On June 12, 2020, OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (the “Company”) closed its previously announced Private Placement (as defined in the Proxy Statement), pursuant to its Investment Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2020 (the “Investment Agreement”), by and among the Company, Steiner Leisure Limited (“Steiner”) and the other investors named on the signature pages thereto, including members of the Company’s management and board of directors (collectively, the “Co-Investors,” and together with Steiner, the “Investors”).

In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company entered into, among other agreements, (i) a Governance Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2020 (the “Governance Agreement”), by and among the Company, Steiner, and solely for the purpose of Section 18 thereof, Haymaker Acquisition Corp.

In addition, on June 12, 2020, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase approximately 5.0 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $5.75 per share. A copy of the Form of Warrant Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit B to the Investment Agreement, is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

On June 12, 2020, concurrently with closing of the Private Placement, Adam Hasiba, age 36, was appointed to the Board to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Dolan’s resignation.

  (a)

The Board of Directors is hereby expressly vested with the authority to adopt a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of authorised but unissued Preferred Shares, which shares may be issued from time to time, in one or more series and in such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors in such resolution or resolutions.

The powers of the Board of Directors with respect to the Series Terms of a particular series (any of which powers may, by resolution of directors, be specifically delegated to one or more of its committees, except as prohibited by law) shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:

 

  (i)

The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series;

  (b)

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Shares set forth in any Series Terms Resolution, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends and at such times and in such manner as determined by the Board of Directors, declare and pay dividends on the Common Shares of the Company.

 

  (c)

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for the payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company and the payment or setting aside for payment of any preferential amount due to the holders of any series of Preferred Shares, the holders of Common Shares, subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of shares ranking on a parity with the Common Shares as to the payments or distributions in such event, shall be entitled to receive ratably any and all assets of the Company remaining to be paid or distributed.

 

  (d)

Each holder of Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote for each such share held by such holder on any matter submitted to a vote or for the consent of the shareholders of the Company on which such holder is entitled to vote thereon or consent thereto, which, with respect to the Non-Voting Common Shares and for purposes of clarity, shall only apply with respect to the matters set forth in Article 11(k) below.

Unless otherwise provided with respect to a particular series of Preferred Shares in a Series Terms Resolution, no holder of capital shares of the Company shall have any preemptive or other right, except as such rights are expressly provided by contract, to purchase or subscribe for or receive any shares of any class or series of the Company, whether now or hereafter authorised, or any warrants, options, bonds, debentures or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or carrying any right to purchase any shares of any class or series of the Company.

Certain Provisions Regarding the Non-Voting Common Shares:

 

  (j)

Unless otherwise required by law or as expressly provided in Article 11(k) of this Memorandum, each holder of Non-Voting Common Shares, in his, her or its capacity as such, shall have no voting power in respect of his, her or its Non-Voting Common Shares and shall not be entitled to vote the Non-Voting Common Shares held by him, her or it on any matter submitted to a vote or for the consent of the shareholders of the Company.

 

  (k)

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Memorandum or the Articles of Association, each holder of Non-Voting Common Shares that is a Steiner Person (as defined in the Articles of Association) shall be entitled to vote the Non-Voting Common Shares held by him, her or it on matters submitted to a vote or for the consent of the shareholders of the Company with respect to the election or removal of any director (or director position, as applicable) that the applicable Steiner Persons have the right to designate for appointment or nomination pursuant to the Governance Agreement (but not any other matters).

 

  (l)

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Memorandum or the Articles of Association, Non-Voting Common Shares shall rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects, and carry the same rights and privileges, as Voting Common Shares (including in respect of dividends and in respect of distributions upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company) and be treated the same in all respects as Voting Common Shares (including in any merger, consolidation, share exchange, reclassification or other similar transaction, as described in Article 11(o) of this Memorandum). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Company shall in any manner split, subdivide or combine (including by way of a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Voting Common Shares or Non-Voting Common Shares) the outstanding shares of Voting Common Shares or Non-Voting Common Shares, then the outstanding shares of the other such class of Common Shares shall likewise be split, subdivided or combined in the same manner proportionately and on the same basis per share; provided, however, that no dividend or other distribution payable in Voting Common Shares shall be declared on the Non-Voting Common Shares and no dividend or other distribution payable in Non-Voting Common Shares shall be declared on the Voting Common Shares, but instead, in the case of a dividend or other distribution payable in any class of Common Shares, each class of Common Shares shall receive such dividend or other distribution in like shares.

 

  (m)

Conversion of Non-Voting Common Shares.

 

  (i)

Automatic Conversion of Non-Voting Shares. (A) Subject to Article 127(c) of the Articles of Association, each Non-Voting Common Share shall be automatically, without further action by the current or former holder thereof, converted into one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Voting Common Share, upon the occurrence of a Qualified Transfer of such Non-Voting Common Share and (B) with the prior consent of the Board (or any authorized committee thereof), each Non-Voting Common Share shall be automatically, without further action by any holder thereof, converted into an identical number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Voting Common Shares at such date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified in writing by the

 

4


  Steiner Representative. For purposes of this Article 11(m), a “Qualified Transfer” shall mean a Transfer of Non-Voting Common Shares by the holder thereof (x) to a third party that is not (1) an Affiliate of such holder nor (2) a person whose ownership thereof would result in such shares being treated as constructively owned by such holder under Section 958(b) of the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations and other official guidance (a Person described in this clause (x), an “Unrelated Person”), and (y) that either complies with the Transfer Restrictions (as defined in the Articles of Association), or is permitted pursuant to Article 127 of the Articles of Association (including by giving effect to Article 127(c), if applicable).

 

  (ii)

Elective Conversion. Upon the occurrence of a Contingent Conversion Triggering Event, a number of Non-Voting Common Shares held by the Steiner Persons that are designated in writing by the Steiner Representative (as defined in the Governance Agreement) to the Company (a “Elective Conversion Notice”) shall be converted into an identical number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Voting Common Shares; provided, that the number of Non-Voting Common Shares so converted shall not exceed the number of Non-Voting Common Shares that, if converted, would reasonably be expected to (1) cause the Company to become a CFC (as defined in the Articles of Association) as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company, upon the advice of its legal counsel, or (2) cause the Percentage Stock Ownership (by voting power, with such determination of voting power taking into account any continuing director designation rights of the Steiner Persons pursuant to the Governance Agreement as of such time) of any Steiner Person to exceed 44.9% (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company). The determination contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall be made (A) promptly and in any event within five (5) business days of written request by the Steiner Representative, and (B) after permitting the Steiner Representative and its legal and tax advisors to have a reasonable opportunity to present their views and analysis relevant to such determination, but no Steiner Director shall be entitled to vote on any such determination. Any Non-Voting Common Shares converted pursuant to this Article 11(m)(ii) shall be converted into an identical number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Voting Common Shares as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date the number of such Non-Voting Shares to be so converted are determined pursuant to this Article 11(m)(ii). Unless otherwise determined in an Elective Conversion Notice, any conversion of Non-Voting Common Shares held by the Steiner Persons into Voting Common Shares pursuant to this sub-clause (ii) shall be pro rata among the Steiner Persons based on the aggregate number of Non-Voting Common Shares held by each Steiner Person as of immediately prior to such Conversion Event, except to the extent otherwise required to prevent the Company from becoming a CFC. For purposes of this Article 11(m)(ii), a “Contingent Conversion Triggering Event” shall mean (1) a decrease in the number of directors that the applicable Steiner Persons have the right to designate for appointment or nomination pursuant to the Governance Agreement or a decrease in the number of directors so designated by the applicable Steiner Persons as a result of an irrevocable waiver of such rights under the Governance Agreement, (2) the Transfer of Voting Common Shares by the Co-Investors (as defined in the Investment Agreement but excluding any Co-Investor who is a member of the Board, employee of the Company, a family member of any of the foregoing, a trust for the benefit of any of the foregoing, or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing) or any of its Affiliates on or prior to the one year anniversary of the Second Amendment Date (I) to an Unrelated Person, and (II) that complies with the Transfer Restrictions, or (3) the exercise by a Steiner Person of a warrant to purchase Non-Voting Common Shares (or a warrant for which such Steiner Person has previously agreed to receive Non-Voting Common Shares upon exercise); provided that, with respect to this clause (3), the number of shares designated by the Steiner Representative for conversion shall not exceed the number of Non-Voting Common Shares received upon exercise of such warrant.

 

5


  (iii)

For purposes of this Article 11(m), a “Conversion Event” shall mean the conversion of a Non-Voting Common Share into a Voting Common Share pursuant to Article 11(m)(i) or (ii).

 

  (iv)

Each outstanding share certificate (if any) that, immediately prior to a Conversion Event, represented one or more Non-Voting Common Shares subject to such Conversion Event shall, upon such Conversion Event, be deemed to represent an equal number of Voting Common Shares, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. The Company shall, upon surrender by such holder to the Company of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such holder’s Non-Voting Common Shares (if any), issue and deliver to such holder certificate(s) representing the Voting Common Shares into which such holder’s Non-Voting Common Shares were converted as a result of such Conversion Event (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry form upon the occurrence of such Conversion Event.

 

  (v)

Each Non-Voting Common Share that is converted pursuant to this Article 11(m) shall thereupon be cancelled by the Company and shall not be available for reissuance.

 

  (n)

The Company shall at all times have reserved for issuance out of its authorized but unissued shares the number of Voting Common Shares into which all outstanding Non-Voting Common Shares may be converted.

