3.9          Foreign Investment Regulations.

3.10        No General Solicitation.

6.10        Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

 

6.11        Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

ZSPACE, INC.

 

(Pursuant to Sections 242 and 245 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

 

zSpace, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”),

 

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

 

1.         That the name of this corporation is zSpace, Inc, and that this corporation was originally organized as Infinite Z, LLC. The original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the state of Delaware on October 26, 2006 under the name Infinite Z, Inc.

 

2.        That the Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions proposing to amend and restate the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, declaring said amendment and restatement to be advisable and in the best interests of this corporation and its stockholders, and authorizing the appropriate officers of this corporation to solicit the consent of the stockholders therefor, which resolution setting forth the proposed amendment and restatement is as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

FIRST: The name of this corporation is zSpace, Inc. (the “Corporation”).

 

SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The name of its registered agent at such address is National Registered Agents, Inc.

 

THIRD: The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law.

 

FOURTH: Immediately upon the effective time of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate” and such time, the “Effective Time”), each 40 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock then outstanding, par value $0.00001 per share, shall be and hereby is automatically converted and reconstituted into one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, which shall be fully paid and nonassessable, without any action on the part of the holders of such shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares shall be issued upon the Reverse Stock Split of any share or shares of the Common Stock, and, in lieu of issuing fractional shares upon the Reverse Stock Split, the Corporation shall pay each holder the fair value, as of the Effective Time, of the fractional shares that would otherwise be issued upon the Reverse Stock Split. Whether or not fractional shares would have been issuable (but for the preceding sentence) upon the Reverse Stock Split shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares represented by each stock certificate. Each outstanding stock certificate of the Corporation, which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represents one or more shares of the Corporation’s capital stock shall thereafter be deemed to represent the appropriate number of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, taking into account the Reverse Stock Split, until such stock certificate is exchanged for a new stock certificate, if such shares are certificated, or if the shares are uncertificated, the stock records maintained by the Company shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the number of shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. Exept as otherwise noted, all numbers herein shall reflect the Reverse Stock Split. 

 1

 

The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is (i) 596,900,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) and (ii) 433,402,771 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).

 

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

 

A.       COMMON STOCK

 

1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock set forth herein.

 

2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings); provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one (1) or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one (1) or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to the General Corporation Law. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by (in addition to any vote of the holders of one (1) or more series of Preferred Stock that may be required by the terms of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.

 

B.        PREFERRED STOCK

 

433,402,771 shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated “Series A Preferred Stock” with the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or “Sections” in this Part B of this Article Fourth refer to sections of Part B of this Article Fourth. References to “Preferred Stock” mean the Series A Preferred Stock. 

 2

 

1.       Dividends.

 

From and after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, dividends at the rate per annum of 11% of the Original Issuance Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock) (the “Accruing Dividends”). Accruing Dividends shall accrue from day to day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative; provided, however, that except as set forth in the following sentence of this Section 1, in Section 2.1, or immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time, such Accruing Dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors and the Corporation shall be under no obligation to pay such Accruing Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) the amount of the aggregate Accruing Dividends then accrued on such share of Preferred Stock and not previously paid and (ii) (A) in the case of a dividend on Common Stock or any class or series that is convertible into Common Stock, that dividend per share of Preferred Stock as would equal the product of (1) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Preferred Stock, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or (B) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into Common Stock, at a rate per share of Preferred Stock determined by (1) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series) and (2) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the applicable Original Issue Price (as defined below); provided that if the Corporation declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one (1) class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, the dividend payable to the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 1 shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Preferred Stock dividend. The “Original Issue Price” shall mean, as to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series A Original Issuance Price as defined in the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated on or about November [ ___ ], 2020 between the Corporation and the purchasers of Series A Preferred Stock named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”), subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

2.        Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

 

2.1      Preferential Payments to Holders of Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders or, in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event or the Available Proceeds (as defined below), before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Original Issue Price, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 2.1, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

2.2      Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment in full of all Liquidation Amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders or, in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event, the consideration not payable to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2.1 or the remaining Available Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The aggregate amount which a holder of a share of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 is hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidation Amount.”

 

2.3      Deemed Liquidation Events.

 

2.3.1      Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Holders”) elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least 20 days prior to the effective date of any such event:

 

(a)a merger or consolidation in which

 

(i)the Corporation is a constituent party or

 

(ii)a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation,

 4

 

except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority by voting power of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or

 

(b)       (1) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (2) the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of one (1) or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

2.3.2       Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Section 2.3.1(a)(i) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be allocated to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2.

 

2.3.3       Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities to be paid or distributed to such holders pursuant to such Deemed Liquidation Event. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

2.3.4       Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Section 2.3.1(a)(i), if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”), the Merger Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not Additional Consideration (such portion, the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Section 2.3.4, consideration placed into escrow or retained as a holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Initial Consideration.

3.        Voting.

 

3.1       General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to one hundred (100) times the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class and on an as-converted to Common Stock basis.

 

3.2       Election of Directors. The holders of record of the shares of Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three directors of the Corporation (the “Preferred Directors” or “Series A Directors”), the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two directors of the Corporation (the “Common Directors”) until the Series A Preferred Stock is issued if the Corporation does not close the Arowana Funding at an Arowana Related Closing (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement), and the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock voting together as a single class with the holders of Series A Preferred Stock having one hundred (100) votes per whole share, shall be entitled to elect the remaining directors of the Corporation (the “Remaining Directors”); provided, however, for administrative convenience, the initial Preferred Director may also be appointed by the Board of Directors in connection with the approval of the initial issuance of Preferred Stock without a separate action by the holders of Preferred Stock. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentence may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of capital stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. For purpose of clarity, the right of the holders of the Common Stock to continue to exclusively elect the Common Directors shall only continue if the Company has closed the Arowana Funding at an Arowana Related Closing (as such terms are defined by the Purchase Agreement) and such right shall automatically terminate if the Arowana Funding does not close at an Arowana Related Closing.

