibit C) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

2 

 

 

(b)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,

 

(i)             any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and Collateral Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or Collateral Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(ii)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and Collateral Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or Collateral Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

A.              in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

B.              executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

C.              in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Borrower and Collateral Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender (or other applicable Person) is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to such Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

 

D.              to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(iii)           any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and Collateral Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or Collateral Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or Collateral Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

3 

 

 

(iv)            if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and Collateral Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or Collateral Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or Collateral Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and Collateral Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(c)           Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and Collateral Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

8.             Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit C (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit C), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under the provisions of this Exhibit C with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 8 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

9.              Increased Costs. If any change in applicable law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining the Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make the Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request of such Recipient, Borrowers will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

10.           Survival. Each party’s obligations under the provisions of this Exhibit C shall survive the resignation or replacement of Collateral Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Account Debtor” is any “account debtor” as defined in the Code with such additions to such term as may hereafter be made under the Code.

 

Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person:

 

(1)           Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming, a Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and

 

(2)           Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person.

(2)           Issuer delivers to the Purchasers, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $500,000, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 7.9 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and

Issuer shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Notes, provided Issuer (i) provides written notice to the Purchasers of its election to prepay the Notes at least three (3) Business Days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Purchasers on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Purchaser in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the outstanding principal of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, which for the avoidance of doubt must be paid in cash, (B) the Prepayment Premium relating to the prepaid outstanding principal, which may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(a)(ii), plus (C) all other Obligations that are due and payable on such prepayment date, including any Purchasers’ Expenses, Collateral Agent Expenses and interest at the Default Rate (if any) with respect to any past due amounts, which for the avoidance of doubt must be paid in cash. Any notice pursuant hereto may be contingent upon the occurrence of financing or other transaction.

 

(e)                Conversions. The Notes may be converted into shares of Common Stock as set forth in and in accordance with the Notes. Upon any such conversion, the delivery by Issuer of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in accordance with Section 2 of the Notes, including the payment of the Prepayment Premium in connection therewith, shall be deemed to satisfy in full Issuer’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes so converted, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, as of the Conversion Date (as defined in the Notes).

 

2.3           Payment of Interest on the Notes.

 

(a)               Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Interest with respect thereto) shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 7.50% (or 8.25% to the extent provided in clause (e) below), which interest shall be payable monthly in arrears in accordance with Sections 2.2(b) and 2.3(e). Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), such interest shall accrue commencing on, and including, the Closing Date, and shall accrue on the principal amount outstanding under the Notes through and including the day on which the Notes are paid in full (or any payment is made hereunder).

 

(b)              Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto plus two percentage points (2.00%) (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Purchasers.

 

(c)               360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(d)               [Reserved].

 

(e)               Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Issuer under the Note Documents shall be made to the respective Purchaser to which such payments are owed, at such Person’s office in immediately available funds on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Issuer hereunder or under any other Note Document, including payments of principal and interest, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuer may elect to pay the interest on the principal amount outstanding under the Notes payable pursuant to this Section 2.3 as paid-in-kind interest, added to the aggregate principal amount of the Note on the date such interest would otherwise be due hereunder (the amount of any such paid-in-kind interest being “PIK Interest”); provided that for any period during which Issuer has elected to pay PIK Interest, the principal amount outstanding under the Notes shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 8.25%. Issuer shall notify each Purchaser in writing of any such election at least two (2) Business Days before the start of the applicable period during which Issuer has elected to pay PIK Interest.

 

2.4          Fees. Issuer shall pay to Collateral Agent and/or the Purchasers (as applicable) the following fees, which shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable upon payment:

 

30

 

 

(a)               Prepayment Premium.

 

(i)                 The Prepayment Premium, when due hereunder, to be shared between the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

 

(ii)                Subject to Section 2.7, Issuer may elect to pay the Prepayment Premium in cash or, if the Forced Conversion Conditions are met, in cash or shares of Common Stock as contemplated by this Section 2.4(a)(ii). In connection with a conversion of any principal amount of the Notes, the value of a share of Common Stock issued to pay the Prepayment Premium in connection therewith shall be determined as set forth in and in accordance with the Note. In connection with a mandatory or permitted prepayment in cash of any principal amount of Notes, including pursuant to Sections 2.2(c)(ii) or 2.2(d) hereof (a “Cash Prepayment”), if Issuer elects to pay the Prepayment Premium in connection therewith in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii), then (a) subject to the Forced Conversion Conditions, Issuer shall pay 50% of the Prepayment Premium on the date of the repayment in cash of the Notes (pursuant to Sections 2.2(c)(ii) or 2.2(d) or otherwise) with the value of a share of Common Stock to be issued with respect to such portion of the Prepayment Premium equal to 90% of the simple average of the Daily VWAP for the five (5) Trading Day ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the earlier of the announcement of such Cash Prepayment and the date on which such portion of the Prepayment Premium is paid hereunder and (b) for so long as the Forced Conversion Conditions are met (i) the Issuer shall pay the remaining 50% of the Prepayment Premium in five (5) equal installments (each a “Prepayment Premium PIK Installment”), with each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment representing ten percent (10%) of the total dollar amount of the Prepayment Premium due and payable hereunder, (ii) a Prepayment Premium PIK Installment shall be paid on each of the five (5) consecutive Trading Days beginning on the second Trading Day immediately following the date such Prepayment Premium becomes due and payable hereunder (each a “Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date”), (iii) the value of a share of Common Stock to be issued with respect to each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment shall be equal to 90% of the Daily VWAP for the one (1) Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date as set forth in a certificate of a Responsible Officer and delivered to the Purchasers, a separate certificate of which shall be delivered for each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment on the applicable Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date and (iv) Issuer shall publicly announce, by way of a press release and/or a filing of a Form 8-K with the SEC, any election to pay the Prepayment Premium in shares of Common Stock in connection with a mandatory or permitted prepayment in cash of Notes (pursuant to Sections 2.2(c)(ii) or 2.2(d) hereof or otherwise), which such announcement shall disclose the dollar amount of the Prepayment Premium to be paid, the dollar value of each Prepayment Premium PIK Installment, the formula by which the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to each such Prepayment Premium PIK Installment shall be calculated and the Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Dates. In the event Issuer elects to pay the Prepayment Premium in Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii), Issuer (i) shall segregate and deposit cash into a segregated account of the Issuer subject to a perfected security interest in favor of Collateral Agent pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Required Purchasers in an amount equal to the aggregate cash portion of the Prepayment Premium payable on the Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Dates (the “Premium Account”) (and prior to the payment in full in cash or in shares of Common Stock of the Prepayment Premium such cash shall not be used for purposes other than paying the cash portion of the Prepayment Premium on each such Prepayment Premium PIK Installment Date, if necessary; provided that security interest in the Premium Account and any cash therein shall be released upon the payment in full in cash or shares of Common Stock of the Prepayment Premium) and (ii) shall provide the Purchasers at least two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as acceptable to the Purchasers) prior written notice of any election to pay the Prepayment Premium in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)(ii) including identifying the applicable Premium Account. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any portion of the Prepayment Premium cannot be paid in shares of Common Stock by operation of Section 2.4 (including without limitation as the result of failure to satisfy the Forced Conversion Conditions at any time) or Section 2.7, such portion shall be paid in cash. Upon repayment in full pursuant to Section 2.2(d) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding and delivery of 50% of the Prepayment Premium in shares of Common Stock to Purchasers pursuant to clause (a) above, as set forth in a certificate of a Responsible Officer and delivered to Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, Sections 6.2(c), 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.9, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.9, 7.10, 7.13 and 7.15 hereof shall have no further force or effect.

 

31

 

 

(iii)               Issuer expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Purchasers and Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and (D) Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Issuer expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to Purchasers as herein described is a material inducement to Purchasers to agree to the Exchange.

