Following the completion of the Merger (the “Closing”), substantially all of Pensare’s assets and operations are held and conducted by the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries, and Pensare’s only assets are all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Surviving Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” refers to the combined company and its subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. Prior to the Closing, but in contemplation thereof, the registrant changed its name from “Pensare Acquisition Corp.” to “American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.”

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2019, by and among Pensare, Merger Sub, Holdings, and Computex, and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2020 (“Amendment No. 2”), by and among Pensare, Merger Sub, Holdings, and Computex, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 2.1, Exhibit 2.2, and Exhibit 2.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A more detailed description of the Merger and related transactions can be found in Pensare’s definitive proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies from Pensare’s stockholders to approve the Merger and related transactions filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 13, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”).

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement

 

On April 3, 2020, Pensare, Merger Sub, Holdings, and Computex entered into Amendment No. 2, which provided for, among other things: (i) changing the aggregate merger consideration payable to $65 million (subject to adjustment based on Computex’s working capital and net debt at closing), consisting of $20 million of Units (as defined below), shares of Pensare’s common stock, and the assumption of Computex’s indebtedness; (ii) extending the date by which the Company must file a resale registration statement from five days to fifteen business days following the Closing; (iii) the right of Holdings to nominate one, two or three members of the board of directors of the Company, provided that Holdings owns at least 10%, 30% or 50%, respectively, of the Stock Consideration and Converted Shares, collectively, issuable to Holdings in connection with the Closing; (iv) adjusting certain terms and definitions relating to the consideration issued in the Business Combination to, among other things, provide for the Units to be issued by Pensare in the Private Placement; (v) the removal of the previously contemplated Lock-Up Agreement by and among Pensare, Holdings and Navigation Capital Partners II, L.P.; and (vi) the acknowledgement by Pensare and Merger Sub that certain actions taken by Computex prior to the Effective Time related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 shall not constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 2 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of Amendment No. 2, which is filed as Exhibit 2.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On April 7, 2020, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) was dismissed by vote of the board of directors as Pensare’s independent registered public accounting firm. On the same date, the board of directors engaged in discussions regarding and voted to retain UHY LLP (“UHY”) as Pensare’s independent registered public accounting firm subject to completion of UHY’s standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter.

 

Marcum’s reports on Pensare’s financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion. The report was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the period from April 7, 2016 (inception) through March 31, 2019, and any subsequent interim period preceding such dismissal, there were no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

 

Pensare provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Item 4.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Marcum furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements above, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Marcum’s letter dated April 7, 2020 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On April 1, 2020, Pensare filed its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which was effective the same day. Among other things, the Certificate of Incorporation: (i) changed Pensare’s name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc., (ii) removed certain provisions related to Pensare’s status as a blank check company, (iii) increased the number of shares that the Company may issue and (iv) made such other changes that Pensare’s board of directors deemed appropriate for a public operating company.

 

The terms of the Certificate of Incorporation are set forth in the Proxy Statement and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Certificate of Incorporation is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1, and the foregoing description of the Certificate of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On April 7, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the business combination, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

(f/k/a Pensare Acquisition Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“Pensare”), Tango Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation, Stratos Management Systems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Stratos Management Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the parties have entered into the Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Agreement, the parties wish to amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the rights and obligations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

Section 1.                Amendments to the Agreement.

 

(i)                 Section 1.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Debentures” means the Series A convertible debentures to be issued by Pensare in the Private Placement.

 

PIPE Consideration” means Units, in the same form as the Units issued by Pensare in the Private Placement, including Debentures having an aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000.

 

Stock Consideration” means such number of shares of Pensare Common Stock as shall be equal to (i) the Consideration Amount less $20,000,000, divided by (ii) the Per Share Price.

 

Unit” means (i) $1,000 in principal amount of the Company’s Debentures and (ii) a Warrant, to be issued by Pensare in the Private Placement.

 

Warrant” means a warrant to purchase 100 shares of Pensare’s Common Stock, to be issued by Pensare in the Private Placement.

 

(B)     The definitions of “Cash Closing Calculation Amount,” “Cash Percentage,” “Lock-Up Agreement,” “Stock Closing Calculation Amount” and “Stock Percentage” are hereby deleted in their entireties.

 

 

 

 

(C)     The definition of “Ancillary Agreements” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Ancillary Agreements” means the Pensare Closing Cash Certificate, the Company Certificate, the Registration Rights Agreement (as such term is defined in the Debentures) and all other agreements, certificates and instruments executed and delivered by Pensare, Merger Sub, Holdings or the Company in connection with the Transactions and specifically contemplated by this Agreement.”

 

(D)    The definition of “Closing Net Working Capital” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Closing Net Working Capital” means, on a consolidated basis as of the open of business on the Closing Date, the amount equal to (i) the sum of all accrued accounts receivable, trade receivables, inventories, rebate receivables, prepaid expenses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and all other expenses previously paid by Holdings, labeled as “Total Expenses” as set forth on the Payments Spreadsheet, minus (ii) the sum of all accounts payable, unearned revenues, other accrued expenses (including sales tax, payroll tax and interest payables) of the Company and Company Subsidiaries and any reimbursement of expenses by Pensare to Holdings, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, labeled as “Total Funding Received” as set forth in the Payments Spreadsheet, in each case, determined in accordance with GAAP.”