 

  (o)

Mergers, Etc. Without limiting the generality of Article 11(l) of this Memorandum or any other provisions in this Memorandum or the Articles of Association, in the event of any merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, tender offer or other similar transaction, each Non-Voting Common Share shall have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, the same form of consideration as the holders of the Voting Common Shares, and the same amount per share equal to the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, that each Voting Common Share is entitled to receive as a result of, or in connection with, such transaction, provided that at the election of the holder thereof, in his, her or its sole discretion, any securities issued with respect to the Non-Voting Common Shares shall be non-voting securities under the resulting person’s (as defined in the Articles of Association) organizational documents and the Company shall make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Non-Voting Common Shares then outstanding) and take such actions necessary to ensure that holders of the Non-Voting Common Shares shall retain securities with substantially the same privileges, limitations and relative rights as the Non-Voting Common Shares. Subject to the foregoing, in the event the holders of Voting Common Shares are provided the right to convert or exchange Voting Common Shares for stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then the holders of the Non-Voting Common Shares shall be provided the same right based upon the number of Voting Common Shares such holders would be entitled to receive if such Non-Voting Common Shares were converted into Voting Common Shares immediately prior to such offering. In the event that the Company offers to repurchase Voting Common Shares from its shareholders generally, the Company shall offer to repurchase Non-Voting Common Shares pro rata based upon the number of Voting Common Shares such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares were converted into Voting Common Shares immediately prior to such repurchase. In the event of any pro rata subscription offer, rights offer or similar offer to holders of Voting Common Shares, the Company shall provide the holders of the Non-Voting Common Shares the right to participate based upon the number of Voting Common Shares such holders would be entitled to receive if such shares were converted into Voting Common Shares immediately prior to such offering; provided that at the election of the holder thereof, in his, her or its sole discretion, any shares issued with respect to the Non-Voting Common Shares shall be issued in the form of Non-Voting Common Shares rather than Voting Common Shares.

Whenever the singular or plural number, or the masculine, feminine or neuter gender is used in these Articles of Association, it shall equally, where the context admits, include the others.

 

6.

The “realisable value” in relation to the assets of the Company shall mean such value as the directors may decide upon as the value of the assets, which value in the absence of fraud shall be conclusive unless a question of law is involved.

 

7.

A reference to money in these Articles of Association is, unless otherwise stated, a reference to the currency in which shares in the Company shall be issued according to the provisions of the Memorandum.

REGISTERED SHARES

 

8.

The shares of the Company shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its shares shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Company. Subject to such conditions as the directors may reasonably determine for the issue of Certificates, every shareholder holding registered shares in the Company shall be entitled, upon the request of such shareholder, to a certificate which shall be signed by a director or officer of the Company and under the Seal specifying the share or shares held by him and the signature of the director or officer and the Seal may be stamped thereon; provided, that the Board has not provided for such shares to be uncertificated.

 

9.

All certificates (including global certificates) and book-entry positions evidencing uncertificated shares issued by the Company representing Company Securities shall bear a conspicuous legend substantially in the form as follows:

“THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS PURSUANT TO THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF ONESPAWORLD HOLDINGS LIMITED (THE “COMPANY”), AS SUCH ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION MAY BE AMENDED, RESTATED, OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME (THE “ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION”).

The Company shall have the power to make appropriate notations upon its share transfer records and instruct any transfer agent, registrar, securities intermediary or depository with respect to the requirements of the Transfer Restrictions for any uncertificated Company Securities or Company Securities held in an indirect holding system.

 

3


11.

Any shareholder receiving a share certificate for registered shares shall indemnify and hold the Company and its directors and officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue of the possession thereof. If a share certificate for registered shares be worn out or defaced, the directors may upon surrender thereof for cancellation issue a new one in its stead and if it be lost or destroyed, the directors may upon the loss or destruction being established to their satisfaction and upon such indemnity being given to the Company as it by resolution of directors may determine issue a new one in its stead.

 

12.

If several persons are registered as holders of any shares, any one of such persons may give an effectual receipt for any dividend payable in respect of such shares.

SHARES, AUTHORISED CAPITAL AND CAPITAL

 

13.

Subject to the provisions of these Articles of Association, the Memorandum and to any resolution of shareholders, the unissued shares of the Company shall be at the disposal of the directors who may without prejudice to any rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class or series of shares offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of shares to such persons, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as the Company may by resolution of directors determine.

 

14.

Shares in the Company shall be issued for money, services rendered, personal property, an estate in real property, a promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any combination of the foregoing as shall be determined by a resolution of directors.

 

15.

Shares in the Company may be issued for such amount of consideration as the Company may from time to time by resolution of directors determine, except that in the case of shares with par value, the amount shall not be less than the par value, and in the absence of fraud the decision of the directors as to the value of the consideration received by the Company in respect of the issue is conclusive unless a question of law is involved. The consideration in respect of the shares with par value constitutes capital to the extent of the par value and the excess constitutes surplus.

 

16.

A share issued by the Company upon conversion of, or in exchange for, another share or a debt obligation or other security in the Company, shall be treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company in respect of the other share, debt obligation or security.

 

17.

Treasury shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions (not otherwise inconsistent with these Articles of Association) as the Company may by resolution of directors determine.

 

18.

The Company may issue fractions of a share and a fractional share shall have the same corresponding fractional liabilities, limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights and other attributes of a whole share of the same class or series of shares.

 

19.

Upon the issue by the Company of a share without par value, if an amount is stated in the Memorandum to be authorised capital represented by such shares then each share shall be issued for no less than the appropriate proportion of such amount which shall constitute capital, otherwise the consideration in respect of the share constitutes capital to the extent designated by the directors and the excess constitutes surplus, except that the directors shall designate as capital an amount of the consideration that is at least equal to the amount that the share is entitled to as a preference, if any, in the assets of the Company upon liquidation of the Company.

 

20.

The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own shares but no purchase, redemption or other acquisition shall be made unless the directors determine that immediately after the purchase, redemption or other acquisition the Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and the realisable value of the assets of the Company will not be less than the sum of its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in the books of account.

 

4


21.

A determination by the directors under the preceding Article is not required where shares are purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired:

 

  (a)

pursuant to a right of a shareholder to have his shares redeemed or to have his shares exchanged for money or other property of the Company;

 

  (b)

in exchange for newly issued shares in the Company;

 

  (c)

by virtue of the provisions of Section 81 of the Act; or

 

  (d)

pursuant to a court order.

 

22.

Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or otherwise acquires pursuant to Article 20 may be cancelled or held as treasury shares unless the shares are purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired out of capital pursuant to Section 32 of the Act in which case they shall be cancelled.

 

23.

Where shares in the Company are held by the Company as treasury shares or are held by another company of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than 50 percent of the votes in the election of directors of the other company, the shareholders of the Company shall not be entitled to vote in respect of such shares or to have dividends paid thereon and such shares shall not be treated as outstanding for any purpose except for purposes of determining the capital of the Company.

LIEN ON SHARES

 

24.

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share issued for a promissory note or for any other binding obligation to contribute money or property or any combination thereof to the Company, and the Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share standing registered in the name of a shareholder, whether singly or jointly with any other person or persons, for all the debts and liabilities of such shareholder or his estate to the Company, whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any interest of any person other than such shareholder, and whether the time for the payment or discharge of the same shall have actually arrived or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such shareholder or his estate and any other person, whether a shareholder of the Company or not. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to all dividends payable thereon. The directors may at any time either generally, or in any particular case, waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article.

 

25.

In the absence of express provisions regarding sale in the promissory note or other binding obligation to contribute money or property, the Company may sell, in such manner as it may by resolution of directors determine, any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of twenty one days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of the intention to sell in default of such payment, has been served on the holder for the time being of the share.

 

26.

The net proceeds of the sale by the Company of any shares on which it has a lien shall be applied in or towards payment or discharge of the binding obligation in respect of which the lien exists so far as the same is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the holder of the share immediately before such sale. In order to give effect to any such sale, the Board may authorise an agent to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares and such holder shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall such holder’s title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

27.

Subject to the Transfer Restrictions, all transfers of shares may be effected by transfer in writing in the usual common form, or in such other form as the Board of Directors may accept.

 

5


28.

The instrument of transfer of a share shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and transferee, and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Shareholders in respect thereof.

 

29.

The Company or any transfer agent, on the application of the transferor or transferee of a share in the Company, shall enter in the share register the name of the transferee of the share except that (a) the Board or the transfer agent may decline to register a transfer of shares unless the instrument of transfer is accompanied by the certificate or certificates for the shares, if any, and such other evidence as the Board or the transfer agent may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer and (b) the registration of transfers may be suspended and the share register closed at such times and for such periods as the Board may from time to time determine provided always that such registration shall not be suspended and the share register closed for more than 60 days in any period of 12 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any transfer agent shall not be required to transfer shares that are subject to restrictive legends unless the conditions to transfer have been satisfied.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

30.

The executor or administrator of a deceased shareholder, the guardian of an incompetent shareholder or the trustee of a bankrupt shareholder shall be the only person recognized by the Company as having any title to his or her share but they shall not be entitled to exercise any rights as a shareholder of the Company until they have proceeded as set forth in the following three Articles.

 

31.

The production to the Company of any document which is evidence of probate of the will, or letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation as personal representative of a deceased shareholder or of the appointment of a guardian of an incompetent shareholder or the trustee of a bankrupt shareholder shall be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt shareholder is domiciled outside The Bahamas if the document evidencing the grant of probate or letters of administration, confirmation as personal representative, appointment as guardian or trustee in bankruptcy is issued by a foreign court which had competent jurisdiction in the matter. For the purpose of establishing whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy.

 

32.

Any person becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any shareholder may be registered as a shareholder upon such evidence being produced as may reasonably be required by the directors. An application by any such person to be registered as a shareholder shall for all purposes be deemed to be a transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt shareholder and the directors shall treat it as such.

 

33.

Any person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any shareholder may, instead of being registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request shall likewise be treated as if it were a transfer.

 

34.

What amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be determined by the court having regard to all the relevant evidence and the circumstances of the case.

REDUCTION OR INCREASE IN AUTHORISED CAPITAL

 

35.