 

(b)               Purchasers’ Expenses. All Purchasers’ Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

 

(c)               Collateral Agent Fees. All fees payable to Collateral Agent as set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (such fees being referred to herein collectively as the “Collateral Agent Fees”). The Collateral Agent Fees are in addition to reimbursement of the Collateral Agent Expenses in accordance with Section 12.2 and Exhibit B. The Collateral Agent Fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.5           Taxes; Increased Costs. Issuer, Collateral Agent and the Purchasers each hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.

 

2.6           Notes. The Notes shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto, and the terms of this Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into the Notes as if set forth therein; provided that in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Notes shall be repayable as set forth in this Agreement or convertible into Common Stock as set forth in the Note, as applicable. Issuer irrevocably authorizes each Purchaser to make or cause to be made, on or about the Closing Date or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Purchaser’s Note, an appropriate notation on such Purchaser’s Note (the “Purchaser’s Note Record”) reflecting the purchase of such Notes or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Notes set forth on such Purchaser’s Note Record shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Purchaser, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Purchaser’s Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Issuer under any Note or any other Note Document to make payments of principal of or interest on, or the Prepayment Premium in respect of, any Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Purchaser as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Note, Issuer shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in the same principal amount thereof and of like tenor.

 

2.7           Equity Issuance Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Note Document or First Lien Document:

 

(a)               Unless and until Stockholder Approval has been obtained, (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Transactions shall not exceed 59,071,150 (the “Exchange Cap”); provided that the Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any Stock Event (as defined in the Notes) occurring after the Effective Date and following any adjustment of the Exchange Cap hereunder, the “Exchange Cap” shall mean the Exchange Cap as so adjusted, and (ii) no shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to a Forced Conversion as defined in the Notes or the First Lien Notes to the extent that, assuming all shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon conversion pursuant to the Transactions have been issued, such Forced Conversion issuance would exceed the Exchange Cap.

 

(b)               Issuer shall not issue to any Purchaser, and no Purchaser may acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any conversion of the Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, any other Note Document or any First Lien Document to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Purchaser and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Purchaser’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which such Purchaser is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of any securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.90% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by any Purchaser shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of a Purchaser, Issuer shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to such Purchaser the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

36 

 

 

(h)           No settlement or consents, covenants not to sue, nonassertion assurances, or releases have been entered into by Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or exist to which Issuer or such Subsidiary is bound that adversely affect its rights to own or use any Intellectual Property except as could not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, in each case individually or in the aggregate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

 

(e)          The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be (i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; (ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and (iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of (a) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination and (b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

 

7.5          Encumbrance. Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

 

7.6          Maintenance of Collateral Accounts. With respect to Issuer or any Guarantor, maintain any Collateral Account except pursuant to the terms of Section 6.6 hereof.

(1)           the cash proceeds from the sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Issuer to officers, directors, employees or consultants of Issuer, of any of its Subsidiaries or of any of its direct or indirect parent companies that occurs after the Effective Date to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Capital Stock have not otherwise been applied to the making of Restricted Payments pursuant to this Section 7.7; plus

 

(2)            the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Effective Date; and, in addition, cancellation of Indebtedness owing to Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from any current or former officer, director or employee (or any permitted transferees thereof) of Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a repurchase of Capital Stock of Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from such Persons will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this Section 7.7 or any other provisions of this Agreement;

(xi)                   payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders or equityholders pursuant to applicable law and any earn-outs, purchase price adjustments and other deferred consideration payable to the holders of the acquired entity in connection with any merger or consolidation of any Person not otherwise prohibited hereunder;

(c)           The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash), including for purposes of clauses (i) through (xiv) above, will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

(d)         For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.7, in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (i) through (xiv) of Section 7.7(b) or is entitled to be incurred as one or more categories of Permitted Investments or is permitted pursuant to Section 7.7(a), Issuer will be entitled to classify such Restricted Payment or portion thereof in any manner that complies with this to Section 7.7, and such Restricted Payment will be treated as having been made pursuant to only such clause or clauses, categories of Permitted Investments or to Section 7.7(a).

 

(e)           For purposes of this to Section 7.7, the Existing Notes will be deemed not to be Capital Stock.

Create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) make loans or advances to Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries; or (iii) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries.

7.13             Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

 

As of the Effective Date, all of the Subsidiaries of Issuer will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors will be able, at any time after the Effective Date, to designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Issuer) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, that immediately before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Restricted Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments permitted under Section 7.7. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

 

Any designation of a Subsidiary of Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Purchasers by filing with the Purchasers a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof giving effect to such designation and a certified by a Responsible Officer that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 7.7. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary and any Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 7.4, Issuer shall be in default of Section 7.4. The Board of Directors may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and the creation, incurrence, assumption or otherwise causing to exist any Lien of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 7.4, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the relevant four-quarter period; (2) such Lien is permitted; and (3) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation and (ii) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, after such designation, it would be a “Restricted Subsidiary” under the First Lien Loan Agreement, the Existing Notes, any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to the foregoing or any other Junior Indebtedness.

 

7.14             Limitation on Issuance of Capital Stock. No Guarantor may issue any Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including by way of sales of treasury stock or the issuance of any debt security that is convertible into, or exchangeable for, Capital Stock of such Guarantor) to any Person other than (i) to Issuer or any other Guarantor, (ii) in connection with the transfer of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor otherwise permitted under this Agreement, or (iii) the issuance of director’s qualifying shares or other nominal shares required by law to be held by a Person other than Issuer or a Guarantor.

8.7                Judgments. One or more judgments, orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such insurance carrier) shall be rendered against Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated, or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days after the entry thereof;

 

8.8                Misrepresentations.

Collateral Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Issuer’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Issuer’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers;

 

(iv)               place a “hold” on any Collateral Account maintained with Collateral Agent or any Purchaser or otherwise in respect of which a Control Agreement has been delivered in favor of Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

 

 53 

 

 

(v)                demand and receive possession of Issuer’s Books;

 

(vi)               appoint a receiver to seize, manage and realize any of the Collateral, and such receiver shall have any right and authority as any competent court will grant or authorize in accordance with any applicable law, including any power or authority to manage the business of Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; and

 

(vii)             subject to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 9.1, exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent and each Purchaser under the Note Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.1 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 9.1 without the written direction of Required Purchasers following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance.

 

9.2                Power of Attorney. Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts of Issuer directly with the applicable Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Issuer’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code or any applicable law permits (including by filing assignment agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or equivalent in any jurisdiction outside of the United States); and (g) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute, deliver and have recorded any document that the Collateral Agent may request to evidence, effect, publicize or record the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of Issuer relating thereto or represented thereby. Issuer hereby appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and Purchasers are under no further obligation to purchase Notes hereunder. Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and the Purchasers’ obligation to purchase the Notes terminates.

 

9.3                Protective Payments. If Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries fail to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Note Document, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent are Purchasers’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Issuer with notice of Collateral Agent obtaining such insurance or making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by Collateral Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

 54 

 

 

9.4                Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Issuer irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent or the Purchasers from or on behalf of Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Issuer on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Purchasers on the other, Collateral Agent and the Purchasers shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Collateral Agent or the Purchasers may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent or the Purchasers, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Collateral Agent Expenses, Collateral Agent Fees and Purchasers’ Expenses; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other Obligations owing to Collateral Agent or any Purchaser under the Note Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Issuer or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Purchasers of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to the Purchasers’ Pro Rata Shares unless expressly provided otherwise. Each Purchaser, shall promptly remit to the other Purchasers such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Notes and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Purchaser receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Purchasers also received their scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Purchaser received more than its Pro Rata Share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Purchaser shall remit to other the Purchasers such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments. If any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Purchaser in excess of its Pro Rata Share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share shall be received and held by such Purchaser in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Purchasers (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) for application to the payments of amounts due on such other Purchasers’ claims. To the extent any payment for the account of Issuer is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Purchasers shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis. If any Purchaser shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for the Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting Collateral Agent’s security interest therein (held for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties).