 

(E)     The definition of “Consideration Amount” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

By way of example, if the Estimated Closing Company Net Debt is $20,000,000, and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is negative two million dollars (-$2,000,000), then Estimated Closing Net Working Capital would be greater than the Closing Net Working Capital Target, and the Consideration Amount would be $47,300,000.”

 

(F)     The definition of “Per Share Price” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(i)        “Per Share Price” means $3.00.”

 

(ii)              Section 3.02(a) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(a) At the Closing, Pensare shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holdings (i) the PIPE Consideration and (ii) the Stock Consideration (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).”

 

 

(iii)            Section 3.02(c) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(c) To the extent not already reflected in the Per Share Price, the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Pensare Common Stock (or any other Pensare Securities) occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.”

 

(iv)             Section 3.03(d)(i)(A) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(A) If the Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, Pensare shall pay the difference (expressed as a positive number) between the Closing Net Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital to Holdings in shares of Pensare Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.03(d)(i)(A), each share of Pensare Common Stock shall have a value equal to the Per Share Price. By way of example, if the Closing Net Working Capital is negative two million dollars (-$2,000,000) and the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital is negative five million dollars (-$5,000,000), then the Closing Net Working Capital would be greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and therefore Pensare would pay the difference, which would be $3,000,000.”

 

(v)               Section 3.03(d)(ii)(B) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(B) If the Estimated Closing Company Net Debt exceeds the Closing Company Net Debt, Pensare shall pay the entire amount of the difference between the Estimated Closing Company Net Debt and the Closing Company Net Debt to Holdings in shares of Pensare Common Stock.

Section 3.04 Optional Redemption of Debentures. If Pensare consummates the sale of additional Pipe Securities in one or more private placements within 120 days after the Closing (the “Additional Pipe Securities” which, for the avoidance of doubt excludes any PIPE Securities issued prior to or on the date of the Closing), then Holdings or any holder thereof shall have the right to elect to have the Debentures issued to Stratos Management Systems Holdings, LLC as part of the PIPE Consideration having an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of the gross cash proceeds raised by Pensare from the sale of the Additional Pipe Securities to be redeemed by Pensare (“Redeemable Securities”), for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Redeemable Securities that are so redeemed plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of such redemption (the “Redemption Amount”). Any such redemption under this Section 3.04 shall occur within ten (10) days after Pensare receives a notice from Holdings or any permitted subsequent holder of the Redeemable Securities electing to have the Redeemable Securities redeemed (“Redemption Notice”).

Upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants into shares of Pensare Common Stock (collectively, the “Converted Shares”) in accordance with the terms of the Debentures and Warrants, such Converted Shares shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and each Converted Share shall be issued free and clear of preemptive rights and all Liens, other than restrictions under applicable securities law and the Pensare Organizational Documents. The Converted Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable securities Laws and other applicable Laws and without contravention of any other person’s rights therein or with respect thereto.”

 

(ix)             The first sentence of Section 8.12 of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “five (5) Business Days” with “fifteen (15) Business Days.”

Pensare shall, for so long as a Holdings Designee is serving on the Board, maintain a Directors and Officers liability insurance policy providing coverage in the amounts deemed necessary by the Board, which may change from time to time.”

 

(xi)             A new Section 8.21 is hereby added as follows:

 

SECTION 8.21 Coronavirus Disease 2019 Acknowledgment.

(xii)          Section 9.01(c) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following.

(xiv)         Exhibit C (Lock-Up Agreement) is hereby deleted from the Agreement.

 

Section 2.                Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

Section 3.                Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

 

(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(c) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(b)    the Company shall (i) give the Observer notice, at the same time as furnished to the directors, of all meetings of the Board, (ii) provide to the Observer all notices, documents and information furnished to the members of the Board (the “Directors”) whether at or in anticipation of a meeting, an action by written consents or otherwise, at the same time as furnished to the Directors, (iii) notify the Observer by telephone or email of, and permit the Observer to attend in person, or by telephone or other electronic means, any and all meetings (including virtual and emergency meetings) of the Board, and (iv) provide the Observer copies of the minutes of all such meetings at the time such minutes are furnished to the Directors; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated hereunder to provide information (i) that the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company); or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel; and

8. Survival and Indemnification.

 

8.1    Survival.

18 

 

 

8.3    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (a) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (b) in the case of a third party claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

2. Payments.

 

(a)    Beginning on the issuance date of this Debenture (the “Issuance Date”), the outstanding principal balance of this Debenture shall bear interest, in arrears, at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%) (the “Base Rate”). Accrued interest hereunder shall be payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each calendar year, with the first such payment to be made on June 30, 2020. Such first payment shall include interest only from the Issuance Date until the date of payment. Interest shall be paid in additional debentures, substantially identical in the form of this Debenture except upon maturity in which case accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in cash. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months and shall accrue commencing on the Issuance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), from the date of the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured, the Base Rate shall be increased to the lower of (i) fourteen percent (14%) and (ii) the maximum applicable legal rate per annum (such lower rate, the “Default Rate”) and interest shall be payable in cash.

