Initially, WndrCo will have the right to designate four directors; GC will have the right to designate one director (the “GC Director”); iSub will have the right to designate one director (the “iSub Director”) and the Rollover Holders (holding a majority of the Interests initially held by the Rollover Holders at Closing) will have the right to designate one director, who shall be Michael R. Stanfield for so long as such designation right exists and he desires to serve and is not subject to a material disability (the “Rollover Director”). Additionally, the Rollover Holders will be entitled to designate one non-voting Board observer with customary observation and information rights for all board and committee meetings, subject to customary protections to preserve the attorney-client privilege.

 

2)  At such time that WndrCo ceases to own at least 50% of the Series A Interests that it held at the Initial Closing (or, following the Closing, at the Closing), WndrCo will be entitled to designate only two directors; at such time that GC or iSub, as applicable, ceases to own at least 25% of the Series A Interests, in each case that it held at the Initial Closing (or, following the Closing, at the Closing), then GC or iSub, as applicable, will cease to have the right to appoint any directors; at such time that the Rollover Holders cease to own at least 25% of the Interests that they held at the Closing, then the Rollover Holders will cease to have the right to appoint any directors; and at such time that WndrCo ceases to own at least 10% of the Series A Interests that it held at the Initial Closing (or, following the Closing, at the Closing), WndrCo will cease to have the right to appoint any directors. At any time that a Sponsor or Loeb Holding Corporation (“LHC”) does not have the right to appoint any directors but continues to hold equity in Company, such Sponsor or LHC, as applicable, will have the right to appoint one non-voting observer to the Board with customary observation and information rights for all Board and Committee meetings, subject to customary protections to preserve the attorney-client privilege.

 

3)  For so long as a Sponsor is or the Rollover Holders are, as the case may be, entitled to appoint a director, each will be entitled to have a single director on each committee of the Board.

 

4)  Directors will be entitled to customary indemnification agreements, D&O insurance, expense reimbursement and any other similar matters on an equivalent basis.

The right of first refusal will terminate on a Qualified Public Offering.

 

2)  Without the prior written consent of the Board, no other equityholder (excluding transfers by any Sponsor or Rollover Holder to the extent permitted in the preceding paragraph) may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any direct or indirect interest in Company other than (i) to a controlled affiliate of such equityholder or an affiliate of such equityholder which also controls such equityholder, (ii) in the case of LHC, to its stockholders in connection with a liquidation of LHC, and (iii) in the case of individuals, to equityholders of his or her immediate family (i.e., parents, spouse, children and/or trusts that are and remain primarily for the benefit of any of them); provided that consent of the Board will not be required for sales, transfers, assignments or other disposals (A) effected pursuant to registered offerings effected in accordance with the rights set forth under “Registration Rights,” (B) effected pursuant to the “Tag-Along Rights” or the “Drag-Along Rights” discussed below, or (C) in the case of individuals, subject to any repurchase rights contained in any employment or similar agreement, if any.

The right of first refusal will terminate on a Qualified Public Offering.

 

H. Tag-Along Rights

  

1)  If any Sponsor or Rollover Holder proposes to transfer any Interests held by it, then subject to transfers to affiliates, each other equityholder will have the right to sell a proportional amount of their Interests in such sale; provided that each participating equityholder will be required to participate on the same terms and conditions (on a pro rata basis, and the price per Interest shall be determined by calculating the equity value of Company implied by the price per Interest of the initially transferring holder, and distributing such equity value through a hypothetical liquidation waterfall) as the other parties selling in such transaction and to execute agreements and documents executed by the other parties selling in such transaction. These tag-along rights will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

 

A-6

1)  Subject to obtaining a Series A Approval, if necessary, WndrCo will have the sole right to cause a Company Sale, for so long as it owns more than 50% of the Series A Interests that it held at the Initial Closing (or, if after the Closing, at the Closing). The equityholders of Company shall cooperate in effecting the Company Sale to the extent approved by WndrCo.

 

2)  Such cooperation will include each equityholder voting its Interests to approve the transaction, waiving any dissenter or appraisal rights, selling its Interests in the transaction and entering into any sale agreements necessary for consummation of the transaction as requested by WndrCo; provided that such equityholder receives the same consideration in such sale as other equityholders holding the same class or series of units, that any such consideration is distributed among the equityholders through a hypothetical liquidation waterfall, and that such agreements limit each equityholder’s indemnification obligations to the amount of net proceeds received by such equityholder in such transaction on a several basis and other customary protections.

 

3)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of GC and the Rollover Holders shall not be required to agree to a non-compete or non-solicit covenant in connection with any drag-along Company Sale.