 

9.5                Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and the Purchasers comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, Collateral Agent and the Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Issuer bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

9.6                No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Failure by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Issuer of any provision of this Agreement or by Issuer or any other Note Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent or any Purchaser thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Collateral Agent and the Required Purchasers and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The rights and remedies of Collateral Agent and the Purchasers under this Agreement and the other Note Documents are cumulative. Collateral Agent and the Purchasers have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, any applicable law, by law, or in equity. The exercise by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser of one right or remedy is not an election, and any Purchaser’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Collateral Agent’s or any Purchaser’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

 

9.7                Demand Waiver. Issuer waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Collateral Agent or any Purchaser on which Issuer or any Subsidiary is liable.

 

 55 

 

 

9.8                Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Purchasers) to exercise the rights and remedies under this Section 9 after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral), Issuer hereby (a) grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to Issuer (or applicable grantor)) (“Collateral Agent License”), including in such license the right to use, license, sublicense or practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by Issuer (or any applicable grantor), and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided that with respect to any licenses held by Issuer, such Collateral Agent License shall only be granted to the extent such assignment or grant is permitted under the terms of such license and if such assignment or grant is not permitted under the term of such license Issuer will or will cause the applicable guarantor to cooperate with Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to receive the benefits of such Collateral Agent License to the maximum extent possible and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Collateral Agent may sell any of such Issuer’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased Issuer’s Inventory from Issuer and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to Issuer and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to Issuer and the Collateral Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to Issuer (or any applicable grantor) and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

 

9.9                Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any applicable Requirement of Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time upon the direction of the Required Purchasers, without notice to Issuer or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of Issuer (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Issuer) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Purchaser or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of Issuer against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due. Any Purchaser exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Purchasers or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Purchaser’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Purchaser to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Purchaser or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Obligations. Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Purchaser may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may purchase participations in accordance with the preceding sentence and (b) any Purchaser so purchasing a participation in the Notes made or other Obligations held by other Purchasers or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ liens, counterclaims or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser or holder were a direct holder of the Notes and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Purchaser that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Purchaser shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING. THE WAIVER ALSO SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION.

 

 57 

 

 

11.2             Governing Law and Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN IN REGARD TO THE VALIDITY, PERFECTION OR EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF ANY LIEN OR IN REGARD TO PROCEDURAL MATTERS AFFECTING ENFORCEMENT OF ANY LIENS IN COLLATERAL, SUCH LAWS OF SUCH OTHER JURISDICTIONS SHALL CONTINUE TO APPLY TO THAT EXTENT.

 

11.3             Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to the Note Documents shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Issuer hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its Property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral Agent and Purchasers shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against Issuer (or any property of Issuer) in the court of any other jurisdiction Collateral Agent or Purchasers deem necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or other security for the Obligations. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.

 

11.4             Service of Process. Issuer irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Note Document by any means permitted by applicable requirements of law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of Issuer specified herein (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be effective, as provided therein).

11.5             Non-exclusive Jurisdiction.

12.                GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

12.1             Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Issuer may not transfer, pledge or assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers (which may be granted or withheld in Required Purchasers’ discretion, subject to Section 12.5). The Purchasers have the right, subject to any restrictions in the Note to the extent outstanding, without the consent of or notice to Issuer, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or negotiate (any such sale, transfer, assignment, negotiation, or grant of a participation, a “Purchaser Transfer”), or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, the Purchasers’ obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Note Documents. Issuer and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with the interests so assigned until the Required Purchasers shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in form satisfactory to the Required Purchasers executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such assignee as the Required Purchasers reasonably shall require. Issuer shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Notes owing to each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Issuer, Collateral Agent and Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Issuer, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Notes or other obligations under the Note Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Note Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Collateral Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Register or a Participant Register.

 

 58 

 

 

12.2             Indemnification. Issuer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each Secured Party and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing such Secured Party (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with; related to; following; or arising from, out of or under, the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents whether in contract, tort or otherwise; and (b) all losses, Collateral Agent Expenses and Purchasers’ Expenses incurred, or paid by Indemnified Person in connection with; related to; following; or arising from, out of or under, the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except, in each case, for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuer hereby further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Person) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of Issuer or its shareholders, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Collateral Agent or Purchasers) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the loan proceeds except for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 12.2 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

12.3             Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

 

12.4             Correction of Note Documents. The Required Purchasers may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in this Agreement and the other Note Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

 

12.5             Amendments in Writing; Integration. (a) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, no approval or consent thereunder, or any consent to any departure by Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Issuer, Collateral Agent and the Required Purchasers provided that:

 

(i)                  [reserved];

 

(ii)                no such amendment, waiver or modification that would affect the rights and duties of Collateral Agent shall be effective without Collateral Agent’s written consent or signature; and

 

 59 

 

 

(iii)              no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed by all the Purchasers directly affected thereby, (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to the Note or forgive any principal, interest (other than default interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to the Note (B) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment of principal of any Note or of interest on the Note (other than default interest) or any fees provided for hereunder (other than late charges or for any termination of any commitment); (C) change the definition of the term “Required Purchasers” or the percentage of Purchasers which shall be required for the Purchasers to take any action hereunder; (D) release all or substantially all of any material portion of the Collateral, authorize Issuer to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all or any material portion of the Collateral or release any Guarantor of all or any portion of the Obligations or its Guaranty obligations with respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clause (D), as otherwise may be expressly permitted under this Agreement or the other Note Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder); (E) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 12.5 or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.5 insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.5; (F) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by Issuer of any of its rights and obligations under any Note Document or release Issuer of its payment obligations under any Note Document, except, in each case with respect to this clause (F), pursuant to a merger or consolidation permitted pursuant to this Agreement; (G) amend any of the provisions of Section 9.4 or amend any of the definitions of Pro Rata Share or that provide for the Purchasers to receive their Pro Rata Shares of any fees, payments, setoffs or proceeds of Collateral hereunder; (H) subordinate the Liens granted in favor of Collateral Agent securing the Obligations; or (I) amend any of the provisions of Section 12.5. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Purchasers shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F), (G) and (H) of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(b)                Other than as expressly provided for in Section 12.5(a)(i)-(iii), the Required Purchasers may from time to time designate covenants in this Agreement less restrictive by notification to a representative of Issuer.

 

(c)                 This Agreement and the Note Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements with respect to such subject matter. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Note Documents merge into this Agreement and the Note Documents.

 

12.6             Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, portable document format (.pdf) or other electronic transmission will be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

12.7             Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force and effect until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied. The obligation of Issuer in Section 12.2 to indemnify each Purchaser and Collateral Agent, as well as the withholding provision in Section 2.5 hereof and the confidentiality provisions in Section 12.8 below, shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

 

12.8             Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information of Issuer, each of the Purchasers and Collateral Agent shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for their own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to the Purchasers’ and Collateral Agent’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or in connection with a Purchaser’s own financing or securitization transactions and upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction; (b) to prospective transferees (other than those identified in (a) above) or purchasers of any interest in the Notes (provided, however, the Purchasers and Collateral Agent shall, except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision or to similar confidentiality terms); (c) as required by law, rule, regulation, regulatory or self-regulatory authority, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Purchasers’ or Collateral Agent’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with an examination or audit; (e) as Collateral Agent or the Required Purchasers may reasonably considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Note Documents; and (f) to third party service providers of the Purchasers and/or Collateral Agent so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement or have agreed to similar confidentiality terms with the Purchasers and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in the Purchasers’ and/or Collateral Agent’s possession when disclosed to the Purchasers and/or Collateral Agent, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to the Purchasers and/or Collateral Agent through no breach of this provision by the Purchasers or the Collateral Agent; or (ii) is disclosed to the Purchasers and/or Collateral Agent by a third party, if the Purchasers and/or Collateral Agent does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. Collateral Agent and the Purchasers may use confidential information for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis so long as the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers do not disclose the identity of Issuer or the identity of any person associated with Issuer. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The agreements provided under this Section 12.8 supersede all prior agreements, understanding, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Section 12.8. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.8, Issuer and the initial Purchasers hereby acknowledge and agree that as of the Effective Date, after giving effect to the public announcement of the Transactions, none of Issuer nor any of its affiliates has provided such Purchasers with any material, nonpublic information.

