Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 10, 2025, Surf Air Mobility, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain institutional investors relating to the offering and sale of:

 

i.
3,975,901 shares (the “Registered Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 3,975,901 shares of Common Stock (the “Registered Warrants”), at an offering price of $3.32 per share and accompanying warrant, in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”);
ii.
2,048,195 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement Shares” and, together with the Registered Shares, the “Shares”) and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 2,048,195 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Registered Warrants, the “Warrants”), at the same offering price per share and accompanying warrant, in a private placement; and
iii.
$74 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes due 2028 (the “Note”) in a private placement.

 

The offerings described above closed on November 12, 2025 (the “Closing Date”).

 

In addition, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Palantir Shares”) on November 10, 2025 at a price of $3.32 per share as a prepayment of consideration for license fees and related professional services to be rendered by Palantir Technologies Inc. (“Palantir”) pursuant to the Company’s existing software license agreement with Palantir (the “Palantir Placement”). In addition, the Company delivered 881,579 additional shares of common stock to Palantir as consideration for license fees and related professional services pursuant to the License Agreement on an unregistered basis on November 12, 2025, representing a total payment in shares (together with the Palantir Placement) of approximately $6,000,000.

 

The Company received gross proceeds from the offerings of approximately $85 million before deducting estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering and the offering of the Private Placement Shares and the Private Placement Warrants for the funding of separately capitalized subsidiaries. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Note (together, the “Concurrent Offerings”) to repay outstanding indebtedness under (i) its 4-year credit agreement with certain affiliates of Comvest Partners, as lenders, dated November 14, 2024, (ii) its convertible note issued under its June 21, 2023, convertible note purchase agreement with Partners for Growth V.L.P. (the “PfG Convertible”) and (iii) its mandatory convertible security (the “GEM Mandatory”) issued under its mandatory convertible security purchase agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS, dated March 1, 2024. Prepayment of the PfG Convertible will occur through an initial payment of $4 million shortly after closing of the offerings and monthly principal payments of no less than $500,000 thereafter. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the Palantir Placement. The Company estimates that offering expenses payable by the Company in the offerings will be approximately $6.2 million.

 

Without giving effect to the issuance of the shares described above, the exercise of any portion of the Warrants or the conversion of any portion of the Note, as of November 7, 2025, the Company had 52,266,051 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

The Registered Shares, Registered Warrants and Palantir Shares are being offered and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284845) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 21, 2025 and declared effective on March 26, 2025, and the related short-form registration statement filed with the Commission on November 10, 2025 pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Registered Direct Offering and the Palantir Placement, a preliminary prospectus supplement (“the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) and final prospectus supplement dated November 10, 2025, including the accompanying base prospectus dated March 26, 2025, was filed with the Commission on November 10, 2025 and November 12, 2025, respectively (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and are available on the Commission’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.

 

The Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Warrants, the Note, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or the conversion of the Note are being offered and sold in reliance on the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

The Warrants

 

The exercise price of each Registered Warrant is $3.32 per share. The Registered Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on the second anniversary of the original issuance date. The Registered Warrants are initially exercisable solely on a cashless basis, but will become exercisable against payment of the exercise price if the Company subsequently files, and causes to become effective, a registration statement registering such exercise and notifies the holders.

 

 


 

Subject to specified conditions, the Company may force the holder to exercise the Registered Warrants at any time if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds 150% of the exercise price on each of the immediately preceding 20 consecutive trading days beginning after the original issuance date of the Registered Warrants and ending on the date upon which the forced exercise notice is delivered to the holder.

 

The Private Placement Warrants have terms substantially identical to the Registered Warrants (other than as regards transfer restrictions related to the private placement and that the private placement warrants will be exercisable for cash from the time of issuance). We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants within 100 days following the Closing Date and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable registration statement to become effective within 130 days following the Closing Date.

 

The Note

 

The Note will be the senior secured obligation of the Company, guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Note is being sold at 87.8% of its principal amount the Company will receive $65 million of proceeds before expenses for the Note. The Note will not accrue interest except in the event of an event of default. The Note will accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum upon any event of default. The Note will mature on October 31, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Repayment of any principal amount remaining outstanding at maturity will be required to be made at 105% of such principal amount.

 

The Note may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 251.0040 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Note (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.98 per share of Common Stock), representing an aggregate of 18,574,297 shares of Common Stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur.

 

Subject to specified conditions, the Company may force the holder to convert the Note at any time if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock equals or exceeds 150% of the then current conversion price on each of the immediately preceding 20 consecutive trading days, in amounts (i) not less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Note, but (ii) not greater than 2.5 times the average dollar daily trading volume during the related 20 trading day measurement period.

 

The Note will be redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash at the Company’s option at any time upon 20 trading days’ notice in a minimum principal amount of $10 million (or, if less, the remaining principal amount of the Note), which, solely if the conversion value of the Notes is greater than their principal amount, shall also not be greater than 2.5 times the average daily dollar trading volume during the related measurement period. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Company Redemption Price”). In order to exercise the Company’s option to redeem, the equity conditions specified in the Note must be satisfied, including, but not limited to the following: there is no pending, proposed or intended fundamental change (as described below), and no event of default will have occurred.

 

The holder will have the option to require the Company to partially redeem the Note on the first and fifteenth day of each month beginning March 1, 2026 in an amount equal to the greater of (a) 5.0% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock, (b) an amount equal to (i) $2,000,000, minus (ii) the cumulative sum of the amounts by which the principal amounts partially redeemed have exceeded $2,000,000 for all prior redemption periods, less any amounts that have previously been applied by the Company pursuant to this clause (ii) to reduce partial redemption amounts, if any, and (c) $750,000. The holder may elect to receive shares in an amount determined by applying the conversion rate to the redemption payment otherwise due. Any such partial redemption payment (whether in cash or in shares) shall reduce the principal amount by such paid amount divided by one hundred five percent (105%). The maximum number of shares issuable under the Note (if the entire Note were redeemed on this basis) would be 19,503,012.

 

Additionally, a portion of the Note equal to 5.0% of the aggregate trading volume of the Common Stock multiplied by the volume weighted average price for each day during which the Note is “in the money” (have a conversion value higher than their principal amount) during the time between issuance and the effectiveness of a related resale registration statement will be redeemed for a price equal to the underlying conversion value of the principal amount so redeemed (the “Special Redemption Price”).

 

Further, on March 1, 2026, the holder of the Note will have the right to require us to redeem a principal amount of the Note equal to up to 50% of the gross proceeds from any equity financings (including from our equity line of credit or any future at-the-market (ATM) program) since issuance off the Note, provided that in no event will such amount exceed (a) $6,000,000 minus (b) the sum of 50% of any Special Redemption Price paid and 50% of the principal amount of the Note converted since issuance, in each case prior to March 1, 2026.

 

In the event of a fundamental change, as described in the Note and generally including (i) any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the voting power represented by the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) the sale, transfer or

 


 

other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets and (iii) any transaction or series of related transactions in connection with which (whether by means of merger, consolidation, share exchange, combination, reclassification, recapitalization, acquisition, liquidation or otherwise) all of the Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into, acquired for, or constitutes solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, the holder of the Note will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Note (or a portion thereof) for a cash purchase price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Note being repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (B) the sum of (I) 110% of the product of (a) the conversion rate then in effect, (b) the principal amount of the Note being repurchased, (c) the highest daily volume weighted average price per share of common stock occurring during the period commencing five (5) trading days prior to the earlier of (x) the effective date of such fundamental change and (y) the date that such fundamental change is publicly announced and ending on the date immediately preceding the fundamental change repurchase date and (II) the accrued and unpaid interest thereon

 

Immediately following the closing of the Note transaction, we are required to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and use reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable registration statement to become effective within 21 days following the closing date. In the event such registration statement ceases to remain continuously effective, the Company is required to pay (i) on the first business day after such event an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages, equal to the product of 2.0% multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of the Note then outstanding, and (ii) additional liquidated damages, which will automatically accrue on the principal amount of the Note then outstanding, at a rate per annum equal to 24.0%, from, and including, the date of the applicable event, to, but excluding the date that a registration statement is available for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and all outstanding liquidated damages have been paid; provided, however, that liquidated damages with respect to any suspension or termination of a resale registration statement following initial effectiveness shall be payable only through the fifth business day after the liquidated damages begin to accrue.

 

If certain events of default occur, the holder of the Note may declare the Note due and payable for cash in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (1) any amount paid pursuant to the Letter of Credit (as defined below), (2) 115% of 105% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note, after deducting from such principal amount any payment pursuant to the Letter of Credit and (3) accrued and unpaid interest and (B) the sum of (1) 110% of the conversion value of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note and (2) accrued and unpaid interest (the “Event of Default Acceleration Amount”). In the event the conversion value of the Note is equal to or less than their principal amount, the Company may instead redeem the Note in whole or in part or Park Lane Investments LLC (“Park Lane”), the credit support provider, may purchase the Note in whole, but not in part, in either case for a cash price equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount, and the principal amount not redeemed or purchased shall become due and payable for cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount. Upon such acceleration, the holder may draw upon the Letter of Credit (solely to the extent not redeemed or repurchased by the Company or Park Lane) and exercise any and all rights and remedies provided to the holder under the Note or any related security document, including all rights and remedies available under the UCC. If an event of default occurs and the Note is not redeemed, default interest will accrue on the principal amount of the Note then outstanding at a rate per annum equal to 15% from, and including, the date of such event of default to, but excluding, the date such event of default is cured.