 

The Preferred Directors shall be entitled to cast the number of votes on any matter brought before the Board for approval, whether at a meeting of the Board of Directors or in connection with an action by unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof as provided in Section 3.3. If the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.2, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Preferred Stock elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by the stockholders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate class. 

 6

 

At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.2, a vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or classes or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or classes or series or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or classes or series pursuant to this Section 3.2.

 

For the purpose of clarity, every reference in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Corporation, in each case as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, to a majority or other proportion of the directors of the Corporation shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors. The voting rules set forth in this Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 shall apply to any vote taken at any meeting of a committee or sub-committee of the Board of Directors, such that, at any meeting of a committee or sub-committee of the Board of Directors, each director shall be entitled to cast the number of votes he or she would be entitled to cast if the vote were being taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors.

 

3.3       Director Voting Power. Subject to the proviso below, each director who is serving on the Board of Directors shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote on all matters submitted to the Board of Directors or a committee thereof for a vote; provided, however, that (i) if there is only one (1) Preferred Director serving on the Board, then such Preferred Director shall be automatically deemed the Super-Voting Preferred Designee (as defined in the Amended and Restated Voting and Rights Agreement, dated on or about the date of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by and between the Corporation and the investors party thereto (the “Voting Agreement”)) and shall then be entitled to cast five (5) votes on all matters submitted to the Board of Directors or a committee thereof for a vote or written consent; (ii) if there are only two (2) Preferred Directors serving on the Board, the Super-Voting Preferred Designee shall then be entitled to cast four (4) votes on all matters submitted to the Board of Directors or a committee thereof for a vote or written consent; and (iii) if there are three (3) Preferred Directors then serving on the Board, the Super-Voting Preferred Designee shall then be entitled to cast three (3) votes on all matters submitted to the Board of Directors or a committee thereof for a vote or written consent. For so long as the Super-Voting Preferred Designee is entitled to more than one (1) vote in accordance with preceding sentence on any matter submitted to a vote of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, any reference in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation or the General Corporation Law, as each may be amended or restated from time to time, to a majority or other proportion of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the Board of Directors or of such committee. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3 are intended to confer additional voting power on the Super-Voting Preferred Designee under certain circumstances in accordance with and as permitted under Section 141(d) of the General Corporation Law.

 

3.4       Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. At any time when at least 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the Requisite Holders given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect. 

 7

 

3.4.1      liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, effect any merger or consolidation or any other Deemed Liquidation Event, or consent to any of the foregoing;

 

3.4.2      amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation;

 

3.4.3      (i) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, or reclassify, any capital stock other than equity issuances to non-executive service providers pursuant to the Corporation’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan that are approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director, if any, or (ii) increase the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock or any additional class or series of capital stock of the Corporation;

 

3.4.4      cause or permit any of its subsidiaries to sell, issue, sponsor, create or distribute any digital tokens, cryptocurrency or other blockchain-based assets (collectively, “Tokens”), including through a pre-sale, initial coin offering, token distribution event or crowdfunding, or through the issuance of any instrument convertible into or exchangeable for Tokens;

 

3.4.5      purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than (i) redemptions of or dividends or distributions on the Preferred Stock as expressly authorized herein, (ii) dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock and (iii) repurchases of stock from former employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons who performed services for the Corporation or any subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or service at no greater than the original purchase price thereof;

 

3.4.6      create, or authorize the creation of, or issue, or authorize the issuance of any debt security or create any lien or security interest (except for purchase money liens or statutory liens of landlords, mechanics, materialmen, workmen, warehousemen and other similar persons arising or incurred in the ordinary course of business) or incur other indebtedness for borrowed money, including but not limited to obligations and contingent obligations under guarantees, or permit any subsidiary to take any such action with respect to any debt security lien, security interest or other indebtedness for borrowed money, unless, in each case, such debt security has received the prior approval of the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director, if any;

 

3.4.7      create, or hold capital stock in, any subsidiary that is not wholly owned (either directly or through one (1) or more other subsidiaries) by the Corporation, or permit any subsidiary to create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue, any shares of any class or series of capital stock, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or permit any direct or indirect subsidiary to sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or otherwise dispose (in a single transaction or series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of such subsidiary, unless, in each case, approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series A Director, if any; or 

 8

 

3.4.8      increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors, change the number of votes entitled to be cast by any director or directors on any matter, or adopt any provision inconsistent with Article Sixth.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.4, the consent of the Requisite Holders will not be required under any circumstance to initiate any insolvency proceeding, without limitation, a filing under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, unless required by law or explicitly provided elsewhere in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the consent of the Requisite Holders will not be required to pursue or consummate a Qualified Public Offering.

 

4.         Optional Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

4.1     Right to Convert.

 

4.1.1      Conversion Ratio. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be equal to the Series A Original Issuance Price. Such initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

 

4.1.2      Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Preferred Stock; provided that the foregoing termination of Conversion Rights shall not affect the amount(s) otherwise paid or payable in accordance with Section 2.1 to holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event.

 

4.2     Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

4.3     Mechanics of Conversion.

 

4.3.1      Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Corporation’s transfer agent at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent and (b), if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent). Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, and (ii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted.

 

4.3.2      Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. 

 10

 

4.3.3      Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

4.3.4      No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

 

4.3.5      Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

 

4.4           Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

 

4.4.1       Special Definitions. For purposes of this Article Fourth, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a)       “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 4.4.3 below, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other than (1) the following shares of Common Stock and (2) shares of Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to the following Options and Convertible Securities (clauses (1) and (2), collectively, “Exempted Securities”):

 

(i)as to any series of Preferred Stock shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued as a dividend or distribution on such series of Preferred Stock;

 

(ii)shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock that is covered by Section 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 or 4.8;

 

(iii)shares of Common Stock or Options issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation;

 11

 

(iv)shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities actually issued upon the exercise of Options or shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security and such Option or Convertible Security was outstanding prior to the Original Issue Date or is approved or ratified after the Original Issue Date by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including the Series A Director, if any; or

 

(v)shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

(b)     “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding Options.