4 

 

 

3.            Ranking and Subordination. Except as set forth in this Section 3, the indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture shall rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture and the guaranty described in Section 14 and the other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company, Computex and its subsidiaries under the Purchase Agreement owing to Holder (collectively, the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) are subordinate and junior to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth. The Holder agrees, from time to time as reasonably requested by the Company, to execute any documents reasonably required by the Company’s lenders reaffirming the subordination provisions contained in this Debenture; provided, however, that the existing rights of the Holder shall not be adversely affected thereby. For purposes of this Debenture and the guaranty described in Section 14, the term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean all senior indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company, Computex and Computex’s subsidiaries, whether outstanding on the date hereafter or thereafter created, incurred, assumed, guaranteed or in effect under the Senior Credit Facility, together with all other sums due thereon and all costs of collecting the same (including, without limit, reasonable attorney fees) for which such Person is or at any time may be liable.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, Company shall have the right to pay (or cause to be paid) to Holder, and Holder shall have the right to receive and accept from Company, Computex and Computex’s subsidiaries, any and all regularly scheduled payments of the Subordinate Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) due to Holder pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Debenture, the guaranty described in Section 14, and/or the Purchase Agreement as and when such payments become due and payable; provided, that (x) no Senior Credit Default (I) has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the proposed payment to Holder, or (II) would otherwise result from such proposed payment being made to Holder and (y) no Insolvency Proceeding (as defined below) has occurred.

 

In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding, the Senior Lender shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness before Holder is entitled to receive any subsequent payment on account of any Subordinated Indebtedness; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall any such subordination impair the ability of the Company to issue or the rights of the Holder to receive additional Debentures in respect of accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with Section 2 hereof and (y) the foregoing shall not be deemed to require the repayment or reimbursement by Holder to Senior Lender of any amounts permitted to be received by Holder with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness in compliance with this Section 3 prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Proceeding.

 

During the continuance of any Senior Credit Default, no cash payment shall be made with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness (or any renewals or extensions thereof) if written or telegraphic notice of such event of default has been given to the Company by the Senior Lender. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds from these be received by Holder upon or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness that is not otherwise permitted under this Section 3 prior to the Senior Credit Termination, Holder shall immediately deliver same to the Senior Lender in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Holder where required by the Senior Lender), for application on the Senior Indebtedness (whether or not then due and in such order of maturity as the Senior Lender elects) and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by Holder as the property of the Senior Lender.

 

5 

 

 

Until the Senior Credit Termination, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Senior Credit Default and/or any Insolvency Proceeding, Holder will not (without the prior consent of Senior Lender) ask for, demand, sue for, take or receive (by way of voluntary payment, acceleration, set-off or counterclaim, foreclosure or other realization on security, dividends in bankruptcy or otherwise), or offer to make any discharge or release of, any of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and Holder waives any such rights with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness. Holder shall not exercise any rights of subrogation or other similar rights with respect to the Senior Indebtedness. This Section 3 constitutes a continuing agreement of subordination, as of any date prior to the Senior Credit Termination, even though the outstanding balance of the Senior Indebtedness may, from time to time, be zero.

 

As of the date hereof, the Subordinated Indebtedness is unsecured. To the extent the Subordinated Indebtedness is ever secured by collateral also securing the Senior Indebtedness (referenced herein as “Shared Collateral”) and until the Senior Credit Termination, Holder agrees it will not (without the prior consent of Senior Lender) exercise any of Holder’s rights in any such Shared Collateral now or later securing the Subordinated Indebtedness. As of any date prior to the Senior Credit Termination, all rights of Holder in any Shared Collateral now or later securing the Subordinated Indebtedness are subordinated to all rights of the Senior Lender now or later existing in any of the same Shared Collateral. The relative priorities of the Senior Lender and Holder in the any Shared Collateral as set forth in this Section 3 control irrespective of the time, method or order of attachment or perfection of the liens and security interests acquired by the parties in the Shared Collateral and irrespective of the priorities as would otherwise be determined by reference to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws. As of any date prior to the Senior Credit Termination, Holder shall not contest the validity, priority or perfection of the security interest in or other lien upon the Shared Collateral (regardless of whether the Senior Lender’s security interest in or lien upon the Shared Collateral is valid or perfected). The priorities of any liens or security interests of the parties in any property of the Company, Computex or any of its subsidiaries other than the Shared Collateral are not affected by this Section 3 and shall be determined by reference to applicable law. The Senior Lender’s rights under this Section 3 are in addition to, and not in substitution of, its rights under any other subordination agreement with Holder.

 

To the extent the Subordinated Indebtedness is ever secured by any Shared Collateral as of any date prior to the Senior Credit Termination, the relative rights of the Senior Lender and the Holder in or to any distributions from or in respect of any such Shared Collateral or proceeds of such Shared Collateral, including without limitation, with respect to any rights acquired by Holder under Sections 363 and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined herein) shall continue after the filing of such petition on the same basis as prior to the date of such filing. If any Insolvency Proceeding shall occur, the Holder shall file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of this Debenture at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the period during which such claims or proofs of claims may be filed without the approval of the court or any third party.