 

 60 

 

 

12.9             Right of Set Off. Issuer hereby grants to Collateral Agent and to each Purchaser, a Lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Secured Parties hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of any Secured Party or any entity under the control of such Secured Party (including a Collateral Agent Affiliate) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, any Secured Party may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Issuer even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ISSUER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY ISSUER.

 

12.10         Cooperation of Issuer. If necessary, Issuer agrees to (i) execute any documents reasonably required to effectuate and acknowledge each assignment of the Notes (or portion thereof) to an assignee in accordance with Section 12.1, (ii) make Issuer’s management personnel available to meet with the Purchasers and prospective participants and assignees of the Notes or portions thereof (which meetings shall be conducted no more often than twice every twelve months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and (iii) assist the Purchasers in the preparation of information relating to the financial affairs of Issuer as any prospective participant or assignee of the Notes (or portions thereof) reasonably may request. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.8, Issuer authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any prospective participant or assignee of the Notes (or portions thereof), any and all information in such Purchaser’s possession concerning Issuer and its financial affairs which has been delivered to such Purchaser by or on behalf of Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, or which has been delivered to such Purchaser by or on behalf of Issuer in connection with such Purchaser’s credit evaluation of Issuer prior to entering into this Agreement.

 

12.11         Public Announcement. Issuer hereby agrees that Collateral Agent and each Purchaser, after consultation with Issuer, may make a public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and may publicize the same in marketing materials, newspapers and other publications, and otherwise, and in connection therewith may use Issuer’s name, tradenames and logos. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consultation with Issuer shall not be required for any disclosures by Collateral Agent and the Purchasers may also make disclosures to the SEC or other governmental agency and any other public disclosure with investors, other governmental agencies or other related persons.

 

12.12         Collateral Agent and Purchaser Agreement. Collateral Agent and the Purchasers hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. Issuer acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

12.13         Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of Obligations under this Agreement.

 

 61 

 

 

12.14         Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations have been satisfied. So long as Issuer has satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement and for which no claim has been made) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date by Issuer, effective five (5) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers.

 

12.15         Guaranty.

 

(a)                 The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, and their successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Notes, all fees and other amounts and Obligations from time to time owing to Collateral Agent and the Purchasers by Issuer and each other Obligor under the Notes, this Agreement or under any other Note Document, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if Issuer or any other Guarantor shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. The guarantee in this Section 12.15(a) is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

 

(b)                Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 12.15(a) above are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of Issuer under the Notes, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 12.15(b) that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

 

(i)                  at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

 

(ii)                any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;

 

(iii)              the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

 

(iv)               any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, Collateral Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

 

(c)                 The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that Collateral Agent or any Purchaser exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Issuer under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

 62 

 

 

(d)                The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 12.15 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Issuer in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify Collateral Agent and the Purchasers on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

 

(e)                 The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that, until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 12.15(a), whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Issuer or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(f)                  The Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Fair Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 12.15(f) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of Section 12.15 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations. For purposes of this Section 12.15(f), (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Fair Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Fair Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Fair Share” means, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder and under the other Note Documents) of all of the Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.

 

12.16         In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 12.15(a) would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 12.15(f), be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 12.15(a), then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, Collateral Agent, any Purchaser or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

 

12.17         Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Issuer as of the date such Person becomes a Purchaser and as of the Closing Date, that:

 

(a)                 Such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, and has the power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the Exchange.

 

(b)                This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

 63 

 

 

 

(c)                This Agreement and consummation of the Exchange will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of or default under (i) such Purchaser’s organizational documents, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser or any of its assets are bound, or (iii) any laws, regulations or governmental or judicial decrees, injunctions or orders applicable to such Purchaser.

 

(d)                Each of the Notes to be received by such Purchaser hereunder will be acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Notes in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

(e)               Such Purchaser can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Notes and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.

 

(f)                Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive, review and understand all information related to Issuer requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from Issuer regarding Issuer, its Subsidiaries, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes, and has conducted and completed its own independent due diligence.

 

(g)               Based on the information such Purchaser has deemed appropriate, it has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into the Note Documents.

 

(h)               Such Purchaser understands that the Notes are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Issuer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency, or similar agency of any other country, has reviewed, approved, passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of Issuer or the purchase of the Notes.

 

(i)                 Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(j)                 Such Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Notes as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

(k)                Such Purchaser is not, and has not been during the consecutive three month period preceding the date hereof, a director, officer or “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of Issuer. The Purchaser and its Affiliates collectively beneficially own and will beneficially own as of the Closing Date (but without giving effect to the Conversion) less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(l)                The Purchasers agree that the Shares, Notes and Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such Shares, Notes and Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants are sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares, Notes and Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants are sold or transferred in accordance with to Rule 144, (iii) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such sale or transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act, or (iv) the Shares, Notes and Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants are transferred without consideration to an affiliate of such holder or a custodial nominee.

 

64 

 

 

(m)               Such Purchaser is, and has been for the consecutive six month period preceding the date hereof, the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Exchanged Notes being exchanged for the Shares. Such Purchaser has good, valid and marketable title to its Exchanged Notes, free and clear of any Liens (other than pledges or security interests that such Purchaser may have created in favor of a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such broker). Such Purchaser has not, in whole or in part, except as described in the preceding sentence, (a) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its Exchanged Notes or its rights in its Exchanged Notes, or (b) given any Person or entity any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to its Exchanged Notes. Upon such Purchaser’s delivery of its Exchanged Notes to the trustee under the 2019 Indenture pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Exchanged Notes shall be free and clear of all Liens created by such Purchaser.

EXHIBIT A

Description of Collateral

 

The Collateral consists of all of Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the following property:

 

All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles including Intellectual Property (except as noted below), commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts and other Collateral Accounts, all certificates of deposit, fixtures, letters of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and

 

All Issuer’s Books relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include: (a) more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding equity interests, membership units, or other securities owned by Issuer or any Guarantor of any Foreign Subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter if adverse tax consequences would result from the pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of such equity interests, provided that the Collateral shall include one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding non-voting equity interests of such Foreign Subsidiary; (b) any interest of Issuer as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease; (c) rights held under a license that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is effective under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Code (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity); (d) any interest of Issuer as a lessee under an Equipment lease if Issuer is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Issuer, Collateral Agent or any Purchaser; (e) any “intent to use” trademark applications for which a statement of use has not been filed (but only until such statement is filed); (f) any property and assets subject to Permitted Liens securing Permitted Debt (other than pursuant to clause (1), (6) or (7) of the definition thereof); (g) motor vehicles and other similar assets subject to certificates of title or ownership (except to the extent a security interest therein can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement); and (h) Excluded Accounts.