 

J.   Newco Contribution

  

1)  WndrCo will have the right to cause the Newco Contribution, which may be effected in one transaction or a series of related transactions, including by a downstream merger, a forced contribution by the holders (other than iSub) of their Newco equity into Holdco, or otherwise, provided that the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holdco equity received by the equityholders are substantially similar to the rights, preferences and privileges of the Newco equity they contribute and that such transaction or series of related transactions is effected in a manner consistent with the structure slides attached as Exhibit B hereto in a transaction that is expected to be governed by Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code or, if an alternative structure is used, in a manner that preserves the intended tax treatment of the Rollover and the Newco Contribution as exchanges governed by Section 351 or other tax-free exchange provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The equityholders of Company shall cooperate in effecting the Newco Contribution to the extent approved by WndrCo.

 

2)  Such cooperation will include each equityholder voting its Interests to approve the transaction, waiving any dissenter or appraisal rights, selling its Interests in the transaction and entering into any sale agreements necessary for consummation of the transaction as requested by WndrCo.

 

K. iSub Contribution

  

1)  WndrCo and iSub shall cause an iSub Contribution (as defined below) to be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing (and, in any event, by no later than 30 days after the Closing) on the terms specified in this Section K. An “iSub Contribution” means a transaction with iSub, pursuant to which (i) iSub becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of Company and (ii) the iSub Participants become equityholders of Company.

 

 

A-7


  

2)  The iSub Contribution and the Newco Contribution shall be structured in good faith as a single transaction or series of related transactions that is treated as an integrated component of the same transactions, and may be effected by merger, consolidation, sale, exchange, issuance, transfer, redemption or otherwise; provided, that the iSub Contribution will be effected in a manner consistent with the structure slides attached as Exhibit B hereto in a transaction that is expected to be governed by Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code, unless each of the Sponsors and the Rollover Holders agrees in writing to a different transaction structure (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, but with it being agreed that it is unreasonable to withhold consent to a different transaction structure if the transaction is structured in a manner so as to result in receipt by the iSub Participants and all of the Sponsors and the Rollover Holders of equity of Company in a transaction governed by the tax-free exchange provisions of the Internal Revenue Code). Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Parties will treat the iSub Contribution together with the Newco Contribution as set forth in Exhibit B hereto as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax reporting purposes.

 

3)  The iSub Contribution will be (i) effected at a $50 million valuation of iSub (as adjusted reasonably and in good faith for net cash (or net debt) then held by iSub), with the full purchase consideration (in the form of Interests) payable in full upon closing of the iSub Contribution (without escrow) and (ii) consistent with the capitalization set forth in Exhibit C hereto (subject to the assumptions set forth therein).

 

4)  The iSub Contribution will be effected pursuant to definitive documentation in form to be negotiated and agreed by all Sponsors acting reasonably and in good faith, with the understanding that the representations and warranties will be substantially as set forth in that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 14, 2018, by and among iSub and the purchasers and founders signatory thereto (with (x) ordinary course updates to the disclosure schedules attached to such Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, provided, that such updates are not material and adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and (y) reasonable updates to reflect the Transactions), and that iSub will deliver at closing an officer’s certificate (unless waived by WndrCo) confirming that the representations and warranties (as qualified by the disclosure schedules) are true and correct in all material respects as of the closing; provided, however, that inability of iSub to make such representations and warranties or deliver such officer’s certificate based on events or circumstances transpiring after the date hereof and not otherwise involving an intentional breach or fraud by iSub or the iSub Participants shall not in and of itself constitute (A) failure to comply for purposes of Section 6(x) below or (B) a breach

 

 

A-8


  

of this Section K. There will be no post-Closing indemnification obligations on the part of the iSub Participants other than for intentional breaches or fraud. WndrCo and each of the equityholders of the Company shall cooperate in good faith, and make themselves reasonably available, to negotiate the definitive documentation governing the iSub Contribution promptly thereafter, with the intent of having such definitive documentation in substantially final form as soon as possible and in any event prior to the Closing.

 

5)  The equityholders of Company shall cooperate in effecting the iSub Contribution to the extent reasonably requested by WndrCo and iSub, with such cooperation to include each equityholder voting its Interests to approve the transaction, waiving any dissenter or appraisal rights, contributing its Interests to a new wholly owned subsidiary, and entering into any sale, contribution or other agreements necessary for consummation of the transaction as requested by WndrCo.

 

6)  In the event of a breach of the obligations in this Section K by WndrCo, then iSub or GC may bring a claim for breach of this Section K (a “Claim”) against WndrCo in accordance with this Section K and Sections 8 (“Governing Law”), 9 (“Submission to Jurisdiction”) and 10 (“Waiver of Jury Trial”) of the letter agreement. Provided that no such Claim has been brought by iSub or GC, if (x) iSub and GC have each complied with their obligations hereunder and (y) the iSub Contribution is not consummated by the 30th day following the Closing (the “Put Time”), then during the 30-day period following the Put Time, each of iSub and GC shall have the right to notify Company of its election to put 100% of the Interests held by iSub or GC, as applicable, as of the Closing (a “Put Sale”). A Put Sale shall be consummated within five days of notification of such Put Sale at a purchase price for each Interest equal to the Series A-2 OIP (other than the Series A-1 Interests, which will be at the Series A-1 Conversion Price), and shall, if properly elected by iSub or GC, as applicable, be the sole and exclusive recourse of iSub (and its affiliates) or GC (and its affiliates), as applicable, on the one hand, and WndrCo (and its affiliates), on the other hand, for any breach by such other Sponsor of this Section K.