Upon the failure of the Holder to take such action, the Senior Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise of enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Holder with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness. If any of the Company, Computex or its subsidiaries shall become subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, (i) the Holder will not oppose the Senior Lender’s requests for adequate protection payments, post-petition interest, or for additional collateral or replacement liens or security interests in connection with any use of cash collateral or financing for a debtor-in-possession and (ii) the Holder will not seek or request adequate protection or adequate protection payments in any such proceeding. The Holder agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any assets included in the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) free and clear of liens, security interests or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Lender has consented to such sale or disposition of such assets and the Holder will be deemed to have (a) consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any such sale or disposition supported by the Senior Lender and (b) concurrently with the closing of such sale, the Holder shall release its liens and security interests, if any, in such assets, property or interests consisting of Shared Collateral. The Holder shall not support or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization (and each shall be deemed to have voted to reject any plan of reorganization) unless such plan either (a) results in the Senior Indebtedness being paid in full, (b) is accepted by the Senior Lender or (c) incorporates this Section 3 by reference and continues the rights and priorities of the Senior Lender and the Holder in such Shared Collateral subsequent to the effective date of such plan. To the extent that the Holder has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, the Holder agrees not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the Senior Lender; provided that if requested by the Senior Lender, the Holder shall timely exercise such rights in the manner reasonably requested by the Senior Lender, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness should be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other proceeding (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code). If any of the Company, Computex or its subsidiaries shall become subject to a case under the Bankruptcy Code, all proceeds of Shared Collateral shall be applied to the Senior Indebtedness until such Senior Indebtedness is paid in full before any distribution shall be made to the Holder; if any such distribution is received by the Holder, it shall be paid or delivered directly to the Senior Lender. Except as otherwise provided herein, in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation (voluntary or involuntary), reorganization or other similar proceeding involving the Company, Computex, any of its subsidiaries or their respective properties (such case or proceeding referred to as an “Insolvency Proceeding”), the Holder may exercise its respective rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor only against the Senior Lender in accordance with applicable law; provided that the Holder shall not take any action that is, or would reasonably be expected to be, otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Section 3. As used herein, the term “Bankruptcy Code” means the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C.§§101 et seq, as amended, and any successor statute.

Holder waives any duty on the part of the Senior Lender, and agrees that Holder is not relying upon nor expecting the Senior Lender, to disclose to Holder any fact now or later known by the Senior Lender, whether relating to the operations or condition of the Company, Computex or any of its subsidiaries, the existence, liabilities or financial condition of any guarantor of the Senior Indebtedness, the occurrence of any default with respect to the Senior Indebtedness or otherwise, notwithstanding any effect this fact may have upon Holder’s risk or Holder’s rights against such Person.

 

The Senior Lender, in its sole discretion, without notice to Holder, may release, exchange, enforce and otherwise deal with any security now or later held by the Senior Lender for payment of the Senior Indebtedness or release any party now or later liable for payment of the Senior Indebtedness without affecting in any manner the Senior Lender’s rights under this Section 3. Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Lender has no obligation to acquire or perfect any lien on or security interest in any asset(s), whether realty or personalty, to secure payment of the Senior Indebtedness, and Holder is not relying upon assets in which the Senior Lender has or may have a lien or security interest for payment of the Senior Indebtedness.

 

Notwithstanding any prior revocation, termination, surrender, or discharge of the Senior Indebtedness in whole or in part, the effectiveness of this Section 3 shall automatically continue or be reinstated in the event that any payment received or credit given by the Senior Lender in respect of the Senior Indebtedness is returned, disgorged, or rescinded under any applicable state or federal law, including, without limitation, laws pertaining to bankruptcy or insolvency, in which case the subordination provisions in this Section 3 shall be enforceable against Holder as if the returned, disgorged, or rescinded payment or credit had not been received or given by the Senior Lender, and whether or not the Senior Lender relied upon this payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence of it. In the event of continuation or reinstatement of the subordination provisions in this Section 3, Holder agrees upon demand by the Senior Lender to execute and deliver to the Senior Lender those documents which the Senior Lender reasonably determines are appropriate to further evidence (in the public records or otherwise) this continuation or reinstatement, although the failure of Holder to do so shall not affect in any way the reinstatement or continuation.

 

Holder waives, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable law, any right to require the Senior Lender to: (a) proceed against any person or property; (b) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property security held from Company or any other Person, or otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9.611 or 9.621 of the Texas or other applicable Uniform Commercial Code; or (c) pursue any other remedy in the Senior Lender’s power. Holder waives notice of acceptance of this Debenture and presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate or demand payment or notice of acceleration of any Senior Indebtedness, any and all other notices to which Holder might otherwise be entitled, and diligence in collecting any Senior Indebtedness, and agrees that Senior Lender may, once or any number of times, modify the terms of any Senior Indebtedness, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate, renew or forbear to enforce payment of any or all Senior Indebtedness, or permit the Company, Computex and its subsidiaries to incur additional Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to Holder and without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligations of Holder under this Section 3.

4. Conversion.

 

4.1. Conversion Rights.

 

(a)    Optional Conversion. The unpaid principal amount of this Debenture (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder at any time prior to the payment in full of the principal amount of this Debenture (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon), into such number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the principal amount of the Debenture so converted (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) by the Conversion Price (the “Holder Conversion Right”).

 

(b)    Mandatory Conversion. If a Triggering Event occurs and provided that (i) the Company is not in breach of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture and the Other Debentures are then convertible may be freely resold by each Holder without restriction under applicable securities laws whether pursuant to an effective registration statement or otherwise, then the unpaid principal amount of this Debenture (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) shall automatically be converted as of the 5:00 p.m. Atlanta time on the sixth (6th) Trading Day (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) following the delivery to the Holders of written notice of such Triggering Event accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation substantiating the occurrence of such Triggering Event into such number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the principal amount of the Debenture (together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) by the Conversion Price (a “Mandatory Conversion”).