 

The Company’s obligations under the Note will be guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries, and will be subject to a security interest on the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The Company is subject to comprehensive negative and affirmative covenants, including, inter alia, restrictions on its ability to incur indebtedness, create liens, make investments, declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase equity, and transfer or sell material assets, in each case subject to certain enumerated exceptions. The Company must also maintain a minimum liquidity of $10,000,000 in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in controlled accounts. The Company also must obtain prior written consent from a majority of holders of the Note before issuing additional Note or securities that would cause a default under the Note or restrict the Company’s ability to pay the principal amount thereon. In addition, the Company must maintain a required reserve of authorized and unissued common stock calculated pursuant to a specified formula set forth in the Note, and deliver and maintain the Letter of Credit to backstop the Note. The Company must also maintain at least $30,000,000 in available capacity under either an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market” offering within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of common stock from time to time. Additional affirmative covenants require the Company to maintain its business within existing lines, preserve its corporate existence, properties and intellectual property rights, maintain adequate insurance and ensure affiliate transactions are on arm’s length terms.

 

Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement Amendment

 

In connection with the offering of the Note and the refinancing of existing liabilities of the Company, the Company is required to cause the issuance and delivery of an irrevocable standby letter of credit in an amount equal to $30,000,000 to backstop the Note (the “Letter of Credit”). The Note contains certain representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the holders of the Note would have the right to draw upon the letter of credit.

 

 


 

On November 12, 2025, the Company also entered into an amendment to the Company’s existing reimbursement agreement, dated as of such date (as amended, the “Reimbursement Agreement”), among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and Park Lane, to add the Letter of Credit to the scope of the Reimbursement Agreement. If the Letter of Credit is drawn upon, the Company will be required to reimburse Park Lane for the drawn amount of the letter of credit and pay interest to Park Lane at 15.00% per annum on such drawn amounts (subject to increase in the event of default). The Company is separately obligated to pay a fee of 1.00% per annum to Park Lane on the outstanding principal amount of the backstop letter of credit. In the event the Company raises capital in certain equity offerings, a portion of the net cash proceeds from such equity offerings is required to be remitted to Park Lane to be held in trust in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement. The obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and subject to a security interest on assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Reimbursement Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. As consideration for Park Lane’s commitment to provide credit support for the Letter of Credit over a three year period, the Company has issued 2,025,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Park Lane (the “Park Lane Shares”).

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreements, the Warrants, the Note and the Reimbursement Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of Securities Purchase Agreement, Warrants, Note and Reimbursement Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

The Company notes that the representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement or the accompanying base prospectus contained therein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to or in favor of any stockholder or potential stockholder of the Company other than the parties thereto. In addition, the assertions embodied in any representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements may be subject to qualifications with respect to knowledge and materiality different from those applicable to security holders generally. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made, except where expressly stated otherwise. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of the Company’s affairs at any time.

An opinion of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton LLP regarding the validity of the Registered Shares, the Registered Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Registered Warrants, and the Palantir Shares is filed as Exhibit 5.1.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, and these securities cannot be sold in any state or jurisdiction in which this offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction. Any offer will be made only by means of a prospectus, including the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Warrants, the Note, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or the conversion of the Note and the Park Lane Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Company is relying on the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of such securities.

On November 10, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the offerings described in Item 1.01, a copy of which is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Essential Air Service Program and Federal Funding Developments

 

The Company has multi-year contracts with the United States Department of Transportation’s (“DOT”) to operate Essential Air Service (“EAS”) routes, which helps small communities in the United States maintain a minimum level of scheduled air services. During October 2025, the DOT issued public notices regarding a potential lapse in appropriated funding for the EAS program as a result of the federal government shutdown, followed by amended notices extending temporary funding authority through November 18, 2025.

 

There can be no assurance that funding will continue without interruption after November 18, 2025 or that appropriations will be made on a timely basis. While the DOT has historically restored and funded EAS obligations retroactively following prior government shutdowns, no commitment to do so has been made in connection with this shutdown and there can be no assurance that Congress will authorize retroactive reimbursement for service provided during a lapse. The Company and its operating subsidiaries have provided, and intend to continue to provide, full scheduled EAS service during the current funding uncertainty. The Company will continue to evaluate operations in coordination with the DOT as circumstances evolve.

 

Interruptions, reductions, or delays in federal appropriations for the EAS program—or changes in related legislation, regulations, or administrative practices—could affect the timing and amount of subsidy payments and increase the Company’s working capital requirements to the extent it elects to continue operating EAS routes during a funding lapse. The Company monitors these developments closely and will continue to assess their potential impact on liquidity, operating results, and overall business strategy.

 

Outstanding Indebtedness

 

On November 7, 2025, the Company had consolidated indebtedness of $96.9 million; after giving pro forma effect to the Registered Direct Offering and the private placements described in Item 1.01, including application of the proceeds as described herein, as if they had occurred on that date, the Company would have had consolidated indebtedness of $119.1 million. This reflects, inter alia, reductions in (i) the outstanding principal amount of the secured convertible promissory note (the “LamVen Note”) that the Company issued to LamVen LLC (“LamVen”) in 2024 to refinance certain existing notes and (ii) the GEM Mandatory. The original aggregate principal amount of the LamVen Note was $50.0 million. $35 million principal amount of the LamVen Note has since been converted. On November 7, 2025, LamVen transferred $14.9 million of the remaining $15.0 million outstanding principal amount of the LamVen Note and currently holds the remaining $100,000 aggregate principal amount. The aggregate principal amount outstanding of the GEM Mandatory has been reduced from $38.6 million on December 31, 2024 to $8.3 million as of November 7, 2025.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Surf Air Mobility Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s offering pursuant to (a) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-284845) (the “Original Registration Statement”) and (b) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-291407) filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of 3,975,901 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and of 3,975,901 warrants to purchase 3,975,901 shares of the Common Stock (the “Warrants” and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”), each pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreements dated November 10, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreements”) between the Company and the buyers listed in the Schedule of Buyers thereto, and of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Palantir Shares”) as consideration for license fees and related professional services rendered by Palantir Technologies Inc. Such registration statements, taken together, as amended as of their most recent effective date (November 10, 2025), insofar as they relate to the Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares and Palantir Shares (as determined for purposes of Rule 430B(f)(2) and Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, are herein called the “Registration Statement;” the related prospectus dated March 26, 2025, included in the Original Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” and the related prospectus supplement dated November 10, 2025, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the “Final Prospectus Supplement.” The Base Prospectus and the Final Prospectus Supplement together are herein called the “Final Prospectus.”

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:

(a)
executed copies of the Purchase Agreements;
(b)
the Registration Statement;
(c)
the Final Prospectus;
(d)
a copy of the Warrants as executed by the Company;
(e)
copies of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws certified by the

Surf Air Mobility Inc., p. 2

 

Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the corporate secretary of the Company, respectively.

In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such corporate records of the Company and such other documents, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in the Purchase Agreement).

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:

1.
The Shares have been validly issued by the Company and are fully paid and nonassessable.
2.
The Warrants are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Company.
3.
The Warrant Shares being registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and reserved for issuance upon exercise and, when issued and paid for upon exercise in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued by the Company and will be fully paid and nonassessable.
4.
The Palantir Shares have been validly issued by the Company and are fully paid and nonassessable.

Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of the Company, (a) we have assumed that the Company and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except no such assumption is made as to the Company regarding matters of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware that in our experience normally would be applicable to general business entities with respect to such agreement or obligation) and (b) such opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. In particular, we express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of the Warrants that may require a party to pay, as damages, an amount that is held to be a penalty because it is disproportionate to the actual damages suffered.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws.

The Company agrees that for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date immediately following the ninety (90) calendar days following the Effectiveness Date (as defined herein) (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or register, amend or supplement any outstanding registration statements or file any shelf registration statements, or any amendments or supplements thereto, except the initial Resale Registration Statement, or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Convertible Securities, any preferred stock or any purchase rights). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(j)(i) shall not apply during the Restricted Period in respect of (A) the issuance of restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards, Options or Convertible Securities issued under any Approved Stock Plan (as defined below), so long as (i) the aggregate number of shares issued and issuable pursuant thereto does not exceed five percent (5%) of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date hereof and (ii) the exercise price of any such Options is not lowered and the conversion price of any such Convertible Securities is not lowered, none of such Options or Convertible Securities are amended to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such options are otherwise materially changed in any manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers, (B) conversion or exercise of existing Options or Convertible Securities of the Company, so long as the exercise price of any such Options is not lowered and the conversion price of any such Convertible Securities is not lowered, none of such Options or Convertible Securities are amended to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such options are otherwise materially changed in any manner that adversely affects any of the Buyers, or (C) the issuances of Underlying Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(j)(i) shall not apply with respect to any issuances of only Common Stock pursuant to an equity line of credit with the GEM Facility (as defined below) or any other Equity Line of Credit that is approved by written agreement by the Required Holders (which approval of such other equity line of credit may be granted or revoked at any time by the Required Holders in their sole discretion) (the “Equity Line of Credit”); provided, however, that the Company’s existing Second Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2023, as amended and restated, by and between Surf Air Global Limited, a company limited by shares formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, GEM Global Yield LLC SCS, a société en commandite simple formed under the laws of Luxembourg, and Gem Yield Bahamas Limited, a limited company formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, the “GEM Facility”) is deemed approved. An “Approved Stock Plan” means any security-based compensation plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the date hereof, pursuant to which Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock and other incentive equity awards may be

issued to any employee, officer, consultant or director for services provided to the Company in their capacity as such, and not for the purpose of raising capital, pursuant to any consulting agreement, advisory agreement or independent contractor agreement approved by the Board of Directors or the compensation committee thereof.
(ii)
So long as the Notes or any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company and each Subsidiary shall be prohibited from effecting, or entering into an agreement directly or indirectly to effect a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary (A) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (i) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (ii) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, other than pursuant to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events or (B) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit) whereby the Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights); provided that, for avoidance of doubt, neither (A) (i) the entry into the ATM Sales Agreement underlying the ATM Sales Program and issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Program or Equity Line of Credit or (ii) the GEM Facility nor (B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto shall be considered a “Variable Rate Transaction.”
(iii)
So long as the Notes or the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, issue any Notes or Warrants (other than to the Buyers as contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Notes or the Warrants.
(iv)
Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any issuance prohibited by this Section 4(j), which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(k)