 

7)  In the event of a breach of the obligations in this Section K by iSub and/or GC, then WndrCo may bring a Claim against iSub and/or GC, as applicable, in accordance with this Section K and Sections 8 (“Governing Law”), 9 (“Submission to Jurisdiction”) and 10 (“Waiver of Jury Trial”) of the letter agreement. Provided that no Claim has been brought by WndrCo, if (x) WndrCo has complied with its obligations hereunder and (y) the iSub Contribution is not consummated by the Put Time, then during the 30-day period following the Put Time, Company shall have the right to notify iSub and/or GC, as applicable, of its election to call 100% of the Interests held by iSub and/or GC, as applicable, as of the Closing (a “Call Purchase”). A Call Purchase shall be consummated within five days of notification of such Call Purchase at a purchase price for each

 

 

A-9


  

Interest equal to Series A-2 OIP (other than the Series A-1 Interests, which will be at the Series A-1 Conversion Price), and shall, if properly elected by WndrCo and accepted by iSub or GC, as applicable, be the sole and exclusive recourse of WndrCo (and its affiliates), on the one hand, and iSub (and its affiliates) or GC (and its affiliates), as applicable, on the other hand, for any breach by such other Sponsor of this Section K.

The equityholders of Company will cooperate in effecting the Qualified Public Offering to the extent approved by WndrCo.

 

2)  Each of the Company equityholders holding more than 1% of the outstanding Interests will have customary piggyback registration rights. Each Sponsor will have up to two demand registrations, subject to a step-down to be agreed if ownership falls below 10% of the then-outstanding Series A Interests. All registration rights shall be subject to customary restrictions, such as holdback agreements and underwriter cutbacks, in which case each equityholder exercising such right will be cut back on a pro rata basis.

  Independent Exercise; Maximum Amount; No Catch-Up. For purposes of clarity, each of the Put Participants may exercise their Put independently of one another, and Company may exercise the Call with respect to one Put Participant independently of the other, in any Put/Call Notice Period. With respect to each Put Participant, the maximum amount that may be Put and Called in any year is 10% of the Interests held by such Put Participant at the Closing (it being understood that, in the case of a Put, the annual maximum Put percentage of 10% shall not be adjusted regardless of whether any Interests previously Put by a Put Participant have not been purchased (or payment has not been delivered) by Company due to the Put Limitations set forth below or otherwise). There will be no opportunity for a Put Participant or Company to Put or Call Interests that were not Put or Called in a prior Put/Call Notice Period. Any transferee of Interests initially held by a Put Participant shall not be entitled to the Put (excluding in each case transfers to controlled affiliates and, in the case of individuals, family members and trusts for the benefit of family members, as applicable, with respect to which the Put and Call rights shall remain in effect) but shall remain subject to the Call.

  (b) if, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Board, the closing of the Put would result in material harm to Company (as a result of limited liquidity of Company or otherwise), the Board may defer the closing of the Put until the Put would not have such an effect;

 

  (c) if the closing of the Put would result in a violation of any federal, state or local statute, law, regulation, order, injunction or decree applicable to Company (including any Distribution Law (as defined below)), the Board may defer the closing of the Put until the Put would not have such an effect;

 

3


  (d) if, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Board, Company does not have sufficient unencumbered cash, cash equivalents and/or marketable securities that are freely tradeable by the Company (“Cash Equivalents”) to pay the full Put Purchase Amount (leaving sufficient Cash Equivalents following the closing of the Put for the reasonable ongoing operations of Company), (i) Company shall only be obligated to pay that portion of the Put Purchase Amount that would, in the reasonable and good faith determination of the Board, leave Company with sufficient Cash Equivalents to fund the reasonable ongoing operations of Company, and (ii) the Board may defer the payment of the unpaid portion of the Put Purchase Amount until it has sufficient Cash Equivalents as described above.

 

  In addition to deferring the closing of the Put or the payment in full of the Put Purchase Amount as set forth in clauses (a) through (d) above, Company may, in its sole discretion, defer the closing of any Put up to two years (an “Elective Deferral”). The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Put Participant of any Board decision to defer the closing of the Put or payment in full or part of the Put Purchase Amount, or any Elective Deferral (any such notice, a “Deferral Notice”).