The Company may by resolution of directors amend the Memorandum to increase or reduce its authorised capital and in connection therewith the Company may in respect of any unissued shares, increase or reduce the number of such shares, increase or reduce the par value of any such shares or effect any combination of the foregoing.

 

36.

The Company may amend the Memorandum to

 

  (a)

divide the shares, including issued shares, of a class or series into a larger number of shares of the same class or series; or

 

6


  (b)

combine the shares, including issued shares, of a class or series into a smaller number of shares of the same class or series;

provided, however, that where shares are divided or combined under (a) or (b) of this Article, the aggregate par value of the new shares must be equal to the aggregate par value of the original shares.

 

37.

The capital may by a resolution of directors be increased by transferring an amount out of the surplus of the Company to capital.

 

38.

Subject to the provisions of the two (2) next succeeding Articles, the capital may by resolution of directors be reduced by:

 

  (a)

returning to shareholders any amount received by the Company upon the issue of any of its shares, the amount being surplus to the requirements of the Company,

 

  (b)

cancelling any capital that is lost or not represented by assets having a realisable value or

 

  (c)

transferring capital to surplus for the purpose of purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring shares that the directors have resolved to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire.

 

39.

No reduction of capital shall be effected that reduces the capital to an amount that immediately after the reduction is less than the aggregate par value of all outstanding shares with par value and all shares with par value held by the Company as treasury shares and the aggregate of the amounts designated as capital of all outstanding shares without par value and all shares without par value held by the Company as treasury shares that are entitled to a preference, if any, in the assets of the Company upon liquidation of the Company.

 

40.

No reduction of capital shall be effected unless the directors determine that immediately after the reduction the Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and that the realisable value of the assets of the Company will not be less than its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in the books of the Company, and its remaining issued and outstanding share capital.

MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

41.

Annual meetings of the shareholders shall be held during each fiscal year of the Company. The date, time and place of annual meetings of shareholders shall be as determined by resolution of directors.

 

42.

The directors of the Company may convene special meetings of the shareholders of the Company at such times and in such manner and places within or outside The Bahamas, or by means of remote communication, as the directors consider necessary or desirable.

 

43.

Upon the written request of shareholders holding not less than a majority of the outstanding Voting Common Shares in the Company, the directors shall convene a meeting of shareholders. If a special meeting is requested by such shareholders, a written request, specifying the business proposed to be transacted, shall be delivered personally or sent by first class mail, by express delivery or electronic transmission, to the Secretary of the Company. Upon receipt of such a request, the Secretary shall cause notice of such meeting to be given, within 45 days after the date the request was delivered to the Secretary, to the shareholders entitled to vote on such proposal, in accordance with the provisions of these Articles of Association. Except as provided below, if the notice is not given by the Secretary within 45 days after the date the request was delivered to the Secretary, then the person or persons requesting the meeting may specify the time and place of the meeting and give notice thereof; provided, however, that at least 10 days’ notice of such meeting is required to be given to the shareholders.

 

44.

In order that the Company may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or consent to any matter by unanimous written consent, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the directors may fix, but shall not be required to so fix, a record date; provided, however, that such record date shall not precede the date upon which the action of the directors fixing such record date is taken.

 

 

7


45.

Notice of the place (if any), date, hour, the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting), and means of remote communication, if any, of every meeting of shareholders shall be given by the Company not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting (unless a different time is specified by the Act) to every shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any shareholder who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting, except when the shareholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any shareholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given. Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the shareholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully convened.

 

46.

A meeting of shareholders may be held in contravention of the requirement to give notice if shareholders holding not less than ninety (90) percent of;

 

  (a)

the total number of shares of the shareholders entitled to vote on all matters to be considered at the meeting, or

 

  (b)

the votes of each class or series of shares where shareholders are entitled to vote thereon as a class or series together with an absolute majority of the remaining votes,

have waived notice of the meeting; and for this purpose presence at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver.

 

47.

The inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a shareholder, or the fact that a shareholder has not received notice, shall not invalidate the meeting.

 

48.

If a quorum pursuant to Article 55 is present at any meeting, (a) in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders, and (b) directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of the applicable directors, unless a different vote is required by these Articles of Association or the Memorandum or under applicable law, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Shareholders may act only at meetings duly called and shareholders may not act by written consent or otherwise outside of such meeting. Only those matters set forth in the notice of a special meeting may be considered or acted upon at that meeting, unless otherwise required by law.

 

49.

A meeting of shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy shareholders representing not less than fifty (50) percent of the votes of the shares or class or series of shares entitled to vote on resolutions of shareholders to be considered at the meeting. If a quorum be present, notwithstanding the fact that such quorum may be represented by only one person then such person may resolve any matter and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person be a proxy by the proxy form or a copy thereof shall constitute a valid resolution of shareholders.

For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and be present at the meeting. To be timely for the first annual meeting of shareholders after the Company’s initial public offering of its shares, a shareholder’s notice must be received at the corporate office of the Company not later than the later of (a) the 75th day prior to the scheduled date of the annual meeting and (b) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the Company. For all subsequent annual meetings, a shareholder’s notice shall be timely if received by the Company at its corporate office not less than 75 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting (the “Anniversary Date”); provided, however, that in the event the annual meeting is scheduled to be held on a date more than 30 days before the Anniversary Date or more than 60 days after the Anniversary Date, a notice shall be timely if received by the Company at its corporate office not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 75th day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting or (b) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the Company.

10


  shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, and the reasons for conducting such business at such annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of the shareholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the shareholder, (d) the names of any other beneficial owners of such shares, (e) any material interest of the shareholder in such business and (f) the names and addresses of other shareholders known by the shareholder proposing such business to support such proposal and the class and numbers of shares beneficially owned by such shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in these Articles of Association to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article 66. If the directors or a designated committee thereof determines that any shareholder proposal was not made in a timely fashion in accordance with the procedures of this Article 66 or that the information provided in a shareholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Article 66 in any material respect (a “Non-Compliance Determination”), such proposal shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting in question. If neither the directors nor such committee makes a determination as to the validity of any shareholder proposal in the manner set forth above, the presiding officer of an annual meeting shall determine whether the shareholder proposal was made in accordance with the terms of this Article 66. If such presiding officer makes a Non-Compliance Determination with respect to such proposal, such proposal shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting in question. If the directors, a designated committee thereof or the presiding officer determines that a shareholder proposal was made in accordance with the requirements of this Article 66, the presiding officer shall so declare at the annual meeting and ballots shall be provided for use at the meeting with respect to such proposal.

No decrease in the number of directors constituting the directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

 

69.

Each director shall hold office for the term, if any, fixed by resolution of shareholders or by resolution of directors, as the case may be, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal, or in the case of a company upon the making of an order for the winding up or dissolution of the company or upon the removal of a defunct company by the Registrar otherwise than pursuant to a winding up order.

77.

The directors may, by a resolution of directors, appoint any person, including a person who is a director, to be an officer or agent of the Company and the directors may remove any such person so appointed.

79.

Any director which is a body corporate may appoint in writing any person its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the Board of Directors and the person so appointed shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of such body corporate as the body corporate could exercise if it were an individual director.

 

80.

The continuing directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, save that if their number is reduced to their knowledge below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles of Association as the necessary quorum for a meeting of directors, the continuing directors or director may act only for the purpose of appointing directors to fill any vacancy that has arisen or summoning a meeting of shareholders.

84.

A director shall be given not less than forty-eight (48) hours’ notice of meetings of directors, but a meeting of directors held without forty-eight (48) hours’ notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend, waive notice of the meeting and for this purpose, the presence of a director at a meeting shall constitute waiver on his part.

 

12


85.

A meeting of directors is duly constituted for all purposes if there are present not less than one half of the total number of directors, unless there are only two (2) directors in which case the quorum shall be two (2). Where any director is participating in a meeting in accordance with the provisions of Article 83 he or she shall be counted for the purpose of determining whether the meeting is duly constituted.

 

86.

If the Company shall have only one (1) director the provisions herein contained for meetings of the directors shall not apply but such sole director shall have full power to represent and act for the Company. In all matters as are not by the Act or the Memorandum or these Articles of Association required to be exercised by the shareholders of the Company, in lieu of minutes of a meeting such sole director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a resolution of directors. Such a note or memorandum shall constitute sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

 

87.

At every meeting of the directors the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors is not present at the meeting, the directors present shall choose some one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

Any number of offices may be held by the same person.

 

13


95.

The officers shall perform such duties as shall be prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by resolution of directors or resolution of shareholders, but in the absence of any specific allocation of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board of Directors to preside at meetings of directors and shareholders and to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, and the other officers to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the directors or the Chairman of the Board.

 

96.

The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by resolution of directors.

 

97.

The officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are duly elected, but any officer elected or appointed by the directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of directors.

CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

 

98.

No contract or other transaction between the Company and one or more interested directors shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest, because such director or directors are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorises, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction, or because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:

 

  (a)

The fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which authorises, approves or ratifies the contract or transactions by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the votes or consents of such interested directors;

 

  (b)

the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and they authorise, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS; INDEMNIFICATION

 

100.

No person who may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Covered Person”) shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or, to the extent requested to be performed by the Company, their functions as an officer director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or willful misconduct by such person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or willful misconduct under the Indemnification Provisions (as defined below) unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect. Each shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right of action he or she might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any director or officer of the Company on account of any action taken by such director or officer, or the failure of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company; provided that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any actual fraud or willful misconduct which may attach to such director or officer.