(l)
Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.
(m)
Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, except as otherwise permitted under the Notes, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders (other than as required by the Notes or as required by the terms thereof as in effect on the date hereof); provided, however,

31


 

that such written consent shall not be required for any repurchases, forfeitures, withholdings or transfers of securities pursuant to a net exercise of a Convertible Security to cover the payment of the exercise prices or the payment of withholding of taxes associated with the exercise or vesting of equity awards under any equity compensation plan of the Company.
(n)
Corporate Existence. So long as any Notes or the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Change (as defined in the Notes) or a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Changes set forth in the Notes and the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants.
(o)
Issuance Procedures. The terms of the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable, set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to receive the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes or by exercise of the Warrants, as applicable. No legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to receive the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes or by exercise of the Warrants, as applicable, other than as set forth in Section 2(f). The Company shall honor an election by a Buyer to receive the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes or by exercise of the Warrants, as applicable, and shall deliver the Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable. Except as explicitly set forth in the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable, no legal opinion, information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to receive Underlying Shares pursuant to the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable.

(q)
General Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act) or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell the Private Placement Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
(r)
Integration. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the NYSE and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the NYSE, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.
(s)
Rule 144. The Company shall cause the Private Placement Securities and any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes to be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise

32


 

transferred by the Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, any requirement as to availability of current public information that is not satisfied, or notice under the 1933 Act and without any requirement for registration under any state securities or “blue sky” law, on and after the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date.
(t)
Share Reserve. So long as any of the Notes or the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times have no less than a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (as defined in the Notes), which shall be reserved for issuance of shares of Common Stock for any issuances in connection with any conversion or exercise of the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to the terms thereof; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4(t) be reduced other than in connection with any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. The amounts set forth in the definition of Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes and the Warrants based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes or upon exercise of the Warrants held by each holder thereof on the date of issuance of the Notes and the Warrants (without regards to any limitations on exercise or conversion) (collectively, the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes or Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes or any Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of the Notes and the Warrants, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Notes or upon exercise of the Warrants then held by such holders thereof (without regard to any limitations on exercise or conversion). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.
(u)
Right to Participate. Beginning on the Closing Date and until the date on which the Notes no longer remain outstanding, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, conduct any financing or offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or any Subsidiaries’ debt, equity, equity-linked, equity equivalent securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for equity, including without limitation any preferred stock or other security (excluding arrangements for compensation of officers and directors and offerings of Common Stock issued pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit or through the ATM Sales Program (other than an issuance through the ATM Sales Agreement in which a single investor or group of related investors purchase in excess of ten (10) million dollars ($10,000,000.00) of Common Stock or in which the Common Stock is sold at a greater than five percent (5%) discount)) (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition, reprice or announcement of any financing being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”), unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(u).

33


 

(i)
The Company shall deliver to each Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) include any draft offering documents in connection with such Offer, (B) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (C) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (D) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged, and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyers up to an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the Offered Securities allocated among such Buyers based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased hereunder (the “Basic Amount”). The terms and conditions upon which any Offer of the Offered Securities pursuant to any Offer Notice shall be identical for each Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of the Transaction Agreements, each Buyer hereby acknowledges that any Offer Notice may constitute or contain material, non-public information, and each Buyer hereby consents to the receipt of any Offer Notice and any material, non-public information that may be included in an Offer Notice. If a Buyer notifies the Company that it does not consent to the receipt of any Offer Notices and any material, non-public information that may be included in an Offer Notice, then such Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in any Subsequent Placements, and the Company shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4(u).
(ii)
To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the second (2nd) Trading Day (as defined in the Notes) after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer, or an affiliate of such Buyer that it designates, elects to purchase and, if such Buyer or its designee shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the amount, if any, of the other Buyers’ allocations that such Buyer is offering to purchase in the event that such other Buyers do not elect to purchase their full Basic Amounts (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance” and such additional amounts such Buyer is offering to purchase in the event that such other Buyers do not elect to purchase their full Basic Amounts, the “Additional Offered Amounts”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the Buyers a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire at the end of the second (2nd) Trading Day following such Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
(iii)
The Company shall have two (2) Trading Days from the expiration of the Offer Period to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and to publicly announce (A) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement and (B) either (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement

34


 

or (ii) to the extent such termination constitutes material, non-public information, the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto. To the extent that a Buyer together with its other Attribution Parties’ participation in a Subsequent Placement would collectively cause such Buyer and its other Attribution Parties to be beneficially own (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act) in the aggregate in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of any voting class of the Company’s Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Subsequent Placement, the Company shall offer a pre-funded warrant (or such other common stock equivalent), to the Buyer to purchase the applicable Offered Securities in excess of the Maximum Percentage (the “Equivalent Security”), which such Equivalent Security shall contain a provision as related to the beneficial ownership limitation of such Equivalent Security.
(iv)
In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(u)(iii) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer or its designee elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(u)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers or their designees pursuant to Section 4(u)(iii) above prior to such reduction, but giving effect to the Refused Securities that the Company has determined not to issue, sell or exchange) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(u)(i) above.
(v)
Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Buyers or their designees shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(u)(iv) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company does not consummate the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company shall issue to the Buyers or their designees, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(u)(iv) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Buyers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Buyers and their respective counsel.

35


 

(vi)
Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other persons in accordance with Section 4(u)(iii) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Buyers under the procedures specified in this Section 4(u).
(vii)
The Company and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (A) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto shall include any term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Buyer prior to such Subsequent Placement or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company and (B) the Buyers or their designees shall be entitled to the same registration rights provided to other investors in the Subsequent Placement.
(viii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(u) and unless otherwise agreed to by the Buyers, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such second (2nd) Trading Day no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Buyers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, nonpublic information with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each Buyer with another Offer Notice and each Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(u)(viii). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver to the Buyers, in any thirty (30) day period, more than one such Offer Notice, other than the Offer Notices contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(u)(ii) of this Agreement.
(ix)
The restrictions contained in this Section 4(u) shall not apply in connection with any of the following: (A) restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards, Options or Convertible Securities issued under any Approved Stock Plan, (B) the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of Options or warrants, the settlement or vesting of restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards (including shares of Common Stock withheld by the Company for the purpose of paying on behalf of the holder thereof the exercise price of stock options or for paying taxes due as a result of such exercise or lapse of forfeiture restrictions), or the conversion of outstanding preferred stock or other outstanding Convertible Securities which are outstanding on the Closing Date or granted pursuant to an Approved Stock Plan after the Closing Date, (C) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit or through the ATM Sales Program (other than an issuance through the ATM Sales Agreement in which a single investor or group of related investors purchase in excess of ten (10) million dollars ($10,000,000.00) of Common Stock or in which the Common Stock is sold at a greater than five percent (5%) discount) or (D) the issuance of Common Stock

36


 

in connection with any arm’s length bona fide strategic or commercial alliances, acquisitions, mergers, licensing arrangements, and strategic partnerships, provided, that (x) the primary purpose of such issuance is not to raise capital as reasonably determined by the Company, and (y) the purchaser or acquirer or recipient of the securities in such issuance is not an entity whose primary business is investing in securities and is solely comprised of either (I) the actual participants in such strategic or commercial alliance, strategic or commercial licensing arrangement or strategic or commercial partnership, (II) the actual owners of such assets or securities acquired in such acquisition or merger or (III) the stockholders, partners, employees, consultants, officers, directors or members of the foregoing Persons, in each case, which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset, in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, and (z) the number or amount of securities issued to such Persons by the Company shall not be disproportionate to each such Person’s actual participation in (or fair market value of the contribution to) such strategic or commercial alliance or strategic or commercial partnership or ownership of such assets or securities to be acquired by the Company; provided, that such issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of such Options or Convertible Securities is made pursuant to the terms of either: (I) such Approved Stock Plan or (II) such Options or Convertible Securities in effect on the Closing Date and, in the case of (II), such Options or Convertible Securities are not amended, modified or changed on or after the Closing Date to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities.
(v)
Not an Underwriter. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Buyer as being an underwriter or potentially being an "underwriter" in any disclosure to, or filing with, the SEC, the NYSE or any other Eligible Market. No Buyer shall be required to agree or admit that it is, or may be, acting as an “underwriter” in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or agree to be named as an underwriter or as potentially being an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the NYSE or any other Eligible Market, nor shall any Buyer be required to make any representations to, or undertake any obligations to, the SEC in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company. Any Buyer being deemed an underwriter, or potentially to be an underwriter, by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In the event the staff of the SEC issues a comment regarding the status of the Buyer as an underwriter, if the Buyer does not choose to waive this covenant, during the pendency of such comment, no Liquidated Damages under Section 4(bb) shall be payable hereunder arising from the Buyer’s decision to not waive this covenant only, and no default or breach hereof or thereof shall result if the initial Resale Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC due only to such comment.
(w)
Establishment of ATM Sales Program or Equity Line of Credit. The Company shall (i) at all times have either an ATM Sales Agreement providing for an “at-the-market” offering within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time or an Equity Line of Credit in place; and (ii) ensure that at all times the ATM Program and Equity Line of Credit have available accessible aggregate capacity to generate gross proceeds to the Company of at least thirty million dollars ($30,000,000); provided that if at any time prior to July 1, 2026, the Company cannot satisfy the

