Notwithstanding, and in lieu of, the foregoing, if (x) Loan E, Loan F and Loan G have been made, and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists under this Agreement at the time of the making of Loan E, Loan F and Loan G, Co-Borrowers shall make (A) a payment of accrued interest only to each applicable Lender on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan on the first eighteen (18) Payment Dates specified in the Note applicable to such Loan and (B) an equal payment of principal plus accrued interest to each applicable Lender on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan on the next twenty-four (24) Payment Dates as set forth in the Note applicable to such Loan (such payments, the “Extended Interest Scheduled Payments” and collectively with the Initial Scheduled Payments, the “Scheduled Payments”). Co-Borrowers shall make such Scheduled Payments commencing on the date set forth in the Note applicable to such Loan and continuing thereafter on the first Business Day of each calendar month (each a “Payment Date”) through the Maturity Date. In any event, all unpaid principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date applicable to such Loan.

Unless the Funding Date for a Loan is the first day of a calendar month, Co-Borrowers shall pay the per diem interest (accruing at the Loan Rate from the Funding Date through the last day of that month) payable with respect to such Loan on the first Business Day of the next calendar month.

(c) Payment of Interest. Co-Borrowers shall pay interest on each Loan at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Loan Rate. Interest on a Loan shall be charged commencing on the day that such Loan is made to or on behalf of Co-Borrowers, and shall continue to accrue through the date on which such Loan is repaid in full.

Interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall not in any event exceed the maximum amount permitted by the law applicable to interest charged on commercial loans.

(e) Late Payment Fee. In Lenders’ sole discretion, and in lieu of accelerating following Co-Borrowers’ failure to make any Scheduled Payment when such Scheduled Payment is due to the applicable Lender, Co-Borrowers shall pay to each Lender a late payment fee equal to six percent (6%) of any Scheduled Payment not paid when due to such Lender.

If an Event of Default has occurred and the Obligations have been accelerated (whether automatically or by any Lender’s election), Co-Borrowers shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding accelerated balance hereunder from the date of the Event of Default until all Events of Default are cured, at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate.

2.4 Other Payment Terms.

(a) Place and Manner. Co-Borrowers shall make all payments due to Lenders in lawful money of the United States. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable by any Co-Borrower hereunder shall be made, in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 p.m. Connecticut time, on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment received by any Lender after the time set forth in the immediately preceding sentence will be deemed to have been received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and interest shall accrue through such date. Co-Borrowers shall make such payments to each Lender via wire transfer or ACH as instructed by such Lender from time to time.

(b) Date. Whenever any payment is due hereunder on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Taxes.

(i) Unless otherwise required under applicable law, any and all payments made hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes; provided that if any Co-Borrower shall be required to deduct any taxes from such payments, then (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4(c)) the relevant Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Co-Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) such Co-Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Co-Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any taxes imposed or asserted directly on such Lender by any Governmental Authority on or attributable to amounts payable under this Agreement solely as a result of such Lender entering into this Agreement to the extent such taxes are paid by such Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that such indemnified taxes shall not include income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) such Lender’s net income by the jurisdiction, or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein, under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or in which its applicable lending office is located. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Representative by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

19


(iii) As soon as practicable after any payment of taxes by a Co-Borrower hereunder to a Governmental Authority, such Co-Borrower shall deliver to Lenders the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lenders.

(iv) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Co-Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative, as reasonably requested by Borrower Representative, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(v) If any Lender receives a refund in respect of taxes paid by any Co-Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), which in the sole discretion of such Lender exercised in good faith is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by such Co-Borrower in connection with such refunded taxes, to such Co-Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any taxes to which such Lender has become subject as a result of its receipt of such refund) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Co-Borrower, upon the request of the applicable Lender, shall repay to such Lender amounts paid over pursuant to the preceding clause (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (v), in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Co-Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (v) the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (v) shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Co-Borrower or any other Person.

2.5 Procedure for Making the Loans.

(a) Notice. Borrower Representative shall notify each Lender of the date on which Co-Borrowers desire a Lender to make any Loan at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the desired Funding Date, unless the relevant Lender elects at its sole discretion to allow the Funding Date for a Loan to be made by such Lender to be within five (5) Business Days of Borrower Representative’s notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include (i) any interest of a Co-Borrower as a lessee under an equipment lease and/or property subject to a Lien pursuant to an equipment lease, purchase money Indebtedness financing or other financing arrangement that is permitted hereunder, in any case if such Co-Borrower is prohibited by the terms of such lease or other permitted financing arrangement from granting a security interest in such lease or property or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease or other permitted financing arrangement; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Co-Borrowers or Lenders; (ii) any interest of a Co-Borrower as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease; (iii) rights held under a license that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is enforceable under applicable law); (iv) any interest of a Co-Borrower under any lease, license, contract, or agreement if and to the extent that the grant of the security interest therein shall, after giving effect to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Code (or any successor provision or provisions), constitute or result in (A) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of any right, title or interest of such Co-Borrower therein or (B) a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of thereof, or a default thereunder; provided, however, that, with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv), upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Co-Borrowers or Lenders, or (v) any Intellectual Property; provided, however, that the Collateral shall include all accounts receivables, accounts, and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the foregoing (the “Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date hereof, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Lenders’ security interest in the Rights to Payment.