 

101.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (as now or, to the extent providing greater benefit to any Covered Person, as hereafter in effect) any person (other than any Auditor) who was or is a party or witness to (or is threatened to be made a party or witness to) any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) directly or indirectly by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or, while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, is or was serving (at the request of the Company) any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in any capacity, against all liabilities, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement

 

14


  actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in (or not opposed to) the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, in no event shall any person be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless or advanced any amounts hereunder in respect of any liability, damage, cost, expense, judgment, fine or amount paid in settlement (if any) that such person may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or intentional misconduct. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding this Article 101 or the provisions of Article 102 hereof, except as otherwise provided in Article 106 hereof, the Company shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorised in the specific case by the directors.

 

102.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (as now or, to the extent providing greater benefit to any Covered Person, as hereafter in effect) any person (other than any Auditor) who was or is a party or witness to (or is threatened to be made a party or witness to) any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or, while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, is or was serving (at the request of the Company) another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in any capacity against all liabilities, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defence or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such other court shall deem proper.

 

103.

Any indemnification under Articles 101 or 102 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorised in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Articles 101 or 102. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director, officer, employee or agent at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the shareholders.

 

104.

Expenses incurred by any Covered Person, officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorised in these Articles of Association. Any such expenses incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. Without duplication of the foregoing, to the extent that a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Company shall be successful on the merits or otherwise in defence of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Articles 101 or 102, or in defence of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that any such indemnified person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to or advancements of such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the indemnified person.

 

15


105.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the Indemnification Provisions shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may at any time be entitled under any other Article, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The provisions of the Indemnification Provisions shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of (or advancement of expenses to) any person who is not specified in Article 101 or 102 but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnity under the provisions of applicable law or otherwise.

 

106.

If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of a proceeding) or advancement of expenses under the Indemnification Provisions is not paid in full within 90 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Company, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action, the Company shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

 

107.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, an officer or a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in these Articles of Association.

 

108.

Neither the repeal nor modification of any Article of these Articles of Association under the heading Limitation of Liability of Directors; Indemnification (the “Indemnification Provisions”), nor the adoption of any provision in these Articles of Association or in the Memorandum inconsistent with any of the Indemnification Provisions, shall adversely affect any right or protection afforded to any person described in Article 100 by any of the Indemnification Provisions prior to such repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

 

109.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the Indemnification Provisions shall, unless otherwise provided when authorised or ratified, be contract rights and continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in any capacity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

 

110.

The directors may authorise the Company to enter into a contract with any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the directors so determine, greater than those provided in the Indemnification Provisions.

 

111.

For the purposes of the Indemnification Provisions, (a) references to (i) the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the Indemnification Provisions with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein the Seal when affixed to any written instrument shall be witnessed and attested to by the signature of a director or an officer or any other person so authorised from time to time by resolution of directors. Such authorization may be before or after the Seal is affixed, may be general or specific and may refer to any number of sealings. The directors may provide for a stamp of the Seal and of the signature of any director, officer or authorised person which may be reproduced by printing or other means on any instrument and it shall have the same force and validity as if the Seal had been affixed to such instrument and the same had been signed as hereinbefore described.

DIVIDENDS

The Company may by a resolution of directors declare and pay dividends in money, shares, or other property. In the event that dividends are paid in specie the directors shall have responsibility for establishing and recording in the resolution of directors authorizing the dividends, a fair and proper value for the assets to be so distributed.

 

114.

The directors may from time to time pay to the shareholders such interim dividends as appear to the directors to be justified by the profits of the Company.

 

115.

The directors may, before declaring any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sum as they think proper as a reserve fund, and may invest the sum so set apart as a reserve fund upon such securities as they may select.

 

116.

No dividend shall be declared and paid unless the directors determine that immediately after the payment of the dividend the Company will be able to satisfy its liabilities as they become due in the ordinary course of its business and the realisable value of the assets of the Company will not be less than the sum of its total liabilities, other than deferred taxes, as shown in its books of account, and its issued and outstanding share capital.

 

117.

Notice of any dividend that may have been declared shall be given to each shareholder in manner hereinafter mentioned and all dividends unclaimed for three (3) years after having been declared may be forfeited by resolution of directors for the benefit of the Company.

 

118.

No dividend shall bear interest as against the Company and no dividend shall be paid on treasury shares or shares held by another company of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than fifty (50) percent of the vote in electing directors.

 

119.

A share issued as a dividend by the Company shall be treated for all purposes as having been issued for money equal to the surplus that is transferred to capital upon the issue of the share.

 

120.

In the case of a dividend of authorised but unissued shares with par value, an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares shall be transferred from surplus to capital at the time of the distribution.

 

17


121.

In the case of a dividend of authorised but unissued shares without par value, the amount designated by the directors shall be transferred from surplus to capital at the time of the distribution, except that the directors shall designate as capital an amount that is at least equal to the amount that the shares are entitled to as a preference, if any, in the assets of the Company upon liquidation of the Company.

 

122.

A division of the issued and outstanding shares of a class or series of shares into a larger number of shares of the same class or series having a proportionately smaller par value shall not constitute a dividend of shares.

 

123.

The record date for shareholders entitled to receive dividends shall be established in accordance with Article 41.

Purpose. It is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that certain restrictions on the Transfer of Company Securities (each defined below) be established, as more fully set forth in these Articles of Association under the heading Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership (the “Transfer Restrictions”), as any such Transfer may threaten the preservation of certain tax attributes of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Transfer Limitations.

 

  (a)

Except as otherwise provided in Article 126(b) or Article 127, no Person shall be permitted to make a Transfer, whether in a single transaction (with any transactions occurring on the same day being treated as a single transaction) or series of related transactions, and any such purported Transfer will be void ab initio, (i) if and to the extent that, after giving effect to such purported Transfer, the purported transferee (or any other Person by reason of the purported transferee’s Acquisition) would become a Prohibited Transferee; or (ii) if the purported transferee is a Prohibited Transferee or the purported Transfer would increase the Percentage Stock Ownership of any Prohibited Transferee (any such purported Transfer described in this Article 126(a), a “Prohibited Transfer”).

 

  (b)

The restrictions set forth in Article 126(a) shall not apply to a proposed Transfer, and the proposed Transfer shall not be treated as a Prohibited Transfer hereunder, if the transferor or the transferee obtains approval of the proposed Transfer by the Committee (at a meeting of the Committee or by written consent of the Committee). As a condition to granting its approval pursuant to this Article 126(b), the Committee may, as determined in its sole discretion, require and/or obtain (at the expense of the transferor and/or transferee) such documentation, information and action, if any, as it determines, including, without limitation, representations and warranties from the transferor and/or transferee, such opinions of counsel to be rendered by counsel selected by (or acceptable to) the Committee, and such other advice, in each case as to such matters as the Committee determines in its sole discretion is appropriate. Any such approval, once granted, shall be irrevocable, provided that such information, documentation and representations and warranties upon which such approval was based remain true, accurate and complete prior to the applicable Transfer.

 

19


  (c)

The restrictions set forth in Article 126(a) shall not preclude the settlement of any transaction in the Company Securities through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (or any successor or similar settlement service), it being understood, however, that any such settlement shall not negate or otherwise affect the treatment of a Transfer as a Prohibited Transfer hereunder.

 

127.

Exceptions to Transfer Limitations.

 

  (a)

The Transfer of Company Securities to any Steiner Person pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or the Investment Agreement (or, in each case, any related agreement) shall not be treated as a Prohibited Transfer and such Steiner Person(s) shall not be considered to be a Prohibited Transferee for purposes of such Transfer;

 

  (b)

Any Transfer of Company Securities by or to a Steiner Person that, based on the facts and information available to the Company, (i) would not result in an increase in the total combined Percentage Stock Ownership (by vote) of Prohibited Transferees that are United States Persons, (ii) would not reasonably be expected to cause the Company to become a CFC as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company, upon the advice of its legal counsel, and (iii) would not cause the Percentage Stock Ownership (by voting power, with such determination of voting power taking into account any continuing director designation rights of the Steiner Persons pursuant to the Governance Agreement as of such time) of any Steiner Person to exceed 44.9% of the total voting power (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company) shall not be treated as a Prohibited Transfer, and neither the transferor nor the transferee thereof shall be considered a Prohibited Transferee for purposes of any such Transfer. In making the determination described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Steiner Representative and its legal and tax advisors shall have a reasonable opportunity to present their views and analysis relevant to such determination, but no Steiner Director shall be entitled to vote on any such determination. Any determination pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the second preceding sentence shall be made by the Company within five (5) business days of written request by the Steiner Representative.

 

  (c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Memorandum or these Articles of Association, in the event that a Transfer would not be described by the first sentence of Article 127(b) as a result of the conversion of Non-Voting Common Shares to Voting Common Shares pursuant to Article 11(m)(i)(A) of the Memorandum but would satisfy the requirement in clause (ii) of Article 127(b) taking into account Percentage Stock Ownership (by value), then the number of Non-Voting Common Shares that so convert upon Transfer thereof shall be automatically decreased to the extent required for such Transfer to be described by the first sentence of Article 127(b) (with any such determination, for the avoidance of doubt, being made in accordance the second and third sentences of Article 127(b)).

 

  (d)

Any Transfer of Company Securities by any Steiner Person (i) to an underwriter or similar financial institution not purchasing such Common Shares for investment purposes or (ii) through a brokered transaction on a securities exchange in which the identity of the transferee is not known to the transferring Steiner Person(s), shall not be treated as a Prohibited Transfer and the applicable transferee shall not be considered to be a Prohibited Transferee for purposes of such Transfer.

 

128.

Treatment of Excess Securities.

 

  (a)

 

  (i)

No employee or agent of the Company shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer (the “Purported Transferee”) shall not be recognized as a shareholder of the Company for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the

 

20


Company Securities that are the subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the “Excess Securities”). The Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of shareholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities, to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof and to effect any Transfer thereof. Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is in accordance with this Article 128 and is not a Prohibited Transfer, such Company Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities. For this purpose, any Transfer of Excess Securities not in accordance with the provisions of this Article 128 shall also be a Prohibited Transfer.