 

(c)     “Option” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.

 

4.4.2       No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the Corporation receives written notice from the Requisite Holders agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

4.4.3       Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

(a)       If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date. 

 12

 

(b)      If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

(c)       If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 4.4.5) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Original Issue Date), are revised after the Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 4.4.3(a) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective. 

 13

 

(d)       Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

(e)       If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this Section 4.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 4.4.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Section 4.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

4.4.4        Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4.4.3), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a)       “CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock

 

(b)       “CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

(c)       “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue); 

 14

 

(d)       “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued or deemed issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and

 

(e)       “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

4.4.5       Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4.4, the consideration received by the Corporation for the issuance or deemed issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

(a)Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

 

(i)insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

(ii)insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and

 

(iii)in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

(b)      Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4.4.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

 

(i)The total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 15

 

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

 

4.4.6      Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4.4, then, upon the final such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

4.5     Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. 

 16

 

4.6      Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1)       the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

 

(2)       the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.7      Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.8      Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 4.4, 4.6 or 4.7), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one (1) share of Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. 

 17

 

4.9      Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.

 

4.10    Notice of Record Date. In the event:

 

(a)       the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

(b)       of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or

 

(c)       of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

 

then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice. 

 18

 

5.        Mandatory Conversion.

 

5.1      Trigger Events. Upon either (a) immediately prior to the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $30,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Corporation or (ii) pursuant to a similar regulatory framework applicable to a non-U.S. public offering resulting in at least $10,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Corporation, in either case, with such offering resulting in the Common Stock being listed for trading on an exchange or marketplace approved the Board of Directors (a “Qualified Public Offering”) which permits the Lender (as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of November [__], 2020 by and between the bSpace Investments Limited and the Company, as such agreement is amended from time to time (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”)) to receive listed equity in exchange for all principal, interest and premiums payable under the Loan Agreement or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), then (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Section 4.1.1 and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation.

 

5.2      Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 5.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 5.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly. 

 19

 

6.         Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock that are redeemed, converted or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock following redemption, conversion or acquisition.

 

7.         Waiver. Except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding and (b) at any time more than one (1) series of Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of any series of Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of such series of Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of such series of Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

8.         Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article Fourth to be given to a holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.

 

FIFTH: Subject to any additional vote required by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

SIXTH: Subject to any additional vote required by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation. Each director shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter presented to the Board of Directors except as provided in Article Fourth, Section B.3.3.

 

SEVENTH: Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

 

EIGHTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation. 

 20

 

NINTH: To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Ninth to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

(c)          On and following December 15, 2020, if there is no Arowana Funding on or before December 15, 2020, any and all such individuals designated from time to time in a writing delivered to the Company and signed by dSpace.

(a)          elect to remove from the Board any incumbent Board Designee who occupies a Board seat for which such Designator or Designators are entitled to designate the Board Designee under Section 2.1, provided that such removal is effected in the manner allowed by applicable law, the Company’s then-effective Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; and/or

 

(b)          designate a new Board Designee for election to a Board seat for which such Designator or Designators are entitled to designate the Board Designee under Section 2.1 (whether to replace a prior Board Designee or to fill a vacancy in such Board seat); provided such removal and/or designation of a Board Designee is approved in a writing signed by Designators who are entitled to designate such Board Designee under Section 2.1, in which case such election to remove a Board Designee and/or elect a new Board Designee will be binding on all such Designators. In the event of such a removal and/or designation of a Board Designee under this Section 2.3, the Holders shall vote their Shares as provided in Section 2.1 to cause: (a) the removal from the Board of the Board Designee or Designees so designated for removal by the appropriate Designators or Designators; and (b) the election to the Company’s Board Directors of any new Board Designee or Designees so designated for election to the Board by the appropriate Designator or Designators.

 

 

2.4          No “Bad Actor” Designees. Each Designator hereby represents and warrants to the Company that, to such Designator’s knowledge, none of the “bad actor” disqualifying events described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (each, a “Disqualification Event”), is applicable to such Designator’s initial Board Designee named above except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. Any Board Designee to whom any Disqualification Event is applicable, except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable, is hereinafter referred to as a “Disqualified Designee”. Each Designator hereby covenants and agrees (A) not to designate or participate in the designation of any Board Designee who, to such Designator’s knowledge, is a Disqualified Designee and (B) that in the event such Designator becomes aware that any individual previously designated by any such Designator is or has become a Disqualified Designee, such Designator shall as promptly as practicable take such actions as are necessary to remove such Disqualified Designee from the Board and designate a replacement designee who is not a Disqualified Designee.

2.6          Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney. Each party to this Agreement hereby constitutes and appoints as the proxies of the party and hereby grants power of attorney to (x) a designee of dSpace for any action on or prior to the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, (y) a designee of the Board or (z) the President of the Company, and each of them, with full power of substitution, with respect to the matters set forth herein, including, without limitation, votes regarding the size and composition of the Board pursuant to Section 1 and Section 2, votes to increase authorized shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and votes regarding the approval of any Acquisition of the Company as set forth herein and hereby authorizes each of them to represent and vote, if and only if the party (i) fails to vote within five (5) business of a request by the Company or dSpace, or (ii) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such party’s Shares in favor of the election of persons as members of the Board determined pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the increase of authorized shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or in favor of any Acquisition of the Company as provided herein or to take any action reasonably necessary to effect the terms of this Agreement. Each of the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 2.6 is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, each is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Each party hereto hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or power of attorney with respect to the Shares and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 7 hereof, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein.

 

 

2.7          No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. No Holder, including dSpace nor any Affiliate thereof, shall have any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any Holder have any liability as a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.8          Vote to Increase Authorized Common Stock. Each Holder agrees to vote or cause to be voted all Shares owned by such Holder, or over which such Holder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock available for conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at any given time.

 

3.DRAG ALONG OBLIGATIONS.