4.2 After-Acquired Property. If any Co-Borrower shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in the Code, Borrower Representative shall immediately notify Collateral Agent and Lenders in writing signed by Borrower Representative of the brief details thereof and grant to Collateral Agent and each Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent and each Lender.

4.3 Duration of Security Interest. Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall continue until the indefeasible payment in full and the satisfaction of all Obligations, and termination of each Lender’s commitment to fund the Loans, whereupon such security interest shall terminate.

4.4 Location and Possession of Collateral. The material Collateral (individually or in the aggregate in excess of Two Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($287,500)) is and shall remain in the possession of Co-Borrowers at the location listed on the cover page hereof, as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or as permitted by Section 7.2. Co-Borrowers shall remain in full possession, enjoyment and control of the Collateral (except only as may be otherwise required by Collateral Agent or any Lender for perfection of the security interests therein created hereunder and/or as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement) and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, shall be entitled to manage, operate, dispose and use the same and each part thereof with the rights and franchises appertaining thereto; provided that the possession, enjoyment, control, disposal and use of the Collateral shall at all times be subject to the observance and performance of the terms of this Agreement.

4.5 Delivery of Additional Documentation Required. Each Co-Borrower shall from time to time execute and deliver to Collateral Agent and Lenders, at the request of Collateral Agent or any Lender, all financing statements and other documents Collateral Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent and Lenders, to perfect and continue Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ perfected security interests in the Collateral and in order to consummate fully all of the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents.

4.8 Protection of Intellectual Property. Each Co-Borrower shall:

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property material to its business, except to the extent that such failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Co-Borrowers’ business or operations and promptly advise Collateral Agent in writing of material infringements of which it is aware, that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of its Intellectual Property;

(b) not allow any Intellectual Property material to any Co-Borrower’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Collateral Agent’s written consent;

(c) provide written notice to Collateral Agent of entering or becoming bound by any Restricted License (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public) within the later of (i) thirty (30) days from such date and (ii) on the next Officer’s Certificate delivered by Co-Borrowers to Lenders pursuant to Section 6.4; and

(d) take such commercially reasonable steps as Collateral Agent or any Lender reasonably requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (i) any Restricted License to be deemed “Collateral” and for Collateral Agent and Lenders to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such Restricted License, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (ii) Collateral Agent and each Lender to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Collateral Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

4.9 Lien Subordination. Collateral Agent and Lenders agree that the Liens granted to them hereunder shall be subordinate to the Liens to secure the Indebtedness permitted under clause (d) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations hereunder shall not be contractually subordinate in right of payment to any other obligations to any third parties, including other lenders and each Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder shall not in any way be contractually subordinate to the rights and remedies of any such third parties. Collateral Agent and Lenders agree to execute and deliver such agreements and documents as may be reasonably requested by Co-Borrowers from time to time which set forth the lien subordination described in this Section 4.9 and are reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent and Lenders. Collateral Agent and each Lender shall have no obligation to execute any agreement or document which would impose obligations, restrictions or lien priority on Collateral Agent or such Lender which are less favorable to Collateral Agent or such Lender than those described in this Section 4.9.

5. Representations and Warranties. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, each Co-Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Organization and Qualification. Each Co-Borrower and its Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and is in good standing in, any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of Property requires that it be so qualified and licensed or in which the Collateral is located, except for such jurisdictions as to which any failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

27


5.2 Authority. Each Co-Borrower has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform in accordance with the terms thereof, the Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each Co-Borrower and its Subsidiaries have all requisite power and authority to own and operate their Property and to carry on their businesses as now conducted. Each Co-Borrower and its Subsidiaries have obtained all licenses, permits, approvals and other authorizations necessary for the operation of their business.

5.3 Conflict with Other Instruments, etc. Neither the execution and delivery of any Loan Document to which any Co-Borrower is a party nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated nor compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation, the by-laws, or any other organizational documents of any Co-Borrower or any law or any regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority by which any Co-Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective property or assets may be bound or affected or any material agreement or instrument to which any Co-Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound or to which it or any of its Property is subject, or constitute a default thereunder or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

5.4 Authorization; Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the security interest in the Collateral, the incurrence of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents to which any Co-Borrower is a party and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated have each been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Co-Borrower. No authorization, consent, approval, license or exemption of, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Person is, was or will be necessary to (a) the valid execution and delivery of any Loan Document to which any Co-Borrower is a party, (b) the performance of each Co-Borrower’s obligations under any Loan Document or (c) the granting of the security interest in the Collateral, except for filings in connection with the perfection of the security interest in any of the Collateral or the issuance of the Warrants. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Co-Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity.

5.5 No Prior Encumbrances. Each Co-Borrower has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of Liens except for Permitted Liens. Each Co-Borrower has good title and ownership of, or is licensed under, all of such Co-Borrower’s current Intellectual Property. Each Co-Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers, resellers and/or distributors in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to such Co-Borrower and noted on the Disclosure Schedule.

28


Co-Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which any Co-Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to any Co-Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. Except as noted on the Disclosure Schedule or in a separate notice to the Collateral Agent, no Co-Borrower is a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License. No Co-Borrower has received any communications alleging that any Co-Borrower has violated, or by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any proprietary rights of any other Person that would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Co-Borrower has knowledge of any infringement or violation by it of the intellectual property rights of any third party and has no knowledge of any violation or infringement by a third party of any of its Intellectual Property. The Collateral and the Intellectual Property constitute substantially all of the assets and property of Co-Borrowers, and each Co-Borrower owns or licenses all Intellectual Property associated with the business of such Co-Borrower and its Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens.