 

  (ii)

The Company may require, including, but not limited to, as a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Company Securities or the payment of any dividend or distribution on any Company Securities, that the proposed transferee or payee furnish to the Company all information reasonably requested by the Company with respect to all the direct or indirect ownership interests in such Company Securities. The Company may make such arrangements or issue such instructions to its stock transfer agent as may be determined by the Committee to be necessary or advisable to implement this Article 128, including, without limitation, authorizing such transfer agent to require an affidavit from a proposed transferee or payee regarding such Person’s direct, indirect, and constructive ownership of stock and other evidence that a Transfer will not be prohibited by the Transfer Restrictions as a condition to registering any Transfer or paying any dividend or distribution.

 

  (b)

 

  (i)

If a Prohibited Transfer has occurred: (1) the Prohibited Transfer and, if applicable, the registration of such Prohibited Transfer, shall be void ab initio and have no legal effect; and (2) upon written demand by the Company, the Purported Transferee (if identified by the Company or otherwise) shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee’s possession or control, together with any dividends or other distributions that were received by the Purported Transferee from the Company with respect to the Excess Securities (the “Prohibited Distributions”), to an agent designated and controlled by the Committee (the “Agent”).

 

  (ii)

If a Prohibited Transfer has occurred, the Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers the Excess Securities transferred to it pursuant to this Article 128(b)(ii) in one or more arm’s-length transactions (including over a national securities exchange on which the Company Securities may be traded, if possible); provided, however, that the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agent’s sole discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Company Securities or otherwise would adversely affect the value of the Company Securities; provided further that any such sale by the Agent must not constitute a Prohibited Transfer. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Company’s demand to surrender the Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and the proceeds of such sale (in the form received, i.e., whether in cash or other property), and the Agent shall thereupon identify and sell any non-cash consideration to a buyer or buyers in one or more arm’s-length transactions (including over a national securities exchange, if possible), except to the extent the Company grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sale proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Article 128(c) if the Agent, rather than the Purported Transferee, had resold the Excess Securities.

 

21


  (c)

Except for Prohibited Distributions that are to be returned to the Purported Transferor in accordance with Article 128(b)(ii), the Agent shall apply any proceeds or any other amounts received by it by and in accordance with this Article 128 as follows:

 

  (i)

first, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duties hereunder;

 

  (ii)

second, any remaining amounts shall be paid to the Purported Transferee, up to the amount paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or the fair market value at the time of the Prohibited Transfer, in the event the purported Transfer of the Excess Securities was, in whole or in part, a gift, inheritance or similar Transfer); and

 

  (iii)

third, any remaining amounts, subject to the limitations imposed by the following proviso, shall be paid to one or more organizations qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code selected by the Committee; provided, however, that if the Excess Securities (including any Excess Securities arising from a previous Prohibited Transfer not sold by the Agent in a prior sale or sales) represent a Percentage Stock Ownership interest in the Company greater than the Ownership Cap, then such remaining amounts shall be paid to two or more unrelated organizations qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code selected by the Committee, such that no organization qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code shall possess Percentage Stock Ownership in the Company in excess of the Ownership Cap.

 

  (iv)

The recourse of any Purported Transferee in respect of any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (ii) above. Except to the extent used to cover the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Article 128 inure to the benefit of the Company.

 

  (d)

If the Purported Transferee or the Purported Transferor fails to surrender the Excess Securities (as applicable) or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Company makes a demand pursuant to Article 128(b), then the Company shall, in such manner and at such time, as determined by the Committee, use its best efforts to enforce the provisions hereof, which may include the institution of legal proceedings to compel the surrender. Nothing in this Article 128(d) shall (i) be deemed inconsistent with any Prohibited Transfer of the Excess Securities provided in the Transfer Restrictions being void ab initio or (ii) preclude the Company in its discretion from immediately bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand.

 

  (e)

In the event of any Prohibited Transfer that does not involve a transfer of Company Securities within the meaning of the Act, the application of Article 128(b)-(d) shall be modified as described in this Article 128(e). In such case, no such Purported Transferee shall be required to dispose of any interest that is not a Company Security, but such Purported Transferee and/or any Person whose ownership of Company Securities is attributed to such Purported Transferee (such Purported Transferee or other Person, a “Remedial Holder”) shall be deemed to have disposed of and shall be required to dispose of sufficient Company Securities (which Company Securities shall be disposed of in the inverse order in which they were acquired) to cause such Purported Transferee, following such disposition, not to be in violation of the Transfer Restrictions. Such disposition shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the Transfer giving rise to the application of this provision, and such number of Company Securities that are deemed to be disposed of shall be considered Excess Securities and shall be disposed of through the Agent as provided in Article 128(b)-(d), except that the maximum aggregate amount payable to a Remedial Holder in connection with such sale shall be the fair market value of such Excess Securities at the time of the Prohibited Transfer. A Remedial Holder shall not be entitled, with respect to such Excess Securities, to any rights of shareholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof, if any, following the time of the Prohibited Transfer. All expenses

 

22


incurred by the Agent in disposing of such Excess Securities shall be paid out of any amounts due to such Remedial Holder. The purpose of this Article 128(e) is to extend the restrictions in Article 128(b)-(d) to situations in which there is a Prohibited Transfer without a direct Transfer of Company Securities, and this Article 128(e), along with the other provisions of the Transfer Restrictions, shall be interpreted to produce the same results, with differences as the context requires, as a direct Transfer of Company Securities.

 

129.

Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any shareholder subject to the provisions of the Transfer Restrictions who knowingly violates the provisions of the Transfer Restrictions shall be liable to the Company for, and shall indemnify and hold the Company and its subsidiaries harmless against, any and all damages suffered by the Company or its subsidiaries as a result of such violation, including, but not limited to, United States federal, state or local taxes, together with any interest, penalties and additions to tax, imposed on the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a result of the Company or any of its subsidiaries being treated as a CFC and attorneys’, accountants’ and auditors’ fees incurred in connection with such violation.

 

130.

Compliance.

 

  (a)

The Committee shall have the power to, in good faith, decide all matters necessary for determining compliance with the Transfer Restrictions, including, without limitation, determining (A) the identification of Prohibited Transferees, (B) whether a Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, (C) whether to exempt a Transfer, (D) the Percentage Stock Ownership of any Prohibited Transferee or other Person, (E) whether an instrument constitutes a Company Security, (F) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee or Purported Transferor pursuant to the Transfer Restrictions, (G) to interpret any provision of the Transfer Restrictions, and (H) any other matter that the Committee determines to be relevant. The good faith determination of the Committee, upon the advice of outside counsel, on such matters shall be conclusive and binding on all persons and entities for the purposes of the Transfer Restrictions.

 

  (b)

Without affecting or limiting any of the rights of SLL under the Business Combination Agreement, nothing contained in the Transfer Restrictions shall limit the authority of the Committee to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems reasonably necessary or advisable to assist the Company and its shareholders in preventing the Company or any of its subsidiaries from being treated as a CFC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the rights of SLL under the Business Combination Agreement, in the event of a change in law making one or more of the following actions reasonably necessary or desirable, the Committee may, by adopting a written resolution, (A) modify the ownership interest percentage in the Company or the Persons covered by the Transfer Restrictions, (B) modify the definitions of any terms set forth in the Transfer Restrictions or (C) modify the terms of the Transfer Restrictions as appropriate, in each case, in order to prevent the Company or any of its subsidiaries from being treated as a CFC, as a result of any changes in applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise; provided, however, that the Committee shall not cause there to be such modification unless it determines, by adopting a written resolution, that such action is reasonably necessary or advisable to prevent the Company or any of its subsidiaries from being treated as a CFC or that the continuation of these restrictions is no longer reasonably necessary to prevent the Company or any of its subsidiaries from being treated as a CFC.

 

  (c)

In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of the Transfer Restrictions, including any definition used herein, the Committee shall have the power to, determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event the Transfer Restrictions require an action by the Committee but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Committee shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of the Transfer Restrictions. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations that are done or made by the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on the Company, the Agent, and all other parties for all other purposes of the Transfer Restrictions.

 

23


131.

Severability. If any provision or provisions of the Transfer Restrictions shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstances for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of the Transfer Restrictions (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of the Transfer Restrictions containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

132.

The restrictions on transfer and ownership imposed by the Transfer Restrictions will expire on the close of business on the date the Committee publicly announces that it has determined that such restrictions are no longer necessary or desirable to prevent the Company or any of its subsidiaries from being treated as a CFC.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

 

133.

In recognition and anticipation of the facts that: (a) directors, managers, officers, shareholders, partners, managing members, employees and/or agents of the Steiner Group (each of the foregoing, a “Steiner Group Related Person”) may serve as directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries); and (b) the Steiner Group engages, and shall continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of Articles 133 through 137 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve the shareholders and the Steiner Group Related Persons, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its officers, directors and shareholders in connection therewith.

 

134.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Steiner Group and the Steiner Group Related Persons shall have no duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest, duty or expectancy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, or being presented with, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for either the Steiner Group or any Steiner Group Related Person, on the one hand, and the Company and its subsidiaries, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including the Statute), the Steiner Group and the Steiner Group Related Persons shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and shall not be liable to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective equityholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty (of whatever nature) as a director, officer, employee, equityholder or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of the fact that such party directly or indirectly pursues, exploits or acquires such corporate opportunity for the Steiner Group, itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person (including any Steiner Group member or any Steiner Group Related Person), or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

 

135.

Except as provided elsewhere in these Articles of Association, the Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the Steiner Group, about which a director and/or officer of the Company who is also a Steiner Group Related Person acquires knowledge.

 

136.