 

4.2.             Issuance of Certificates. The Holder Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder by the surrender of this Debenture (or of any replacement Debenture issued hereunder) with the conversion notice attached hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company or the transfer agent of the Company. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on (a) in the case of the Holder Conversion Right, the date that such delivery of the Debenture and conversion notice is actually made, or (b) in the case of Mandatory Conversion, the Mandatory Conversion Date (as applicable, the “Conversion Date”). As promptly as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Trading Days, after a Conversion Date and the Company’s receipt of the Debenture being converted (and the conversion notice, if applicable) (such fifth Trading Day thereafter, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled (or evidence of the issuance of such shares in book entry form) and a check or cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.4. The Company shall not be obligated to issue Common Stock certificates in the name of any party other than the Holders of the respective Debentures, absent full compliance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the next succeeding day on which the transfer books are open, but the Conversion Price shall be that in effect on the Conversion Date. All rights with respect to the Debentures (or any portion thereof) that are converted pursuant to this Section 4, including the rights to receive interest and notices, shall terminate upon conversion pursuant to this Section 4.2. Upon conversion of only a portion of this Debenture, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder hereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture covering the principal amount of this Debenture not converted, which new Debenture shall entitle the holder thereof to interest on the principal amount thereof to the same extent as if the unconverted portion of this Debenture had not been surrendered for conversion.

 

9 

 

 

4.3.             Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that, for so long as any Debentures remain outstanding, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Holder Conversion Right or upon Mandatory Conversion, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full exercise of the Holder Conversion Right or the conversion pursuant to Mandatory Conversion.

 

4.4.             Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Debenture. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Conversion Date, which shall be the closing price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date as reported on the principal trading market therefor or in the absence of any such closing price, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

4.5.             Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price and the number and kind of securities which may be received upon the exercise of the Holder Conversion Right or the Company Conversion Right shall be subject to the adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows:

 

(a)    Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.5(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)               the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

10 

 

 

(c)    Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provisions shall be made so that the holders of Debentures shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Debentures been converted into Common Stock on such record date and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period) receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 4.5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Debentures.

 

(d)    Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for in Section 4.5(e) below), then and in each such event the holder of each Debenture shall have the right thereafter to convert each Debenture into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change, as holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Debenture might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

(e)    Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.5) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Debentures shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Debentures, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4.5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Debentures after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 4.5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares receivable upon conversion of the Debentures) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

11 

 

 

(f) Adjustments for Dilutive Issuances.

 

(i)                 Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4.5(f), the following definitions shall apply:

 

(1)    Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 4.5(f)(ii), deemed to be issued) by the Company after the Original Issuance Date, other than (I) the following shares of Common Stock and (II) shares of Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to the following Options and Convertible Securities (clauses (I) and (II), collectively, “Exempted Securities”):

 

(I)                 securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of Options or Convertible Securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the Original Issuance Date (so long as the conversion or exercise prices of such securities are not amended to lower such price and/or adversely affect the Holder);

 

(II)                 the Other Debentures, the Warrants (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and any additional debentures or other securities issued as payment of interest on the Debentures;

 

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

 

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

 

(V)                shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities actually issued upon the exercise of Options or shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security;

 

(VI)               shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, as a customary “equity sweetener” pursuant to a bona fide debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board; and

 

(VII)              shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or other business by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement, contribution agreement or similar arrangement, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board.

 

12 

 

 

(2)    Common Stock Deemed Outstanding” means, at any given time, the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding at such time, plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Options or Convertible Securities then outstanding, regardless of whether the Options or Convertible Securities are actually exercisable, convertible or exchangeable at such time.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

 

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

 

(B)    If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(f)(iii), are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this Section 4.5(f)(ii)(B) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

13 

 

 

(C)    If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(f)(iii) (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 4.5(f)(iv)) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Original Issue Date), are revised after the Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 4.5(f)(ii)(1) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

(D)    Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(f)(iii), the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

(E)    If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this Section 4.5(f)(ii) shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 4.5(f)(ii)). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Section 4.5(f)(ii) at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

14 

 

 

(iii)             Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company shall, at any time after the Original Issuance Date and for so long as this Debenture remains outstanding, issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4.5(f)(ii)), without consideration or for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the applicable Conversion Price (the “Applicable Price”) in effect immediately prior to such issue (each, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to an amount equal to the lowest price per share at which such share of Common Stock has been issued or sold (or is deemed to have been issued or sold, in the case of Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 4.5(f)(ii)) pursuant to the Dilutive Issuance; provided, that if such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) was without consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have received an aggregate of $0.001 of consideration for all such shares so issued or deemed to be issued.

 

(iv)             Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4.5(f)(iv), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

(A) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

 

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

 

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

 

(III)               in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board and the Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the Debentures.

 

(B)              Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 4.5(f)(ii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

 

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

 

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

 

15 

 

 

(v)                Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Company shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4.5(f)(iii), then, upon the final such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

(g)    Minimum Adjustment. No adjustment of the Conversion Price, however, shall be made in an amount less than one cent, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to one cent or more.