37

The Buyers agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, brokers and representatives and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each a “Company Party” and collectively the “Company Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any Losses to which the Company Parties may become subject (under the 1933 Act or otherwise), insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Resale Registration Statement (or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof), if, and only to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Buyers specifically for use in preparation of a Resale Registration Statement, and the Buyers will, as incurred, reimburse each Company Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4(z) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Buyers upon their sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Resale Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(iii)
Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 4(z), such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled

40


 

to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(iv)
If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party.
(v)
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4(z) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of such Registrable Securities.
(aa)
Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 4(y) hereof shall cease and terminate, with respect to any Registrable Securities, upon such time as such Registrable Securities have been resold in a transaction pursuant to which all restrictive legends were removed from such securities.
(bb)
Registration Rights Damages. If after the initial Resale Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC, the Resale Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Resale Registration Statement, or the Buyers are otherwise not permitted to utilize such Resale Registration Statement therein to resell such Registrable Securities (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”), then, in addition to any other rights the Buyers may have hereunder, pursuant to the Notes or under applicable law, (i) the Company shall pay to each Buyer on the first (1st) Business Day after the applicable Event initially

41


 

occurs (the “Event Payment Date”) an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of two percent (2.0%) multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and (ii) additional liquidated damages (the “Liquidated Damages”) will automatically accrue on the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at a rate per annum equal to twenty-four percent (24.0%), from, and including, the Event Payment Date, to, but excluding the date that the initial Resale Registration Statement or any other effective Resale Registration Statement is available for the resale of the Registrable Securities and all outstanding Liquidated Damages have been paid; provided, however, that Liquidated Damages with respect to any suspension or termination of a Resale Registration Statement following initial effectiveness shall be payable only through the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Liquidated Damages begin to accrue. Liquidated Damages calculated hereunder will be computed on the basis of a three-hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months and will be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) each one (1) month anniversary following the Event Payment Date and (ii) the Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes).
(cc)
Lock-Up Agreements. The Company shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of thereof, as applicable. In addition, the Company shall not consent to any actions under the Lock-Up Agreement that would require the consent of the Company.
5.
REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
(a)
Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Securities in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Securities have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the aggregate amount of the Notes and the Warrants held by such Person and the number of Underlying Shares issuable pursuant to the Notes and the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives. This provision shall be construed such that the Securities are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meanings of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b)
Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable) (the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to credit shares to each such Buyer’s (or its designee’s) account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) System, provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and the shares are then eligible for transfer through the DWAC System, or, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or if the shares are not then eligible for transfer through the DWAC system, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address and/or account, as applicable, as specified in (i) the exercise notice of the Warrants or a Forced Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrant) or (ii) the notice that the Company is electing to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Notes or that the Buyers are electing to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Notes, a certificate, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee, for the applicable number of Underlying

42


 

Shares to which the Buyer is entitled, for the applicable Underlying Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company or the Buyers, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of the Notes or the exercise of the Warrants, as applicable. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of any Note Shares in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Private Placement Securities sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such Private Placement Securities to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.
(c)
Reserved.
(d)
Private Placement Securities Legends. Each Buyer understands that the Notes have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Note Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth herein, the Private Placement Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against any transfer of such stock certificates in violation of the applicable legend):

Note Legend

THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF NEITHER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES THAT MAY BE ISSUABLE PURSUANT TO THIS NOTE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. UNTIL THE DATE THAT IS ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE ISSUE DATE (AS DEFINED ON THE REVERSE OF THIS NOTE), THE SECURITIES MAY

43


 

NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS-DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

Note Shares Legend

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

(e)
Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing the Private Placement Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(d) or any other legend (i) following any sale of such Private Placement Securities pursuant to a registration statement covering the resale of such Private Placement Securities that is effective under the 1933 Act upon delivery to the transfer agent of related certifications, (ii) following any sale of such Private Placement Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), provided that a Buyer furnishes the Company with a certification if and as may reasonably be requested by the Company stating that such Buyer has held the Private Placement Securities for six (6) months (or otherwise complied with the applicable holding period in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act) and is not an affiliate of the Company, which such certification shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s counsel, (iii) if such Private Placement Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 free of the current public information reporting requirement contained in Rule 144(c)(1), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Private Placement Securities may be made without registration under the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act, or (v) if a legend is not required under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than one (1) Business Day following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Private Placement Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be reasonably required above in this Section 5(e) (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), as directed by such Buyer, either: (A) in the case of Common Stock, provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the applicable number of shares of

44


 

Common Stock to which such Buyer shall be entitled to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its DWAC system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee. The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Private Placement Securities in accordance herewith and the Buyer shall not be required to deliver or cause to be delivered a legal opinion in connection with a sale of such Private Placement Securities pursuant to Rule 144.
(f)
If the Company or the Transfer Agent fails to deliver shares to a Buyer or an applicable assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 2(f) or Section 5(e), then in addition to such Buyer’s other available remedies hereunder, the Company shall pay to such Buyer, in cash, (1) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Warrants) on the date that the Buyer delivered notice of its entitlement to such shares of Common Stock on the date such Buyer delivers notice or a legended certificate, as applicable, to the Company or the Transfer Agent) for which the Company or the Transfer Agent fails to deliver shares without any restrictive legend an amount equal to $10 per Trading Day through the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such undelivered shares are delivered without a legend; and (2) if the Company is obligated to remove the restrictive legends pursuant to Section 5(d) but fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) shares to a Buyer by the Legend Removal Date that are free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date a Buyer purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in settlement of a sale by the Buyer of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, that the Buyer anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then an amount equal to the excess of the Buyer’s aggregate purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the Buyer by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(f) shall not be duplicative with any provisions in the Notes addressing any failure to deliver shares without restrictive legends.
(g)
FAST Compliance. While the Notes or the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a stock transfer agent that participates in FAST.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof. A party’s electronic signature (complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by the party’s hand.

(c)
Headings; Gender; Interpretation. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d)
Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

51


 

(e)
Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders, and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents and all holders of the Securities. From the date hereof and while any Securities are outstanding, the Company shall not be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of the Securities that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company or any Subsidiary (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of the Securities in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of the Securities, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of the Securities in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of the Securities that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any

52


 

Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, any Subsidiary or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to purchase the Securities at the Closing, and (II) on or after the Closing Date, holders of a majority of the Shares and the Underlying Shares in the aggregate as of such time issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Notes or the Warrants, as applicable; provided that such majority must include [ ], so long as [ ] or any of its affiliates hold any Notes or Warrants.
(f)
Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent e-mail is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s e-mail server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) electronically generated by the sender’s e-mail or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by e-mail or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

(g)
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Securities. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Change or a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Changes set forth in the Notes). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, provided such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof that apply to Buyers in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(h)
No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Sections 4(bb) and 9(k).
(i)
Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j)
Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k)
Indemnification.
(i)
In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and

54


 

hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith), or (B) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith or as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to a Buyer or its related Indemnitees to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises primarily out of or is based primarily upon the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by such Buyer herein. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
(ii)
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above

55


 

the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such Indemnified Liability. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitees against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
(l)
Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.
(m)
Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by

56


 

law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
(n)
Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any Subsidiary does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided or if no period is prescribed, within a reasonable period of time, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o)
Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.
(p)
Judgment Currency.
(i)
If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:

57


 

(A)
the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or
(B)
the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(B) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).
(ii)
If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(i)(B), there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii)
Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(q)
Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not because it was required or

58


 

requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each Subsidiary and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.
(r)
Performance Date. If the date by which any obligation under any of the Transaction Documents must be performed occurs on a day other than a Business Day, then the date by which such performance is required shall be the next Business Day following such date.
(s)
Enforcement Fees. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Buyers incurred as a result of enforcement of the Transaction Documents and the collection of any amounts owed to the Buyers hereunder (whether in cash, equity or otherwise), including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(t)
Collateral Agent.
(i)
Appointment; Authorization. The Buyers, together with any successors or assigns thereof, hereby irrevocably appoint, designate and authorize [ ] as collateral agent to take such action on their behalf under the provisions of the Notes, each Security Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of each Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 9(t) are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and the Company shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Security Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.
(ii)
Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Affiliates (as defined in the Notes), partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives, or the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Related Parties”). The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9(t) shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

59


 

(iii)
Exculpatory Provisions.
(A)
The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Security Documents, and its duties shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth in the Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(B)
The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Collateral Agent in writing by the Company.
(C)
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Notes, any Security Document, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Notes, any Security Document, any other Transaction Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes, the Security Documents or any other Transaction Document, or (e) any failure of the Company or any other party to the Notes, any Security Agreement, any Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes, the Security Documents or the Transaction Documents to perform its obligations thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Notes, any Security Document, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes, the Security Documents or the other Transaction Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
(iv)
Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not

60


 

be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
(v)
Successor Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as the Collateral Agent at any time upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Buyers and the Company. If the Collateral Agent resigns under the Notes, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor agent. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint a successor Collateral Agent on behalf of the Buyers after consulting with the Buyers.