To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in these Articles of Association to be a breach of duty to the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their equityholders, the Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company or any of its subsidiaries may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of these Articles of Association apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

WHEREAS, the Company, Steiner Leisure and each other Investor party thereto entered into that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2020 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Investment Agreement”) whereby, among other things, Steiner Leisure and such other Investors will acquire or will otherwise be issued, as applicable, the Acquired Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the parties hereto are required to enter into this Agreement at the Closing;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth certain covenants and agreements with respect to the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) and certain other governance matters with respect to the Company, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire for this Agreement to supersede the Prior Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Steiner Directors.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from and after the Closing, the Company will take all necessary and desirable actions within its control (including calling meetings of the Company Board and the shareholders and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies), such that:


(i) from and after the Closing and for so long as the SLL Investor Holders, in the aggregate, beneficially own at least 15.00% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares, the Majority SLL Investor Holders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate one individual to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class B director of the Company Board and one individual to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class C director of the Company Board, or if the Company Board does not contain classes, two (2) individuals to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as directors of the Company Board; and

(ii) from and after the time at which the ownership threshold set forth in clause (i) of this Section 1(a) is no longer satisfied and for so long as the SLL Investor Holders, in the aggregate, beneficially own at least 5.00% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares, the Majority SLL Investor Holders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate one individual to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, as a Class B director or Class C director of the Company Board, or if the Company Board does not contain classes, as directors of the Company Board.

If the ownership threshold(s) set forth in clauses (i) and/or (ii) of this Section 1(a) is or are, as applicable, no longer satisfied, then the Steiner Representative shall, and shall cause each other SLL Investor Holder to, take all actions necessary and desirable within its control to cause the requisite number of Steiner Directors to, as promptly as practical thereafter (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), deliver a resignation letter to the Nominating Committee for purposes of this paragraph, determined based on the number of directors that would need to resign in order for the number of Steiner Directors to match the number of directors that the Majority SLL Investor Holders then have the right to designate pursuant to this Section 1(a); provided that if the ownership threshold set forth in clause (i) of this Section 1(a) is no longer satisfied prior to the end of the Non-Continuing Class C Director Term, then the Non-Continuing Class C Steiner Director shall (if then-serving as a director) be one of the Steiner Directors that submits his or her resignation to the Nominating Committee and, for the avoidance of doubt, one of the Specified Steiner Directors shall remain on the Company Board. The Majority SLL Investor Holders shall, in their sole discretion, determine which Steiner Directors will deliver his or her resignation as required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and any such resignation delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence must be either accepted or rejected by the Nominating Committee within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof (it being understood and agreed that (A) if the Nominating Committee does not accept such resignation within such ten (10) Business Day period, then, unless such resignation specifically states that it supersedes this proviso, the Nominating Committee shall be deemed to have rejected such resignation and (B) the Nominating Committee may accept such resignation, effective as of a later specified date or event, unless such resignation specifically states that it supersedes this proviso, is not conditioned on acceptance by the Nominating Committee, and will be effective immediately). For illustrative purposes only, if the SLL Investor Holders, in the aggregate, beneficially own 16% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date that is nine (9) months after the date hereof and, immediately after giving effect to a transfer of Common Shares as of such date, would beneficially own 6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, then the Steiner Representative and the other SLL Investor Holders shall cause one (1) Specified Steiner Director and the Non-Continuing Class C Steiner Director to deliver a resignation letter as provided in this paragraph.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Investment Agreement or the Governing Documents of Company, subject to Section 1(d), neither the Company Board nor any other Person (other than the Majority SLL Investor Holders pursuant to this Section 1(b)) may appoint, elect or designate any Person to fill any such director position described in the preceding sentence.

(c) If a vacancy on the Company Board occurs because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation, or removal of the Non-Continuing Class C Steiner Director by the Majority SLL Investor Holders prior to the end of the Non-Continuing Class C Director Term or the Non-Continuing Class C Steiner Director ceases to be on the Company Board for any other reason prior to the earlier of (i) the end of the Non-Continuing Class C Director Term and (ii) the time at which the ownership threshold set forth in Section 1(a)(i) is no longer satisfied, then the Majority SLL Investor Holders shall be entitled to designate an individual to fill such director position for the remainder of the Non-Continuing Class C Director Term by giving written notice to the Company, and the Company shall, within ten (10) days of such designation, take all necessary and desirable actions so that such director position is filled with such individual designated in writing pursuant to this Section 1(c) within such ten (10) day period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Investment Agreement or the Governing Documents of Company, subject to Section 1(d), neither the Company Board nor any other Person (other than the Majority SLL Investor Holders pursuant to this Section 1(c)) may appoint, elect or designate any Person to fill any such director position described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company Board (and/or the Nominating Committee) shall determine in its sole discretion whether or not to nominate the individual (if any) then serving as the Non-Continuing Class C Steiner Director for re-election at the 2022 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall not limit or affect the Majority SLL Investor Holders’ rights to designate such individual to serve as a Specified Steiner Director.

(d) If an individual designated by the Majority SLL Investor Holders is not appointed, nominated or elected pursuant to Section 1(a) through (c) or this Section 1(d) because of such individual’s death, disability, disqualification or withdrawal as a designee or nominee or for any other reason (other than as a result of the Majority SLL Investor

Holders ceasing to be entitled to designate such individual pursuant to the other applicable provisions of Section 1), then the Majority SLL Investor Holders shall be entitled to designate a replacement to fill such director position by giving written notice to the Company, and the Company will, within ten (10) days of such designation, take all necessary and desirable actions so that such director position is filled with such person designated in writing pursuant to this Section 1(d) within such ten (10) day period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Investment Agreement or the Governing Documents of the Company, neither the Company Board nor any other Person (other than the Majority SLL Investor Holders pursuant to this Section 1(d)) may appoint, elect or designate any Person to fill any such director position described in the preceding sentence.

(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the request of any Steiner Director, the Company shall enter into an indemnification agreement with such Steiner Director, in the form entered into with the other members of the Company Board or, if not entered into by other members of the Company Board, a customary form. The Company shall pay the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Steiner Director related to his or her service to the Company, including attending meetings of the Company Board or any committee or sub-committee thereof or events attended on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the Company’s request.

(f) From and after the Closing and for so long as the SLL Investor Holders, in the aggregate, beneficially own at least 15.00% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares, the Company will, promptly upon (and in any event within five (5) Business Days (or within ten Business Days if any change requested by the Majority SLL Investor Holders would require any change to the composition of such committee other than the replacement of one Steiner Director with another Steiner Director) of) the written request of the Majority SLL Investor Holders, take all necessary and desirable actions within its control, so that the composition of each committee of the Company Board (other than any special committee with responsibility for a matter with respect to which any Steiner Person would have a conflict of interest or would not be disinterested) is comprised of a number of Steiner Directors in proportion to the number of Steiner Directors then serving on the Company Board as compared to the aggregate number of directors then serving on the Company Board (rounded up to the nearest whole number of directors, unless such rounding would result in a majority of any committee being comprised of Steiner Directors), with the Steiner Directors serving on each such committee at any time being determined in the sole discretion of the Majority SLL Investor Holders as provided in any such written request, unless the committee membership of such Steiner Director(s) would (together with any combination of non-Steiner Directors) violate the Listing Rules, the rules or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or applicable law based on a good faith determination of the Company Board (after consultation with applicable outside legal counsel). Without limiting the rights of the Majority SLL Investor Holders pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, from and after the Closing and for so long as the SLL Investor Holders, in the aggregate, beneficially own at least 15.00% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares, if a committee of the Company Board (other than any special committee with responsibility for a matter with respect to which any Steiner Person would have a conflict of interest or would not be disinterested)

The Company or the committee of the Board on which such Steiner Director is a Steiner Committee Observer shall simultaneously provide (or cause to be provided) to such Steiner Committee Observer copies of all notices, consents, minutes and other materials that are provided to the members of such committee of the Company Board. A Steiner Committee Observer may be removed and/or, subject to the ownership thresholds required to appoint a Steiner Committee Observer, replaced at any time by the Majority SLL Investor Holders upon written notice to the Company Board of the same, and if after the appointment of a Steiner Committee Observer, a Steiner Director becomes a member of a committee of the Board, then such Steiner Committee Member shall no longer be entitled to serve as a Steiner Committee Observer for so long as a Steiner Director is a member of such committee.

(g) For so long as any Steiner Director serves as a director of the Company, the Company shall not amend, alter or repeal any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any Steiner Director as and to the extent consistent with applicable law, including but not limited to under the Governing Documents of the Company (whether such right is contained in the Governing Documents of the Company or another document) (except to the extent such amendment or alteration permits the Company to provide broader indemnification or exculpation rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto).

(h) Subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, each Steiner Director may, but is not required to, qualify as “independent” pursuant to the Listing Rules.

(i) Each Steiner Director who is an employee of L Catterton or any affiliated “L Catterton” entity (it being understood that portfolio companies of investment vehicles advised by L Catterton (or advised by affiliates of L Catterton) shall not be considered an “affiliated “L Catterton” entity”) will have the option, in his or her sole discretion, to receive cash in lieu of any Equity Securities as compensation for his or her service as a director, determined based on the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price per Company Common Share for the period of the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such payment.

Except as specifically stated herein, any agreement, instrument, statute or Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument, statute or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes or Laws) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assignees of rights and obligations under this Agreement. Masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa. The word “day” means calendar day unless Business Day is expressly specified. If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter.

Section 6. Essential Consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, including under Section 1 through 4, are given in consideration for the rights and obligations undertaken under the Investment Agreement, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, constitute essential and integral consideration to the parties hereto for their execution or authorization of the Investment Agreement.