 

3.1          General. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Board and dSpace approve a proposed Acquisition (as defined below), then, in any such event, all Holders shall be obligated to (i) be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of shares of voting securities, at all meetings for the vote upon any such proposed Acquisition (so as to be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings); (ii) vote, or give his, her or its written consent with respect to, all Shares of capital stock now or hereafter directly or indirectly owned (of record or beneficially) by him, her or it in favor of such proposed Acquisition and all other matters that may be necessary to consummate or are related to the Acquisition, and in opposition of any proposal that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the consummation of any such proposed Acquisition; and (iii) refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to or in connection with such proposed acquisition.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acquisition” shall mean either: (a) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from stockholders of the Company shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the out-standing voting power of the Company (a “Stock Sale”); or (b) a transaction that qualifies as a “Deemed Liquidation Event” as defined in the Restated Certificate.

 

 

3.2         Further Actions to be Taken. For purpose of clarity, in the event the Company and dSpace approve an Acquisition as provided in Section 3.1, then, subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in below in Section 3.3, each Holder and the Company hereby agree:

 

(a)          if such transaction requires stockholder approval, with respect to all Shares that such Holder owns or over which such Holder otherwise exercises voting power, to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Shares in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company (together with any related amendment or restatement to the Restated Certificate required to implement such Sale of the Company) and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;

 

(b)          if such transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of shares of capital stock of the Company beneficially held by such Holder as is being sold by the dSpace to the Person to whom dSpace proposes to sell its Shares, and, except as permitted in Section below, on the same terms and conditions as the other stockholders of the Company;

 

(c)          to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or dSpace in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 3.2, including, without limitation, executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, any associated indemnity agreement, or escrow agreement, any associated voting, support, or joinder agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances), and any similar or related documents;

 

(d)          not to deposit, and to cause their Affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Shares of the Company owned by such party or Affiliate in a voting trust or subject any Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquirer in connection with the Sale of the Company;

 

(e)          to refrain from (i) exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company, or (ii); asserting any claim or commencing any suit (x) challenging the Sale of the Company or this Agreement, or (y) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the dSpace or any affiliate or associate thereof (including, without limitation, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty) in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Sale of the Company, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that with respect to clause (y) in the event the Arowana Funding has closed on or before December 15, 2020, subject to the condition that such Sale has been approved by the Board of Directors, including at least two non dSpace Preferred Designees or if there is only one non-dSpace Preferred Designees, by such non-dSpace Designee;

 

 

(f)          if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Shares pursuant to this Section 1.2 includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Holder would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities; or (y) the provision to any Holder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Holder in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Holder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of the securities which such Holder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Shares; and

 

(g)          in the event that the dSpace, in connection with such Sale of the Company, appoint a stockholder representative (the “Stockholder Representative”) with respect to matters affecting the Holders under the applicable definitive transaction agreements following consummation of such Sale of the Company, (x) to consent to (i) the appointment of such Stockholder Representative, (ii) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar fund in connection with any indemnification or similar obligations, and (iii) the payment of such Holder’s pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense fund or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such Stockholder Representative in connection with such Stockholder Representative’s services and duties in connection with such Sale of the Company and its related service as the representative of the Holders, and (y) not to assert any claim or commence any suit against the Stockholder Representative or any other Holder with respect to any action or inaction taken or failed to be taken by the Stockholder Representative, within the scope of the Stockholder Representative’s authority, in connection with its service as the Stockholder Representative, absent fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

3.3         Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Holder will not be required to comply with Section 3.1 and 3.2 above in connection with any proposed Acquisition of the Company (the “Proposed Sale”), unless:

 

(a)          any representations and warranties to be made by such Holder in connection with the Proposed Sale are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Shares, including, but not limited to, representations and warranties that (i) the Holder holds all right, title and interest in and to the Shares such Holder purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (ii) the obligations of the Holder in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, (iii) the documents to be entered into by the Holder have been duly executed by the Holder and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable (subject to customary limitations) against the Holder in accordance with their respective terms; and (iv) neither the execution and delivery of documents to be entered into by the Holder in connection with the transaction, nor the performance of the Holder’s obligations thereunder, will cause a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement to which the Holder is a party, or any law or judgment, order or decree of any court or governmental agency that applies to the Holder;

 

 

(b)          such Holder is not required to agree (unless such Holder is a Company officer or employee) to any restrictive covenant in connection with the Proposed Sale (including, without limitation, any covenant not to compete or covenant not to solicit customers, employees or suppliers of any party to the Proposed Sale) or any release of claims other than a release in customary form of claims arising solely in such Holder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company;

 

(c)          such Holder and its Affiliates are not required to amend, extend or terminate any contractual or other relationship with the Company, the acquirer or their respective Affiliates, except that the Holder may be required to agree to terminate the investment-related documents between or among such Holder, the Company and/or other stockholders of the Company;

 

(d)          the Holder is not liable for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Sale, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any stockholder of any of identical representations, warranties and covenants provided by all stockholders);

 

(e)          liability shall be limited to such Holder’s applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to each Holder in connection with such Proposed Sale in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Holders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such Holder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud by such Holder, the liability for which need not be limited as to such Holder;

(g)          subject to clause (f) above, requiring the same form of consideration to be available to the holders of any single class or series of capital stock, if any holders of any capital stock of the Company are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such capital stock will be given the same option; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.3(g) shall entitle any holder to receive any form of consideration that such holder would be ineligible to receive as a result of such holder’s failure to satisfy any condition, requirement or limitation that is generally applicable to the Company’s stockholders.

4.TAG ALONG RIGHTS.