The Collateral Agent shall have the right, in accordance with the Security Documents to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Collateral Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and setoff the amount of such price against the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement).

Upon the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise (the “Exercise Date”, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate

4


 

purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within one (1) Trading Day following delivery of the Notice of Exercise; and provided further, that the Holder shall be deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such Warrant Shares that may arise during the period commencing on such Exercise Date, through, and including, such applicable Warrant Share Delivery Date, as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any Common Stock (including such Warrant Shares) beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties, collectively, shall not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) as a result of any such exercise of this Warrant. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a registrar (which may be the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”)) that is a participant in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than any such failure that is solely due to any action by the Holder with respect to such delivery of Warrant Shares), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of

5


 

Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either (x) pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or (y) round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

(viii) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with (i) the Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the

6


 

Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (collectively “Common Stock Equivalents”)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d)(viii), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d)(viii) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 2(d)(viii), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the prior Business Day. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d)(viii), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d)(viii) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d)(viii) to correct this paragraph (or any portion

7


 

hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. If the Warrant is unexercisable as a result of the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, no alternate consideration is owing to the Holder.

(e) Forced Exercise. If the Forced Exercise Trigger occurs, then the Company may, at its sole discretion, deliver written notice to the Holder (a “Forced Exercise Notice”) requiring the Holder to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant (a “Forced Exercise”) (i) for cash, if at the time the Forced Exercise Notice is delivered there is an effective registration statement registering, and the prospectus contained therein is available for, the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares, or (ii) otherwise, by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c), and certifying that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied on the date the Forced Exercise Notice was delivered to the Holder; provided that (x) no Forced Exercise will be effected unless the Equity Conditions are satisfied on each Trading Day from the date of the Forced Exercise Notice until the corresponding Warrant Shares are delivered by the Company, (y) if the Company receives a Notice of Exercise prior to the date the Company delivers a Forced Exercise Notice and any Warrant Shares due thereunder remain undelivered by the Company, the Forced Exercise may not occur until after such Warrant Shares are delivered to the Holder and (z) the number of Warrant Shares subject to any Forced Exercise shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder exercised pursuant to any voluntary Notices of Exercise delivered prior to the Forced Exercise Date. The Forced Exercise shall be effective as of the date the Forced Exercise Notice is delivered to the Holder (the “Forced Exercise Date”), and the Company shall deliver the applicable Warrant Shares as if the Holder had delivered a Notice of Exercise on the Forced Exercise Date using the applicable settlement method. The Company may not deliver more than one notice, whether a Forced Exercise Notice with respect to this Warrant or a Forced Conversion Notice with respect to the Convertible Note, in any rolling ten (10) Trading Day period.

3. Certain Adjustments.

(a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock or any other equity or Common Stock Equivalents payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant remains unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had

8


 

held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant and delivered (in proportionate part in the case of a partial exercise) together with the applicable Warrant Shares if and when the Warrant is exercised.

(d) Fundamental Transaction. If (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of shares of Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent

9


 

exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d)(viii) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d)(viii) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, as described below, an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of (1) the 30 day volatility, (2) the 100 day volatility or (3) the 365 day volatility, each of clauses (1)-(3) as obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365-day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(d) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later,

10


 

on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of whether (i) the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares; (ii) a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date; and/or (iii) the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) has been obtained .

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share of Common Stock, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(f) Notice to Holder.

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets,

11


 

or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

(g) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. At any time, subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market and applicable law, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

4. Transfer of Warrant.

(a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the

12


 

names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Currency. All dollar amounts referred to in this Warrant are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”). All amounts owing under this Warrant shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Warrant, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (New York edition) on the relevant date of calculation.

(b) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(d) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

(e) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period that the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued and delivered, as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon

13


 

exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

(f) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

(g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not Freely Tradable, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state, federal or foreign securities laws.

(h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Securities Exchange Agreement.

(j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

14


 

(k) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

(m) Amendment. Other than Section 2(d)(viii) and this Section 5(m), which may not be modified, amended or waived, this Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

SURF AIR MOBILITY INC.

 

Warrant Shares: [ ]

Original Issuance Date: [ ], 2025

 

THIS WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [ ], or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time or times on or after the Original Issuance Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the two year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Surf Air Mobility Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to
[ ] shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “
Common Stock”), of the Company (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2025, among the Company, the Holder and the other Buyers party thereto.

2. Exercise.

(a) Exercise of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(c), exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within one (1) Trading Day following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting

 


 

in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise on the Trading Day of receipt of such notice if received before 4:30 PM (Eastern Time) or the following Trading Day if received thereafter. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant, shall be $[ ] per share, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A)
= as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (x) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (y) the highest Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) within two (2) hours of the time of the Holder’s delivery of the Notice of Exercise pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof if such Notice of Exercise is delivered during “regular trading hours,” or within two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after two (2) hours following the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B)
= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing trade price, respectively, for such security on the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing trade price then the last trade price, of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last trade price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last trade price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the OTC Link or on the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc.

All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

Eligible Exchange” means any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NYSE American LLC, The Nasdaq Capital Market, The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors).

(d) Mechanics of Exercise

(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and the Warrant Shares are Freely Tradable, and otherwise by physical delivery of the Warrant Shares, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise (the “Exercise Date”, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate

4


 

purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within one (1) Trading Day following delivery of the Notice of Exercise; and provided further, that the Holder shall be deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such Warrant Shares that may arise during the period commencing on such Exercise Date, through, and including, such applicable Warrant Share Delivery Date, as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any Common Stock (including such Warrant Shares) beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties, collectively, shall not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) as a result of any such exercise of this Warrant. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a registrar (which may be the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”)) that is a participant in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than any such failure that is solely due to any action by the Holder with respect to such delivery of Warrant Shares), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of

5


 

Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either (x) pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or (y) round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

(viii) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with (i) the Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the

6


 

Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (collectively “Common Stock Equivalents”)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d)(viii), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d)(viii) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the responsibility of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation to the Company that this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, verify or confirm the accuracy of such representation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 2(d)(viii), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the prior Business Day. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d)(viii) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. If the Warrant is unexercisable as a result of the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, no alternate consideration is owing to the Holder.

7


 

(e) Forced Exercise. If the Forced Exercise Trigger occurs, then the Company may, at its sole discretion, deliver written notice to the Holder (a “Forced Exercise Notice”) requiring the Holder to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant (a “Forced Exercise”) (i) for cash, if at the time the Forced Exercise Notice is delivered there is an effective registration statement registering, and the prospectus contained therein is available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares, or (ii) otherwise, by cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2(c), and certifying that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied on the date the Forced Exercise Notice was delivered to the Holder; provided that (x) no Forced Exercise will be effected unless the Equity Conditions are satisfied on each Trading Day from the date of the Forced Exercise Notice until the corresponding Warrant Shares are delivered by the Company, (y) if the Company receives a Notice of Exercise prior to the date the Company delivers a Forced Exercise Notice and any Warrant Shares due thereunder remain undelivered by the Company, the Forced Exercise may not occur until after such Warrant Shares are delivered to the Holder and (z) the number of Warrant Shares subject to any Forced Exercise shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder exercised pursuant to any voluntary Notices of Exercise delivered prior to the Forced Exercise Date. The Forced Exercise shall be effective as of the date the Forced Exercise Notice is delivered to the Holder (the “Forced Exercise Date”), and the Company shall deliver the applicable Warrant Shares as if the Holder had delivered a Notice of Exercise on the Forced Exercise Date using the applicable settlement method. The Company may not deliver more than one Forced Exercise Notice in any rolling ten (10) Trading Day period.

3. Certain Adjustments.

(a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of Common Stock or any other equity or Common Stock Equivalents payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant remains unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such

8


 

Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant and delivered (in proportionate part in the case of a partial exercise) together with the applicable Warrant Shares if and when the Warrant is exercised.

(d) Fundamental Transaction. If (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of shares of Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d)(viii) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d)(viii) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any

9


 

such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, as described below, an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of (1) the 30 day volatility, (2) the 100 day volatility or (3) the 365 day volatility, each of clauses (1)-(3) as obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365-day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(d) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent

10


 

to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of whether (i) the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares; and/or (ii) a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share of Common Stock, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(f) Notice to Holder.

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price.

(a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

12


 

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

(d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements permitted pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provide to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of this Warrant under the Securities Act.

(e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that (i) it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and (ii) it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Currency. All dollar amounts referred to in this Warrant are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”). All amounts owing under this Warrant shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Warrant, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (New York edition) on the relevant date of calculation.

(b) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

(d) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

13


 

(e) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period that the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued and delivered, as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

(f) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

(g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not Freely Tradable, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state, federal or foreign securities laws.

(h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Securities Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

14


 

(i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Securities Exchange Agreement.