5.6 Security Interest. The provisions of this Agreement create legal and valid security interests in the Collateral in favor of Collateral Agent and each Lender, and, assuming the proper filing of one or more financing statement(s) identifying the Collateral with the proper state and/or local authorities and other customary perfection steps, the security interests in the Collateral granted to Collateral Agent and each Lender pursuant to this Agreement (a) constitute and will continue to constitute first priority security interests (except to the extent any Permitted Liens may have a superior priority to Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ Liens under this Agreement) and (b) are and will continue to be superior and prior to the rights of all other creditors of each Co-Borrower (except to the extent any Permitted Liens may have a superior priority to Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ Liens under this Agreement).

5.7 Name; Location of Chief Executive Office, Principal Place of Business and Collateral. No Co-Borrower has done business under any name other than that specified on the signature page hereof or as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule. Each Co-Borrower’s jurisdiction of formation, chief executive office, principal place of business, and the place where such Co-Borrower maintains its records concerning the Collateral are presently located in the jurisdiction and at the address set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or such other location as any Co-Borrower has given written notice to Collateral Agent. The Collateral is presently located at the address set forth on the cover page hereof, as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or such other location as any Co-Borrower has given written notice to Collateral Agent.

5.8 Litigation.

5.11 Full Disclosure. No representation, warranty or other statement made by any Co-Borrower in any Loan Document (including the Disclosure Schedule), certificate or written statement furnished to Collateral Agent or any Lender contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained in such certificates or statements not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made (it being recognized by Lenders that the projections and forecasts provided by Co-Borrowers in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results). There is no fact known to any Co-Borrower which materially adversely affects, or which could in the future be reasonably expected to materially adversely affect, its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.12 Solvency, Etc. Each Co-Borrower is Solvent (as defined below) and, after the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, each Co-Borrower will be Solvent. “Solvent” means, with respect to any Person on any date, that on such date (a) the fair value of the property (including goodwill) of such Person is greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of such Person, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets (including goodwill) of such Person is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (c) such Person does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such Person’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature and (d) such Person is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which such Person’s property would constitute an unreasonably small capital.

5.13 Subsidiaries. No Co-Borrower has any Subsidiaries.

5.14 Capitalization. All issued and outstanding Equity Securities of each Co-Borrower are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and such securities were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities, except for such compliance with such laws that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

No Co-Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Property is or has been affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or other casualty that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no disputes presently subject to grievance procedure, arbitration or litigation under any of the collective bargaining agreements, employment contracts or employee welfare or incentive plans to which any Co-Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party, and there are no strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns, or, to the knowledge of any Co-Borrower, jurisdictional disputes or organizing activity occurring which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the knowledge of each Co-Borrower, no officer, employee or consultant of any Co-Borrower is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement, nondisclosure agreement, noncompetition agreement or any other material contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant relating to the right of any such officer, employee or consultant to be employed by any Co-Borrower because of the nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by any Co-Borrower or relating to the use of trade secrets or proprietary information of others, and to each Co-Borrower’s knowledge, the continued employment of each Co-Borrower’s officers, employees and consultants does not subject any Co-Borrower to any material liability for any claim or claims arising out of or in connection with any such contract, agreement, or covenant in each case in a manner reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No Present Intention to Terminate. To the knowledge of each Co-Borrower, no officer or member of the senior management team of any Co-Borrower whose termination, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, has delivered any written notice of any present intention of terminating his or her employment relationship with any Co-Borrower.

In addition, (a) no Co-Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with any Co-Borrower or any Subsidiary are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement.

5.18 Sanctions, Etc. No Co-Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate of any Co-Borrower or its Subsidiaries, is a Person that is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are, (a) the subject or target of any Sanctions or (b) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions. To the best of each Co-Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date hereof and at all times throughout the term of this Agreement, including after giving effect to any transfers of interests permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, none of the funds of any Co-Borrower, any Subsidiary or of their Affiliates have been (or will be) derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in the respective party (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by applicable law or the Loans are in violation of applicable law.

9.3 Effect of Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived by Lenders, to the extent permitted by law, each Co-Borrower covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full extent legally permitted, except as to rights expressly provided herein, hereby expressly waives for itself and on behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of such Co-Borrower, acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that it will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted and delegated to Collateral Agent or any Lender, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or enacted. Any sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each Co-Borrower in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Co-Borrower, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through such Co-Borrower, its successors or assigns.

9.4 Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Each Co-Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf of each Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the true and lawful attorney in fact of such Co-Borrower, with full power of substitution and in its name to file any notices of security interests, financing statements and continuations and amendments thereof pursuant to the Code or federal law, as may be necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ security interests in the Collateral. Each Co-Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint Collateral Agent, on behalf of each Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest) on the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived by Lenders, the true and lawful attorney in fact of such Co-Borrower, with full power of substitution and in its name: (a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all rents, issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in which a security interest is granted under Section 4 with full power to settle, adjust or compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Collateral Agent or such Lender were such Co-Borrower itself; (b) to receive payment of and to endorse the name of such Co-Borrower to any items of Collateral (including checks, drafts and other orders for the

 

45


payment of money) that come into Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s possession or under Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s control; (c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with respect to, the Collateral; (d) in Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of such Co-Borrower or otherwise, which Collateral Agent or such Lender may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of Collateral Agent and Lenders in and to the Collateral; (e) endorse such Co-Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (f) sign such Co-Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (g) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Co-Borrower’s insurance policies; (h) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent or Lenders determine reasonable; (i) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent, any Lender or a third party as the Code permits; and (j) to otherwise act with respect thereto as though Collateral Agent or such Lender were the outright owner of the Collateral.