  

4.1         Tag-Along Transaction. If at any time any one or more Investors (individually and collectively, the “Majority Stockholder”) intends to transfer shares of the Company’s capital stock representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding capital stock of the Company or more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding voting power of the capital stock of the Company in a sale consummated in a single transfer or a series of related transfers to a prospective purchaser or group of prospective purchasers as part of a single transaction or group of related transactions (the “Tag-Along Transaction”), each other Holder holding more than 300,000 shares of capital stock of the Company besides any Holder listed on Schedule 1.4 to the Purchase Agreement (each a “Major Stockholder”) will have the right, at such Holder’s discretion, (the “Tag-Along Right”) to participate in such Tag-Along Transaction by selling up to the number of shares equal to the number of shares offered to be sold in the Tag-Along Transaction (the “Offered Shares” to be sold by the Majority Stockholder multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares held by such Major Holder (calculated on as converted basis), and the denominator of which is the total number of shares held by all Holders (without giving effect to any sale of the shares subject to the Tag-Along Transaction). The Majority Stockholder or the Company shall provide notice of the Tag-Along Transaction to each Major Stockholder (the “Offer Notice”). Each Major Stockholder desiring to participate in the Tag-Along Transaction shall send notice of such election to the Company and the Majority Stockholder within ten (10) business days after the date of the Offer Notice (the “Co-Sale Period”).

 

4.2         Closing. The closing of the Tag-Along Transaction should not be more than thirty (30) business days after expiration of the Co-Sale Period. Any sale of shares to the proposed transferee shall be made on the terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice. Any offer made by Majority Stockholder to the Major Stockholders Holders may be withdrawn by the Majority Stockholder.

 

4.3         Exceptions. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to a transfer of Shares to the following:

 

(i)         any pledge of Shares made by the Majority Stockholder pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction which creates a mere security interest; or

 

(ii)        any sale or transfer of Shares between or among one or more of the Majority Stockholder or their Affiliates;

 

provided, in each case, that (i) the transferring Majority Stockholder shall inform the Company, and (ii) the pledgee, transferee or donee (each a “Permitted Transferee”) shall execute a Supplemental Signature Page and shall agree to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

 

4.4         Considerations. The aggregate consideration payable to the participating selling Holders in a Tag-Along Transaction shall be allocated based on the number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock sold to the prospective transferee by each Holder as provided in Subsection 4.1, provided that if a Holder wishes to sell Preferred Stock, the price set forth in Offered Notice shall be appropriately adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. In the event that the Tag-Along Transaction constitutes an Acquisition, then the transaction documents shall provide that the aggregate consideration from such transfer shall be allocated to the participating Holders in accordance with the Restated Certificate as if (A) such transfer were a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Certificate), and (B) the capital stock sold in accordance with the Tag-Along Transaction were the only shares of capital stock outstanding.

 

 

4.5         Escrows. In the event that a portion of the aggregate consideration payable to the participating Holders is placed into escrow, the terms of the Tag-Along Transaction shall provide that (x) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated in accordance with the Restated Certificate as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such transfer, and (y) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the participating Holders upon release from escrow shall be allocated in accordance with the Restated Certificate after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Tag-Along Transaction constitutes an “Acquisition” (as defined above)), then the terms of Section 3 of this Agreement shall control and apply in lieu of these provisions.

Each party hereto shall execute and deliver any further documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement and agree not to vote any shares of Company’s capital stock, or to take any other actions that would in any manner defeat, impair, be inconsistent with or adversely affect the stated intentions of the parties as provided in this Agreement.

FORM OF KIA WARRANT

 

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

 

Warrant No. 2020-1 Date of Issuance: _________

 

ZSPACE, INC.

 

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Kuwait Investment Authority

 

zSpace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that Kuwait Investment Authority, a Kuwaiti public authority established under Kuwaiti Law No. 47/1982 for the purpose of managing, in the name and for the account of the Government of the State of Kuwait, the investments of the State of Kuwait, or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 8) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as determined as provided below in Section 1 at a purchase price of $0.001 per share (subject to adjustment as provided herein). The shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Stock” and the “Purchase Price,” respectively.

 

The Warrant is issued pursuant to, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, the Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated as of the date hereof and issued to the Registered Holder (the “KIA Note”).

 

1.          Number of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, on or after the conversion of the Convertible Note (the “GII Convertible Note”) issued as of the date hereof by the Company to dSpace Investments Limited (“GII”) into Series A Preferred Stock of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof by and among the Company, GII and the investors named therein (the “Exercise Trigger Date”), Registered Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Warrant Stock equivalent to the product of (a) fifteen percent and (b) the Company’s Fully-Diluted Capitalization (as defined in the Series A Purchase Agreement) as of December 15, 2020 (assuming conversion of the Convertible Note but excluding any equity issued in connection with the Arowana Funding (as defined in the Series A Purchase Agreement)), less the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding and held by the Registered Holder as of the Exercise Trigger Date. For the purpose of clarity, the Registered Holder acknowledges that the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrant depends on the Arowana Funding (as defined in the Series A Purchase Agreement), and accordingly, if the Arowana Funding closes by December 15, 2020, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrant is expected to equal 669,264 and if the Arowana Funding does not close by December 15, 2020, then the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrant is expected to equal 67,269,913, in each case, less the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding and held by the Registered Holder as of the Exercise Trigger Date.

 

 

2.Exercise.

 

(a)          Manner of Exercise. On or after the Exercise Trigger Date, this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise. The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer, or by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Registered Holder.

 

(b)          Effective Time of Exercise. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 2(a). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates (including in the electronic form via Carta or otherwise) for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2(d) shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock represented by such certificates.

-2

 

(c)          Net Issue Exercise.

 

(i)          In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided in Section 2(a), the Registered Holder may elect to receive shares of Warrant Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election on the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, in which event the Company shall issue to such Registered Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A - B)
  A

 

Where X = The number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the Registered Holder.
     
  Y = The number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).
     
  A = The fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock (at the date of such calculation).
     
  B = The Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(ii)         For purposes of this Section 2(c), the fair market value of Warrant Stock on the date of calculation shall mean with respect to each share of Warrant Stock:

 

(A)         if the exercise is in connection with an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such public offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the fair market value shall be the initial “Price to Public” per share specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering;

 

(B)         if this Warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with, the Company’s initial public offering, and if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or actively traded over-the-counter:

 

(1)          if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a thirty (30) day period ending three days before date of calculation; or

 

(2)          if the Company’s Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sales price (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three days before the date of calculation; or

 

(C)         if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the fair market value of Warrant Stock shall be at the highest price per share which the Company could obtain on the date of calculation from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Warrant Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, unless the Company is at such time subject to an acquisition as described in Section 9(b), in which case the fair market value of Warrant Stock shall be deemed to be the value received by the holders of such stock pursuant to such acquisition.