(j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(k) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

(m) Amendment. Other than Section 2(d)(viii) and this Section 5(m), which may not be modified, amended or waived, this Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Conversions in Part. Subject to the terms of this Section 7, this Note may be converted in part, but only in an Authorized Denomination. Provisions of this Section 7 applying to the conversion of this Note in whole will equally apply to conversions of any permitted portion of this Note.
(A)
When this Note May Be Converted.
(i)
Generally. The Holder may convert this Note at any time until the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder’s right to convert this Note shall not be impacted by a prior notice or election to defer any Partial Redemption Payment delivered by the Holder pursuant to Section 4(A) hereof.
(ii)
Limitations and Closed Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, if this Note (or any portion of this Note) is to be repurchased upon a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, then in no event may this Note (or such portion) be converted after the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided, that the limitations contained in this Section 7(B)(ii) shall no longer apply to this Note (or such applicable portion) if the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is not delivered on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in accordance with Section 6.
(C)
Conversion Procedures.
(i)
Generally. To convert this Note, the Holder must complete, sign and deliver to the Company the conversion notice attached to this Note on Exhibit A or portable document format (.pdf) version of such conversion notice (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable) (a “Holder Conversion Notice”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder Conversion Notice may be delivered by e-mail in accordance with Section 13. If the Company fails to deliver, by the related Conversion Settlement Date, any shares of Common Stock forming part of the Conversion Consideration of the conversion of this Note, the Holder, by notice to the Company, may rescind all or any portion of the corresponding Holder Conversion Notice at any time until such Undelivered Shares are delivered.
(ii)
Holder of Record of Conversion Consideration. The person in whose name any shares of Common Stock is issuable pursuant to this Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion, conferring, as of such time, upon such person, without limitation, all voting and other rights appurtenant to such shares; provided, that the Holder shall be

27


 

deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder that may arise during the period commencing on such Conversion Date, through, and including, such applicable Conversion Settlement Date, as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any shares of Common Stock (including such shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder) beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties, collectively, on any such record date shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage as a result of any such conversion of this Note.
(iii)
Taxes and Duties. If the Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon such conversion; provided, however, that if any tax or duty is due because such Holder requested such shares to be issued in a name other than that of such Holder, then such Holder will pay such tax or duty and, until having received a sum sufficient to pay such tax or duty, the Company may refuse to deliver any such shares to be issued in a name other than that of such Holder.
(D)
Right of Company to Convert the Note.
(i)
Generally. If the Forced Conversion Trigger occurs, then, the Company may provide written notice to the Holder in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Company Conversion Notice”) electing to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount into Conversion Consideration (a “Forced Conversion”) and certifying that the Forced Conversion Equity Conditions have been satisfied on each of the twenty (20) consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the twenty (20) VWAP Trading Day period ending on and including the date the Company Conversion Notice was delivered to the Holder (the “Forced Conversion Measurement Period”); provided that (A) no Forced Conversion will be effected unless the Forced Conversion Equity Conditions are satisfied on each VWAP Trading Day from the date of the Company Conversion Notice until the corresponding Conversion Consideration is delivered, (B) if the Company receives a Holder Conversion Notice prior to the date the Company delivers the Company Conversion Notice and any Conversion Consideration due thereunder remain undelivered by the Company, the Forced Conversion may not occur until after such Conversion Consideration is delivered to the Holder, (C) the Principal Amount subject to such Forced Conversion shall (i) not be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) the remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note, but (ii) shall not be greater than the product of two and one half (2.5) and the average daily dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the Forced Conversion Measurement Period, (D) the Principal Amount subject to a Forced Conversion shall be subject to reduction by any Principal Amount for which the Holder has submitted a Holder Conversion Notice between the time that the Company provided a Company Conversion Notice to the Holder and the completion of such Forced Conversion, (E) the Company may not deliver more than one notice, whether a Forced Exercise Notice with respect to any Warrant (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), a Forced Conversion Notice with respect to this Note or a Company Redemption Notice, in any rolling ten (10) Trading Day period.
(ii)
Effect of Forced Conversion. A Forced Conversion will have the same

28


 

effect as a conversion of the applicable outstanding Principal Amount of a Note effected at a Holder’s election pursuant to Section 7(A) with a Conversion Date occurring on the Business Day upon which the Company Conversion Notice is delivered to the Holder (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the conditions set forth in Section 7(D)(i) are satisfied on such date) and a Conversion Settlement Date occurring on the Business Day referred to in Section 7(E)(iv).
(E)
Settlement upon Conversion.
(i)
Generally. The consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of each one thousand dollars ($1,000) Principal Amount of this Note, including any portion constituting a Partial Redemption Payment required to be paid by the Company on the next Partial Redemption Date or any outstanding Deferred Partial Redemption Payment, to be converted will consist of the following:
(1)
subject to Section 7(E)(iii), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion; and
(2)
cash in an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Default Interest on this Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Settlement Date for such conversion.
(ii)
[Reserved.]
(iii)
Fractional Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock due in respect of any conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 7, including any portion constituting a Partial Redemption Payment required to be paid by the Company on the next Partial Redemption Date or any outstanding Deferred Partial Redemption Payment, will be determined on the basis of the total Principal Amount of this Note to be converted with the same Conversion Date; provided, however, that if such number of shares of Common Stock is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
(iv)
Delivery of the Conversion Consideration. The Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of this Note, including any portion constituting a Partial Redemption Payment required to be paid by the Company on the next Partial Redemption Date or any outstanding Deferred Partial Redemption Payment, to the Holder on or before the first (1st) Business Day on which the Common Stock is traded) immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion (the “Conversion Settlement Date”).
(v)
Company Failure to Timely Deliver Stock Payments. If (x) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason (other than failure by the Holder to cooperate in settlement or the operation of Section 7(J)(i)) on or prior to the applicable Conversion Settlement Date to deliver shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 7(C) or Section 7(D) (such shares to which Holder is entitled referred to as the “Undelivered Shares”); and (y) the Holder (whether directly or indirectly, including by any broker acting on the Holder’s behalf or acting with respect to such Undelivered Shares) purchases any shares of Common Stock (whether in the open market or otherwise) to cover any such Undelivered Shares (whether to satisfy any settlement obligations with respect thereto of

29


 

the Holder or otherwise), then, without limiting the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedy available to it (whether hereunder, under applicable law or otherwise), the Holder will have the right, exercisable by notice to the Company, to cause the Company to either:
(1)
pay, on or before the first (1st) Business Day after the date such notice is delivered, cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price (including any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket costs) incurred to purchase such shares (such aggregate purchase price, the “Covering Price”); or
(2)
promptly deliver, to the Holder, such Undelivered Shares in accordance with this Note, together with cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Covering Price over the product of (x) the number of such Undelivered Shares; and (y) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date relating to such conversion.

To exercise such right, the Holder must deliver notice of such exercise to the Company, specifying whether the Holder has elected clause (1) or (2) above to apply. If the Holder has elected clause (1) to apply, then the Company’s obligation to deliver the Undelivered Shares in accordance with this Note will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged to the extent the Company has paid the Covering Price in accordance with clause (1). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver Common Stock to the Holder by the applicable Conversion Settlement Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each one thousand dollars ($1,000) of Undelivered Shares (based on the Daily VWAP on the applicable Conversion Settlement Date), ten dollars ($10) per Trading Day through the earlier of (x) the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) and (y) the date that the cash amount set forth in Section 7(E)(v)(1) is paid to the Holder or the shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Holder pursuant to Section 7(E)(v)(2).

 

(vi)
Effect of Conversion. If this Note is converted in full or in part, then, from and after the date the Conversion Consideration therefor is issued or delivered in settlement of such conversion, this Note or the relevant part thereof will cease to be outstanding and all interest will cease to accrue on this Note or such part.
(F)
Status of Common Stock Issued upon Conversion.
(i)
Status of Conversion Consideration; Listing. Each share of Common Stock delivered pursuant to this Note will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any Lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any Lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder or the Person to whom such share will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer

30


 

quotation system, then the Company will cause each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Note, when delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Note, if such shares of Common Stock are Freely Tradeable at the time (and, in the case of shares delivered upon conversion while this Note bears a restricted legend, such shares are resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement), will be issued in the form of book-entries at the facilities of DTC or, otherwise, will be issued in the form of book-entries on the records of the Transfer Agent.
(ii)
Transferability of Conversion Consideration. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Note, if issued by the Company upon resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, will be identified therein by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.
(G)
Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.
(i)
Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(1)
Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

img12711041_0.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable;

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and

 

31


 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

 

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 7(G)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

 

(2)
Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, Options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which the provisions set forth in Sections 7(G)(i)(3)(a) and 7(G)(vii) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased (and for the avoidance of doubt shall never be decreased) based on the following formula:

img12711041_1.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, Options or warrants; and

 

Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, Options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading

32


 

Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.

 

For purposes of this Section 7(G)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, Options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, Options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, Options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, Options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

 

(3)
Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.
(a)
Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, Options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(v) dividends, distributions, rights, Options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(1) or Section 7(G)(i)(2);

 

(w) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(4);

 

(x) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 7(G)(vii);

 

(y) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b); and

 

(z) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply,

 

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_2.jpg

 

33


 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

 

FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, Options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;

 

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by this Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, Options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

 

 

(b)
Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 7(I) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_3.jpg

 

where:

34


 

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

FMV = the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and

 

SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

 

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(3)(b) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the first (1st) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period on which the Common Stock is traded).