9.5 Lenders’ Expenses. If any Co-Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Collateral Agent or any Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.8, and take any action with respect to such policies as Collateral Agent or any Lender deems prudent. Any amounts paid or deposited by Collateral Agent or any Lender shall constitute Lenders’ Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Collateral Agent or any Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Collateral Agent or any Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Collateral Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Co-Borrowers shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses, including Lenders’ Expenses, incurred by Collateral Agent or any Lender in the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations hereunder not performed when due.

9.6 Remedies Cumulative; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Collateral Agent and each Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No failure on the part of Collateral Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The Obligations of each Co-Borrower to any Lender or Collateral Agent may be enforced by such Lender or Collateral Agent against any Co-Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it shall not be necessary for Collateral Agent or any other Lender, as applicable, to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding to enforce such Obligations.

9.7 Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Collateral Agent or any Lender, at the time of or received by Collateral Agent or any Lender after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder that has not been waived by Lenders) shall be paid to and applied as follows:

 

46


(a) First, to the payment of reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Collateral Agent or any Lender, including Lenders’ Expenses;

(b) Second, to the payment to Lenders of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Loans for any accrued and unpaid interest, the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, the principal balance of the Loans, and all other Obligations with respect to the Loans (provided, however, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon the Loans, then first, to the unpaid interest thereon ratably, second, to the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii) ratably, if the Loans had been voluntarily prepaid, third, to the principal balance of the Loans ratably, and fourth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then payable to Lenders under any of the Loan Documents); and

(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Co-Borrowers, their successors and assigns or to the Person lawfully entitled to receive the same.

9.8 Reinstatement of Rights. If Collateral Agent or any Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction), Collateral Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the security interest created under this Agreement.

10. Waivers; Indemnification.

10.1 Demand; Protest. Each Co-Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Collateral Agent or any Lender on which any Co-Borrower may in any way be liable.

10.2 Lenders’ Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and each Lender comply with their obligations, if any, under the Code, neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause other than Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Co-Borrowers.

10.3 Indemnification and Waiver. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated:

 

47


(a) General Indemnity. Each Co-Borrower agrees upon demand to pay or reimburse Collateral Agent and each Lender for all liabilities, obligations and out-of-pocket expenses, including Lenders’ Expenses and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Collateral Agent and each Lender from time to time arising in connection with the enforcement or collection of sums due under the Loan Documents, and in connection with any amendment or modification of the Loan Documents or any “work-out” in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Co-Borrower shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Collateral Agent, each Lender, and each of their respective successors, assigns, agents, attorneys, officers, directors, equity holders, servants, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, actions, suits, demands, claims of any kind and nature (including claims relating to environmental discharge, cleanup or compliance), all costs and expenses whatsoever to the extent they may be incurred or suffered by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), fines, penalties (and other charges of any applicable Governmental Authority), licensing fees relating to any item of Collateral, damage to or loss of use of property (including consequential or special damages to third parties or damages to any Co-Borrower’s property), or bodily injury to or death of any person (including any agent or employee of any Co-Borrower) (each, a “Claim”), directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of the use of the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise, the falsity of any representation or warranty of any Co-Borrower or any Co-Borrower’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing indemnity shall cover, without limitation, (i) any Claim in connection with a design or other defect (latent or patent) in any item of equipment or product included in the Collateral, (ii) any Claim for infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right, (iii) any Claim resulting from the presence on or under or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release of any Hazardous Materials on the premises owned, occupied or leased by any Co-Borrower, including any Claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law, (iv) any Claim for negligence or strict or absolute liability in tort or (v) any Claim asserted as to or arising under any Account Control Agreement or any Landlord Agreement; provided, however, no Co-Borrower shall indemnify any Indemnified Person for any liability incurred by such Indemnified Person as a direct and sole result of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of the obligations hereunder. Such indemnities shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s written demand, Co-Borrowers shall assume and diligently conduct, at its sole cost and expense, the entire defense of Collateral Agent and Lenders, each of their members, partners, and each of their respective, agents, employees, directors, officers, equity holders, successors and assigns against any indemnified Claim described in this Section 10.3(a). No Co-Borrower shall settle or compromise any Claim against or involving Collateral Agent or any Lender without first obtaining Collateral Agent’s or such Lender’s written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Waiver. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH CO-BORROWER AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY LENDER UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

 

48


(c) Survival; Defense. The obligations in this Section 10.3 shall survive payment of all other Obligations pursuant to Section 12.8. At the election of any Indemnified Person, Co-Borrowers shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Person’s reasonable discretion, at the sole cost and expense of Co-Borrowers. All amounts owing under this Section 10.3 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand.

11. Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, by prepaid nationally recognized overnight courier, or by prepaid facsimile to Borrower Representative, to Collateral Agent or to Lenders, as the case may be, at their respective addresses set forth below:

12. General Provisions.

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned by any Co-Borrower without each Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in each Lender’s sole discretion. Each Lender shall have the right without the consent of or notice to any Co-Borrower to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in such Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder; provided, however, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent and each Lender shall not assign to any competitor of Co-Borrowers, as reasonably determined by Borrower Representative. Collateral Agent and each Lender may disclose the Loan Documents and any other financial or other information relating to any Co-Borrower to any potential participant or assignee of any of the Loans; provided that such participant or assignee agrees to protect the confidentiality of such documents and information, using the same measures that it uses to protect its own confidential information.

12.2 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations set forth in this Agreement.

12.3 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

12.4 Entire Agreement; Construction; Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, taken together, constitute and contain the entire agreement among Co-Borrowers, Collateral Agent and Lenders and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof. Each Co-Borrower acknowledges that it is not relying on any representation or agreement made by Collateral Agent, any Lender or any employee, attorney or agent thereof, other than the specific agreements set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(b) Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each Co-Borrower, Collateral Agent and each Lender as of the date hereof and their respective counsel; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any Co-Borrower, Collateral Agent or any Lender. Co-Borrowers, Collateral Agent and Lenders agree that they intend the literal words of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that no parol evidence shall be necessary or appropriate to establish any Co-Borrower’s, Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s actual intentions.

 

50


(c) Amendments and Waivers. Any and all discharges or waivers of, or consents to any departures from any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents shall not be effective without the written consent of each Lender; provided that no such discharge, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any and all amendments and modifications of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents shall not be effective without the written consent of each Lender and each Co-Borrower; provided that no such amendment or modification affecting the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Collateral Agent. Any waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Co-Borrower in any case shall entitle any Co-Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, waiver or consent affected in accordance with this Section 12.4 shall be binding upon Collateral Agent, Lenders and on each Co-Borrower.

12.5 Reliance by Lenders. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein by any Co-Borrower shall be deemed to be material to and to have been relied upon by Collateral Agent and Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation by Collateral Agent or any Lender.

12.6 No Set-Offs by Any Co-Borrower. All sums payable by any Co-Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be payable without notice or demand and shall be payable in United States Dollars without set-off or reduction of any manner whatsoever.

12.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts (including signatures delivered by facsimile or other electronic means), each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations or commitment to fund remain outstanding. The obligations of each Co-Borrower to indemnify Collateral Agent and Lenders with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 10.3 shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Collateral Agent or any Lender have run.

13. Relationship of Parties.

(a) Each Co-Borrower and Lenders acknowledge, understand and agree that the relationship between each Co-Borrower, on the one hand, and Lenders, on the other, is, and at all times shall remain solely that of a borrower and lender. No Lender shall, under any circumstances, be construed to be a partner or a joint venturer of any Co-Borrower or any of its Affiliates; nor shall any Lender, under any circumstances, be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with any Co-Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty or any other duty to any Co-Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to any Co-Borrower or any of its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform any Co-Borrower or any of its Affiliates of any matter in connection with its or

 

51


their Property, any Collateral held by Collateral Agent or any Lender or the operations of any Co-Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Each Co-Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Collateral Agent and Lenders and no Co-Borrower nor any Affiliate is entitled to rely thereon.

(b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Co-Borrower to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

14. Confidentiality. All information (other than periodic reports filed by any Co-Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission) disclosed by any Co-Borrower to Collateral Agent or any Lender in writing or through inspection pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered confidential. Collateral Agent and each Lender agrees to use the same degree of care to safeguard and prevent disclosure of such confidential information as Collateral Agent and such Lender uses with its own confidential information, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall disclose such information to any third party (other than (a) to another party hereto, (b) on a confidential basis to Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s members, partners, attorneys, governmental regulators (including any self-regulatory authority) or auditors, (c) on a confidential basis to Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s subsidiaries and affiliates for purposes related to this Agreement, (d) on a confidential basis, to any rating agency, (e) to prospective transferees and purchasers of the Loans or any actual or prospective party (or its Affiliates) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations, any Co-Borrower, any Loan Document or any payment thereunder, all subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein or (f) as required by law, regulation, subpoena or other order to be disclosed) and shall use such information only for purposes of evaluation of its investment in a Co-Borrower and the exercise of Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and the enforcement of its remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any information that (i) was known to the public prior to disclosure by any Co-Borrower under this Agreement, (ii) becomes known to the public through no fault of Collateral Agent or any Lender, (iii) is disclosed to Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis by a third party or (iv) is independently developed by Collateral Agent or any Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ agreement of confidentiality shall not apply if Collateral Agent or any Lender has acquired indefeasible title to any Collateral or in connection with any enforcement or exercise of Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement following an Event of Default, including the enforcement of Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ security interest in the Collateral.

15. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. EACH CO-BORROWER, COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. EACH CO-BORROWER, COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH

 

52


LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.

16. Cross-Guaranty of Co-Borrowers.

16.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Co-Borrower hereby agrees that such Co-Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lenders and their successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Lenders by each other Co-Borrower. Each Co-Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 16 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 16 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Co-Borrower is or may become a party;

(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 16) or any other Loan Document, or the waiver or consent by Lenders with respect to any of the provisions hereof or thereof;

(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect their Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(d) the insolvency of any Co-Borrower or any other Person; or

(e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Co-Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

16.2 Waivers by Co-Borrowers. Each Co-Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, at law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Co-Borrower, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Co-Borrower. Each Co-Borrower and Lenders agree that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 16 and such waivers, Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

 

53


16.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Co-Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 16 are for the benefit of Lenders and their successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Co-Borrower and Lenders, the obligations of such other Co-Borrower under the Loan Documents.