-3

 

(d)          Delivery to Holder. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

 

(i)            a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and

 

(ii)           in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Sections 2(a) or 2(c).

 

3.Adjustments.

 

(a)          Stock Splits and Dividends. If the Company’s outstanding shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in the Company’s shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock shall be paid in respect of the Company’s shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If the Company’s outstanding shares of the same class as the Warrant Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

(b)          Reclassification, Etc. In case there occurs any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, or reorganization shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Registered Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.

 

(c)          Adjustment Certificate. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Stock or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Purchase Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.

-4

 

4.Transfers.

 

(a)          Unregistered Security. Each holder of this Warrant acknowledges that none of the Company’s securities (including this Warrant and the Warrant Stock) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Stock issued upon its exercise (or any securities issued by the Company upon conversion or exchange thereof) in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to the sale of any such securities and registration or qualification of such securities under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Each certificate or other instrument for Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant (and any securities issued by the Company upon conversion or exchange thereof) shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect.

 

(b)          Transferability. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(a) hereof and to the “Lockup” provisions in Section 7, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company.

 

(c)          Warrant Register. The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant. Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.

 

5.           Representations and Warranties of the Registered Holder. The Registered Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a)          Authorization. The Registered Holder has full power and authority to enter into this Warrant. The Warrant, when executed and delivered by the Registered Holder, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Registered Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

 

(b)          Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Warrant is issued to the Registered Holder in reliance upon the Registered Holder’s representation to the Company, which by the Registered Holder’s acceptance of this Warrant, the Registered Holder hereby confirms, that the Warrant to be acquired by the Registered Holder and the Warrant Stock (and any securities issued by the Company upon conversion or exchange thereof) (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for the Registered Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Registered Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By accepting this Warrant, the Registered Holder further represents that the Registered Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Registered Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

-5

 

(c)          Disclosure of Information. The Registered Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. The Registered Holder understands that such discussions, as well as any written information delivered by the Company to the Registered Holder, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business which it believes to be material.

 

(d)          Restricted Securities. The Registered Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Registered Holder’s representations as expressed herein. The Registered Holder understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Registered Holder must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Registered Holder acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Registered Holder further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Registered Holder’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

 

(e)          No Public Market. The Registered Holder understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.

 

(f)          Accredited or Sophisticated Investor. The Registered Holder is (i) an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in securities of emerging growth companies and acknowledges that the Registered Holder is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.

 

6.           Representations of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Registered Holder that all shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, including payment of the Exercise Purchase Price, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws.

7.Lock-up Agreement.

 

(a)          Lock-up Period; Agreement. If so requested by the Company or the underwriters in connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Registered Holder shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company however or whenever acquired (except for those being registered) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement, and Registered Holder shall execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of such offering, provided, that all stockholders of the Company then holding at least 1% of the outstanding Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) and all officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements.

 

(b)          Stop-Transfer Instructions. In order to enforce the foregoing covenants, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities of the Registered Holder (and the securities of every other person subject to the restrictions in Section 7(a)).

 

(c)          Transferees Bound. The Registered Holder agrees that prior to the Company’s initial public offering it will not transfer securities of the Company unless each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Section 7 and to be subject to the waiver of statutory inspection rights in Section 7.

 

8.           Termination. This Warrant (and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof) shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following (the “Expiration Date”):

 

(a)          December 31, 2020;

 

(b)          the closing of a public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act; or

 

(c)          the sale, conveyance or disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business or the Company’s merger with or into or consolidation with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) or any other transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company is disposed of, provided that this Section 8(c) shall not apply to a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or to an equity financing in which the Company is the surviving corporation.

 

9.Notices of Certain Transactions. In case:

 

(a)          the Company shall take a record of the holders of its outstanding stock of the same class as the Warrant Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right,

-7

 

(b)          of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,

 

(c)          of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of

 

the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Registered Holder of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of the Company’s outstanding stock of the same class as the Warrant Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion) are to be determined. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

 

10.         Reservation of Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of Warrant Stock and other stock, securities and property, as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

11.         Exchange of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder of any Warrant or Warrants, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company will issue and deliver to or upon the order of such Registered Holder, at the Company’s expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Registered Holder or as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.

 

12.         Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

-8

 

13.         No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder of this Warrant shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.

 

14.         No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Warrant Stock on the date of exercise, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

15.         Survival of Representations. Unless otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in or made pursuant to this Warrant shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant.

 

16.         Attorney’s Fees. If any action at law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of any of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

 

17.Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Warrant, and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

 

(b)          Entire Agreement; Cancellation of Prior Warrant. This Warrant sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between them relating to the subject matter hereof. The Warrant to Purchase Stock issued by the Company to the Registered Holder dated May 9, 2019 is hereby cancelled and terminated in its entirety.

 

(c)          Amendments and Waivers. No modification of or amendment to this Warrant, nor any waiver of any rights under this Warrant, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Company and the Registered Holder. No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Warrant shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance.

 

(d)          Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

 

(e)          Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by email, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the signature page, as subsequently modified by written notice, or if no address is specified on the signature page, at the most recent address set forth in the Company’s books and records.

-9

 

(f)          Severability. If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (a) such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant, (b) the balance of this Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (c) the balance of this Warrant shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(g)          Construction. This Warrant is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Warrant shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.

 

(h)          Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

ZSPACE, INC. TRIGGERING EVENT BONUS PLAN

(ADOPTED NOVEMBER [   ], 2020)

 

1.           Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to certain executive employees of zSpace, Inc. (including any successor entity, parent company or subsidiary thereof, the “Company”) to incentivize and motivate them in the event of a Triggering Event. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has determined that the adoption of the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Terms not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10 of this Plan.