 

 

 

 

EXHIBIT B

Collateral Agent and Purchaser Terms

 

1.            Appointment of Collateral Agent.

 

(a)                 Each Purchaser hereby appoints WSFS (together with any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7 of this Exhibit B) as Collateral Agent under the Note Documents and authorizes Collateral Agent to (i) take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights, powers and remedies and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Collateral Agent under the Note Documents and (ii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except for Section 8 of this Exhibit B, the provisions of this Exhibit B are solely for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, and Issuer shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

(b)                Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to (i) hold security interests in the Collateral for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and otherwise act as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by the Note Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (ii) take, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Note Documents, and (iii) except as may be otherwise specified in any Note Document, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, exercise all remedies given to Collateral Agent and the Purchasers with respect to Issuer and/or the Collateral, whether under the Note Documents, applicable Requirements of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Purchaser to act as collateral sub-agent for Collateral Agent and the Purchasers for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any Deposit Account maintained by Issuer or any Guarantor with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, such Purchaser, and may further authorize and direct the Purchasers to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Collateral Agent, and each Purchaser hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. Collateral Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Note Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Exhibit B shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

(c)                 Under the Note Documents, Collateral Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Purchasers, with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Collateral Agent”, the terms “agent”, “Collateral Agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Note Document to refer to Collateral Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, are not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under any agency doctrine of any applicable law and are intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties, (ii) is not assuming any obligation under any Note Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Purchaser or any other Person and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Note Document, and each Purchaser, by accepting the benefits of the Note Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Collateral Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) through (iii) above. Except as expressly set forth in the Note Documents, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by WSFS or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

1 

 

 

2.Binding Effect; Reliance on Instructions from Required Purchasers.

 

(a)                 Each Purchaser, by accepting the benefits of the Note Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by Collateral Agent or the Required Purchasers (or, if expressly required in any Note Document, a greater proportion of the Purchasers) in accordance with the provisions of the Note Documents, (ii) any action taken by Collateral Agent in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Purchasers (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by Collateral Agent or the Required Purchasers (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Purchasers.

 

(b)                Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints, designates, authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and to take action on its behalf pursuant to the provisions thereof as directed by the Required Purchasers. Each Purchaser further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(c)                 If Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Required Purchasers or all affected Purchasers with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with any Note Document, then Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Purchasers or all affected Purchasers, as the case may be, and Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Note Document (i) if such action would, in the opinion of Collateral Agent, be contrary to any Requirement of Law or any Note Document, (ii) if such action would, in the opinion of Collateral Agent, expose Collateral Agent to any potential liability under any Requirement of Law or (iii) if Collateral Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Purchaser shall have any right of action whatsoever against Collateral Agent as a result of Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting under any Note Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Purchasers or all affected Purchasers, as applicable.

 

3.             Collateral Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Collateral Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (a) consult with any of its Related Persons and, whether or not selected by it, any other legal counsel, advisors, accountants and other experts (including legal counsel and advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged by, Issuer) and take or omit to take any action in accordance with the advice of any such legal counsel, advisors, accountants and other experts, and (b) rely and act upon any document and information (including those transmitted by electronic transmission) and any telephone message or conversation or other oral statement, in each case believed by it to be genuine and to have been transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties. None of Collateral Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Note Document, and each Purchaser and Issuer hereby waives and shall not assert (and Issuer shall cause its Subsidiaries to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties of Collateral Agent expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Collateral Agent: (i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Purchasers or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable judgment that Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Related Person; (ii) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Note Document; (iii) makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Purchaser or other Person for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of Issuer or any Related Person of Issuer in connection with any Note Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to Issuer, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Note Document to be transmitted to the Purchasers) omitted to be transmitted by Collateral Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Collateral Agent in connection with the Note Documents; and (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Note Document, whether any condition set forth in any Note Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of Issuer or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Event of Default, and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from Issuer or any Purchaser describing such Event of Default that is clearly labeled “notice of default”; and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Purchaser and Issuer hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and Issuer shall cause its Subsidiaries to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Collateral Agent based thereon.

 

2 

 

 

4.            Collateral Agent Individually. Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire stock and stock equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, Issuer or any Affiliate of Issuer as though it were not acting as Collateral Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates becomes a Purchaser hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Purchaser and the terms “Purchaser”, “Required Purchaser” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Note Document, include, without limitation, Collateral Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Purchaser, or as one of the Required Purchasers.

 

5.             Purchaser Credit Decision. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Collateral Agent, any other Purchaser or any of their Related Persons or upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Issuer and has made and will continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Note Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Note Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Issuer or any Affiliate of Issuer that may come in to the possession of Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons.

 

6.             Indemnification. Each Purchaser agrees to reimburse Collateral Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Issuer as required under the Note Documents (including pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Agreement)) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and any Taxes or insurance paid in the name of, or on behalf of, Issuer) incurred by Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to, its rights or responsibilities under, any Note Document (such costs and expenses, collectively, “Collateral Agent Expenses”). Each Purchaser further agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Issuer as required under the Note Documents (including pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Agreement)), ratably according to its Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, to the extent not indemnified by the applicable Purchaser, Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Purchaser) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Note Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to the foregoing; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable to Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons under this Section 6 of this Exhibit B to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, Collateral Agent may withhold from any payment to any Purchaser under a Note Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Collateral Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Purchaser for any reason, or if Collateral Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold Taxes from a prior payment to or for the account of any Purchaser but failed to do so, such Purchaser shall promptly indemnify Collateral Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Collateral Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may offset against any payment to any Purchaser under a Note Document, any applicable withholding Tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Purchaser but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Purchaser under the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 6 of this Exhibit B.

7.            Successor Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Purchasers and Issuer, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective, in accordance with the terms of this Section 7 of this Exhibit B. If Collateral Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If, after 30 days after the date of the retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Required Purchasers and has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent from among the Purchasers. Effective immediately upon its resignation, (a) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Note Documents, (b) the Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of Collateral Agent until a successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (c) the retiring Collateral Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Note Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Collateral Agent was, or because such Collateral Agent had been, validly acting as Collateral Agent under the Note Documents, and (d) subject to its rights under Section 2(b) of this Exhibit B, the retiring Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Collateral Agent its rights as Collateral Agent under the Note Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Collateral Agent, a successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under the Note Documents (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Collateral Agent). After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Exhibit B and Section 11 and Sections 12.2 and 12.9 of the Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent.

 

8.            Release of Collateral. Each Purchaser hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Collateral Agent, at the sole cost and expense of Issuer, to release (or in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

 

(a)                 any Guarantor if all of the stock of such Subsidiary owned by Issuer is sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Note Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to any Note Document; provided, that Issuer shall have provided to Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such transaction is permitted under the Note Documents (and each Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on such certificate in performing its obligations under this clause (a)); and

 

(b)                any Lien held by Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of by Issuer in a transaction permitted by the Note Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), provided, that Issuer shall have provided to Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such transaction is permitted under the Note Documents (and each Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on such certificate in performing its obligations under this clause (b)).

 

In addition, each Purchaser hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Collateral Agent, at the sole cost and expense of Issuer, to enter into non-disturbance or similar agreements with licensees of the Issuer’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property in connection with any collaboration, development, commercialization or other licensing transaction permitted by the Note Documents; provided, that Issuer shall have provided to Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that such transaction is permitted under the Note Documents (and each Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to conclusively rely on such certificate in performing its obligations under this paragraph).

(b)                Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent of, or at the request of, the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary, or as Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances, as provided for herein or in the other Note Documents), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request written instructions, or clarification of any instruction or request, from the Required Purchasers (or, if the relevant Note Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Purchaser or group of Purchasers, from that Purchaser or group of Purchasers) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion, and Collateral Agent may without any liability hereunder or under any other Note Document refrain from acting unless and until it receives those written instructions or that clarification. In the absence of such written instructions, Collateral Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interests of the Purchasers. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by Collateral Agent shall be binding on all of the Purchasers.

(d)                Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

(e)                 Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any unsuitability, inadequacy, expiration or unfitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any other Note Document nor shall it be obligated to make any investigation into, and shall be entitled to assume, the adequacy and fitness of any security interest created hereunder or pursuant to any other Note Document.