Section 7. Assignment; Benefit of Parties; Transfer. No party hereto may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder and any assignment hereof will be null and void, except that, at or following the date that any Steiner Person that is not already party to or bound by this Agreement becomes a beneficial owner any Company Common Shares, such Steiner Person may become a party to this Agreement as an SLL Investor Holder Party by executing a joinder agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the Steiner Representative as of any determination may assign its rights under Section 22 to any other SLL Investor Holder as provided in Section 22. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and assignees for the uses and purposes set forth and referred to herein and, for the avoidance of doubt, any references to the SLL Investor Holders shall, as the context requires, refer to any permitted assignees of the SLL Investor Holders’ rights and/or obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party hereto, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 9. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by facsimile (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the other parties hereto as follows:

Section 12. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns any remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any terms, covenants or conditions hereof, and all of the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 14. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Investment Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that each party hereto shall bear any fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of, or paid or payable by, such party as a result of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such state or any other jurisdiction.

Section 17. Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, the Delaware Superior Court or, if the Delaware Superior Court declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or federal court within the County of New York in the State of New York), for the purposes of any Action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder and thereunder, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the

 

15


laying of venue of any such Action or proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 9 shall be effective service of process for any such Action or proceeding.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 17(B).

Section 18. Complete Agreement; Inconsistent Agreements. This Agreement, together with the Investment Agreement and the Governing Documents of the Company, represent the complete agreement between the parties hereto as to all matters covered hereby, and supersede any prior agreements or understandings between the parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Prior Agreement is superseded by this Agreement and, upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Prior Agreement shall automatically, without any further action of any party hereto or any other Person, terminate and be of no further force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Investment Agreement and/or the Governing Documents of the Company, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 19. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 20. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) no waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against any party hereto unless such waiver is approved in writing by such party and (b) no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against any party hereto unless such modification or

 

16


amendment is approved in writing by the Company and the Steiner Representative. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 21. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate, and be of no further force and effect, upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the consummation of a Company Sale; (b) mutual written consent of the Company and the Steiner Representative; and (c) the SLL Investor Holders, in the aggregate, beneficially own less than 5% of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares; provided that the last sentence of Section 1(e), Section 1(g), Section 1(i), Section 4, and Sections 5 through 22 (to the extent related to the foregoing) shall not terminate upon the occurrence of the event described in clause (c) and shall continue to be in full force and effect (notwithstanding clause (c) hereof) until the time at which a Steiner Director no longer serves as a director of the Company.

Section 22. Ability to Act on Behalf of the SLL Investor Holders.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Steiner Representative is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act as the representative of the SLL Investor Holders and as the exclusive agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for the SLL Investor Holders for all purposes of this Agreement (including the full power and authority on behalf of the SLL Investor Holders, as well as the Majority SLL Investor Holders, as applicable, (i) to execute and deliver any consents and other documents contemplated by this Agreement and any and all supplements, amendments, waivers or modification thereto, and otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein, (ii) to execute and deliver on behalf of the SLL Investor Holders any amendment or waiver hereto or to any other agreement contemplated hereunder, (iii) to dispute, compromise, settle and pay any claims made in connection with this Agreement and (iv) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which the SLL Investor Holders or the Majority SLL Investor Holders are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement).

(b) Steiner Leisure shall serve as the initial Steiner Representative until it assigns its rights and obligations hereunder as the Steiner Representative to another SLL Investor Holder Party. All power, authority, rights, privileges and obligations conferred in this Agreement to a Steiner Representative shall apply to any successor Steiner Representative. The Steiner Representative shall promptly notify the Company in writing upon any change in the identity of the Steiner representative. The Company shall be entitled to treat Steiner Leisure (or any successor Steiner Representative of which the Company has received notice in accordance with the preceding sentence) as the Steiner Representative until the Company has received the notice described in the preceding sentence.

(c) The appointment of the Steiner Representative by each Steiner Investor Holder is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked in whole or in part (including upon the death or incapacity of the Steiner Representative). Such appointment shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, estates, personal representatives, officers, managers, successors and assigns of each Steiner Investor Holder. All decisions

 

17


of the Steiner Representative shall be final and binding on all of the Steiner Investor Holders, and no Steiner Investor Holder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent investigation, any act, notice, instruction or communication from the Steiner Representative and any document executed by the Steiner Representative on behalf of the Steiner Investor Holders or Majority SLL Investor Holders, and the Company shall be fully protected in connection with any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon.

REGISTRATIONS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

2.1.1 Filing. The Company shall file, within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3, or shall amend or supplement an already effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), or if the Company is ineligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf,” and together with the Form S-3 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration), the “Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis; provided, however, that the plan of distribution in such Shelf with respect to the resale of the warrants issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement shall be limited to non-underwritten transactions in compliance with applicable state securities laws. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing. The Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. The Company shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities from time to time, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if the Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer) and (ii) keep such Subsequent

 

5


Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Holder shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, the Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered once annually after inquiry of the Holders unless the Registrable Securities are delivered pursuant to the BCA in which case the Company shall register such shares as soon as reasonably possible.

2.1.3 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time after the Shelf has been declared effective by the Commission, any SLL Investor Holder may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10.0 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The SLL Investor Holders representing a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities participating in such offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The SLL Investor Holders may collectively demand three Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in any 365-day period.

2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise the Company, the participating SLL Investor Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the participating SLL Investor Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights held by any other shareholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the SLL Investor Holders; (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the

 

6


Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Requesting Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Common Shares or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to include in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.5 Withdrawal. The SLL Investor Holders shall have the right to withdraw from a Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Shelf Takedown. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of subsection 2.1.3, unless either (i) such withdrawal occurs during a period the Company has deferred taking action pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof or (ii) the SLL Investor Holders reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5, other than if the SLL Investor Holders elect to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to the second sentence of this subsection 2.1.5.

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company or the SLL Investor Holders propose to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities of the Company, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities of the Company, for its own account or for the account of equity holders of the Company (including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to subsection 2.1.3 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders as soon as practicable but not less than five days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the launch date of such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within three days after receipt of

 

7


such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering. The Holders, other than SLL Investor Holders and Third Party Investors, shall have rights to Piggyback Registration under this subsection 2.2.1 only for so long as (i) the beneficial owner of such Registrable Securities (with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities, the “Holder Representative”) is a member of the board of directors of the Company and (ii)(a) the Underwritten Shelf Takedown subject to such Piggyback Registration includes a roadshow pursuant to subsection 3.1.15 or (b) the Underwritten Shelf Takedown subject to such Piggyback Registration subjects such Holders to a lock-up in excess of 45 days from the date of pricing such offering, and any notice requirement set forth in this subsection 2.2.1 shall, with respect to such Holders, be satisfied by delivery of such applicable notice to the applicable Holder Representative in lieu of the applicable Holder.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders hereunder, (ii) the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities requested be included in such offering (with the Registrable Securities of all participating SLL Investor Holders taken together as one Holder), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

 

8


(b) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the SLL Investor Holders, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering (with the Registrable Securities of all participating SLL Investor Holders taken together as one Holder), which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Shares or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to subsection 2.1.5, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under subsection 2.1.3 hereof.

2.3 Restrictions on Transfer. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company, each Holder agrees that it shall not transfer any Common Shares (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except in the event the Underwriter managing the offering

 

9


otherwise agrees by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an Underwritten Offering, a Holder shall not be subject to this Section 2.3 with respect to an Underwritten Offering unless each shareholder of the Company that (together with their Affiliates) hold at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and each of the Company’s directors and officers have executed a lock-up agreement on terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Underwritten Offering as requested of the Holders. A Holder’s obligations under the second sentence of this Section 2.3 shall only apply for so long as such Holder (together with its Affiliates) holds at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

ARTICLE III

COMPANY PROCEDURES

3.1 General Procedures. In connection with effecting any Shelf Registration and/or Shelf Takedown, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold;

3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be requested by any Holder that holds at least five percent of the Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of

 

10


Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement (other than the Warrants issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement);

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 at least five days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus furnish a draft thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

3.1.10 permit a representative of the the SLL Investor Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by the SLL Investor Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters agree to confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

 

11


3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.15 if an Underwritten Offering involves Registrable Securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $35.0 million, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

 

12


3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Subject to the minimum thresholds set forth in subsections 2.1.3 and 3.1.15 of this Agreement, the exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than 45 days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose; provided that such right to delay or suspend shall be exercised by the Company not more than two times, which may be consecutive, in any 12-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of the Common Shares held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

13


3.6 Other Obligations. In connection with a sale or transfer of Registrable Securities exempt from Section 5 of the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within the Prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such Prospectus forms a part, the Company shall, subject to the receipt of the any customary documentation required from the applicable Holders in connection therewith, (i) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being sold or transferred and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i). In addition, the Company shall cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with the aforementioned sales or transfers; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to participate in any “road shows” or assist with the preparation of any offering memoranda or related documentation with respect to any sale or transfer of Registrable Securities in any transaction that does not constitute an Underwritten Offering.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

 

14


statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference

 

15


to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

5.6 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and a majority in interest of the SLL Investor Holders, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so adversely affected or a majority in interest of the group of such Holders so adversely affected, as applicable. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

5.7 Other Registration Rights. Other than the registration rights conferred in certain subscription agreements with respect to equity securities of the Company issued in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA, the Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

5.8 Term. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if after such termination, a Holder is issued Deferred Shares (as defined in the BCA) in accordance with the terms of the BCA, such Deferred Shares shall be treated as Registrable Securities under this Agreement and such Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights under this Agreement with respect to such Deferred Shares. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.

5.9 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder, including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 5.8 hereof.

5.10 Adjustments. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Common Shares by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or sale, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the Common Shares as so changed.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES

Company: OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited

Number of Shares: [_]

Class: Common shares, $0.0001 par value per share

Warrant Price: $5.75 per share, subject to adjustment

Original Issue Date: June 12, 2020

Expiration Date: June 12, 2025; see also Section 3.2

Investment Agreement: This Warrant to Purchase Common Shares (“Warrant”) is issued pursuant to that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2020, by and among the investors set forth on the signature pages thereto and the Company (as may be further amended and/or modified and in effect from time to time, the “Investment Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Investment Agreement.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, [__________________] (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase up to [_] of fully paid and non-assessable common shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Shares”), of OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited, an international business company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas (the “Company”), at the Warrant Price, all as set forth above and subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

 

  1.