 

(h)    Certificate of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the applicable Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Company shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Debentures a certificate, signed by an officer of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

 

(i) Notices of Record Date. If:

 

(i)                 the Company shall set a record date for the purpose of entitling the holders of its shares of Common Stock to receive a dividend, or any other distribution, payable otherwise than in cash;

 

(ii)               the Company shall set a record date for the purpose of entitling the holders of its shares of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or to receive any other rights;

 

(iii)             there shall occur any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the shares of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock), consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

(iv)             there shall occur a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company;

 

16 

 

 

then, and in any such case, the Company shall cause to be sent to the holders of record of the outstanding Debentures, at least ten Trading Days prior to the dates hereinafter specified, a written notice stating the date (x) which has been set as the record date for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or rights, or (y) on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take place and the record date as of which holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up.

 

4.6    Limitations on Number of Shares Issuable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary herein, provided that the Common Stock remains listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other national securities exchange, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures, together with the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants, shall not exceed 19.9% of either (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof or (b) the total voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding on the date hereof that are entitled to vote on a matter being voted on by holders of the Common Stock, until the 21st day after the date (the “Mailing Date”) that the Information Statement was sent or given to the Company’s stockholders in accordance with Regulation 14C under the Exchange Act. The Company shall provide prompt notice of the Mailing Date to each of the Holders immediately following its occurrence.

 

4.7    Registration, Exchange and Transfer. The Company will keep a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register all Debentures. No transfer of this Debenture shall be valid as against the Company unless made upon such register. This Debenture is subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the face hereof. Upon surrender for transfer of this Debenture and compliance with said restrictions on transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debenture or Debentures for a like principal amount.

 

This Debenture, if presented for transfer, exchange, redemption or payment, shall (if so required by the Company) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the registered Holder or by his duly authorized attorney.

 

Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company may require payment of the sum sufficient to cover any processing cost, tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

 

The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon by anyone other than the Company), for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and interest hereon, for the conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

5. Events of Default.

(d)           if the Holder is Stratos making a disposition of all or any portion of this Debenture to its unitholders, Stratos shall notify the Company of such proposed date of the disposition and shall have furnished the Company (i) a copy of the form of acknowledgement that such securities are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws to be executed by Stratos and its unitholders and (ii) a representation letter, executed by Stratos and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the disposition is being effected by means of a distribution to Stratos’ unitholders consistent with the distribution provisions set forth in Article X of that certain Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Stratos dated effective October 3, 2012 (as amended), for no consideration, in which case no opinion of counsel shall be required.

[THIS DEBENTURE / THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

WHEREAS, the Guarantors are authorized to execute and deliver this Guaranty.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, including the benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the financing provided by the issuance of the Debentures and the other securities issued contemporaneously therewith, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantors and the Company mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Debentures as follows:

 

1.             DEFINED TERMS. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Debentures or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

 

25

 

 

2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE.

 

(a)       Each Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors hereby, guarantees, to each Holder of a Debenture, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Debentures or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

 

(1)       the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Debentures will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Debentures, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any other Guarantor, or the Company, as the case may be, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Debenture Guarantee.

 

26

 

 

(e)      Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Debentures, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of bankruptcy law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee.

This Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “Warrant”) is being issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2020, to which the Company and the Holder are parties (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

 

(a) EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(1)               This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time from the date hereof up to and including , 2025 [the 5-year anniversary of the date of issuance] (the “Exercise Period”); provided, however, that (A) if either such day is a day on which banking institutions in the State of Georgia are authorized by law to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day, and (B) in the event of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company as an entirety, resulting in any distribution to the Company’s stockholders, prior to termination of the Exercise Period, or any reclassification or recapitalization or similar transaction (each of the foregoing, a “Major Transaction”), the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant commencing at such time through the termination of the Exercise Period into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Major Transaction or any record date established to determine the receipt of any payment or distribution in respect thereof. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this Warrant, but not later than three (3) business days following the receipt of good and available funds, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. As of the end of business on the date of receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its office in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock or other property issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares or other property shall not then be physically delivered to the Holder.

 

(2)               At any time during the Exercise Period, the Holder may, at its option, exercise this Warrant on a cashless basis by exchanging this Warrant, in whole or in part (a “Warrant Exchange”), into the number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with this Section (a)(2), by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, accompanied by a notice stating such Holder’s intent to effect such exchange, the number of Warrant Shares to be exchanged and the date on which the Holder requests that such Warrant Exchange occur (the “Notice of Exchange”). The Warrant Exchange shall take place on the date specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of Exchange is received by the Company (the “Exchange Date”). Certificates for the shares issuable upon such Warrant Exchange and, if this Warrant should be exercised in part only, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, shall be issued as of the Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder within seven (7) days following the Exchange Date. In connection with any Warrant Exchange, this Warrant shall represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange (the “Total Number”) less (ii) the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Total Number and the existing Exercise Price by (B) Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock. “Fair Market Value” shall equal the average closing trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the relevant market or exchange (or, if not then traded on a market or exchange but listed for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board, on the over-the-counter bulletin board) for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Notice of Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any market or exchange or listed for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board, and the average price cannot be determined as contemplated above, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors with the concurrence of the Holder.