(g)                Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Collateral Agent’s Liens thereon, or any certificate prepared by any party in connection therewith, nor shall Collateral Agent have any duty to, and shall not be responsible or liable to the Purchasers for any failure to, monitor, maintain or preserve any portion of the Collateral, any security interests of Collateral Agent therein or any filings, registrations, or recordings made with respect thereto. Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Purchaser or any other person to investigate, confirm or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Issuer or is insured or has been encumbered, or that the liens and security interests granted to Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Note Documents or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Issuer shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2 or Section 4 of this Exhibit C) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

5.                   Indemnification by the Purchasers.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii) and 7(b)(iv) of this Exhibit C) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

C.                  in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuer and Collateral Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Purchaser (or other applicable Person) is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Issuer within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Issuer as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

 

D.                  to the extent a Foreign Purchaser is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Purchaser is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Purchaser are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(iii)                any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Issuer and Collateral Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Issuer or Collateral Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Issuer or Collateral Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(iv)               if a payment made to a Purchaser under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to Issuer and Collateral Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Issuer or Collateral Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Issuer or Collateral Agent as may be necessary for Issuer and Collateral Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

3 

 

 

(c)            Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Issuer and Collateral Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

8.             Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit C (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit C), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under the provisions of this Exhibit C with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 8 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

9.             Increased Costs. If any change in applicable law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining the Note or of maintaining its obligation to make the Note, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request of such Recipient, Issuer will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

10.           Survival. Each party’s obligations under the provisions of this Exhibit C shall survive the resignation or replacement of Collateral Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note Document.

At any time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the close of business on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, the Lender shall be entitled to convert all or any part of the Principal into Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section 2 at the Conversion Rate (any such conversion at the election of the Lender being referred to as a “Voluntary Conversion”); provided that (1) no Voluntary Conversion shall be permitted at any time when the Voluntary Conversion Conditions are not met, (2) the aggregate Principal amount of this Note converted pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion, together with the aggregate principal amount of the other Notes converted pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion, shall not exceed the Voluntary Conversion Cap and (3) with respect to any Conversion Date, the Principal amount of this Note, together with the aggregate principal amount of all other Notes and Second Lien Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion, in the aggregate, shall not exceed (inclusive of any applicable Prepayment Premium to be paid in connection therewith) $1,000,000; provided that Borrower may waive such limitation with respect to any single Conversion Date, which such waiver may be transmitted by electronic mail. Borrower shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.

 

(b)           Conversion Rate. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of any portion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, shall be determined according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):

 

  (Conversion Amount + Conversion Premium)  
  Conversion Price  

 

If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, then Borrower shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 rounded up).

 

 

 

 

(c)           Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)            Lender’s Delivery Requirements. To convert a Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) above on any date, the Lender shall (A) transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, a copy of an executed conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to Borrower (at 20451 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, MD 20876, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; Email: nick.tressler@senseonics.com, or at such other office or agency as Borrower may designate in writing), and (B) if required by Section 2(c)(v), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to Borrower, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Conversion Date, of the original Note being converted (or an indemnification undertaking in customary form with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).

 

(ii)           Borrower’s Response. Upon receipt by Borrower of a copy of a Conversion Notice, or in the case of a Forced Conversion, receipt by Borrower of the Forced Conversion Lender Notice (as defined in Section 2(d)(ii)) in accordance with Section 2(d), Borrower (A) shall promptly send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Lender and Borrower’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process the Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion in accordance with the terms herein, and (B) on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the end of the standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) following (I) the date of receipt or deemed receipt by Borrower of the Conversion Notice or (II) the date of receipt by Borrower of the Forced Conversion Lender Notice, shall credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled to the Lender’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled.

 

(iii)          Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, Borrower shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Lender the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Lender via facsimile (A) with respect to a dispute as to the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate relating to a Forced Conversion within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Forced Conversion Lender Notice or other date of determination and (B) with respect to a dispute as to the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate relating to a Voluntary Conversion, within one (1) Business Day of receipt or deemed receipt of the Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Lender and Borrower are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Lender, then Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by Borrower and the Required Lenders, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to Borrower’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. Borrower shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify Borrower and the Lender of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error, and the fees and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid one-half by Borrower and one-half by the Lender.

 

 

 

 

(iv)          Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock,(A) in the case of a Voluntary Conversion, upon delivery by the Lender of the Conversion Notice, (B) in the case of a Forced Conversion, upon delivery by the Lender to Borrower the Forced Conversion Lender Notice, or (C) in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which (whether in connection with a Voluntary Conversion or a Forced Conversion) is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute.

 

(v)           Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or repayment of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless all of the Principal is being converted or repaid. The Lender and Borrower shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or repaid as aforesaid, the Lender may not transfer this Note unless the Lender first physically surrenders this Note to Borrower, whereupon Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Lender a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Lender may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Lender and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or repayment of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the “Principal Amount” stated on the face hereof.

 

(d)           Forced Conversion.

 

(i)            Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, including the Forced Conversion Conditions and the limitations set forth in Sections 2.4 and 2.7 of the Loan Agreement, (x) in connection with a Cash Prepayment as set forth in Section 2.4(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement or (y) from and after the Strategic Transaction Announcement, Borrower may cause the conversion into Conversion Shares (a “Forced Conversion”) of the outstanding Principal amount of this Note set forth in the Forced Conversion Notice (as defined below); provided that (A) other than with respect to a Cash Prepayment, the aggregate Principal amount converted pursuant to a Forced Conversion shall not exceed the Forced First Lien Conversion Cap, (B) other than with respect to a Cash Prepayment, with respect to any Conversion Date, the Principal amount of this Note, together with the aggregate Principal amount of all other Notes and Second Lien Notes converted on such Conversion Date as a result of a Forced Conversion, in the aggregate, shall not exceed (inclusive of any applicable Prepayment Premium to be paid in connection therewith) $300,000, (C) the Forced Conversion Conditions are satisfied and (D) other than with respect to a Cash Prepayment, Borrower has previously caused the Conversion of the Principal amount of the Second Lien Notes equal to the Forced Second Lien Conversion Cap. Borrower shall effect Forced Conversions under each of the Notes on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective outstanding Principal amounts thereof.

 

 

 

 

(ii)           To effect a Forced Conversion, Borrower shall send a written notice via electronic mail to the Lender (a “Forced Conversion Notice”) at any time between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., New York City time on the Trading Day on which Borrower wishes to effect a Forced Conversion. The Forced Conversion Notice shall certify that the Forced Conversion Conditions and the other applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2 and Section 2.7 of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied (including reasonable supporting information), shall state the Principal amount hereunder that Borrower shall cause to be converted on the Conversion Date and shall state the number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Lender (subject to Section 2(d)(iii) and the other terms and conditions of this Section 2(d)). Simultaneously with delivery of a Forced Conversion Notice hereunder, Borrower shall send a Forced Conversion Notice with respect to a pro rata portion of the principal of each other Note.

 

(iii)          By no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the first Trading Day following the date of the Forced Conversion Notice, the Lender shall confirm to Borrower via electronic mail whether the Beneficial Ownership Cap will reduce the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such Forced Conversion (the “Forced Conversion Lender Notice”). If the Beneficial Ownership Cap will so reduce the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Forced Conversion (subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2(d)), the Forced Conversion Lender Notice shall also set forth the maximum number of Conversion Shares that may be issued to the Lender (and the corresponding Principal amount hereunder that may be converted) without exceeding the maximum number of shares that such Lender may receive under the Beneficial Ownership Cap (the “Forced Conversion Maximum Share Amount”). The number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the Forced Conversion shall equal the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Forced Conversion Notice; provided, however, that, if the issuance of the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Forced Conversion Notice would violate the Beneficial Ownership Cap or the Exchange Cap, the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the Forced Conversion shall instead equal the lesser of the Forced Conversion Maximum Share Amount and such amount as would not exceed the Exchange Cap (and the Principal amount hereunder to be converted on the applicable Conversion Date shall be correspondingly reduced).