 

(4)
Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_4.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

35


 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

 

D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;

 

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note held by the Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

 

(5)
Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

img12711041_5.jpg

 

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

 

AC = the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer;

 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

36


 

 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

 

SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;

 

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7(G)(i)(5) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the first (1st) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

 

(ii)
[Reserved.]
(iii)
[Reserved.]
(iv)
No Adjustments in Certain Cases.
(1)
Where the Holder Participates in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7(G)(i), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(1) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 7(G)(i)(5)) if the Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being the Holder of this Note, in such transaction or event without having to convert this Note and as if the Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of this Note held by this Holder on such date.
(2)
Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 7(G) and Section 7(I). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:
(a)
except as otherwise provided in Section 7(G), the sale of

37


 

shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;
(b)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;
(c)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, restricted stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(d)
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) in connection with the separation of rights under the Company’s stockholder rights plan existing, if any, as of the Issue Date);
(e)
repurchases of shares of Common Stock, including structured or derivative transactions, that are not pursuant to a tender offer as contemplated by Section 7(G)(i)(5);
(f)
solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(g)
accrued and unpaid interest on this Note.
(v)
Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:
(1)
this Note is to be converted;
(2)
the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;
(3)
the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and
(4)
such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the

38


 

Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the first (1st) Business Day after such first date.

 

(vi)
Conversion Rate Adjustments where the Converting Holder Participates in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, if:
(1)
a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 7(G)(i);
(2)
a Note is to be converted;
(3)
the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;
(4)
the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and
(5)
such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 7(C)(ii)),

then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

 

(vii)
Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Note upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i)(3)(a) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.
(viii)
Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) or Section 7(I) to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

39


 

(ix)
Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.
(x)
Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 7(G), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).
(xi)
Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
(xii)
Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G)(i), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holder containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.
(H)
Voluntary Adjustments.
(i)
Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate on any portion of this Note for any period of time by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event and (ii) such increase is irrevocable during such period. The Company and the Holder agree that any such voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate and any conversion of any portion of the Note based upon any such voluntary adjustment shall not constitute material non-public information with respect to the Company.
(ii)
Notice of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(H)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day following such determination, the Company will send notice to the Holder of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.
(I)
Effect of Certain Recapitalizations, Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers and

40


 

Sales.
(i)
Generally. If there occurs any:
(1)
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);
(2)
consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;
(3)
sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or
(4)
other similar event,

and, in each case, as a result of such occurrence, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities or other property (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, at the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (x) the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 7 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (y) for purposes of Section 7(A), each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (z) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the term “ Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property. For these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

 

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of

41


 

the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

 

At or before the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such instruments or agreements that (x) provides for subsequent conversions of this Note in the manner set forth in this Section 7(I); (y) provides for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7(G) or Section 7(H) in a manner consistent with this Section 7(I); and (z) contains such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 7(I). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such instruments or agreements and such instruments or agreements will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder.

 

(ii)
Notice of Common Stock Change Events. As soon as practicable after public announcement of the anticipated or actual effective date of any Common Stock Change Event, the Company will provide written notice to the Holder of such Common Stock Change Event, including a brief description of such Common Stock Change Event, its anticipated effective date and a brief description of the anticipated change in the conversion right of this Note.
(iii)
Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 7(I).
(J)
Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, or otherwise issue shares pursuant to this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion or issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any

42


 

of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 7(J)(i). For purposes of this Section 7(J)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Note, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire in connection with this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a notice from the Holder related to the conversion of this Note or any issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with this Note at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 7(J)(i), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the prior Business Day. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder's and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any Other Holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned

43


 

by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note or receive shares pursuant to this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(J)(i) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 7(J)(i) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 8.
Affirmative and Negative Covenants.
(A)
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Transaction Documents; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by the Transaction Documents, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
(B)
Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 9, the Company will cause to preserve and keep in full force and effect:
(i)
its corporate existence and the corporate existence of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable; and
(ii)
the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect any such rights (charter and statutory), license or franchise or existence of any of its Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Holder.

(C)
Ranking. All payments due under this Note shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of the Company and senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness in right of payment.
(D)
Indebtedness; Amendments to Indebtedness. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to: (a) create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness; (b) prepay any Indebtedness except (i) by the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities (other than Disqualified Stock), (ii) the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion, (iii) prepayments

44


 

of the GEM Mandatory Security, the LamVen Note and the PFG Facility as set forth therein, and, in each case, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) prepayments with respect to the KORE Facility in the ordinary course of business and (v) prepayments of accounts payable in the ordinary course of business; or (c) amend or modify any documents or notes evidencing any Indebtedness in a manner materially adverse to the Holder without the consent of the Required Holders (it being understood that each of the following actions shall be considered materially adverse to the Holder: (i) any increase in the principal amount of such Indebtedness (other than an increase in Modified LamVen Note not in excess of the cap set forth in clause (E) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”), (ii) any increase in the interest rate applicable to such Indebtedness (other than the institution of any default rate interest applicable thereto), (iii) any shortening of the maturity of such Indebtedness, (iv) any addition of new amortization payments or increase of existing amortization payments of such Indebtedness, (v) any increase in the scope of collateral securing such Indebtedness, (vi) any change to the lien priority or subordination of such Indebtedness or (vii) the inclusion of any new mandatory prepayment that could lead to such Indebtedness becoming due before the Maturity Date of this Note); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to (i) amend the Modified LamVen Note to increase the principal amount thereof to the extent otherwise permitted by the terms of this Note and (ii) make amendments to Indebtedness described in clause (K) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to incur any Indebtedness that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including without limitation, the payment of interest and principal thereon.
(E)
Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, permit or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.
(F)
Investments. The Company shall not directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do, other than Permitted Investments; provided that the Company may not make any Investment (including a Permitted Investment) or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any Investment (including a Permitted Investment) if (i) any Event of Default has occurred hereunder and has not been waived by the Required Holders or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default with respect to Section 10(A)(ii), Section 10(A)(iii), Section 10(A)(iv), Section 10(A)(v), Section 10(A)(vii), Section 10(A)(x), Section 10(A)(xii), Section 10(A)(xiv) or Section 10(A)(xvii).
(G)
Distributions. The Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, (a) repurchase or redeem any class of stock or other Equity Interest other than pursuant to employee, director or consultant repurchase plans or other similar agreements provided under plans approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however, in each case the repurchase or redemption price does not exceed the original consideration paid for such stock or Equity Interest, or (b) declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other Equity Interest, except that a Subsidiary of the Company may pay dividends or make distributions to the Company or a parent company that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, or (c) lend money to any employees, officers or directors (except as permitted under clause (F) of the definition of Permitted Investment), or guarantee the payment of any such loans granted by a third

45


 

party in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate or (d) waive, release or forgive any Indebtedness owed by any employees, officers or directors in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate. If there are dividends or distributions made by the Company or any Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary of the Company paying dividends or making distributions to the Company or a parent company that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company the assets of which are subject to a Lien in favor of the Holder pursuant to the Security Agreements), within one (1) Business Day following the date on which the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Commission, the Company will provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of dividends or distributions made by the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 8(G) for the period covered by such Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other Equity Interest if (A) any Event of Default has occurred hereunder and has not been waived by the Required Holders or (B) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default with respect to Section 10(A)(ii), Section 10(A)(iii), Section 10(A)(iv), Section 10(A)(v), Section 10(A)(vii), Section 10(A)(x), Section 10(A)(xii), Section 10(A)(xiv) or Section 10(A)(xvii), other than a Subsidiary of the Company paying dividends or making distributions to the Company or a parent company that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, the assets of which are subject to a Lien in favor of the Holder pursuant to the Security Agreement.
(H)
Transfers. The Company shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, voluntarily or involuntarily transfer, sell, lease, license, lend or in any other manner convey any equitable, beneficial or legal interest in any material portion of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), except for Permitted Transfers and Permitted Investments.
(I)
Taxes. Other than with respect to any taxes, fees and charges listed on Schedule 3(ee) to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective assets or upon their ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon their rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all personal property tax returns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which they maintain adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP and (ii) shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 8(I) in respect of any tax delinquency so long as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, contests, remediates or enters into negotiations with respect to such tax delinquency and establishes adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP, in each case, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof.
(J)

46


 

a Control Agreement entered into in favor of the Collateral Agent (each, a “Controlled Account”) in a minimum amount equal to (A) on or prior to the date of the Collateral Agent’s receipt of the Closing Date Letter of Credit and satisfaction therewith (as determined in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion), $40,000,000, (B) when the Collateral Agent is in possession of the Closing Date Letter of Credit, $10,000,000 and (C) if the Company or Park Lane request a modification of the Closing Date Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of Section 22 hereof, at any time prior to the date that the Collateral Agent returns the Closing Date Letter of Credit to the issuer thereof for modification and until the date upon which the Collateral Agent has received the modified Closing Date Letter of Credit, the sum of $10,000,000 plus the full amount of L/C Availability at the time of such request (it being understood and agreed that any amount in excess of $10,000,000 included in the foregoing sum shall be funded by Park Lane and not by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); provided, that such Control Agreements shall (x) be “holder directed” Control Agreements that do not provide the Company or its Subsidiaries access to the amounts in any such Controlled Accounts and only permit funds to be released from such Controlled Accounts upon the direction of the Collateral Agent and (y) require that all investment elections regarding such Controlled Account shall be made only by the Collateral Agent; provided, further, that at any time when the amounts in such Controlled Accounts exceed the amounts required to be in such Controlled Accounts pursuant to this Note, so long as no Event of Default has occurred that has not been waived, the Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon the Company’s written request (which request may not be made more than two (2) times in any calendar month), remit any excess amount to the Company or the Company’s designee as the Company may direct.
(ii)
On or prior to the first (1st) Business Day of each month (or, if requested by the Holder in its sole discretion, within two (2) Business Days of such request or, if earlier, immediately in the event an Event of Default has occurred as a result of a breach of Section 8(D), Section 8(E), Section 8(F), Section 8(G), Section 8(H), Section 8(J)(i), Section 8(Q), Section 8(W), or Section 8(X)), the Company shall provide to the Holder a certification, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, certifying whether or not the Company has satisfied the requirements of Section 8(D), Section 8(E), Section 8(F), Section 8(G), Section 8(H), Section 8(J)(i), Section 8(Q), Section 8(W), or Section 8(X) during the immediately preceding calendar month (a “Compliance Certification”). If the Company determines in its sole discretion that such information constitutes material non-public information, then the Company will so indicate in the certification provided pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Company will concurrently disclose such material non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise.
(K)
Change in Nature of Business. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries on the Issue Date or any business substantially related or incidental thereto.
(L)
Maintenance of Properties, Etc. The Company shall maintain and preserve, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, all of its properties which