16.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 16.7, each Co-Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Co-Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Co-Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 16, and that Lenders and their successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 16.

16.5 Election of Remedies. If any Lender may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Co-Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, such Lender may, at their sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 16. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, such Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies (including, without limitation, its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Co-Borrower or any other Person), whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Co-Borrower hereby consents to such action by such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Co-Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Co-Borrower shall not impair any other Co-Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by such Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether a Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 16, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which a Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

16.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Co-Borrower’s liability under this Section 16 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Co-Borrower is primarily liable under this Agreement) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the lesser of:

 

54


(a) the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Co-Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Co-Borrower; and

(b) the amount that could be claimed by any Lender from such Co-Borrower under this Section 16 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Co-Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Co-Borrower under Section 16.7.

16.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

(a) To the extent that any Co-Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 16 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to such Co-Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Co-Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Co-Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Co-Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Co-Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Co-Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the commitments to lend hereunder, such Co-Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Co-Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

1. Term. The purchase right represented by this Warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time from the Date of Grant through ten (10) years after the Date of Grant (the “Term”).

2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant. Subject to Section 1 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in whole or in part and from time to time, at the election of the holder hereof, by (a) the surrender of this Warrant (with the notice of exercise substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company, by certified or bank check, or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company (a “Wire Transfer”) of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased; or (b) exercise of the “net issuance” right provided for in Section 10.2 hereof. The person or persons in whose name(s) any certificate(s) representing the Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of, and shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of, the shares represented thereby (and such shares shall be deemed to have been issued) immediately prior to the first close of business on a business day after this Warrant is exercised (which may be the date of exercise). In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be delivered to the holder hereof promptly thereafter and in any event within thirty (30) days after such exercise and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the holder hereof as soon as possible and in any event within such thirty (30) day period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant, the Company may elect to issue any Shares in uncertificated, book-entry form.

All Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights and taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

4. Treatment of Warrant upon an Acquisition of the Company; Other Adjustments of Warrant Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

 

3


(a) Treatment of Warrant upon an Acquisition of the Company.

(i) Acquisition. “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (1) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (2) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company (or the surviving or successor entity or any parent of any of the foregoing) immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; or (3) any sale or other transfer by the stockholders of the Company of shares representing at least a majority of the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power. For the avoidance of doubt, “Acquisition” shall not include any sale and issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock or of securities or instruments exercisable for or convertible into, or otherwise representing the right to acquire, shares of its capital stock to one or more investors for cash in a transaction or series of related transactions the primary purpose of which is a bona fide equity financing of the Company.

(ii) Treatment of Warrant in Cash/Public Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the holders of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (in their capacity as such) consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities (as hereinafter defined) or a combination solely of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the fair market value of one (1) Share as determined in accordance with Section 10.2(c)(ii) hereof would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect as of immediately prior to the closing of such Cash/Public Acquisition, and the holder hereof has not previously exercised this Warrant in full, then, in lieu of the holder’s exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, this Warrant shall, as of immediately prior to such closing (but subject to the occurrence thereof) automatically cease to represent the right to purchase Shares and shall, from and after such closing, represent solely the right to receive the aggregate consideration that would have been payable in such Cash/Public Acquisition on and in respect of all Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable as of immediately prior to the closing thereof, net of the aggregate Warrant Price therefor, as if such Shares had been issued and outstanding to the holder hereof as of immediately prior to such closing, as and when such consideration is paid to the holders of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition in which the fair market value of one (1) Share as determined in accordance with Section 10.2(c)(ii) below would be equal to or less than the Warrant Price in effect as of immediately prior to the closing of such Cash/Public Acquisition, then this Warrant will automatically and without further action of any party terminate as of immediately prior to such closing.

(iii) Treatment of Warrant in non-Cash/Public Acquisition. Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume this Warrant and the Company’s obligations hereunder, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, at an aggregate Warrant Price equal to the aggregate Warrant Price in effect as of immediately prior to such closing (in which case the term

 

4


“Common Stock” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to such securities and, unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall thereafter be deemed to include the issuer of such securities), all subject to further adjustment from time to time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The holder hereof acknowledges that the Company is a party to the Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) dated as of August 9, 2021 by and among the GreenLight BioSciences Inc. (“GreenLight”), Environmental Impact Acquisition Corp. (“ENVI”), and Honey Bee Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Merger Sub shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into GreenLight and GreenLight shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of ENVI [and (ii) holders of shares of [the Common Stock/the common stock of GreenLight] shall receive shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of ENVI (“ENVI Common Stock”) in exchange for their shares of [the Common Stock/the common stock of GreenLight] at the exchange ratio specified therein] (the Merger and such associated transactions referenced in preceding clause[s] [(i) and (ii)] being referred to herein as the “Business Combination Transaction”). The Company and the holder hereof acknowledge and agree that [(x) the Merger will constitute an Acquisition but not a Cash/Public Acquisition by virtue of, among other things, the provisions of Rule 144(i) promulgated under the Act and (y) notwithstanding the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, if the Merger is consummated,] any shares of [ENVI] Common Stock or other securities of [ENVI] that may be issuable in connection with this Warrant (regardless of whether issued [(1) pursuant to the terms of the Merger in exchange for any shares of the Class that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant before the consummation of the Merger,] (2) upon exercise of this Warrant [after the consummation of the Merger] or (3) otherwise) shall constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) promulgated under the Act.8