 

(iv)         The Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to a Forced Conversion shall be delivered within the timeframe and in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) above; provided that shares delivered to satisfy the Prepayment Premium in connection with a Cash Prepayment shall be delivered as contemplated by Section 2.4(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement and the Forced Conversion Lender Notice shall so describe.

 

(e)           Beneficial Ownership Cap. As contemplated by Section 2.7(b) of the Loan Agreement, in no event shall any conversion of Common Stock hereunder, including by means of a Voluntary Conversion and a Forced Conversion, result in any Lender receiving Conversion Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

 

(f)           Additional Cap Amount. The Voluntary Conversion Cap in the Notes shall be increased by $0.45 for every $1.00 of Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale retained by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii)(1) of the Loan Agreement, as set forth in a Reinvestment Notice stating that the Borrower intends and expects to use such portion of such Net Proceeds (i.e., such retained amount) to reinvest in Additional Assets or R&D Expenditures; provided that Voluntary Conversion Cap in the Notes shall not be increased pursuant to this Section 2(f) to the extent the Voluntary Conversion Cap applicable to the Second Lien Notes shall have been increased in respect of the same Asset Sale.

 

 

 

 

3.             Reservation of Shares. Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Common Stock, prior to the receipt of Stockholder Approval, that shall be the aggregate maximum number that may be converted under this Note and the Second Lien Note without exceeding the Exchange Cap, and following receipt of Stockholder Approval, as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Cap), assuming that any conversions will be at the Fixed Conversion Price. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any conversion of this Note, all shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.

 

4.            Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Lender shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).

 

5.            Amendment; Waiver. The provisions of this Note may only be waived or amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

6.            Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude the full exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No renewal or extension of this Note or the Loan Agreement, no delay in the enforcement of payment under this Note or the Loan Agreement, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or power under this Note or the Loan Agreement shall affect the liability of Borrower or any endorser of this Note.

 

7.            Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 10 of the Loan Agreement.

 

8.            Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)           Registration or Exemption Required. This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. None of the Note or the Conversion Shares issued hereunder may be transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act, Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or a so-called “4[(a)](1) and a half” transaction.

2.            Conversion Rights. This Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.

 

(a)           Conversion at Option of the Holder. At any time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the close of business on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert all or any part of the Principal into Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section 2 at the Conversion Rate (any such conversion at the election of the Holder being referred to as a “Voluntary Conversion”); provided that (1) no Voluntary Conversion shall be permitted at any time when the Voluntary Conversion Conditions are not met, (2) the aggregate Principal amount of this Note converted pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion, together with the aggregate principal amount of the other Notes converted pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion, shall not exceed the Voluntary Conversion Cap and (3) with respect to any Conversion Date, the Principal amount of this Note, together with the aggregate principal amount of all other Notes and First Lien Notes converted on such Conversion Date pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion, in the aggregate, shall not exceed (inclusive of any applicable Prepayment Premium to be paid in connection therewith) $1,000,000; provided that Issuer may waive such limitation with respect to any single Conversion Date, which such waiver may be transmitted by electronic mail. Issuer shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.

 

(b)           Conversion Rate. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of any portion of this Note pursuant to this Section 2, shall be determined according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”):

 

               (Conversion Amount + Conversion Premium)            
Conversion Price

 

If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, then Issuer shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 rounded up).

 

(c)           Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

(i)           Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert a Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2(a) above on any date, the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, a copy of an executed conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to Issuer (at 20451 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, MD 20876, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; Email: nick.tressler@senseonics.com, or at such other office or agency as Issuer may designate in writing), and (B) if required by Section 2(c)(v), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to Issuer, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Conversion Date, of the original Note being converted (or an indemnification undertaking in customary form with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).

 

 

 

 

(ii)          Issuer’s Response. Upon receipt by Issuer of a copy of a Conversion Notice, or in the case of a Forced Conversion, receipt by Issuer of the Forced Conversion Holder Notice (as defined in Section 2(d)(ii)) in accordance with Section 2(d), Issuer (A) shall promptly send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and Issuer’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process the Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion in accordance with the terms herein, and (B) on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the end of the standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) following (I) the date of receipt or deemed receipt by Issuer of the Conversion Notice or (II) the date of receipt by Issuer of the Forced Conversion Holder Notice, shall credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled.

 

(iii)         Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, Issuer shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile (A) with respect to a dispute as to the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate relating to a Forced Conversion within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Forced Conversion Holder Notice or other date of determination and (B) with respect to a dispute as to the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate relating to a Voluntary Conversion, within one (1) Business Day of receipt or deemed receipt of the Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Holder and Issuer are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then Issuer shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by Issuer and the Required Purchasers, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. Issuer shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify Issuer and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error, and the fees and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid one-half by Issuer and one-half by the Holder.

 

(iv)         Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock,(A) in the case of a Voluntary Conversion, upon delivery by the Holder of the Conversion Notice, (B) in the case of a Forced Conversion, upon delivery by the Holder to Issuer the Forced Conversion Holder Notice, or (C) in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which (whether in connection with a Voluntary Conversion or a Forced Conversion) is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute.

 

 

 

 

(v)          Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or repayment of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Issuer unless all of the Principal is being converted or repaid. The Holder and Issuer shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and Issuer, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or repaid as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to Issuer, whereupon Issuer will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or repayment of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the “Principal Amount” stated on the face hereof.

 

(d)           Forced Conversion.

 

(i)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, including the Forced Conversion Conditions and the limitations set forth in Sections 2.4 and 2.7 of the Note Agreement, (x) in connection with a Cash Prepayment as set forth in Section 2.4(a)(ii) of the Note Agreement or (y) from and after the Strategic Transaction Announcement, Issuer may cause the conversion into Conversion Shares (a “Forced Conversion”) of the outstanding Principal amount of this Note set forth in the Forced Conversion Notice (as defined below); provided that (A) other than with respect to a Cash Prepayment, the aggregate Principal amount converted pursuant to a Forced Conversion shall not exceed the Forced Second Lien Conversion Cap, (B) other than with respect to a Cash Prepayment, with respect to any Conversion Date, the Principal amount of this Note, together with the aggregate Principal amount of all other Notes and Second Lien Notes converted on such Conversion Date as a result of a Forced Conversion, in the aggregate, shall not exceed (inclusive of any applicable Prepayment Premium to be paid in connection therewith) $300,000 and (C) the Forced Conversion Conditions are satisfied. Issuer shall effect Forced Conversions under each of the Notes on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective outstanding Principal amounts thereof.

 

(ii)          To effect a Forced Conversion, Issuer shall send a written notice via electronic mail to the Holder (a “Forced Conversion Notice”) at any time between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., New York City time on the Trading Day on which Issuer wishes to effect a Forced Conversion. The Forced Conversion Notice shall certify that the Forced Conversion Conditions and the other applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2 and Section 2.7 of the Note Agreement have been satisfied (including reasonable supporting information), shall state the Principal amount hereunder that Issuer shall cause to be converted on the Conversion Date and shall state the number of Conversion Shares to be issued to the Holder (subject to Section 2(d)(iii) and the other terms and conditions of this Section 2(d)). Simultaneously with delivery of a Forced Conversion Notice hereunder, Issuer shall send a Forced Conversion Notice with respect to a pro rata portion of the principal of each other Note.