 

2.           Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Board, except as may be explicitly provided otherwise herein.

 

3.           Eligibility to Participate. An employee of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan if he or she is a member of the Company’s executive team as constituted on the Effective Date.. Plan terms will govern all benefits payable under the Plan.

 

4.Bonus Allocation and Payment.

 

(a)          Bonus Pool. The Plan will operate through the establishment of a Bonus Pool, which shall be equal to $5,400,000.

 

(b)          Allocation. Interests in the Bonus Pool will be awarded at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer subject to approval of the Board, at any time following the adoption of the Plan, with the initial allocations shall be made no later than December 31, 2020; provided that if dSpace Investments Limited (“dSpace”) does not have a designated director serving on the Board, the consent of dSpace will be required in lieu of Board approval. Each Participant shall be notified of his or her allocation of the Bonus Pool (the “Interest”) in a Triggering Event Bonus Agreement, if and when awarded hereunder (the amount of the Bonus Pool representing such Interest, a “Bonus Amount”, which may be specified not to exceed a certain dollar amount). The Interests, the Bonus Amounts and the applicable Triggering Event Bonus Agreements may be modified or canceled at any time until the Closing in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(a)(ii), below.

 

(c)          Forfeiture. Participants who fail to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 shall forfeit their Bonus Amounts and/or Interest.

 

(d)          Form of Payment. Subject to the Board’s discretion to determine otherwise for any or all Participants (which determination shall be deemed to have been made if the Board shall have approved a definitive agreement or plan in respect of any Triggering Event that addresses the treatment of Bonus Amounts), the Bonus Pool (and any Bonus Amount actually payable to any or all Participant) shall consist of cash and/or equity.

 

(e)          Reduction of Bonus Amount. The amounts which may otherwise be payable under this Plan to a Participant shall be reduced on a “dollar-for-dollar” basis by any consideration paid or payable to a Participant, and such Participant’s Family (as defined below), separate from the operation of this Plan in connection with the Triggering Event with respect to such Participant’s and such Participant’s Family’s vested (or deemed vested) capital stock or vested (or deemed vested) Company options, other equity awards or warrants (excluding any preference shares of the Company) (“Equity Awards”); excluding for such purposes any merger proceeds in respect of vested (or deemed vested) Equity Awards which are subjected to new vesting conditions based on the Participant’s continued service or achievement of performance milestones (which shall not be construed to mean an earn-out condition of general applicability to stockholders, and which applies to holders of preferred stock), and including for such purposes Equity Awards held by the Participant and such Participant’s Family that have become vested due to any applicable acceleration upon the Closing of such Triggering Event (net of any exercise price, if applicable).

 

 

5.           Conditions to Payment of Bonus Amount. The obligation of the Company to pay any Bonus Amount to a Participant is subject to and contingent upon the fulfillment of each of the conditions set forth below. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any Bonus Amount, nor shall any Bonus Amount vest or accrue (either in whole or in part), until all such conditions have been fulfilled.

 

(a)          The Triggering Event is consummated.

 

(b)          The Participant must be actively employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing in order to be eligible to receive the Bonus Amount, provided that if the Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Participant resigns for Good Reason within a period of one (1) month immediately prior to Closing, this employment condition in Section 5(b) will be deemed to be satisfied.

 

(c)          The Participant shall have signed and returned a Triggering Event Bonus Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

(d)          The Participant shall not receive a Bonus Amount if the Board reasonably determines that such Participant has breached his or her obligations under this Plan or any confidential information and invention assignment agreement between the Participant and the Company or has materially breached any other contract between the Participant and the Company.

 

(e)          The Participant shall, upon request of the Company, have executed and delivered such other agreements or documents determined necessary by the Company to bind Participant to any indemnification obligations set forth in the definitive agreement evidencing the Triggering Event;

 

(f)          Notwithstanding any provisions in this Section 5 to the contrary, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive a Bonus Amount unless such Participant has signed a general release (in a form prescribed by the Company) of all known and unknown claims that the Participant may then have against the Company or persons affiliated with the Company, and its subsidiaries, parents, predecessors and successor corporations and assigns (a “Release”), and not revoked such Release, on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date.

 

(g)          Notwithstanding any provisions in this Section 5 to the contrary, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive a Bonus Amount unless such Participant has voted any voting-eligible shares that the Participant owns, or with respect to which such Participant has discretionary voting power, in favor of the Triggering Event, and executed (and not revoked) all agreements and documents requested by the Company that are required to effect such vote by the applicable due dates. This Section 5(g) shall not be construed to require the Participant to vote to approve any payments pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.280G-1, Q/A-7.

 

6.Contingent Amounts. The Bonus Amounts will not be reduced to fund any Contingent Amount.

 

7.           Reallocation of Bonus Amounts. Except as may be specifically set forth in this Plan, and for the period until Closing only, any portion of the Bonus Pool not allocated to a Participant under this Plan (whether because such portion corresponds to any portion of a Bonus Amount forfeited by a Participant and available for reissuance under this Plan, because such portion corresponds to any portion of the Bonus Pool never allocated under this Plan, because such portion represents a reduction for Equity Awards pursuant to Section 4(e), or otherwise) may be allocated or reallocated to other Participants under this Plan as provided for in Section 4(b) above and/or distributed to stockholders of the Company.

 

8.           Time of Payments. Contingent upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5 above and the provisions of Section 9 below, payment of the Bonus Amounts shall be made immediately following any payments with respect to the Senior Obligations and prior to any other Company liabilities or payments in respect of capital stock in connection with the Triggering Event, but in no event later than the fortieth (40th) day after the Closing Date.

9.General Provisions.

 

(a)Interpretation, Amendment, or Termination of Plan.

 

(i)         Subject to Sections 4(b) and 9(a)(ii), this Plan shall be interpreted and construed by the Board and all benefit determinations, including, but not limited to, amounts of benefits, eligibility, and the occurrence of Triggering Events shall be made by the Board, and all determinations or interpretations shall be final and binding on all Participants.