(iv) “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements (determined as of immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition): (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the holder hereof in connection with the Acquisition were the holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded in a trading market referenced in Section 10.2(c)(ii)(A) or (B) below, and (iii) following the closing of the Acquisition, the holder hereof would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by the holder in the Acquisition were the holder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of the Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of the Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (iv), securities held in escrow or subject to holdback to cover indemnification-related claims shall be deemed to be Marketable Securities if they would otherwise be Marketable Securities but for the fact that they are held in escrow or subject to holdback to cover indemnification-related claims.

If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.

(c) Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a dividend with respect to its Common Stock payable in Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Common Stock (except any distribution specifically provided for in Sections 4(a) and 4(b) and dividends and distributions in cash), then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the holder of this Warrant shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though it were the holder of the Shares as of the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

(d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.

5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall make a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (without regard to Section 13 hereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the holder of this Warrant.

6. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

7. Compliance with Securities Laws; Disposition of Warrant or Shares of Common Stock.

(a) Compliance with Securities Laws. The holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired for investment and that such holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant (in whole or in part), or any Shares except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state securities laws. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the holder hereof shall confirm in writing that the Shares so purchased are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale in violation of the Act and shall confirm such other matters related thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Company. This Warrant and all Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.”

[IF WARRANT IS ISSUED FOR GREENLIGHT COMMON STOCK: and, if then applicable pursuant to Section 9 of this Warrant, a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE, INCLUDING A LOCK-UP PERIOD AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE COMPANY’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SECURITIES.”]

Any such legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the request of a holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated. In addition, in connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the holder specifically represents to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

(1) The holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired information about the Company sufficient to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Warrant. The holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof in violation of the Act.

(2) The holder understands that neither this Warrant nor any security issuable hereunder has been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the holder’s investment intent as expressed herein.

 

7


(3) The holder further understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon any exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under applicable federal and state securities laws and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from registration and qualification are otherwise available. The holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Act.

(4) The holder is and at the time of any exercise hereof shall be an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

(b) Disposition of Warrant or Shares. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or Shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder’s counsel, or other evidence (including investment representation letters), reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion or other evidence, the Company, as promptly as practicable but no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written notice, shall notify such holder whether such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 7(b) that the opinion of counsel for the holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant or such Shares may, as to such federal laws, be offered, sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Rule 144 or 144A under the Act, provided that the Company shall have been furnished with such information as the Company may reasonably request to provide a reasonable assurance that the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A have been satisfied. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares thus transferred (except a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A) shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder (if reasonably satisfactory to the Company), such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

(c) Applicability of Restrictions. Neither any restrictions of any legend described in this Warrant nor the requirements of Section 7(b) above shall apply to (i) any transfer of this Warrant (or the Common Stock obtainable upon exercise thereof) or any part hereof (A) to a partner of the holder if the holder is a partnership or to a member of the holder if the holder is a limited liability company, (B) to a partnership of which the holder is a partner or to a limited liability company of which the holder is a member, (C) to any affiliate of the holder if the holder is a corporation, or (D) notwithstanding the foregoing, to any corporation, company, limited liability company, limited partnership, partnership, or other person managed or sponsored by [Powerscourt Investments XXV, LP (“Powerscourt”) / Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“HRZN”)] or in which [Powerscourt/HRZN] has an interest, or (ii) any mere pledge of this Warrant (or the Common Stock obtainable upon exercise thereof) or any part thereof to a lender to [Powerscourt/HRZN] (it being understood that such restrictions and the requirements of Section 7(b) shall apply to any sale, disposition or other transfer of this Warrant (or the Common Stock obtainable upon exercise thereof) or any part hereof pursuant to any exercise of remedies by any lender or otherwise pursuant to any such pledge arrangement; provided, however, in any such transfer, (x) no consideration is paid or payable by the transferee in such transfer, and (y) prior to such transfer, the transferor shall give written notice to the Company of such transfer and the pertinent details thereof (including the portion of this Warrant transferred and the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee) and the transferee shall agree in writing (in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Warrant, and shall make the representations set forth in Section 7(a) above, as if an original holder hereof.

(d) [IF WARRANT IS ISSUED FOR GREENLIGHT COMMON STOCK: Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, at all times prior to the consummation of the Business Combination Transaction (so long as the Business Combination Agreement has not terminated) or an initial, underwritten offering and sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, the holder of this Warrant may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, transfer this Warrant or any portion hereof, or any Shares issued upon any exercise hereof to any person or entity who directly competes with the Company (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its reasonable good faith judgment), except in connection with an acquisition of the Company by such a direct competitor.]

8. Rights as Shareholders; Information. No holder of this Warrant, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or distributions or be deemed the holder of Common Stock which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof or otherwise, or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends, distributions or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will transmit to the holder of this Warrant such information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to the holders of Common Stock concurrently with the distribution thereof to the shareholders.