 

 

 

 

(iii)         By no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the first Trading Day following the date of the Forced Conversion Notice, the Holder shall confirm to Issuer via electronic mail whether the Beneficial Ownership Cap will reduce the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such Forced Conversion (the “Forced Conversion Holder Notice”). If the Beneficial Ownership Cap will so reduce the number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Forced Conversion (subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2(d)), the Forced Conversion Holder Notice shall also set forth the maximum number of Conversion Shares that may be issued to the Holder (and the corresponding Principal amount hereunder that may be converted) without exceeding the maximum number of shares that such Holder may receive under the Beneficial Ownership Cap (the “Forced Conversion Maximum Share Amount”). The number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the Forced Conversion shall equal the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Forced Conversion Notice; provided, however, that, if the issuance of the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Forced Conversion Notice would violate the Beneficial Ownership Cap or the Exchange Cap, the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the Forced Conversion shall instead equal the lesser of the Forced Conversion Maximum Share Amount and such amount as would not exceed the Exchange Cap (and the Principal amount hereunder to be converted on the applicable Conversion Date shall be correspondingly reduced).

 

(iv)         The Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to a Forced Conversion shall be delivered within the timeframe and in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) above; provided that shares delivered to satisfy the Prepayment Premium in connection with a Cash Prepayment shall be delivered as contemplated by Section 2.4(a)(ii) of the Note Agreement and the Forced Conversion Holder Notice shall so describe.

 

(e)           Beneficial Ownership Cap. As contemplated by Section 2.7(b) of the Note Agreement, in no event shall any conversion of Common Stock hereunder, including by means of a Voluntary Conversion and a Forced Conversion, result in any Holder receiving Conversion Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

 

(f)            Additional Cap Amount. The Voluntary Conversion Cap in the Notes shall be increased by $0.45 for every $1.00 of Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale retained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii)(1) of the Note Agreement, as set forth in a Reinvestment Notice stating that Issuer intends and expects to use such portion of such Net Proceeds (i.e., such retained amount) to reinvest in Additional Assets or R&D Expenditures.

 

3.            Reservation of Shares. Issuer shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Common Stock, prior to the receipt of Stockholder Approval, that shall be the aggregate maximum number that may be converted under this Note and the First Lien Note without exceeding the Exchange Cap, and following receipt of Stockholder Approval, as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Cap), assuming that any conversions will be at the Fixed Conversion Price. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any conversion of this Note, all shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.

 

 

 

 

4.            Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).

 

5.            Amendment; Waiver. The provisions of this Note may only be waived or amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the Note Agreement.

 

6.             Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No delay or omission by the Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude the full exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No renewal or extension of this Note or the Note Agreement, no delay in the enforcement of payment under this Note or the Note Agreement, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or power under this Note or the Note Agreement shall affect the liability of Issuer or any endorser of this Note.

 

7.            Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 10 of the Note Agreement.

 

8.            Restrictions on Transfer.

None of the Note or the Conversion Shares issued hereunder may be transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act, Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or a so-called “4[(a)](1) and a half” transaction.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

 

Company:  Senseonics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
    
Number of Shares:  4,500,000 shares
    
Type/Series of Stock:  Common Stock of the Company
    
Warrant Price:  $0.66 per share
    
Issue Date:  April 24, 2020
    
Expiration Date:  April 24, 2023 (See also Section 5.1(b))
    
Exchange Agreement:  This Warrant to Purchase Stock (“Warrant”) is issued pursuant to that certain Second Lien Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement”), dated as of April 21, 2020 among Highbridge Tactical Credit Master Fund, L.P. (“Highbridge”), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, SCB (“WSFS”), as collateral agent and the Company, a Delaware corporation

 

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, Highbridge (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the above-stated Type/Series of Stock (the “Class”) of the above-named company (the “Company”) at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

 

SECTION 1         EXERCISE.

 

1.1        Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time through the Expiration Date exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2        Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised (“Cashless Exercised”). Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

 

X = (Y(A-B))/A

 

where:

 

X =         the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;

 

Y =        the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);

 

A =        the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and

 

B =        the Warrant Price.

 

1.3          Fair Market Value. If the Company’s common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”), the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s common stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.

 

1.4          Delivery of Shares and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall have its transfer agent credit the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise to the Holder’s balance accounts with the Depositary Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, shall deliver to the Holder a new warrant with identical terms to this Warrant, other than the number Shares represented thereby, representing the Shares not so acquired and this Warrant shall be deemed null and void. If for any reason the Shares are not able to be credited to the Holder through DTC, the Company’s transfer agent will reflect such Shares as being held by such Holder via book-entry and shall deliver a notice to the Holder of its book-entry position.

1.6            Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

 

(a)          Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization or other transaction that results in a Change of Control as defined in the Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, an Acquisition shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes.

 

(b)          Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the fair market value, as reported for the Business Day immediately before the consummation of the Acquisition, of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant pursuant to Section 1.1 above as to all Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be Cashless Exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such Cashless Exercise, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of the Warrant as the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the fair market value, as reported for the Business Day immediately before the consummation of the Acquisition, of one Share as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition and shall no longer be exercisable.

 

(c)          Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

 

(d)          As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by Holder in connection with the Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in Trading Market; and (iii) Holder would be able to publicly re-sell, within six (6) months following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by Holder in such Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition.

1.7          Equity Issuance Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not issue to any Holder, and no Holder may acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which such Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of any securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.90% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by any Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) trading days, confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

 

SECTION 2          ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

 

2.1          Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities or property (including in the form of cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property (including cash) which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

 

2.2          Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

 

2.3          No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (a) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (b) the then-effective Warrant Price.

 

4 

 

 

2.4          Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

 

SECTION 3          REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

 

3.1          Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:

 

(a)          This Warrant is, and all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares and any warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws and the issuance of any such Shares shall not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights. The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class, common stock and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion of the Shares into common stock or such other securities.

 

(b)          The Company’s capitalization as disclosed in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) is true and complete, in all material respects, as of the Issue Date (without giving effect to any transactions effected on the Issue Date among the parties to the Note Purchase and Exchange Agreement).

 

(c)          The Company (i) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted, and (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such qualification, except in the case of clause (ii) above, to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of this Warrant, (ii) a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business, prospects or properties of the Company, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect its obligations under this Warrant (any of (i), (ii) or (iii)) (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

(d)          The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority, and has taken all requisite corporate action, to execute and deliver this Warrant, sell and issue the Shares and carry out and perform all of its obligations under this Warrant, and without limiting the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees that the Company shall all times have authorized and reserved the number of Shares needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of Shares authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized Shares to a sufficient number. This Warrant constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally, including any specific performance.

 

5 

 

 

(e)          No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, or local governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant except for the filing of a Form D with the Commission under the Securities Act and compliance with the securities and blue sky laws in the states and other jurisdictions in which shares of Common Stock are offered and/or sold, which compliance will be effected in accordance with such laws and (b) the approval by the NYSE American of the listing of the Shares.

 

(f)          Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Warrant by the Company nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares) will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company pursuant to, (i) the charter or by-laws of the Company, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company is a party or bound or to which its or their property is subject, or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any conflict, breach or violation of, or imposition that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(g)          Neither the Company nor any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, company, trust, unincorporated organization, association, corporation, institution, public benefit corporation, firm, joint stock company, estate, entity or government agency (each a “Person”) acting on its behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of this Warrant.

 

(h)          Neither of the Company or any Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any Company security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or require registration of this Warrant under the Securities Act or cause this Warrant to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act.

 

(i)          The Company is in compliance with applicable NYSE American continued listing requirements. There are no proceedings pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company relating to the continued listing of the Shares on NYSE American and the Company has not received any notice of, nor to the Company’s knowledge is there any reasonable basis for, the delisting of the Shares from NYSE American.

 

(j)          The Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to constitute the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company in the fifteen (15) days prior to the issuance of this Warrant.