47


 

are necessary or material (as determined by the Company in good faith) to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply at all times in all material respects with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.
(M)

The Company will take, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to take, all actions necessary or advisable to maintain and preserve all of the Intellectual Property Rights (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Company or such Subsidiary in each case that are necessary or material (as determined by the Company in good faith) to the conduct of its business in full force and effect.
(N)
Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall maintain, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations, in such amounts and covering such risks as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated.
(O)
Transactions with Affiliates. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, shall enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any affiliate (other than the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries), except transactions for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an affiliate thereof.
(P)
Restricted Issuances. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, (i) issue any Notes (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or (ii) issue any other securities or incur any Indebtedness, in each case, that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or that by its terms would prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including, without limitation, the payment of principal thereon.
(Q)
Share Reserve. Upon the issuance of the Note, the Company shall have initially reserved and maintained no fewer than sixty million (60,000,000) shares of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance upon (i) the conversion of the Note, all Other Notes, and, if applicable, the New Note, and (ii) the exercise of any warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Holder shall have the sole and absolute discretion to require the Company to increase the Required Reserve Amount at any time and from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Required Reserve Amount shall not be decreased at any time, except in connection with a stock combination, reverse stock split, or other similar corporate action resulting in a proportional adjustment to the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of

48


 

an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.
(R)
[Reserved].
(S)
Upon delivery by the Company to the Holder (or receipt by the Company from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such notice delivery date, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the Company immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 8(S) shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(T)
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is not a fiduciary or agent of the Company, the Holder will not have any obligations hereunder except those obligations expressly set forth herein (and in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the Holder is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the Note and not as a fiduciary or agent of the Company. The Company agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Holder based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Holder in connection with the Note. The Company acknowledges that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.
(U)
[Reserved.]
(V)
The Company shall pay when due any and all fees and expenses owed by it under all deposit accounts located in the United States and subject to a Control Agreement entered into in favor of the Collateral Agent.
(W)
(i) On or prior to the date seven (7) days after the Issue Date, the Company shall cause the delivery of the Closing Date Letter of Credit to the Collateral Agent; and (ii) within one Business Day after the date that is 60 days before the end of the then-current term of the Closing Date Letter of Credit, the Company shall request confirmation with the issuer of the Closing Date

49


 

Letter of Credit that such issuer does intend to renew or reissue, and not cancel or terminate, the Closing Date Letter of Credit and shall notify the Collateral Agent of such issuer’s response to such request for confirmation.

The Company shall (i) at all times have either an agreement providing for an “at-the-market” offering within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act (an “ATM Sales Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time or an Equity Line of Credit in place and (ii) ensure that at all times the ATM Program and Equity Line of Credit have available accessible aggregate capacity to generate gross proceeds to the Company of at least thirty million dollars ($30,000,000); provided that if at any time prior to July 1, 2026, the Company cannot satisfy the requirements set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), then the Company shall have forty-five (45) days to replace such ATM Sales Agreement or Equity Line of Credit, as applicable.
(Y)
[Reserved.]
(Z)
The Company shall cause this Note and any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Note to be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information (other than as then satisfied, to the extent applicable) or notice under the Securities Act and without any requirement for registration under any state securities or “blue sky” law, on and after the date that is six (6) months following the Issue Date. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall notify the Company and surrender this Note to the Company (or provide the Company an affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company that this Note was lost, stolen or destroyed), whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note, registered as the Holder may request.
Section 9.
Successors.

The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person, other than the Holder or any of its Affiliates (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:

(A)
the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the “Successor Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Holder, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplement to this instrument) all of the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents; and
(B)
immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Event of Default will have occurred that has not been waived and no Default will have occurred and be continuing which has not been waived.

At the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Successor Corporation (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under

50


 

the Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the Company in the Transaction Documents, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its obligations under this Note.

Section 10.
Defaults and Remedies
(A)
Events of Default. “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any of the following (whose occurrence, for the avoidance of doubt, may be waived, but may not be cured):
(i)
a default in the payment when due of, the Principal Amount (other than a Partial Redemption Payment), any amount due under Section 4(B), Section 4(C), Section 4(E) or Section 4(F), or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price under this Note;
(ii)

(ii)
Optional Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 10(A)(xix) or Section 10(A)(xx)) occurs and has not been waived by the Holder, then the Holder, by notice to the Company and Park Lane (each such notice, an “Event of Default Redemption Notice”), may declare this Note (or any portion thereof) to become due and payable on the Business Day immediately following the date of such notice for cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount.
(iii)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely to the extent that any Event of Default shall have occurred that has not been waived and the Holder has not received the payment in full of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to an Event of Default Redemption Notice nor has Park Lane purchased this Note in whole pursuant to the terms of Section 10(B)(iv), the Holder may direct the Collateral Agent to (I) (x) if on or after the third Business Day after delivery of an Event of Default Redemption Notice (other than in connection with an Event of Default occurring under Section 10(A)(iii), for which no such three (3) Business Days’ period shall be required) the Holder has neither received from the Company the Event of Default Acceleration Amount nor has the Holder received from Park Lane a Notice of Purchase pursuant to the terms of Section 10(B)(iv)

55


 

prior to such third Business Day, or (y) if Park Lane has delivered to the Holder a Notice of Purchase pursuant Section 10(B)(iv) prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days after delivery of an Event of Default Redemption Notice (other than in connection with an Event of Default occurring under Section 10(A)(iii), for which no such three (3) Business Days’ period shall be required) and Park Lane has not consummated the purchase of this Note on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the Event of Default Redemption Notice, draw on the Closing Date Letter of Credit up to the remaining L/C Availability thereunder, solely in order to apply, and the Company hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to apply, and Collateral Agent shall apply, such amounts drawn in respect of the Closing Date Letter of Credit to any amount then due and payable by the Company of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to such Event of Default Redemption Notice and all costs and expenses set forth in Section 20 hereof in connection with the enforcement of, this Note, all without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, and (II) exercise any and all rights and remedies provided to Collateral Agent or the Holder under this Note or any Security Document and/or at law or equity, including any and all rights and remedies available under the UCC, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or the other Transaction Documents, any amounts received by or on behalf of the Holder or the Collateral Agent in connection with any exercise of remedies in connection herewith, shall be applied to the amounts outstanding under this Note and reduce the amount of the obligations hereunder, and any such amounts in excess of the obligations hereunder shall be paid to the Company or its designee.
(iv)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) after the Holder has delivered an Event of Default Redemption Notice and prior to the date three (3) Business Days thereafter and so long as the Holder has not received the payment in full of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to such Event of Default Redemption Notice on or prior to such date, Park Lane may deliver a written notice to the Holder (a “Notice of Purchase”) indicating Park Lane’s intent to purchase any remaining portion of this Note in whole, but not in part, on a date, to be specified in such Notice of Purchase, no later than the fifth Business Day after the applicable Event of Default Redemption Notice was given, and (y) after delivery of a Notice of Purchase, Park Lane may effect such purchase by paying Holder in accordance with the terms of the applicable Event of Default Redemption Notice, on the date specified in the Notice of Purchase, cash in an amount equal to any unpaid Event of Default Acceleration Amount as of such date of determination; and Company hereby consents to such transfer. Park Lane shall be a third party beneficiary of this paragraph.
(C)
Notice of Events of Default. Promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after an Event of Default, the Company will provide written notice of such Event of Default to the Holder (an “Event of Default Notice”), which Event of Default Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) the date on which the Event of Default occurred and (iii) the date on which the Default underlying such Event of Default initially occurred, if different than the date on which the Event of Default occurred.
(D)
Default Interest. If an Event of Default occurs, then in each case, to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will automatically accrue on the Principal Amount outstanding as of the date of such Event of Default at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent

56


 

(15.00%), from, and including, the date of such Event of Default to, but excluding, the date such Event of Default is waived and all outstanding Default Interest under this Note has been paid. Default Interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and will be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) the first day of each calendar month, (ii) the date such Event of Default is waived, (iii) the date on which any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is reduced or otherwise retired (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Conversion Settlement Date, Partial Redemption Date or any date that an Event of Default Acceleration Amount or Cash Sweep Payment is paid by the Company to the Holder), and (iv) the Maturity Date.

The guarantee in this Article IV is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

 

Section 4.2 Guaranty Absolute.

Section 4.5 Reorganization. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Obligor under Article IV would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Article IV, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Obligor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the liability under this Guaranty, but before giving effect to any other guarantee) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