(d)               LIMITATIONS ON NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary herein, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Warrants, together with the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Indentures, shall not exceed 19.9% of either (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof or (ii) the total voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding on the date hereof that are entitled to vote on a matter being voted on by holders of the Common Stock, unless and until the Company has obtained the Stockholder Approval.

 

(e)               FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares or strips representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(f)                LOSS OR DESTRUCTION OF WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.

(g)               RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

 

(h) ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. In case the Company shall hereafter

(i)   declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section (h)) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section (h)) be in effect, and (ii) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this Section (h)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock. Adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

 

(i)                 NOTICES TO WARRANT HOLDERS. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding, (i) if the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution upon the Common Stock or (ii) if the Company shall offer to the holders of Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any other rights or (iii) if any capital reorganization of the Company, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another corporation, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be effected, then in any such case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, at least twenty days prior the earlier of the dates specified in (x) and (y) below, as the case may be, a notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the date on which (x) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or (y) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock or other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(j)                 RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION OR MERGER. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing corporation or a merger in which the Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto represents immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) 50% or more of the combined voting power and economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such transaction and economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such transaction and which does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company in the entirety (a “Reorganization”), the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrant, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that might have been purchased upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Reorganization. Any such provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section (i) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. In the event that in connection with any such capital reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, additional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in exchange, conversion, substitution or payment, in whole or in part, for a security of the Company other than Common Stock, any such issue shall be treated as an issue of Common Stock covered by the provisions of Section (h) hereof.

 

(k)               NO NET-CASH SETTLEMENT. Except as expressly provided herein, in no event will the Holder be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in securities.

 

(l)                 MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Warrant may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, by the Company and the holder of this Warrant.

 

(m)            TRANSFER OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of the successors to and assigns of the Holder; provided, however, this Warrant may not be pledged, sold, assigned or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, change of control, or otherwise, except in compliance with applicable registration requirements of securities laws or an available exemption therefrom.. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are registrable at the office or agency of the Company referred to below by the Holder in person or by its duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed accompanied by an assignment form in a form approved by the Company, duly executed by the transferring Holder and the transferee.

(n)               REGISTER OF WARRANTS. The Company shall maintain, at the principal office of the Company (or such other office as it may designate by notice to the Holder), a register in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each successor and prior owner of such Warrant. The Company shall be entitled to treat the Person in whose name this Warrant is so registered as the sole and absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes.

(p)               NOTICES, ETC.

Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will within 10 days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration notify all holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration shall so notify the Company within ten (10) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of (i) two (2) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 for Demanding Holders other than MasTec and Stratos and (ii) three (3) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 for each of MasTec and Stratos. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and its designees may only make a demand on one occasion and only in the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Commission in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

 

2.1.2  Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders who initiated such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue the offering and notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days of such election; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.

2.1.3  Underwritten Offering. If MasTec or Stratos (in the case of a Demand Registration initiated by MasTec or Stratos as applicable) or a majority-in-interest of the other Demanding Holders who initiate a Demand Registration so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand Registration.

 

2.1.4  Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering, in good faith, advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy- back registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such Registration: (i) the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Demanding Holder (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of holders exercising their rights to Register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2; (iii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iv) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities registrable pursuant to the terms of the Unit Purchase Option issued to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. or its designees in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Unit Purchase Option” and such registrable securities, the “Option Securities”) as to which Piggy-Back Registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares and (v) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to Register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.2 Piggy-Back Registration.

 

2.2.1  Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time on or after the date hereof the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (v) filed pursuant to the terms of the BCA (if the offering is not an underwritten offering), then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to Register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and each holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company, and, as soon as practicable thereafter but not more than twelve (12) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration, effect the Registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company, if any, of any other holder or holders joining in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 if: (i) Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the holders of the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.

3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

 

3.1  Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the Registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

 

3.1.1  Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible and in any event within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be Registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any Demand Registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or President of the Company stating that Adverse Disclosure would be required to be set forth in such Registration Statement; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

 

3.1.2  Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.

 

3.1.3  Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement (which period shall not exceed the sum of one hundred eighty (180) days plus any period during which any such disposition is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any governmental agency or court) or such securities have been withdrawn.

 

9

 

 

3.1.4  Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their legal counsel shall reasonably object.

 

3.1.5 Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be Registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities or securities exchanges, including the Nasdaq Capital Market, as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

 

3.1.6  Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. No holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement shall be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except as reasonably requested by the Underwriters and, if applicable, with respect to such holder’s organization, good standing, authority, title to Registrable Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with such holder’s material agreements and organizational documents, and with respect to written information relating to such holder that such holder has furnished in writing expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement.

 

10

 

 

3.1.7  Cooperation. The principal executive officer of the Company, the principal financial officer of the Company, the principal accounting officer of the Company and all other officers and members of the management of the Company shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential investors.

 

3.1.8  Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.

 

3.1.9  Opinions and Comfort Letters. The Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder, of (i) any opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to any Underwriter and (ii) any comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants delivered to any Underwriter. In the event no legal opinion is delivered to any Underwriter, the Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such holder elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that the Registration Statement containing such prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect.

 

3.1.10  Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

 

3.1.11  Listing. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any Registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration.

 

3.1.12  Transfer Agent. The Company shall provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

11

 

 

3.1.13  Misstatements. The Company shall notify the holders at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact required to be stated in a Registration Statement or prospectus, or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading (a “Misstatement”), and then to correct such Misstatement.