9. [IF WARRANT IS ISSUED FOR GREENLIGHT BIOSCIENCES INC. COMMON STOCK: Market Stand-off Agreement; Stockholder Agreements.

 

9


(a) The holder of this Warrant agrees that the Shares shall be subject to the Market Standoff provisions in Section 2.11 of the Company’s Investors’ Rights Agreement dated August 31, 2017, as amended and in effect from time to time.

(b) With respect to this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof, if the Company so requests in writing, the holder hereof shall become a party to the Company’s then-effective right of first refusal and co-sale agreement, voting agreement and/or each other agreement entered into among the Company and holders of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock and/or other securities, each as may be amended and in effect from time to time (collectively, the “Stockholder Agreements”), in substantially the same manner that it is applicable to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock (or warrants or options exercisable therefor) party thereto, by execution and delivery to the Company of a counterpart signature page, joinder agreement, instrument of accession or similar instrument, provided that such Stockholder Agreement is by its terms in force and effect at the time of such exercise. If the foregoing condition is met, then effective upon such exercise, the holder of this Warrant shall automatically become bound by, and the Shares issued upon such exercise shall automatically become subject to, such Stockholder Agreements.]

10. Additional Rights.

10.1 Acquisition Transactions. The Company shall provide the holder of this Warrant with at least seven (7) business days’ written notice prior to closing thereof of the principal terms and conditions of any Acquisition.

10.2 Right to Convert Warrant into Stock: Net Issuance.

(a) Right to Convert. In addition to and without limiting the rights of the holder under the terms of this Warrant, the holder shall have the right to convert this Warrant or any portion thereof (the “Conversion Right”) into shares of Common Stock as provided in this Section 10.2 at any time or from time to time during the term of this Warrant. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right with respect to a particular number of shares subject to this Warrant (the “Converted Warrant Shares”), the Company shall deliver to the holder (without payment by the holder of any exercise price or any cash or other consideration) that number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock as is determined according to the following formula:

X = B - A

Y

 

Where: X =    the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issued to holder

Y =

   the fair market value of one share of Common Stock

A =

   the aggregate Warrant Price of the specified number of Converted Warrant Shares immediately prior to the exercise of the Conversion Right (i.e., the number of Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the Warrant Price)

B =

   the aggregate fair market value of the specified number of Converted Warrant Shares (i.e., the number of Converted Warrant Shares multiplied by the fair market value of one Converted Warrant Share)

 

10


No fractional shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right, and, if the number of shares to be issued determined in accordance with the foregoing formula is other than a whole number, the Company shall pay to the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the resulting fractional share on the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of Section 10 of this Warrant, shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Right shall be treated as if they were issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Method of Exercise. The Conversion Right may be exercised by the holder by the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with a written statement (which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto duly completed and executed) specifying that the holder thereby intends to exercise the Conversion Right and indicating the number of shares subject to this Warrant which are being surrendered (referred to in Section 10.2(a) hereof as the Converted Warrant Shares) in exercise of the Conversion Right. Such conversion shall be effective upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant together with the aforesaid written statement, or on such later date as is specified therein (the “Conversion Date”), and, at the election of the holder hereof, may be made contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Company’s Common Stock to the public in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Act (a “Public Offering” and a “Registration Statement”, as applicable) (which the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to conduct). Certificates for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Right and, if applicable, a new warrant evidencing the balance of the shares remaining subject to this Warrant, shall be issued as of the Conversion Date and shall be delivered to the holder within thirty (30) days following the Conversion Date.

(c) Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 10.2, “fair market value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

(i) If the Conversion Right is exercised in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, and if the Company’s Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial “Price to Public” specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering.

(ii) If the Conversion Right is not exercised in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:

(A) If traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on such exchange over the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date;

 

11


(B) If traded on an over-the-counter system, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices of the Common Stock over the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Determination Date; and

(C) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its good faith, reasonable judgment.

If closing prices or closing bid prices are no longer reported by a securities exchange or other trading system, the closing price or closing bid price shall be that which is reported by such securities exchange or other trading system at 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the applicable trading day.

10.3 Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised as to all of the Shares subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 10.2 above (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 10.2(c). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Company agrees to promptly notify the holder hereof of the number of Shares, if any, the holder hereof is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

11. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to the holder of this Warrant as follows:

(a) This Warrant has been duly authorized and executed by the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and the rules of law or principles at equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

(b) The Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from preemptive rights.

(d) The execution and delivery of this Warrant do not, and the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof will not, violate or conflict with the Company’s Charter or by-laws, do not and will not contravene any law, governmental rule or regulation, judgment or order applicable to the Company, and do not and will not conflict with or contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument of which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration or filing with or the taking of any action in respect of or by, any Federal, state or local government authority or agency or other person, except for the filing of notices as may be required pursuant to federal and state securities laws, which filings will be effected by the time required thereby.

 

12


(e) There are no actions, suits, audits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company in any court or before any governmental commission, board or authority which, if adversely determined, could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

14. Binding Effect on Successors. This Warrant shall be binding upon any corporation succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and all of the obligations of the Company relating to the Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall survive the exercise, conversion and termination of this Warrant and all of the covenants and agreements of the Company shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the holder hereof.

15. Lost Warrants or Stock Certificates. The Company covenants to the holder hereof that, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.

16. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the various sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.

21. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and effect.