[RESERVED]

 

  2.

Warrants.

2.1 Form of Warrant. This Warrant, together with all of the other warrants to purchase Common Shares issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement, including any warrants issued upon the transfer of such warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”), shall be issued in certificated form.

2.2 Registration.

2.2.1 Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of this Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register this Warrant in the name of the Holder.

This Warrant shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or other principal officer of the Company. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon this Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

2.2.1 Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on any physical certificate made by anyone other than the Company), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.


2.2.2 Registration of Transfer. The Company shall register the transfer, in whole or in part, from time to time, of this Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company. Upon any partial transfer, the Company shall at its expense issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Registered Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of Common Shares with respect to which rights under this Warrant were not so transferred.

2.3 Transferability. This Warrant may be transferred by the Registered Holder, subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 7.07 of the Investment Agreement and in the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”).

2.4 Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. This Warrant may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that if the Warrant so surrendered bears a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

 

  3.

Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

3.1 Warrant Price. This Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder, subject to the provisions hereof, to purchase from the Company the number of Common Shares set forth above, at the price of $5.75 per share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant shall mean the price per share at which Common Shares may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.

3.2 Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the Original Issue Date, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of: (y) the date that is five (5) years after the Original Issue Date, or (z) the Redemption Date (as defined below) as provided in Section 6.2 hereof (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, as set forth in subsection 3.3.2 below with respect to an effective registration statement. Except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below) in the event of a redemption (as set forth in Section 6 hereof), each outstanding Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date.

3.3 Exercise of Warrants.

3.3.1 Payment. Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by surrendering it to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices, along with a copy of the Notice of Warrant Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, and by paying in full the Warrant Price for each full Common Share as to which this Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of this Warrant, the exchange of this Warrant for the Common Shares and the issuance of such Common Shares, as follows:

(a) in lawful money of the United States, by wire transfer or in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the Company;

(b) in the event of a redemption pursuant to Section 6 hereof in which the Registered Holder has elected to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering each Warrant for that number of Common Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Common Shares underlying such Warrant, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the Fair Market Value (as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(b)) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b) and Section 6.3, the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average last sale price of the Common Shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Warrants, pursuant to Section 6 hereof;

(c) by surrendering this Warrant for that number of Common Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Common Shares underlying this Warrant, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the Fair Market Value (as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(c)) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(c), the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average last sale price of the Common Shares for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Notice of Warrant Exercise is sent to the Company; or

(d) as provided in Section 7.4 hereof.

 

2


3.3.2 Issuance of Common Shares on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of Common Shares to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of Common Shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Common Shares upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or are exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of this Warrant. In the event that the conditions in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant and this Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. The Company may require the Registered Holder to settle this Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to Section 7.4. If, by reason of any exercise of warrants on a “cashless basis”, the Registered Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a Common Share, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Common Shares to be issued to the Registered Holder. Common Shares issued to a Registered Holder, whether upon payment of the Warrant Price pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a), or pursuant to a cashless exercise under subsection 3.3.1(b) or Section 7.4, shall bear a restrictive legend in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company stating that such Common Shares need not bear any such legend.

3.3.3 Valid Issuance. All Common Shares issued upon the proper exercise of this Warrant shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3.3.4 Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for Common Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Company’s transfer agent are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Common Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books or book-entry system are open.

3.3.5 Nonvoting Common Shares. This Warrant shall initially be exercisable solely for “Non-Voting Common Shares” as such term is defined in the Charter. Upon a transfer of this Warrant, or any partial transfer thereof, that would, if such transfer were instead a transfer of the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, be considered a “Qualified Transfer” pursuant to the Charter, this Warrant, or any applicable part thereof in the case of a partial transfer, shall immediately become exercisable for “Voting Common Shares” as such term is defined in the Charter. Any Warrant issued upon a transfer described in the preceding sentence shall not, upon issuance, contain this subsection 3.3.5. Any part of this Warrant that is retained by the Holder upon a partial transfer shall continue to be exercisable for “Non-Voting Common Shares” and shall contain this subsection 3.3.5.1

3.3.6 Treatment of Exercise. If the Registered Holder exercises this Warrant pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(c) on a “cashless” basis, then the Company and the Registered Holder agree (i) the Registered Holder’s surrender of this Warrant in exchange for the receipt of Common Shares issuable in accordance with this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) is intended to be treated as a recapitalization under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (ii) not to file any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing unless otherwise required by a change in law or by the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority following an audit or examination.

4. Adjustments.

4.1 Stock Dividends.

4.1.1 Split-Ups. If after the Original Issue Date, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding Common Shares is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Shares, or by a split-up of Common Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of Common Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Common Shares. A rights offering to holders of the Common Shares entitling holders to purchase Common Shares at a price less than the Fair Market Value (as defined below) shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of Common Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Common Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Shares) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per Common Share paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Shares, in determining the price payable for Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Common Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

Note to Draft: This section shall only appear in the warrants issued to the SLL Investor Holders (as defined in the Investment Agreement).

 

3


4.1.2 Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Shares on account of such Common Shares (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which this Warrant is convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 4.1.1 above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each Common Share in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of Common Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.

4.2 Aggregation of Shares. If after the Original Issue Date, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof, the number of outstanding Common Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of Common Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of Common Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Common Shares.

4.3 Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1 or Section 4.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

4.4 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Common Shares (other than a change under subsections 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or Section 4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Common Shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Common Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Registered Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the Common Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Registered Holder would have received if the Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”) and the Company shall not enter into any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance unless the successor or purchasing entity agrees to provide for delivery of such Alternative Issuance; provided, however, that (i) if the holders of the Common Shares were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which this Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Common Shares in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Common Shares under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares, the Registered Holder shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which the Registered Holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if the Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Shares held by the Registered Holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4; provided, further, that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Common Shares in the applicable event is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the Registered Holder properly exercises this Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission, the Warrant Price shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference of (but in no event less than zero) (i) the Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined

 

4


below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable event based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”). For purposes of calculating such amount, (1) Section 6 of this Agreement shall be taken into account, (2) the price of each Common Share shall be the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event, (3) the assumed volatility shall be the 90 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event, and (4) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of the Warrant. “Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Shares consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per Common Share, and (ii) in all other cases, the amount of cash per Common Share, if any, plus the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in Common Shares covered by subsection 4.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4.1.1 or Sections 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

4.5 Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, or upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Registered Holders, at the last address set forth for each such Registered Holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. The notice shall state the adjusted Warrant Price, if applicable, and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Common Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

4.6 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional Common Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the Registered Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Common Shares to be issued to the Registered Holder.

4.7 Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of the preceding subsections of this Section 4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of this Warrant in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on this Warrant and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint, with the consent of the Registered Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by this Warrant is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company shall adjust the terms of this Warrant in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

 

  5.

[RESERVED]

 

  6.

Redemption.

6.1 Redemption. Not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Company, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 6.2 below, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”), provided that the last sales price of the Common Shares reported has been at least $14.50 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 4 hereof), on each of twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third Business Day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given and provided that the Common Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or are exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and under the securities laws of the states of residence of the Registered Holders.

6.2 Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption. In the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date (the “30-day Redemption Period”) to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Warrant Register. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.

6.3 Exercise After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(b) of this Agreement) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date, in the sole discretion of the Registered Holder. On and after the Redemption Date, the Registered Holder shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

7.1 No Rights as Shareholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

7.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its sole discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as this Warrant. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

7.3 Reservation of Common Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Common Shares that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

7.4 Cashless Exercise at Company’s Option. If the Common Shares are at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule), the Company may, at its option, require the Registered Holder (who independently submits a Notice of Warrant Exercise to the Company) to exercise his, her or its Warrants on a “cashless basis” by exchanging the Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) or another exemption) for that number of Common Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Common Shares underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the Warrant Price and the Fair Market Value (as defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.4, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date that a completed Notice of Warrant Exercise is received by the Company from the Registered Holder of such Warrants or its securities broker or intermediary. Common Shares issued to a Registered Holder pursuant to such a cashless exercise shall bear a restrictive legend in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company stating that such Common Shares need not bear any such legend.

 

  8.

Miscellaneous Provisions.

8.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company in respect of the issuance or delivery of Common Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such Common Shares.

8.2 Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company or the Registered Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

8.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given when so delivered if by hand or overnight delivery or if sent by certified mail or private courier service within five (5) days after deposit of such notice, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: (i) if to the Registered Holder, at his, her or its address as shown in the Warrant Register; and (ii) if to the Company, at its principal office, to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer. Any party may change its address for purposes of this section by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above.

8.4 Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, and performance of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The Company and the Registered Holder hereby agree that any action, proceeding or claim against either party arising out of or relating in any way to this Warrant shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company and the Registered Holder hereby waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

8.5 Persons Having Rights under this Agreement. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Warrant or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, and agreements contained in this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto.

8.6 Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

8.7 Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Warrant and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

8.8 Amendments. This Warrant may only be amended or modified by written instrument executed by both the Company and the Registered Holder.

8.9 Severability. This Warrant shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Warrant or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Warrant a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

8.10 Complete Agreement. This Warrant (together with the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Nassau, Bahamas – June 10, 2020 – OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OSW), the pre-eminent global provider of health and wellness products and services onboard cruise ships and in destination resorts around the world, today announced that, based on preliminary voting results at today’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, OneSpaWorld shareholders have approved the $75 million equity financing. More than two-thirds of the votes cast supported the private placement, which is expected to close on June 12. Shareholders also re-elected the three OneSpaWorld Board nominees.

Leonard Fluxman, Executive Chairman, said, “We are thrilled with this outcome and grateful to our shareholders who supported the Board and management team in their efforts to secure the best committed financing option available under the most dire of circumstances.