 

3.2  Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.4(iv), or, in the case of a resale Registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

3.3  Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, and any Registration on Form S-3 effected pursuant to Section 2.3, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all Registration and filing fees and fees of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (iv) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.11; (vi) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 3.1.9); (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such Registration; and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration; provided that if any such Registrable Securities are held by MasTec or Stratos, then such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to MasTec and/or Stratos, as applicable. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all selling stockholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.

 

12

 

 

3.4  Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

 

3.5  Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any underwritten offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

3.6  Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure (as defined below) or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.6. “Adverse Disclosure” shall mean any public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith judgment of the principal executive officer or principal financial officer of the Company, after consultation with counsel to the Company, (i) would be required to be made in any Registration statement or prospectus in order for the applicable Registration statement or prospectus not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein (in the case of any prospectus and any preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time if the Registration Statement were not being filed, and (iii) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public.

 

13

 

 

3.7  Reporting Obligations. As long as any holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell shares of the Common Stock held by such holder without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any holder, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

 

4.1  Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Sponsor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was Registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such Registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.

 

14

 

 

4.2  Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was Registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

 

4.3  Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

 

15

 

 

4.4 Contribution.

 

4.4.1  If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

4.4.2  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

4.5  Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

 

5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.

 

5.1  Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

 

16

 

 

6. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

6.1  Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a holder of the Registrable Securities, the representative of the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering and as set forth in the BCA, has any right to require the Company to Register any shares of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include shares of the Company’s capital stock in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions (including the Prior Agreement) and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

6.2  Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and the permitted assigns of the Sponsor or holder of Registrable Securities or of any assignee of the Sponsor or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2. No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement).

 

6.3  Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices”) required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile; provided, that if such service or transmission is not on a business day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given on the next business day following timely delivery of such notice to a reputable air courier service with an order for next-day delivery.

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

 

6.5  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

6.6  Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written, including the Prior Agreement.

 

6.7  Modifications and Amendments. Upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the Registrable Securities (including MasTec or Stratos if it then holds Registrable Securities) at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one holder of Registrable Securities, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other holders of Registrable Securities (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the holder so affected.

Pensare Completes Business Combination with Computex to Form American Virtual Cloud Technologies

 

Led by an Executive Team Responsible for Architecting Multi-Billion Dollar Enterprises Across TMT Sector, Combination Is a Nasdaq-Listed Company Poised to Become Premiere IT Solutions and UCaaS Provider

 

ATLANTA, GA, April 7, 2020 – Pensare Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: WRLS) (“Pensare”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced business combination with Stratos Management Systems, Inc. and its operating companies, which do business as Computex Technology Solutions (“Computex”), a leading IT Solutions and Managed Services Provider (MSP) with a 30-year legacy of success.

 

The business combination was approved at a special meeting of stockholders of Pensare on February 27, 2020, and closed on April 7, 2020. In connection with the transaction, Pensare has changed its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies (“AVCT” or the “Company”). The shares of common stock of AVCT are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq tomorrow, April 8, 2020, under the symbol “AVCT” and the warrants of AVCT are expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “AVCTW.”

 

Computex will continue to operate under its name and its Executive Leadership team of Sam Haffar, Chief Executive Officer; Faisal Bhutto, EVP of Enterprise Networking, Cloud & Cybersecurity; Worth Davis, EVP & CTO; Chris Laney, EVP of Sales; and Jesus Perez, EVP & CFO will continue to lead Computex and work alongside AVCT to expand into new markets.

 

AVCT believes it is well-positioned to quickly emerge as a force in the UCaaS market. AVCT’s new product portfolio, coupled with its previously announced agreement with AT&T, will enable AVCT to target mid-market business customers with cloud-based, fully managed unified communications, networking, and managed IT solutions, including remote workforce capabilities.

 

“With the completed acquisition of Computex, we now have a strong platform where we can build a premier virtual cloud communications and technology provider,” said AVCT CEO Darrell Mays. “AVCT’s strategy is to provide Computex with the capital, expertise, and resources they need to enhance their growth organically as well as enable acquisitions to enter new markets.”

 

To further enhance its leadership and strategic management, AVCT has appointed Thomas King as Chief Financial Officer and, as previously announced, Graham McGonigal as Chief Operating Officer to help execute on the overall growth strategy with Computex. Mr. King has an extensive background as senior executive with various private equity sponsored and public companies including Allied System Holdings, Inc. and WestRock Company. Mr. McGonigal will draw from his experience in his previous roles as Chief Operating Officer of nsoro and MasTec Network Solutions as well as executive positions at AT&T, Vonage, Cingular Wireless, and Bellsouth.

 

“We are delighted to join AVCT to expand our brand presence, offerings, and grow our market share in building a global cloud services and full-scale IT solution provider,” said Sam Haffar, CEO of Computex. “We believe this transaction will not only allow us to better serve the existing customers responsible for Computex’s success to date, but also further enhance our strategic leadership and business planning prowess to turn market potential into steady growth.”

 

 

 

 

Summary of Transaction

 

Pensare acquired Computex for a mix of shares of the Company’s common stock, subordinated debentures, warrants to purchase shares, and assumption of indebtedness. The debentures and warrants were in the same forms as those issued and sold by the Company in a private placement effected by the Company in connection with the transaction.