 

(ii)        This Plan (including the Bonus Amounts) may be amended or terminated by prior written consent of the Board at any time prior to the Closing, provided that no amendment or termination may adversely affect awards held by Participants that have been previously awarded in writing by the Company without the written approval of both the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The granting of additional Interests shall not be subject to this Section 9(a)(ii).

 

(iii)       The Plan (and any Bonus Amounts and/or Triggering Event Bonus Agreements) will terminate automatically on December 31, 2021, unless the Company has entered into a definitive agreement regarding a Triggering Event on or before such date or unless the Plan is extended by the Board in its sole discretion.

 

(b)          No Right to Employment. This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on any employee or Participant any obligation to remain as, or become, an employee, or impose on the Company any obligation (i) to retain any employee or a Participant as an employee, (ii) to change the status of any employee or a Participant as an at-will employee, or (iii) to change the Company’s policies regarding termination of employment.

 

(c)          Tax Consequences. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any payment or other consideration otherwise payable to a Participant under this Plan as necessary to pay withholding and payroll taxes and other deductions required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant shall be responsible for the payment of all individual tax liabilities relating to any payment or benefit under this Plan. The Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to the tax consequences (including, without limitation, under Section 409A of the Code) of any payment or any other consideration provided to Participant or made on his/her behalf under the terms of the Triggering Event Bonus Agreement or this Plan, and the Participant shall be solely responsible for the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, Participants acknowledge and agree that the Company is under no express or implied duty or obligation to design or administer this Plan in a tax efficient manner.

 

(d)          Notices. Any notices provided hereunder must be in writing and such notices or any other written communication shall be deemed effective upon the earlier of personal delivery (including personal delivery by email or facsimile) or the third day after mailing by first class mail, to the Company at its primary office location and to a Participant at his or her address as listed in the Company’s payroll records. Any payments made by the Company to a Participant under the terms of this Plan shall be delivered to such a Participant either in person or at his address as listed in the Company’s payroll records.

 

(e)          Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Plan will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Plan is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Plan will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.

 

(f)          Complete Agreement. Except to the extent expressly otherwise provided herein, this Plan, together with the respective Triggering Event Bonus Agreement executed by each Participant, constitutes the entire agreement between each such Participant and the Company and it is the complete, final, and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to the subject matter herein. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall not supersede or affect any other agreements relating to any Participant’s employment or severance, or the Triggering Event.

3 

 

(g)         Prior Plans Superseded. By accepting awards under this Plan, each Participant acknowledges and agrees that any and all Company Liquidity Event Bonus Plans and Company Liquidity Event Bonus Agreements dated on or about February 11, 2019 shall be entirely replaced and superseded by this Plan and shall be of no further force or effect.

 

(h)         Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof.

 

(i)          Successors and Assigns. This Plan is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Participant and the Company, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators; provided, however, that a Participant may not assign any of his or her duties hereunder and he or she may not assign any of his or her rights hereunder (including the right to receive a Bonus Amount) without the express written consent of the Company.

 

(j)          Section 409A. To the extent (a) any payments or benefits to which Participant becomes entitled under this Plan, or under any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with Participant’s termination of employment with the Company constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and (b) Participant is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code, then such payments shall not be made or commence until the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Participant’s “separation from service” (as such term is at the time defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) from the Company; or (ii) the date of Participant’s death following such separation from service; provided, however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Participant, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which Participant would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph shall be paid to Participant or Participant’s beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest). Any termination of Participant’s employment is intended to constitute a “separation from service” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1. It is intended that each installment of the payments provided hereunder constitute separate “payments” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). It is further intended that payments hereunder satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Code Section 409A (and any state law of similar effect) provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a “short-term deferral”). The Company and each Participant will work together in good faith to consider amendments to the Plan including with respect to the payment of any Bonus Amounts, which are necessary or appropriate to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to the actual payment to the Participant under Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder. To the extent any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A payable to Participant hereunder could be paid in one or more taxable years depending upon Participant completing certain employment-related actions (such as resigning after a failure to cure a Good Reason event and/or returning an effective release), then any such payments will commence or occur in the later taxable year to the extent required by Code Section 409A.

 

(k)         Section 280G. If (1) any amounts payable to Participant under this Plan or otherwise are characterized as excess parachute payments pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, and (2) Participant thereby would be subject to any United States federal excise tax due to that characterization, then Participant’s termination benefits hereunder and under any other applicable agreements will be payable either in full or in a lesser amount, whichever would result, after taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, in Participant’s receipt on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of termination and other benefits. The determination of any reduction required pursuant to this section (including the determination as to which specific payments shall be reduced) shall be made by one of the six largest accounting firms doing business in the U.S. which otherwise does not perform services for the Company, as designated by the Company, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company or any related corporation for all purposes. If required, the payments and benefits under this Plan shall be reduced in the following order: (A) a pro rata reduction of (i) cash payments that are subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation and (ii) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (B) a pro rata reduction of (i) employee benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation and (ii) employee benefits not subject to Section 409A of the Code; and (C) a pro rata cancellation of (i) accelerated vesting of shares and other equity-based awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code as deferred compensation and (ii) shares and other equity-based awards not subject to Section 409A of the Code. In the event that acceleration of vesting of shares and other equity-based award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Participant’s shares and other equity-based awards unless Participant elects in writing a different order for cancellation.

(l)           Choice of Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of California, exclusive of the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

 

(m)         No Prior Funding. No amounts payable under this Plan shall actually be funded, set aside or otherwise segregated from the general assets of the Company prior to payment. The obligation to pay the benefits hereunder shall at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and be paid out of the general assets of the Company.

 

(n)          No Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no member of the Board and no officer or employee of the Company shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the administration of the Plan unless attributable to such person’s own fraud or willful misconduct; nor shall the Company be liable to any person for any such action unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a director, officer or employee of the Company.

 

(o)          ERISA Not Applicable. The Plan is a bonus program and not an “employee pension benefit plan” or “pension plan” subject to the application of the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, as provided in U. S. Department of Labor regulations, including in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-2(c).
